Annabeth
Annabeth was not feeling pretty good, curling up in her bunk with her head under the sheets, something stirring in her stomach and a lump in her throat giving her quite a hard time, she felt like throwing up. Annabeth wasn't sure—not that it happens a lot—if it was sea sick only this was sailing the skies or if it was just because of him.
"Arrrrrgh!"Leo said mimicking a pirate's voice and standing on one leg covering his left eye with the palm of his hand "I see land."
"Leo, Stop playing around and help us!" Piper snapped.
Annabeth stood up slowly making her way to the upper-deck of the Argo II; she was greeted by slightly cold wind brushing against her cheek with her body easing a little "Any new Intel?"
"Aye aye, we found them!" Leo said Piper shooting daggers at him "I mean…minutes and we'll be there." he cleared his throat.
The upper-deck was so quiet; Leo was the only one with a grin on his face, even thought Annabeth knew he was hiding fear behind that smile of his, Jason seemed anxious yet disturbed; Piper didn't look any better too.
When the Argo II started landing Annabeth saw a bowl-shaped valley shimmering between the clouds surrounded by small hills and a stretches of forest, there was a lake with a clear river cutting through the valley, like a capital G.
As they got closer, it became clear that it was kind of a camp dotted with various buildings from what looked like national monuments to what was similar to a fancy coliseum gleaming in the sun.
But what really caught Annabeth's attention was the huge army of demigods she supposed, Romans. They were armed with heavy armors and helmets, their weapons shaped from small daggers to a long spear ready to skewer someone in the chest. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Well, at least they didn't attack us…yet" Piper's voice failed her at he end.
"WE COME IN PEA—"
"Don't." Annabeth interrupted Leo "They could easily mishear it for we come to pierce."
When Argo II came to a full stop at the lake near to what looked like a house, Annabeth buckled out of the edge her mind racing like crazy what if he doesn't remember?…what if he changed?…and worst of all, what if he already had a girlfriend?
Annabeth's hands started shaking; her heart slowly sank deeper and deeper when she thought more, then her knees turned into jelly she would've fallen down if Piper hadn't caught her.
"Don't worry about it." Piper said "I heard a lot about you two, he'll remember Annabeth."
"It's just-I…I don't—"
"Here, I'll be at your side when we go down there." Piper held Annabeth by the hand and gave her a comforting smile.
They stood in front of the door as it slowly cracked open light escaping from the sides as it did, Annabeth held her breath and closed her eye. A firm strong hand was placed over her shoulder making Annabeth turn in search for the owner "Clarisse?"
"If that prissy forgot, I'll jog his memory with my own fist!" Clarisse said. "Besides, He definitely has to remember soaking me in toilet water when it's payback time."
Even though Annabeth was pretty torn up, she couldn't help but to smile "Thanks, both of you it really means a lot to me."
A moment before the door reached the ground, everyone straightened up in preparation in case of what lies ahead.
"OK folks, Here we go." Leo announced.
