Hi! This is my first story, so I hope who ever reads this is enjoys it!
For telling me to write the story, write the side-stories within the stories, and making the title with me credits go to Lauren and Olivia.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus, but I do own Jade, Peter, Hailey, Tyler, anyone you don't recognize, and the plot-line.
Enjoy!
Percy's POV:
When I woke up that morning, I turned on my side to face Annabeth. Frowning, I realized she wasn't there. I sat up and looked at the time. It was during around time for breakfast, so I figured she was already there. After rushing to get dressed and fix my hair the best of my ability, then walked to the pavilion. On my way there, I stopped to have a conversation with a few campers. Everyone was giving me worried looks It was like they knew something I didn't. Then again, when something happens in camp, I'm usually the last one to know unless they need my help. I figured Annabeth would help, but the entire Athena cabin wasn't here. I looked around, frowning. Chiron and Jade from the Hades cabin weren't here either. Hailey was with Peter without Jade in sight. That was a first, probably, which I didn't think was normal, but I couldn't let that worry me. Where are Chiron and the Athena kids? Chiron has always been at meals. He made sure everything was in order and no one killed anyone. No one was causing trouble, even the Stolls. Something was definitely wrong. There wasn't much talking except whispers and glances my way. It bothered me, but if Chiron wasn't at a meal it had to be important. And secret, from me. I decided to ignore them and went on with my day as normal.
I was fed up with everyone. Everyone kept giving me weird looks. I finally snapped at some guy, asking what was up, but he just shook his head and walked off. I hadn't seen Annabeth all day and I didn't know where she was, so I couldn't ask her what was happening. Right now, I was at sword practice, letting my anger out on my opponet, Tyler, from the Ares cabin. He dodged every move he tried to hit me with. After what seemed like hours of sparring with him, my mind drifted off to Annabeth. "Where is she? Why is everyone being so weird? Where was the Athena cabin, Chiron, and Jade this morning?" I wasn't paying attention as Tyler disarmed me, pinned me against the wall, and was snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"Percy! Dude, pull yourself together!" Tyler let me go after I gave him a death glare, "Sorry, didn't mean to be rude, but you were so focused and then you just...weren't!" He tried to explain.
I rolled my eyes, "It's nothing! Except for the fact that everyone has been acting so weird around me! Everyone knows something I don't and it's pissing me off!" I snapped. I collected myself, - tried - before speaking again.
"Just tell me what's happening...please?" I tried.
He looked at me and sighed, "I'm sorry, Percy. I don't know either. No one can tell anyone about it or whatever. From what I heard..." I watched him skeptically. I barely knew the guy, so I couldn't trust him. All I knew about him was that he was a fantastic swordsman.
"Oh c'mon, Percy! I know we don't talk much, but trust me, I do not lie."
I nodded, biting my lip, "Fine. Thanks for training with me. Do you know where Annabeth is?"
He shrugged, "I don't know. She'll probably be at dinner."
I nodded as the diner bell rang, "See ya." I walked out of the arena and to the pavilion. I quickly sat at the Poseidon table, glancing at the Athena table. I frowned, "Where is she?" I looked around, noticing something. All of the other cabin leaders - including Chiron, who had been absent during lunch as well and Tyler, cabin leader of the Ares cabin - weren't at dinner. "That means there's a meeting for the cabin leaders...without me?" I stood up and walked to the Athena table.
"Is there a cabin leader meeting I didn't know about?" I asked, glaring at all of them.
The Athena kids looked at each other with a knowing look when - finally - one of them spoke up.
"Yeah, there is, but I suggest you don't interrupt it." The kid said with a shrug.
So, naturally, I shrugged in reply, "Too bad, kid, too damn bad." I said, then walked out of the pavilion, heading to the Big House. "Something is very wrong..." I stuck my hands in my pockets as I walked to the Big House. Walking up the steps to the porch, I heard voices. I stopped, listening.
Someone was talking and someone cut her off. She probably glared at them because they shut up.
"Anyway! As I was trying to say, Annabeth's, um well, missing." As soon as the girl stopped speaking, other voices spoke up. Mostly curses and questions. The voices were coming from the meeting room. Frowning, I carefully tried to not make a noise as I walked to the room. No one seemed to notice me as I leaned in the doorway, listening for more. Everyone was too focused on talking and getting answers.
Katie Gardner raised her hand and Jade, who was standing at the head of the table, with her back to me. nodded to her, "Why'd she go?"
Jade bit her lip, then sighed, "She's pregnant..."
