Hey, this is my first fanfic so don't bash me up too badly! I am a total Rick Riordan geek and love to write! Wish me luck and always review!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Percy or his books or anything else, but Mr. Rick Riordan does!
Annabeth
Could I have gotten any more mad? Or was I just nervous? I mean, I was sweating buckets and cracking my knuckles, and I had been taking it out on my friends and fellow campers for the past few months.
They even had to order a huge amount of new practice dummies so I could "release" my anger on them. Seriously?
What was even weirder was that Clarisse of all people, kept pestering me and comforting me. Sad part is… it was working. I got more relaxed every month. This went on for eight months, and it started when my best friend, Percy Jackson, my boyfriend, disappeared off the face of the earth.
He left me! We were just leaving the campfire and we were taking a walk on the beach when he brought out a little bracelet with green silk and gray pearls, it was beautiful. We kissed and the harpies came and we had to run back to our cabins. He gave me one last kiss and told me he'd see me tomorrow. Then he dashed inside his cabin. Never saw him that next morning. I was going to murder him.
Eight months of worry, I had become Miss Bossy and I would talk of Percy little. The closest person to me…gone. Percy was the only one who could comfort me and actually understood me.
Now it was time, 30 minutes away from landing in Camp Jupiter, where we found out Percy had been switched with another camper, Jason. Camp Jupiter was Roman, as was Jason, and Camp Half-Blood was Greek, as was Percy and…me.
The other reason we were heading to Camp Jupiter was because of the Prophecy of the Seven. It stated that seven half-bloods, Roman and Greek, would go to Greece and Rome and close the doors of death.
We also had to defeat Gaea. Ya, remember Kronos, 10x worse here. Unlucky right? But the only thing on my mind at the moment was …ah…Percy.
What if he didn't remember me? What if he found himself another girlfriend? What if he remembered me, but didn't love me anymore? It HAD been eight months, anything could happen, right?
I stroked my comforter and looked at the pictures I had taped to the wall. They were of all my friends over the past few years.
There was one of all the head counsellors at the ping-pong table laughing about the prank the Stoll twins, Connor and Travis, had made on the Aphrodite cabin. They had replaced all the lipstick with a mixture of glue, bug spray, and something no one wants to know (it smelt bad).
Another was of me and Luke when we were little. I sighed. I missed Luke, but I knew I had to let him go; he was a hero in the end.
But my favorite was of Thalia, Percy, and me at the campfire. I traced Percy with my finger.
His green eyes seemed like a never-ending pit of the sea. His raven black hair swept down over his eyes and was as messy as always. He was hot. His tan skin…oh and his smile. His goofy grin that always made someone's day.
Percy always had a mischievous grin on his face which usually led to something stupid.
"He won't forget, I promise you."
I whirled around, only to find Thalia leaning in the doorway. Her black hair in braids and silver circlet reminded me that she could not like boys, for she was a Hunter, and would not be the best to talk to for boy trouble, that would be Piper's job, daughter of Aphrodite.
"Yep, he better remember too, otherwise I promised to buddy up with Clarisse and the Ares cabin to pummel the kelp head into the right mind," she said.
I stood up and took a shaky breath, "No need for that, Thals, I will be beating him enough for being so stupid." Tears built up in my eyes, "I just miss him so much."
Thalia came over, "Hey hey you don't need to cry, you can't have him see you like that. Besides, you're not the only one who misses him. Grover has been putting on some extra weight from all those tin cans, and Clarisse and her buddies have even stopped teasing most of the kids because they claim it isn't quite fun. Percy had an impact on everyone, me too. He is like a brother to me, he's one of my best friends. Come on, they have a meeting in the conference room."
She stood up and said, "Oh, and Annabeth, I would get cleaned up. Don't want your first impression on the Romans to be like that." And on that note, she turned around and hurried out the door.
Yep, Thalia was worried about me, it's not like I didn't hear all the whispering behind my back. Ugh!
I walked over to my dresser and got changed into my orange camp t-shirt and some blue jean capris. I put my sneakers on and I ran a brush through my hair. Then I walked out the door, not knowing that my reunion wouldn't go exactly as planned.
