Please, please review. I want to know if I should change anything to improve my story or what I'm doing right.
"Silence Annabeth, he's still conscious," said Chiron, "bring him inside."
I dragged the two of them inside where Grover quickly regained consciousness after moaning a lot about food, but I was still worried about the boy. It looked like he had it his head pretty hard.
After laying him down in the infirmary, I went to talk to Grover.
"Hey, Grover," I said. "Hey Annabeth," he replied glumly
I guess he was bummed about his and the boy's less than perfect arrival. I wanted to try and get some information about what happened.
"So what happened Grover," I prompted.
He took a deep breath and started, "I found Percy Jackson at Yancy Academy a few months ago and sensed that he was really powerful, like big three material, so I contacted Chiron at once. He came down to teach and watch over Percy for the year. We knew that things had gotten bad when a Fury attacked him."
"Di Immoratles," I said. I couldn't believe it that was huge, a Kindly One in a school. They usually were only for Hades's dirty work. "Percy must really be someone special", I said.
Grover continued on, "Yeah well, he killed it and we tried to cover it up by making him think he was hallucinating but it was to late. He was catching on. Then, at the end of the year I went on the bus ride home with and he ditched me before I could tell his mom how bad the situation had gotten. I tracked them all the way to Minotauk Beach, but unfortunately I was followed and by the time I caught up with them the Minotaur was on my tail. He intercepted us when our car was thrown off the road by lightning. *ahem, Zeus*, knocking me out. Percy wouldn't leave Sally and I so he dragged me up the hill and Sally followed. The Minotaur attacked, somehow dissolving Sally into a ball of light, Percy finished the fight off killing the Minotaur with it's own horn."
That's where he started choking up. "Oh Grover," I said. He was obviously pretty shaken up. I decided to leave him and check up on Percy. He had had a pretty hard night.
When I got the infirmary I recalled that Chiron had told me that my quest would have something do with a new camper. Maybe Percy new something about it I rushed over to his bedside, disappointed to see he was still asleep.
A small trickle of salvia had accumulated on the side of his mouth. "Eww," I thought, "He's drooling."
Over the next few days I took care of Percy. I spoon fed him ambrosia and tried to ask him about what was going on. Most of the time he was out cold but once in a while I got a few words in.
Percy had just groggily opened his when I launched a question on him.
"What will happen at the summer solstice," I asked.
"What," he rasped with a look of utter confusion on his face.
I knew I couldn't blame him, after all he had just woken up but I was so desperate for information. I pounced on him again, "What's going on, what was stolen, we've only got a few weeks?"
"I'm sorry, I don't..,," he garbled out.
I would have continued questioning him but just then I heard someone approaching. I quickly shoved a spoonful of ambrosia into his mouth to quiet him. I huffed in frustration. I was getting nowhere with this.
When I heard that Percy had woken up I dropped what I was doing and took off toward the Big House. When I got to the Big House I stood beside the banister on the big wrap around porch and waited for Percy to arrive.
When he did, Grover was at his side trying to explain the past few days' events. I felt kinda bad for Percy, he looked pretty shaken up, not that I blamed this was a lot to take in.
"That's Mr. D," Grover whispered to Percy. "He's the camp director. Be polite. The girl, that's Annabeth Chase. She's just a camper, but she's been here longer than just about anybody."
I felt a rush of affection toward Grover. He said that with a tone of respect in his voice.
"And you already know Chiron…" I saw a flicker of recondition in Percy's eyes.
" ," he cried.
"Ah good, Percy," he said. "Now we have four for pinochle."
Then Mr. D did his standard less than enthusiastic welcome to Camp Half-Blood, which I routinely zoned out of. I start listening when Chiron calls my names and beckons me toward him.
"This young lady nursed you back to health, Percy. Annabeth, my dear, why don't you go check on Percy's bunk? We'll be putting him in cabin eleven for now."
"Sure, Chiron," I replied. "Anything to see Luke," I thought. "No, I don't like him!" Though my heart begs to differ.
I look over to Percy where his sea-green eyes stare at me examining me. Those eyes look like the sea after a storm gloomy and dark but still beautiful." I'm acting like an Aphrodite girl," I scold myself. When Percy saw that I was looking back at him, his face changed to a look of expectance. My eyes flicked down to the Minotaur horn in his hand, and I realize he wanted me to praise him. Ha! As if. Anybody would love the chance to fight the Minotaur. So instead I say the first thing that popped into my head.
"You droll when you sleep," I hear myself say, and I sprint away.
Done! I hope you like it review pretty, pretty please.
