Heal My Scars

by theartnerd333

All Percy Jackson wanted was to live a normal life. All he wanted was to be like a human. But he isn't. He is a water demon, that controls water. But he can't reveal his identity, for he will be mocked, and will be killed. But what if one girl that he accidentally meets accepts him for who he is? What if he can't help but to fall in love with her?

4. Chapter 4

Hi everybody! I am so excited to present chapter four of Heal My Scars! Thank you to all my good readers and reviewers that gave me their thoughts; it meant a lot to me! :D

Now, I shall go on with the story! Enjoy, and don't forget to review! :D

Annabeth POV:

I woke up by someone screaming. I wake up immediately, grasping my dagger and pointing it at the screamer.

It was Percy and Rachel, fighting.

"WHY ON EARTH IS THIS STUPID GIRL HERE? WHAT, ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?"

"NO! What on earth are you talking about? She came here-,"

"What, so she can hang out with you? Why do you accept girls that look like a beggar?"

"You don't joke-,"

"Beggars are lame. She's lame. Why did you accept her in your treehouse? AGAIN?" she shouted, and I sat up. They both stared at me.

"Excuse me, can you leave-,"

"I heard everything," I said. "Or at least the recent ones. I'm not a beggar. And if you're Percy's girlfriend, I suggest you to give him some space. Dude, he can hang out with other girls! He was being kind, and you should appreciate that."

"Annabeth?" Percy said, staring at me. "She isn't my girlfriend…yet. We just kiss and stuff. We're lovers, but we're not allowed to date yet."

"Oh," I said.

"Our parents don't allow us," Rachel said, starting to brag by snuggling close to Percy.

"Well," I said. "Thank you very much Percy Jackson. I will now be on my way," I said, and jumped off the window. I dangled on the tree, and started to climb down. As I finally made it to the ground, I can hear more shouting, and started to walk towards the village. I have to meet Luke and Thalia. I have to.

As hours passed, I was exhausted. I skipped lunch, and walked for miles. As I finally reached the village, I found a store with junk food.

I paid twenty dollars, will all sorts of candy and food.

As I walked towards the street, I can see everybody starting to bow their heads down at me. What the? As I turn around, I see a horse and a man in shining armor come by. He stopped at his tracks, and he stared at me.

"Are you General Fredrick's daughter?" he asked.

"Yes sir," I said, and he chuckled.

"I need to escort you. You are going to have a camp of your own. Your father signed you to be the heir of his camp, and since it has burned down, we will rebuild a new camp."

I bowed, letting him show my appreciation.

"I suppose your friends are there as well," he said, as I hopped on the saddle. "We realized we had a vacant camp that hasn't be used unless it's an emergency; how lucky you are at this state! It takes such a long time to rebuild a camp. We are excited for you to train and defend the country."

"Thank you," I said, and we soon arrived.

Once I hopped out of the saddle, Luke ran towards me and hugged me.

"Gosh, I was worried about you," he said, stroking my hair.

"Me too," I said, though I hadn't thought of him much. I've been thinking of Percy, how his sea-green eyes and his raven hair has always been so intriguing. As the knight stared at me, he smiled.

"This is your new camp. You are in charge of your camp. We give you a salary for 10000 dollars every month. You must spend it wisely for your troop."

"Of course," I said, and then with that, he strode away. As I stared at my new camp, I sighed.

"I missed you," he said, stroking my hair.

"Yeah," I said, and we both stepped inside. As we all started to sit down, I saw a few of my troops.

"You know, I promise we'll make our camp proud again," I said, and everybody else nodded.

"Anyways," Thalia said, smiling. "Let's all congratulate our new general!"

And everybody cheered. I smiled, bowed, and then a random lady cooked us dinner. We ate, and I stuffed everything in my mouth.

"Woah woah woah," Luke said laughing. "You're eating too much! Chill…"

"Hungry," I mumbled, which made everybody laugh. And after that, we trained, and then rested.

I went inside my personal room, which was organized with new ammo. As I dropped all my belongings, I saw an envelope.

"Huh," I said. "How strange…"

And when I kneeled down, I took a peek. I slid the note and saw a simple clip that was shaped into a bow.

The note read:

Annabeth, this was the remains in the fire. It was perfectly kept, and we knew it was General Fredrick's item. After hearing he died, we thought it was right to return his possession to you. And later, we made it clean. It was securely safe, and once you had seen this, I hope you take care of this clip. General Fredrick had stared at this clip for so long every single day. I do not know what it represents or means, but here you go.

As I stared at the ceiling, tears started to form quickly. I missed my dad so much. I can't even control my emotions.

I cried softly.

And deep inside me, I can feel someone else feeling my pain. I don't know; I just feel some pull that makes me feel not lonely.

I closed my eyes, waiting for the next day to come.

Percy POV:

New recruits: One armed general assistant; Many soliders

CAMP 37- General Annabeth's Troop

NEW RECRUITS! Join today! :D

The sign was written. I dashed into the village. I was supposed to stop by Rachel's, but instead I ran towards Camp 37.

And I can see a lot for solders, and barely any for general.

"I suppose I can be you're assistant then," I saw a blond haired guy say.

"We must wait," I heard a familiar voice say. Probably Annabeth's…

I had to walk in line.

"Please show your techniques," I heard Luke say. Please come in!"

And I walked in. I made impressive moves once I was handed a sword. Everybody cheered except that same blonde haired boy, that looked very unsatisfied. Then, I stopped, and posed. Everybody cheered, and I saw Annabeth smile.

"So…you want to be in our troop…"

"Always wanted to," I said, and smirked. She smiled, and stared at me.

"You know if you join, you sleep here as well, right?" she asked, staring at me.

"Of course. I am here to present you my job for General's assistant. I'm Percy Jackson," I said, and everybody cheered.

"Well then," she said, smirking. "The results will be posted up tomorrow at the great hall! Probably all of you good recruits will get a job. Thank you for volunteering!"

And when everybody went away (including the blonde haired boy), it was just the two of us.

"Impressive," she said.

"Just saw my talent just now?" I asked, making her laugh.

"Yeah," she said. "Well, see you tomorrow!"

And she smiled at me.

Everything went well until Rachel barged in, smiling at me until she realized I was with Annabeth.

"Excuse me, it should not be here," Rachel screeched at me.

"Who are you calling 'it' as?" I asked.

"It is so disgusting!" she said, staring at Annabeth.

"Sorry," I said. "She's just overprotective-,"

"Because I love you so much!" she said, giving me kisses. I got a little embarrassed, and when I stared at Annabeth, she looked at her shoes.

"We'll be going then," I said, and I escorted Rachel out of the entrance of the fortress.

How my mind couldn't stop thinking of Annabeth's sad expression.

Liked it? Review! I hope you like it folks! Wrote extra hard on it; review! :D
