Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson POV

I couldn't get to sleep tonight because I couldn't help but feel like Annabeth was hiding something from me. Unfortunately no matter how hard I tried I couldn't think of what she was keeping away from me. My mind kept on drifting away until I was beginning to fall asleep.

Seconds before I drifted off into horrifying nightmares, I realized what she was hiding.

"The prophecy!" I yelled out accidently. I don't know why but I really wanted to know.

To find out I tested my spying skills. I left cabin 3 and headed quietly over to the Athena cabin. Before I snuck in through a window I prayed to Hermes for help. Now quietly climbing through a conveniently open window I slowly crawled around the Athena cabin looking for Annabeth's bed.

When I reached there I saw I diary under her bed. Before I grabbed it I thought to myself, am I that evil that I would steal my best friends diary? No matter how much I wanted to my heart said no so I just sat there for a while thinking about what the prophecy could be. After a while of thinking I decided that I just don't care so I got up and left the cabin.

Walking around Camp Half-Blood is difficult at night because of the harpies roaming around. I didn't want to sleep so I packed what I would need for the quest. There was nectar, ambrosia, the shield writ-watch Tyson re-made for me, Riptide obviously considering it was always in my pocket, and my new sword Tidal Wave that like Riptide was one of the few swords that felt perfect in my hands. Looking at it I couldn't help but feel like there was something special about this sword that I don't know about yet.

THE NEXT MORNING

I was sitting on top of Half-Blood Hill waiting for Annabeth to come with Chiron and Argus. To pass the time I took out Tidal Wave and began training with it. I was perfect with this. But something else caught my attention other than the perfect balance and weight of the sword. Every time I slashed with it a wave of water came out of the tip of it. Soon I was able to control what happened to the water when it came out of the tip of the blade. I could make a wave, a whip, a pair of hands to grab my enemy, or I could just stop the water all together. I predicted that if I held back the water for so long that when I released the water it would literally be a tidal wave.

I decided that it was best to keep this information secret for now. I might be able to use the "secret techniques" as a bargain for information for that prophecy. When I sheathed my new favorite sword I noticed that Annabeth was just coming out of the Big House with Chiron talking about something. While Annabeth was telling him whatever it is that she's telling him she was getting really pale. Whatever they were talking about it made Annabeth pale but then a deep shade of red.

When they noticed me watching them they stopped talking like they were talking about me. I became very curious and was determined to figure out what they were talking about. I didn't have time to worry about that now, I had to focus on the quest. First of all where is this new half-blood? What was her name? What did she look like? Woah! Teenage hormones acting up. Besides im pretty sure Annabeth likes me and I couldn't do that to her. By the time I was out of my daze Chiron and Annabeth were right in front of me.

" So Percy, you and Annabeth don't need to travel far. This half-blood is located in New Jersey." Chiron informed us. "Actually you don't even need Argus, all you need is Blackjack. He is more then happy to assist in a quest involving you Percy."

"Thank you Chiron," I said, "What is this half-bloods name anyway?"

"Amy." Annabeth said before Chiron could answer my question.

"Ok well I guess we should be off. Bye Chiron." I said.

"Bye children," Chiron said, "good luck on your quest.

In my head I thought to Blackjack, Blackjack can you give us a ride?

Sure Boss! I hear a voice in my head shout. Before I knew it Blackjack was in front of me telling me to get on. I got on the Pegasus and helped Annabeth up. As we lifted through the air I thanked Zeus for not striking me down while the lack of sleep took me over and I passed out.

AN HOUR LATER

I woke up in front of a school. Slowly sliding off Blackjack I thanked him and gave him a handful of sugar cubes. He screamed in delight and flew off. As I slowly approached the school I could tell this wouldn't be to hard. Well at least not until I meet Amy.

When we walked inside the school, like last time we went to retrieve a half-blood a dance was going on. Hopefully this time the child wouldn't be of a member of the Big Three. I don't think I would have to worry about that though. I mean sure every half-blood Grover has ever found turned out to be a child of the Big Three but that didn't mean anything did it? No.

As we walked into the gym I immediately noticed one girl. She had dark brown hair, unmistakable gray eyes, and she looked perfect. For the first time in my life I was speechless. I can't describe her beauty so I just stared at her. Annabeth was searching for Grover but every few seconds would look at me staring at this perfect girl and would get an angry look on her face then go back to looking for Grover.

We didn't have to search for Grover anymore because he walked up to us.

"Where's the new half-blood?" Annabeth asked with a little anger in her voice like she already knew it was the girl I was staring at.

"She's right over there." Grover said pointing to the exact same girl Annabeth was jealous of.

"Oh great." Annabeth muttered under her breath which I and am pretty sure Grover heard.

We walked up to the girl and asked if we could talk to her in private. She agreed and led us to a semi quiet corner.

"What's this about?" Amy asked in her angelic voice.

"Well you see-" Annabeth started but I cut her off wanting to talk to Amy no matter what.

"Do you know about Greek mythology and stuff like that?" I asked

"Yeah." She answered.

"Well there real and living in the world today." I explained, "and we believe that you are a half-blood or demigod.

"Oh really that's so cool!" She exclaimed, "So who's your Greek god parent she asked me."

"Well, im the son of Poseidon. I am most likely going to judge that fate of Western Civilization on my sixteenth birthday when the Titan Lord Kronos attacks." I explained.

"That is so cool but scary." She said not taking her eyes off of me. "Do you have any idea who my Olympian parent is?" she questioned.

"Well we believe you are a daughter of Athena." I said She jumped up and down excited saying how much she liked Athena. I leaned over to Grover and said, "She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She have a boyfriend?"

"Well…. No but I thought you liked Annabeth." Grover stated.

"No." I admitted, "Im pretty sure she like me but I can't stay away from girls just to protect my friends feelings for the rest of my life.

Grover accepted this and pushed me over to Amy.

"Hey." I greeted her trying to act casual even though I am pretty sure Annabeth is within ear shot.

"Hey." She replied smiling from ear to ear.

"Do you wanna go out with me?" I asked really fast trying to get it over with.

"I thought you would never ask." She answered still smiling but this time moving closer to me standing on her tip-toes and kissed me on the cheek.

I could tell Annabeth was pissed because she wouldn't talk to me on our whole way back to camp. I rode on Blackjack with Amy but secretly telling Blackjack how she is my new girlfriend. Grover was talking to Annabeth on the other Pegasus while she looked close to tears. I felt bad but I am not going to take away my happiness just because Annabeth has a little crush on me. Even if I knew I would always feel the same way about her somewhere deep within me.
