A/N: The beginning is a fight scene and I can't write those. Oh, and sorry for using harpy too much. It is what it is. And remember this is a fanfic so I could kill anyone and everyone at any moment. Enjoy!
Annabeth's Pov:
We woke up the next morning to a harpy attack. I rushed upstairs to see Leo, Coach, Percy, and Jason fighting the monsters. Jason flew up into the air and stabbed a wailing harpy in the gut. 1 down about 30 more to go.
"Annabeth!" Coach exclaimed ducking a harpy strike. "I'm going to wake the- Gah!" He fell on the floor the harpy closing in on him. In one swift movement, I jumped and easily decapitated it.
"See. I killed it!" He exclaimed. I smiled. "Anyways as I was saying I'm going to wake the others."
I ran to join Percy while Coach ran to wake Piper and the others. We were probably the best trained on the ship and worked even better together. My best bet of saving the ship and survival was him. I slashed a harpy that was attacking Percy from behind down its eye so it was blinded. I reached into my pocket for my invisibility hat but I had left it on my bedside table. I mentally cursed myself. I slid into position back to back with Percy.
"Hey," Percy said sliding to the left to avoid a harpy strike then coming back.
"Hi." I tried to stab at the harpy I had wounded but it flew up just out of my reach. I reached to the left and struck at another one. I focused all my attention on the wounded harpy which was a mistake on my part. Another harpy scratched at my cheek.
"Ah!" I knelt clutching my cheek. Poison. It wasn't extremely harmful or anything I realized that later. It was like doctor thorns spikes, made to harm not kill. But it produced the same pain as real poison. I wasn't sure why until I remembered we were wanted alive not dead. Percy instantly whizzed around a few scratches on his arms. His eyes flickered over the scene quickly assessing it. He Jabbed at the harpy that had hurt me and it exploded into golden dust spraying us both.
"You okay?" He asked glancing around. Most of the harpies were dead there were only about five left. One battling Jason, one Leo, two fighting Piper, and one frank. Hazel ran up the stairs and quickly engaged in battle with one of the ones Piper was fighting.
"Yeah," I said. He offered me his hand and I took it gratefully. Cautiously, I removed my hand from my cheek and saw that it was coated in blood.
"Let's get you to the infirmary."
-Line break-
I followed him downstairs and sat on one of the sickbay chairs.
"What am I supposed to do? That gash is pretty big." He turned around a bandage in one hand and a flask of nectar in the other and big goofy grin on his face. I laughed. I could always count on Percy to be there for me even if we did just have a giant argument.
"How do you heal a normal wound?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Gee didn't know this was a med test. Am I gonna be a doctor if I answer correctly?" He knelt by my chair and poured some nectar on my cheek.
"It is now and no probably not. What happens when a monster attacks you in the middle of a surgery?"
"Umm. You do the surgery on the monster."
I laughed again. "Definitely that's what you would say."
"What do I do now?" He walked to the cabinet. I was fairly sure he knew what to do as he spent a fair amount of time in the infirmary. Mostly being a patient but he still observed Will and how he was helping injuries. He probably wanted me to be distracted.
"You cry at the realization that you'll never be a doctor."
He stuck his tongue out at me.
"Immature!" I rolled my eyes but stuck my tongue out back at him all the same. He knelt by me again and gave me a square of ambrosia. And began cutting and putting a long plaster on my cheek.
"I know you are but what am I?" he stated. Percy looked up and stared into my eyes pulling me away from my witty response. His sea-green eyes looked as if they shifted and moved with the waves. They were unnatural but somehow stunning and unique.
"Woah! Bonding moment!" Leo walked in and put his hands up in surrender.
"Shut up!" Percy and I said in unison both slightly blushing. He has a girlfriend! I scolded myself. That's not you. I mentally added. Was I falling for him? No, I couldn't be. I had just been a day since I got my heartbroken\ and falling for him this fast again wasn't good for either of us, me especially. But couldn't one hope... I left that thought alone for now.
"Yeah. Annabeth ready to leave? Pipers waiting on the top deck. Oh, you might want to get changed both of you." I looked into the mirror and saw that he was right we were both a mess. My hair was like a blonde birds' nests and I was covered in gold dust. Percy looked a bit better though not by much. And we were both in our Pyjamas Percy's only armor a bronze chest plate.
- Line break-
I stood on the top Deck with Piper ready to go. Leo and Hazel had just left a few moments before. As soon as we were ready, we left and set way north for a town. A few steps into the forest we saw a bright blinding white light. I shared a look of worry with Piper and together we sprinted towards it. It wasn't far away just a few minutes of running to the left. Nothing too hard for me but for Piper... It's just natural for me to run long distances without getting out of breath that's the result of 5 years traveling with Percy Jackson. We looked around but couldn't see anything yet.
"Over here!" Said a posh voice. It was familiar I just couldn't place it. Piper and I walked over to where the voice was coming from. When we arrived, there was a table and 3 chairs with beautiful delicacies on the platters. There was nobody there though. In front of me and Piper, an explosion of rose petals and designer perfume happened. When all the girliness subsided a beautifully indescribable woman stood in its place. Aphrodite.
"Sit. Sit!" She said. Again, out of anyone Aphrodite?!
A/N: Lucky you. Two long chapters in one day?! You should thank me. I'm kidding. Thank you guys for everything. May not post lots next week as its my birthday. Then again both my parents are working and my friends probably;ly don't care and I haven't got lots of homework so you may get lots of updates. Who knows? Please review. Or don't it's your choice. But I would prefer the first potion. Ok bye!
