Hey everyone! This is my first story, ever so if it's really bad, please don't hate! I will try to be clean on the grammar and stuff like that. Thanks for reading! I hope you like it. I am going to start with Annabeth's point of view but I am going to switch around. I have been itching to write this since I finished the Son of Neptune. Sorry if it's cheesy:)
I ANNABETH
"WE ARE LANDING IN A HALF HOUR EVERYONE!" Leo screams across the deck of the Argo II. We had been traveling for two days to the Roman camp. I lean on the railing looking out across the area near San Francisco. It looks beautiful, just like I remember. I hadn't seen my dad for a while. After the Titan war had ended and I became the architect of Olympus and Percy disappeared, I had no time to travel back. There is no point in stopping by because we are so close, but I wish we could. Jason and Piper were standing on the other side of the deck talking. Leo was in the front driving the ship. Clarisse was in back, probably sharpening her spear. The two Stoll brothers and Katie Gardner were somewhere around, probably flirting like they always do. Everyone was just hanging around. They didn't even seem to care that we were only a half an hour away from Percy.
How I have missed him. I can't believe that Hera would be so cruel as to continually leave me little "gifts" from cows lying around and to take away Percy. It was just mean. He has been gone eight months. Eight freaking months! Percy and Jason switched places as leaders of Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood so the two camps would join forces against Gaea. If we didn't, all of us were toast. But, he disappeared eight months ago and while his mom and I were freaking scared out of our minds, he was sleeping. Then he went to Lupa, the Roman version of Chiron, and then he went to Camp Jupiter. And then he went on a quest and he and two friends killed a giant. And then he killed another giant during a battle at Camp Jupiter. He always gets himself into every danger possible. And that is why I love him.
There is only twenty minutes until we land. Twenty minutes until I see him again. What if he doesn't remember me? What if he found himself another girlfriend? What if he got over me? What if he doesn't love me anymore? The thoughts run through my head and I start to go into worry wart mode. Piper can always tell when I do this. "Annabeth, he will remember you! Stop worrying!" "Annabeth, seriously Prissy will remember you. Now stop worrying, it's annoying me," Clarisse always did have a calming effect with words while she is sharpening her spear. No matter how many times they tell me to stop worrying, I just worry more. "TEN MINUTES!" Leo screams yet again, reminding me that I am just that much closer to seeing him, finding him after all my searching and sleepless nights. Everyone is bustling around, trying to find stuff they lost on the 2 day trip.
I lean back on the railing again, but this time, I see the coolest thing. It's a city! A beautiful Roman style city in the middle of what seems to be Camp Jupiter. In the center square, a crowd is gathering. It's full of demigods, both young and old? Am I hallucinating again? I can see families coming towards the group. There are elderly couples, couples in their twenties and college-age kids. And there's also the whole Roman Legion. Wow.This is socool. The whole square is full of people. A lot of them are dressed in Roman style togas. But why? As we get closer to landing, I scan the crowd for him. His dark, shaggy hair and sea green eyes are unmistakable, but I can't seem to find them. I see a girl in the most ridiculous outfit ever, a toga and a purple sheet, but she can pull it off that's how pretty she is. And then I see a little to her left, another person in the same outfit. Before I get a better look, we land with a loud THUMP. Jason rounds everyone up and Jason and I lead everyone down the stairs and into the square. Piper and Leo are behind us along with the heads of each cabin and a few extra kids. The girl in the toga speaks, "Welcome, Greeks, to Camp Jupiter. My fellow Praetor has commanded us not to attack. We hope we don't have to." I look over to see who the other "Praetor" is and I get lost in his eyes. His perfect sea green eyes have always had that effect on me. I break my trance and he says, "Hey Annabeth." I run towards him and tackle him to the ground. And then I start to punch him with every word I shriek, "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME PERCY? YOU WERE GONE FOR EIGHT MONTHS! EIGHT MONTHS I HAD NO IDEA WHERE YOU WERE! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?" "I'm so sorry Annabeth. I'm so sorry. I missed you so much." I smash my lips to his with every fiber in my body going haywire. I melt into him. His lips taste just the same, salty but sweet. He breaks the kiss. "I love you." "I love you too, Seaweed Brain. But don't you ever do that to me again." "I'll try."
