Annabeth Chase stared at the bracelet that she had placed under her pillow. The gold bracelet was beautiful, but until now, Annabeth had refused to looked at it. It was something her boyfriend, Percy, had given to her before he disappeared.
Staring at the bracelet, Annabeth took in every detail. It was a gold bracelet that shimmered lightly. The outside had small stairs engraved into it, and in the middle, an owl lay brilliantly. The inside, the side that touched her skin, said
To: my Wise Girl From: your Seaweed Brain
Happy One year Anniversary
Annabeth stared at the bracelet with wide eyes. One year… it hadn't even been six months! Why had he said one year?
Then a new thought came to her. Shaking her head she stared at the water fountain in his room. What if… He was acting weird that night. Even weirder than usual. He kept running a hand through his hair, a clear sign he was worried.
"Just so you don't forget you're my angel and my Wise Girl." He had said before kissing her goodnight.
She had laughed. "Well isn't someone a little worried tonight. You're not going to see me for what, ten hours?"
He had smiled and walked away, but not before giving her a kiss on the cheek and mumbling something she hadn't caught.
"He knew." Annabeth mumbled to herself, jumping up to get a hold of the one person she knew would listen.
"Thalia fricken Grace!" Annabeth hissed into the mist, trying to wake up her long time friend.
Thalia's electric blue eyes snapped open. Her hand flew to her bow and arrow while her eyes stared ahead. Finally, seeing the daughter of Athena, she sighed and relaxed. "Annabeth, what is it?"
"Thalia, I- I think I might know something." She stuttered, her eyes wide. She couldn't believe she hadn't figured it out sooner.
"Annabeth, you and the words 'think' and 'know' are never in the same sentence. Which is it?" Thalia asked, rolling her eyes and sitting against a tree.
Annabeth thought for a second before staring back at the bracelet. He knew I would figure it out. That's why he made it so obvious. Why else would he say one year anniversary unless he knew he was going to be gone? Sighing she nodded. "I know."
Thalia smiled lightly. "That's what I thought. So what is this oh so important thing that you had to wake me up for?"
"I think- I know that Percy knew what was about to happen. Maybe even Jason." She said, her mind turning up answers.
"What?" Thalia hissed, staring at her with interest.
"You heard me. I know Percy knew he was about to be swapped with Jason. He knew Gaea was rising and that he had to go to the Roman Legion. He knew he would be gone." She insisted, believing the words now that they were out.
Thalia shook her head. "Why do you think that?"
Annabeth sighed before explaining her reasoning.
After she was done, Thalia rolled her eyes. "Annabeth, I hate to break it to you, but Percy isn't the best with dates."
"It was his birthday, I think he would know that." Annabeth stated, rolling her own eyes.
"Alright, say you're right. What difference does it make? He's still at the Legion, Jason is still here, and Gaea is still rising." Thalia stated.
Annabeth sighed and laid down on his bed. "Yeah, I guess your right. Neither of them would know anything more."
Thalia smiled sadly. "Annabeth, go get some sleep. Probably in your own cabin. We can't have our camp head councilor so tired she can't command everyone."
Annabeth smiled lightly. "Later, Thalia."
"Bye." She said before removing the message.
