Loyal to a fault.
Hey bet you didn't expect this! I am still working on Unbound, do not fear! But this plot bunny was too strong. As you most likely know this is a PJO/HoO fanfic. It will be 100% percabeth, with Soulbonding.
Percy p.o.v.
The Argo II sailed calmly across the Mediterranean sea, I was happy to be back on the ocean, 'And out of Tartarus,' I thought. Everything seemed like a dream, and any minute I would wake up with Annabeth in Tartarus. 'Stop thinking like that Percy Jackson!' I berated myself. Yesterday Reyna, Nico, and Hedge left. The rest of the crew were all on the deck talking, or reading. I caught Annabeth's eye, she gave me a smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. I was almost certain she'd been thinking the same things as I. Then I caught a whiff of a smell I had not smelled in ages, 'Moonlace.' I looked over the sides for Ogygia, but with my nautical senses I could tell were not near land, not even phantom islands. I walked all over the ship until I caught it. Leo, was the source, now that I thought about it Leo had been acting strangely. "Leo, why do you smell like Moonlace?" I asked him not loud but also not a whisper, my voice rough.
"Moonlace? What's Moonlace? I don't know Moonlace!" I glared at him, using the tools Lupa had taught me. "Fine, I visited Ogygia! With Calypso, you broke her heart, she talked about you often."
"But that makes no sense! The gods swore on the river Styx! They promised to let her go," I argued weakly, it made sense now, the curse on Annabeth in Tartarus. Leo shook his head, "No man, she's still stuck on that island."
Blood rushed in my ears.
Annabeth p.o.v.
The Argo II stopped suddenly, not like a boat, like someone had hit the breaks. I was tossed across the deck, I looked for Percy, what I saw chilled me. Everyone on board was toppled, except Percy. He was standing in the middle fists clenched, the sea around us was holding the ship back. I knew little of powers but I knew that this would take an enormous amount of energy. Percy' s eyes were shut tightly, at first I thought he was possessed, then his eyes snapped open. "YOU PROMISED!" He roared at the sky. His eyes made me shutter, they looked like Greek fire, green and full of rage. They were so different to the eyes of my Seaweed Brain, not at all gentle or humourous. "Seaweed Brain?" I asked. Then I felt all the water in my body being drawn out. I heard the others gasp, and Jason tried to get up but we were already at advanced dehydration.
"PERCY STOP, YOU'LL KILL US!" I screamed, my mouth dry. His gaze changed from fearsome to fearful. They looked like the eyes of Percy Jackson when he was claimed. Confused and scared.
"No..." he croaked, the ship surged forward and all the water at a puddle at our feet was reabsorbed. Then he jumped of the side of the ship.
All of us stared at where are life giving fluids once sat.
"What in Hades was that?" Jason asked, looked genuinely scared. "No! No! No!" I screamed. Everyone looked at me, "No, I told him, I told him..." then I exploded into tears.
"Annabeth? What's wrong?" Piper asked, her voice soothing and calm. She spoke as if Percy had not just almost killed us. "I told him in Tartarus to never do that again, but -"
"Wait, wait, Percy has done, that, before?" Frank asked. I told them about Akhlys Goddess of Misery, and how Percy had almost drowned her in her own tears and poison. "It really freaked me out, I told him some things aren't ment to be controlled."
"Well someone has to go talk to him,"Jason said, "Well how are we gonna do that? He is literally on the bottom of the ocean!" Hazel said, a little hysterical.
"I'll do it, I'll just turn into a fish or something," said Frank.
"No, I have to do it. If Nico were here I'd get him to do it," They all stared at me like 'Why?', "Nico, because he went to Tartarus and he has strange powers that no one quite understands," I answered the unspoken question. I tried to get up but the world spun, everyone else seemed to be having the same problem. Piper reached into a small pack at her hip and broke off some Ambrosia for everybody. "How are you going to get to the bottom of the sea?" Jason asked, "I still trust Percy." Was my only answer. With that I dropped my new Drakon bone sword into the water, waited about 5 seconds, during which everyone looked at me like I was insane, then I jumped.
