Sorry about not updating in a while. Ive been really busy. Im dedicating this chapter to Percy Son of Neptune, one of my favorite authors. Check out her(?) stories!

Chapter 11

Annabeth

Peter led me through the woods behind my house, past the creek, and into a meadow about two minutes away from my house. It was beautiful with knee-high grass and tons of wild flowers.

Peter dismounted his horse and tied the reins to a tree. I did the same and turned back to him. He had a picnic basket in his hand.

"How did you know to bring that?" I asked.

"I figured you would catch on quickly." he said spreading a picnic blanket on the ground, sat on it, and patted the ground next to him, motioning for me to sit down.

"Well, that was very nice of you because I am starving!" I said, giggling. Wait, giggling? I never giggle. I must really like this guy!

"Your welcome. And dig in! I'm starving, too."

Percy made two sandwiches for us and placed them on pieces of cloth. I took a bite out of mine and sighed. It was so good!

"This is amazing! How did you make this?" I asked.

"Top secret family recipe. Can't tell you. Sorry!" he said, smiling. I smiled back and kept enjoying my sandwich.

"You know," I said quietly. "You didn't have to teach me how to ride."

"Maybe I wanted to," Peter said, turning slightly pink. We ate in a comfortable silence until Peter asked "Do you want to go adventuring?"

"How could I say no?" I replied, smiling.

Peter stood up and extended his hand. I took it and pulled myself up. we cleaned up our picnic and got on our horses. We rode parallel to my house and into the woods surrounding the meadow. After a few minutes we came up to a lake. We got off Blackjack and Caramel and let them take a drink.

"Elizabeth, do you know how to swim?" Peter asked.

"Yes, but-" I didn't get to finish because he grabbed mr by the waist and pulled me into the water. I screamed happily and dunked his head under the water.

"Oh, you're gonna get it!" Peter yelled when he came up.

He tackled me and we plunged into the water. We came up laughing. This was the most fun I'd had in a while.
