Chapter 5
Percy POV
I woke up, again, in my cabin. And I knew exactly what happened this time. I saved Annabeth. Which reminded me. I quickly sat up and looked around, and saw Annabeth, sitting in the corner of my cabin, looking at a bunch of photos, and I could hear her quietly crying. Damn, I thought, She sure has been worried about me lately. No one would be worried this much unless...no, it can't be. I finally said "So, I guess we are even now?"
She stopped crying, "Damnit Percy! You could of died! Why didn't you listen to me?!" Her voice became a little more angry, but more relieved then anything.
"Ya, but if I didn't, you wouldn't be yelling at me right now." I smirked.
"Percy, please, don't scare me like that."
"Only if you don't."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh please," I said in a sarcastic tone, "When I limped out of my cabin, I saw that you were fixing to have your face chewed off."
"I guess you're right, but-"
"But nothin'. We both are going to have to take risks and you know that, but, we have to look out for each other." She smiled when I said that.
"Well Seaweed-Brain, I guess you're right. Look, I will talk to you later, I'm gonna be late for archery, later." She said on a happy note and started walking out the door.
"Ya, talk to you later!" I called as she walked out of the door. I sat there thinking if she returned my feelings, I mean, we were about to kiss at the movies. And that wouldn't be our first, but the first one was only for luck. I sat there dumbfounded, then remembered the photos she was looking at. I rolled off my bed and crawled towards the photos. I reached out and grabbed one of them. It was a picture of me and Annabeth, with our arms around each other's shoulders sitting on a couch grinning. I smiled. I remember this picture, I thought, this was from my 16th birthday, before I fought Kronos. I thought happily to myself and tried to stand up. I hopped over to my drawer on one leg and put on a fresh set of clothes. Then I grabbed my crutches and limped out of my cabin. The sun blinded me so I quickly shielded my eyes with my hand, letting go of my crutches. "Oh Crap!" I yelled as I hit the ground witha thud.
"Let me help you up." A familiar voice said. I looked up and saw who it was. Grover.
All I could think of to say was, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU LEAVE ME WITH THE MINOTAUR!?"
"I..I was...Uh...I'm sorry... I was scared...and...I'M SO SORRY PERCY!!" He started to do a mix of bleating and crying.
I couldn't stay mad at Grover, he waas my main goat. "Its ok Grover." I said calmly.
"No its not, you could have died."
"Look, Grover, that never would've happened, I mean, I fought frickin Kronos! AND WON! Do you actually think the Pussy Minotaur could've killed me?"
Grover calmed downa bit and wiped his nose. " I guess your right."
"Thats not the first time today." I said.
"Well...I'll see you later."
"Alright, later."
Then after that I limped around and started catching up with my friends. I first went up to Beckendorf.
"Sup Beckendorf." I said.
"Hey Percy."
"So, the battle yesterday was pretty tough right?"
"Yesterday? Percy that was two weeks ago."
"Man I've been out for that long?"
"I guess so." Beckendorf said, he then went back to the sword he was forging.
I sighed then limped off. I was contemplating either talking to Chiron, or Clarisse first. Since the battle with Kronos, me and Clarisse have become good friends. I decided Chiron was more important. I started towards the big house. When I finally arrived I saw Chiron Just sitting at the table, doing nothing.
"Uh, hey." I said nervously.
"Why hello Percy." Chiron replied.
"Um, what was the deal with the dragon yester- 2 weeks ago?"
"Someone had poisined the dragon into which it made it more violent, but, no one knows who did it."
I thought back to what Luke had done my first summer here, letting that monster into the camp borders when we played capture the flag. (Sorry I can't remember what it was) I'm glad Annabeth stabbed that shit-head in the stomach. He deserved to DIE.
"So who do you think it it?"
"Honestly Percy, I don't know, I origunally thought It was one of the Stoll brothers, but when the dragon killed Connor, I started to have my"
"HOLD THE F-ING PHONE!! Connor is dead?!"
"I'm afraid so Percy." He said in a sad tone. I then walked off. One of my friends had died. I thought. I could'nt stand the feeling. I had to talk to my closest friends. Annabeth. Duh.
It took me a while to get over to the archery range. I just hoped to Gods she was still there, and alone. Luckily, she was.
"Hey." I said, and then my eyes started to get all red.
"Percy whats wrong?" She said, dropping her bow and running over to hug me.
"Connor is dead." I said miserably. "Dead."
"Percy, I know its hard, and I know he was one of your close friends, but you of all people should know what being a half-blood is like."
"I...I...I know," I managed to spit out in between my breathes, sobbing at the same time. Its just," I took a deep breath in, and sobbed more, and Annabeth began to hold me tighter. "Thats not what I'm upset about, I just realized," I started to cry even harder, "That could've been you." I then began to sob into her shoulder, I then noticed, she was crying to now. I realized she was still holding on to me. So I returned the favor. That cheered us both up a little. I looked down into her piercing gray eyes, and she looked up into my sea-green eyes.
Our faces were getting closer, and our lips were just about an inch apart when I heard, "Chiron wants all the campers to-" It was Clarisse. "Am I interrupting?" We both pulled away from each other. "Are you sure nothin happened between you two in bed a couple weeks ago?
"Are you sure nothin' is happening between you and Chris?" Annabeth replied. I looked over at Clarisse and she was even redder then us.
"So, Chiron wants us, got it." I said. The the three of us walked off.