Percy p.o.v.
What had I done? I had almost killed my friends doing something my Wise Girl had told me not to do. I was lower than scum I was the ooze stuck to someone's shoe. I know I couldn't live with myself knowing that I could've killed her. I cried, normally I don't care if I cry or not, but now I felt as if I didn't deserve to cry. Then I felt a disturbance, Annabeth' s sword plopped in the water, 'What?' I thought. I shot over there in time to see Wise Girl jump off the ship, I willed the water to be soft not hard, as to not hurt her. The water grabbed her and she came down next to me already in a protective bubble. I was getting way better at willing water to do my bidding. I found her sword and brought it up, the second I touched it the sword went completely dry. I pushed it into her bubble. She snatched my hand quicker than anything I've seen. She looked terrible, she was shaking softly and her skin was sallow as if I hadn't properly rehydrated her. I forced some water through the bubble, as it passed the barrier it lost all imperfections and salt, becoming drinking water. She stared at the small sphere of water then at me, "Drink," I told her, sure she couldn't hear me, but she read my lips and with her empty hand she cupped it and drank. She looked better almost immediately. "Talk to me," I read her lips. "I'm so, so, sorry," I mouthed back. "Get your barnacle encrusted butt in here, right now!" She mouthed angrily, I wasn't sure I was ready. Then she gave me a death glare. I positioned the bubble under the Argo II, so that I could easily keep us moving with the ship. I looked up and saw the stables, then I entered the bubble. She grabbed me and held on tight, sobbing into my shirt. "I don't know...what that was. Gods! I'm a failure, supposed to be a leader, instead I try to kill my quest mates, Oh gods Annabeth I don't know what I'd do if..." I let it hang.
"Seaweed Brain, I don't know what that was, but it's okay now," she said eyes a washed out gray. "No! It's not okay! Three more seconds Annabeth! Three more, then you would all look like the old Oracle, I could've killed you!" Then I started sobbing into her shirt. "Shh, it's okay, really. We are all okay."
Frank p.o.v.
We were all in the mess hall, "So, that was, yeah," Leo said. "Percy is far more powerful than any of us thought. Honestly I'm scared, I've never heard of powers like that in any myth, Greek or Roman," Jason said. 'Jason scared! That's not good!' I thought. "What do we do? What can we do? You all saw the look on his face when he figured out what he had done, he looked devastated. I thought he killed Annabeth, that was how broken he looked," Piper added.
"Frank? Can you go check on them? I'd just go down to the stables." Said Hazel tiredly, "Uh, sure, I'll report with what I find." Honestly I was happy to get out of there. As I made my way to the stables I kept thinking about the Percy I knew. He was strong but caring, gentle but headstrong, he would do any thing for the people he loved. I wondered what had made him so angry. I'd have to ask Leo. I got to the stable treading carefully, I sat down and changed to a mouse. What I saw made my mousey eyes bug out of my head. There was a bubble in the ocean, floating under me. I saw Annabeth sitting in it pulling a distraught Percy in. She burried her head into his shoulder, they exchanged words then Percy started to sob deeply on Annabeth, then she put her head back on his shoulder, patting his back. They sat there for a while taking strength from one another. I left feeling intrusive. I was asked to check on them 2 more times. The next I found them kissing so hard coach Hedge would've exploded. The last I saw possibly the strangest sight ever. Percy was braiding Annabeth' s hair like a pro, and Annabeth was cutting Percy' s hair with her sword. I came back up to the mess hall with 3 different answers. First, "I just think I saw cutest/saddest thing ever," Piper raised an eyebrow, "Percy and Annabeth were down there in a bubble crying on each other," I said.
Second, "They were down there making out so hard It would've made Venus blush," that caused her daughter to blush.
Final, "They are playing stylist down there," and I explained what I saw, "Oh gods on Olympus that awesome!" cried Leo.
