A Wolf Attacks a Dateless Me

We entered Chiron's office, and he was reading a book. I waited for him to look up, and when he did, I proposed my plan.

"So, Percy and I are dating now, and we're wondering if you would allow us to go off camp grounds just one time, so we could have an official date. I know that me punishment just ended, but this time I'm not trying to sneak out and do something bad. Just for a date... Is that ok?"

"Of course not! Did you seriously expect me to say yes to this ridiculous idea? No way! You recieved a month long penalty for going off camp grounds, so why would you want to do so again? It's just stupid. I'm suprised you don't see that."

"No, believe me, I do see that this is very last minute, and un safe. But considering the fact that were dating now, we wanted to go somehwre nice, and not just on the camp somewhere. Please make an exception. We won't doing anything bad, or risky. We'll keep an eye out for monsters and other stuff, so please?"

"I seriously doubt I'll change my mind. Maybe I'll be in a better mood later. Come back in a few hours, and I'll think about it. I just need to go over this in my head, cause there's so many downsides to going out off camp boundaries. I know you know that, which is good, but still ,even with you and Percy being really precautious, monsters can definitely attack, and kill the both of you. But, since you two are dating, we'll have to make exceptions eventually. So, you'll probably will be able to go on a date later, but not soon. Unless i change my mind. Talk to me later. Now step out of my office, and go do something productive."

I sighed, and looked over at Percy. He looked rejected. I felt so bad for him, and me as well. This really was not turning out the way I had hoped it would. But, there's nothing we could do now. We'd have to come back later, in the evening.

Percy left, and I followed after him. I looked at the ground, trying to think of different angled I could use on Chiron, to make him change his mind on the subject. But nothing would work. it was really unsafe, going on a date, but we had to convince Chiron that we were responsible enough to do so. That... that would take some work.

"Percy, I'm sorry, I know this sucks, but we can go on dates here, right? It might not be as private, but it'll have to do I guess..."

"Hey, it's ok. And you're right, we can just take walks through the woods on camp, and it'll be better than nothing. We can make it work until Chiron loosens up."

We walked around, saying nothing. Rather depressing, actually. I broke the silence.

"Well, what do you want to do now? Today we have no redquired activites, which is really awesome, but that means we'll be kind of bored..."

"We could make out again." He said with a smirk. Well, as I said before, boys are so horomonal.

"Um... we literally justmade out a minute ago, so don't you think that'd be a bit much?"

"No... we are dating, right?"

I laughed inside.

"Yeah, but still, as much as I'd like to kiss you right now, I don't want to go overboard. Just saying..."

"Well, you're a party pooper, aren't you?"

"Yep, you could say that." I smiled.

"Well, If you're gonna be like that, then I'm gonna go take a nap. Wanna come?"

"Into your cabin, uh no, I don't think I'm even allowed in there."

"Well, you've gotta break the rules someday, right?"

"Ok, stop trying to be a bad boy. It's not your thing."

He sighed.

"Okay, but seriously, I'm gonna go take a quick nap. See ya later, Annabeth."

"K, bye."

"Love you!"

"Haha, you too.

Waiing for Percy to finish his nap was horrible, and really boring. I had nothing to do. After a while of nothingness, I decided to pull on my 2 piece and go swimming in the creek, despite how cold it would probably be.

I jumped in, at the deepest area so I could do a cannon ball. I felt a rush of excitement as I plummeted into the icy water. While it stung a little from the cold, it was amazing too. The water brushed against my skin, making me shiver, and my bikini top starting to come off.

Well, that's awkward.

I snugged it tight, and swam downstream, along with this little fish. At frist, when I saw a bright orange blob moving next to me, I flipped out, but then I saw it was just a fish, so it was all good. I'm so easy to scare.

After swimming for about 15 minutes, just lounging around, I heard a growl behind me. I looked back, but nothing was there. I didn't think about it twice. La de da, just minding my own buisness, I floated around on the surface of the water, looking at the clouds in the sky, making shapes out of them.

Then I saw a giant wolf jump out in front of me, on the grass path parallel to the creek. I knelt on my knees on the rock bed, very still.

Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me.

It growled again, scaring the living daylights outta me. I slowly shuffled backwards, terrified, not wanting to aggrivate the wolf. Who knew what it could do to me, maybe rip my throat out? I didn't even want to find out.

"Good wolf, please don't hurt me. I've done nothing wrong, I'm not trying to hurt you. Just wanted to swim. Goooodddd wolf."

It gnashed it teeth together, and lunged at me. I blacked out as i looked down at my leg, gushing out blood, being washed away every so slowly.

I was awoken with someone shaking my arm vigorously.

"Urgh, stop that."

I rolled over on soft grass.

"Oh my god, she's actually alive! Thank the gods!" I heard someone say.

I fluttered my eyes open, very slowly. I saw blurry faces in a circle all around my body, looking down at me. It made me feel very self conscious.

"Where am I? What happened?"

"It's fine. You're alive, and that's what matters. Come with me." Again, that same voice. Who was that?
"Who are you? Don't kidnap me... wolf... urmf" Someone picked me up and slung me over their back. Not exactly comfortable.

"I'm Andrew, from the Zeus cabin. I'm going to help you out, make sure you recover from your major blood loss, stuff like that. Don't worry, though. I think you'll be ok, as long as we take you to Chiron, so he can help you in any way possible."

"Uhhhh... ok whatever..."

I fell asleep a little on his nice, hard back. It felt very muscular, though I couldn't see for myself. I didn't really feel like opening my eyes. I was too weary.

Chiron came running out of his office when he saw me slumped over Andrew's back, looking scared to death. i felt bad for him. I wasn't trying to scare the old man, I just wanted to take a quick swim in the water! Is that too much to ask? Can't I do anything fun, without something going wrong?

He pulled me off his back and stood me upright, forcing me to walk as he led me to the camp nurse.

Nice person you are, forcing an injured person to walk.

I don't remember much from the visit to the nurse, as I had a lot of blood gone and I was constantly passing out and then reviving again. Chiron told me what happened. Apparently, a witness had seen me lying in bloody red water, looking like I had drowned, and alerted the nearest camper. Andrew had taken me to Chiron, and then Chiron took me to the nurse, who determined that yes, I had lost a ton of blood, and I would have to stay inside for a few days, while I healed and got fluids back in my body. I couldn't go out anywhere, not even on dates with Percy, which was really suckish, but that was the only way I would heal. When I recovered from my blood loss and several wounds, I could go back to normal life.

After I saw the nurse, I went to my bed in the Athena cabin to lay down, maybe drink some water. Thankfully Percy had still been asleep when all of this had happened. I didn't want to worry his little head about useless things. He probably already had enough going on in his life.

As I fell asleep with my warm blankets around me, I realized that the attack on Hades was probably coming up very soon.

I wonder when we're attacking Hades? Should I even try to fight, as I'm not even on the half bloods' side? Should I contact Gordon and see how it went with him telling Hades my spying details? Or should I just lay back, and relax while I'm sick? Ugh, so much to think about.

I decided that Gordon would probably be fine on his own, without me visiting him to talk. As for the Hades attack, I'd probably be too hurt and weak to fight anyway. Too bad. I could totally sabotage the half bloods plans... Ah well.

Then I fell asleep.
