Percy's PoV
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
"What now?" I asked. Annabeth had kept me up the whole night because of some temple and statue she had to redesign. Stupid Ares!*cue thunder*What's not great about Annabeth's architecture anyways? She had redesigned my dad's (Poseidon) game room at his underwater palace and I thought it was great.
I was supposed to have a day off with Annabeth to take her to meet Mom and Paul today. But then, my luck is horrible, right? So last night…..
*Flashback*
"Hey, Wisegirl? Go to bed and do Ares' statue or whatever tomorrow. You need sleep. You remember what you said about how lack of sleep cru…sorry, no its cub… What was it?" I said. "It is curb! Thalia was right!" Annabeth's so vague when she's preoccupied! So I voiced my thoughts, "About what?"
" About you having kelp for brains."
Ugh, why is she such a wise girl?...* a few moments, sorry, minutes of realization*… Oh! I nicknamed her Wisegirl for the same reason! Anyways, I tried once again. "Just go to sleep! You're tired, aren't you?". "Of course I'm tired, Seaweed Brain. But Lord Ares will have my head on his spear tomorrow if I don't modify the designs and present it to him." She replied angrily. "But aren't we going to Mom's tomorrow?" I asked. "We ARE going Percy. Once we report at Olympus, submit the designs for approval, inspect the structures under construction, see if anything's left out and…..". So we aren't going. Why can't she just say so?! Its not like Mom will kill her or anything. She will understand. "Percy, what can I change here? Does it look bad? Is it…?"
And thus began the saga of a horrible, sleepless night with a complaining Annabeth who couldn't figure out what was wrong with her designs.
*End of Flashback*
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Wisegirl screamed again.
I ran to the porch of my cabin to see what was wrong.
"IT'S A SPIDER!"
"It's just a spider.". I sighed. Why couldn't I sleep? This stupid creature just made my day.
" NO! ITS NOT JUST A SPIDER! IT'S AN EIGHT LEGGED, HAIRY, SCARY AND CREEPY MONSTROSITY WHOSE KIND NEEDS TO BE EXTERMINATED!", she screamed.
"Fine. Let me take care of it." I picked it up in my hand and was about to fling it into the grass when another loud scream was heard from Annabeth."NO!KILL IT PERCY!KILL IT!" Now, half the Athena cabin was running towards us. "Percy…what happened?" Malcolm asked. "Arcane happened, Malcolm. That is exactly what happened." I grumbled. I decided not to take Athena's name for the fear of being turned into a maggot."Oh" was all Malcolm said realizing what I meant before running back in the direction he came from with the rest of the Athenian kids taking off, including Annabeth.
First Ares and his statue and now this? So much for my day off with Annabeth.