"Anyway, Leo, I have a question. What did you say to Percy that made him go all Blood bender on us?" Everyone else looked at him expectantly,
"Remember Annabeth' s story about how Percy shot out of a volcano?" We all nodded, "Well I know where he went..." He went of on a story about an island and a titan child, Calypso. He told us the gods would send her hero's to fall in love with, the catch? Her type was a Percy type, sweet and strong, but too noble to leave their friends behind. Then Leo crash landed and got away because she fell for him.
"I guess I still smell like her garden, because Percy came and asked me about it, when I said she was still stuck on the island he lost it." He finished looking sad and tired.
Annabeth p.o.v.
After Percy and I stoped crying I asked what set him off, "Annabeth do you know what my fatal flaw is?" He asked, I racked my brain and all I knew was that it wasn't hubris. "No, I don't," I said.
"Loyalty, is my fatal flaw," he said "Your mother told me." He sounded like the time he told me where his Achilles Mark was. "Loyalty is good!" I protested, "Athena told me the worst flaws are the ones that are the best in small measures," he said softly, "Think about it any time I made us go on a quest it was because I had some one I loved taken away from me. First my Mom, then Grover, and you, always you. She said I would sacrifice the world for a friend.
"I'm telling you this because I want you understand my actions. On Mount St Helens I flew to Ogygia." He looked at me curiously. "Ogygia? With Calypso!?" I asked. "Yes, she fell In love with me, and told me her story," the whole time Percy faced away from me. All the sudden I was really happy, Percy was here with me, not with a beautiful goddess on a luscious island, I told myself that thinking like this was petty. "The gods would send her heros she could not help falling in love with, like me, I guess. Eventually Hephestus came and gave me a choice, I could stay and be immortal and happy, or I could return and claim the prophecy. I chose to return, a raft appeared and carried me home. The whole trip I thought of you.
"Then after the last battle I turned down immortality again, instead I would free the people like Calypso, and honor the minor gods, and Hades. Then today I find out Leo has been to Ogygia too, meaning they did not honor their promise. I'm sorry, I don't deserve friends like them, I especially don't deserve you. I felt so much rage I had to do something, anything. Then I hurt you guys, now I can't believe how...how evil I was." I was shocked, he turned down immortality TWICE for me? "Percy?" I called he turned and I kissed him and didn't let go. I felt something strange on my face I backed up whispering, "You are not evil! Percy the world is not black and white. What you did in Tartarus was scary but it was necessary. And up there, it might have been dangerous, but it was seriously amazing, I've never heard of powers like those." I looked on his face wondering what had itched my face. What I saw made me gasp, laugh, and whimper all at the same time.
"What!? Are you hurt? Did I hurt you?" His eyes were crazed as he searched me for wounds. "No, Percy! I'm fine, It's you! You have...hair on you face!" He looked confused then he blushed, his hand reaching for his face, as he rubbed where facial hair was popping up his eyes got wide. "Well, um thats different," he said weakly. "Do you want a beard? Or a mustache?" I asked wondering when the little boy that drools in his sleep, and didn't know what a demigod was, grew a beard. "Umm, my dad has one but I don't know?" He said, then his eyes sparkled like I'd haven't seen in awhile, "I don't know, do you want me to have a beard?"
"SEAWEED BRAIN! It's your face!" I squealed, "I don't know about that, Wise Girl, am I not yours?" He asked, "Ugh, I don't know! Yes!...No, sure?"
"I guess that means Percy Jackson is growing a beard!" He winked, "For my Wise Girl." He declared to a nearby fish, the poor thing looked shocked, then sped off. "Papparzi, what are you going to do?" He said seriously, "Wait you mean...the sea world will know about your beard? And us, alone, in a bubble."
