Hey everyone! I'm officially enrolled at college! That's one problem down, on with our story!
I think you'll hate me by the end of this chapter. I have nothing to do and many to think of... I hope you like it though
to alleyf98: This one is actually for you, my friend. You made my day too-well, actually night also. Cheers!
DISCLAIMER:How many times should it take saying I don't own PJO?
PERCY's POV
For all I knew, Annabeth would be Storm-spirit chow right now.
I had already spent dawn and half of the morning in the Big House with Chiron. We had managed to pulverize the monster army that the Manticore had provided us, but that didn't stop the monsters to take Annabeth.
I paced along the room again. I knew that I was helpless and my ADHD was doing nothing to help me calm down.
"Percy, Maybe you ought to sit down first." Katie touched my arm as I passed, in effort to calm me down a little.
I shook my head. "No thanks." I said then resumed my pacing.
"At least stand still then." Connor yawned. "We're getting motion sick and we haven't had breakfast yet!"
I waved a dismissive hand. "Go eat then."
"Percy..." Katie started.
I glared at her, which immediately made her cring.
"WHAT KATIE?" I shouted, making everyone wake up and look at me. "WHAT? DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL WANT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WHILE I DON'T KNOW IF MY GIRLFRIEND IS DOING FINE IN THE HANDS OF A STINKING MINOTAUR?"
"Well, Per-"
"I DON'T CARE KATIE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK."
Everybody looked at me and then away again. I suppose that's the best thing to do at a times like these. Whenever I am stressed or in anything that needed a plan, I would tend to snap at everyone who get near me or my way.
I swear, I'm worse than any girl in their time of the month.
"Percy, son..." Chiron placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
I sighed. Nothing beats Chiron saying 'son' to me in the calming category.
"I know. I know. I'm so sorry, everyone. Please, please.. just- just ignore me. I...I...I think I just need some time alone. To think maybe. Excuse me." I said then stood up to walk away from the Big House.
I wandered around the camp. I saw everyone go back by their regular activities. Chiron must've ordered them to go back.
Of course. I wouldn't want to postpone the camp's activities just because of two campers. Annabeth wouldn't like that. She'd say that it would be a total waste of time to do that.
She'd say it would just be unwise, even though this two campers we say is th "Hero and Heroine of Olympus."
I haven't been paying attention to where I have been heading, and when I finally did, I found myself on the docks.
I leaned upon the railings, watching the water. The lake may not be as calming as the beach, but the beach had already done enough for me fot the day.
My thoughts suddenly shifted, pouring out a dam of questions dying to have an answer.
Where was Annabeth? Was my Wise Girl okay? I always hated being helpless. I needed to do something, it wasn't only my ADHD screaming that at me, but my brain as well.
A voice spoke softly beside me. "It's going to be okay, Perce."
I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time of the day. "I just wish, Rach." I said, looking at her.
She was wearing a paint-splattered shirt and doodled on jeans. She had a green ribbon tied on the side of her hair. Typical Rachel Style.
"She's smart and brave. She can survive this. You two can."
I looked back at the waters. "You think so?"
Her left hand placed on my shoulder again. I swear there's a lot of that this week. "I know so."
"That's great to hear." I murmured tiredly, watching the water ripples on the lake. "Do you mind giving me a minute or two? I just want to be alone. "
Rachel didn't move or speak at all. Her hand on my shoulder just grew tense and gripped tightly. I looked at her and found her with her eyes closed. And when they opened five seconds later, they were glowing bright green.
That only meant one thing. She was going to give out a prophecy.
Don't get me wrong... I like Rachel most of the time. She's cool, always happy, fun to be with, but her oracle time isn't really one of the most endearing moments that Rachel has to offer to everyone.
She started spewing green smoke out of her mouth, which had swirled around her, engulfing her in a creepy manner. She started to speak in a raspy voice that was of the Oracle's
" Children of Olympus shall go and rescue
A lone Half-Blood in danger to pursue
Two shall battle the titan in vain
A cry that will keep one sane
The wise one's mark shall be lost
One stone restore everything together at all cost."
I've caught her before her head hit the dirt.
After a minute or two, she came around. As she sat up groggily, she asked.
"What happened?" She said as she blinked her eyes clear.
I helped her sit up. "I think you just gave me one prophecy."
Ooooohhhhh.. There. I finally finished. So sorry for the long updates, but I just have to think things through. I think I would be discontinuing this story...
Anyways, Until I decide, I really need your reviews. Maybe I'll have the heart to continue it.. Or not.
