Percy POV
After dinner Annabeth and I walked back to her cabin in silence. The good kind of silence. We were both thinking. I glanced at Annabeth and saw the little crease between her eyebrows form and I knew she was trying to think of a solution.
"You know," I said finally "I really hate my dad too."
"I guess to the gods we're just rebellious teenagers. We always will be. Stupid immortality." Annabeth said.
"I have an idea though." I said timidly, not knowing how Annabeth would feel about it.
"Well, are you going to tell me?" Annabeth asked standing in front of me and crossing her arms forbidding me to walk any farther.
"Well, what we were talking about earlier, it made me think" I said vaguely.
"What were we talking about earlier?" Annabeth asked tilting her head.
"Will you- just let me finish" I said smiling, "What if we got Chiron to take the whole camp to Greece?"
"Oh that earlier!" Annabeth said returning my smile. "That would be fun, sort of like a reward for winning the war with Kronos"
"Yeah" I said taking her hand and leading her to her cabin it was almost curfew and I had to get back.
"Percy?" Annabeth asked as I stopped at the door to the Athena cabin. "Why were you so worried to tell me that? I think it's a good idea."
"Well, that's not my whole plan" I admitted stuffing my hands in my pockets attempting to look innocent.
"What's the rest of it?" Annabeth asked I opened my mouth the make and excuse but I was cut off, "Percy Jackson don't you dare complain about curfew, you fought frikking Kronos do not tell me you're worried about getting caught."
"Fine, well you're smart enough to realize that it's only a matter of time before Poseidon and Athena find another excuse to keep us apart." I said, she nodded in agreement encouraging me to continue, "Well, once we're in Greece we can find a way to sneak off and explore. I was thinking maybe what we need is to get away from our parents, them being gods it's hard, but there is one place they can't see."
"Somewhere that is only allowed to be looked over by one goddess, because it's her birthplace" Annabeth finished for me
"Exactly, Aphrodite was born in Kythira, and Aphrodite is pretty much the only one that would actually protect us from our parents." I said.
"They would be suspicious though, what would we say?" Annabeth asked.
"We can either say nothing and hope they don't figure it out or fake our deaths." I said quietly.
"Oh my gods, can we just not say anything?" Annabeth asked, "It's not like it's forever? Just a little while then we can say we got captured or something"
"We can talk about it tomorrow. First we have to get Chiron to take us to Greece." I said hugging her tightly and walking back to my open air cabin.
Oh gods why must you be so nosey? I thought and drifted off to sleep
