Annabeth

After the Senate meeting wrapped up Annabeth went to the Argo II. She decided that if they were going to the Orecchio di Dionisio she needed to do some research. It was kind off hard though to concentrate she had demanded Percy tell her what happened while he was at the Roman Camp. Besides she told him what had been happening at Camp Half-Blood.

"So first off I woke up at the Wolf House I don't know 2 months ago." Percy said.

"Wait 2 months ago you've been missing for 8 months you're telling me you've been asleep the whole time." Annabeth said.

"No, I was asleep 6 of the 8 months." Percy said.

"Same thing whatever."

"Not really it's not the same thing."

"Whatever you're impossible."

"You're insufferable."

Annabeth smiled she leaned in and kissed Percy. "What was that for?" Percy asked.

"This just reminds me of the good old times." Annabeth said.

"You mean the times when we would get to the point of strangling each other."

"Yeah."

"So do you want me to finish my story or should we make out."

Annabeth laughed. "You wish now finish the story before I do strangle you."

During the part of how Percy had the dream telling Tyson to go find Ella she heard a loud bang. It was coming from the engine room. Percy must have heard it too because he stopped telling his story and looked at her. She gave him a quick nod and pulled out her dagger. Percy uncapped his pen and out came Riptide. They started walking up to the engine room it was still making the sound but not so hard. When they walked in they saw Octavian destroying some of the engines with a spear. Percy immediately walked up then used his sword to cut the spear in half so Octavian would stop. I walked up and started questioning him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Annabeth asked.

"Nothing Miss. Chase now leave." Octavian said.

"I repeat, what are you doing here?" Annabeth said with a large amount of hate in her voice.

"I was trying to make it so you couldn't leave." Octavian said.

"Why?" Percy said.

"Isn't it obvious I hate you I'd do anything to make you look bad." Octavian said.

"Get him to Reyna explain what happened I'll go with you." Percy said.

On the walk to the Praetor's House Annabeth couldn't help but wonder if there was another reason this kid was trying to destroy the ship. He knows the quest depends on the ship doesn't he. Or is he just dumb. Annabeth could hear Octavian muttering curses under his breath. When they got there they saw Reyna eating some food. They told her about what they saw and she said immediately that he will be punished in really harsh ways. Annabeth was walking back to the Argo II with Percy in a comfortable silence. When they got to her room Percy kissed her goodnight then walked back to his cabin. As soon as her head hit her pillow she immediately fell asleep to a nice dreamless sleep.

*Line Break*

The next time she woke up she walked on the deck and noticed they were already in the air she walked around looking for Percy. She found him on the sky deck talking to Leo.

"Ah the zombie lives." Leo said.

She glared at him then asked," What's going on what time is it?"

"It's 2:30 P.M. Annabeth really we tried waking you up but like Leo said you were a zombie." Percy said.

"Whatever how far are we are we close to camp." Annabeth asked.

"About 5 minutes away." Percy said.

"What. Damn I did sleep real long." Annabeth said.

"Yeah Percy here was explaining to me what happened with Octavian. Good thing he hit the stuff that can be fixed really easily if he hit the fuel combustor wow that would have been hard."

Just then Jason's voice came from the intercom," Due to nice tail winds we are ahead of schedule and are due to land any second now thank you for flying Festus Airlines (A/N: I had this in my first chapter I think every time they land I'm gonna make Jason say that.)

Have a good time."

Percy just sighed and said," Camp Half-Blood. Home."
