Hey!
Pinwheels here. I just wanted to say I'm dying to read the House of Hades and WILL be attempting my own version. After this is finished.
This is just and experiment and my first Percy Jackson fanfic ever!
I hope you find it funny!
And sorry about the cruelty of breaking up
Percabeth. Needed a good story for
You guys!
Attention: Addition on Explanation:
Time Period: A few weeks after the story in the Demigod Diaries,
Explanation: Percabeth has a small fight that escalates. Percy and Annabeth break up leaving them both devastated. Percy goes home and Annabeth hit's the woods to get away from the fighting their break up caused. Then there's a war breaking out between Poseidon and Athena and Percy and Annabeth thinks that's to far. What will happen to Percabeth? Will Athena and Poseidon stop fighting? Where's Aphrodite?
Percy's PoV
As I walked down the beach, away from Annabeth, I realized sometimes the old sayings are true. Other Times they're just what people tell themselves to get over whatever just happen that almost completely destroyed their lives. I'm guessing I'm in the latter. I was really paying attention to where I was going, only my thoughts. I know Camp Half-Blood like the back of my hand and can get out of the woods easily. My thoughts? Not so much. I figured that if Annabeth went back to her cabin with so much as a tear in her eye after being with me ALL of Athena's cabin AND Ares cabin would be out for blood, (Ares because they're always looking for an excuse to beat me up, Athena's because, well, you can probably guess why...), so I guess I get to ask to go home. Yeah! I am gonna leave my favorite place in the wold before I get killed. The story of my life. Then there's another problem. Not getting home but being at home. My mom would see through my brave front and most likely force me to explain. Then the ever present saying of 'It'll be okay' will surface and she'll explain how everything will go back to the way they were and me and Annabeth could get past this. Like Hades!
I don't remember all of the fight, just the ending. Annabeth had told me if I didn't like her 'bossy attitude' to leave. So me, being the stupid seaweed brain I am, did just that. You might be saying that's not so bad but I get the feeling a lot of other things where said and maybe a few involved Luke and other things from the past. I see no way out, do you? I kept walking, not paying attention to what I was doing, and Feeling bad about all the things I must have said. I tried hard to remember but it's just a black screen with hate rolling around inside me... Just a little thing blown up to the size of a billboard...
I didn't stop walking until I heard Grover calling me. "Percy! Hey, man, wait up!" I stopped and looked around realizing I was just inside the tree's. Then Grover caught up with me. "Guess what?"
"What?" I asked, the look on Grover's face was saying this ain't gonna be good.
"I was just at the Big House. Guess who I saw?" Grover didn't give me time to answer. "Annabeth and couple of her brother's. And ALL of Ares cabin. You know why they're there right? Looking for you."
"Why?" I asked, see, told you I was a Seaweed brain! Here, being stupid on purpose...
"Because you broke up with Annabeth and she's head of Athena's cabin and almost everyone's friend and she's crying. Someone was gonna notice. What happened?" Grover asked.
I felt rage filling me again. My vision went red tinted. "Well, not 100% sure but I think there are at least two sides to a fight. And she ended it with me!"
I should be the crying here! I added in my head.
"It doesn't matter. She's got loads of friend's. I'm not saying you don't but she's hasn't got an entire cabin always looking to kill her does she? How are you gonna get outta this." Grover Studied me a second before adding, "You go home. I'll tell Chiron."
"What? No! My mom will send me back to set things right. Or vaporize me for causing this and just you wait till Athena and Poseidon hear about this. Athena will vaporize me before my mom get the chance." I said.
"Or Poseidon won't let her. And besides, your mom will understand and try to help." Grover wasn't gonna take no for and answer, was he?
"Fine, can you ask Blackjack to come find me after you tell Chiron?" When Grover nodded I took off, running for Thalia's tree and then continued down the hill towards New York, towards my mom, away from my favorite place in the world.
Annabeth's Pov
I watched Percy walk away with out looking back. I felt like calling out to him, saying sorry, but this would not help. There were things said about Rachel and other things from the past. I walked back to my cabin, not really see where I was going, my vision a bit blurry. I sat down on my bed and just sat there until two guys, who had been in the other end of the cabin came down, as if to talk.
"Hey, Annabeth. What's up with the crying?" One of the guys asked.
"I'm not crying." I replied stubbornly but I saw myself in the mirror that had been put up in our cabin for some reason and realized I was crying.
The two guys sat on either side of me and the 2nd guy asked, "Why are you crying?"
"We broke up." I whisper softly after a few minutes, my tear's beginning to flow faster. I'd hoped they wouldn't but they did and stood me up by my arms and pulled me to the Big House. On the way there Ares cabin began to follow.
When we got to the Big house the two guys pulled me inside and sat me down in the rec room where we usually had our camp meetings. One sped off to get Chiron while the other one made hot chocolate, my favorite. When he put it in front of me I took a sip and it taste different than usual. It didn't taste like anything. Like cardboard. Was this how Silena had felt after she found out Beckondorf had died?
Then Chiron walked in with the guy who had gone to get him and Grover. Chiron took one look at me then bent down and whispered something to Grover who nodded and sped off somewhere.
"What happened?" Chiron asked me kindly.
"We broke up." I replied, thinking that was obvious, after all guy one had gone to get him about it.
"How?" Chiron asked, still kind but a little demanding.
"A small fight that escalated. Does it matter?" I asked.
"No, not really. I just wanted to see how much damage was done, to see if two of my favorite camper could become at least friends again in the future. Hopefully the near future." Chiron had a look of knowing in his eyes, as if he knew something was coming and they'd need Percy and I to defend camp again.
"I doubt it. Awful things were said. On both sides." I replied and took another sip of the crap-in-a-cup in front of my. Gods, how did I drink this shit before? It's disgusting! And full of memories...
Chiron walked over and knelt down and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back, letting myself believe it would okay. Then I pulled away and wiped the tear's from my face with a tissue and left the Big different strategies for apologizing to Percy running through my mind came to a stretching halt as I walked out the door and saw Ares and Athena's cabin having a screaming match with Hermes cabin. Crap. A war was gonna hit camp hard and it was likely Percy needed to go, least he get killed.
I searched for Grover and saw him running for the woods, so I followed. Once I saw he was headed for the woods I slowed down a bit, to a jog, and By the time I to where he was I had heard Percy raging bout the fight then arguing about going home. I stopping walking just behind Grover, minutes after Percy had left.
"So he's mad at me." I stated more than asked.
"Not mad. Upset but not mad. Just like you, and don't be shaking your head at me. It's true." Grover shook his head. "I think you best find a place to stay, away from camp, for a bit."
"Go where?" I asked.
"Try the woods. I'll bring out some food at dinnertime just find a place to stay and meet me here." Grover said.
I considered the pending war between demigods, all centered around me, and I nodded and booked it for the woods.
Well, I hope you liked it. More
To come. Sorry if the
Annabeth part
Seems rushed
...
I looked back at the door to my bedroom
And found my dog, laying
On the floor
Watching me
Type this up
...
For all you children of Athena out there:
Did you know that a Camel
Spider can jump up
Three feet and
Rip off a
Chunk
Of Flesh
Or that their venom
Numbs their prey? If
You did, good for you, if you
Didn't: Sweet Dreams Tonight 3
