Hello everyone! I haven't been updating because I had a sleepover! If you didn't read the of a/n. I didn't get time because, well because my room buddy got annoyed and wanted everyone light off. Which was weird because she had a light lamp on... So on, I thought this would be a series. I'm going to change the title when I think I'm going to make it a series. Ask me if you want it to be a series!

Percy's POV
THUD! We were at the bottom of the ocean, where not one thing could be seen. Only Annabeth and feel of soft sand were focused on my eyes. I was trying to help her. I don't know how I was helping her, though. Because now we are at the bottom of the ocean with no resources to help us live. And even if we didn't jump into the water, we would get owned by zombies... and a girl.
Now I have definitely noticed that girl that Annabeth despises, isn't the real girl she was really after for. First of all, the so called Rachel freaked me out. Second of all, she had a whole army of zombies chasing after us.
I looked around myself, just to check if there is something out here that I could use. The only thing that really caught my eye (except Annabeth) was a glowing light from a distance. I burned brighter and brighter, as if it were a living thing getting closer towards us. Hmm... I wonder what that is.
I laid Annabeth down onto the sand gently and kissed her cheek. "I will be back, Wise Girl," I promised. With a last stroke of her cheek, I let my legs turn back into my tail and bounded forward. As I came nearer, I saw several different colors of lights. About three dozen different lights, in fact. I took in my surroundings and let a big gaping noise. Mostly it sounded like a 'Woah.'
I reached my hand forward to touch the light, but it sparked and swam toward abother direction. "What?" I asked to myself in disbelief. I have never in my life seen this kind of species. I narrowed my eyes and saw what I really saw in a sharper and much clearer way. It looked like a tiny humanoid thing. With little transparent wings...
"Fairies!?" I yelled/asked. "Be quiet, Son of the Waters," said one who had a brighter aura than the others, "We have come to help. Please, wake up the girl. We need your help." I nodded, not wanting to make a bunch of faeries mad.
I headed towards Annabeth and nudged her shoulder. She groaned and rolled over her side, facing the opposite way. "Annabeth," I whispered whiling poking her sides, "Wake up. I found a bunch of fairies who want our help! Wake up!" She was groaning even more and said, "Stop with the fake stories, Seaweed Brain." Her eyes were still closed and she snuggled into the sand more.
"ANNABETH! WAKE UP!" I yell on the top of my lungs. She bolted right up and rubbed her eyes. "What?!" She hissed. "Follow me," I say, "I'm not lying or acting. I found some fairies! They need our help now!" I was trying my best to be serious because for somewhat reason, Annabeth makes me laugh.
She huffed and crossed her arms, "Yeah, whatever. Just show me whatever nonsense." I held out my arms in which she grabbed ahold onto. We swam to the bright lights, which I just witnessed minutes ago. She was like me when I saw the lights, gaping and saying a soft 'Woah.' I grinned triumphantly at her. She rolled her eyes, though I could see her lips trying not to tug a smile.
"See," I say, "these are the fairies. Maybe water fairies?" She lifted her finger at a tiny fairy and it simply landed on it. "Hello, Miss Annie Beth," it was the voice of the tiny fairy. It looked like it was still a child. The child's ears were pointed and some blonde hair was tucked underneath. She looked like Tinker Bell. But looked much more younger. She also wore this cute little purple dress.
Annabeth's POV
"Hello, Miss Annie Beth," I smiled for it was a child fairy, and didn't know how to pronounce proper words yet. "Hello, young dear," I greeted, "What would you want me to do? My boyfriend here, Percy, told me you needed help." The little fairy looked up at me with sad blue eyes. My face flashed sympathy. "Our princess is gone," she sobbed, "She is also the Oracle of Delphi. If she is gone then we will vanish, including all other fairies who live in the waters."
Listen to the child. Your mission has begun, Daughter of Wisdom, the same voice rang in my mind. I sighed, "Percy and I will find her. We will stop the evil from doing anything bad to us." I found Percy's hand and squeezed. He smiled sadly and looked at the girl.
"Percy and Annabeth," a wise voice came. A looking a like queen flew towards us, "I am the head fairy, Uanna (Yoo-Ana). I have been told by the Queen herself is that your job is to get the Oracle of Delphi, which is Rachel, back. Someone has stolen her from campus grounds and we don't have a trace of where they went. Please, find her." She didn't have a wand, but she used her hands and summoned two backpacks fully filled with sources for our journey.
I looked at Percy, who was staring back at me. "You must head that way," she pointed to a direction which I assume was north-east. I arched an eyebrow up and asked, "If you know the way, how come you don't do it yourself? I don't mean it in a rude way, my lady."
