Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns it all. And I can't wait wait to get my hands on The Lost Hero. I'm sure it'll be as good as PJO.
Hey guys, thanks for all your reviews. I thought that since I've built the foundation of this story with the quest and all, I'd like all of u to send some suggestions regarding the story and how u want it to turn out. I'll probably select a few good ideas and implement them in the story. Like, do you want more percabeth in the story? Or what role should Rachel play as the story goes on? and stuff like that. Well here's the third chapter.
Chapter 3 (PJ POV)
I started telling a slightly annoyed Nico about what was going on. After he heard the quest he remained quiet in thought.
"Listen", I told him. "I just have to go and do a few things. Why don't you go and wait outside the camp for me?"
"Sure", he said. "Oh and by the way some guy from the Hephaestus cabin made a new one for me." He showed me a Stygian whistle. That was great. It would be pretty useful on the quest. Although Mrs. O'Leary was nice to me that didn't mean she wouldn't be a monster to others.
"See ya", I said and walked towards the Athena cabin. I tried to sneak here and there but Athena was right, there was no one in sight. So I directly went to the Athena cabin and jumped through one of the windows without making any noise. I made my way towards Annabeth's bunk where she was sleeping. I couldn't help but turn red, I had never sneaked up on her like this before. I was too embarrased to go further so I decided to just drop the plan and head outside.
Then suddenly a voice said, "Percy, what are you doing here?"
I turned around and found Annabeth sitting on her bed staring at me. I couldn't help but blush. She looked different today. Since the war was over, her clothes and hair no longer looked dishevelled. I pretty much looked like hell myself which wasn't helping the situation. I cleared my throat, this was part where I had to lie and I'm not known for being a good liar.
"Listen Annabeth", I started. "Uh Chiron has given me a quest alone and I have to go immediately but I couldn't go without saying goodbye."
Annabeth's eyes were sad. "Well if Chiron says you must go alone then you might as well listen to him."
I was about to leave but I couldn't take it anymore. I buried by head on the bed covers and started sobbing. "I can't go without you, Annabeth."
I could feel her hand go through my messy hair. She drew closer and whispered, "Then why can't I come with you?"
"I don't know", I said. "You just can't." I stood up quickly. "Listen, I have to go now. Good night Annabeth, sleep well."
Annabeth frowned and looked confused. I had to go now. Anything more and I was probably going to become a seashell. Before going I saw a tear fall down her cheek. "Goodbye Percy", she said. "I just..."
But she didn't complete. I'd spent too much of time over here. Nico would be waiting. I quickly walked out of the cabin.
Sorry the chapter was so short. I just meant it to be for Percy and Annabeth only. Chapter four will be coming up very soon.
