Hiya! Thanks Ren for the first review! R&R and cue story!
Third person POV
Annabeth had a few ideas what was happening. A:Percy had a secret underwater girlfriend/ he travelled underwater to her, B: He's going to Posiedon's Underwater Palace, and he's been warned to no longer go near her, or C: He's in some traumatic state that somehow makes him afraid of her to that extent. She was getting nowhere with spying on him and rummaging around in his cabin while he was working on his "big project." Lots. And whenever she tried to even stand near him he would try, unsuccessfully at shuffling away from her casually like nothing's wrong. It always goes quite miserably when he trys that. She even got Nico to talk to him. Nico said he had said nothing, but she didn't really trust his word, and she couldn't have Thalia try, 'cause she was almost as ignored as Annabeth. All in all, it was ticking Annabeth off considerably, which is quite bad with an Athena child. Her siblings always asked her why she bothered andput so much effort into him, 'cause he hurt her and he wasn't worth the trouble. But she would always mumble back "maybe not to you."She was sad. Very, very sad. While Percy's main thoughts were "Worst days of my life ever. Crap, she's been looking around again. Neither of them were having much fun.
That was basically just a filler so Chapter 3 stuck onto 2! And cue story!

She would be coming out of sword practice at the arena now. I find her sneaking off to my cabin. I somehow sneak up on her without her noticing and...
