I do not own PJO or HoO or any of their characters
Annabeth POV
"What just happened?" "I don't know but it feels like the gods are messing with our lives again" "Probably." At that Lord Hermes appeared, "How rude, accurate, but rude." "Lord Hermes, forgive us. But what happened?" "So… there's this new god… and he decided to take away the mist." There was a collective gasp as we realized what that meant.
Percy speaks up, "So the mortals know about our world?" "Correct." "Do they know about… us specifically." "We have informed them about the distant past but not yet about your quests. " I accidentally thought out loud, "What if we don't WANT people to know about us?" "Well… Zeus agreed you could decide when and how you tell people but it has to happen soon."
"Alright." "Well I gotta go so…" We nod and avert our eyes. "Oh one more thing, out of respect the fallen will not be named." Again there is a flash and Hermes was gone, I figured not naming the dead was his idea. For known reasons. Suddenly a pair of arms are wrapped around me and I tensed before realizing it was Percy and turned around to bury my face in his chest.
We just stand like that for a while until, "Wise girl, everything will be fine but for now lets just go inside okay? Your freezing and I'm hungry. So why don't we do ourselves a favor and go inside?" "Sorry. It's just…" "I know baby, I know."
A few hours later
I walk into the living room after my nap and find Percy passed out on the couch, his hand in a bag of chips, TV still on, and drooling. I laugh as he wakes up when I turn the TV off, "What… why did you turn that off, I was watching it!" "Uh-huh. I'm sure you were." "I was! It was a really good movie about fish." "Finding Nemo?" "Maybe." "Well sorry to burst your bubble but you were watching an old nature chanel documentary."
"Oh." "Why don't we go watch a movie in my room, that way if you fall asleep again the others won't see you drooling." "Hey!" "Oh you know I'm right. Don't act so offended." "Whatever." "Aww… you know you love me." "...Yeah…"
Nico POV
Ok… school sucks. I don't care what Annabeth says, I agree with Percy. It's terrible. I mean the entire school thinks I'm an emo. Someone asked if I thought Thalia was hot. I just laughed and said she's my cousin. I mean seriously everyone thinks I'm some lonely loser. As if! Although I do wish Will could be here, I'm not lonely.
At school, Monday
Honestly why am I here? I mean I already know more than most mortals and it's not that great. Plus in the mortal world you can't talk about anything. "Hey emo dude!" I grit my teeth, "What do you want, Adrian?" Adrian, the guy that's been calling me some lonely emo loser. Not my favorite person but he's mortal, I can't harm him or whatever.
"Do I have to want something?" "Yes or else get out of my face." "What are you gonna do about it? Loser." "You wanna-" "Nico!" Annabeth interrupts, "If you get into a fight I'll have to call Reyna. Maybe even Will." "You wouldn't." "Wanna bet?" "Who's Reyna? Your girlfriend?" "No! Gods no." "Ha! So you want her to be."
"Not really- Will would kill me. Although I don't think he has it in him to hurt anyone." "Who's that?" "...my significant annoyance." "Your significant what?" Annabeth tries to keep a straight face, "How long did it take to come up with that one Neeks?" "First, don't call me Neeks or I'll call you Annie. Second, we don't talk about that here and you know it."
A/N: alright I didn't have time to finish this and I probably won't next week either. I'm moving so this isn't really my top priority hence I'm going on a 2-3 week hiatus. Hope no one is too mad at me!
