Hey,sorry it took so long to update. School gets in the way.
Annabeth POV
Sadie and Carter look at each other, confused. Walt slowly walks over to Sadie, as if to protect her. That's sweet, but if Percy ever did that away, I would be really mad. I decided to ask Zues a question.
"Lord Zues, why must the Kanes die? They've done no crime." Zues looks over at me with lightning in his eyes.
"They come from Egypt. Their gods must have sent them to spy on us and kill all our children. Including you." Wow how did he think of that. Morbid.
I do some calculations in my head. What if we, or if they, or if both of us. Yes that's it! I'll have to ask the gods first of course, but if they say yes. . .
"What if they come to came to Camp Half-Blood for a little while, then we go to wherever they're from to a bit? Then we'll learn if we can trust them." The gods look at each other and nod.
"Annabeth that's brilliant! And that's why I love you!" Percy hugged and gave a peck on my forehead. Then he full on kissed me and I melted in his arms.
"No PDA in the throne room!" Apollo yelled. We broke apart guilty. Poseidon and my mother bristled. Wow. We've been dating for two years now, and our parents still don't like it. That's just sad.
Zues looks back at us. "You are allowed to do that. You three, you may live for now."
Grover, Percy, and I look at each other and nod. We all hold up our baskets full of strawberries.
Percy clears his throat. "Would any of you like to buy some of Camp Half-Blood's fresh strawberries?"
Line Break
Carter, Sadie, and Walt said that they needed to go pack some stuff and say where that were going. We told them to meet Percy and me at Central Park. Grover went back to camp to get everyone ready for the new arrivals.
Percy finds us a spot in a secluded corner. We nestle there and talk and maybe kiss a few times.
"You remember that one time in the Argo II when you woke me up and showed me the stables?" Percy asks. Oh my gods. That morning when we woke up Frank was there and that was so embarrassing. But it was also one of the sweetest moments of my life.
"Yeah. That was amazing. Until Frank came of coarse, and Hedge grounded me," I reply.
"What about the time when I almost died in that volcano in the labyrinth and you kissed me before I went in?" He is so going to get it the next capture the flag game.
"Yes, but to be fair, I didn't know if I'd see you again."
"Oh, what about that time when I got Hermes to get us to Paris for a night?" This boy will kill me.
"Yep, that was the best night of my life."
"How about that time-"I finally got him to shut up by kissing him. We stayed like that for a long time until we heard someone clear their throat.
"Carter, do you have to be such a butt? They were having a moment!" Sadie said. Sadie, Carter, Walt, and a few new people stand over us. One girl stands close to Carter and has pretty features, brown strait hair, and brown eyes. By the way she looks at Carter, and he looks at her, they're a couple.
I blush with embarrassment.
"I'm not the butt, Sadie." Carter said, shooting a glare at Sadie. "Anyway, this is Zia, Jaz, Julian, Felix, Alyssa, Cleo, and Sean. Can they come along to wherever we're going?"
"Yes, we have plenty of room." Well we could use the chariot. "Percy I need to iris-message someone working in the stables to get the pegasi ready. Can you make a mist please?"
"Sure." We walk over to a fountain and he starts to make a mist.
"Wow!" A few kids said from Carter's group.
"Wow, back up. What's an iris-message? And did you say pegasi?" Carter asked.
"Yes I did say pegasi and-"
"Haha! In your face Sadie! I told you that I saw a pegusus flying over Manhattan!" Carter said.
"Yes you did Carter, but I thought you were hallucinating."
"Wait, was the pegasus black? Did it have a rider on it?" Percy asks
"It was black. I think it had a rider, but I'm not sure." Carter replies.
"That was probably me with my pegasus."
"Um. . . Any way, an iris-message is when there's a mist and light shines through to make a rainbow. Then you this in a drachma, a Greek coin, and say, 'O' Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please except my offering.' And then you say who you want to talk to and where they are. I'll show you," I say.
Percy has a good mist going and the light is shinning through perfectly. I throw in a drachma. "O' Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please except my offering. Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood." I wait for a bit.
"Camp what-what now?" A kid asks. The girl, Zia hushes him.
Chiron's face appeared. "Annabeth, Percy, what do you need?" He sounds tired. Better get this done fast.
"We need the pegasi ready. There will be more than expected. Can you make sure that some are hooked up to the chariot?"
"Yes! Of course. We'll send them on their way. Oh, Percy, Blackjack is ready for you and Annabeth."
"Ok, thanks Chiron! Bye!" And he swooped his hand across the mist, disconnecting us.
Then Percy did his best taxicab whistle.
