Almost Is Never Enough
This is my very first fanfiction and a Percabeth one. Please forgive me for my mistakes. I do not own Percy Jackson and the other characters. Rick Riordan owns all. R&R please. And enjoy(:
Chapter 1- Who, What, Where, When, Why, & How?
Annabeth's POV
"ANNABETH!"
I saw a satyr running towards me. My eyesight cleared up, and I noticed it was my friend, Grover. I was tired and I could feel warm blood trickling down the side of my head. That was the last thing I remembered…
I woke up to the sun shining down on me.
"Oh my Gods! You're finally awake!"
I jumped out of bed.
"Who are you? Where am I? What am I doing here? And how did I get here?" , I asked.
He chuckled a bit. "You're really funny, Annabeth. It's me! Grover…remember?"
At least I knew one thing, I thought. My name was Annabeth. I repeated my questions. And he finally answered some.
"Annabeth, you're in the infirmary." He said. "You needed some healing after the…uhm…the incident."
I looked at him blankly. I was too shocked that I never realized my head was bandaged. "What are you talking about?"
"You really don't remember, do you?" He asked.
I had a clueless look on my face for about five seconds, but decided to answer his question anyways.
"No. I don't remember a thing. I don't even know who I am. Besides my name. Annabeth…right?"
"Yeah." He said with an uneasy tone.
"So…uhm…the incident. What happened?" I asked.
"Don't worry 'bout it." He said. "Anyways, lemme show you around camp."
I only knew him for a couple minutes, but I knew he was someone who could be trusted.
"So, what is this place?" I asked.
"This is a camp. It's called Camp Half-Blood"
"Why is it called Camp Half-Blood?"
"Well the Greek Gods Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, etc, sometimes have babies with mortals. The babies are called Half-bloods or Demigods."
"So everyone in this camp are Half-bloods?"
"Not everyone. Most of them are. Some are satyrs, centaurs, etc."
"What are satyrs and centaurs?"
"Well satyrs are people who are half human, half goat. And centaurs are people who are half human, half horse." He explained. "I'm surprised you haven't fainted or ran off yet. Most people would."
"But shouldn't this be normal? Like, don't kids learn about Greek Gods and stuff?"
"Yeah. Well, they do, but they don't even know Half-Bloods or even about this camp. So…can you keep this a secret?"
"Uhh..sure..no problem. But first, you have to tell me who my godly parent is."
"That's it?" Grover asked
I nodded.
"Well, you're a daughter of Athena. Goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."
"Well, that's cool. What did I inherit from her?"
" You inherited her grey eyes, and you're pretty wise. You're also good in battle combat."
"Since, I can't remember anything, can I learn how to battle again?"
"Of course you can!" Grover replied.
I shouted out with glee.
"But first, I should really show you around the whole camp. Including the cabins and the people. Let's start off with our camp director, Chiron." He suggested.
I just nodded.
I learned that chiron was also a centaur, and I even met my actual friends here at camp. Some of them included Silena, Clarisse, Chris, Beckendorf, and many more. But I apparently hung out with them more.
A few months have passed, and I was back to my normal self. The only thing missing were all my memories. I'd always ask the others what happened in the incident, but they'd never tell me. So, I just let it go.
"Grover, is there anything you need me to do?" I asked.
"Nope." He responded.
I didn't realize Grover was packing his clothes into a suitcase.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Since, it's the end of summer vacation, I need to go back to school. I've been watching over a demigod. I'm his best friend at school. His name is Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, God of the seas."
"Can I come?" I pleaded.
"Uhm… only if Chiron lets you." He responded.
We quickly went to Chiron to ask if I could go.
"Please, Chiron? I've never been outside the camp before. I want to experience being with mortals."
Chiron hesitated, but he let me go anyways. Only if I bring four of my friends. I, of course brought Silena, Clarisse, Chris, and Beckendorf. Overtime, they all started going out. Silena was dating Beckendorf, and Clarisse was dating Chris . Even Grover had a girlfriend. Her name was Juniper. She was a tree nymph, but she was really nice. I always wondered when I would meet that special someone…
By the time we all finished packing, it was already dark. We headed to Manhattan. I was soo excited.
