I do not own the Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Kane Chronicles series
I can't believe that I spelt Gaea wrong in the last chapter *face palm* I'm ashamed. Sorry!
Chapter 15:
Annabeth's POV:
Everybody left the meeting shocked. Percy took my hand and we walked in silence back to my cabin. I tuned to give him a kiss on the cheek before I went back to my cabin, but I guess my face was worse than I thought.
"You okay?" he asked quietly. I nodded. He wrapped his arms around me and held me there for a while. I had to tell him. "Percy?" I asked. "Yeah?" he said. "I need to tell you something. Promise me you wont freak out?" I said, my heart racing. "Of course. What is it?" Just then Grover ran up to us, panting.
"Hey guys." He said. "I can't believe what happened back there. " He shook his head and sighed. "Anyway, Percy, Chiron wants to see you." "Hold on a sec." He said. "What were you going to say?" he asked me.
I shook my head. "Nothing" I replied. He raised an eyebrow. "Go. Chiron's waiting for you." I added on. "But-" but Grover already grabbed his arm and was yanking him off. I sighed. What was I going to do? I swear when Chiron was talking about the Egyptians he gave me a glance. Maybe it was a coincidence. Maybe not.
Sadies's POV:
I left Amos's office and went straight for my room. I debated on whether I should go to school or not, but I decided against it. I didn't like going to school regularly, not to mention upset.
So I laid down in my bed and started listening to some music on my ipod. Hey, it relaxes me.
Later that afternoon someone knocked on my door. "Come in" I said. The door opened. Carter walked in and closed the door. "Hey" he said. "Sup?" I answered, fiddling with my ipod.
"How are you holding up?" he asks me. "Not bad. You?" I replied dully. "Alright." He answered. For a few minutes we sat in silence. "When do you plan on telling the others?" I asked.
Carter sighed. "Dunno. I don't want them to worry like what Amos said, but I still want them to be prepared." I nodded. For another few minutes we sat in silence. Then we heard the doors open from downstairs and heard all of the initiates bustle in.
Carter looked up. "Go first" I told him. He hesitates, then heads for the door. He's just about to walk through when he turns back around. "Don't freak kay? Everything's going to be fine." When he spoke he seemed genuinely concerned. I guess it's just his brotherly instincts.
"Me? I'm not freaked at all." I lied. He looks at me for a second. "Okay" and he walks out of the room.
I got up and stared at myself in the mirror for about five minutes. I may sound narcissistic, but I need to make sure I don't look worried. I stand there for another two minutes, then I finally take a deep breath.
I walked down the stairs and plastered a smile on my face. As my foot reaches the bottom step, im instantly ambushed by Cleo. "How come you didn't come to school today?" She asked "You were right behind us, then you just vanished."
"Yeah. I wasn't feeling very well." Carter had it easy. He never goes to school.
"Oh. Well are you feeling better now?" She asked. My heart ached. Cleo was so sweet. I hated lying to her. "Yeah, I'm feeling much better " She smiled. "Good" Then she turned and started feeding some Oreo's to Khufu.
Annabeth's POV:
I watched as Grover and Percy disappeared in the distance. I took a deep breath and opened the door to my cabin. Time to tell them what's going on. Honestly, I wasn't too worried about how they were going to take it.
My cabin was strong. No one shed a single tear, which was a relief since I expected that to happen. Instead, there were only angry, determined faces, even on the little ones.
I wonder how the other cabins are doing. I didn't really want to go check though, because if someone loses it, I don't know what I would do. Better to let there siblings comfort them.
To tell you the truth, I think that I might lose it. I'm seriously stressed out. What am I supposed to do?
No. No no no no no no no no. I cannot afford to think this way.
I am wisdom's daughter.
What do you guys think? Should Annabeth tell Percy and Chiron? :D
