Hey guys! Please R&R
Percy's POV
Hang on, Annabeth said yes? It took me a minute to get over my shock. ''You are?''
She nodded. ''That's what you asked.'' She stared at me expectantly for a moment. ''So... when are you going to start training me?''
''Uh, when we reach land.''
''Ok then. So, where do I sleep now? With the guys?''
Oh, hadn't thought of that. Oh shit. ''We'll have to figure something out."
Annabeth rolled her eyes and left my cabin.
Five minutes after she'd gone, it'd only just registered to me that Annabeth had chosen me over Luke. Me, a pirate, and she'd decided to stay!
Getting over my shock, I went back out. It had been roughly an hour since I'd been out on deck, and we'd gotten extremely close to the island. I made my way to the wheel, where Grover was still steering for me.
''We have a new member of the crew, Grover. Have any extra room?'' I asked.
Grover shrugged. ''Dunno. Who is it?''
''Annabeth."
Grover started laughing hysterically, but he saw my questioning expression and realised that I wan't joking, he frowned. ''Seriously, Perce? You want a rich little girl to join the crew?''
I rolled my eyes. ''She's not a 'little girl', now do you have room or not?''
''I'll see what I can do,'' He sighed. ''How are you gonna teach her."
I leaned against the wheel. ''I'll figure something out. How much longer before we reach the island? Jason knows we're coming right?''
''Of course he knows. I had Beckendorf send a message to him and he replied than he and Reyna will meet us at the dock."
''And what about Luke?''
''The Hunters of Artemis are on your trail.''
I smiled. ''Good."
Annabeth's POV
I just agreed to be a pirate. What the hell is wrong with me? Maybe I hit my head harder than I thought. Or maybe you just wanted to be with Percy Jackson.
That stupid freaking voice. Shut up, me!
When I'd left Percy's cabin, and I was sure no one was looking, I face-palmed myself so hard that it left a temporary hand-print on my face, realising what a mistake I'd just made. I hadn't thought it through a bit! I was so completely focused on cheering Percy up that the irrational side had taken over.
Oh, you're an idiot Annabeth.
What would my parents think? What would my brothers think? What would my friends thinks? I'd just aligned myself with my fiancée's arch nemesis.
Walking around the deck and I went over to the guy who looked like he was in charge. ''Um, excuse me? Is there anything you need me to do?''
He looked down at me. ''You could help clean the ship,'' He said. ''Why?''
''I'm part of the crew now.'' I was relieved and incredibly surprised when he didn't laugh or say Ha ha ha! Yeah right, back to your cell, or... er, room?
He handed me and bucket of soapy water and a sponge, and I set to work. There was a strange golden substance covering spots of the deck. It took about five minutes of scrubbing to make it start to come off.
''What the hell is this stuff?'' I wondered, not realising I was talking aloud.
One of the men near me looked up, a guy with brown curly hair and a mischievous grin. ''It's blood.'' He said. ''Name's Connor," He extended a hand, and I hesitantly shook it. ''Annabeth.''
''Yeah, I know. So, Percy made you part of the crew, huh?''
I nodded.
''Cool,'' Then he just went to his scrubbing.
Jason's POV
It was nearing evening when Reyna spotted the Princess Andromeda. It was just starting to edge over the horizon. My guess is that it would arrive at about midnight.
''Should we gather the rest of the crew?'' I asked my co-captain.
Reyna shrugged. "We should at least get Frank, Dakota and Hazel, maybe Gwen and Piper.'' A/N: I know that Piper is a Greek, but I put Octavian on the Greek ship, so I guess its a swap?
I nodded and ran back to our base. I ran through the back-streets of the city, avoiding soldiers and making sure no one saw me enter our secret hide-out. My crew was still there waiting.
''Ok, Piper, Hazel, Gwen, Frank and Dakota need to come with me. We're meeting Percy Jackson.'' I said, and the members of the crew stood and followed me out. This time, we didn't even bother trying to remain secret. It was dark now and any person with sense knew not be out at night on this island. It was a known fact among the people that there were pirates dwelling in the city. At the dock, Reyna was still waiting, and the Princess Andromeda had gotten significantly closer.
''We'll get to see Leo again, won't we?'' Piper asked me, gripping my hand. I squeezed hers.
''Of course we will, Pipes.'' I reassured my girlfriend. The three of us had been very good friends, and it was because of Leo that our alliance with Percy Jackson even existed in the first place. Sure, Percy was a trustworthy guy, but Reyna hated him for some unknown reason. Leo had convinced me to talk with her, and now Percy was our strongest ally. Reyna still despised him, though.
We watched as the ship got closer with agonising slowness. Dakota was starting to get impatient. ''How long will it take?'' He asked exasperated.
Reyna shot him a look over her shoulder. ''Calm down, the ship's damaged. It shouldn't be much longer.''
''Damaged?'' Hazel piped up, looking at her boyfriend, Frank, in concern. ''By what?''
''Sea monster. Serpent, I think.'' My co-captain replied. I still wasn't quite sure how I felt about Reyna. Before I met Piper, there was definitely potential between us, but now I just didn't know. They were both beautiful and powerful and smart, but Reyna was more reserved, more controlling. But Piper could be impulsive. Stop thinking about that. You have worse things to worry about. I told myself.
It was another half hour before the Princess Andromeda docked at the pier. A gang plank was lowered down as we approached the ship. I caught my breath when I saw the hole.
''They've been attacked, alright.'' Gwen murmured, staring at the damage to the hull.
I was about to reply when Percy Jackson walked down the gang plank onto the pier, followed by his two lieutenants, Grover Underwood and Charles Beckendorf.
''Jason, Reyna,'' Percy shook our hands in turn. ''Its been a long time.''
''Yes, it has,'' I answered. ''Lets get your ship fixed, shall we?''
I'm sorry, this was horrible :c
I had no idea what to write. By the way, I've been lots of reviews wondering about whether they are demigods. Well, no, they're not demigods, but I might be able to throw in their powers anyway, just coz its supposed to be a Percy Jackson fanfic, and it was make the battles so much cooler!
Please R&R!
