Chapter 2: It's time to fall in a lake.
Percy pov
I groaned as someone shook me awake, I opened my eyes and what I saw surprised me. Annabeth was shaking me while wearing a pink and white bikini, she smiled mischieviously and layed down on top of me.
"Good morning." she whispered in my ear.
"Morning." was all I managed to get out.
She grabbed my hands and held them just over my shoulders, she put her fingers between mine and held them pinned down. She kissed me over and over again then all of a sudden she rolled off me and was standing next to my bed.
"I'm going swimming, want to come?" she asked flirtaciously. She walked over to the door and looked at me expectantly. "Well?"
I tried to hop off my bed but that definitely didn't work, I had already swung off when I realized my ankle was tied to it with a thick rope. Annabeth was laughing at me loudly and my face heated up.
"What did you do?" I demanded.
"It was the perfect plan. I know you Percy, what you did was predictable. Man I'm good!" she complimented herself.
"Ok, it was brilliant. Can you untie me now?"
"Ummm, no. I don't think I will." she smirked.
She walked out of my cabin leaving me here tied to my bed. Unbelievable. I can't believe I was tricked, I'm 19, I should have seen it coming. I saw riptide on my nightstand and reached for it but it was too far. What now? I looked under my bed and saw a butterknife, hmm when did that get there?
I started to cut through the rope with it, this would take forever!
Annabeth pov
I walked out of his cabin laughing, that was a priceless moment. Just the look on his face, I wonder if he found the butterknife yet. I wasn't looking and ran into someone, we both fell to the ground hard.
"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed. I helped her up, she was definitely from the Athena cabin but she didn't look familar. "What's your name?"
"Cameron," she said nervously.
"Where are you from?"
"England." That explains the accent.
"I've always wanted to go there."
She smiled a little as if there's some inside joke that includes me but I know nothing about. "It is a nice place."
"I'm Annabeth by the way," I said. She didn't look surprised, in fact, she looked at me like we were long lost friends reunited. Like she's known me her whole life... "But it looks like you already knew that."
I noticed that she kept glancing at the forrest nervously "Nice meeting you, I guess I'll see you around." she mummbled.
"Yeah," I said as I started walking away. There is definitely something wrong with that girl. I looked back, she was darting into the forrest and I could've sworn I saw somebody else in there. I put it in my head for later investigation and continued walking.
I made it to the lake and dipped a toe in, it was freezing! I took it out and stared into the water, I remained that way until I saw somebody's reflection in the surface below me. I recognized it as Thalia, she came up right behind me. She wore a sly smile and I realized what she was about to do.
A second before she lunged to push me in I side-stepped, we both knew she was going down as she tottered on the edge. I figured out a little to late that I was in reaching distance, she grabbed my arm and we both plunged into the freezing water.
I swam to the surface and gasped, Thalia did the same a second later. We looked at each other and burst into laughter, we're the two idiots who decide to take a little swim in 30-degree water. Thalia was still wearing her clothes and the little amount of black make-up Artemis let's her wear was running down her face.
"Hey," I chattered.
"Hey," she said back. "I could have planned that a little better, huh?"
"You think?" I said. "Long time no see."
"Umm, Annabeth, can we save the pleasentaries for when we aren't freezing our asses off?"
"Yeah, that would be wise." I laughed.
We climbed out of the lake (which I plan to take revenge on later) and ran to my cabin. We grabbed towels and sat down, teeth chattering, and basked in the warm heat of the cabin. Once we were all dry and not freezing, we continued our conversation.
"No offense but what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I can't come and visit my bestest friends ever every once in awhile?" she asked with mock hurt.
"No. Are Artemis and the hunters here too?"
"Yeah, Artemis had a bad feeling, like something big has happened. We just don't know what." she said seriously.
I bit my lip, this doesn't sound good. "How long will you be here at camp for?"
"A while. I don't know what's going on but I don't like it."
I couldn't resist the mocking smile that quickly appeared on my face. "You taking your lines from soap operas?" I asked. She looked confused. "That was really cliche'."
"Bitch," she mummbled.
I narrowed my eyes, there are a lot of things I don't like being called and that's the worst one. No, that's a lie. The worst is being called a liar when you're telling the truth.
I was about to remark when the door burst open with a furious Percy in it's place. "Annabeth Chase you are so dead!" he yelled.
I'm stopping here because I'm tired and I want food. I don't know when I'll be able to update again but I might be able to this weekend. If not then maybe Monday or Tuesday. Well let me know what you think!
