Welcome to another chapter, everyone. I was simply bored of wandering around my house doing nothing. Sooo I wanted to post another chapter Beneath the Shadows of the Water! And thanks to all of you 900+ views. I appreciate it. Though it wasn't as much as the views for Accidentally Gender Swapped. It was like 4,000+. Enough rambling and get on with it. Has anyone guessed my name yet? Post a review about this story or whatever!

Percy's POV
Annabeth was limp in my arms and I totally didn't know what to do. I guessed she was really tired from manipulating a lot of things I guess. Wouldn't you? What she had did there was really amazing, but at the same time scary. She looked so out of control that I can't believe I actually coward down and didn't help her in the first place. At least I got her to stop before things became even worse than it was in the first place.
I took a peek at her beautiful face and decided to myself that I should go bring her to the healer/my personal trainer. I swam through the big blue ocean until I reached the main city. My trainer doesn't really show up in public that much because his sea horse tail has been crippled and so that means he couldn't always go out. The only way he could get out and swim properly, is that a very special someone could heal him only. Only that person. And that person alone.
My trainer, Chiron, is like my second father if my dad isn't around here (which is most of the time, anyways.) And so I swam deeper and deeper. Chiron lived in a cabin hidden beneath the Atlantis Palace. It looked so old, ugly and deserted that no one dared to enter or make a noise around it. Except me, I guess. And Annabeth. But she was resting so that doesn't really count. It was made out of oak wood and birch striped wood. The window panes and the porch floor were shattered into thousands of tiny pieces.
I carefully swam around the very sharp pieces, trying to not drop Annabeth. My tail made a crunching noise. Oops. Annabeth wiggled and groaned. Her eyes were still closed and she put her head and snuggled into my chest. My heart was beating loudly that I hopes that Annabeth couldn't hear it. Annabeth's answer was a groan and and a wriggled and snuggled even more in. My face was probably red as a tomato now.
I swam towards the door and did a secret knock (insert the knock by Anna from Frozen.) KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. A man's head peeked over the door and smiled. "Percy, my boy!" He said fatherly. He looked around his early fifties but when really he was over a thousand years. His tail was a sea horse's tail, which I don't understand why. He looked like my father that People got confused on which one is which. But of course he doesn't really go out much, which means people won't get confused. When he needs to go out he pretends that his legs are crippled and hides in the shadows of the water.
"And what do we have here?" he looked skeptically at Annabeth. "A very powerful and everything good of a present, Chiron," I replied with a strained smile. "Uh-huh. Well come in, and you can bring her too," he gestured for him to carry her in. Chiron pointed to a hospital looking bed and which I placed her in. We then sat on a nearby couch and he looked at me sternly, "Why have you brought her here, now? Surely we have something we could do with her, right?" I nodded, "Prophecy of the heroes, sir. She has witnessed three powerful powers in and accident. She controlled the skies, the waves and a boat full of humans."
He nodded thoughtfully as he said, "Right. So she has lost so much of her energy?" I nodded again. "We must heal her quickly. Too much of power can actually overpower her." He hopped off the couch and walked towards his doctor looking counter thing. Geez, why does he live in a look alike hospital? He grabbed a bottle and held it up. "What's that?" I asked quietly. He answered with a sigh, "Nectar. A special one in fact. Only me and my campers can make them by hand." I looked rather surprised at the word campers. "What campers, Chiron?" I place my hand in the back of my head. "Look, Percy. Can we just heal her and I'll tell you later," he held the bottle to Annabeth's mouth. He parted her lips and dropped only three drops. "Three drops Chiron, really? She's going to heal with THREE drops?!" I was outraged at the medicine. "Percy, understand me. I am much more wise and older than you. You also need to understand that I can't explain right now," his voice wasn't raised but was calm like the sea." I nodded a very once again and hadn't realised I had stood up abruptly.
A sudden noise of a feminine voice groaning alerted me. "Annabeth!" I yelled as I ran up to her. I stroked her face lovingly and stared at her, "Promise to never get out of control ever again! You scared me. Though I kinda thought that was badass." She smiled and chuckled then closed her eyes again. "Percy, she must take a rest. Nectar wouldn't kick in if she was using all her will to use it."
I huffed but obediently sat back down again. When will Annabeth be ready to share the wonderful world with me? I just wonder.

After thirty minutes waiting for Annabeth to wake, she finally opened her beautiful more of a grayish/bluish eyes. "Percy?" She said quietly and stared at me. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "W-What happened?" I just chuckled and placed a hand in her shoulder. "A lot of things has been happening. A lot."
Chiron came out of another room through the crooked wooden door and said, "Annabeth. We need to talk and share a few errr... a few errands." He gestured Annabeth to come along with him. "How about me?" I whined. Annabeth just smirked and told me, "I'll be back, Seaweed Brain." I smiled happily at her name for me, "Ok, Wise Girl!" And with that Annabeth waved to me while smiling. I waved back. And she disappeared behind the crooked wooden door.
