A Change Of Heart, Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Chapter 1
A/N: So, almost everyone voted on a Percy/Annabeth fic and if possible adding Thalia/Luke there too. oookay, i decided i waited
long enough, and i was getting to excited to wait anymore. So, i tried to do my best. tell me what you think. and i always need
ideas!! um...i'm thinking of doing at least a 15 chapter story. um...if no more things are to be said, on with the story!

I didn't actually remember falling asleep in the car. All I faintly remember was that I was with Grover, Annabeth, and my mom, going to
meet Thalia at Camp Half-Blood. I guess I've been worrying too much about likely being killed by monsters. See, I'm a half-blood,
meaning my dad was a god, Poseidon to be precise. Annabeth and Thalia are one too, while my friend Grover was a satyr. Meaning that
he's half human, half goat.

Anyway, all I remember was sitting in the car impatiently while my mom rambled on about when I met my first monster. She sounded
so proud! Me, I wished it nevered happened. Trust me, that happened when I was really really young. I guess I did fall asleep, because
the next thing I knew, I was in a dark room with lots of long shadows. It had a creepy touch to it, like many people were actually killed
there.
999
A further and closer glance around the room led me to believe that it was really the stateroom of Luke's ship, Princess Andromeda. It l
ooked the same as the last time I saw it, huge windows, a Persian rug, plush sofas, a canopied bed, a mahogany dining table, and of
course, the golden casket with Ancient Greek scenes of destuction and terriozing. Thalia believed that Kronos's remains were in that
golden casket. Me? I'd rather not think about it.
999
Monsters were crowded all around the room, all bowing to the casket, and Luke, who was standing next to it, his 2 blade sword
glinting wickedly in the little rays of incoming sunlight looking proud at his overgrowned army. His skin had become even more paler,
which I'd thought that was never possible. Of course, I was wrong. His scar seemed to be deeper in his face, his eyes had long lost their
welcoming, gentle, and sparkle to them as I had first met him at camp.
999
As I stood watching, Luke began to speak. His voice had become deeper, much deeper, as if belonging to someone else. It seemed so
familiar, yet I couldn't put my finger to it at that moment. Also, Luke's voice seemed to be fuzzy; I should say unclear. I only caught
phrases of words, such as "need to get, not long now, all according to plan, and under my control." Even though I didn't have any clue
what Luke was mumbling about, I had a feeling that it wasn't something pleasant to me.
999
Then, as I continued to watch, something very strange began to take place. As Luke started talking again, well kind of buzzing in my
case, his body became…well, like stone. All of a sudden, a thing like a holagram being projected came in front of the stony Luke. I swore
he was staring straight at me, even though I knew I couldn't be seen.
999
Then, the hologram Luke spoke. Its voice was Luke's old one. The same as I had met him 4 years ago. He screamed, "Hurry, Go!" as
if to me, faded, and died out. Finally, Luke became un-stoned. He rubbed his eyes as if he were sleepy. He looked around the room, and
started talking again, as if someone had rewound him.
999
I woke up with a start. I looked and saw my mom still babbling about how cute I looked when I was two and how she wanted to dress
me up in a dress cause she thought it would make me cuter. Boy, I could've died right there and then. Grover was nodding at my mom,
like he was actually paying attention to her story! But then, he was so concentrated on tearing apart and eating empty Coke cans.
Annabeth was looking at me, with a worried look in her eyes. While my mom was still talking loudly, she leaned over and whispered,
"You okay? Your face is all red." Ok, confession. I was not okay, but my face was red for another reason. I mean, Annabeth was so
close to me, how could she be so calm? Of course, I had to say something. I shook my head, and whispered back, "I'll tell you at camp"
into her ear. Now she was the one who was blushing. Hey, did she just caught on?
999
About an eturnaty later, we arrived at the Big House. My mom dropped us off, gave us each a hug, and drove off. We truged up the
hill, and passed the camp's magical border. Thalia was waiting for us, in front of my cabin. Since Tyson was gone, no one else went there
except for me. "Hey!" Thalia said. On a further notice, she seemed happy on the outside, but her eyes were another case. They were
serious, like in the middle of a big battle. A very serious battle.
999
Our greetings were kept short, since we could tell that Thalia was itching to tell us something. As we fell into silence, Thalia said, "Let's
go into your cabin, Percy. It'll be more privite there." So, I opened the door to cabin three, a cabin with outer walls of gray stone,
covered with seashell pieces, and coral, and the ocean waves. The cabin of Poseidon, my dad.
999
Thalia herded us across the room next to my bed. She shut the door and folded her arms. "We need to talk." She simply stated. I sat
down on my bed next to Grover and Annabeth. "About what?" Thalia replied. "Did you guys start having weird dreams lately? Dreams
you couldn't remember when you woke up even if you tried your hardest?" We all agreed that we had dreamt in our sleep. Annabeth
couldn't give much detail……if I had to guess, it had something to do with driving her father's war airplane and building the next famous
vacation monument. Grover said that he remembered all his dreams clearly. "I am a satyr after all." He said.
999
"So, what was the dream about?" Thalia said impatiently. Grover cleared his voice. "I was wondering in this thick green forest, when I
spotted this most amazing reed pipe! Anything I played on it sounded perfect!" Thalia just rolled her eyes while Annabeth and I burst out
laughing.
999
"Ugh" Thalia groaned. "No! I mean important dreams, like links." I remembered the dream I had in the car. "Well…" I started. "I did
have a dream." And I proceeded to tell them, but I kind of stopped at the part where Luke became stoned. "Go on." Annabeth
encouraged. "Umm…..I forgot." "WHAT?!" Annabeth screamed. "Quiet." Thalia ordered her. She nodded to me. "I had a dream like
that too, except it wasn't in the ship. It was in the Underworld, near the entrance to Tartarus, Kronos's place. Luke was there again,
talking with Kronos's voice. And then……Luke became rigid too, like stone. But……I forgot what happened next. Like you Percy."
"Whoa!" Grover said suddenly. "What?" we all asked him. "I just found that you have a stack of empty Coke cans under your bed!
You could've told me earlier!" He started to tackle the tin cans with his mouth. They were gone in 30 seconds straight. I felt sorry for the
cans.
999
"Grover, stop kidding around!" Annabeth said. "This is serious." Thalia added. "Something's going on; we can't all have the same
dreams!" After a second's pause she added, "Well, just Percy and me. I mean, Grover, you and Annabeth had pretty ordinary dreams." I
understood her point. Building a famous monument and playing reed pipes in the forest didn't even come close to my dream. And I bet
that it wasn't even that frightening.
999
"Well, whatever the dreams mean, don't figure it out now." Annabeth said. "Why not?" Thalia asked. "Because, we were in the car for
3 hours!! 3 long fricking hours!" "And…?" Thalia was not getting her point, but I was, and by the looks of things, so were Grover. "I'M
HUNGRY!" the three of us stated at the same time. Thalia nodded understanding, but then turned to look at Grover. "Hey, goat-boy.
How can you be still hungry?" "Huh?" Grover looked confused. "What did I eat?" Annabeth pointed in the direction of my bed. "Huh?"
Grover continued to look confused. Sometimes, I wondered how my friend could be so slow at times. Annabeth sighed, and walked over
to my bed. She lifted the covers and pointed under the bed. "Come on," Grover wined finally catching on to what Annabeth was talking
about. "That was just a snack." Annabeth sighed and said, "Let's go get something to eat. It must be about time for dinner anyways."
999
As we headed out of the cabin, I looked up at the already darkening sky. To me, it looked just like the Princess Andromeda.
