After a long time, I was almost over Annabeth… she had died, and I had to get over her.

Almost impossible, my friend Grover always told me, almost…

Percy's POV

After a long time (about 4 years later) I was finally almost over Annabeth, her name barely past through my mind, and, as Grover had told me, it was about time that I started dating someone.

"I mean it Percy; it is unnatural that a 20 year old guy is single!" Grover told me while we were walking through the field on our way to Thalia's tree. "I mean, you're not as handsome as me, but you're not ugly" he said, smiling for himself

"Yeah, Grover, handsome is not a word that I would completely use to describe you" I said trying really hard to not to laugh "well, maybe, just not… completely" I said looking at his hooves and finally laughing really loud.

"Ha-ha, yeah, go on... laugh of my handsomeness" he said acting as if he was offended

"Ha-ha sure, ok… whatever" I said looking for the new demigods "Shouldn't they be here?"

"I don't know, maybe they're just late" Grover told me and then walked away, leaving me alone

Then out of nowhere, someone jumped out of the trees and threw me to the ground, holding my arms behind my back "Who are you?" a female voice said pushing my head to the ground "Who are you, answer me!" she yelled pushing even harder my head to the ground

"It's me!" I answer not even knowing why I answered that and fighting to stand up

"No shit Sherlock" she said with irony on her voice

"I'm sorry!" I said afraid "I am Percy, Percy Jackson!" I yelled, still trying to stand up

"Percy who?" she said letting me go, giving me a chance to stand up and uncapped riptide.

"Now, tell me who you are" I said pointing her throat with my sword

She raised her hands, slowly walking backwards, I didn't even notice how she looked, her red hair was up in a messy pony tail letting me see her green eyes and she was wearing some torn jeans and a sweatshirt "I… I am… Katherine. I… I'm lost, I… I was supposed to find someone here" she said "Are you that someone?" she said slowly looking into my eyes

"Hey, Percy! Here they are! Percy" I heard Grover yelling at me behind some bushes

"Follow me" I said walking and putting riptide back to my pocket
