Ok sorry I know it's been a few days since I updated but I've been busy.
Anyway did you know that this story takes up 42 pages in my notebook? (I write my story down and then type it) That is a long story people! And it's not even down. Ok I'll quit talking and let you read the chapter.
I obviously do not own PJATO so don't think for one second that I do!
Annabeth's POV
I was about to stand up and beat Kyra with my spoon and fork. But before I could I noticed Chloe blushing a dark red and Percy spit out his food. It flew all the way into the kitchen.
"What?" Percy yelled very surprised.
"Chloe told me something was going on between you two," Kyra said confused now.
I glared at Chloe. Percy looked over at her, angry as well.
"I'm sorry, Kyra." Percy said. "There's been a mistake. I don't have any intentions for your daughter."
Kyra nodded and Chloe looked a little flustered. Serves her right.
"Your chicken enchiladas are good, Kyra." I said, trying to change the subject.
"Why, thank you, Annabeth." Kyra smiled at me and I smiled back.
"How did you learn to cook like this?" I asked.
"Oh, you know. My mother taught me."
"Really?" I asked. "Well she's a good cook." Percy looked over at me with a look that said Show-off. I resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at him and continued talking with Kyra. Eventually Chloe and Percy joined the conversation. Soon I was tired and I yawned when no one was talking.
"Oh, you must be getting tired by now." Kyra said.
"You can sleep in our guest rooms."
"Cool," Percy said. "I call the Poseidon room."
"Well obviously," Chloe said. "And Annabeth gets the Athena room."
Dream Mode:
I was back at Camp Half-Blood and I was sitting at the beach. It looked so beautiful with the sun setting behind it. Then I heard footsteps behind me. Percy was walking over to me.
"Hey, Seaweed Brain," I said. Percy sat down next to me,
"Hi, Wise Girl." "You ok?" I asked. "You look like something is bothering you."
"Well...," he said.
"What?" I asked concerned.
"I came over here to tell you that...I love you." he said, then he looked down at the sand in front of him.
"Oh, Percy!' I said. Then he looked up at me. "l love you too!"
Percy smiled and then I kissed him. It felt like my heart melted into his. The kiss was so perfect but unfortunately I woke up.
Whoa, did I seriously just dream about that? Would Percy really tell me that? Why did I say that back to him? (Because you do love him!) Before I could ponder my dream more than I already have there was a knock on my door.
"Come in," I said to the door.
The door opens and none other than Percy walks in. With his messy black hair and his sea green eyes looking into mine.
"Finally decided to wake up, Wise Girl?" he asked me with a smile on his face.
"What time is it?" I asked. He sat down on the end of my bed.
"It's almost ten."
"Wow," I said. "I really did sleep in, didn't I?"
"Yeah," he said. "Why don't you come downstairs? Kyra has breakfast ready."
"Alright," I said. "I'll be right there."
"Ok," he said then he got up and left me in my room.
After I got dressed I went downstairs to find Percy, Chloe, and Kyra sitting at the dining room table with plates full of food. There was bacon, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, toast, and every way you think of to make eggs.
"Wow, that's a lot of food," I said.
"Yeah," Percy said. "You think it would be enough for Grover to eat?"
"I doubt it," I smiled. "He would probably end up eating his plate."
Percy laughed. "Can he eat metal though?"
"I'm sure he'd find a way," I said. Chloe and Kyra looked at us like we were crazy.
"Our friend Grover is a satyr," I explained. "He eats anything."
"Oh," Kyra said.
"He really eats anything?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah," Percy said. "He really likes enchiladas though."
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know," Percy said. "He just does, ok?"
So they got into this full blown discussion about camp that I started talking with them too. Next thing I know breakfast was over and we were getting ready to leave.
"I'm going to miss you, Chloe." Kyra said. "It was nice having you home for a day."
"It was nice to be home," Chloe replied. "I'll come back, I promise."
"You can't promise me that, Chloe." Kyra said. "But I can promise you, that whatever you decide I will not be mad."
Chloe looked confused. "Um, ok."
Kyra hugged her. "You'll find out dear."
"Bye, Kyra." I said after she was done hugging Chloe. "It was a pleasure to meet you."
"It was great to meet you too, Annabeth." Kyra responded.
"It was nice meeting you, Kyra." Percy said.
"Same to you, Percy." Kyra said. "Oh, and I'm sorry about thinking that you and Chloe were dating."
"It's cool," Percy said and waving his hand like he was trying to get rid of the thought. "It just surprised me."
Kyra laughed. "I noticed, when your food landed in the kitchen."
Percy's face turned red but he smiled. "Yup!"
After a few more good-byes we finally set off into the open wilderness. Once we were a few miles away Chloe spoke up.
"Sorry about how my mom thought we were going out," she apologized.
"No problem," Percy said calmly. "But why did she think that?"
Chloe's face turned a dark red. "Well, about that." she said uncomfortably.
"Spit it out!" I said. "Well I kind of told her some things and she jumped to conclusions."
"What things did you tell her?" Percy asked.
Chloe just shook her head.
"If you won't tell us, then I don't think I want to know," he said.
We walked in silence for a few more miles until I finally asked, "Where are you taking us, Chloe?"
"To Steamboat Springs," she said. "We are heading towards Seattle right?"
"Yeah, we are." Percy confirmed.
"So I figure, that by the time we get there we will be ready for lunch," Chloe said. "That way we can take a break there."
"Sounds good to me," Percy said.
After what seemed like hours of walking we finally arrived at Steamboat Springs. It was 3:26 P.M. (Mountain Time) by the time we got there. We had been walking for four hours now.
"Finally!" I said when we got into town.
"No kidding," Percy said.
"Let's go," Chloe said. "I'm starving."
So we found a nice looking Burger King and had our late lunch. But unfortunately we didn't have it in peace. I had just taken a bite of my Whopper when Athena appeared in front of our table.
"Mother!" I said. "What are you doing here?"
"Just checking up on you," Athena said.
"Why?" Chloe asked suspiciously.
"Because I can, daughter of Apollo." Athena said. It looked like there were flames in her eyes.
Chloe flinched. "Ok."
"I just came here to let you know that getting Apollo and Artemis will not be as easy as you think." Athena said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Percy asked.
"You'll find out, son of Poseidon." Athena said. But she said Poseidon with disgust.
"Um, ok." Percy said.
"Anyway, I must get going." Athena said. "Oh, and Percy stay away from my daughter."
Percy's face turned red and looked away. I looked away as well and then in a flash of light Athena was gone. Leaving us alone at a table, in an empty Burger King, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
So what did you think?
