Chapter 9: An old enemy.

(Annabeth POV)

"Annabeth..." I groaned and turned over.

"Annabeth" I pulled my blanket over my head, trying to block out the voice.

"ANNABETH, Get Up!"

"What?!" I said angrily sitting up fast, hitting my head on my boyfriends head. I fell back on my bed, while Percy fell back landing on the floor.

"Ouch..." I heard him mumble.

"Oh no...Percy are you okay?" I asked jumping out of bed and helping him up.

"Yeah, just watch where you hit someone with that big head of yours." He declared with a lopsided grin.

"At least I can use my head." I replied feeling proud of that come-back.

"Ouch. You know I'm actually the one who saves your butt when were in a life/death situation."

"Yeah, but your the one who puts us in those situations in the first place." I replied.

"Okay, I'm going to stop talking now. You'll win anyways." He said slumping his shoulders.

I laughed and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "But I'm glad I was with you." I declared.

All he did was give me a lopsided grin.

"You do know" He said finally. "Those are the best moments."

"And why's that?"

"Because," He stated. "That's when we're together the most."

I blushed looking down. "Hey, where's Piper and Thalia?" I asked noticing that they were currently not in the room.

"Getting food, It's actually noon right now. We're going to leave in about 20 minutes to be on our way to the underworld." He turned around like he was hiding

something.

"Percy?" I asked cautiously. "How do you suppose to get to the underworld."

He flinched and laughed nervously. "Well, uh, you see...A funny story actually...well um, you see-"

"Percy" I cut him off. "How are we getting to the underworld?" I said staring him down.

"I stole a car!" He immediately put his hands over his mouth.

I sighed.

"Would you like to explain?" I said impatiently.

He shook his head desperately.

"Ugh, Well I don't care right now. Lets just get going then." I said giving up.

He blew out a breath of relief and put his hands down.

THIS IS A LINE BREAK:)_

We gathered up Thalia and Piper and walked out the hotel. Our in front was a nice blue pickup truck.

"Perc-" I started but soon got cut off.

"Come on! It's so cool, come on!" He said getting excited as a little kid on Christmas.

I laughed and ran up with him, pretending I was excited about as much as he was. After he gave us a full tour of it we finally could get in. Percy jumped in the drivers

seat. He was about to turn it on, but Thalia hurried and caught the door before it closed.

"What?" He whined.

"Your sick Perce, if you haven't noticed. And I can see that your tired from yesterday, plus I knew you didn't get any sleep last night. So what I'm trying to say is, let

me drive."

"No!" He said with a childish voice.

"Percy, don't make this harder then it has to be..." She said in a warning tone.

"Thalia, Thalia. I'm older then you, I have a license, and more mature." He said smugly.

Once he said his last statement, I knew he was dead. I could see Thalia as she was beginning to lose her temper.

"So Ha." Oops, now he's done it. I thought

Thalia didn't even hesitate as she summend lightning and hit him square in the chest.

"Percy! Thalia!" I said glaring daggers at my best friend. I looked over at Percy. Great, he was passed out.

"What? He disserved it." Thalia said, like it was no big deal.

"Whatever. Piper, can you help me get him in the back seat?" I asked.

"Sure."

We walked over to the driver seat with Piper. I put my arms under his arms and pulled him out. I flinched when his heals hit the ground, he's heavier then he looks.

He will most likely have bruises on the back part of heals, oh well he can handle that.

Piper quickly grabbed his feet and lifted him up. "Whoa, your boyfriends heavy." She said struggling holding him up.

"Yeah well, muscle weight is much heavier then fat." I said referring to his muscles.

"Yeah and you just love his muscles." Piper said mockingly. I blushed a deep shade of red, but quickly recovered and gave her a glare.

Piper just laughed. "Oh alright," she said. "Lets just get him in the back." Already heading his feet to the back seats.

THIS IS ANOTHER LINE BREAK_

Once we got him buckled in I had Piper go on the other side and hold his face up, so I could

shut the door without smacking him.

"Alright." I exclaimed, once we got him all situated. "Thals, lets go."

"Yeah yeah, don't be in such a hurry." She said getting into the drivers seat.

I was about to get in the car, but then I heard something in the trees right by the parking lot. I shut the door and walked toward the russling.

"Annabeth." Piper said warningly.

"Shh!" Shushing her. I was at the edge of the forest, with Piper and Thalia walking towards me with there weapons out.

I reached in to move the branch that was blocking my view. Immediately something black jumped out over my head, scarring me so much I dropped my knife.

"Ahh!" I heard Thalia and Piper scream. I glanced to were they were located and the black thing was right in front of there faces.

"Blackjack!" I exclaimed happily. I ran to him and hugged him around the neck. I really don't like horses, but I love Blackjack. Almost as much as Percy.

"Stupid horse!" Thalia yelled, turning around and stomping to the car.

I sniffled a laugh, while Piper was standing there looking confused.

"This is Percy's horse, well Pegi-, ugh you know what I mean! But he's Percys." I said.

"But how?-"

"How do you think Perce got here?" I stated.

"Oh well, I guess that makes sense..."

"Yeah. Um, Blackjack." I said turning to him. "Percy can't ride you right now, you want to just go back to camp? We got this all handled now." It felt weird talking to

an animal, oh well.

