I just woke up from a five hour nap and it felt amazing!!
Soo sorry the short chapter but I really didn't know what else to put in. And I was really tired. This ones longer though!!
Disclaimer: if I owned the PJO series. I would not be writing a Fanfic. I would be out at the mall shopping.
She waited for the door to open. When it did, Percy's mouth dropped and his eyes opened in shock. She didn't know what to say, she probably should have thought this out a bit better. But apparently Percy had it all covered. He bent down and pulled her in, and kissed her.
It was amazing. It was the first time she had smiled that begin, well a really long time.
He pulled back and looked at her. They just stood there, her in his arms, for about ten minutes.
"Umm, do you want to come in?" Percy asked.
"That'd be great." She said as he took her hand and closed the door behind them.
Percy lead her the living room and they both sat on the couch.
"Do you want some water or something?" Percy asked trying to break the awkward silence.
"Yes, please" Annabeth said as Percy got up and went to the kitchen,
What could she say?
"Here you go" He said handing her the glass of water.
"Thanks" She said downing the water in a minute.
"So where have you been?" Percy asked, he'd been waiting for the answer for five years now.
"Well, I'll tell you but. But please don't interrupt, it's hard enough telling it once without repeating myself." She said.
"Ok, I won't" He said looking at her.
"Well, I was looking at a job for building a new house. I had gotten in a taxi, to ride to the site where they wanted it built. The driver started driving way off route. I didn't know what was happening till it was too late." She said looking off into the distance.
"We drove up to this beat up old house in the middle of nowhere. The driver and some other guy pulled me out of the back and tied my feet and arms together and gagged me. They dragged me into the house where another guy was waiting. He told me how I was here because it was all my fault that Luke had overpowered Kronos. They locked me in this room upstairs and only fed me once or twice a week." She said. Looking at her Percy could tell, he ankles were like sticks, so were her legs. She looked like she was only about fifty pounds.
"They kept me up there for five years, I never got to go outside or anything. I was handcuffed to the water heater, so I couldn't move. I kept praying that I would get out, and then one day I got my chance." She looked like she was ready to cry.
"I was to weak to make anymore escape attempts by that point, I could barely walk. So they assumed that if they left me alone I couldn't do anything. They all left to go do some demigod hunting. 'To get some company for you!' they had told me. So once they left I took one of the bobby pins that had fallen out of my hair and picked the lock on the door. I ran down stairs and had no idea how to get out. It was like a maze in there, I finally found the front room where the door to outside was. I looked around for anything that may be useful, and saw the master bedroom. I ran in there and found my dagger and the guys wallet." She was crying now. Percy put his arm around her.
"So, I unlocked the front door and ran for the woods. It was hard, I was so weak it took me three days to get into town, and I was only about ten miles from New York." She said leaning on his chest. "I was to afraid to take a taxi, I couldn't help thinking it might have been them."
"And then I came here" She said looking up at him. " And that's where I've been"
Her eyes were flooded with tears by now, so he just held her until she could talk again.
"I've missed you so much" He said kissing the top of her head.
She looked up at him and smiled.
"I missed you too" She said kissing him.
They stayed there and talked until they were so tired they couldn't anymore. Annabeth had fallen asleep on his chest. He laid her down on the couch and walked over to the linen closet and grabbed a blanket. He threw it over her, she looked so peaceful in her sleep.
"Goodnight Annabeth" He said as he kissed her forehead. "And happy birthday"
He walked over to the recliner and for the first time in a long time, fell asleep smiling.
