Hi Everyone! Okay, so This is my first Upload, and I really hope you like it! I write all the time, but this is the first time i'm publishing anything I've written. This takes place almost two years after the follow up series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Heroes of Olympus. Annabeth and Percy are Living in New Rome. Please write a Review!
Chapter 1
Something is going to happen. Soon. I don't know what, or if it's going to be good or bad, but I have been to Tartarus and back, and I highly doubt it could be worse than Tartarus.
All I know is that it has something to do with Percy. I just keep having this dream, and as soon as I woke up I forgot what happened. I just remember Percy and the feeling that something was really important.
I get out of bed and start getting ready for the day. Even though I finished moving to New Rome almost 3 months ago, I still am getting used to having my own place. I miss the Athena cabin at Camp Half-Blood. The smell of the strawberries all around the camp, Capture the Flag, and all the campers. Even Travis and Connor Stoll, no matter how annoying they are.
I hear my door open and close and my hand goes directly to my dagger, retrieved from Tartarus by Hazel Levesque and her awesome Metal sensing powers. She went to the edge of the pit and was actually able to bring it and Daedalus' laptop out of there. And afterwards, as a gift from my mother for finding her statue, Athena enchanted them both to return to me like Percy's sword. The Laptop comes back as a phone, and the knife comes back as a watch. All I have to do is tap the nob on the side, and it turns back into a knife. Which I finally named Castellan after Luke, who gave it to me in the first place.
"Hey Wise Girl. Good morning." I let go of the watch and turn around.
"How did you get in here, Seaweed Brain?" I ask him before giving him a good morning kiss.
"Leo taught me how to pick a lock." He says grinning.
"Of course he did. My life wouldn't be fun otherwise." I say. "Are you hungry? I was just about to eat."
"Why do you even ask?"
"Good question. Cereal is in the pantry. Fix me a bowl too."
We sit on the window seat while we eat, just talking about stuff like College, Legion training, light things like that. Things are finally calming down for us after saving the world. Twice.
"So, you know how school ends next week?" He asks me.
"Mmmm-huh." I say with a mouthful of Frosted Flakes.
"And how I have that early discharge from the legion in two weeks for Helping save the world From Gaea."
"Yeah."
"And how you're turning 19 in a month."
"A month sooner than you."
"You know I hate it when you bring that up."
"Yeah, that's why I do. So what's going on?"
"Nothing much. Just a surprise early birthday present." He holds up two tickets. "I know how much you miss Camp Half-Blood. So I had a talk with Hermes and he gave me tickets for a train ride from here to Long Island, New York." I tackle him with a hug, spilling milk and cereal all over the place, but I don't care.
"I love you so much right now!" I say as we sit up and get back on the window couch. I kiss him. "Thank you!"
"Love you too. And you're welcome. I'm pretty psyched to see Jason and Grover."
"I can't wait to see Piper! Oh, and Juniper! And Calypso! I haven't seen her since we left home!" I catch myself on the word home. I have to remind myself New Rome is my home now. Percy really likes it here, and I don't want him to think I don't want to stay here. I mean, I like it okay, and college is great. It's just not where I grew up.
"Gods of Olympus." Percy breaths.
"What?"
"I just saw you have your first girly squealy moment."
"Your brain is full of Kelp."
"There's the Annabeth we all know and love." He kisses me, and it's a good long one. We leave soon after, walking the streets of New Rome.
"So when are we leaving?" I ask him. He laces his fingers with mine.
"About three weeks. June first."
"Right. June first. Start of the month named for Hera."
"I thought you had made your peace with her."
"It's more like a cease fire." He laughs.
"Okay. So happier thoughts. The Train Hermes got us tickets for, well we're riding first Class. Oh, and Frank and Hazel are coming too! But anyways, we're getting living quarters. 4 beds, bathroom, shower, and it's all in the luxury car. There's a dining car not far from ours that…" He goes on and tells me all about it as we walk the streets of New Rome. We get to the college, too soon if you ask me, and he kisses me goodbye. On my way to class, I still can't shake the feeling something big is about to happen.
Okay That's all for now! I'm going to try to add a new Chapter next week, if I can figure all this out. Go ahead and let me know what you think of this! Thank Y'all so much! I really hope you like this, and please write reviews! If you can think of anything i could do to make it better, let me know! I'm also going to be posting an original story on FictionPress that I'm working on. Same username. I hope y'all will check it out! Thanks!
