Hey guys here is the next chapter and I am just doing the final edit on the next chapter so it should be up tonight. So read and review because it helps me write faster.
Now there are beaches then there is the secret beach. My dad showed me this place as soon as we got back from the war; it was like a beach out of the Caribbean. There was a white sand beach with clear blue water, and a food hut. The hut is made out of wood and has a palm tree leaf roof. Inside it is tricked out with an awesome kitchen. It's all stainless steel and is always staked with cans of pop and fresh food. I had a feeling that my dad had made it for me and my friends to use but who knows maybe it was here before and he updated the kitchen. Either way it was awesome. We got to drink pop right out of the can (I had to make Chris, Conner and Travis promise on the river of Styx not to show anyone this place or take the pop back to camp. But they could come here and drink it all they wanted) and it was privet.
Once we were all there I went to the back part of the hut witch is the storage section and got out nine beach chairs that recline for sun bathing. Everyone clamed a chair y putting whatever they brought. I put my towel down (even though I don't need one) as well as a bucket and shovel to make sand castles with.
Annabeth brought a towel, sunscreen SPF 20 (so she could still get tan) and a book.
Piper had the same as Annabeth but she also brought a pool recliner thing she wanted to use in the water.
Jason brought a towel, a volleyball net, a beach ball, and was the only guy that was smart enough to bring sunscreen.
Clarisse brought a towel, sword, sunscreen and a volleyball.
Chris, Conner and Travis all brought towel's, kites and a bag witch I am sure was full of pranking stuff.
Leo just brought his tool belt witch I am sure he could get anything we will need out of it.
Conner and Travis were setting up the volley ball net well I showed the rest of the gang the kitchen and got everyone a pop.
"Percy this is so cool!" Leo said taking a sip of his drink
"How did you find this place?" Piper asked me looking around with a smile on her face
"Well my dad showed me after we got back." I said taking a sip of my pop. It realy was better strait from the can.
"What should we do first?" Annabeth asked from beside me
"Well we could swim first." Leo said
"I can make us a bubble at the bottom of the lake so we can go fish seeing." I finished
Only Annabeth wanted to see the fish because Piper, Jason, Chris and Clarisse wanted time together so we all went off and did different things.
Annabeth and I were down in the bubble and I had my arm around her waist. We weren't talking but it wasn't an awkward silence; just peaceful.
"Percy." Annabeth said turning from lying on her back to her side so she could face me and I did the same.
"You don't really feel like that, do you?" she asked me with the start of tears in her eyes. Like if I said I did it would break her heart, then it would it would break both of us.
"I promise you I don't really feel that way. Sure I'm scared your mom will kill me but that is nothing compared to the pain I would feel if I lost you. Anyway how many of the gods have wanted to kill me at one time or another." I said making her laugh slightly "I may wish that your mom would realise that I love you and would do anything for you but if she can't see that then that's her loss because I am never ever going to leave you. After all that we have been through I can't leave you, we are tied together by our passed." I said looking in her eyes.
"I love you even if you are a Seaweed Brain." She responded making us both laugh a little.
"Well I love you too, even when you are a Wise Girl." I said before I kissed her. The feeling I got has never changed since that first kiss. I could smell the lemon on her hair. I could have stayed there forever but I have the worst luck in the world. Since the sea bay we have at the secret beach is only 12 feet deep anyone can swim to the bottom.
"Hey guys we are going to play volleyball and you need to play." Leo said (after popping his head into the bubble) not mining that he interrupted us.
"Ok Leo we will be up in a minuet." Annabeth said making Leo leave, he was still scared of her even after he got to know her he still sees her as the girl looking for me
"well I guess alone time is over." I said offering my hand and together we swam up to play beach volleyball.
The game was fun we played four people a side with Piper being the referee in the end my team of Annabeth, Clarisse and Chris and I won and we were all getting hungry. The Girls stayed to lay on the beach well us guys went to go cook. Of course I was the only one who knew how to cook since I was the only one who had someone to teach them. I made something we would never get a camp, Fried chicken, my favorite thing to make with my mom when I was a kid. The simple ness of the ingredients but the taste, with the chicken I made fresh cut fries. Once it was cooked we all pulled up a bar stool to the counter to enjoy our un-healthy meal with pop right out of the can.
"Oh my gods Percy this is so good. Where did you learn to cook like this?" piper asked me
"My mom taught me when I was little." I said taking a bite of my chicken.
"Well he's the only one of us who can cook, seems that's one area camp makes us not as ready for life as mortals." Annabeth said taking another big bite of chicken. There wasn't much talking after that we were all enjoying the junky food we never got at camp.
"We should get back for dinner so no one thinks anything of our day here." Annabeth said as we finished.
"Ya that's smart, but we still have three hours till we should head back. So what should we do." Jason asked.
"I want to spend a few more hours with you." Piper said grabbing Jason's hand
"I wouldn't mind spending a few hours with Chris." Clarisse said as Chris put his arm around her
"What about us three?" Leo said pointing between the Stolls and himself.
"You can go and plan a side prank." I said and with that they smiled and wet off to plan.
For the three hours I did nothing but sit and talk with Annabeth. Now that I think about I couldn't even tell you what we talked about but it was a nice change. But all good things come to an end and we had to go back to camp, I may not have known it at the time but I wasn't going to see my friends for a long time.
