Yay! I really like this chapter, even though I've only written two others, this ones defiantly my favorite. Thank you to everyone who followed/favorited/reviewed! I probably won't be updating everyday like I am now especially with school starting in two weeks for me but I couldn't wait to post this chapter!
P.S. response to poseidon's huddle puff daughter's review at the bottom! :)
I walked out of the main entrance to see the Argo II hovering over the bus loop. 'No way!' I thought.
"So you can see it?" Asked Annabeth. Oops must have said that out loud.
"Ya," I replied cautiously. "But I don't think I've ever been able to see through the mist..." 'If the mist is real...' I thought.
"That's normal." She said. "When we show up, your senses become stronger." she said. But she seemed uncertain. As far as I'm concerned, Annabeth was never uncertain. And if she was, that ment she didn't know something. And if I'm talking about the same Annabeth here, she hated not knowing things.
"You seem uncertain." I said and immediately regretted it. Piper made a WARNING gesture. Annabeth glared at me. Waaay scarier that it sounds.
"I'm not uncertain." She snapped at me. Great, now she definitely doesn't like me. "Come on, everyone on board." On the way to the giant warship parked above my school, Piper and Hazel caught up to me.
"Don't worry about Annabeth. She's usually not like this, you just sorta hit a soft spot." Piper told me.
"Ya, those children of Athena really hate not knowing things." I replied.
"Tell me about it." Percy said as he joined our conversation. "One of the many struggles in dating one."
"I'm not sure Annabeth would want to hear that Perce." Hazel told Percy. He blushed,
"Don't you dare tell her." Percy threatened.
"Wouldn't dream of it Jackson." Jason said as he entered the conversation he slapped a hand on Percy's back. Percy glared at him as Hazel continued talking,
"But ya Eliza, Pipers right. Annabeth's just annoyed because Chiron wouldn't give her any information about the quest other than that we were picking up someone special in Maine (meaning you), and that little tidbit that your senses would become stronger once we found you. We just heard about the quest, learned about wizards, met Harry, Ron, and Hermione and were on our way." I nodded and looked back at my school once more before climbing the rope ladder. To bad I never pay attention in P.E. because I was by far the least fit in the group. At least Hazel was pretty close to my age.
"Don't worry, you'll be back here." Percy assured me, but there was doubt in his voice. That scared me even more than a half an hour ago when his hand was stuck out in front of me. As I reached the top of the latter I felt my whole body shaking from anxiety. I stood up on the deck and heroically fell on my butt. 'Way to go Eliza' I thought. 'Nice job, you just royaly embarrassed yourself.' Everyone crowded around me asking if I was okay. Even Leo didn't crack a joke. "I'm fine. I'm fine." I said. "Just a little overwhelmed." I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose because of my sudden killer migraine.
"How so?" Harry asked. I paused for a second,
"This is all just so weird having my favorite fictional heroes and heroines come to life and mysteriously pick me up at school in a warship." I said.
"Bloody hell." Ron muttered as he looked at his shoes. "I guess that would be pretty weird." He told me as he looked up.
"Is anyone else just the least bit offended she called us fictional?!" Leo exclaimed. There's the joke I was waiting for. At least it lightened the mood a little, I thought. Jason shoved him, Frank glared at him, and Piper scolded him,
"Not the time Leo." She turned to me, "maybe we should take you to your room and you can rest for the time being. Even though it won't be that long of a trip."
"That's a good idea." Annabeth seconded.
"I have my own room?!" I exclaimed.
"Of course," Hermione looked at me. "We," she motioned to the wizards of the group "magically extended the inside of the ship so that the outside looks the same when really the inside is much larger."
"You know, I could have just actually extended the ship instead of you guys doing all your wand waving crap." Leo argued.
"And how long would that have taken? Hmm? We didn't exactly have all the time in the world to prepare!" Hermione countered.
"They've been going at it the whole quest." Hazel whispered to me. "Come on, we'll show you your room." She, Annabeth, and Piper got up making sure that no one noticed. It was kind of a good thing Hermione and Leo were still arguing so they were the center of attention.
The three girls lead me to a room near the end of the hall pointing out other people's room's as they went. My room was in between Hazel's and Hermione's. As they pushed open the door I discovered my dream room. Sky blue walls, a queen sized bed an off white carpet and cream-colored furniture. My night stand had an alarm clock and three copies of brides magazine (don't ask).
"You guys really didn't have to do this." I turned around and looked at the three of them. "I'm only going to be on this boat for what? A couple of hours?"
"Actually..." Annabeth trailed off. Piper and Hazel looked at her.
"What are you hiding." Piper pressured her.
"We're taking a quick detour..."
"What?!" Piper and Hazel asked at the same time. As if on que the four of us stumbled as the flying warship ascended even farther into the sky.
"We have to pick up another special package in Virginia. We might not get to camp for a couple of days." Annabeth said as she held tightly to the door frame. After she said that I immediately felt bad for her. I knew she used to live in Virginia.
"I'm sorry Annabeth. I know that it must be hard for you to go to Virginia after all this time." I said and gave her a look of pity. I was sure she wouldn't want pity but sometimes people need it whether they like it or not. She gave me a confused look.
"How did you know I used to live..." She stopped mid-sentence, "oh right. You read the books." I was relived when I figured out they knew about the books, and that I had read them. That saved me a lot of explaining.
"Wait, Annabeth!" Piper exclaimed. "You used to live in Virginia?"
"*cough* ya I did before I um...ran away." she said with surprising confidence. But I could see through that mask. I knew my characters. After that last comment, the subject was dropped. "Anyways," she looked at me, as did the other two following Annabeth's lead. "You should rest," she said. "We'll have a meeting in a half an hour in the mess hall, I'll go tell the others." And with that the three of them left, leaving me to "rest". I turned around and looked at my bed. I flopped on my back. 'Cue sigh' I thought. What a day.
What did you think? That was defiantly my favorite chapter so far of course, there's only been three. I just got Percy Jackson's Greek gods today! It's really cool! And heavy! I don't know if anyone's gotten the actual book version but my local bookstore only soled these giant textbook things. Its cool though. Did any of you guys get it?
poseidon's hufflepuff daughter: I thought about PMing you but some people don't like that so I hope you see this response. That would actually be really funny if you posted something saying 'happy birthday Percy!' on a divergent fanfic cuz people would be like 'what?!' and there'd be that one Percy Jackson fan reading it like 'I get what your saying, but I think you have the wrong fandom' I checked out your pjo/hp crossover and I love it! I want to read the divergent one but I actually haven't read the books yet, I've only seen the movie... I know that's like a crime in this world but I'm probably getting the first book tomorrow at the library to hopefully finish before summers over... But once I finish them I'll defiantly check out your fanfic! Hope you like this chapter! :)
