Chapter 2: The News

Here is Chapter 2. The plot is beginning to form.

I was really surprised that Annabeth finished in time. I saw the bags under her eyes and could tell that she was really tired. I felt bad for making her kiss me and I couldn't help her. I strolled into the big house and saw Annabeth and Chiron talking to each other. She was smiling and was very happy. So I walked out and waited on the front porch for Annabeth.

"So why are you so happy?" I asked.

"Chiron sent Athena the designs and she was very impressed," said Annabeth.

Annabeth was so ecstatic that she gave me a kiss. I was a little surprised but thought it was better to shut up. I suggested that we go to the beach and she agreed.

"I'm still deciding that should I change into my swim trunks or use my powers and make me not get wet." I said.

"Ugh, just change into your swim trunks and let me go change!" Exclaimed Annabeth.

"K, see you here in 10 minutes." I said.

I headed to my room and stripped my pants off. I had almost 10 swim trunks since I'm a water guy. I picked the best one, put them on and jogged outside. I stood there waiting. As I stood there some cute girls walked buy and started flirting. I didn't notice that Annabeth had already arrived.

"Ehem," said Annabeth.

I still didn't hear her so she tried to get my attention again.

"PERCY." She yelled

"Oh hey Annabeth, these girls were just saying hi." I said blushing as they left.

"Remember that your mine." Said Annabeth

"Yes honey." I said.

We both promenade on to the beach. It was very quiet. The waves curling into the sand. The sun shining write on top of us. It was noon. I was getting a little hungry so I asked Annabeth for some food. In the basket were some chips and two sandwiches. After I finished eating, it got really hot so I swam into the ocean. Annabeth felt alone so she jumped in too. I grabbed behind her and threw her into the air. She screamed. We fooled around and went up and dried ourselves. Romantically, Annabeth and I sat on the beach waiting for the sun to set on this beautiful summer day. Cuddling in the chilling air under the blanket. After the sun set, Annabeth and I walked back to camp. There was a camp fire and everybody was surrounding it. As we walked over we acknowledged that Chiron was about to make an announcement.

"Attention everyone, Camp will be ending early this year." Announced Chiron.

There is a stir in the crowd and a few whispers.

"I need to go down Florida to help my buddies and Mr. D has gone to Zeus for the summer." "So no one can watch over camp, please pack your stuff by Friday." Told Chiron.

It was Wednesday; we still had 2 more days. I felt sad that I won't be seeing Annabeth this summer.

"I guess I need to call my dad that I'm coming home early."Said Annabeth

"Yeah me to, goodnight." I said

I walked over to my cabin. Empty and soundless, I didn't feel calling my mom yet. I was sad and tired so I just fell asleep.

In my dream, which is normal for any half-blood, I saw bad things happen to Annabeth. As she picking up her luggage from the airport back in San Francisco, her bag was poisoned. Annabeth didn't know it, so when she went home and opened she fainted. I burst out of my sleep with my head and hands sweating. Immediately I pulled out my cell phone and called my mom.

"Hey Percy," said Sally.

"Hello Mom, camp is ending a month early this year," I said.

"Oh, so when do I pick you up," said Sally.

"Friday at 10am, but I was asking if Annabeth can stay for the rest of the month," I said.

"Yeah, that's fine, you guys can have some special time together," said Sally.

"Mom and thanks," I said.

"Yeah, honey," said Sally

I ran over to Annabeth's room not even dress and in my boxers and t-shirt. I knocked on the door and Annabeth actually opened it and everybody had left to salvage their time left at camp.

"Percy what are you doing," yelled Annabeth.

"I just wanted to tell you that you're staying with me till the rest of the month," I told her.

"Don't I have a choice?" Asked Annabeth.

"No and call to tell your dad," I said.

"Give me a minute," smiled Annabeth.

I waited outside impatiently. Some others campers were laughing and pointing at me. I just ignored them. It felt like hours. Then the door opened.

"My dad said…I can stay at your house." Said Annabeth.

"Ok, my mom will pick us up at 10am on Friday," I said.

I like this chapter more than Chapter 1. Review Plz.
