A/N:

Chapter 2- Meeting

3785- The Chase Household

I returned to that very spot every single day, hoping to catch a glimpse of the brave, mysterious stranger. But no, my efforts were in vain. Day by day, the marriage date came closer. To be honest, my parents would marry Luke if they could. They absolutely adore him. It's only a few weeks away now and the realisation has finally hit- I will never get a life for myself. Every dinner, every morning, Luke continues to spoil me with chocolate and stuffed toys. But he never gives me one thing- a book. I have requested for this so many times but nooo. Books aren't for proper ladies. Now run along and be a regular wife. I can hear that bastard say. Gee, I wonder who made these rules. Yeah, I know! A fucking sexist asshole.

"Annabeth! Get dressed! We're going to the grocery store for lasagne. It's Luke's favorite!" she adds, piping up. Ugh, how dare she ruin my reading marathon. I was just up to the bit where Rachel and Daniel went to water amusement park… I'm going to have to finish you later, Breaks. I get dressed in one of my 4 modest dresses (wide selection, I know) and I walk outside the door, without waiting for Athena. Oops, sorry, 'mother'.

I walk into the bank closely followed by my mother. "I don't want to cause a scene in public, so prepare yourself for a lecture when we get home," she hisses. I roll my eyes. Oh joy. We get into the line for the counter, which is like a mile long. Yay, I'm prepared to wait for an hour for this. Goodbye non-aching back. It was nice knowing you. The line shuffles forward, bit… by… bit… oh sorry what?

While I stood there in the line, twiddling my thumbs, a scream came from what I presume is the back of the store. Soon enough, the store is in chaos. People screaming and running around like a hyperactive child on a sugar rush. Then there's me. A calm, happy girl with no intention of running or panicking. He's there. Fighting down officers like before. Dodging and punching perfectly timed. He looks even more handsome in battle. He loses his focus for a second but even that's enough for the cop to disarm him. The gun slides over the marble floor, stopping in front of… me.

PERCY

The cop manages to disarm me after I catch a glimpse of Blondie grinning at me. Frustrated, I act impulsively, giving the cop the upper hand. He aims his gun at me and I'm fully convinced these are my last moments. I read his nametag. Officer Solace. Huh. I'm going to die. Goodbye, cruel world. You will not be missed. Suddenly, I hear a melodious voice.

"I would put that gun down if I were you," Blondie warns. Wait. Blondie! Probably feeling the gunpoint press against his back, he gently sets the gun down. Blondie kicks it away, towards Nico. "Now, run along and I might spare your life." Ha! Blondie's got guts! Solace sprints away, with a look of confusion on his face once he sees Blondie smiling sweetly.

"Ha! Did you see the look on his face? He was like, I got threatened by a girl! Oh my gods, I can't!" Leo cackles. Blondie, still holding the gun, aims it at him.

"I would watch out if I were you, elf boy. I'm still armed." She says coldly. Aw, ain't she adorable? "Thank you for that…" "Annabeth. Annabeth Chase." Ah, so Blondie does have a name! Annabeth… beautiful.

"Well then, Annabeth," Piper says. "I reckon you're perfect for the gang. Would you like to join us?" Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Blondie? Our gang? Huh? ASDFGHJKL I don't know what's going on please send help I am a confused puppy.

She smiles brightly. "Of course! When do I start?" Well, I can't ruin this for her. I get up and dust myself off. I stick my hand out. "Percy Jackson. Thanks for saving me back then. I owe you." She takes my hand and shakes it. "No problem. And don't worry, I'll hold you do that." She grins. Oh dear gods, please do not let my hands be sweaty.

ANNABETH

I get into the car with Percy and the three others. Piper being the girl, Nico being the dark boy, Leo being elf boy. I hear 'Mother' shout after me. "Nooo! Annabeth! Come back!" I roll my eyes. Pfft, like she cares. I cross my arms defiantly. I am not going back there. No regrets. No… regrets…

The girl known as Hazel opens the door. "Welcome to your room. The toilet is the room next to the right…" I accidently tune her out to take in the beauty of the room. The room is simple, just the way I like it. The bed looks like heaven on earth. The white and wood theme suits my taste, though some gray would make it just spectacular. "…well I should go now. Make yourself at home and everything. Dinner will be ready at 8. Get rest and see ya!" "Thanks Hazel," and she nods. Skipping down the hallway, she hums a song about sunken gold. I close the door gently and flop onto the bed. My life has changed a lot in the last few hours. Yes, I finally got to use that line. I've read it in all the action books Frederick leaves laying around. Like in In A Heartbeat! It's so romantic how Miranda saves Aaron from the scientist, even if she knows nothing about fighting! And the balcony scene where they first meet with Miranda flipping Aaron off is so funny! Now just think about all the books I can read! Percy is a great bonus too. The selfless and somewhat clueless guy with sea- green eyes is haunting my mind now. Wait, I can't possibly like him, right? I've only just met him and… whatever. This place better have a good library.

A/N: Whew! That was a hella long chapter! Do you think I should continue the story? Sorry for all the mistakes in there! Also, I need to ask you if you want longer chapters like this with later updates or shorter chapters with quicker updates? Did you like the switching POV thing or should I just leave it as one POV a chapter? Please leave any suggestions or constructive criticism by reviewing!
