A/N Sorry if the first chapter was really OOC and short, I don't really know how a Titan would act. And I apologize in advance for the rest of the story, it's the first one I've written so it probably sucks.
Disclaimer: If I owned PJO then the Mark of Athena would be out by now.
Normal POV
It was a normal day in New York.
Well, besides the fact that almost the whole city was asleep.
And there was a war occurring.
It was a pretty abnormal day in New York.
But for the demigod residents of NYC it was normal for them. The Battle of the Titans 2.0 had been going on for almost two weeks. The end didn't seem close, either. More and more monsters just keep appearing. Luckily there were enough demigods to even the score. Not only had the Hunters of Artemis pulled through, the Ares cabin had shown up during a particularly bad attack and now was contributing just as much as the other cabins.
Back at the Plaza/temporary base/infirmary they were attempting to think of a plan to defeat the Titans. The number of demigods was enough, for now. But they couldn't fight forever. The head of each of house (plus Thalia and Grover) sat in the lobby. Despite having daughters' of battle and battle strategy, every plan they came up with was full of flaws.
"Come on guys, we gotta come up with a plan!" exclaimed Travis Stoll, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"No shit, Sherlock. That's what we've been trying to do." growled Clarisse.
"No need to be so harsh," mumbled Conner as he reached for his third can of Coke.
They were all exhausted and hungry even with the food they had 'borrowed' from supermarkets. They were all pretty snippy and bitter.
Annabeth was silent, as she had been the whole meeting. The other teens assumed she was lost in thought. She was. But it was hardly about battle plans. For the past week, Percy hadn't so much as glanced her way. Okay, yeah, they were in the middle of a war, but still! She's his best friend! Can't he even acknowledge her? Or was he too busy with Rachel.
She made a mental note to stay away from those Aphrodite girls; they were turning her into a needy, girly girl.
Annabeth cleared those thoughts from her mind. They needed to defeat Kronos. Yet, her mind kept drifting back to what she could've done that would make Percy ignore her like this. Did she not kill enough monsters? Was she not strong enough in battle? Was it that zit on her forehead? Was she getting fat?
She really needed to stay away from the Aphrodite kids.
"Okay, why don't we just meet again later tonight? We're obviously not getting anywhere," offered Thalia.
She was getting sick of Travis and Katie staring at each other, Percy looking quite depressed, and Annabeth constantly zoning out. This was war. Not Valentine's Day at a high school.
Annabeth sighed. On one hand she could maybe sort out her thoughts. On the other hand, during meetings she could be in the same room with him. She missed Percy. His perfectly messy hair, his ocean eyes, his… "Ow," she thought, holding her hand to her forehead. "Another headache? That's the third one today," It was odd. She had been getting an abnormal amount of migraines the past few days. It felt almost like something was trying to push its way into her head. She put it off as worrying about Percy and a war and the fact that her former crush was now hosting a Titan Lord in his body that her current crush would have to destroy. But she knew it was something else.
When she finally snapped out of her thoughts she realized she was alone at the table. She sighed, looking out the window thinking about Percy, ahem, battle plans.
