Hi guys! Here's the next chapter...I do hope you like it!
I woke up early the next morning, still thinking about the boy with the sea-green eyes. Percy Jackson. I cant say that I wasn't intrigued by him at all, he was kinda mysterious and I was kinda confused as to how he could hide in the sea. I was still guessing that he was a demi-god, my age but I had been to camp for years now. When I ran away with Thalia at 7 years old I was an all year rounder but since I was 12, I came to camp every summer and sometimes in the other school holidays. But whoever Percy was, I guessed he had been to camp for quite a while as he seemed to know about the harpy's and where the beach was and all. But how could I have not seen him?
I heard the sounds of my brother's and sister's getting up and getting dressed and I got out of bed reluctantly. I picked up my Camp Half-blood T-shirt amd I got a pair of my favourite denim skinny jeans and I went to the bathroom to have a shower and get dressed. I dried my hair with a hairdryer frowning at how curly it was after I had my shower. I dragged a brush through it, attacking my hair vigorously eventually giving up and I tied it back in a high ponytail. I looked in the mirror. A blond girl with kinda curly hair, tanned skin and fierce grey eyes stared back at me.
"Annabeth Chase." I said. "You are going to forget about whoever that boy is and get a grip on yourself!"
I tried to forget but I just couldn't. My mother was the goddess of wisdom and I had a sharp memory which meant that the green-eyed boy was not going to get out of my head quickly. Maybe the whole thing was a dream? I knew that It wasn't but what if it was?
"Yes, that's it." I said to myself. "It was a dream and only a dream. I'll just pretend It never happened and I have no idea who it is."
"Err, Annabeth?"
I turned around and I found myself face-to-face with Malcom, my second in command. I thought that I was alone in the cabin but I had completely forgot that Malcom was there. He had grey eyes like me, but they were flecked with blue aswell. He also had dark brown hair unlike me with blond hair.
"Um...yes?"
"What were you talking about?"
"Err...nothing!" I replied quickly. He looked at me unbelieving but thankfully let the subject drop.
"Ok...Im going down to have breakfast, you coming?"
"Yep." I replied noticing how hungry I was. We went out the cabin and headed down to eat.
After I finished my breakfast which was scrambled egg with a runny yolk and buttered toast, I started to make my way to practise rock climbing. I was about to head down when I saw Thalia heading the same way.
"Thalia!" I called. She saw me, grinned and headed over.
"Hey Annabeth!" she greeted. "You going down to practise rock climbing?"
I nodded. We went down together when suddenly I thought I heard a rustle behind me. I turned sharply but I saw noone there. I frowned thinking I had just imagined the noise and I turned back to start practising when I thought I saw a pair of green eyes...sea green eyes. I blinked and they disappeared.
Was it...? Nah, It couldn't be. It was dream remember? I internally scolded myself. I mean...it was a dream...right?
"Are you okay?" asked Thalia, startling me out of my thoughts. "You look like you've just seen a ghost!"
"Oh...no, I'm fine...I guess..."
"You sure?"
I nodded. She shrugged and I sighed. Together, we started to practise rock climbing and for the time being I forgot about about what I'd thought I'd seen as I was concentrating more in not falling in the lava below me.
"Hey Piper" I greeted my friend later on when I went down to the woods later that day by the river. She was sitting down on a stone gazing at the dryads and satyr's playing. Piper was the daughter of Aphrodite, goddess of love. She had luscious brown hair and kaleidoscopic eyes that always changed colours. She was honestly gorgeous even though she tried to hide it. She cut her own hair, trying to make it choppy and normally braided it with feathers and she also refused to wear make up but she looked even more beautiful because of that.
"Hi Annabeth!" said Piper smiling warmly at me.
"How come your not y'know in your cabin or training?" I asked her. "I mean I didn't expect you to be here, I thought you were with Silena."
"I was but she had a date with Beckondorf so I came here. I mean...I love this place. Don't you?"
