Percys POV
I woke up on cabin 3. Sweat trickling down my face. I just had a nightmare about Annabeth dying in Tartarus, Ieaptus had killed her, and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm pretty sure I also screamed because my cousin Nico came running in. Nico had just started dating Will Solace(For you Solangelo Fans!) a few months ago. I was surprised to see nico come in and not Annnabeth.
"Perce, your burning." Nico said pressing his cold hand on my forehead.
"Neeks it's okay, it was just a nightmare." I told him as calmly as I could. I got up and Nico left so I could change. I picked out a Camp shirt some jeans and converse that matched my eyes. I walked outside of the Poseidon Cabin and went to breakfast. I sat down at the Posiedon table, when I didn't see Annabeth at the Athena table.
"Blue pancakes and syrup with, blue cherry cola please." I whispered forwards the plate. And bam on my plate I got what I asked for. I loved the plates here.
After breakfast I went to see Chiron, I was going to ask him a question that made me feel like if I didn't know I would die.
"Chiron where's Annabeth?" I asked my eyebrows scrunched together.
"Percy my boy, I think the last place I saw her was at the beach" Chiron said for some reason in what seems a sorry tone. I shrugged and walked over to the beach.
I couldn't believe what I saw. Annabeth sitting with Mark, a son of Apollo. They were gazing at the beaches waves, holding hands. My heart had shattered to a million pieces.
"Annabeth, when will you dump that stupid ass hole Percy?" Mark asked.
"Mark don't worry today, today I will." She told him. She leaned in for a kiss, and they both had the most 'romantic' kiss. Rage was at full mode now.
"Annabeth Chase what are you doing?!" I yelled. Mark and Annabeth turned to see me.
"You have no right to scream at my girlfriend o' so awesome. Percy Jackson!" Mark said a bit of sarcasm dripping off his voice. I glared at Annabeth, she was obviously scared because she flinched.
"Why Annabeth?! I held up the sky for you I gave up immortality for you I fell into Tartarus for you! What else do you need? Am I not perfect? Tell me Annabeth!" I yelled so loud, pract illy the whole camp came yo see what the yelling was about.
"Percy, I-I'm sorry, I r-really am." Annabeth said now crying.
"Bye Annnabeth, I hope you have fun with mr. Perfect, over here." I said pointing at mark.
Then I ran. I ran off into the woods. I stopped running and walked, I was crying, my eyes puffy and my cheeks hard from dry tears. I was still crying. Why, Dad? Why me? What did I do wrong?! I kept thinking as I leaned back on a tree. I covered my face with my hand and wept for a long time. Then I heard sobs, coming from above.
I looked up to see a girl with brown hair and blond streaks, she was skinny and a bit pale. She had brown eyes, and she was also crying. But what astonished me most of her was she had wings. I gasped, then I relaxed a little. I reached my hand out to her, helping her get unstuck from the tree.
"Who are you?" I asked. Wow Perce real smooth, that was rude! I thought. The girl didn't even hesitate.
"I am Maximum Ride, but call me Max." She said looking her brown eyes into my sea green eyes. I looked away, to see a camper stalking me behind a tree.
"I am Percy Jackson."I told Max. She nodded, coolly.
"Not to be rude, but why do you have wings?" I asked looking nervous, to see if she wouldn't kill me from this question.
"One word;Scientest." she told me, in a tone like isn't it oblivious?
I knew this was going to get awkward so I started a conversation about blue food. She actually seemed pretty interested in my liking of blue food because she never stopped and looked at me like I was crazy. I was leading her to camp to see if she could pass through the border. Then my worst enemy appeared. The minatuar.