"Yep!" He said, "Oh well, you have brought something to my attention! You need a haircut!" I told him pulling out my sword. "Umm, if you do that can I braid your hair?" He asked timidly, 'Gods he's cute,' I thought, "Why not?" We spent a good time styling each other, Percy braided my hair beautifully, and I cut his wild shock of hair to a less scruffy look. Then we laid down hands intertwined, we looked at the world slipping by. Percy drifted off, but the bubble stayed in place. When a *tap* hit our bubble. A dolphin was staring at us, Percy jumped awake Riptide drawn. The bubble wiggled, "Frank?" Percy asked, the dolphin - Frank rolled his eyes. "He says its dinner time," Percy announced. The bubble grew and encased Frank. He turned to a regular Frank, "Nice hair, and is that stubble?" Frank asked, Percy blushed hard. I noticed how nervous Frank looked speaking to Percy.
Percy p.o.v.
I was freaking out. I was tempted to bolt, but Annabeth' s smile melted my heart. She trusted me so much, it made me brave. I made the sea rise to push our bubble onto the Argo II, Annabeth pushed me out first. I stumbled almost losing control of the water, the pillar of water wobbled and I paled, and put my whole heart into keeping them safe. The pain in my gut intensified to unbearable. I watched as my Wise Girl almost fell and Frank I could see was preparing for a change, the pillar bent pouring them onto the deck. I realized how much energy all my stunts had cost me. I tottered and fell, the world blacked out.
Piper p.o.v.
Percy fell face first on the deck, a horrible crunching sound came from him. Annabeth ran up her hair beautiful, braided on the top of her head. "What's wrong with him?" I asked nervously, "He's out of energy, he used it all!" She cried, "Quick! Nectar or Ambrosia! This could be deadly!" Hazel ran to the infirmary, she came back with a bottle of Nectar, a stretcher, and an Ambrosia square. Annabeth poured a little Nectar into Percy' s mouth. Hazel and I hoisted him on the stretcher, he was too light for a guy his size and age. With guilt I realized Annabeth was underweight with her clothes hanging off of her. They both acted like Tartarus hadn't phased them, and everyone was inclined to believe that. Annabeth had dark rings under her eyes, at the infirmary they put Percy on a cot. Annabeth Sat next to it tears tracing their way down her face, "It's okay Annabeth," I said forcing Charmspeak into the words, "No it's not! That was too much even for him. This has happened only once before and the only reason he survived was a literal goddess."
"I'm sure he'll be okay, he is Percy Jackson," Jason comforted, "Ugh, you don't get it, he has used all his energy, energy needed to pump hearts and work organs." She placed her head on his chest and cried. Everyone but me ran out of the room. I sat in a chair and waited.
"He told me his fatal flaw." She quietly says, "What's a fatal flaw? It doesn't sound good." I ask. "Every hero has one, it is a flaw in their character. Mine is Hubris." She says voice full of pain. "In New Rome he told me plans he had to build a life together. He wanted to settle down, go to college, have kids. That kind of stuff, he was -" her mouth gaped and she screamed, "HIS HEART'S NOT BEATING! OH GODS NO!" She started CPR when Jason skid in the room, "Move!" He commanded. Annabeth was staring at Percy her eyes almost black. "No, Seaweed Brain. This is not the end it can't be! Chiron didn't even see you again, and Oh poor Sally." Annabeth mummered, I saw Jason rubbing his hands and concentrating over Percy' s now bare chest. Jason slammed his hands down him, Percy lifted of the cot a little, electricity sparking around the crew's leaders. I looked out the window and saw something, a tanned man with a black beard and hair, looking sorrowfuly at Percy, his green eyes misty. Annabeth gasped when she saw him, "Poseidon, help!" She muttered kneeling, he looked at Annabeth, then at his son. He looked back at Annabeth, all the while Jason was pumping Percy with electricity. "He Loves you girl, don't mess that up." The sea god disappeared leaving a box made of mother of pearl. At that moment Percy' s eyes fluttered open. I felt something behind me, a dove was perched on a window. It looked at me with intelligent eyes. 'Remember what you just saw, daughter. That was Love. With a capital L, it is rare, but true,' said a voice in my head and the dove flew away.
Annabeth p.o.v.
