Oh yes, wait! I didn't mention there was a microphone!
CHAPTER 12: THE IMMORTALS
"Please, Lady Athena, can I? With your permission?" Chiron asked politely.
"Um…" Athena hesitated at first. "Okay?"
"Thank you." Chiron bowed. "Annabeth…" Athena began to sob.
"I didn't know of her existence… I just requested Grover to fetch Thalia. It was a beautiful Monday afternoon. Monday, am I right Grover?"
A sobbing Grover answered with a shrug.
"Anyway, where was I? Ah, the Monday afternoon, yes. I was training the Ares students how to shoot an arrow. Of course, we can't hear much from the outside because of our 'force field'! We were oblivious what danger dear Annabeth, Grover, Thalia and—" at first he hesitated, but continued. "and Luke. Yes. And Luke. We didn't know they were running to the hill, screaming. I turned when I heard a loud boom! , but it was all too late. Thalia Grace—"
"Chiron, please don't call me that." Thalia interrupted.
"Thalia turned into a pine tree. I was too late to save her. Annabeth was crying and Luke and Grover were comforting her. I felt disappointed, because I can't do anything to Thalia. Grover introduced me to Annabeth and Luke. Annabeth was the youngest to enter the camp. She was here for 20 years, I guess? Am I right Malcolm?"
"Yes! Estimated 20 years." Malcolm said.
"She was one of my favorite campers, but then again, she shows be how old I am!" The crowd laughed. "Just joking! Anyway, she was 13, right, when she was kidnapped by the Manticore? When I heard the news, I was almost devastated. You know, Annabeth has been one of the campers closest to me. When there is trouble, we always have silent conversations. Piper, I guess you know one." Piper just shrugged.
"Well, Annabeth, please be alive so you can enjoy more fruitful years, with your friends, especially Percy! Let's hope you won't die at a young age! I hope you will live long to have children. With Percy, perhaps!" he laughed. I didn't know why he laughed, but I thought about what he said. It's possible… Percy thought. Shut up! Another side of him said. His mental argument with himself was interrupted by Athena.
"Dionysus, you're next."
"Of course I am!" he said enthusiastically and he strutted to the center of the stage.
"Okay!" he started. "Annie Bell—"
"Annabeth." I corrected. Athena gave me a grateful look.
"Never mind!" Dionysus said. "Anna Breath—"
"A-NNA-BETH!" Athena said.
"Annabeth—"
"FINALLY!" Athena and I said at the same time.
"Annabeth arrived when she was seven. I thought, 'Great, another midget! Ouranos's beard.'"
"What's 'Ouranos's beard'?" Jason Grace asked.
"Ah, it's just an expression, John Green." Dionysus laughed.
"Earlier you called me Lason Brace, now John Green." Jason whispered.
"To continue! Like I said, I thought it was another waste of a child. But when she grew up, she wasn't a waste anymore, not like you!" he pointed to a random camper he barely knew the face.
"Excuse me?!" the camper said. It was obviously from the Aphrodite Cabin.
"She became a fierce warrior! Not like you!" he pointed to a boy in the Hermes cabin. "She was very important! She was part of the Prophecy of Seven! She went on many quests! I called her by her real name sometimes, not like you two!" He pointed to Connor and Travis Stoll, aka 'Canner and Tragic Stole'. "How rude for you to call me Dinosaurus! Annabeth Chase—see, I called her by her name—never called me by any different name!"
"How about you? You always call people different names!" Travis blurted. Dionysus' eyes blazed with anger. He forced himself to calm down.
"You know, Mr. Stole, I can blast you out of this island without any problem. Any last words?"
Travis gulped. He was literally so embarrassed. And I'm sure he'll stay in his cabin for a week. Even Katie can't get him out if that happens. You see, Travis has a secret crush on Katie.
"To continue, Annabeth was one of the best! One of the best, I've seen. And I admit it, I admit it! I am so sorry for calling her Annie Bell! Annabeth, please forgive me!"
"Are you done, Posei—I mean Dionysus?" Athena giggled.
"Yes." Dionysus nodded.
"My turn, is it?" Athena said. Nobody answered. The silence lasted for at least five minutes.
Then somebody spoke. "How about me? They always thought I didn't care about Annabeth." That voice was very familiar. The voice sounded like a man with the same age of Paul Blofis, my stepdad.
Is it, Paul?! It can't be!
Then Athena gasped.
A/N: Okay! This chapter is done! So who do you think is the 'visitor'? We'll find out on Chapter 14! :) The next chapter, huh? It will not be Percy's POV.
PLEASE R&R, F&F! :)
