Annabeth PoV
I'd found a cave and that's where I was staying when the dinner bell rang out over camp and I realized I was late for meeting Grover. I got up and bolted through the woods, probably interrupting anything that happen to be lurking around. About 5 minutes, three trips, and one very ticked off wood nymph later I was back behind the cabins where I was suppose to meet Grover. He wasn't there so I sat down and waited.
A few minutes later I saw Grover coming as fast as he could with his being buried in two backpacks, a bag, and a picnic basket. When I tilted me head he said, "Chiron."
"So I'm moving into the cave then?" I asked and received a snot of amusement in response.
"Apparently. Wanna take some stuff off me?" I got up and took the basket and a back pack. "Lead the way."
We walked in silence for a few minutes before I asked, "So, did they track Percy down with pitch forks and torches yet?"
"No, not yet. Their gonna have that tomorrow night instead of capture the flag." Grover shook his head in disgust. "Why would they do that?"
I shook my head, "Which cabins against which?"
"Hermes, Hephaestus, Apollo and Dionysus on Poseidon's side. The rest on Athena's side. Except Aphrodite. They're staying out of it." Grover coughed. "Athena was up in Poseidon's face from what I was told."
I winced, "What happened?"
"Poseidon said it was a fight and that they should stay outta it but Athena was going on about apologizing to you and then declared war." Grover looked over at me. "What was the fight over?"
"Ummm... Coke?" I must have sound like I was asking a question.
Grover dropped the bag he was holding then tilted his head down and face palmed as hard as he could. As he looked up his hand dragged over his face. "This war started with coke?"
"Coke and a lot of bad things said..." We continued until we reached the cave in silence.
Grover put his backpack down and open the bag. Inside was an inflatable raft with one of those little strings that you pull and it inflates by it's self. "Where do you want this?" The cave was that deep, only 4 or 5 meter's, so I pointed at the back.
"So he does want me to live out here, huh?" I asked when I opened a back pack and found a few books and Daedalus's laptop. I open the one Grover had and inside was a change of clothes, my Yankee's cap and my dagger.
"Yeah. Told me to stay here, too." Grover replied, flopping down on raft. When I looked over, confused, he clarified, "I know where you and Percy are therefore I need to hind, too. Chiron thinks it would be safer. And it doesn't help I'm Percy's friend."
I sighed, "Time to decide who takes the raft I guess."
"Me, no contest!" Grover exclaimed. I looked over at him as slowly pulled my dagger out of the backpack. "Maybe not..."
I laughed and put the dagger back, "Good boy."
"Goat," he corrected.
"Good goat," I laughed. "Better go collect some leaves or something."
"Nah, I'm good with the ground. Well, see you later, I promised Juniper I'd explain after I came here." Grover got up and left, leaving me alone. A few minutes later I had pulled out the laptop and begun working on a building I'd starting planing. I heard someone enter the cave and assumed it was Grover, but when I looked up it was Athena, my mom.
Athena PoV
When I walked in the cave I found Annabeth on Daedalus's laptop. She took a second to look up but when she did she had one question with different variations for it in her eye's. Why?
"Mom, why are you here?" She asked.
"To talk to you." I replied as if it were obvious, which it was.
"Why?" Annabeth seemed to be trying to sense what I was thinking about.
"Because I need to know how big an apology I need to push for." I replied.
"How about none?" Annabeth had a cold glint in her eye. I know that look all to well. I see it reflecting off my enemies eye's right before I destroy them.
"Why? From what I've heard Percy dissed you good before he dumped you. I get help you safe what's left of your pride." I offered. "Poseidon and he son are nothing but trouble."
"There's pride and then there's vengeful. And right now your in vengeful goddess mode. You don't know Percy. He's sweet, and handsome, and he's a seaweed brain, but he is, or was, mine. I wouldn't be here right now, but you're threatening war! It's none of your business." Annabeth snapped.
I felt rage filling me, threatening to explode at my daughter, but I held it back. "It is my business when my daughter goes around with a son of Poseidon. Gods of Olympus, Annabeth did I not teach you better? I did not teach you pride is most of what a girl needs in life?"
"No, it's not. There are things more important than pride. And the fight was just as much my fault as Percy's. Maybe more my fault, as I started it in the first place. Pride. Another word for trouble. A small amount's good, but when you're full of it, it gets in the way of more important thing. Love being one of them. Can you not at least try to act as if you care whether I'm happy or not?" Annabeth went back to whatever she was doing on the laptop.
"Why else do you think I'd start a war?" I asked, somewhat wounded by what Annabeth had said.
"Because you are being vengeful. And the truth hurts don't it?" Annabeth still hadn't looked up.
"I don't want you hanging out with that Percy anymore. He's been a bad influence." I said as I walked out.
"You wouldn't know, you don't know him. And tough, 'cause I'll hang out with who ever I want to." Annabeth called after me.
Time to prepare for war. I thought as I flashed myself to camp. Right into the middle of their dinning pavilion. I heard a few pieces of cutlery clatter to the table and then the screeching of the tables on the floor and everyone stood. "I'm here for anyone on my side." I trusted that these were an intelligent bunch and they would understood. My table stood, followed by Ares, then Demeter. "Follow me." I lead them to the Big House. "WE must prepare for war!"