I knocked over a weazing Jason, normally I would feel bad, but my Seaweed Brain had just come back from the dead. On the way I grabbed the box Poseidon had left, 'He Loves you girl, don't mess that up.' Was what Poseidon had told me. I plopped myself down next to my Seaweed Brain. He looked at me his green eyes dull but sparkling with something I couldn't place, the way he looked at me left me tingling. "I Love you," I told him tears threatening to fall, but I had cried entirely to much this day. I heard Piper gasp, his eyes grew clearer, "You mean all I have to do get you to say I Love you, is die?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean, Jackson?" Asked Hazel, I'd never heard her so hostile before, "What I mean is -" he tried to stretch but instead whimpered and curled up, "Oh, gods! Why do I feel like an electric manatee ran me over," Percy groaned.
"Hey! This electric manatee takes offence to that!" Said Jason "Shut up Jason I need to hear what Jackson meant." Hazel said loudly. "I wasn't dead like you were dead, if that's what you want to know," Percy replied, sitting up.
"But you were dead?" I asked carefully. Then I noticed something his in his left iris, I black spot, where it usually shone sea green. "Do you think I would joke about this, Wise Girl?" He looked a little hurt, "No, I don't think you would. What happened?" He took a deep breath, "Hand me the box Annabeth, please." I didn't know how he could know about it, but I gave it to him. He looked in it without showing anybody, but he suddenly burst in to a big grin. He put it in his charred pocket, and he began," I was trying to save Annabeth and Frank because I really didn't want them to die, I was willing to sacrifice myself for them so I put all my energy into getting you on deck safe. Since I had already used most of my energy, it was harder than usual, I managed to save you and then I let go I had no energy left, and I was tired. I fell over but when I got up my body was still laying there, I was not quite dead yet, you took me to the infirmary. I saw Annabeth there her head on my chest, I sat next to her, telling her it would be okay, and that I would be an annoying ghost I would follow her anywhere. But then my heart stopped. I was ready to go away when my dad stopped me, right there," he said pointing at the window where Poseidon had appeared, he grinned, "He stopped me and said "You qualify to choose between life and death." Then two arches appeared, one showed the Isle of the Blest. The other showed Annabeth, the day we saved Olympus at the party. The Poseidon said "Choose, son. One will take to The Isle of the Blest. The other back to your body," I said, "How's that possible? You have to be reincarnated three times to get there." "
He took a deep breath again and smiled weakly at me. Rubbing the rectangular box with his thumb. "Then dad said, "Who says you haven't already lived?" I think my eyes must of bugged 'cause he laughed. Two hazy Images appeared, one was a man I didn't know, the other was, a little girl. The man said, "I am John, 35, son of Asclepius, medic in the Great War." The girl smiled and said, "I'm Lizzie, 6, I pushed my brother out of the way of a car." Poseidon, said "Choose son, for they will soon give up." I looked over an saw Jason rubbing his hands over me. "I choose Annabeth, I'd miss her too much if I left her, and the crew need me." Then I came back!" I hugged him, hard, "OW! Annabeth! My chest hurts!"
"Oh, stop whining," I said touching his chest. "You have a broken rib Seaweed Brain."
"Dude, you gotta stop making the rest of us boys look bad!" Leo complained, Percy smiled slightly, "Sorry man, I just do what I do, I what I'm doing right now is taking a nap." He then promptly fell over asleep. "I've never heard of any choice about death," Jason said rattled. "Man, Percy is surprising, even for a demigod," Leo said shaking his head. I just stared at my Percy. I was flabbergasted, and as a child of Athena, I am not usually flabbergasted, loyalty clearly was Percy's fatal flaw, I didn't even know for sure that would have chosen to return. "Annabeth?" I looked behind me, Piper was looking at me cautiously, "Yeah?"
"Everyone's gone to bed, and uhh, I was wondering where you were going to sleep. I could set up another cot..." She said, "Umm, no I'll go to bed," I answered. I rubbed my thumb over where he was growing whiskers. "He Loves you, you know?"
