Chapter 2

Hey guys here's chapter 2

Percy's POV

My head rested against the bark our tree. My fingers drummed against its roots. I was waiting to meet up with Annie. Annie and I had been best friends since we were four.

**11 years earlier**

I had just waved my father off as he sailed away on yet another expedition, he'd only been back a few days.

His ship sailed away until it was no more than a dot on the horizon, I began to walk down the shore, I climbed a small cliff to a large oak tree on the brink of a forest.

I walked around the tree and was met with a pair of gray eyes and long blond princess curls. A wide grin was painted across her face. I smiled.

"Hi, I'm Percy," I said as I Lifted my hand to shake hers,

"Annie..." she seemed almost nervous as she said her name.

We talked for hours, I knew this was going to be the start of a great friendship.

After what seemed like forever I looked up at the horizon, the sun was setting, my mother would be so worried. I jumped up.

"Umm... I have to go," Annie looked out at the setting sun, a look of worry on her face.

"Me too... Bye" and with that, She ran into the forest, her princess curls bouncing as she went.

**Present Day**

I was excited to see Annie but it was bitter sweet I knew it wasn't likely I would see her again. I had turned 15 last week which meant my father wants me to join the family business.

I trust Annie more than anybody else but there is one secret I have never had the guts to tell her.

I was drawn from my thoughts when I heard a rustle in the bushes behind me.

I smiled as I circled our tree. I saw the same gray eyes and blond princess curls I had the day we met.

"Seaweed Brain," she smirked (Don't ask how I got that nickname)

"Nice to see you too Wise girl"

As always we talked for hours under our special tree.

Then I finally had the courage to tell her the truth.

"Annie" she turned to me and scowled, but the scowl quickly melted away, she always did that when I called her Annie and I never knew why.

"yes?" she said confused, I sighed.

"Look, Annie my Father wants me to go to sea with him and... I don't know when I'll be back"

"Oh," her smile faded, "When do you leave?"

"tomorrow" I answered. she didn't say anything else. we just sat there, watching the waves roll onto the shore.

It will get more interesting I swear
