Chapter 7: Annabeth Gets Suspicious
Me: Hey guys! So I decided to take a break from Percy's point of view and have a chapter about Annabeth. The reason for this is because I wanted to show that people were getting suspicious of Percy's behavior and not ignoring it. I thought it was a good idea so I went for it. So without further ado, I give you a little insight on Annabeth's thoughts. I hope you enjoy!

Annabeth was worried for her boyfriend. He had been acting weird shortly after defeating Gaea. At first, she thought that the relief of defeating Gaea and the fear of an attack was the cause but she ruled that out really quickly.
The first thing that made her suspicious was that Percy started to have headaches often. She brushed it off at first but after awhile, she felt like something else was going on.
The second thing that made her suspicious was that Percy started to wear long sleeved clothes. Again, she brushed it off and thought it was because he was cold. It was fall after all. But the summer came and he continued to wear it.
The third thing that made her suspicious was that Percy started to isolate himself. He still hung out with her and the Seven but it was always guarded. Like he was waiting for something to happen.
When Annabeth tried to approach Percy about it, he brushed it off. He claimed that he wasn't feeling well. Annabeth didn't buy it but accepted the lie anyways.
Her thoughts were confirmed, however, when he left camp suddenly to go live with his father for a bit. He came up from the ocean, gathered his things, and said goodbye to the Seven and Nico before diving in the water again.
"Is something wrong Annabeth?"Piper asked, suddenly appearing in her line of view.
She looked up from her book which she was pretending to read to look at Piper.
"I'm a bit worried about Percy," Annabeth admitted.
"What's wrong?" Piper asked, sitting down next to the daughter of Athena.
"He's been acting weird. He was more guarded, he started to wear long sleeved clothes in summer, and he said he was having headaches often. He also went to visit his father where he will stay for a while," Annabeth replied.
"Is he sick?" Piper asked.
Annabeth shook her head, causing her curly blonde hair to fall in front of her face.
She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear as she answered, "No. I have a bad feeling about this. Like something big is going to happen soon."
"Have you tried talking to him?" Piper questioned.
"Yeah but he brushed it off. He said he was not feeling well but I could tell he was lying," Annabeth said.
Piper sighed and advised, "There's not much we can do then. I would wait for him to talk. He won't feel pressured that way."
"Okay. Thank you," Annabeth said sincerely.
"Your welcome," Piper said, squeezing her hand before getting up and walking away.
Annabeth didn't know what was happening for once but she knew she would know eventually. For some reason, she felt like she shouldn't know at all.
And cut! Annabeth is suspicious but has no clue what is going on. Anyways, next chapter is a cute mother and son moment with Percy and Sally. For now though, I hope you guys enjoyed! Bye!
