A Percabeth Fanfiction
This story takes place before The Last Olympian
Chapter 1
ANNABETH'S POV
I woke up one beautiful, sunny morning at Camp Half-Blood. I would expect all of my siblings from the Athena cabin to be waking me up to ask me some scientific question that only I knew the answer to, but it was dead silent.
I became suspicious, as usual.
Not only that, but there was something bothering me. I knew there was some sort of event going on today, but I had no idea what.
It bothered me as I combed my hair, brushed my teeth, and walked to the Big House to ask Chiron if he knew.
But when I opened the door to the Big House, it was deserted. And, the lights were off.
I stepped in shakily, half expecting a demon would pop out of nowhere and attack me, but instead, the lights suddenly flicked on, and every demigod at camp jumped out from where they were hiding from me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNABETH!" they all shouted.
I shrieked, and then I laughed.
"Oh my gods, thank you so much everyone!"
Chiron walked up to me and patted me on the back.
"I'm proud of your progress over the past few years, Annabeth," he said.
I looked at him and smiled softly. "Thank you, Chiron. I feel honored.."
He chuckled. "Oh, by the way. Percy told me--"
"Wait! Where IS Percy?" I interrupted, shocked that he wasn't there to celebrate my birthday.
Chiron looked down at his feet, or should I say, hooves, and sighed.
"Something…came up. He'll be back by noon, Annabeth. And anyways, he told me to give this to you," Chiron explained, handing me a slip of paper that had my name on the back.
"Oh..thanks, I guess. Maybe I should get going." I replied, feeling bummed now that I realized Percy didn't even bother celebrating my birthday with me.
Chiron sighed, yet again, and said, "Your choice, Annabeth, but we haven't even gotten to celebrating yet!"
I shook my head and felt a stinging sensation in my eyes. The tears were coming. I thought Percy cared about me!
"Thanks, but no thanks, Chiron…I just need some alone time, I guess." I muttered.
"Okay," Chiron responded, coming to the conclusion that I did need some alone time. He sent all the demigods back to their cabins and told them breakfast would be served soon.
