DISCLAIMER:I OWN NOTHING
Annabeth's POV
Its just a normal day here at camp. I, being a daughter of Athena, prefers to stay inside my cabin to avoid other campers from distracting us in our work.
Since Hestia already has her palace in Olympus, designed by yours truly after the war I am now working with a design for a palace of a new Olympian Zeus is talking about.
While I am drawing the palace of the new Olympian, I following the description list given to me by Lady Aphrodite said that the list was given by the new Olympian to Lady Aphrodite because he/she has duties to perform.
So I followed the descriptions properly, after one hour of drawing and scribbling, I can finally see the outcome of the palace.
"Something is weird with this palace" I muttered to myself while thinking what it could be.
After a few seconds I realized that this palace is like the palace of Poseidon. Almost all things in that palace is associated with water and tides... all except for the big glass clock on top of the palace.
While studying the designs of this palace, I start feeling guilty because this palace reminds me a lot of Percy and the good times we had but all those guilt started to go away when I remembered why I broke up with Percy.
FLASHBACK
Percy and I were hanging out at the big house waiting for the satyrs to drop the new campers that were scheduled today.
We were assigned to lead the orientation of the new campers to our world. I am assigned in explaining the all about the Greek gods and other stuffs.
While Percy will be the one to show them around camp
"Arrgghhh" Percy exclaimed after losing yet another match.
"I win again Seaweed brain" I teased him.
"I quit, its really unfair to play chess with a daughter of Athena" He pointed out.
"Its better to play with the..." He stopped himself and realize that he shouldn't have said that.
"With whom?" I glared at him before asking him with anger evident in my voice.
I know that Percy won't cheat on me but thinking that he likes to spend time with other people than me really irritates me.
"Its just some nymphs at my dad's palace."He answered
"WITH WHOM!" I half shouted at him not satisfied with his answer.
"I am telling the truth. I am just referring to the nymphs when I said that" He answered with the same intensity.
'POOOF'
I was about to retort to his answer when suddenly a pink smoke appeared or most likely covered the big house with an intoxicating perfume all around us.
After a few seconds Aphrodite appeared in front of us with a slightly amused face. A face you have when you have something planned for others that they don't know about.
"Ahh Percy, I have a task for you, think of it most likely as a favor." She said in a voice that she uses for flirting while staring at Percy
If she isn't a goddess I would have snapped at her for looking at Percy like that.
Hey you cant blame me, me and Percy were in a middle of an argument about nymphs and suddenly she comes along.
"But.." Percy tried to reason with her
"No excuses Percy. Meet me at Olympus in five minutes."
With that, She left the same way she appeared, by setting of pink smoke.
"I guess I will see you after the task the Aphrodite needs me to do" Percy said.
"Guess so." I said with an irritated voice.
I am still pissed of with our argument awhile ago.
With that Percy left leaving me alone.
'Wait' Suddenly it hit me, if Percy won't be around, who will show the new campers around.
"Arrrrghhh!" I shouted, knowing that Chiron and Mr.D are not here.
I have no choice but to do both introduction and showing the new campers around.
"Annabeth! Good to see you" Grover said which startled me.
"Yeah! Good to see you to Grover" I replied while facing him.
"Had a fight with Percy again?" he asked me after reading my emotions.
"Yup, good thing Aphrodite gave him a task or else I would have beat him up" I half joked trying to change my mood and not involve others with my problems.
Grover was grinning then suddenly he said
"Ow, I forgot. I am here to inform you that the new campers just arrived and they are waiting at the hill with confused faces." He stated.
"Great! Just what I need" I replied with sarcasm written all over it.
"Its nice chatting with you Annabeth but I need to go back to the mortal world and search for demigods." and with that he went out of the big house.
PAGEBREAK
"ALL RIGHT KEEP QUIEEETTTT!" I shouted at the group of campers in front of me who won't stop talking.
Probably they didn't notice me standing in front of them or they didn't expect their guide to be someone like me.
"Listen carefully and no questions in the middle of my discussion." I said with a lower intensity than the previous one.
I began to explain the world of the Greek gods to them, starting with the Titans and stuffs.
After the discussion I learned that mostly all of the new campers were sons and daughters of minor goddesses.
All except for a certain Son of Apollo named Junno.
Now of all the offspring of Apollo, Junno is the only one with a good built like from the Ares cabin and with stunning eyes like Percy.
Though Percy has still a better built and eyes than anyone here at camp.
Junno seemed friendly, friendly to the other campers in this orientation class and very friendly to me.
Every once in a while he will steal a glance on me but stops or turns his head when I catch him staring.
I am smirking in the inside of the thought of campers with the same reaction as Junno when I am around.
Its a known fact the almost all of the campers except girls have secret crushes on me but they stop when they know that me and Percy are a thing.
Percy is really that intimidating to other campers that they sometimes avoid me, and that pisses me off but after a few months I got used to it.
