Ooohhh, Thank you so much people for the awesome reviews ...
Now, I know that you've been waiting for things to happen, so heres a little twist in the plot.
I hope you like it. Thanks to WiseGirl393 . It's very nice of you to say that :D
Here's Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. Even though I'd like to.
I sat cross-legged at the look-out platform, up in the highest tree in Half-Blood Hill. Aside from Thalia's tree, this chestnut tree was easily the biggest one and it overlooked the beach and the camp.
I was there because It was the only place besides the ocean where I could relax and keep calm; and I wasn't in the mood to see the ocean right now.
Keeping my Yankees Cap on, I hugged my knees and uttered a short prayer of thanks to my mom. I know I never use it unless in battle, but right now, I've got more pressing matters to think about. I wanted to think so I left a note saying Malcolm is in-charge and nothing about my where abouts and the reason I was skipping.
I sighed as I processed everything that was happening today: Connor, acting strangely (well, a bit surprise to that.) Malcolm, hanging out with the stoll brothers (That's Unusual.) And lastly, Lacy and Ashley, the two of my clostest sisters keeping secrets from me.
I felt weak. Not knowing something made me feel inferior. As a child of Athena, I live on knowledge; and not knowing something everyone else knows made me feel weak, and somehow vulnurable. If anyone saw mw in this state, They'd probably think I lost it.
I looked down and surveyed the camp.
It looked peaceful enough. The Ares and Athena Cabin having a chariot race over the tracks; the Hephaestus kids working on the forges; Strawberries growing rapidly under the powers of the Demeter Kids. I saw some Hecate Kids running around, chasing each other with multi-colored balls of flames at hand and I also caught a glimpse of the newbies, being taught how to properly disarm, parry and block by Travis Stoll.
So Percy haven't gotten back yet. Where could he be? Of course, I wasn't getting an answer to that.
One thing really didn't escape ,my notice: The Aphrodite Cabin was MIA.
Normally, if they were around, they'd be cheering the Ares Cabin in the chariot race. I swear, they have the weirdest friendships ever. The Vain ones and the Tough Kids hanging out?Ever since Silena and Clarisse's friendship, they had all warmed up to each other. (Well, I think it's just gratitude that Silena sacrificed herself that had the Ares cabin's respect for the Aphrodite campers.) It's not forbidden I guess but it's kind of awkward seeing them together. But now, I can't see an Aphrodite camper hanging around.
I leaned against the tree trunk. Who knows what Drew is up to? I fell slowly into sleep.
Of course, a dream started.
I was in a dark cavern. Purple curtains served as a divider between entrance the bedroom and the front room. The rooms were lit with torches, giving the room a very mystical glow. Easels of paint, brushes and unfinished drawings littered the floor of the front room.
I was in Rachel's Cave.
I looked around the cave. Of course, I can't touch anything. This was the thing about demigods, dreams are always sucky premonitions, warnings or views of the past. I wasn't sure when this happened, but something told me it was important. I was hearing noises in the bedroom, I took a brave glance into it.
Percy was there, lying casually on the bed, his hands placed casually at the back of his neck.
I felt blood rush up to m head. What was he doing in here? I wanted to scream at him, my brain told me that he wouldn't hear it anyway."I just... I don't know. I don't have the slightest idea of what you are absolutely talking about." Rachel smirked as she looked at her on her mirror.
She had her back on him, facing a vanity table that she had converted into a study desk. With pastel strewn around her desk, She seemed to be sketching something that I can see was a beach, with a picnic blanket spread across the sand. It looked romantic. Rachel twirled her revolving chair to show Percy.
"Hey! I-no fair!" He said as he snatched the drawing away from Rachel. "Now, the surprise is ruined."
Rachel rolled her eyes.
"I was gonna tell her-" Percy started.
Rachel stopped him. "Later on at ten p.m." She continued . "At the beach under the moonlight." She said in a bored note .
"Wait. How'd you know?" Percy asked. "You haven't been spying are you?"
"Oh, please. I'm the oracle. I don't need to spy." Rachel shrugged." I know things"
Percy raised an eyebrow. "How's Annabeth gonna take it then?"
Rachel held up her hands. "Whoa there Cowboy!" She amended. "I didn't say I knew everything. Anyways, I'm more concerned on that part: On how she's gonna take her part. It's not like she's gonna jump up and down."
Percy sighed then plonked back down Rachel's bed."What do you think she'll do then?"
"Well, I won't pretend I know anything, but I do know Annabeth. She'd freak out."
"I suppose. But I've got to finish something first.
Me? Freak out? I thought about it for a second. Well, if Rachel thinks I'm gonna freak out, it's something big or something bad. And based on what Seaweed Brain's face is telling me, it's the latter.
Rachel swiveled her chair around then started to draw again in another sheet of paper.
"Okay then, let's get back to what you were going to tell me again? And keep it simple please? You don't want to bore a person out."
Percy sat up and then faced Rachel's back.
"Here goes nothing." I heard him say. " Hey, look...I'm not gonna say it with your back turned Rachel."
Rachel sighed then twirled her chair around. " Now, what?"
"Will you just stay like that? I'm racking my brains here you know? And you're not in any form of help."
She raised an eyebrow. "Okay, Seaweed Brain, What have you got?"
Blood rose again to my head. I don't really know if Rachel did it on purpose, but it seemed that she was mocking me because I was pretty sure that it would be how I would address Percy if I was in her place.
"Ugh! You're making this so hard for me Rach!" Percy complained.
Rachel just wiggled her eyebrows, a playful smile " Didn't I tell you that I'm never going to make things easy for you?"
Okay, that was just plain mocking. I wanted to cut her into pieces now.
"Okay, Rach. Quit the Annabeth gig." He said, though he sounded so nervous. "Okay, now since I don't know what you're going to do next, I'm going to ask it right out."
He jumped off the bed then slid one knee in front of Rachel. Rachel's eyes bulged as she had both hands covering her mouth in absolute joy. She looked about to cry.I stood there paralyzed, though if I was really beside them, i don't really know if I could do anything either.
Percy held a small blue box in his fingers. Inside it was a shiny diamond ring, about five Karats nesting upon a green velvet.
"Seaweed Brain!" Rachel squeaked through her hands, her voice still somehow mocking me."I'm..., I.
"Well, if you want to really play, I'll give you playtime." Percy smiled, then I was shocked on what he called Rachel next.
"Well, Wise Girl. I've waited for so long to say this: Will you marry me?"
Okay, this isn't a dream. THIS WAS MY SLICE OF HELL. A nightmare.
Neither Percy nor Rachel got to continue their heaven. They we're interrupted by the loudest, most-painful, throat-drying and blood-curling scream.
Mine.
My longest chapter yet :DDDD haha.. anyways, I know, I know. I love percabeth. Now why not shake things up a bit?
