Summary
she was human
she was Pegasus
and everyone knows Pegasus and humans can't talk
what happens when Annabeth and Silena can?
hey guys! So they update is earlier than usual because I'm sick. I'm puking but I've got a fever so I'm staying at home. I hope you guys like this chapter.
I woke up late the next morning. My nurse pulled open the curtains.
"Annabeth, what happened last night? You look like you just went to Rome" she said. I yawned.
"Something like that" I muttered.
"Well you better hurry her majesty is pretty mad" nurse told me.
"What I do?" I cried
"You missed three meetings and a training session"
"Oh, why do we even have meeting that early"
"Annabeth it's one in the afternoon" I cringed
"Why didn't you wake me?" I asked
"You looked tired" and with that she walked out probably to get my-breakfast? What do you call it when it's one in the afternoon and you haven't had food? I don't know. Nurse had a tray full of bacon eggs and French toast. She placed it carefully on the sheets then while I was eating went and pulled out my outfit for today. A pink dress with a t-shirt top and a slightly puffy skirt that reached about mid-thigh. She paired it with a pair of plain whit flats and a long gold chain. I finished my meal and got out of bed. Nurse took the tray and left to me to dress. When she came back in I was pulling on the flats.
"Good your dressed, your father wants to see you" I nodded and walked out and started navigating the winding corridors of the castle. Finally I made it to my fathers office which was in the east tower. I curtsied.
"Father"
"Annabeth, now that you have a Pegasus you are expected to attend the council meetings."
I bowed my head. "I know father, but I slept"
"You are expecting to go to sleep at a reasonable hour and to wake up at a reasonable hour. Being a princess is full of responsibilities and being a bound princess doubles that." He interrupted.
"Yes father"
"Dismissed" he told and went back to signing some important document. I left the tower and went to the training arena. Taking out my dagger I attacked the practise dummies. Why couldn't my father talk to me like a daughter not a princess? Why couldn't he ask me about my day like a normal dad? Why couldn't he go out and by me a birthday present and not get the staff to do it? I took a step back.
"Oops" I breathed. The dummy would not be used again. I laughed. I lagged because I wanted to. And what i wanted to do more than anything was talk to someone. It couldn't be my parents or Malcolm, it couldn't be nurse or my teachers. They would all just agree with me and I didn't want Thant I wanted to talk to Silena. But Pegasus weren't allowed to come into palace grounds the day after the binding. Something about to much magic interferes with their flying. I turned and walked towards the wall that wrapped around the grounds. Pegasus weren't allowed in but who said I wasn't allowed out? I quickly scaled the wall. My feet landed on crackly dry grass. I followed a worn dirt path to the village. Mud brick buildings with straw roofs greeted me. Most of them were crumbling to pieces.
I was shocked. I knew the town was in poverty but I didn't know that this was happening. I walked up to a house that was missing half it's roof and the garden was dry and the crops were limp. I knocked on the door. A women with caring brown hair opened it. She had kind brown eyes.
"Hello" I said
"Princess Annabeth! What are you doing in the village?" She gasped
"I needed to get out of there so I came to the village, I was shocked at what I found. Is this normal?" I told her, she nodded he head.
"Sadly their is hardly any water it all goes to keep the castle looking nice. The town is in poverty, the house are falling apart and it hasn't rained in over three months."
"This isn't right," I cried "I'm going to help, anything you want me to do I'm yours"
"Oh no princess I couldn't"
"I insist consider it an order" she hesitated
"Well I have to give everyone their washing back so if you could watch my son and make him lunch I would deeply appreciate that" I nodded.
"Of course where is he?" She lead inside. The house had two rooms a living quarters and a bedroom. A little boy no older than 5 ran around inside jumping on what little furniture they had. The women ran after him.
"No no Percy we can't afford another couch" she picked him up and swung him around. "That's Annabeth she's going to watch you while mummy gives the washing back." He nodded his head furiously. She came over and handed him to me.
"Annabeth this is my son Percy. Percy you be a good boy for Annabeth ok?"
"Ok" Percy giggled.
"Oh I'm sorry" I said "I don't know your name"
"It's Sally, Sally Jackson"
"Well Sally you head along Percy and I will have lots of fun, won't we?" Percy clapped his hands. Sally picked up a basket of washing, one of many.
"I'll be back soon" she said and walked out the door. I turned to the little boy.
"Well Percy what do you want to do?" I asked
"Hide and seek!" He shrieked
"K you hide I'll seek" I put him down and turned to face a wall.
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10! Ready or not here I come" I turned and began looking for him. "Is Percy under the couch" I called out and bent down to look underneath. The little boy giggled. I walked over to yeah small kitchen area "is Percy in... The cupboard" I pulled open a cupboard door.
"No!" He shrieked. I smirked.
"Is Percy under the table" I bent down and was meet with a pair of sea green eyes.
"Yes!" He cried I picked him up.
"Play again! Play again!" He banged his tiny title fists against my chest.
"Ok you want to his again?" I asked, he nodded. I put him down and closed my eyes.
"1,23,4,5,6,7,8,9,10! Ready or not here I come" he was under the table again. Shaking my head I walked into the bedroom.
"Is Percy in the bedroom?" I called. I walked over to the front door "is Percy behind the door" I went to the table. I bent down.
"I'm pretty sure the point of bide and seek is to find a new place to hide every time" I told him, he giggled. Sally ran in and grabbed another basket. Percy patted his stomach.
"Me hungry" he said
"Ok what do you want?" He patted his stomach thoughtfully.
"Rice" he told me, I walked over to their cupboard and pulled out some cooked rice left overs. There wasn't much. I put a spoon in and handed him the bowl. He looked surprised.
"Mummy doesn't give me this much" he whispered "she say that we have to save it" he ate half from the bowl and gave it back to me.
"Are you full?" He shook his head.
"It's so mummy have good" I looked at this little boy. He was only five and he had a purer heart than both my parents combined. And there we lots more children who went threw the same thing he did. I promised myself that I was going to help these people even if it meant stealing from my own family.
So yeah, I know you guys probably weren't expecting Percy but I just had to put him in and I've got big plans for him so keep watching.
Also I'm in a updating mood so I'll probably put a chapter up on TTT today as well as Wednesday. Yeah I hope you like it. so favourite, follow and review.
Kisses
