After Living a Dangerous Life
POV Annabeth
My heart fluttered. I couldn't stop grinning. I was never so happy to feel Percy's arm around me, except maybe when we were reunited after he had gone missing. I laid against Percy's chest as we sat around the campfire, singing cheesy songs and roasting marshmallows, the fire donning a bright red color.
As soon as the fire died down to a soft orange and there were no more songs to be sung, Percy stood up. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up next to him.
"Annabeth and I…have an announcement to make." Percy said, his smile illuminated by the fire. "We're engaged!"
The Aphrodite girls screamed and assaulted Percy and I. All of my siblings were grinning at me like, "I told you so." Jason, Leo, and Frank clapped Percy on the back. Piper, Hazel, Katie, and a few of other my friends hugged me. Finally, after all excitement had finally died down, everyone started drifting back to their cabin. Only Percy and I were left, standing alone in the dark. Leo shot a few fireballs at the fire pit and winked at us as he retreated to his cabin, talking animatedly with one of his sisters.
I sighed. We sat down, and Percy wrapped his arms around me. "Percy…what happens next? I know we have to plan the wedding and such…but where are we going to live? Just because there aren't any major threats doesn't mean there aren't any monsters around…" I said, my voice trailing off.
"Hey…I know you're worried. And you don't have to say yes, but…Camp Jupiter's still around, and…well, I was wondering if it's a possibility…" He looked at me with his bright sea green eyes that he knew I couldn't resist. I shifted my position to better look at him.
"Percy…I don't know. I don't feel right there and if we have kids…I don't want them growing up as Romans. I want them growing up as Greeks. We can look into Camp Jupiter if you really wanted to." I said unwillingly. I loved Camp Jupiter and all, but I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with Percy there.
Percy sensed my hesitation, and his face fell for a second. "That's ok, Wise Girl. You know I'm not happy if you aren't." I punched him lightly in the arm and rolled my eyes. Typical Seaweed Brain. Then he brought up a suggestion I hadn't thought about.
"What if…what if we lived here? At camp Half-Blood? We could ask Chiron, and maybe we could live in the Poseidon Cabin, seeing as nobody else really lives there." He said.
"Well…I don't know…don't you just think it'd be weird? A married couple living here? We'd have no privacy." I said. "Maybe we could just look around somewhere near Camp?"
Percy sighed. "Yeah. Let's just not think about it now…we've got plenty to think about with the wedding and all. 'Night, Annabeth." He kissed me and smiled, and jogged off to his cabin. I drifted happily to my cabin, humming to myself. I got into bed and could feel the eyes of all my siblings on me. I didn't care. I fell asleep within a matter of a few seconds and, for once, I had a night without nightmares.
