Last chapter I forgot to put an author's note up here, so I'm making up for it. My brother and I have been working on this story forever and we just need to type up what we already wrote down like a few months ago. So I'm sorry if this Chapter was a little slow to be put up but I got school too and sports. I'm deciding if I should name the chapters but I'm brainless right now, its midnight here so ughh. Lol HERE I GOOO! xD -ohnoDK
Chapter 2
I was standing at the front of the dining pavilion as all of my friends and fellow half bloods were bellowing my name. Even the Ares cabin stood up and cheered. Ares is the God of war and let's just say he didn't like me that much. As my name was being chanted I waved my hand at Annabeth to come stand up here with me. She blushed and her cabin mates, who were also sons or daughters of Athena, pushed her to the front by me. The camp began to cheer for her too.
I felt relieved that the rest of Athena's cabin didn't know what was going on with me and Athena; I silently prayed there would be no war.
Chiron, the activity director walked to the front of the table. Well I shouldn't say walked, more like galloped. Chiron is a Centaur, part human, part horse.
"The Camp is saved! Olympus is saved! Now we must celebrate and give thanks to the heroes that accomplished these mighty feats. Let them be recognized." Chiron spoke proudly.
As he finished speaking my friends from every cabin came to congratulate Annabeth and me. The first people to reach us were the Stoll brothers, Connor and Travis who were both sons of the messenger God Hermes.
Travis spoke first, "Well Congrats Percy, you too Annabeth." He smiled at both of us. "Yeah, yeah I'm sure I could have saved Olympus too." Connor blurted out.
"Yeah, only once you learn to tie your shoe so you don't trip every 5 seconds." Travis murmured.
They looked at each other and at the same time tackled each other away from us. We just looked at each other and roared with laughter. (Had 3 each other's in one sentence!)
The rest of the night went on as normal as Camp Half Blood can ever be. Everywhere I walked passed people who all said "Congrats", or "nice job". It was fun t be complimented everywhere you went.
Around midnight when all the campers had fallen asleep I lay awake in my bed staring at the ceiling blankly and listening to Tyson snore. Tyson is my half brother and a very young Cyclops. I thought of the many adventures he had helped me through. My heart swelled with pride. Now he was helping build more cabins at camp for the minor gods and Hades. Originally there had only been 12 cabins for the 12 gods up in Olympus but my request had it changed. I wanted all the gods to be recognized.
I was feeling pretty proud of myself when I heard a knock on the door and a voice hiss, "Percy are you awake?" I instantly realized it was Annabeths voice.
I hopped out of bed and silently opened the door. "Annabeth?" I said dreamily. "Yeah seaweed brain, it's me." She nervously looked away and scanned the area like she thought she was being watched.
"Well are you just going to stand there? Let's take a midnight stroll!" I looked at my feet, "Oh, uhh… yeah hang on." I walked back into my cabin and grabbed my coat because it wasn't exactly Florida here. I walked through the door and once I had carefully shut it Annabeth quickly grabbed my hand. We walked silently, hand in hand all the way to our favorite spot on the Lake. She sat down on the sand and I followed her lead. I put my arm around her and she put her head on my shoulder. I looked at her and marveled at her beauty. She wore a white tank top, faded and ripped blue jeans, and her gladiator sandals. Her eyes were a stormy gray color. Her hair was curly and had a nice shade of blonde. She was thankfully shorter than me but I don't know if that would help me in a fight with her. She had turned into a beautiful, young women and I couldn't keep my eyes off her.
She finally noticed me staring at her. "What?" I hesitated, "Your just so…beautiful Annabeth." She blushed and I can never get over how cute she looks when her cheeks turn pink.
"Thank you, but you know your pretty handsome yourself seaweed brain." Annabeth whispered. Now it was my turn to blush and she smiled at me. Suddenly I had a thought.
"Annabeth?" I asked. "Yes, Percy?" As she finished saying that she moved and sat on my lap. Which I thought was amazing.
"When did you realize that you had feelings for me?" I asked. She looked at me and laughed. "As soon as I met you." She responded. "Really? Wow." I said back, being of course shocked and blown out of my pants.
