Am back! School starts Tuesday, so I'll be updating less often. L
When I wake up the next morning, I dress and do my hair with Percy in mind. But when I get to breakfast, he isn't there.
When we're almost done with breakfast, I panic. Percy loves breakfast, and he isn't here.
When Mother realizes he isn't there, she sends a guard to check on him. The guard reports that he is gone, and no one has seen him since last night. I panic even more.
"Annabeth? What do you know?" Mother's noticed my look.
"Nothing, I…the last time I saw him was last night."
"Did he seem odd to you? What was the last thing he said to you?"
"He seemed normal…he just kissed me good-night, and left."
The room is left in stunned silence. Then Mother beams, Malcom shakes his head with a grin at his food, and the servants mutter to themselves. Only Luke is unhappy.
"What? That bastard kissed you? I'll…I'll kill him!" He continues to mutter angrily until I stand.
"Luke. Thank you for being here, but I have made my choice—and it isn't you. If you'll kindly pack your bags, you may borrow a carriage to leave."
"What? What does he have that I don't?"
"He's heir." Luke stops in his tracks, glaring. This has always been a sore point for him. "Furthermore, he's nice and he sees me for me, not just Princess Annabeth, but Annabeth. You may go now." Luke glares even more and leaves.
"Oh, the wedding will be beautiful!" Mother says with a sigh. I panic.
"Mother, we can't have a wedding without a groom!"
She sighs. "You're right. I'll organize search parties."
"Mother, I want to help look, too! I can't just sit here, waiting for him to turn up!" Mother sighs again.
"Fine. You'll be disguised, I hope? And take a sword. Some people are barbarians." I laugh a little.
"Yes, Mother."
*SWITCH POV*
After the assassins flee, I eye my companions suspiciously.
"Who are you again?"
"I'm Jason," The handsome, muscular, blonde boy tells me.
"Leo," the scrawny, black-haired boy tells me with a grin.
"And I'm Piper," I tell them. They look me up and down.
"Any idea what that was?" Jason asks.
"Not a clue. Leo?"
"Nope."
"That" was a group of trained assassins that tried to kill us as we toured the Noble Crevice, trying to kill us. The tour guide was with them, which made it seem like it a long, planned plan.
Suddenly, the clattering of a carriage draws our attention. The door opens before it's stopped completely. A boy hops out, wearing a tunic with the hood up, covering most of his face, and leggings, an ivory sword strapped to his waist. He brushes past us, mumbling under his breath. When he's found out that we're the only ones here, he screeches at the sky.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I do a double take, because it's a girl's voice.
"Uh…Mister?" Jason asks, uncertain. He—she—whatever—turns.
"What?" Definitely girl.
"Are you…alright? Who…are you?"
She sweeps the hood off of her head, and long, curly, blonde hair falls down, splaying across her shoulders. Her gray eyes blaze angrily. She opens her mouth to say something, but is interrupted by another person stepping out of the carriage.
"Princess Annabeth Athena Lerina Malocorn Jensu, of the Royal family Chase of Athens."
Annabeth sighs. "Butch." The man doesn't answer, just continues to observe the scene.
"And you all are?"
"Are we getting all formal? I love formal!" Leo rubs his hands together. "Prince Leo Hephaestus Lukas Donovan Remable, of the Royal family Valdez of The Firelands."
"Prince Jason Heron Thomas Dean Lokko, of the Royal family Grace of Zeusia."
Leo snickers. "Bless you."
I sigh. "Princess Piper Aphrodite Mona Reen Lisa, of the royal family Mclean of the Land of Aphrodite."
Annabeth scowls. "Lovely. I assume you've had an attempted murder?
"How'd you know?" I question.
"Easy. You boys have weapons and are pretty scraped up. Also, there's a dead guy," She says, pointing to the man laying at Leo's feet.
"Tour guide," he explains.
"Alright. Come with me if you want to live." She gets back in her carriage. The three of us look at each other.
"I like not dying," Leo says with a shrug, following her. Jason looks at me.
"Let's go," He says, walking to the carriage.
I follow him.
*Gasps* Plot twist! I don't know how much I'll follow the book. I've got a small sketch, but not the whole painting.
…
Get it? It was like a pun or something of sorts.
Anyway, I feel kinda behind. I just read the Blood of Olympus chapter and saw the cover! Plus (I don't know how many people know this) but apparently Reyna and Nico will have their own chapters! Yay! I'm also scared for Jason, because for the last ones, the title refered to the first narrator, sort of. See?
Who was the Lost Hero? Jason! The first narrator!
Who was the Son of Neptune? Percy! The first narrator!
Who was Athena's daughter? Annabeth! The first narrator!
Who was Hades daughter? Hazel! The first narrator!
Who's the Blood of Olympus? Idk, but Jason is the first narrator.
I know that some of them are Greek and some are Roman, but that's my take.
Please review, tell me thoughts and ideas!
