Chapter Four:
I already said I didn't want to be found, but it wasn't one minute after I ran away, that I heard feet, I turned around and looked. It was Percy, his eyes searching for me. I crossed my arms and sat very still watching Percy. He made a face and put his hands out in front of him and started walking. He circled and circled and few feet away from me.
"Annabeth?" He begged the air. "I can't see you please pull your cap off." I bit my lip, but didn't make a move to take off my cap. So Percy put his hands out again and reached forward, this time he moved forward and got closer to me. I couldn't move or he would know where I was, but I couldn't not move, his hands would hit me and find me. I leaned backwards as Percy moved his hand inches from my face. I held my breathe, Percy's finger was a few inches from the top of my Yankees' cap. I wished some would call his name and stop him or something but there was nothing. Percy fingers poked my hat and it tipped off my head, I became visible. "ANNABETH!" Percy cried, leaning down to kneel in front of me. "I'm so glad I found you." He wrapped his hands into my hair and kissed me. I reluctantly wrapped my arms around Percy's waist. When we pulled away Percy had tears in his eyes. "When I couldn't find you I thought you had drowned yourself, Annabeth, it broke my heart." I could feel tears lap at my eye lids. I blinked them away.
"No way Seaweed Brain." I whispered as I pulled him to me, I kissed him. Percy helped my up and we stood watching the lake. "I love you so much Percy." I whispered.
"Same here Annabeth." Just then there was thumping and Rachel was running down towards us.
"You found her!" Rachel cried, hugging me.
"Yep." Percy said smiling at me, he leaned down and held my Yankee's cap to me. I tucked it away.
"Well Chiron wants you." Rachel said.
"Go on, well be right there." Percy waved her away and he turned to me once she was out of sight. He wrapped his arms right around me and kissed me. "Annabeth Chase you are my whole world." He said against my cheek. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I hugged him tight and then turned away.
"Seaweed Brain, I'm going to beat you!" I said taking off at a run.
"CHEATER!" Percy screamed behind me. I laughed and ran till I reached the start of the cabins and then I waited on Percy to catch up.
"So slow." I said smiling. Percy stuck his tongue out. I rolled my eyes and smiled. Percy grabbed me around the waist.
"Your mine now." He said gripping me. I laughed.
"Seaweed Brain!" I cried spinning around, I pushed my hands off his chest and fell to the ground.
"Good job smarty pants." Percy laughed.
"You won't be laughing when I get up!" I pushed off the dirt and charged at him, I tackled him to ground.
"Whoa." Percy whispered, I lay on top of him. He wrapped his hands around my neck. His smiled up at me and kissed me.
"Percy!" came a far off cry, Percy and I jumped up, knocking into each other and I brushed dirt off the side of me as Grover walked around the corner.
"Oh, there you guys are." Grover said. We nodded. "Well then come on."
Grover turned around and I quickly turned to Percy. "I won." I whispered. He shook his head, and then I grabbed his hand and I pulled him after me.
Chiron and the three wizards were waiting on us.
"Hello Annabeth." Chiron said I smiled.
I turned on the three, "I believe you are wizards." I said, Hermione let out a sigh. "And I will help with trying to get you home."
I turned back to Chiron, "Do we have anyways on how to get them home?"
"A plane maybe?" Percy chimed.
"Uh, you can't reach Hogwarts by plane." Hermione said, "And if it flew us to London it be hard, we normally ride a train to Hogwarts, and it isn't there."
"Yes and I'm quite sure flying be a bad idea." Harry said.
I bit my lip, this was going to be hard. "Hmmm." I said, "No plane or magic how about a boat?" I asked.
"Same thing with the plane, dangerous and no way to reach Hogwarts." Harry said.
"And we need to reach Hogwarts." Hermione said.
"Why is it dangerous?" I asked.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron sighed, "There is a dark wizard named," Hermione shook, "V-Voldemort.." She paused like she was waiting for something to happen, "He wants to kill Harry."
"And he will kill any Muggle, sorry, human who gets in his way. He kills them even now."
"That's terrible." Percy said.
Harry nodded, "Yeah, but its my life ever since I was born."
I gasped, I couldn't think having that since you were born, monsters didn't normally start to try to kill Demigods till they were twelve. I looked at Percy, he smiled slightly because he knew I could totally relate to Harry, not since I was born but since I had been very young.
"We need to get back to Hogwarts." Hermione said pacing.
I gave her a smile, "Don't worry we'll try our best to get you home." Chiron smiled at me.
"Now that's the Annabeth I know." Percy whispered. I nodded and looked around.
"Maybe we should ask the Gods for help." I suggested.
Chiron shrugged, "It might work, or might not, it might be a bad idea for two different words to come in contact." Percy nodded.
The light was starting to disappear behind the hill. I sighed, "I promised Ms. Jackson, Percy and I be home before it was dark, Chiron, Grover, will you watch them?" Chiron laughed.
"Of coarse Annabeth!"
"Okay, Okay, Bye. Come on Percy." I said turning around.
"Bye!" Rachel said.
"Bye Rachel." I said.
Then Percy and I turned and headed down the hill towards home, hopefully tomorrow would bring new information.
