Slanca: Improved version!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Aspen: The original plot made no sense what so ever this one does!
"Percy?" Percy's head turned in time to look at his pretty girlfriend. Annabeth gray eyes usually sharp and clear, were muddled with worry.
"What is it beautiful?" he replied.
"Chiron called for us."
"Why are you acting so scared, its just Chiron." Percy asked, confused.
"He didn't call Grover, only the two of us." Annabeth said, wringing her hands nervously.
"So?"
"Oh never mind, I might be over thinking, hurry up lets go," with that she turned and walked away. Percy scrambled up to his feet and with a mock salute called after her.
"Yes Ma'am!" Catching up to her he asked, "So do you have any idea why he's calling us?" he asked.
"I think it has to do with a mission but that's just a wild guess." she replied.
Percy did a fist pump in the air. It had been a whole two years since he had gone on a mission. Annabeth looked at him, amused at his childish play. Percy grabbed her by the waist and placed a kiss on her lips. They stood there, their lips interlocked. Percy broke the kiss for a long gulp of air. Panting he said, "Annabeth you were always better at holding your breath!" she snorted.
"You call yourself a son of Poseidon; if we hurry up we might see if the mission is actually a fluke."
"Race you!"
"Oh no you don't!" pulling out her Yankees cap and placing it on her head, she disappeared. Percy ran as the wind whipped his brown hair back, the surge of energy and excitement pumping his adrenaline. When Chiron's office came in view, he pushed himself to go faster. He threw the door open and gasped for air, scanning the area. Chiron stood at his desk which was snow white from all papers that were scattered upon the surface.
"Please have a seat Percy." Chiron gestured to an armchair which looked inviting and cozy. Its look did not deceive Percy's eyes. He sat, Chiron stood there for a moment then said, "The reason why…" Percy felt something move under him
"Wait a minute Chiron," he got up and turned, face to face with Annabeth's warm gray eyes.
"Boo!" She laughed; it gave Percy the warm feeling of when he first fell in love with her. He pulled her off the couch and kissed her again, this time crushing her body into his. His tongue darted out and tried to urge her mouth open, but he was interrupted by a cough. Both he and Annabeth dazed, looked at Chiron. Percy turned a deep red; he took a sideways glance at Annabeth who looked collected and calm like a business woman.
"What was it you wanted to talk about Chiron?" Chirons eyes twinkled in amusement as he started again, "Since all the raging hormones have been tamed, as I was saying earlier, the reason why I called you here is because of a mission."
Percy jumped up and shouted, "Wahoo!"
Annabeth on the other hand was worried, "Since you called the two of us, why not call Grover?"
Chiron chuckled as he said, "I have other things I want Grover to do. Any ways you're mission is to find two demigods; one is you're half-sister Percy, and the other is…." He trailed off. "Well those two travel together so you can find them easily". Chiron finished without explaining the other demi-god.
"How can we find them?" Percy said.
"They were last seen at the Lotus Casino, and that was about two hours ago" Chiron said thoughtfully. Annabeth and Percy both shuddered at the summer of 7 years ago. Chiron produced an envelope from the front of his orange Camp Half-blood t-shirt, "I have gotten you plane tickets to your destination and there is a credit card which can be used for emergency," He handed them the white lifeline."Please get these two demi-gods to the camp safely," Chiron looked thoughtful for a moment, "Oh yes one more thing, you're plane leaves in two hours so you better hurry up." With that Annabeth and Percy left Chiron's office and headed out of the gates of Camp Half-Blood.
"Hey Annabeth can we go in your car? Cause you know it's faster, it has all those cool gadgets." Percy said excitedly.
Annabeth giggled, "Yeah sure, but you know I updated it since the last time you rode in it."
"Choclatey Awesomeness" Percy did another fist pump.
Annabeth rolled her eyes and replied, "I love you Percy."
"I know you do beautiful," Annabeth laughed as she pulled out her keys. Beep beep, Annabeths black sleek BMW's lights blinked. They got in, Percy on the passenger side while Annabeth was on the drivers seat.
"Hello Miss Chase, how are you this lovely summer evening?" An electronic voice spoke up.
"Well Octus we need to get to the airport."
"Certainly ma'am, please give me your tickets so I can scan them," a tray popped out from beneath the CD player.
"Percy place the tickets in the tray would you please?" Percy wordlessly opened the white envelope, took out the tickets, and placed them on the tray.
"Thank you kind sir," Octus said. With that the tray vanished and the radio turned on, a song was playing, Annabeth started singing along,
"…Waiting at your back door all this time how could you never notice meeeee, you belong with meee, you belong with me..." She blushed when she noticed Percy staring at her.
"No, no, go on! you sounded really good I think even Taylor would be jealous." Annabeth smiled but didn't sing anymore. Then the next song came on.
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, floating through the wind wanting to start again? Do you ever feel so paper-thin like a house of cards one blow from caving in?"
Percy went forward and turned the radio off, he looked outside his window. Annabeth had tinted the windows so dark that no one could see inside but the person inside could view everything like they were outside.
"Percy we will be there in about two hours so bear with it OK?" Annabeth's soft voice said, but Percy was already fading into a sweet slumber.
A flap of mighty wings ascended through a canyon. A figure stood at the peak of a red tipped mountain and held a hand out for the mighty beast.
"Massterrrr..." it crooned, cuddling next to the figure.
"So how is it?"
"How is what my beloved master? For whom I fly fields and countries, for whom I create a web, a web filled with treachery and misery, for whom I..."
"Alright! enough! I will have to send another worthy beast for this simple task."
"No master please dont! I will tell you everything!" The beast looked around the empty regions and quickly whispered a string of words into his leaders ear. "..And that is what I heard."
"So the plan worked out. Very good my pet!" The figure pet the beast soothingly, "Now we just need a spy instilled at the camp." The figure pondered.
"If I might interject, my greatness," the beast asked hesitantly.
"You may."
"What about the two children you orphaned. They would seem handy in this situation."
"No not that! I was thinking about the two kids whose parents I killed."
"You are as brilliant as always master." The beast applauded.
"I will steal the weapon from Zues in times matter." The figure gave a chilling laugh which the beast followed. When it quieted, the figure looked at the beast and asked, "Well why are you still here?"
"To report to you master."
"You are done reporting! GO AND GET MORE INFORMATION!" The figures voice boomed through the caverns as the beast flew from fear back to the camp.
