Okay so no amount of apology can get me out of this hellfire of not updating for a fucking long time.
But… I apologize. There's just been so much going on including my personal overly dramatic exit of my house to my grandma's house, my grandpa's death, getting yelled at by family members for being inconsiderate, getting yelled at by my teachers for not doing good enough or sleeping in class…
Oh yeah, homework, can't fucking forget about homework... because high school teachers are trying to fry students brain out by assigning 5 fucking project over spring break….
Sorry if I sound angry, but yes… I'm fucking pissed at everything in my life at the moment, but don't worry I don't burden anyone with my problems because they are my problems and what's the point of telling my friends if all its going to do is make them pity me
Okay enough anonymous rant….
I know, it sounds like excuses at this moment, but I really didn't have the urge to update at all, call it writers block if you must, but its reality. And don't worry I'm still continuing this story, but you could say it's on haitus at the moment. Gods.. I hate it as much as you do, I mean this is a partial break in my rule of always finishing my stories
Anyways… I love all you guys, I just checked back on fanfiction today and you were all amazing in your reviews (I'm actually reading them all right now) and it makes me happy :)
Here's a little preview, and if I manage to get time to update in May, I'll replace this note with an actual chapter, but other than that… here's a preview of what I've written so far… and note, this is subject to change if I suddenly feel it's all weird and tacky later
Good luck on testing for those still in high school like me!
Annabeth's POV:
It's been exactly 5 minutes and counting since Percy left me alone.
I knew exactly where I was going… or at least I had a pretty good idea where I was going.
I knew for a fact that attempting to crash this mission alone was suicide and despite my curiosity, I knew I had a high chance of dying if I just went in there alone. Nico and Thalia may have been the best of the best, but in terms of numbers, this terrorist group had them outnumbered by plenty.
"Where the hell are you?!" My earpiece practically screamed in my ear.
I grimaced before answering, "It takes a while to walk from one room to another." From the other line I could hear Chris Rodriguez trying to calm down his wife.
"Well I don't have all day! What happen to the stroke of genius from the day before?!" Clarisse yelled in my ear.
"Like you said, it was a stroke of genius." I hissed, trying not to make that much noise as I disassemble the machinery. "I'm better with papers and planning, working in the field is not my type of work!"
"Well make use of that brain of yours or I'm leaving-"
"Clarisse calm down." Chris began. "It takes tim-"
"Oh no you don't!" Clarisse yelled blared over the earpiece. "I told you to stay home and take care of Caden-"
"He's over at your mom's house, he'll be fine." Chris voice was barely audible compared to Clarisse loud yells.
"I don't care about that!" Clarisse insisted. I was glad that I decided to get a good quality earpiece, because with Clarisse yelling, I could've been found out a long time ago. "You know what happened the last time you were here-"
"But it's my fault!" Chris tried to reason with his wife.
"Not my fucking problem!"
"And you don't even know how to work all the wires to begin with…" Chris added mumbling quietly as if he's not use to talking back to Clarisse.
"I don't-"
"He's right Clarisse, I know a bit about mechanics, but Chris is probably the best person for this kind of job." I cut in before Clarisse could go on another yelling rant.
"ARGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Clarisse answered in a frustrated tone before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. "Percy better make sure he's prepared to get his ass kicked, cause he's getting a fucking ass beating when I see his face again."
"You can tell him yourself later." I tried to sound a bit optimistic.
Clarisse just sighed as Chris's voice came through the receiver, "Annabeth, you have another 15 minutes to wire everything together and we'll rendezvous at location B."
I nodded despite knowing that they couldn't see me, "Tell me what to do."
"Okay, first…" Chris went on giving me instructions as I stored them inside my head, while my hand worked on disabling each piece of machinery through his instructions. Even though Clarisse is the strength of this mission, I was glad that Chris decided to come along. With a profession in machinery, he was a great help at moments like these.
"I got it." I said after he had finished giving me the information.
"We'll surround the exits, all you need to do is shut down all their weapon supplies and resources." Chris added. "Good luck Annabeth."
The line went dead and in that moment, I felt completely alone.
