6. Trouble's Brewing
Standing on the brink of a battle field really gets my nerves going. I get that feeling of dread as my stomach sinks to my toes. The opponents stand away but you can see the hunger in their eyes easily.
I wondered what was going to end up coming out of this battle. Who was going to win? It was always us but I always wondered if all of our fellow demigods were going to be slaughtered. I was going to do anything in my power to stop that.
"CHARGE!" The long echo of the other team rang through the forest. I watched their feet start gaining speed.
I lost myself for a second couldn't think, just staring off into space.
The stress and anxiety of the battle left me as a sudden flash of the sea came to my head. Sunshine beat down on my skin as I walked through the water. Strength filled me up, from my tip toes to the top of my head. The darkness of the inside of my eyes were lit up by the outside sun.
A distant voice from my left called my name and I turned to the sun. Walking forward, I squinted in the sunlight and golden bouncing rays flew from the sun. Annabeth's head was covering the brilliant source of heat.
As she came closer, I circled her and held her in my arms.
"Seaweed Brain, you are not to smart sometimes." She said and I quickly kissed her lips and looked into her grey eyes.
"What makes you think that?" I asked and watched her recoil her knife and strike.
I was no longer in the ocean, and now on the battle field, facing Annabeth. I dodged her jab and knocked the hilt of my sword on the back of her armor.
"Because we are so going to get that flag!" She said with a smile and took off towards the place where our flag was stationed. I dashed behind her and took her down to the ground. She rolled over so she was on top of me, straddling my middle. We were only a few feet from the flag.
"Hey there." She said and pushed back a rouge strand of golden hair away.
"I need to teach you a lesson." She breathed. Annabeth leaned in and her mysterious grey eyes were misleading. They switched from looking at my eyes to my open mouth, I was breathing hard after running after her.
All around us demigods were fighting for their victory.
"What lesson would that be?" I asked and propped myself up on my elbows, facing closer to her face. She forcefully pushed me back down. I felt the grass on my ears and the back of my head. Her hair fell over her shoulder and ears as she leaned down. We were so close now I could smell the lemon shampoo radiate from her hair. I closed my eyes and focused on her smell and the sounds of her breathing. I could almost hear her heart beat but I could definitely feel mine press into my chest.
"Don't let your enemies distract you." She whispered into my ear.
I opened my eyes with a confused look and she wasn't there anymore.
"Wise Girl?" I asked and rolled onto my front. She was looking at me with the flag in her hand, triumphantly. She threw her head back and laughed.
"I love you, Percy." She said as she ran back to her team.
"Love you to." I called and picked myself up.
That girl drives me crazy.
A/N: Haha, this kind of got out of hand sort of. Sorry! But I liked it. A lot of emotion/romance. Hope you like it and HAVE A GREAT DAY!
