(Annabeth's P.O.V) 10:25 A.M
"Hey guys, did yall miss me?" was the question I heard. I knew that voice instantly. Then suddenly I got up from the big chair that I had been previously sitting in front of the fireplace and there standing was my amazing Seaweed Brain boyfriend Percy. Black messy hair, beautiful sea-green eyes that sparkled in amusement at my reaction to seeing him standing there, muscle-tanned arms. And to top it all off he wore his famous smile.
In all the years we've come to know each other, he STILL has that annoying, stupidly sarcastic, trouble-maker grin. It used to be so annoying( By which you have no idea how much!), it is a smile that I have put up with for years now.
But now it has become endearing. I rushed towards him, threw my arms around him, our lips crashed together and nothing else seemed to matter to me in the world.
For a moment, I felt like I was seeing him again right after me, Jason, Piper, and Leo landed above the Roman Camp Jupiter, when he first appeared in front of the crowd of Romans. I definitely remember kissing him, what it felt like to have him back and when I got angry and judo flipped him. This moment feels sort of like that.
Then I came back to reality and noticed that everyone else that was standing behind me, was looking at the both of us.
"Go get a room, Chase!".Connor Stoll yelled playfully. Everyone in the room laughed. I looked up into Percy's sea-green irises and he just laughed and said." Well, maybe one day, just not today." He looked over at Chiron as he said that and Chiron just raised one eyebrow up close, to his scalp. The room chorused in laughter once more.
" So why is it that I am requested here today, Chiron? "He asks shoving his hands in his jean pockets, looking at Chiron in his wheelchair.
Chiron answers, breathing heavily as if what he was about to say, was weighing on his chest.
"Well, it would seem that we have quite the issue going on. Percy and Annabeth, everyone here already knows what the issue is, except for the two of you. So, I want to have a private conversation with you both after everyone leaves. So I suggest you both have a seat before I tell you why." He looks at everyone around him and says." You can all go back to your camp activities now. Except for Percy and Annabeth. Stay here, please." Then everyone except me and Percy started to shuffle out the front door of the Big House.
"So why do we need to stay here?" I ask him crossing my arms, once everyone leaves and the door shuts.
"The Gift of Prophecy is being blocked by Python once more and Apollo is, shall we say. deeply troubled. But that's not even half of the bad news" Chiron states grimly.
"WHAT" we both yell at him. He sighs and just rubs the side of his head as if he has a headache.
"But, I thought that Python had been killed thousands of years ago, how the fucking hell is he back and what does Apollo have to do with this?"Percy exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hey!, Seaweed Brain, watch your language," I say turning to face him. I smack him lightly against the backside of his head. I doubt it hurt him very much.
"Sorry guys." He says sheepishly, rubbing his head as if his head actually hurt.
Chiron just raises an eyebrow at the two of us and continues talking as he had been, moments before.
"Percy, Apollo was the god who slew Python and freed the Oracle long ago. We received a message from someone this morning, explaining what happened to cause his disappearance and whether or not this mysterious "person" knows where he is or not. Right as you walked through the door, we had just finished hearing the message. That is why you saw everyone crowding around me when you walked in. But despite receiving and hearing the message, it seems as though he has lost total contact with us, the gods' IMs( Iris messages), mortal cell phones, and other forms of communication as well."
Percy grunted and said sarcastically." Well, that's just great."
Think of how I feel...
"So first off, who's all going, how are we going to be able to track down Apollo if we don't even know where he is and give him help against his old enemy? And besides, what are we going to be able to do against a ginormous snake, second, why do we need to go anyways if all Apollo has to do is shoot him full of arrows and then easily vaporize him. It's as easy as that, isn't it?." I say.
"Yeah, I completely agree with her. What can we do about it, he's a super-powerful all immortal god, we are just a bunch of teenagers. Why do we even need to go help anyways?." Percy adds.
I looked over at him and mouthed "Are you just agreeing with me, just because you're my boyfriend or because I just made a valid point."
He mouthed, replying."Both." Then he silently chuckled to himself.
I sighed, he could be really annoying sometimes, as I have already mentioned.
"And here's the bad news," Chiron mutters.
"What bad news?" I and Percy say in unison, looking over at him.
"We have to go help Apollo because Zeus has turned him, mortal, again." He finishes with what seems to me like a sigh of relief.
"Oh shit, that's... not good at all. " I say to myself aloud. Percy smirks in my direction.
(Ok guys, so this is my line break, umm... I hope all of you are liking this so far. I am hoping that it doesn't sound so boring right now and I know I'm not the best writer in the world, but I try. Just trust me it'll get better, more action, more dialogue etcetera, and all that. *I hope* So stay tuned for more. And sorry if the first chapter was really really short. I will try to make these chapters about 3,000-5,000 words each which is okay for the fanfiction I have in mind. Most people's stories are about that long. At least so I've heard on this website.) This second chapter has 1,121words but I might add more. I don't know, maybe?
Have a great day, yall!- From Tanner69046.
