Heya everyone! I'm back, and I know the last time I updated was last year but hey, bygones, am I right? xD Jk Verse of the Day:
2 Corinthians 4:8
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair."
Read on!
Annabeth's POV
I wish I could tell you I slept soundly, or that my dreams were just that, dreams. Had a wonderful, happy night of sleep, but if I told you that, I'd be a lier. I dreamt about home.
~~~DREAM WORLD~~~
Percy was walking toward my cabin, and he had a letter clutched in his hand. He knocked on the door, and when there was no reply, he opened the door. He peeked his head in, and all he saw was Annabeths' book on her bed.
"Annabeth? You in here?" He called out.
No reply. He closed the door and started asking around. No one had seen her in an hour or two. Pretty soon, he had searched the entire camp.
"Chiron, I've searched everywhere, she's not here!" He told Chiron.
Suddenly, Malcolm burst into the room.
"Guys, I'm assuming you don't know where Annabeth is?" He asked, out of breath, we both shook our heads, "Well, I think I found her, " he held out the Lord of the Rings book. "This was lying open on het bed, and I saw her name in it." Percy started to read but Malcolm slammed it shut, "No! If you read it, and it hasen't happened to her yet, whatever you read WILL happen. " he said forcefully.
"But we won't know for sure if it's her or not." Percy pointed out.
"And if it is her and we read that she dies, then what? It WILL happen. We can't take that chance."
"Malcolm is correct, if that is her, then we must leave it up to her to get back." Chiron stated sadly.
Percy hung his head, and walked out of the room.
Then the scene changed.
"Annabeth, is that you, I have been trying to contact you for awhile now!" Said the most unlikely of people.
I just stared at him, my mouth wide open."Tha- that's not possible!" Was all I could manage to say.
"I'm afraid it is, it is just a low level if communication, possible between worlds." He said, "Anyways, I 'came' to help, I know you don't know how to get home." He continued.
"Time out, let me wrap my head around this. I'm stuck in... Wherever this is, and you came to help me get home. You?"
"Hecate sent me, said something about not explaing to you how to use tour new power." He said.
"HECATE! That explains it! So Hecate sent you to help me get home because she neglected to explain to it me, am I right so far?"
"Yep, but, try not to get too vocal about the fact that she didn't explain anything, she can still get even when your out here- uh oh, Annabeth, you're waking up, I'll explain tomorow night-" he was cut off because I was almost awake, and the last I saw was the face of Luke Castellan.
~~BACK TO REAL WORLD~~~
Annabeth woke to the sound of knocking. The sun had just risen over the horizon, so it was early. When she opened the door she saw the girl who had helped her with her hair last night standing there, smiling.
"I thought I might bring you this," she held out a small basket with string and a needle or two in it, "so you can fix your clothes. I didn't think that when you leave in a few days you would want to be wearing a dress." She said happily, "You didn't sleep well?" She asked
I looked in a mirror. I looked like I had been crying all night. My eyes were slightly red, with dark circles under my them.
"Bad dream." Was all I said
"Ah, may I?" She nodded her head, asking for permission to enter. I stepped aside and she set the string on my night stand.
"I never asked, what is your name?" I asked.
"Freya, and you are Lady Annabeth, correct?"
"You can just call me Anaabeth." I replied with a smile.
"Ok, Annabeth." She also smiled, and grabbed my now clean, dry clothes, and started to sow the cuts shut on my shirt.
After I had gotten dressed for the day (I had gotten back into my regular camp shirt, which no longer had blood and cuts and dirt on it,and jeans with my knife strapped to my belt) Freya told me how to get to the dining hall, so I was able to keep from getting lost. Not many people were there. I grabbed an apple, and headed over to Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli.
"Morning." I said as I sat next to Legolas. I tried to sound cheerful, but I couldn't get the memory of my dream out of mind.
"Good morning Annabeth." Legolas greeted me. He seemed more cheerful then usual. "You look exhausted." He continued in a worried tone.
"I'm fine. Just a bad dream." I insisted. "Hey, if you need me, I'll be outside, just getting some fresh air." I then got up and walked toward the door. I walked out and sat on the palace steps. It wasn't long before Legolas showed up, and sat next to me. (A/N: this is Legolas POV)(After she left, he watched her go, and when she was out of sight, he looked at Aragorn and said, "Should I-"
"Yes." Aragorn answered before he could finish. Legolas got up, grabbed her apple she had left and went after her.)(A/N: Back to Annabeth now)
I sat on the steps outside the throne room looking at the vast regions of Rohan, andit wasn't long before Legolas came out and sat next to me.
"It was more then the dream, wasn't it?" Legolas asked.
"If you are referring to the kiss last night, that wasn't it, it was just the dream." I responded.
"Ok... What did you dream about?" He asked.
"Home. They just found out I'm gone." I said, leaving out the part about Luke. "They're worried." I continued.
"Surely they had noticed sooner, it has been two days now. And it was just a dream." He tried to reassure me.
I shrugged. He held out an apple, the apple I left on the table, and smiled. I started laughing, and took the apple.
"Thanks." Was all I said after I finished laughing.
"You are welcome." He replied smiling.
"We'd better get in there, in case they're about to have a meeting about... All this." I stood up and offered him my hand.
He took it, and hauled himself up, "You're right. Let's go." He gave me a kiss then walked inside, hand-in-hand.
When we got inside, Gandalf was saying to Theodin, "Ride out to meet them."
Theodin shook his head, "No, we are too few in numbers, it would be suicide."
"Then what do you suggest?" Gandalf inquired.
Theodin thought for a moment, "Helm's Deep."
"This army was bred for one purpose, to break into Helm's Deep, you must stand and fight." Aragorn said.
"Last I checked, I was king of Rohan, not you." Theodin said.
"Aragorn's right though, you let the worm-tongue guy go, right? Well, he probably went straight to Saroman, and he knows everything about Helm's deep, even it's weaknesses, so now Saroman also knows it."
"What are you even doing here? This is the job of men." Theodin asked.
"I was chief strategist in my last war." I pointed out.
"What is the king's decision?" Gandalf asked.
10 minutes later
"We head for Helm's deep, do not burden yourselves with treasures, take only what provisions you need." A guard yelled out to the town.
We (Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and I) headed toward the stables discussing plans.
"On the 5th day, at dawn, look to the east." Gandalf was saying as he mounted. Aragorn nodded at his instruction, and Gandalf kicked his horse into a gallop.
And now we get to the part of the show where Larry sings, a silly song.
"Oh, where is my hair brush?"
