Well here is my attempt at a Pecabeth story and it might have a few spoilers I'm not sure but I have read all the books. Well this takes place about a week after Percy's 16th b-day. ( So at first I ran out of ideas for this story, starting it in social studies class at the end of the year and now a month and a half later am finally going back to it) Well on with the disclaimer!
I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. (otherwise Percy&Annabeth would've been together by now!)
Now I bring you…. Aphrodite's Promise!
Percy stands in front of Kronos, Annabeth stands next to him looking upset and a bit worried. Percy slowly turns towards her and takes something out of his pocket. It's a small silver chain with an even smaller clear bottle hanging on it. He hands it to Annabeth. "What is it?"
"Unique ocean water. (a/n: I don't know where I got this from, just go with me.) It will heal your most serious injuries. It will heal you and only you. If anyone else uses it, it will only make their injuries worse."
"Why are you giving this to me?"
Percy is now facing Kronos, but answers her, "I don't want anything to happen to you. You're my best friend and mean more to me then you know. Now go, it doesn't look like he's going to wait much longer and you need to help the others."
Annabeth starts running and Percy turns his head towards her slightly and whispers, "I don't really want you to leave me." and then turns back towards Kronos.
"Let's just get this over with." "Hn. Yes."
(a/n: I am horribly bad at action/fighting scenes so lets skip to the end.)
Percy is leaning against a tree after defeating, but not killing, Kronos. Hades came to "collect" him and dump him back in Tartures (a/n: spelling?). He looks around only seeing mayhem, destruction, and death. 'Death. I need to find Annabeth!' Percy jumps up, despite his injuries, and runs around looking for Annabeth. Finally he spots a flash of silver/blonde hair, runs towards the girl and turns her around saying, "Annabeth!"
"Ummm…no…"
"Shizlets. (a/n: HaHa my friend made up that word cuz we're not aloud to swear. I think it's funny.) Sorry you must be her sister. Do you know where she is?"
"Mmhmm. I think. The last time I saw her she ran into the forest chasing three mature Telekhines so they wouldn't attack you from behind."
"AND YOU SAW HER GO IN WITHOUT HELPING!"
"I was dealing with two of my own, Thank You Very Much!"
"Sorry. I'm just worried."
"That's alright.'
"Thanks. Bye." and with that Percy runs into the forest.
Ten minutes after running, he hears something behind him and instinctively pulls out riptide. "oh. It's just you Chiron."
" 'Hello Chiron, how are you? Everything alright?' 'I'm fine thank you for asking. Everything is the best it could be right now.'"
"Chiron, maybe you should see a shrink. You do know that carrying on a conversation with yourself is the first step of insanity?"
"Well. Maybe if you would greet me properly I wouldn't have to do that now, would I?" he replies with a huff.
"Chiron! I don't have time! I need to find Annabeth!"
"Percy," he starts softly "we're going back to camp to treat the wounded properly and we're coming back for the..err… dead tomorrow."
"She's not dead Chiron! She's strong!"
"Percy, she's sixteen and took on three mature Telekhines by herself. Think of the odds."
"I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I FIND HER, DANG IT!"
"Percy, don't do anything reckless. And go find her, but how are you going to get back to camp?"
"We won't. we'll go to my aunt's, she lives a few minutes from the battle ground."
Chiron nods and hands him a backpack full of medical supplies, ambrosia, nectar, and drachmas. Percy runs off ignoring Chiron's worried instructions.
"That kid…"
An hour later Percy hears yelps of pain coming from the center of the forest. He gets to the center a minute later, and see's something silver-ish behind a bush.
"Annabeth?"
"per-percy? P-please help."
"Annabeth! What…happened?"
"The Telekhines th-they were t-to big."
Annabeth is sitting behind the bush, her silver/blonde hair covered in sweat, blood, and dirt, actually, that's what her entire body looks like. Percy takes the backpack off and cleans her wounds and wraps them up.
"Percy, I think, I think my ankle might be broken."
"Alright, come here." Percy picks her up on his back giving her a piggy-back ride.
"Percy! Where are we going?!"
"My aunts house. She lives close and knows everything about my dad and stuff. She's my mom's twin."
"oh."
Twenty minutes and a lot of what-happened-to-those-kids? looks they are standing in front of a blue-and-white farm house. Percy knocks on the door, Annabeth still on his back.
"Aunt Susana! It's me, Percy. We need some help, please open up!"
"Perseus! Oh my! Your mother called me telling me what might happen, and, by the looks of it something did happen. Come, come sit down."
Percy walks in, lays Annabeth down on the couch and sits down in front of her.
"You O.K Annabeth?"
"Y-yeah. I think so. My ankle feels really swollen though."
"Ohhh. And who might this be Perseus?"
"Hmmm? What was that Auntie? I was checking Annabeth's ankle we think its broken. Oh right this is my best friend and half-blood Annabeth Chase."
"Oh my. You are a mess dear! Let me get you something to change into and you can clean up alright?"
"O.K"
"JESSICA!!"
A tall girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walks down the stairs.
"Yeah? Hey Perce. What's up?"
"Jessica go get a pair of clothes for Perseus' friend here and help her clean up to. I told you about Percy's ehh… life right?"
"Mmhmm."
"Well Annabeth here is the same. Who's your father dear."
"My father? He's Fredrick Chase. My mother, now my Mother is Athena."
"oh. Well umm. Why don't you go with Jessica here and she'll help you clean up. And Perseus go wash up and change your clothes."
"Go on Annabeth, just go with Jess. I'm going to message Chiron."
"O.K Percy but why didn't you leave with the others?"
Percy turns around so Annabeth can't see his face. And says very quietly,
"I told you, you're my best friend, and even though the chances were large that you were dead I wouldn't leave until I found you," he chuckles dryly, "ask Chiron. I yelled at him that you were strong and wouldn't die and that he couldn't make me leave unless you were with me. Eventually he gave up and gave me the pack with supplies. Go get cleaned up."
Annabeth is smiling now and with the help of Jess she walks off. Percy digs in the pack and comes out with a drachma. He walks over to the fountain in his aunt's living room.
"Oh, Iris goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering and connect me to Chiron at Camp Half-Blood."
And then a rainbow appeared with Chiron in the center.
"Chiron."
"Percy! What happened? Is Annabeth with you? Are you all O.K?"
"Annabeth is perfectly safe. And alive. She destroyed the Telekhines but we think her ankle is broken and she has a lot of injuries but I don't think it's anything to serious. And yes we are safe at my aunts house my cousin, Jess, is getting Annabeth some new clothes and helping her clean up now."
"I see, I see. Alright. That's all I needed to know. I will contact your mother. Now, go and clean up and get Annabeth's ankle looked at by professionals."
"O.K bye Chiron."
"Goodbye Percy."
And with that Percy takes out riptide and cuts the connection, goes washes up and changes into a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt. Once he comes back downstairs he sits on the couch and starts talking to his Aunt Susana. A few minutes later Annabeth comes down with the help of Jess.
"These were the only clothes that fit me."
Annabeth is standing in a pair of dark, almost black, blue jeans and a white slightly sparkled halter-top.
"Ummm…" and shaking his head because he can't find anything to say he continues, "Auntie, can you drive us to the hospital we need to get Annabeth's ankle looked at. Then can you drive us back to mom's or somewhere close? Jess I'll bring those back as soon as I can."
"Of course Perseus." "Keep 'em. They look good on her, they looks horrible on me." they reply at the same time.
