Location: Camp Half-Blood, Percy's AND Melissa's cabin.
Percy's POV
As dinner was finished and every one was over their own reactions we all retreated to out cabins. I was walking by Melissa who was still trying to figure out camp and her way around it. I showed her to our cabin because she took a few wrong turns. I opened the door and said "Ladies first!" As she walked in she was thunderstuck by what she saw. She was amazed by how the cabin looked. "Wow, this is the most amazing place ive ever seen. I mean if you would clean up after yourself every now and then and this would look much better but still... WOW!"
I was a little bit embarrassed becuase she was right I was to busy to clean even a little bit. "Oh yeah sorry about that I have been ... busy." She studided the inside even more. She checked the two bunkbeds in each corner. One in the upper left the other in the upper right. "So, which bunk do you sleep on?" she asked curiously. "Over there" I replied pointing to the bunk in the upper right corner. "Bottom bunk." I added.
She settled down and unpacked. She was sleeping the upper left bottom bunk. The two beds werent really spread far apart. As I helped her we started talking about people here and some of my firends. Everything was going fine until she mentioned something I didnt want to talk about right now. "So ... is there any one here you like? Or are you already dating some one?" I didnt know what to say but I guess I had to give her an answer.
"I just recently broke up with a girl. Her name was Annabeth. Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena. I dont really know who dumped who but all I know is that me and her are done." I replied. "Really?" she asked. She really seemed interested in this. "So what exactly happened that caused you guys to split up?" Wow this girl was as nosey as a child of Aphrodite. "It pains me to say it but... I found her cheating on me in the woods with a guy named Axel, a son of Apollo. I was so mad and just filled with anger. All I did was confront her about it and rand back to my cabin trying to forget the things that just recently happened. It happened about two weeks ago. Im mostly over it but I have to admit Im still a little angry."
Melissa just seemed to pay close attention until she looked up and sighed "Well that must suck." She was right it isnt the best feeling in the world to see you girlfriend stick her tognue down another guys throat. "So what about yourself? Anyone at camp you seem interested in?" I questioned. She snorted "Are you kidding there so many cute guys here and I dont know any of their names." Wow this one really comes out of her shell quickly. "Hmm well I do have to admit some of them can be complete jerks. Dont fall for any of the Aphrodite boys to you they may seem cute but I hear mostly all of them aren't loyal to relationships." The conversation carried on and then subjects changed as we talked until it was time to hit the hay. I rolled over to the other side of my bed and fell asleep. Suprisingly I had no dreams I was exhausted so I fell very deep in sleep.
The next day was the day to start getting Melissa ready for training. When I woke it was still very early out. It was 6:23 A.M. I looked to the other bunkbed beside mine and saw Melissa gone. I got up and got showered then dressed. I went to head out to see where Melissa ran off to. First I checked the big house but she wasnt there. Soon after a while of checking it hit me and I felt compeltey stupid. "The beach you idiot." I thought to myself.
After I went to the beach there she was on the dock with her legs dangling over the end staring into the vast ocean. "Pretty amazing isnt it?" I questioned. She jumped. "Oh its you ... yeah in fact its an even better sight than our cabin. Especially when the sun is just rising." She agreed. I sat down beside her and stared with her. After what seemed like hours of just staring she put her hand on my back and pushed me in. "HEY!" I shouted. She just burst out laughing. I just used my power to propel myself upwards like a jet. Then I yanked her in along with me and started laughing at her. "PERCY! Oh wait ... I dont feel wet?" she asked very suprised. " Yeah ... you do realized our father is Poseidon right? We have some of his powers of them is the ability to make ourselves dry or wet while in water. We can also talk to fish, manipulate water, and breathe underneath it." she was amazed at all the things I told her. "But there is a downside..." her facial expression changed "We cant fly in the air or else we would be barbecued my one of Zeus's lightning bolts. That is unless if we ride a pegasus, becuase its a horse and horses were made by Poseidon himself." That seemed to lighten her expression.
"Alright its time to show you to your training." she seemed to be very eager by that and she ran off to get ready. As I was running after her to make sure she didnt get lost I bumped Into someone holding a stack of papers. "Ah! Whatch where you're going!" She then looked up and noticed me "Oh Percy uhm hi." When I realized it was Annabeth I just helped get her papers off the ground and handed them back to her and ran off after Melissa. Leaving Annabeth mumbling to herself. God what were the odds of that happeneing I dont want to even talk to her until I forgive her. Which was going to take alot of time. She didnt even seem to be upset about what happened with her and Axel.
I think they are still dating but some of the campers are very mad at them for ruining things.
As I got to the cabin I saw Melissa getting ready she was in the shower. I got geared up and put Riptide into my pocket. I waited on Melissa to get ready who was still trying to get geared up for todays activities. On our way out we saw all the campers getting out of their cabins yawning and some complaining. I showed Melissa the sword training area. Which she really wasnt very good at sword fighting. "Oh the gods!" she complained "This is pointless I cant do even the basics without screwing it up." She just complained over and over again. "That okay no need to whine" I was cut off by her yelling in my ear "Im not whining!" sheesh shes also short tempered... soemthing like an Ares kid. She was just a jack of all trades wasnt she? "Its okay maybe sword fighting isnt your thing. How about archery?" I showed her the archery range she was okay at it but it just didnt fit the bill for her she still was very bad. However she was better than me I would give her that I just suck at it.
