Chapter 11
I only own Demitri Viola!
PJO belongs to Rick riordans unfortunately!
I gently opened my eyes to a massive fluff of blonde hair. I smiled and inhaled through my nose. I couldn't explain the relief I had to have Annabeth in my arms. While pondering my thoughts I looked over at Annabeth who seemed content just being curled up against me. She had a displeased look on her face though, I repositioned myself on the bed and she moaned. Annabeth scrunched her face and then it returned back to normal. I looked at her a second time and realized that I had been applying a bit of pressure on her shoulder.
When I figured I could get up without waking up Annabeth I slowly crept off of the bed, this then resulted in me landing in a bucket of water next to me and falling on the dirt floor. "It's all good" I thought to myself. "My neck broke my fall." I looked back at Annabeth who rolled over. She must have been absolutely exhausted because I hit the ground pretty hard and that bucket must have cracked. My eyes gazed the room wearily. I tried remembering what had happened last but most of it was a blur, I had no idea where I was. Sense Annabeth and I were unharmed I had figured that this place was safe. When heading for the outside of the tent I heard a voice.
"Your Percy Jackson right?" a smooth voice whispered.
I turned around to see a girl a little bit shorter than Annabeth across the tent. Her hair was auburn and her eyes where green, she looked familiar but I changed my thoughts to the moment on hand. "Yes. Who are you?" I whispered, remembering that Annabeth was still asleep.
The girl took a step towards me. "I'm Carrissa." She stated. She put out a hand towards me and I shook it.
"Um, nice to meet you." I mumbled. "Can you tell me where I am?" I asked.
"Well, of course." She smiled. "I don't want to be rude. You're at Camp Royal."
"Oh, so you're a demi god like us? I didn't know there were any other camps…" I asked.
"What's a demi god? Carrissa asked with immense curiosity.
I pondered my thoughts for a second, figuring out it if was a good idea to tell her. It did seem like she had a high amount of authority because of the way she walked.
"Um, well a demi god is a child of an Olympian and a mortal. Annabeth and I are demi gods along with Amari." I explained. "Does that make any sense?"
She looked at me like I was crazy. "Well then Percywho's my godly parent?" she flashed a smile.
I looked at her for a second trying to point out similarities from others campers at Half Blood. I could find a single one, plus I hadn't ever known of a camper that could heal, the only person who could heal was…Artemis!
"Um, it looks like you would be a daughter of Hestia she's…just a minor god." I felt bad after saying that Hestia did help us win the war against the titans but I'm sure she would understand. I needed to keep Carrissa away from knowing who her really mother was.
"Well… who is your parent Percy?" Carrissa asked.
"Um, that would be Poseidon" I said proudly. "He's God of the sea."
"Oh that's cool!" Carrissa exclaimed, grabbing my arm and walking out of the tent down to the huge pavilion. "Well like I said I don't want to be rude, so let's get you and your girlfriend some breakfast shall we?"
I liked the way that rang in my ears "girlfriend" I smiled to myself. All I had been hearing lately was how Thalia hated us being together…"Thalia!" I gritted my teeth together ignoring the fact that my cheek was in-between them. Why or even how could she have done that to Annabeth? I thought all of us were friends; the worst part about it was that she was going to stab me…but missed. I had never realized Thalia loved Luke so much…I should have talked to her; it may have kicked so sense into that electric skull of hers. I really did feel bad I mean on top of having Luke die, Thalia must not have had anything to hold onto being with the hunters, she must have been devastated last summer…
"Percy!" I heard a voice siren. I turned around to see Amari run at me with open arms. "You're alright! How is Annie?"
"Annabeth is fine" I laughed. "But I wouldn't go around calling her Annie, ok?"
"Ok" she blushed. "So are you grabbing Annabeth something to eat? I bet she's starving!"
"Yep" I exclaimed with a smile. "Wanna help me grab her plate?"
Amari ran to the pavilion and started pilling Annabeth a plate of all the nutritious foods she could find. I watched in disbelief as a picture of Annabeth popped into my head. She was Fat! She ate all the food Amari had given her!
"Well now that she's done lets head back to the tent I'm sure Annabeth is awake." Carrissa exclaimed.
Carrissa, Amari, and I all walked back up the snowy hill to the medical tent with lunch trays in our hands.
Thalia's POV:
I walked up to the pine tree I recognized all too well. I ran my fingers across the bark gently feeling the unfriendly grooves of my confinement. Sense the camp was vacant accept for a few campers my task would be easy. I ran down the hill in a dead sprint for the Athena cabin. The night sky glistened against the dew on the ground; it almost looked like the earth was crying…like it knew what I was doing. I waved the thought out of mid air and kept on running. When I saw the big house, the strawberry fields, the cabins, the arena…I stood at the archery grounds for a second and fell to the ground. If I do this Luke…will it all be the same? What do I do? I miss you so much, but I don't know if this is the right thing to do. After wondering in my self pity for a few seconds I got up off of my knees and whipped my eyes. I'm coming Luke. I thought to myself with a slight smile on my face I was beyond happy now.
The doorknob rattled a bit but after a I concentrated a little more I was able to send an electric jolt threw the brass barring splitting the handle in half. I scanned the room and found what I was looking for. As I walked up to a bed I saw a picture laying on a night stand…it was of Percy and Annabeth, I pointed my finger at Percy's face and watched it catch fire as I zapped it. "You deserve it…" I muttered under my breath. I knelt down and started going through drawers. I found a baseball cap, and my point of traveling to camp half-blood I grabbed both and sprinted out the door.
As I reached the top of half-blood hill I turned around and stared at the pine tree. I sat down in the wet grass and concentrated. The sky turned a darker shade of black and storm clouds had begun to form. This was getting hard id never used this much energy before…after a couple of seconds the sky started to rumble and I knew I was nearly done. My eyes fluttered open and I felt dizzy. I stood up and almost passed out. Out of now were a massive lightning bolt raced down from the sky and burst through the Big House. "Done…Finally" I whispered to myself.
I have track tomorrow so I worked on making this story interesting. Ill update when I make it to forty comments. It'll take me a while to post something new I have track ensemble practice, and blood drive Wednesday so wish me Luke! I mean luck!