"I...I know," I replied, my voice cracking a little. "Well, good night." I walked out the door and up the stairs. Let me explain, the infirmary is below Hazel' s room, so you had to walk down a small staircase if you were sick. Next to Hazel' s room was mine, and to a diagonal, Percy's. Directly across from mine was Piper' s, next to me Jason then Leo, across from Hazel was Coach Hedge' s, next to him, Frank. I stepped into mine, reminiscing on all that had occurred today. I lay down in my bed, almost immediately falling asleep. Then the dreams came.
I was in Tartarus, with the Fury-lookalikes, the auri, except I was Percy's position, my limbs felt like lead and my chest, gods it was horrible. I saw Percy stumbling, blind, "Annabeth! Don't leave me!" It broke my heart, I ran to him and stuck my hand out towards him, he teleported 3 feet away, "ANNABETH!" He wailed, "Why'd you leave me!" I choked back a sob, I kept slashing at them, curses piling up. Then Bob showed up, he killed the rest of the auri, I slumped, he ran over to Percy. I floated above my body, I saw Bob touch Percy, and his eyes clear. He looked at me, "Whats wrong with her!" I saw him run towards me, and cradle me. "Help her Bob!" His voice cracked, Bob rubbed my head, "No good he said."
Hazel p.o.v.
I was actually having nice dreams, then I heard, "ANNABETH?"
"PERCY!" I stuck my head out the door, Percy ran up the stairs in naught but his charred pants. Annabeth bolted out of her room, in only a tank top and underwear, eyes wide, she met him. Annabeth reached a tentative hand towards him, she stroked her hand on his face. I guess Percy' s rib had already healed, because when Annabeth squeezed him he didn't flinch, only hugged back. They both sat down on the floor, Annabeth looked in his eyes and said "You can see, right?" He nodded, "No phantom arrows? Plus you don't teleport away from me, so I'd say we're good." I had no idea what they were talking about, but I felt kinda like a peeping Tom, then I saw Piper motion towards me, then to the deck. I nodded and followed her.
"My mom talked to me," she blurted, "Venus?!"
"Aphrodite, but yeah," she answered, "Did you see Poseidon?" She asked randomly. "Umm, I'm guessing he was the bearded man who looked like Percy?" I said, I had seen a man with a beard and green eyes, but I only saw him for a second then he was gone. "Well, duh! Anyway after he spoke to Annabeth and disappeared, I turned around and saw a dove, which spoke to me. It said, "Remember what you just saw, daughter. That was Love. With a capital L, it is rare, but true," then it flew away. I wanted to tell someone, but obviously I can't tell Annabeth, and I don't know about the boys. I don't know what it means, and I was thinking mabye you could help me?" I considered what she had said, today was a very eventful day. I'd seen stuff this one day I hadn't seen in either of my lives, I mean I knew Percy was powerful demigod but, Shisht. "If I think of anything I'll let you know. I don't have the slightest idea, right now." I left, walking towards the rooms. "Umm, Piper?" I saw Percy and Annabeth, asleep in side a cocoon of green and gray...energy? The cocoon was inside a bright pink bubble. "What...Oh! What is that?"
"I don't know, they're alive, that's for sure. What do we do? Do we tell the rest of them?" I asked scared, "I guess we have to," Answered Piper.
Jason p.o.v.
I awoke to knocking on my door, I was in boxers and an undershirt. I threw on some pajama pants, I opened the door, Piper stood there, "Hurry there's something wrong with Percy and Annabeth!" I rushed out with her, Frank, Leo, and Hazel, were already there. Annabeth and Percy were in a pink bubble, 'What?' I thought, inside the bubble they were wrapped in a gray and green cocoon, beneath which, you could barely see them. They were in a embrace, foreheads together, closed eyes staring at each other. Percy was drooling all over Annabeth, but she didn't seem to care. "What in Hades? I'm glad coach Hedge isn't here!" Leo stated, looking at his watch, "Gods! It's like 1:33!"