I gazed around at where we were. We had a good view from here so we could see the satyr's chasing the dryads. The river was peaceful and was moving gracefully aswell. Flowers and various other plants of every colour grew new us and you could hear the birds tweeting. It really was a beautiful place.
"Yeah...It sure is."
Suddenly we heard a crack behind us and we both turned sharply. Standing there was Jason with a sheepish smile on his face. Jason was Thalia's younger brother. He had bright electric blue eyes like her and blond hair. He also had a scar on his bottom lip but he never mentioned how he got it.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" he apologised.
"It's Ok." I replied. I looked over at Piper and she was blushing, her cheeks rosy. Jason was too. They both had fancied each other for ages but were too scared to admit it. Sensing the fact that I should probably leave these two lovebirds alone, I stood up.
"Well...I'd better get going then" I said to them.
Piper and Jason immediately started to protest.
"Why so soon? Stay for a bit longer!"
I figured that they didn't want to be left alone, probably because they were too shy of each other.
"No, I promised Thalia I would practise sword fighting with her. Have you seen her?" I asked Jason.
He nodded. "Yeah, she was in our cabin the last time I saw her. But-"
"Thanks! I'd better go now and leave you two lovebirds alone! See ya!" I teased. They were both blushing even more now and before could protest, I walked away leaving them alone. When I looked back I saw them both, gazing into each other's eyes. Cute.
I reached the sword fighting area and I looked around, waiting for Thalia. She wasn't in her cabin when I checked So I guessed she was on her way here and I stood waiting. Eventually, I'd figured she had forgotten and sighed. I looked around and I saw Malcom looking bored.
"Hi" I said to him. "Y'wanna practise sword fighting?"
He grinned when he saw me. "You bet!"
We started fighting, rolling over avoiding moves, dodging, striking, trying to get the other down. I was beginning to back him into a wall when suddenly I saw something that caught me off guard. A sudden flash of green eyes and dark hair. Malcom hadn't noticed and took advantage of the fact I was distracted and began to strike. Right at the last minute I noticed and I countered the move causing him to fall to the ground. I had my sword tip near his neck.
"I win." I said gleefully then I took my sword away and helped him up using me free hand. I looked around but the green eyes had disappeared. Had I imagined it? Was it real?
"No fair!" said Malcom. I stuck my tongue out at him and he grinned. We stood there for a minute panting waiting for our heart rate to get back to normal. I carried on thinking about what I saw. Was it Percy? I figured It wasn't a dream and I looked over at Malcom who was still panting. He was an all year rounder unlike me...If Percy really was a demigod, then he'd probably seen him before. I considered asking him If he had when suddenly I saw Thalia.
She was heading towards us, her eyes shining.
"Hi Annabeth! Hi Malcom!" she said coming over too us.
We smiled at her.
"Umm, Annabeth, can you come take a walk with me?"
"Ok..."I said, confused. I looked back at Malcom. "See ya."
"Bye." he replied.
"You forgot to practise with me." I said to Thalia. I wasn't really angry at her but Thalia normally kept her promises so I wanted to know what she was doing then.
"Sorry!" she apologised. "I was about to come over to practise with you, honestly, but then I had an Iris message and I got distracted"
"It's ok." I replied. "Who did you get an Iris message by?"
"My cousin. He said that he meet us here at Camp."
"What Nico? But he's already here!" I said confused. We had seen him in the Hades cabin when we passed it.
She shook her head.
"No, not him. A different one. He said he would be here but he needed to talk to Chiron first. I'm excited to see him, I haven't' seen him since I was 12!"
"Cool! I didn't know you had another cousin, I thought it was just Nico and Bianca!" Bianca was still a hunter of Artemis so Thalia didn't see her much since she was mortal again and Bianca was also Nico's older sister.
"What's his name?" I asked.
"Percy. Percy Jackson."
And I'll leave it there! So Annabeth wasn't dreaming...
Next Chapter is when Annabeth officially meets him and I wonder what'll happen...Actually I know what will happen since Im the author so you'll be wondering instead!
