A/N: This one takes place when Percy is frustrated at the Roman Camp. Just something that I would add to the story line, a minor little event.
19. Stars
I should be tired. I should be ready to drop dead or run away. I was so frustrated, it would be normal for me to be tired.
Today, I had carried a goddess, lost some sort of invulnerability, made new friends, a new home and so much more. The worst part of it was that there was something inside of me, digging at my brain. There was something I was forgetting.
I am 17 and I can't remember my former life. Nothing. I couldn't remember my family, my hometown, friends, or anything. The only thing I could remember was the name "Annabeth" and a mysterious pair of grey eyes. Nothing else.
It was quiet in the barracks and everyone in the room was asleep except for me. I quietly got up from my bunk and walked out to the outside. The stars were bright when I looked up and the night was cold.
A little voice in my head said something.
*OFFICIAL PAGE BREAK*
"No, Seaweed Brain, that's Capricorn and over there is-" A female voice said. I was looking up at the night sky from my back, a few pine trees were bordering my vision.
"Virgo."
"Yeah." The girl said. "And over there is Orion. Why haven't you learned these yet?" She pointed again. "Over there is the big dipper. If you ever get lost, use it to tell which way you are going, okay?"
"Will it lead back to you?" I asked, turning my head towards her. She looked at me and this mysterious girl had curly blonde hair. It cushioned her head on the grassy floor. The most intriguing thing about this girl was her grey eyes, that made you try and question your own existence when you peered into her eyes.
"It will always lead to me. But I will be looking for you too."
*OFFICIAL PAGE BREAK*
That small thought ran through my head. I was pretty sure that the grey eyes I remembered were the eyes of that girl. She must have been Annabeth. I wasn't sure and I shook my head.
I walked a little bit down the path in the moonlight. After a while, I got lost so I turned around. I looked up once more and recognized the north star. It shined brightly in the dark and I knew that was the way to Annabeth.
I walked back to my bunk, trying to rack my brain about past memories, but nothing was working. Before I went back to my bunk, I took one more look up to the sky. Give me a sign. I wished. I waited for a few seconds before heading back in when I saw something streak across the sky with great speed. It crossed the sky and I made a wish. I would tell you but then it wouldn't come true.
I watched it disappear. Then I noticed something else in the sky. I think it was a constellation that the girl taught me. It was the shape of a hunter, dancing across the sky. Something odd struck me about this constellation.
I shook it off and went to bed, hoping to dream about the girl but all that was running through my mind that night, was the north star. The North Star. The North Star.
A/N: I love doing these things, because they are so quick and fun!
Have a great day! Almost Friday everyone, celebrate!