"That's All! Now lets proceed to showing each of you to your cabins and your cabin leader will be in-charge in showing you around camp since Percy is not here.." I said it with authority in my voice.
"Who is Percy" a young daughter of Hecate asked me.
With that said, I mentally face-palmed myself knowing that I have to explain who is Percy because of there questions and that would take forever.
After explaining to them who is Percy and what he had achieved Blah Blah Blah, I began dropping off campers to there respective cabins by starting with the minor gods and goddesses.
It took me more than an hour to finish dropping all except Junno.
"You're not bad for a daughter of Athena" he stated while walking beside me.
"You're saying that most sons and daughters of Athena are not that good except me? I glared at him.
"No No, don't take it the wrong way.
What I meant was you are good in socializing with other people" He explained..
"You remind me a lot of my mortal sister whom I left because I might endanger her with me around." He said in a sad voice.
"So you and you're sister were pretty close with each other" I asked with a sudden interest because I too have siblings that are mortal.
After that we began sharing our experiences with each other.
I am too caught up with sharing and listening to him that I didn't immediately notice that we already in front of the Apollo cabin.
" Umm, Here we are, Apollo cabin." I stated while cutting him off with what he is saying.
"Nice talking to you Annabeth, I hope we can do this another time." he replied while walking towards the cabin's door.
"I also had fun." I replied with a cheeky smile plastered on my with that he left me outside the cabin.
I don't know why, but I felt I can be myself when I am with him. Maybe its all because he can relate because we have similarities or maybe...
My thoughts were interupted when the Conch Horn sounded signaling its time for lunch.
While going to the pavilion, I remembered that the hunters will show up today. It means I can see my best friend Thalia.
And with that someone suddenly tackled me and hugged me as if her life depends on it.
"Good to see you again Thalia"
End of Flashback
My thoughts were shattered when somebody wrap his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
"You seem lost in thought Annabeth" Junno said.
"I am just thinking about something" I replied.
"I'll just hang out with my friends near the beach while you finish your architecture stuff, Ok?"
He asked permission.
"Umm. Ok." I replied.
When he left, I remembered the day the we became closer to each other because of a quest of a certain love goddess.
Flashback
I am grinning like a fool while hanging out at the place where me and Percy usually hang out.
The place was perfect, you can see the beauty of the untamed sea.
You can watch the sunset without distraction because campers know that Percy won't appreciate other people distracting him from his 'meditation' every morning.
Campers avoid this part of camp because of two reasons, they owe Percy that much and you don't want a son of Poseidon and a stunning daughter of Athena going after you.
I kept thinking about the adventures that me and Percy had when we were only friends.
Suddenly, I sensed someone behind me.
I shrugged it at first, thinking it was Percy.
"A beautiful place you got here." Someone said behind me which is absolutely not whom I am expecting.
Standing behind me was Junno.
"You need something?" I asked him.
"Nope" he replied.
"Then, why are you here?" I asked him with a bit of confusion.
" I am here to tell you that I was given a quest by Aphrodite awhile ago. She asked me to bring a person who is smart. So will you accompany me? He asked.
Without thinking, I accepted the offer.
"Good, see you in big house in ten minutes."
Through out the quest, we became very close to each other, constantly sharing our experiences.
After the quest, we still hang out during our free periods.
While me and Junno were getting closer, my relationship with Percy is not that stable anymore.
After a few months, it didn't change, me and Percy had more fights than before.
Until I decided that I should break up with him and date the son of Apollo.
END OF FLASHBACK
I was again disturbed by a movement in my cabin.
The only difference this time is, the movement is not caused by someone.
Its caused by a dozen S-SP-SPIDERRRRRRRSS!
"AHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
I am pretty sure that the whole other campers from other cabins heard me screaming but at the point I dont care.
All I am thinking is how to get rid of these spiders and the best way is not to get rid of them but is by avoiding them.
I tried jumping from bed to bed but it didn't work because the spiders would still follow me wherever I jump.
So the last thing I could do is run outside my cabin.
I was about to do it when a crazy thing happened.
Time slowed down.
More likely I slowed down but the spiders didn't.
When they were just about five centimeters from me, the conch horn sounded and suddenly the spiders were gone to who knows where and the time went back to normal.
I couldn't think properly because of that experience so I ran to the pavilion
.
"QUIET!" Chiron shouted and all the campers stopped talking and paid attention.
"As I was saying, I have an to announce something... Just this morning the gods added two gods to the Olympian council and Hestia is one of those two.
Now the fourteenth Olympian will be the new camp director." He continued.
"When will we meet the new god, Chiron?" I asked him.
"Actually my dear, he is already here in this pavilion." he replied
All campers were silent because they want to know more about this new god.
"NOW THE NEW GOD AND THE FOURTEENTH OLYMPIAN IS..."
