Hi guys! Actually I came up with this idea like last week but was too lazy to write it down. Guilty, I guess. Anyway, hope you liked it.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HoO. If I did, I wouldn't even be on right now.
Prompt: Spiders
Percy POV:
I was making my way towards the arena for my sword-fighting lessons when I heard some footsteps and it got louder with every passing second. I turned around and saw Annabeth running towards me, her blond hair swaying in the wind and stormy grey eyes full of worry and shock. Wait… worry? Shock? I tried to hold back a laugh but still put on an amused expression.
"Hey Wise Girl. What- Whoa!" I exclaimed as Annabeth crashed into me and we landed on the ground with Annabeth on top of me.
I rubbed my head and made sure I didn't have a concussion. "Jeez, Annabeth. Slow down will ya?"
"Percy!" she said, faking a hurt tone. "How could you ask me to slow down when there's this big, hairy monster chasing me?"
"Big, hairy monster?" I asked. I think I know what was chasing her…
"Yes! And it has really big teeth and many legs…"
"Sheesh Annabeth. Are you even sure there's such an animal or monster?"
"I'm not kidding you! Do I look like I am? Anyway just quickly go kill that… that monstrous beast!"
"Um… no. But you sound like you are. And you are just exaggerating it. It's just a spider."
"Argh! You boys are hopeless!" She threw her hands in the air. "Anyway just kill it!"
"Fine…" I trailed off and added under my breath, "Children of Athena, during wars, no problem, but when it comes to spiders, they scream like it's the end of the world."
"What did you say just now?"
I went to kill the 'monstrous beast'. Um… correction, spider. "There. It's done. You may go now. I'm off!"
"Wait!"
"What is it now, Wise Girl?"
Annabeth pointed at where the spider was and huffed, "No way am I stepping there!"
"Why not?"
"The spider stepped there!" Annabeth protested. "I don't want to step on the same spot where it stepped on just now!"
I resisted the urge to roll his eyes and face-palm so I tried doing it mentally.
"Fine. I'll carry you back to your cabin then." I picked Annabeth bridal-style and carried her to cabin six, gaining a lot of 'Aww' along the way, mostly from the love-sick Aphrodite kids.
Wow. That was 370 words exactly, minus the 'prompt' and the '_ POV'. Sorry for any grammatical errors. I'm not very good at grammar and vocabulary. I'm wondering how long you guys want my chapters to be, so please tell me your opinions. Please review! Thanks!
