I do not own The Percy Jackson or Kane Chronicles Series
Chapter 5: I get to know Annabeth
Carter's POV:
At breakfast, Annabeth sat at the corner of the table quietly. She didn't talk to anybody. She just sat there and hardly touched her food. "We didn't poison the food you know" I said to her.
She laughed. "I know. Sorry. I was just thinking."
"So Annabeth, where are you from?" asks Alyssa. "Manhattan" she answered. "Manhattan? We're not supposed to go to Manhattan" Alyssa said. "Why?" Annabeth asked. "Well apparently, it's not safe there. It's full of other forces" answered Sadie.
I saw Annabeth go pale. "Don't worry" said Felix "I'll protect you!" Annabeth laughed. "So will the barriers around Brooklyn House" I said.
"Do you guys go to school?" Annabeth asked. "Yeah. Some of us go to BAG" Jaz said. Annabeth raised an eyebrow."Bag?" she said with a hint of disbelief in her voice. " Brooklyn Academy For The Gifted" Walt said. "Oh" was all she said.
I was studying her, trying to figure out her emotions. She hid them well. I couldn't help but notice her stormy grey eyes. They were quite…Unsettling.
" We're actually leaving like right now." Sadie said "Or we'll be late." Everybody started scrambling to get their stuff together. "If you'd like I can send in an application for you" Sadie said. Since when was she ever this nice? ["Oww! Stop It!"]
Annabeth nodded " I'd really appreciate it" she said. "Okay" Sadie said ruffling some papers.
"Got to go. Just stay here with Carter. He doesn't go to school. He'll tell you everything else you need to know." Sadie said. Sigh. Sadie always makes me to everything. ["Not true!"]
As soon as everyone left, the house was quiet. The ankle biters were probably outside playing with Khufu And the older students went out for a bit.
So I decided to get to know Annabeth better.
I asked her some questions, and she answered them all, but it looked like she was holding something back. Something…Big.
I hoped you liked it! Please review!
P.S. What do you think will happen next?
