A/N: Thanks for reviews! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, been a bit busy with other stories and school etc. Enjoy!
8. First Love
The rain was pelting on the roof and the night was pitch black. Chiron and I were inside the big house talking about the next day's activities. All of a sudden there was a something at the door. Chiron quickly jumped alert and ran to the door. I followed and he open the door on a strange looking boy who was carrying a slumped Grover.
His black hair was plastered on his face and tears were mixed in with the pelting rain. His face was painted with the dark brown mud and thunder cracked in the background. It lit up the sky and I saw his eyes. They were a sea green color that should calm me with it's beautiful color, but now the only thing filling his expression was fear, sadness and so many others that I could not pick out. The boy stifled a sob, his eyes looking at us.
He took a shuddering breath in and his knees buckled from underneath. He and Grover fell onto the wet porch and the boy gave out. He closed his eyes from exhaustion and before he completely blacked out, I heard a wet cry for 'mom'.
"He's the one," I said. "He must be."
"Silence, Annabeth. He's still conscious. Bring him inside" Chiron warned and picked up Grover and settled him on the couch. That left me to get the black haired demigod. I had always been secretly attracted to Luke but the looks of this boy just made my heart melt. I wanted to see those green eyes again, just for their beauty. They felt powerful, and… new.
I bent down and lifted from the knees, my arms wrapped around his chest. I started to slowly drag him over the threshold and Chiron eventually took him for me and set him down in the infirmary. I watched as his limp hand wavered from Chiron's grasp and disappeared from view.
Grover woke up and told us the story. He was very worried but he felt a bit better knowing that the boy, Percy, was safe.
This guy must be really stupid to take on a minotaur. He probably had something stuck in his brain. Air? No something even more stupider than an airhead. Plants? Yeah, he couldn't think because he has a lot of plants in his head. Plant brain…
A/N: I know that last paragraph was kind of a stretch and it didn't work out the way I wanted it to but oh well. Hope you enjoyed it!
