As for the first chapter, forgive me for how I've destroyed english ! :)
I still do not owe Percy Jackson's series.
Chapter two :
Stories during the feast.
Reyna decided to organize the feast in the Forum. Octavian tried to argue with her but he was alone against her and Percy. It was clear that he hated Greek's presence and he wanted to prompt a conflict with them. Besides, Jason's return didn't enthusiasm him at all. He was still thinking that he has his chance to become praetor even if as long as Percy will live, he would never let that happen.
Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto, came to him and hugged him. She knew that he was expecting for Annabeth and she could easily imagine how disappointed he should be because of her absence. "I'm fine." he whispered. "Of course." She said with an ironic tone. Percy looked at her, surprised. Hazel is never ironic. They sat next to each other and then Frank Zhang, Hazel's boyfriend and the son of Mars, joined them. Hazel took his hand with a smile and Percy felt a heartache growing up inside of him. He should be doing that with Annabeth.
Piper, Reyna, Leo, Jason and Octavian completed the group around the table. Percy didn't have any appetite so he decided just to pay attention to Jason's story. He told them how he joined Camp Half-blood, without his memories, and how Piper, Leo and himself went into a quest to save Hera. Octavian didn't believe him first but thanks to one cold stare from the son of Jupiter he finally shut up. After that, Percy began his own story. He talked about the journey to Alaska, how Hazel, Frank and him have freed Thanatos, death's god. He mentioned that they had defeated two giants and he could see respect in Jason's eyes. Percy was also impressed by what he has accomplished all alone, without any memories. He, Percy, could at least remembered Annabeth. At the beginning, Jason had nothing left of who he was. But it was obvious that now he had Piper and Percy felt sorry for Reyna. He could not imagine how he would feel if Annabeth had dated someone else when he was gone.
Reyna clears her throat and said "We should talk about the Prophecy of the Seven. Gaia is almost awaken, we have to do something." Percy agreed with her but he has an objection. "You're right Reyna but we've got a problem. I'm maybe not a genius in math but Piper, Hazel, Leo, Frank, Jason and me, it gives us six, not seven."
"Yeah about that..." Began Piper carefully. "Uh! Now we are telling him?" Asked Jason. She glared at him and faced to Percy.
"I bet you want to know where Annabeth is". The son of Poseidon nodded. Actually, he didn't want to know. He desired to know for his own safety.
"You can say things that way."
Piper grinned and began her story. Leo suddenly became more preoccupy by his plate. "It was a bright day at the beginning of may. We were absolutely not expecting for what will happen... Annabeth and Leo were working on the Argo II when suddenly the earth began shaking and crumbling around all of us. It was a big mess. Chiron was totally destabilized and he was not alone. All the campers were screaming and running away. Annabeth and Leo wanted to protect the Argo II..."
"I should have watched after her instead." Grumbled Leo.
"Dude, it was not your mistake". Said Jason, trying to be kind.
"Boys, may I continue without being interrupted?" None of us answered. They knew it was hard for her to tell that story. "Then a big tentacle has grown up you know as if it was Gaia's arm. It has taken Annabeth and thrown her in the ocean. She has been swallowed by an awful orange portal and we don't know where she is. Jason tried to save her but... He couldn't do anything without hurting her." Percy felt like his brain was melting inside of his head. Annabeth was gone? Gone in an unknown place?
"Gods... No." What could he say? Annabeth and him deserved to be happy together but why did the destiny continue to make their lives a misery?
"Gaia mentioned a quest that Annabeth had to accomplish and she obviously didn't want her to be successful." Added Jason. "That's why she has taken her."
"But where?" Asked Percy.
"We don't know. We try to look for her... Even Rachel, the Oracle, can't see where she is."
"Not helping" muttered Piper.
"Let me sum up!" Said Octavian. "This Annabeth has disappeared, taken by Gaia and we don't have an idea of where she is. Now, I've got a question. How do you know that she is one of the seven? And more important how do you know that you are part of the seven?"
"Because we proved our value and we have kicked some giants butt where you don't." Answered Hazel.
"Okay for you but Annabeth didn't..."
"Yes but Gaia mentioned her own quest and that's why she has disappeared so even you can understand how important this quest must be." Pointed Reyna.
"So, why did we do, now?" Asked Frank.
"We find Annabeth and bring her back." Decided Percy.
"This plan suits me." Approved Jason.
"And I think that I can help you." Said Octavian with a mysterious smile on his face.
