Don't hate me :/ This chapter's just so boring ! URGGG.
Disclaimer : I don't own the Percy Jackson series or the Heroes of Olympus series, Rick Riordan does ( Yeah as if you didn't know )
Annabeth
IF THAT MOMENT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY COLDER, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ICE. There was an eerie silence as Jason and Reyna wondered off down the deck, to the Little Tiber, which was peacefully shining in the morning sun. I glanced at Percy, trying to meet his green eyes, but he was staring into the distance, eyebrows scrunched together. He was lost in thought, which was rare.
I slowly walked up to Piper. She was leaning against the railing of the Argo II; she hadn't moved since Jason left. She looked like a Greek statue, beautiful with a billion stories to tell but could never speak.
"Piper," I started, "are you okay?" Not a very bright question from a daughter of Athena, goddess of Wisdom. No really? Piper slowly nodded, proving to me she was definitely not okay. "They could be talking about anything." I said again, a tentative smile on my lips.
"I know. But I get the feeling they have history together." She answered sadly, not returning my smile. She twirled one of her braids. "A lot of history…"
"I'm sure they're just talking about praetor duties." I said trying to comfort her. "Putting things in line since Reyna will be in charge alone for…a long time."
"No Annabeth, I can feel it, anyone can see it. They care about each other." she chocked. "But, whoever Jason chooses, I just want him to be happy. That's what love is about- happiness."
I had a feeling the subject was closed. Before I could ask anything else, someone's hand slipped into my right hand, squeezing it tight.
"Careful Wise Girl, you might fall." Percy whispered into my one of ears. His breath against my skin made my whole body tingle and my eyes flutter shut. I sighed before coming back to earth.
"I'm sure I'll think of something." I grinned turning around to face him, not letting him see how he affected me.
Percy smirked at me and for a moment I thought he'd seen through me. "I'm sure you will, there has to at least be one reason why I call you Wise Girl."
"Shut up, Perseus." I joked, making him wince at his real name.
"Don't call me that Annie." His eyes were sparkling as he busted out laughing. "Your face." I shoved him in his gut.
I growled. "Don't you call me that ever again!" I smacked him once more for good measure.
"Deal." Percy groaned, rubbing his stomach and head. "You'll forever remain Wise Girl."
"You guys are very…special." said Leo standing next Frank and Hazel, who were nodding in agreement. Making me and Percy to gaze at each, he was trying to contain his laughter but when he met my eyes he couldn't any longer.
"Very special." added Frank good naturedly.
"Before Annabeth beats you up Percy," grinned Hazel, she had a point, I could beat Percy up easily, "we thought we should discuss the Nico situation."
I let out a small gasp that only Percy heard. He turned to me, What's wrong? his face read.
"I had a dream about him." I answered. No one spoke, Piper came over, finally moving from her spot. "He…he told me to tell you, Percy, not to save him."
I knew it was going to be worthless, Percy would do anything for his friends, it's his fatal flaw, but I owed it to Nico to at least try. As many quests have shown... First quest they captured his mother, second his best friend Grover, third me.. .you get the picture.
"Annabeth...I...I…" Percy stuttered for the right words while his eyes conveyed the pleading.
I looked sadly into his eyes. "I know Percy."
"I'll save him, but you guys don't have to, it's too dangerous." he said shifting uncomfortably. I narrowed my eyes at Percy. He knew the chances of us letting him go it alone were slim, so why even try?
"Danger's my middle name." grinned Leo. His hands were fiddling with some random tools.
Jason looked thoughtful. He'd silently climbed on board and was standing next to Leo. "I thought it was Sammy? From you're grandpa?" Leo was as red as a tomato. Hazel stared wide eyed at Leo, but then composed herself from whatever had shocked her.
Meanwhile Piper was eyeing Jason, but he wasn't looking at her, apparently his shoes were more interesting than she was.
"Oh Seaweed Brain haven't you learnt anything? I'll be at your side ready to save your sorry butt." I finally smiled.
"We're in this together." said Jason confidently. What I didn't understand, was why everyone said Percy and Jason were similar. They both have done amazing stuff, yeah extraordinary stuff. Things some people can't even try to imagine... They're both great leaders, I'd never admit it but Percy was actually a lot smarter than he let on.
Yet Jason was more disciplined, prouder, stricter he was a Roman, he believed in honor. He was defiantly more confident with his ideas. He always had a plan, even in the most difficult of situations. I never said it was always a good plan but a plan none the less.
Percy, my Seaweed Brain on the other hand, was more laid back, relaxed and at ease with everything. Nothing really surprised him he expects everything. He acts without thinking, which has saved many lives, mine included. He was a Greek, more free in the way he moved. He doesn't really care what people think of him, well except me.
I'm surprised they haven't ripped each overs head off, well Jason did try. And failed. Hopefully there won't be a next time…
"We're not gonna start crying, are we?" asked Leo, a scrunched up, disgusted look on his face.
"Zip it Repair Boy." Piper giggled as she hugged Leo. "Men that cry are way sexier than macho men."
Leo grinned before shoving Piper off of him. "Whatever Beauty Queen. All aboard?" he asked. Piper nodded staring at Jason, who was sitting on the sofa drumming to a beat.
Leo ran to the control room. "Everyone ready?" he shouted. "Up, up, and away."
The ship lurched forward, climbing upwards. We waved at the campers below until they were nothing but the size of ants. I turned around on my heel, ready to face what lay ahead.
I'm sorry you had to bare that, I'll make it up to you!
