He's Gone Away…
Chapter 4
The Ship
Thalia and Annabeth are walking to the bunker (can't remember the number; please review and tell me).
Thalia's POV
I wonder why Annabeth was smiling? If it's what I think it is, it can't be good.
Annabeth's POV
Today I'm going to see the progress of the ship! Soon we can get Percy back.
"Thalia can you slow down? You have gotten fast scene you became a hunter."
"Or maybe you have just gotten slow?"
Suddenly angry, "NOT funny!"
"O.k.! Gees Annabeth don't bite my head off."
Two uncomfortable minuets later, "Sorry, Thalia, I don't know what came over me…"
"That's o.k. I forgive you."
"We are here!"
Thalia's POV
"Yo, Leo! What's up? How's it going?" Yelled Thalia into the bunker, at the ship.
"Not much, just working on our ship." Leo shouted back, while emerging from underneath the shell of the hull of the ship.
"Leo, how long till you are done?" Asked Annabeth.
"Well Annabeth," he answered while wiping grease and dirt from his hands, "it really depends on how much iron and bronze we get, how much coal, for the fire, and how much help we get."
"Well, if you hade everything you needed how long would it take?"
"Maybe, 4 or 5 months, we can only work so fast."
"O.k. so when is the metal arriving? The coal arrived this morning."
"The coal arrived, that's great! So, how's it getting up here? I haven't left this cave in forever, maybe I should go get it and get some food while I'm at it, my mini fridge is almost…" That is so ADHD! I do that all the time!
"LEO, just answer my question!" Wow! Annabeth is in a tetchy mood!
"It's been backordered for three weeks!"
"That's not fast enough!"
"Sorry!" Said Leo, who by now is utterly confused.
"You should be!" (Annabeth)
"Annabeth! When in the Hades was that?" (Thalia)
"Thalia, just because you are fine with him procrastinating doesn't mean I am!"
"Annabeth! That is not acceptable! Be kind to him. You're scaring him!"
Annabeth tuned with a horrified expression and burst into tears!
"Oh, Leo I'm so sorry!" Sobbed Annabeth, "I just want my Percy back!"
Annabeth ran away. Well that was really out of character for her.
"That was strange." (Leo)
"I quite agree."
"I'll go talk to her."
"No, I will."
Annabeth really needs to get away from camp; she should go back to school! I'll talk to Chiron about it.
About 15 minuets later, Thalia found Annabeth under her pine tree.
"Annabeth, what's wrong?"
"Thals, I really don't know."
"Do you need anything?"
"Ya, ice cream!" What the Hades?
"Uh, sure Annabeth" said an extremely un-sure Thalia.
"And afterwards do you want to talk to Chiron?"
"Not really. Why do you ask?"
"No reason!"
"Ok, let's go!"