He neighed and took off towards camp.

"Alright lets go." I said, leaving a shocked and confused Piper in the distance.

A LINE BREAK_

We were still on the road. Okay, we've only been driving for about an hour. But it felt like hours with my ADHD. We just crossed over the Colorado border.

Percy I still passed out, dang Thalia. And he was leaning against my shoulder, drooling. I was reading an ancient Greek book that my mother gave me. Piper was

listening to her IPod, leaning her head against the window in the passenger seat. And lastly Thalia was driving, lost in thought I suppose.

"Ughjrifsdu..." Percy mumbled, clearly asleep. I sighed and grabbed he shoulders lifting him up, then setting his head back down on my lap.

"Ajfofvns..." He sighed, more comfortable.

I couldn't concentrate anymore on my book. I set it down and started playing with my boyfriends hair. He's so cute when he sleeps.

All the sudden he snorted loudly.

Piper and Thalia burst out laughing. "Ha, That's attractive." Piper exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, I'm so jealous of you Annabeth getting a man like that and all." Thalia said laughing again.

"Hlesgmda...Annabeth...dhsoajso" Percy mumbled again.

"Haha, he even thinks of you in his dreams!" Thalia said laughing.

But I didn't hear her, I was to focused on Percy. He looked troubled, and he would never call my name in his sleep.

"Surdejfs...No!..." He screamed the last part. Well, now I know he's defiantly having a bad dream.

Thalia and Piper were still laughing at me and Percy, "Y-yeah she sure chose the most a- attractive one, especially when he sleeps!" Thalia laughed out.

"Guys Shut up!" I screamed at them. "He's have a nightmare."

Immediately they did shut up. "Oh..." Piper said.

"We're sorry Annabeth..." Thalia said looking back to the road.

I ignored them and started shaking Percy, trying to wake him up.

"Percy? You need to wake up, okay?" I asked him sweetly.

I saw his eye's flutter open. "Wha?" He asked clearly confused.

"Percy, what was your dream about." I asked again. He got up from my lap and looked at me. He looked surprise to see me, like he just noticed I was there.

"Oh, I there Annabeth." He said rubbing his eyes. Thalia and Piper again were watching the road and listening to music, like none of laughing occurred.

"Percy, what was your dream about."

"What?" He asked, then it dawned on him. "Oh, well it was nothing."

I glared at him, but decided to ignore it and Finnish reading my book.

AN AMAZING LINE BREAK_

"And then Grover's like 'Apples are good, so are shoes!' That's how I ended up with only one shoe at the end of a quest."

Percy, Thalia, and Piper burst out laughing.

"Perce...That...w-was the f-funniest...story ever!" Piper exclaimed between laughs.

I was ignoring them while I was reading my book. Percy was telling them about a quest getting a new camper. During the quest Grover ate Percy's shoe. Not a real

great story, but whatever.

"Annabeth!" I jumped at Percy's voice. Did I mention he was also high on Pixie Sticks?

"Yes Percy?" I asked patiently. Thalia and Piper were giggling in the background, watching us. Mostly why they were laughing so hard, was because Percy was super

high.

"D-did you know-" He started giggling. Yeah, the great Percy Jackson just giggled. "T-that I was part of t-the prank, w-when the Stolls put a bunch of fake s-spiders

in your cabin!" He again started giggling.

I looked away from him, trying to control my anger. I looked back at him with the biggest, cheesiest smile ever.

"Did you now!" I said happily. Percy nodded his head up and down so fast I thought his head was going to fall off.

"Y-yes! Guess what else?" He said excitingly.

"What?" I said with the same amount of enthusiasm.

Piper and Thalia weren't holding back laughter anymore. They were still watching us with great intensity.

Percy looked around making sure no one was there, even though Thalia and Piper were. He leaned close to my ear, his salty sea breath reaching my ear. Even though

he was high on sugar, it still gave me the chills.

"It's about my dream." He whispered quietly. My smile quickly turned into a serious face. I turned and whispered into his ear.

"What about your dream Percy?" I said tensely. He giggled again looking away from me, then he again turned towards me and got his mouth close to my ear to

whisper again.

"I know who's doing all this." He said.

"Who." I asked looking straight forward, ready for anything he suddenly says.

"It's..." He said. He hesitated, like his mind was finally under his control. But as quickly as it came it disappeared, and he continued whispering to me.

I froze. Thalia and Piper were still looking at us still laughing, but once they saw my face they immediately stopped and looked at me intensely.

"P-Percy?" I asked sweetly to him, trying to keep my nerves down. "You want to lay down for a second? If you do, I might give you a kiss once you wake up." I said

bribing him.

He immediately layed down with his eyes closed. After a few minutes, he was out like a light.

I again turned to Thalia and Piper, whom were still staring at me.

"What he say Annabeth?" Thalia said looking for answer.

"He told me what his dreams were about." I said quietly, looking down.

"What were they about?" Piper asked intently.

"He said he knew who was behind all this. The battle and stuff." I again said intently.

"Who?" Piper asked again.

I looked back at them.

"Kronos."

-'Kay I'm finally done with this chapter.

Didn't expect that did you?...Okay, maybe you did but still; Kronos. Is. Back! What are the Demi-gods going to do now?