"It's because you two were destined to do this together. Not I nor any of the fairy folk here can do it. And also neither of your kind." I nodded, "I guess Percy and I should get going."
She nodded and said, "Yes. Farewell, darlings. I wish you my luck. May all the goodness give you the power to overcome evil. Maybe your love and kind heart lead everyone to a better place." I gulped and strained a smile.

I zipped open my pack that Uanna had given me. All the things that I needed were packed inside and were ready to be used. I had a dagger, shield that opens from a bracelet, food, helmet and other stuff that I couldn't be bothered to name. I dug my arm deep into the bag and felt a soft material.
I grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a Yankee's Cap. Why would I need a Yankee's Cap? I ask to myself. It flipped it around and saw a note dangling off. It snatched it off and read:
Annabeth. You have done a great job so far. Though, throughout the journey, it will get difficult and difficult. Sometimes even a child of Athena couldn't figure it out. But I believe only you can. In the journey, you will find something that would probably be the most challenging puzzle yet to come. Good luck.
-Your mother, Athena Olympia
P.S Try on the hat and use it to your advantage
I snorted at the end with the P.S. Yeah right, how could this Yankee's Cap be used to my advantage. But it wouldn't hurt to wear, though. If we get lost or anything, anyone could track me down with my hat. So I grabbed the cap off my bag and firmly placed on my head. Hmm, yep. How could I ever use this to my advantage?
I walked over to Percy, who for whatever reason didn't see me. Literally. I screamed and he screamed. His was definitely louder than my shrill voice. "Annabeth?! Where are you?" He screeched as loudly as he could. It made him sound sexy. I wasn't worried anymore. I could actually use this to my advantage.
I circled around him, without him taking action, "Hey there." He jumped up from the sandy floor and I rolled around laughing while removing my cap. Once he caught a glimpse of me, his face had mixed emotions, relief, scared and hopeless. My heart sank into my stomach, heartbroken to see that the person I love is feeling broken up. I suddenly stopped laughing and looked up to him in the eyes.
"I-I'm sorry, Percy. I promise I will never ever scare you like that again," I say sincerely, "I promise on the River of Styx." I laid my hand on my chest and cupped Percy's cheek. He still looked glum so I leaned in and gave him a mouth to mouth kiss. He responded and move his lips along with mine. Our heads twisted and turned with big moans and tongue licking.
"I forgive you," he says while grinning and gasping at the same time. I noticed that he dropped a pen looking thing when he got overly startled. I picked it up off the ground and examined it. Anaklusmos (is that how you spell it?) it said. "Anaklusmos. Riptide," I translated. "Yup," he popped.
"It sounds sorta' like a sword or something," I say. "Yeah. It is. When I uncap the lid it turns into a Celestial Bronze sword. It also is enchanted, so whenever I lose it, it would always reappear," he says proudly. I smirk, "Pretty handy for a Seaweed Brain."
"Hey!"
"Yeah. Whatever. We have to get going now," I say trying to skip the unimportant subject. "Uanna says that we should take refuge on an island. She also says that there lives a cursed girl who is immortal. The only way we could find is to listen to the waves." He frowns, "To listen to the waves? What's that supposed to mean?" I sigh, can't he not get any cuter? "She means to use your ears, Seaweed Brain," I saw sarcastically, "Of course not! This is logic! Not some cliché movie about how you have to listen to your heart and it will guide you!"
I closed my eyes and focused. Now, I relax and let the vibrations and the sounds of the water swooshing about take me into a day dream or a flashback.
It was as if I were in the dream. I could touch things and smell things, the usual things that people so. Though, I didn't affect anything. I touched a nearby blossom tree and reached out to grab a flower. It didn't budge or get affected by my hand.
I plopped down onto the fluffy green grass. The wind brushed by making one those nice sounding flute things move and make a melody. I leaned my back against the tree. What was this dream all about? What did I need to know? I closed my eyes in the dream.
I heard the swishing noise of paint splattering onto a canvas and I peeked an eye open. I saw a girl sitting on a stool, painting on a canvas like what I said. The girl looked familiar. As if I have a feeling that she's important.
"Dinner is ready!" A manly voice called from a Japanese styled house. The girl turned around and looked at where I was sitting, suspiciously. I gasped (she didn't hear it of course) her eyes were emerald green.
Just like Rachel's.
Oohhh. You think that is Rachel? You believe so? We'll just have to find out in the future. I have many tricks up my long sleeve. I was gifted as mischievous and smart and overall perfect.
