Ok. So in this story the war has just ended between Kronos and the gods. Or has it? Annabeth and Percy haven't kissed yet but they have feelings for each other that they don't know. Well that's all I'm going to tell you right now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the
Olympians… dang it.=D
It was evening at camp and the fire had almost died out from the sing along. I thought I was alone when Annabeth came up behind me.
"Hey Seaweed Brain. What you thinking about?"
"Nothing. I just can't believe it's over. The war I mean." Her face grew grim. " I know. It feels like something is going to happen. Something bad." Her words didn't really cheer me up. " I'm sure it's nothing." I said before I got to creeped out.
It was quiet for a moment but then there was a yell on the top of the hill. Annabeth and I looked at each other. I took out my pen and uncapped it. It grew into a long celestial bronze sword Riptide. Annabeth took out her knife and we sprinted towards the hill.
There was a huge crowd of campers with their weapons surrounding the hill. I moved to the front of the crowd to see what they were surrounding, but what I saw was far worse than any monster I've ever faced. It was Luke.
Every one was quiet and tense. Luke had been the Titan lord Kronos until about a week ago. I thought we had killed him or rather he had killed himself and sent Kronos back to Tarturus. I guess we didn't.
Chiron galloped to the front of the crowd and looked at Luke.
"Luke why are you here?" he asked surprised.
"I wanted to come back to camp." He said. As if we would just let him in our camp with open arms. Yeah, come on in, we completely trust you after you betrayed us and killed a lot of our camp members. Please.
"Luke that decision isn't up to me. I don't know if we should trust you when there is a good chance that you could betray us again. You need to ask forgiveness from the gods and they can council on weather to trust you or… well you know the other choice."
"Um Chiron" Annabeth cut in, "The gods are away. Remember?"
Oh yeah, the gods have gone to go and try to get the minor gods back on our side incase there is another war. Now that they have thrones and cabins they should come back to the right side.
"Oh, that's right. Well… ok Luke you can come into camp because I wouldn't want you to get hurt but you will have a cabin right next to the Big House and you will be alone in the cabin. You will participate in camp activities but if we are doing something that could give us the upside in the next war you will not participate."
"Ok, I guess that's fair." Luke said a bit glumly.
We let Luke enter watching him walk to the extra cabin and shut the door. After a few minuets camp went back to the way it was… well almost. There was a tension in the air. Every one would be on their guard while Luke was here before the council.
I went and sat back down in the pavilion. Annabeth was sitting a few tables away. She had her thinking look on. I walked over. "What are you thinking about?"
"Luke." Luke I hate him why did she like him? He was a traitor. "What about Luke?"
"When he was on the hill and Chiron was talking when Chiron said some things Luke would get this mischievous look in his eye but it went away as quickly as it appeared. It confused me. It happened so fast I wasn't even sure I saw it, but then I saw it again. I'm just thinking about what it means."
"Come on Wise Girl, you think to much. Come on, let's take a walk."
"Ok"
We went down to the beach. The water glinted with the light of the sun setting. I looked at Annabeth. She was beautiful. Her blonde curls glinting in the sunlight, her stormy gray eyes staring into the sea. I walked to the water. " Are you coming or not?"
"Where are you going?" She asked surprised.
"We are going on a walk remember."
"Well at least let me get my bathing suit."
"I'll make sure you don't get wet. I promise."
"Ok." She walked over to the waters edge and I pulled her in focusing on the water keeping my promise. I made an air bubble around us making sure that Annabeth had air.
I noticed the water was kind of empty with a fish every so often so I called a bunch of fish and other sea creatures. Annabeth gasped. She was so beautiful. She turned to me.
"Did you do that?" she asked.
"Yes."
"They're beautiful."
"Yeah they really are." I said not taking my eyes off of Annabeth.
I felt a surge of emotion. I felt the urge to kiss her. I had to tell her how I felt. I stared into her stormy gray eyes and she stared back into my green eyes. I slowly leaned in and closed my eyes. Finally my lips touched hers. The way her lips molded to mine was natural. It was like we were made for each other. I really needed to breath so I pulled back and looked at her. " Annabeth. I… I love you.
She stared at me for an immeasurable moment.
" I'm sorry?" she said like she hadn't heard me.
"No, I'm sorry. I know you love Luke and I shouldn't have kissed you. I started to walk again but she stopped me.
"Wait, hold on a second. First of all I don't love Luke that way. He was just a big brother to me. Second, you shouldn't be sorry for anything. I'm glad you kissed me Seaweed Brain. And Lastly, I love you to." Then she leaned in and pulled my lips to hers. We pulled back again needing air but we were both smiling. I brought us up to the shore and sure enough she was totally dry. We sat down and Annabeth put her head on my shoulder. We sat on the beach for a while.
When I got tired I got up and picked up Annabeth, while sleeping, and carried her to her cabin. Her siblings were astonished when I walked in their cabin door with Annabeth in my arms. Her sisters giggled with joy as I set her down on her bed. She was peaceful when she slept.
I walked out of her cabin and jogged to mine. I was asleep as soon as I was in the bed, but instead of nightmares I dreamed about my day with Annabeth.
