Hey everyone... sorry I haven't updated in a while... I have had absolutely NO time to. But here is a little moment in TLO that I tweaked... a lot... I don't own the book so I can't quote exactly, but hopefully you won't chase me down for that... I'd be grateful if you didn't! (:
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah you know what I'm gonna say. I don't own PJO.
2nd person Annabeth PoV (I read a fic like his and thought it was a cool idea!)
You watch, stunned, as he ran, tripping over nothing, to his cabin. You need to sit down, so you wander over to Thalia's pine, where it's easiest to collect your thoughts. Your hand absently wanders up to your lips. You notice this, and quickly yank it away. You retrace your steps to what caused this, ah, event. You wince as you recall yelling at him about his mortal friend and how camp needs him. You recall accidentally letting it slip that you wanted him to think about making something permanent... that was something he didn't need to hear. You cringe again at your mistake. But, you think, was it a mistake? Because, after you said (or screamed) that...
You close your eyes. Immediately it's as if you're transported back in time to about ten minutes ago.
You stare at Percy defiantly, daring him to reply. He does, but not in the way you expected. For a moment, he stared back at you, but then a strange look came over his face. All of a sudden, you feel his strong arms wrap around you, and he crashes his lips on to yours. He pulls back quickly, as if realizing what he had done. He stares at you, confusion and fear as well as a bit of hopefulness in his eyes. You stare back, in complete and utter shock. Apparently, you show no emotion in your face, because he backs away, stumbling, and then turns around and runs.
As you jerk back into reality, you start to wonder. What if you had kissed him back? What would happen then? You realize that you want to find out. So you stand up, brush yourself off, and head down the hill towards the cabins, muttering about seaweed and second chances.
