Chapter Three: A Plan to Get Wise Girl Back
Me:I only got three reviews for whether or not I should do percabeth. Two reviewers said yes, so I just decided to do it. I decided not to wait any longer. Believe me, I know how it feels to be waiting for an author to update. Soo, yeah I'm back with a new chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the PJO characters, only the plot.
Me: So sad… I can only dream of what I can do with Percy and Annabeth in MY hands.
Percy: *sighs in relief* I love Rick Riordan. He's awesome. I would much rather stay with him, thank you.
Me: *shocked* But he threw you into Tartarus with Annabeth!
Percy: Emphasis on "WITH ANNABETH". And I guess you kind of have a poi-
Rick: AHEM! This lady *points to me* has an even crazier mind than I do! She broke you guys up! AND put Annabeth in danger on her own!
Percy: Hmm. You have a point.
Me: *grumbles* Whatever. Back to the story!
Percy's Point of View
I sat on my bed and frowned. My feelings started as sadness, then became worry, then eventually became anger.
I can't believe that this is happening! Why did I agree to that stinking offer?! It changed my entire life! I lost my girlfriend! I lost my Annabeth. I lost my Wise Girl…
I spent the next few months sulking in my cabin. Whatever I ate tasted like dust, and the world didn't seem as happy and cheery like it used to be anymore.
I played around with my new water powers, and I had to admit that they were really cool. I made a few water sculptures around my cabin and froze them. They couldn't melt unless I wanted them too. I heard Thalia banging on my door. "Percy! I need to talk to you! Do you know where Annabeth is? I can't find her! She just disappeared!" I sighed and froze the door handles on my door. I couldn't talk to anyone now.
I made a water bubble and put some clownfish in it. I watched them play around for a while. They looked so happy. Son of the Sea God! Come play with us! I couldn't. They had no idea what I was going through at the moment.
I looked at the bulletin board next to my bed. It was full of pictures with me and Annabeth. I sat on my bed and thought for a moment. I HAD to get her back. I was wasting time by just being sad and sulking in my cabin. I packed a day pack I had and put some snacks, a pouch of drachmas, a canteen of nectar, a pack of ambrosia, and some water. I also put on a jacket. I checked my watch. It said 9:00. Okay, I can sneak out now. I crept outside. I was well hidden with my black jacket and black pants.
Once I got out of camp, I tried iris-messaging Annabeth. It didn't work. Then I had an idea. I might get blasted to ashes, but it was worth a try. I iris-messaged… *gasps* ATHENA!
I iris-messaged her and her face popped up in the mist. Her face showed mixed expressions. First they showed sadness, worry, and regret, and then when she saw me, she became her stone-cold face all over again. "Jackson" she hissed. "Why did you call ME of all people?" I flinched. "It's about Annabeth" I explained. Her face softened the slightest bit. "I'm really sorry for breaking our promise and causing you to disclaim her…" I bit my lip. "And, umm… I thought that you should know that she ran away from Camp Half Blood."
Athena's eyes were wide. She looked shocked. "Really?" "Yeah." She sighed. "I regret disclaiming her. She was my favorite child… And now we don't have anyone to design Olympus." She looked sad.
"I have an idea!" I exclaimed. "Why don't we try to find her and you get claim her as a child of Athena again!" She looked up. "We?" Whoops. "Uh yeah. I assumed that you wanted to find her too." "No I was just kidding" I was surprised. Athena never joked before. Wow. "Okay then. Let's get started." We thought for a while. "How are we going to find her? We haven't even got a clue to where she is". Athena questioned.
Oh. I didn't think of that. "How about this: I watch from the heavens and you can use that shield that she left behind to try to reach her." "Okay, good idea. When we find her, we can iris-message each other" She slowly nodded. "For now, we are working together, Jackson. But after this, don't think that we are EVER friends. I still hate your father." "Okay. Got it." She cut off the connection with the iris-message. I plopped down on my bed. I looked at the bulletin board that had pictures of me and Annabeth. I am going to get you back Annabeth. I swear it on the River Styx, I thought.
I used my powers to direct the water to get the shield, and to bring it to me. I also made sure that it didn't get wet. My powers had almost NO limits. It worked even through long distances. In other words, it was awesome.
I fell asleep on the grass using my backpack as a pillow. In my dream, I saw a figure lurking in a small makeshift camp. It was a girl with blond hair. I instantly knew it was Annabeth when she turned around. No one had startling grey eyes like Annabeth's. I watched her drinking some water from her backpack. She sat down on a little stool, looking exhausted. She should be, after all that walking.
She took out a little notepad and a pencil from an old chest in the shelter. I couldn't really make out the words so well. I saw my name, "Seaweed Brain" and the words "sorry", "can't", and "must leave". She finished writing it, signed her name, and then folded it neatly into a little square. She put it into the dusty chest and started packing her stuff. Where was she going now?
Then everything started getting blurry. NO! I thought. I had to see… Then I shot up, suddenly awake. I knew what she was going to do, and it definitely wasn't good.
Me: Yayyy! Athena didn't kill Percy!
Percy: Yeah! And now we're besties!
*Athena appears out of nowhere*
Athena: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
*Percy runs away screaming like a little girl*
Percy:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET ME AWAY FROM THIS CRAZY WOMAN!
Athena:*smiles smugly* I have that effect on most people. *louder so Percy can hear* AND I AM NOT JUST A WOMAN PERCY JACKSON! I AM A GODDESS! MORE WAYS TO TORTURE YOU!
Me: *holds hand up for a high five*
Athena: *grins and slaps it*
Me: Hey readers. Sorry for the cliffhanger. *smiles sheepishly* I hope you liked this chapter. It was particularly fun for me to write. Feel free to review!
COOKIES FOR ALL OF YOU! (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) (::) Oh and also, I am trying to get up to 20 reviews! I won't update until I get 20 or more. Kay? Thanks!
Oh, and also, I need a name for Annabeth. A first name, and a last name. The name I have right now kinda really stinks, so yeah. I will dedicate the next chapter to whoever's name I choose! I'm almost done with the next chapter, so I will need the names fast. Thanks guys!
