Thump.
Something or someone was on the porch.
Olympus forbid that I could talk with Chiron in peace. All I want is a quest, is it that impossible?
I'm just too young.
Luke's quest was a failure.
He won't hear of it.
Something is wrong, and I need to help. I want to help.
But someone someday, will come and I will go back into the world. He's told me before and he tells me again.
The Hermes cabin is pranking again, someone had a nightmare...
I jump up and beat him to the door, flinging it open.
There's a boy, lying on the porch. Shaggy black hair and bright green eyes.
"He's the one. He must be." Suddenly I know it. They think I've said it about every hero who passes the borders, but I can always hope. But this isn't like before.
This is my someone and this is my someday.
"Silence, Annabeth. He's still conscious. Bring him inside."
His eyes shut, and he and his keeper are brought inside. It's Grover. Chiron props him up on the couch and I help him get the half-blood into the sick room.
"Let me take care of him."
"Annabeth,"
"Please!" I glance down at the boy, soaking wet, hair plastered to his face, eyes shut. "Chiron,"
"Fine. You may."
He probably just wants to give me something to take my mind off of pestering him for a quest.
After sitting at his bedside, feeding him liquified ambrosia, he finally opens his eyes.
I start bombarding him with questions
"What's going on? What was stolen?"
He mumbles a reply, the door opens and I fill his mouth with ambrosia. It's only some Hermes kids who probably made Clarisse mad.
I roll my eyes and look back down, but he's sleeping again.
The next day Chiron insists that he's going to be better and that I should leave him to Grover.
I'm nothing but confused about his mutterings in his sleep. Demon math teachers? Food? And he keeps calling for his mother.
Grover says he's a hero, he killed a Minotaur with no training and no weapon.
But, I mean, he drools in his sleep.
Maybe he is the one.
I look back over the hill as we prepare to leave for the quest.
He is the one.
I do not own any of the quotes from LT! please review!
