I stand in front of the ocean, letting my dark hair wave in the wind as my icy blue eyes search the waves.
I live in Manhattan, and I like to visit Long Island. I'm with my best friend Piper for my birthday.
Piper walks up to me, her brown eyes searching mine. She has her brown hair in a loose bun, which is unnatural for her. She usually leaves it short and choppy, not wanting to attract attention.
Piper knows she's beautiful. She just doesn't like it.
"Whatcha looking at?" She asks.
"I...I don't know." I lied.
Piper wouldn't understand. She would think I was crazy.
"Well, happy 18th birthday!" Piper tells me. I nod.
Piper goes to the ice cream shop across the street to get us some ice cream.
The truth is, I'm a die hard fangirl for Percy Jackson.
I know it seems crazy, but...demigods don't seem that fictional.
What if he's real?
Suddenly, a hand covers my eyes.
I start to scream, but a sword point is pressed against my back and I shut up.
I feel it press harder.
"Wait." I have a suspicion.
"What?" Says my captor. He's male.
"Can I have three guesses of who you are before you kill me?"
The man snorted. "Fine. You don't even know me."
I smiled. "We'll see."
"Ok." I took a deep breath.
"Fitz Vacker."
"Who the heck is that?"
"Harry Potter."
"You're crazy."
"You'd be surprised."
I took another deep breath. Let's pray he doesn't stab me.
"Percy Jackson."
In a split second I crashed into the water, choking and flailing in the mud.
When I can up again, Percy was breathing heavily and watching me closely with his gorgeous sea-green eyes.
I glared at him. "Come on,"
I shoved him into the beach, and he looked around and grinned at me.
"Don't you want me to get wet like you did?" He said slyly.
I snorted. "Clearly you don't know me, Water Boy."
He gasped and gaped at me.
I rolled my eyes.
Suddenly, his hand flew up and there was a sharp pain in my cheek.
He slapped me!
I tried to remain calm. "Percy, why are you here?"
Percy hesitated. Then he sighed.
"Look," he said. "I just got to camp, and I went up to the Oracle and she opened her mouth and a bunch of green stuff came out, but the green stuff swirled around me and I appeared here. I'm assuming you understood that. You...you have that..."
He pointed to me arm.
I glanced at my new tattoo. I had gotten it this morning.
It was a Posidan trident, with the words 'One steady drop in a sea of chaos.' (A/N: KOTLC quote, peeps?)
"Oh, yeah. I-"
At that moment, Piper came back with ice cream. When she saw me and Percy, she nearly dropped the cones.
"Percy!"
"Wait." I said completely baffled. "Your in this to?"
"In what?" Piper asked.
"Waaaaaiiit." I said.
"Piper McLean." I said, pointing at my best friend.
"Yes," she said, shifting uncomfortably.
"Is. the. Piper. McLean."
"What does that mean?"
I squealed and hugged her tight. "That is so cool!"
"Hold up." Piper said, pushing me off.
"How-what-how do you know about me and-and-demigod stuff?" Percy demanded.
Piper gasped. "She knows?"
"Piper McLean." I said, still in shock.
"What is going on?" Percy asked.
I took a deep breath.
"Look, if I told you, you would freak out. Let's just say I know everything about you and your friends."
"Well," Piper hesitated. "Let me quiz you."
"Um...okay."
"Who's Percy's girlfriend?"
"Annabeth Chase."
"Who's my boyfriend?"
I hesitated. "That depends. What was going on before you came here, Percy?"
"I just finished the war with Kronos."
"Oh no." I said. I looked up at the sky. "Hera, don't you-"
To late.
BAM.
Percy looks dazed, and he falls into my arms and his eyes go blank.
OH MY GODS PERCY JACKSON JUST FAINTED IN MY ARMS!
I watch helplessly as he twinkles away into nothingness.
"YOU KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN AND YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?!" Piper screamed.
"I-I-can't." I say through tears. "I can't get in the way of fate."
