Chapter 2
Percy pov
I had been planning a great lakeside picnic for Annabeth and I at the lake that day and I
was extremely excited. I had gone out with Chiron's permission and bought a huge
bouquet of red and white roses that spelled out her name and put them on the sand. After
I had done that I had bought candles and delicious, gourmet food. I was so excited
because the highlight of my night was going to be proposing to Annabeth in the exact spot
where we had had our first underwater kiss. As I set everything up I whistled one of my
favorite songs "Lady" by the band Styx. It reminded me of Annabeth and made me smile
everything. When it came time for Annabeth to come and meet me I saw her at the tree. I
gave her a kiss from behind and cover her eyes. She said " Hey babe what have you got
planned tonight?"
I answered her with a mysterious "Wait and see." And proceeded to take her to our picnic
area.
As I took her there she began in a solemn voice "Percy, I think we should see other people
your not interesting anymore and I think we should break-up" As she said those words the
only thing I could think to do was yell " And I thought you loved me and I was even going
to propose to you!"
I proceeded to run out and ran without a particular destination. I saw I was in the woods
and looked up at the sky with tears in my eyes. The moon was shining but I looked as if it
was a bit upset or sad. I cried for about five minutes when I heard a rustle in the large
bushes. Out emerged the beautiful, auburn-haired moon goddes Artemis. She looked at
me and with her lovely voice began to say something to me. I was so stunned and
starstruck that I could not hear a word she said. She truly was stunning and I was so
transpired by her beauty I could only stare into her lovely silver eyes. She suddenly did
the most unexpected thing: she pulled me into one if the warmest most sympathetic hugs
I had ever received.