"Well yeah, I could tell by looking at you that you were destined to be something great. It also helped that you had blue eyes and was really attractive, even at 12!"
She stared right at me and I will never believe that someone with such a pretty face could actually like me.
I laughed, "Well I won't lie even when you found me and I was half dead, that I will always remember the first time I saw you. You hit me as a pretty girl."
"Oh why is that?" She asked innocently. She just wanted me to tell her how great she was. HA! Good try though.
"Well, I said I don't know if it had to do with anything with you but I just like blonde hair." She gave me her angry look but then smiled and I could tell that I made her happy.
"I love you." Annabeth whispered to me. I cupped my hands around her face. "I love you too." Then I leaned down and kissed her so softly I felt as if I was kissing heaven. This kiss was by far the best one we had between us. As I leaned back away a voice said behind us, "So this is what you have chosen to do Percy Jackson."
I froze, it was Athena. I stood up to face her, "Please just leave us alone, I promise not to harm your daughter." Athena didn't look to sure.
"Percy, you will pay for what you have done." She somehow was right in front of me and the next thing I knew was that I was flying towards the Lake and my face was broken. I landed with a hard splash in the water and my body instantly felt stronger. My face healed back from Athena's punch but as I was about to swim back to shore I noticed my father silently floating beside me.
His eyes were a fiery green and he had his trident in his right hand. With that he rode a wave to the shore and I could hear him yelling at Athena.
"I told you not to interfere with fate Athena and now on the morrow' there will be a war. Be ready my dear."
He vanished but not before he sent a twenty foot wave at Athena and she was tossed into the sea. I then swam to shore and found Annabeth surrounded by the other campers. Crap, I didn't want them to know. They must have heard the fight, so I ran over to Annabeth.
"Annabeth are you alright?" She looked heart broken. Her blonde, curly hair was a wreck. She looked like she witnessed a death, well maybe she did to my dignity.
"Yeah I'm alright." She said although I didn't believe one single word. Then she did one thing I didn't expect her to do in front of everyone. She jumped into my arms and kissed me. "It's time to tell the truth," she said as she pulled away.
"Alright." Was all I could manage to spit out. Everyone had there eyes on me and to break the tension Clarisse a daughter of Ares spoke. "Well Punk what's going on with you and Ms. Sweet Cheeks?"
I looked at her then out at the seas wondering what my father was doing then I said, "yes on me and to break the tension Clarisse a daughter of Ares spoke. "Well Punk what's going on with you and Ms. Sweet Cheeks?"
I looked at her then out at the seas wondering what my father was doing then I said, "There's kind of a dispute between Poseidon and Athena, and it's about Annabeth and I."
I heard people murmur in the crowd. "What dispute?" "What's going on?" Then I heard Chiron speak.
"Percy perhaps you could make this a little more clearer for us." The crowd was nodding all around me. I looked at Annabeth and I knew I had to tell them.
"Okay, well as you can see me and Annabeth are in love. During the council on Olympus I denied becoming a god," I heard gasps in the crowd, "and Athena pulled me aside and asked why. I told her I loved her daughter and she became furious. She was about to kill me but Annabeth came running into the room. My dad was with her also. My dad said that if she attacked me again it would mean war. Annabeth and I were here walking when she came up to me and punched me into the Lake. My dad came up and declared war against her and sent her into the sea."
I took a deep breath afterwards. The campers were dead silent. No one dared to talk or even say a word. Then all hell broke loose. People started ranting about how dumb Athena was or how stupid Poseidon was.
"SILENCE!" Mr. D the camp director came forward. "I hear Ms. Annabell and Peter Johnson have a problem. Humph well I hate being a nice guy but our best bet to end the war is to kill Peter. Ha Ha just kidding, I move for a plan that backs whatever Peter and Annabell decide." The crowd seemed to agree.
"So Percy Jackson, what will you do to end this?"
Okaayyy whew, that took forever. We had a riot at my school last night and I was caught in the middle of it. Friday night football games are awesome but our student section can get a little rowdy. Lol So I decided to finish this chapter than stay up with the boys to play Black Ops(Call of Duty). So I'm out and off to bed. Goodnight ladies and gentlemen. Praise Percy Jackson anyone?