"Okay so I am not good with sword or archery? What could I use in battle?" she interrogated. I had no answer so I just shrugged. "Hey Percy come here for a minute." The voice was Grover yelling my name."In a minute G-man" I yelled back "Look maybe it will take some time before you finally learn how to fight with something." Then with that I ran off to grover leaving Melissa in her thoughts.
"What is it Grover?" I asked. "There is a meeting going on in the big house we need you to join us since you are a counselor." I looked over to Melissa who wandered off somewhere, then looking back at Grover I replied "Alright lets go." Then he resisted when I said lets go "Uhm wait Perce i'm going to go and meet with Juniper for the rest of the night!" He said as he blushed. "Alright fine oh but have fun G-man." He walked away saying something as he went off "Will do Perce good luck!" Good luck? Why would I need good luck? I kept that in mind while walking to the big house. "Finally Percy you have arrived. Now we can discuss the upcoming news." Chiron announced as I entered the room. "There has been some news that a new demigod has been discovered. Whats very important is that we are positive that the child is one of the big three. Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades." At this every one gasped except me and Thalia but we were surprised by the news. (she is on break this summer from the hunt but her oath to her still stands)
While everyone was shocked at this Chrion also explained that we need to rescue the demigod before monster get to him first. "So its settled its a quest then. Specifically for Percy Jackson and Thalia due to them being demigods of the big three. So choose one person to accompany you will be leaving in two days top." Thalia and I looked at each other. Then she spoke up"I choose Anna.." but before she could finished I blurted out "Grover we choose Grover." Annabeth looked hurt by the choice but I still had little feelings for her but I cant be around her without feeling mad or upset. " NO!" Thalia screamed at me. I jumped in my seat because Thalia is can be very scary when she yells. Her being able to use lightning doesn't make situations like this any better than they are.
"I want Grover!" I argued. "Thats to bad kelp for brains because I want Annabeth to join us." She shot back. Hades this was annoying. "I have a better solution" Chiron trotted up "Why don't you choose another person to go with you?" We both didnt seem to have an answer. Then some ones voice spoke up "I'll go with them." I looked over and saw Nico standing their by the doorway. "Hey Nico whats going on?" I asked "Why are you here? In fact how did you ... oh thats right shadow travel right?" He just nodded and then said "I want to know who this demigod is and see which of the three is his or hers godly parent. So I can join them." Chrion took a long pause and then said " So its settled The three of you will be leaving camp in two days." With that everyone left. I headed back my cabin to get packed.
It was strange still because Melissa wasn't there. Where could she have gone? I shook that thought thinking she was just at the beach again. I packed a little for now I will do the rest before its time to go. Finally it was time get get some rest. As soon as I laid down still thinking where Melissa was she walked though the door very excited. She then laid down and went to bed. "What are you so excited about?" I asked. "Oh just that I met alot of new people while you were way to that meeting." she answered while blushing. Or I think she was blushing it was to dark to tell.
The next day was as normal as it could get I still showed Melissa around for the last day then she was off on her own around camp. At breakfast I glanced over at the Athena table and saw Annabeth not there. I got curious and then took a last sip out of my goblet filled with blue cherry coke then said "I'm done." to it to make it disappear. "Why are you done so early? You havent ate much." Melissa questioned with worried eyes. I didn't really have time to make an excuse so I just made up a very quick one that wasnt entirely a lie. "Im ... going to go get packed up so more for my quest." I hoped she would buy it without thinking something was wrong. "Oh okay well have fun." she bought it without suspicion then she glanced over at the other tables.
I was walking to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door. While waiting I heard sniffling sounds inside. When it opened I saw Annabeth by the doorway holding the door open. Her eyes were bloodshot red and her hair messed up as if she had been crying for ages. "Hey Percy." she sniffled. "Hey Annabeth, whats wrong why weren't at dinner tonight?" she looked up at me with her eyes and started to cry "Percy i'm so sorry please forgive me! The regret has been eating me alive!" she just stood there looking down at the floor with tear falling down. I couldn't stand to look at her that way even if she did do those horrible things. I held out my arms and pulled her into a hug. She was still crying to much it soaked my shirt (I know I shouldn't be wet because I am a son of Poseidon but I let it pass). I could see she was hurting more than me.
"Annabeth I forgive you." I calmly told her. She looked up "Really?" she sniffled. "Yeah wise girl." I smirked "But we can only be friends" I added. Annabeth's expression changed a little as if she was disappointed. "I broke up with Axel. That day when you found us. " she muttered. I didnt say anything I just let her go and told her to go and eat. She nodded and ran off. I went to my cabin and just finished packing. Then I went to bed even though it was still pretty early to sleep. Tomorrow was when me, Thalia, and Nico went off. I couldn't wait, it's been a while since I have went on a quest. While I was asleep I had an unusual dream...
