Annabeth and Piper ran through the sweet smelling strawberry fields in the rain.
"Where are we going?" asked Annabeth as thunder rolled across the valley.
The two girls managed to scramble beneath the shelter of a old oak tree which partially sheltered them from the rain.
"I don't know. Your cabin?" Piper responded.
Annabeth shook her head. "To many people,"
"What? It's break. I thought no one would stay at camp,"
"There are still a few of my siblings left behind," Piper said obviously upset about it.
"Well, now what?" Annabeth asked sadly.
"Well, we can still go back to my cabin... just hang out," Piper offered looking at the ground that was quickly turning to mud.
"And do what?" Annabeth asked in a voice that made Piper look up at her.
Annabeth Chase was completely soaked and shivering slightly from the cold rain drenching her skin. She wore a white tank top and a blue sweater along with a pair of jeans and some high tops. Like always, her blond curly hair was up in a ponytail. The difference today was that some of her wet hair had fallen from her ponytail and framed her pale face perfectly. Her gray eyes reflected the storm around them perfectly.
Annabeth was a storm alright. A storm of beauty, fierceness, love, and cleverness. Perhaps that is what made Piper fall for her in the first place.
As Piper stared at Annabeth she noticed that her white tank top was wet enough to see through. She tried not to stare at her girlfriends bra through the shirt but it was difficult.
Piper just wanted to hoist her up in her arms and kiss her and never stop. But that wasn't possible given the circumstances.
"We can talk. Hang out for a while...dry off," Piper said with a small laugh.
Annabeth smiled. "Being dry would be nice," she said slowly before looking at Piper again.
"Aha..you have a nice smile youknow," Piper said smiling fondly at her girlfriend.
Annabeth self consciously looked away making Piper shake her head. Piper walked up to the girl and quickly hugged her.
"Another day," she said with a small sigh.
"Its always another day," Annabeth complained before breaking away the hug.
Piper nodded and looked at the ground. She too, was upset that she and Annabeth would have to wait another day but she had to remain strong for her. Besides, beauty like that of Annabeth Chase was worth the wait.
The two girls ran through the storm towards Aphrodite cabin as quickly as possible. Upon getting there Annabeth was in front of Piper.
Right as Annabeth reached for the door Piper grabbed Annabeths hand gently.
"Hey," she spoke quietly in the rainstorm. "You know you're beautiful...right?"
Annabeth didn't say anything back to Piper. Instead, she just gently kissed her hand and opened the Cabin #10 door. Piper wouldn't have usually let Annabeth get away with not responding to something like that. But Piper made a exception just this once because she had never seen Annabeths cheeks blush such a deep shade of crimson before.
Piper followed Annabeth into the cabin happily.