"I don't know what's up with them but I did see, them before this," announced Hazel who looked at Piper, who nodded. "I was sleeping, then I was woken up by Percy screaming Annabeth' s name, she responded with his name. They ran at each other, but stopped right in front of each other. Annabeth reached her hand towards him, almost as if she was scared he wasn't there. When it touched him, they squeezed each other so hard it looked they were gonna pop. They slumped down to the floor together, and started talking, about blindness, phantom arrows, and teleporting away. Then Piper wanted to talk to me, and I think I'll let her take over."
Piper smiled and continued, "So you know when Jason was restarting Percy's heart? Well, right when back to life, I saw a dove. It spoke to me, and said, "Remember what you just saw, daughter. That was Love. With a capital L, it is rare, but true," so I talked to Hazel, to try to figure out my mother's message. Then we walked back in to see, well this."
Piper yawned and Hazel looked thoughtful. Frank looked like he did when he found them in the stables, and Leo was cracking up, "Can we name their kid Leo Jr?" Hazel started fanning herself, "LEO!"
"What? It's a na-" Leo was interrupted by Piper, "Look!" The bubble popped, leaving only the cocoon, that was being absorbed by Percy and Annabeth.
Percy p.o.v.
I had just had a horrible dream about the auri. Except, I was in Annabeth's place, I felt the abandonment, and then the loss when I saw her broken form laying there. I woke up screaming for her, when I heard her answer I was so happy. Then, when she was cautious about touching me I wanted to hug her, but I knew it would make her feel better to know that I wouldn't move away. When Annabeth's hand stroked my face we grinned and she hugged me. My rib still hurt but whatever. We sat down and made sure that we both were fine, then we snuggled, eventually falling asleep.
My dreams were good, Annabeth and I were exploring New Rome. "I think it's strange that only Roman demigods have this," I told Annabeth, "Well, the Romans were about the whole city thing," she responded. I just thought it was kinda unfair that the Greeks had to fight monsters till the day they died, I relayed this to Annabeth, she laughed and said, "I don't know, Seaweed Brain." I took her to the residential areas. Each of the houses were different, "You have to build your own house here, I suppose because Romans are all about the building thing, and I know how much you like architecture..."
"You mean they just let you build whatever?" Her eyes sparkled, "Well, within reason." I think she mumbled something like, "Cool!" We walked back to the main street with all the cafe's and such. I looked at Annabeth, our relationship was the most precious thing to me. She was still not as healthy looking as she was before the fall. "What do you wanna eat?" I asked her, rubbing my thumb on her hand. She looked at me and said, "Name their kid Leo Jr?"
"What?!" I asked, "Leo! What it's a na- Look!" I was really freaked out. Then I started to wake up. Sometimes Annabeth would tell me something then smile like it was an inside joke, but my mind would feel fuzzy, and I wouldn't remember. That's how I felt about most of the day. I remembered basic emotions, I was angry then crushed, then I was happy and then I was tired. I felt my arms around someone, I breathed in and smelled Annabeth, I opened my eyes to see a set of gray ones.
"Umm, what in Hades name is going on here?" Annabeth and I both jumped straight up. Ahh! 'What in the world?' I thought. Oh what the Hades! Who's In my head? Saida voice in my head, much like a sea creature or horse, 'I don't see any horses, what are you?' I thought. Percy? It said. Umm, yeah? I thought at it. "Percy, Annabeth, you're staring at each other," Piper said, My gods! Seaweed Brain, why are you in my head? Said the voice, Annabeth!?
"She's in my head," I told them, "And he in mine!" Annabeth added, "Cute, look we know you guys like each other, but-" Jason started, "No, like I can hear her, in my head, like a horse!" I told them, Did he just compare me to a horse? "No, I just used it to explain," I told her, she looked shocked. "Are you guys okay? I mean you fell asleep on the floor, in a pink bubble." Hazel seemed to be telling the truth. "No! I can hear a person in my head!"
A/n How did us like it! To be clear bold is ( when in Percy p.o.v.) is Percy purposely sending thoughts to Annabeth who is italic. ( in Annabeth p.o.v.) bold is any Percy thought and italic is purposeful Annabeth thoughts. Please reveiw!
