ANNABETH'S POV:
I got up after Chiron told us about Kronos. That's it, "Kronos. Is. Going. DOWN!" I said, and Percy looked at me, laughed.
"What the hell man?" I said, "This is not a fucking laughing matter! The most dangerous thing to the whole fucking demigod universe is coming to our camp, and you are LAUGHING?" I yelled at him, and a couple people stared at me.
Percy held up his hands in surrender, "Whoa, whoa. Ok sorry. You just looked really funny."
"Oh, my god Percy. What the hell?" I just stared him down. He looked terrified. Good. I am doing my job.
"What? I just said you looked funny is all. Sheesh."
God, I am going to kill this son of a bi-
"What are you guys doing?" Chiron asked, interrupting my cursing thought. "You are supposed to be getting to your cabins!"
"Oh sorry, Chiron, I was just talking to Annabeth." Percy said.
"You need to get to your cabins and fill out your sheets accordingly! The sooner we get this done, the faster we can form the classes!" Chiron said frantically. I may be dreaming, but did Chiron just sprout a gray hair? Gosh. Paranoia.
"Oh." Is all I said.
"Let's go Annabeth." Percy said, and grabbed my arm.
"No no, now you wait just a minute, dear Percy." Chiron said, breaking Percy's grasp, "I need a word with you."
"I will, um, see you in a few?" I asked Percy.
"Yup." He said, and Chiron shooed me away. I walked off to my cabin wondering, what in the world would Chiron be talking to Percy about if he ever so urgently needed us to go to our cabins? Huh.
When I got to my cabin, a little girl swarmed around me, crying on my shoulders. She was one of the young ones. She looked up to me as if I was her sister, they were only 8.
"Annie!" Sally cried on my shoulder, "What if we die! I don't want to die!" She cried. She was right. I believed her. If she died, which I was sadly guessing she would, she would have lived a short, cruel life.
"I know. I don't either. But we have to face our fears, even if it costs us our lives. Be brave." I said and she got off my arm, and walked away. She stopped crying.
The oldest of the cabin, Seymour, came over and gathered us all in a circle. Although he was only a year older than me, I was taller by at least 2 inches. "Guys, come here for a second. Chiron told me to give these to you. You need to fill them out, and based on your statistics, you will be assigned to your training class. All you have to do is put a check in the 'yes' or 'no' box, and on occasions, you will have to answer questions by writing them out. Understand?" Seymour said, and we all nodded.
"Alright. Take your time, but not too long." He said. The paper was blue and had a various amount of questions.
Ok. Well this won't take too long…
PERCYS POV
I was still in complete and utter shock.
Why did Chiron say that to me? I thought, I would never do that! No matter how much I hate him sometimes.
I was sitting on my bed in my cabin, thinking about why Chiron would tell me to that. There is no way. No WAY. He never did anything to hurt me…
Oh I feel so guilty now. About beating up Grover…
Just then Grover limply walked to my cabin, and handed me a blue paper. On the top it said, 'Please fill this out as quickly as you can.'
"You gotta fill this out, man." Grover said.
Yeah, I got the message about 2 seconds ago. "I know, I know."
"Ok, well do it quick, you know, this is some really important stuff Percy."Grover said.
"As if I didn't already freaking know that Grover!" I yelled in his face. I was just too worked up right now for him to state the freaking obvious. I have been through this crap before. I KNOW.
"Sorry man, I was just telling you. I didn't think you knew ab-"
I interrupted him, "OF COURSE I FREAKING KNEW! I AM NOT STUPID GROVER! I LOST FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER THIS FREAKING EVENT BEFORE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT! HOW COULD YOU THINK I WOULDN'T KNOW? ARE YOU THAT STUPID?"
Grover cringed at the word stupid. He opened his mouth like he was about to say something, then took in a deep breath. "You know Percy," He said to me calmly, "I have been through this before, too. I know how you feel. I lost family and friends. But that doesn't mean you need to be such a Drama Queen."
Drama Queen? Did he just call me a fucking drama queen? "DRAMA QUEEN? WHY THE-"
"Enough!" Annabeth screamed, having heard our fight, "I am tired of you fighting. All. The. TIME! For once just, get along!"
"Sorry."Grover said, and walked away, even though it should have been me apologizing. I would have felt guilty, but, no. I just didn't.
Annabeth walked into my cabin. "You guys just can't get enough of each other, can you?"
"Oh, shut up! We were having a nice discussion which turned into a political argument, ok?"
"Whatever."She said, and looked at my paper. "What? You still haven't finished that?"
"WELL I AM SORRY THAT GROVER JUST CAN'T KEEP HIS NOSE OUT OF EVERYONES BUSINESS!"
"HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP!"She yelled right back.
"NO, HE WAS JUST TRYING TO GET INTO MY PERSONAL LIFE."
"God Percy! You are so full of it!" She yelled, and slammed the door of my cabin. Great. I just made my two best friends pissed at me. Now that I think of it, I was kinda over reacting.
Oh my god. I am the worst friend ever! I moped to myself.
Oh, this just made mine and Chiron's conversation even worse. I feel so guilty!
I then glanced down at the blue sheet now crumpled in my hands. Crap. I still have to fill this out.
I found a pencil in my desk drawer and read the first question.
Are you capable of holding a sword?
No freaking duh. I put an X in the yes box and went down to the next question.
What is your maximum fighting capability?
I wrote in the lines, I can take down anything, anywhere.
Are you any good with archery?
No freaking way. I put a huge X in the no box.
Are you any good with creating traps and/or mind play?
What the hell does that mean? I just put an X in the no box, just in case.
What is your best weapon of your choice to fight with?
Riptide, I wrote, every person in the whole freaking camp knows that.
These stupid questions just continued, but the last one really caught my eye.
Who do you prefer to obliterate in this battle the most?
I, of course, wrote KRONOS in huge letters, so big it covered the whole bottom half of the page.
Satisfied with my work, I wrote my name on the top and left my cabin.
I walked around outside and found most people out of their cabins, whispering with their friends, and Mr. D was playing pinochle calmly and quietly, like he didn't know what the hell was happening.
God, I thought, some people.
I looked around, wondering where I had to return my blue paper.
Once you have finished filling out the paper, bring it to the dining pavilion, and think about what I told you, Chiron's voice came ringing back into my mind, We don't want another "incident" happening again, now do we?
Thinking of those harsh words, I shuddered. I will NEVER do ANYTHING like that to ANYBODY at this camp, no matter how much I am bribed by Chiron, let alone anybody.
Once again, Chiron's voice came back, mimicking our discussion,
You must kill him, Percy.
Kill who? I had asked him.
You must kill him. He is too weak, and he will just ruin the chances of our success at the camp.
He was really starting to scare me now, who? Who do I need to kill?
Percy, He said, it is only for the best. You must kill-
"Hey Peter! Turn that in!" Mr. D yelled at me, interrupting my conversation thoughts. He never did learn my name.
I headed to the dining pavilion and put my paper in the huge stack of other blue papers, that was about two and a half inches thick. Wow, it is going to take a while to sort these out.
I was beginning to think if Chiron might have turned, for the worst. Has he joined forces with Kronos? Why would he Kronos want him to die anyway? If he was to weak, Kronos wouldn't have to worry about him! It is just one person anyway. What harm would one weak person do? Maybe Kronos wants him to die because he has some special unknown power, that he himself has not discovered yet! Maybe, just maybe, Chiron thought he could overthrow Kronos. Chiron joined sides? But, why?...
Now, I need to find my friends, and… apologize. I might as well, especially since mine and Chiron's discussion.
