Kiransomers: I realized that too. Oh well, it'll have to do. Thanks for the reviews and compliments.

It's Just me: :D yay! Thank you!

Child Of Wisdom: Thank you. Heres your update!

Jay: I'll try to make it go as fast as I can but I'd like Percy and Annabeth to become friends first so I'll try my best?

Anyway, Here's another chapter for you guys. Hopefully you'll like it.

Wandering around hopelessly did nothing to help progress to a town where I would be unrecognizable. Parallel to a lake, I saw a tree. I slumped against that tree, massaging my foot, that was covered in blisters, exhausted from today's work. And it wasn't even night time yet.

"Tired?" Percy asked with a grin.

See, Percy here had absolutely no problem with hiking around the entire forest all day. He would just drink a sip of water and be all pepped up. He found it rather amusing whenever I fell which I suppose also contributed to his oh-so jolly mood. On this journey I have also learned that Percy is no good at stifling his laughter or hiding his amusement. So you can imagine the size of the smile on his face when I, after hours of pointless walking, sit down for a rest.

"I don't know Seaweed Brain, what do you think?" I said sarcastically.

"Well, Wise Girl, if you ask me, it seems like you can walk with me until we find a town."

The nicknames had caught on a while into our journey. Percy kept complaining about how boring I was and so he decided to start a conversation with me about marine life because he was so oddly in love with it. He claimed that fish had no sense of smell and corrected him by telling him they do. When he still disagreed I exclaimed Seaweed Brain in frustration. His best remark was calling me Wise Girl which I didnt find insulting at all.

Anyway, I scowled at Percy, who flashed a smile, and came to settle next to me.

"Scowls don't look nice on you, Annabeth," Percy stated.

"Oh really?" I grumbled but by the expression on Percy's face he didnt hear a word. So, louder, I said, "Oh well."

There was an awkward silence between us but it wasn't so awkward. Neither of us had to talk; we had learned almost everything about each other. We played 20 questions and he asked me everything tfrom my favourite flower to my hobbies. I learned that Percy loved the color blue and had a fetish for water; he wanted to swim in every body of water we passed.

"So," I said facing him again. "We keep heading up that path."

"I guess so."

I sighed and got up, "We might as well get going now."

Percy looked at me with a facial expression clearly saying Really?

"What?" I asked confused.

Now it was his turn to sigh. "Annabeth," He said to me. "We can rest if you want to and I know you do so don't deny it."

"Stop being such a Seaweed Brain; I can keep going."

"Just sit down. It wont kill you."

"We don't have to waste time."

"Stop being so stubborn!" Percy yelled at me.

I whipped around so fast that our bags went Splash! into the water.

"Now look what you did!" He yelled.

Percy POV

"Now look what you did!" I yelled at her.

Did she have to be so stubborn? I was being nice to her!

"Me? This is your fault! If we had kept going we wouldn't be here right now!" she screamed.

"If you have sat down, our bags would be here right now!"

She stormed off in the other direction. I waited until she was completely out of my sight before diving in and grabbing the bags. As soon as I touched them they dried almost immediately. If you're confused about that, that's okay; I would be too. I'm a son of Poseidon. Yes, the Greek god Poseidon; Lord of the Seas. And that is why I have special powers like making thins dry.

I lugged them to the tree and looked for Annabeth; I couldn't find her anywhere within a 5-mile radius. Instantly I felt guilty though there was nothing I could do at this point. As nightfall crept towards us I lit a fire hoping Annabeth would see it.

Just as I hoped I saw her shadow flutter by.

"Annabeth!" I called.

She peeked from behind a tree but her obstinate personality wouldn't let her budge. I walked away to the fire. The wind howled almost like it was forcing her to come here. She reluctantly perched beside me.

Because the silence was practically eating me alive, I struck up a conversation; One she wouldn't ignore.

"They killed her. My mom." I said staring intently at the fire, not even glimpsing at Annabeth. It was like I could control my eyes; I couldn't make them meet her eyes.

"It was kinda your mom's fault. And your dads. Remember the City of the Underworld?" I asked.

She nodded then whispered hoarsely, "Yeah. "

"Well, that used to be Atlantis."

"I read about that once," she said.

"My mom was queen and I was the Prince. Since it was only my mom managing it, it was easier to overthrow our kingdom which is what the Royal Family of the Underworld did. My mom fled to Athens for help and the royal family agreed to take us under their wing. I was caught stealing food and they punished my mom for it."

I sighed and finished, " That is why I hate the Royals."

"I'm so sorry," Annabeth whispered.

" 'S not your fault." I grumbled.

I cleared my throat and asked, "Sorry for yelling. I got the bags back."

She turned and saw them lying there.

"It's okay. Sorry to you too."

"Don't worry. Did you eat?"

"Yeah, I found some berries—."

I opened my mouth to say something but she beat me to it.

"-Don't worry ; none of them were poisonous."

I chuckled and fell asleep.

Annabeth's POV

Percy once again drifted off into a blissful sleep and I tossed and turned unable to sleep. But when I did, I wished I was awake.

"Annabeth," Aphrodite said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Don't play dumb!" she scolded. "Daughter of Athena, why did you yell at Percy? He was being nice."

"Sorry."

"Anyway, your mom wanted me to tell you to follow the owl."

"What?"

"Sweet dreams."

And with that she was gone.

So, Percy knows that he's a demigod, he's a former prince and aphrodite wont leave Annabeth alone.
What did you think?
