Heyyy, so I'm sorry for not being able to post lately but if you're looking for someone to blame please don't point at mwah. Blame the teachers at my school and my Mother for taking away my laptop… On the good note though I'm on chapter 9! This story is really coming along and I was wondering if you guys would like me to skip a couple of years with Annabeth at camp? So tell me, tell me, tell me and thanks but here ya go:
Annabeth POV
I heard voices from outside of the cave and instantly got curious, I began to tiptoe to the edge of the cave so I could hear them but they couldn't see me. I was shocked at what I heard:
"Thalia!" I small boy with fuzzy brown hair came jogging into sight, Thalia laughed before running up and hugging Him. She froze and then started to say things that didn't sound very good.
"Where is he? Grover... Please, Please, Where is he?" She started calm but at the end her voice was showing hysteria. Luke came running out, I forgot he was in here Damn, panic crossing his face when he saw Thalia but calmed slightly when he noticed who it was. Grover.
"Hey Grover…" He Said, I completely missed the next bit because I got focused on a spider, I really wished I hadn't now because I sure I heard the name Percy. Who knows where he is and what he's doing. I couldn't stand it any longer and ran out my hair blowing behind me.
I smiled at him and he smiled back before turning to Thalia I tugged on her sleeve handing her a note. Thalia frowned and shook her head before saying softly; the note had a single word on it Percy?
"Nah… sorry Annie nothing about a Percy, I would tell you wouldn't I missy?" I couldn't hold the tear that slid down my face and apparently neither did anyone else because Luke came up to me and swung me round planting me on his knee, he placed a small kiss on my forehead and whispered "C'mon let's get back in there A) It's cold B) You need to get to sleep C) You need to calm down" I giggled and nodded my head.
He swooped me up putting me on his hip and walking into the cave. We got me and the fire was running low, I grabbed a couple of sticks and placed them in a pattern of the fire. Luke chuckled and grabbed my hand pulling back the blankets and patting the space. I jumped into the blankets and rested my head against Luke. I slowly fell asleep to a world of monsters and nightmares.
I awoke in the weirdest position EVER! Thalia was half on Luke as was I and Luke was resting against Grover who had fallen asleep curled I a ball, Thalia's feet were by my head and mine were near Grover. All in all it was really hard to not wake anyone up when I was too hot.
The weather was terrible. It was stormy and lightning flashed as rain thudded against the cave roof, I hadn't been in the rain for a long time so when is better than when everyone is asleep? I tip toed outside and looked around hoping that there was no monsters coming to kill me, there wasn't! I grinned and went at sat on the floor, after around five minutes the rain got effectively harder. I was soaked to the bone and wasn't about to consider moving.
Suddenly a bunch of leaves rustled on the right, and I turned around stood in a defensive crouch. I gasped because there, Cm in front of me, stood a hellhound. I think it was, it looked a bit like a dog… I grabbed my knife which was always securely strapped to my arm and started to skip around the side of it.
We went in a cycle; Pounce, dodge, Attack, Dodge, Pounce, Dodge… etc. Until it got slightly distracted and I pounce my knife slicing through its rough fur, I giggled. Soon, I was in a full blown laughing fit (In stiches) on the floor. That was where Thalia found me.
She rolled her eyes but went inside for a moment and came back with her rain jacket on and mine in her hand. I nodded my head appreciably and laid it down on the floor in front of me before sitting on it letting the rain soak through my clothes.
"Annie-Bella! That isn't how you're meant to have it…" Thalia whined, half-heartedly. I grinned and decided to lie down so half my body was on the muddy ground, she pulled a face.
In less than a second she had pulled me up so I was stood in front of her, she carrying the majority of my weight. I heard a branch snap and quickly snapped my head round looking to see who, or what, had done it. Thalia got protective and pushed me behind her, she turned round and looked me in the eye before saying:
"Hey, I'm am going to go check that out if I am not back by… 10 minutes go and get LUKE! Don't and I repeat don't come ad try to save me yourself Ok?" She said t so seriously it was to keep a straight face. Nonetheless I nodded keeping my stone posture. She nodded and turned round her shoulders broadening slightly, then she disappeared into the bush.
5 mniuets quickly turned into a ten and I was beginning to get worried A) because there was no sound of swords B) she said she would be back. I waiting another 5 minutes before turning round and running to Luke.
I grabbed the notebook that was on the side and began to write: Thalia has gone in the bushes and hasn't come back for 15 minutes! Luke quickly registered what I had said and ran the opposite way to where it was. I ran after him and shook my head pointing in the direction she was. He nodded gratefully and ran… I waited a couple of minutes before running after them!
I heard voices and one of them was very familiar but I couldn'tpin point who it belonged to. Thalia and Luke came out of the bush and Thalia turned round quickly and whispered something that sounded like "Stay here I'll be back later!"
I pretended not to listen but I couldn't help but hear. I decided to go back later to see who it was, and how luke and Thalia no them.
****************Page Break****************
Later that evening…
Thalia and Luke were asleep so I grabbed a blanket and a couple of cans of soda before running out towards the place where I heard everything. It took me 5 minuets to get there due to me having to have to fight against the wind.
I got there excited and curious and apparently just in time because I got there just as the person was about to fall asleep. There led in front of me was a small boy with raven wild black hair and slightly tanned skin.
I decided to stop staring and make myself known
I tapped him on the shoulder. The boy was obviously startled by my appearance but turned round. And… Grey met green and nothing else mattered!
"Percy…"
"Annabeth…"
We both said at the same time , I looked around, I sure I was dreaming.
He seemed to do the same.
Suddenly, my walls broke and I burst into tears. I didn't speak!
We can't tell Thalia and Luke I thought and he pulled a note pad from his pocket, I smiled. He passed me the pad and pen and motioned for me to read:
I thought you were dead!
I quickly wrote back…
I thought YOU were dead! When the building collapsed.
I passed it to him and he quickly wrote:
Don't tell Thalia…?
I nodded for an answer and he smiled I sat next to him when I realised I was still standing. He smiled and jumped next to me, we seemed to have fallen asleep.
We awoke in the morning to a bunch of leaves being crunched by on coming feet. Oh gods!
Thalia broke through the bushes yelling…
"What in Hades!?"…
Thanks for reading!
