Hey Y'all, So I chose the 2c option. I wasn't getting enough votes, so I just chose my favorite plot. Let me ramble for a minute. Gosh, I feel like I don't talk to y'all enough. Anyways, I see so many plots about Annabeth cheating on Percy, but in my opinion, they're too OOC. Annabeth is a DAUGHTER OF ATHENA. She LOVES PERCY. Okay? Okay. She is NOT a heartless cheating little you-know-what. Percy is loyal, yes, but he would NOT commit suicide over it, nor would he forgive her easily. I'm going to try to keep my story real. I'll also try to reply to all reviews from now on. I'm not really getting enough reviews to fuel me into posting chapters. If I just got one same person as a frequent reviewer, I'd post a lot more. Just saying. So on with the prolouge.
PERCY POV
I had just finished teaching the younger campers a basic block, and now that the class wad over, I decided to find Annabeth. Ever since we defeated Gaea, we had been spending more time together. It was impossible for us to leave each other with the horrible dreams Tar- it had left us with. Chiron understood when most nights Annabeth would spend the night in my cabin. We weren't doing anything, of course.
I figured Annabeth would be in her cabin sketching, like she was most of the free time she had. I made my way over to the Athena Cabin, which by the way, didn't hate me anymore. Athena and her children decided we would be best together, especially since we went through it together. When I got to the cabin, she was so busy sketching she didn't notice me. I decided to sneak up on her and surprise her.
I was a few inches from her when suddenly she got up, grabbed my arm, and judo flipped me just like she did in New Rome. She turned around to face me.
"Really, Seaweed Brain? Sneaking up on a daughter of Athena? Not your smartest moment. Then again, what moments are?" I smiled sheepishly.
"I guess. But it was a step further than yesterday when I tried to sneak up on you talking to Malcom." She hummed disbelievingly.
"Mmmhhhmm. Whatever helps you sleep at night." I grinned.
"You do." She blushed.
"Shut up."
This was probably the farthest we'd joked about it, so I guess it was a sign we were getting better. When can anything with Annabeth ever go wrong?
Two Hours/Time Skip
Annabeth and I were just sparring like we did most of the time. It made me feel almost safe. Any normal person would be scared to Hades by- *thunder crashes* sorry Hades!- sparring with real weapons and all against a daughter of Athena, but demigods don't really fit your average definition on normal- or average.
And then, out of the blue, I heard a shout, so of course we had to check it out. I sprinted as fast as I could with Annabeth at my side towards the sound, which came from Thalia's tree. There I saw a dozen campers surrounding what I guessed was a new camper.
He wasn't pale or tan, but in the middle, with what girls would call "perfect features." (Seriously, girls were already whispering about him. Their words, not mine.) He had straight dark hair, exactly like mine, except a little longer, and it probably got into his eyes a lot. (Whoa, where did that thought come from?) He was about 5'9, so about the same height as me.
I'd be positive he was my sibling, if it wasn't for his eyes and aura. They were icy blue, but from a girl's point of view, it would be "hot." (Once again, their words, not mine.) He reminded me of that demigod YouTuber Damon Fizzy, but with blue eyes and black hair, and a bit more built. (Damon Fizzy is a son of Apollo and one of Aphrodite's demigods. Don't ask.)
And his aura.. It wasn't of just the sea. It was like his aura was just... everything. The whole world was his aura. Real poetic of me, but it's true. By now all campers were gathered around him.
All guys were looking at him enviously, and all the guys' girlfriends were just checking him out. Only Annabeth wasn't checking him out. She was staring at him like she did on my first day- checking to see if I was a threat. She must have approved, because she smiled at me, like "Yep, he won't kill us in our sleep."
Okay, so I have to admit, I was sorta jealous. He has all the traits I had to work for, like my physical traits (And I mean MUSCLES, you dirty minds out there.) And he seemed emotionally untouched too, like nothing had ever hurt him before, which is rare for a demigod. And he didn't seem like a jerk, which almost always came with self-confidence. To all the girls he caught staring at him, he gave a warm but not flirty smile.
Then he was claimed, which was pretty early since he just got to camp. The results shocked me. Chiron announced very formally,
"All hail Marco Oliver, Son of Posedion, Earthshaker, and Stormbringer."
Good or bad? Two reviews at least for the next chapter, which will be the first chapter. This was the prolouge. The two reviews can be from the same person, but they have to be at least one sentence long each. Sorry guys, but I just wanna know who actually reads my story.
