Percy
'Annabeth never failed to remind me whenever I missed something in my surroundings. I had always been really, really…well incredibly horrible at noticing things around me, especially when I'm angry. But missing a massive, floating, war ship in the middle of a field, surrounded by the people I miss so much? That was a new all time low…..' thought Percy as he cursed himself for being so oblivious for the umpteenth time.
"So as I was saying praetor, these campers have come to represent that other camp, the four representatives are Piper Mclean, Leo Valdez, Jason Grace, and Annabeth Chase." continued Reyna pulling Percy out of his thoughts.
He tried to focus on what Reyna had just said to him. Leo was the one staring avidly at him like he was some god, and Piper was the pretty girl to his left switching her gaze from Annabeth and him, in rapid fire action. Jason Grace, the hero that went missing in his place, the leader of the fifth cohort, and the former praetor stood before him. He had short cropped hair, like Frank, except his hair was blonde. Percy also took note of his electric blue eyes, the same color eyes that his cousin, Thalia had…..
And of course there was Annabeth. He was trying to keep from looking at her for as long as possible. When Reyna said her name, he couldn't help it and he glanced at her. All at once he felt revived and whole again. The missing part of him was finally back. He wanted to run over to her side, but his praetor duties had him rooted in place. 'I'm part of both camps now' he reminded himself. She looked exactly the way he remembered, medium height, slight frame, tan complexion, with long blonde hair pulled back into a hair tie. The perfect surfer girl image was ruined by her stormy gray eyes. She stood stiff and ready, waiting for the worst to happen. Her eyes, daring him to say he forget her. Her fist already balled up, waiting to punch him in the jaw when he did. But of course he didn't forget about Annabeth, in fact, she was the only one he hadn't forgotten, the only proof he had of another life, before waking up in the middle of the woods. When he saw her, he smiled so broadly, that his cheeks hurt. Piper grinned at her, and Annabeth finally relaxed her stiff position as she stepped forward and introduced herself to the Romans.
Annabeth
"My name is Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. We come from Camp Half-Blood of Long Island. We come to team up with those from Camp Jupiter to defeat Gaea." She said confidently. She glanced at Percy beaming at her with that crooked smile of his that she had missed so much, and she couldn't help herself, she smiled the first time in weeks, surrounded by potential enemies, in the middle of a Roman camp in California.
"Ahem, well then, Greeks you are welcome here, as long as you abide by the laws we have in this sanctuary. Romans go back to your activities, this meeting is adjourned. Percy, there is a praetor meeting at 1:00, and lunch is served at noon. Percy, please give your friends a tour of the camp." said Reyna, breaking up the moment, before nodding in Percy's direction and walking back towards camp. "oh and Octavian, don't think your getting away with your little stunt back there, meet me in my office in 15 minutes sharp!" added Reyna when she noticed the augur trying to sneak away from the group. Annabeth watched the boy glare at Percy, before walking sullenly in Reyna's wake.
Just when Annabeth thought that she might overflow with happiness as Percy ran towards her, two campers rushed into the field, weapons ready. One of the campers had an arrow notched, and aimed at Annabeth's heart.
