"No!" I screamed. Wow had Percy changed. Percy sighed and sat up in his stool.
"I don't know what you want from me." He sighed. I stood and ripped the notebook in half. Percy looked at me with a bit of fright and respect in his eye. , "What the notebook do to you?"
"Reduced the mass of tree population."
"Excuse me?" He asked. I sighed heavily.
"Just, please get this right? Who is the goddess of hunt?" I stressed.
"Diana." He yelled. I groaned and gave Percy rope. , "What's this for?"
"Tie me up."
"Why?"
"So I don't murder you!" I urged. Percy's eyes got wide and tied my hands together. I took a deep breath. , "Artemis."
"Again, you confuse me."
"She is the goddess of hunt."
"No. Diana is."
"Artemis…."
"What kind of name is Artemis?"
"One things for sure, it's the goddess of hunt's name." I laid out. Percy rolled his eyes.
"I think we're done for today." Percy requested and made his way to my cabin door. I slid myself in between him and the door.
"Can't we… hang?" I asked.
"As long as you don't decapitate me. Decapitate, vocab word, someone owes me a drachma." He smiled. I looked at my tied hands.
"You'll have to wait." I said. He stuck out his hand. He knew me so well. Well, for a guy who forgot everything. I cut the rope with one quick move from my dagger. I smirked and dug my hand in my pocket. I put a coin in his hand.
"Thank ya." He beamed sitting on my bed..
"Okay. Um, any ideas on what to do?" I asked plopping myself by him. He faced me. I feel into his green eyes. Gods.I thought. How could someone who I've known so long look some-what different from me?
"Well…" He replied , "Chiron is mad I haven't finished my adjective homeowork."
"Percy, that's for first years learning Greek."
"Exactly. I blew it off apparently. And I speak Latin now." He emphasized the word apparently. He drew closer to me. I scooted a little to the right.
"I was thinking maybe a swim." I asked. Percy spread a grin over his face.
"Defiantly. But, um."
"What?"
"Can we take a walk first? Like, on the beach. At Camp Roman we didn't get free time." He requested.
"'Course." We just stared at each other.
"Why you looking at me?"
"I think I can ask the same question." I smiled. I slipped out from between him and the door. Percy opened the door and motioned for me to go out. I rolled my eyes.
"I do have hands."
"Sorry, felt like doing something nice."
"Well, there is a flux to world power." I said. Percy gave me a look and walked faster.
"Stop being so articulate. Articulate, vocab word, drachma." He held out his hand. I scoffed and placed a quarter. He looked at it.
"What's this?"
"Quarter."
"No, that's not the deal."
"Sorry Perce. I used all my drachmas that one day you kept saying "Migration" Over and over." I shrugged. Percy put the quarter in his pocket. Percy and I sat in the sand. I dug my toes into the sand.
"So, how was your roman life?" I asked. It was obvious it was a touch-y subject because he tensed up.
"Good. I had a girlfriend. Gwen." He sighed staring out to the horizon of the beach. I smelled the salty air. , "Friends. Sister. It wasn't home though." He smiled weakly. I had been waiting for him for over 3 years. But now, he seemed brain washed. He looked at me with new eyes. I sighed. He turned to face me.
"What?" I asked. He smiled.
"Admiring the view." He laughed. I pushed him. He laughed harder. Wow, I forgot how much I loved his laugh. , "Wanna make a sand castle?" I nodded and flicked sand at me. He scoffed and threw a hand full at me.
"Wow, you are Percy." I said sticking out my tongue. Which wasn't that smart because sand flue in my mouth. I grabbed two hands full of sand and threw it at him.
*Twenty minutes of sand-throwing*
"I have sand where sand shouldn't be…" Percy smiled. I winced. He laughed.
"You are— "I started but stopped. Percy grasped for the rest of the sentence.
"What?"
"You're the you I wanted to find." I smiled. Percy leaned over and kissed me. It lasted a long time. When I pulled back he grabbed my head and pulled me back. Percy pulled back and our foreheads touched.
"I have something to ask you." He said with a smile and put a hand in his pocket.
