Percy's POV

Annabeth's eyes opened to see me staring back at her. I smiled weakly at her and in return she smiled back. "We have to get heading to the island," she croaks. "Yes," I say, "I think it's close by. I have been swimming both us towards the direction." She smiled more and stretched her hand to cup my cheek. I closed my eyes and snuggled into her hand.

"As much as I want to stay like this," she says, "we should better get going." I nodded and held my arm down to her so she could get up. She grabbed onto my hand and held her pack on her shoulders just slightly slipping off. I did the same thing to my pack, and we headed in the north east direction hand in hand.

We were walking in the middle of nowhere, really. It's just the plain blue ocean moving a abouts. No sign of the living in any sight. I sigh. This gives me back a terrible memory when I was about five.

My father and I were out for hunting. We were hunting for sea deer. Sea deer were like deers, except they have a fish tail of course and their horns were like hard stone seaweed. We were in a place that felt deserted, much what I feel like right now. Nothing was coming. Five year old me held onto my father's hand and my eyes looked towards him. "Daddy," I say, "There is nothing here. How can we get dinner now?" He shot me a stern look and says flatly, "Wait, son. Be patient. Just because there is nothing to see, there is always something that roams around in the darkness."

My father held a spear like thing. He also brought a knife along with him, so that he could properly end the life of the deer. To be honest, I was scared. To kill a living thing feels the same like seeing a murderer kill your teacher. Even of the teacher was a horrible monster (literally.)

There was a dark figure swimming. My father noticed and crept down below and readied his spear. The dark figure was a sea pegasus. It looked lost and scared. Just the way I felt. "This is going to be a better dinner," my father says quietly, "Enough to feed a whole court." He slowly brought up the spear over his head, and threw it with all his might towards the beast. It neighed and swam away. After a few moments there was a whole family of sea pegasi. And that's when the rebellion started.

Every horse sprang towards my father. It was frightening me, so I slipped out of the dust and backed up. I know I should've helped my father, but he was a strong king and how could a five year old help out?

Yes, I was a coward. I was still backing up when I felt a little thud. I turned around to see the young see pegasus lying down, obviously shivering from the witness. My eyes widened. I wasn't scared anymore. It felt as if it needed comfort. I also needed comfort. I dragged my knees and hooped my arms around its neck. It nuzzled into my back and I snuggled even more into its neck.

"What is your name?" I ask, looking up into the pegasus's eyes. "Blackjack," it whinnied. I smiled at the name. I suddenly turned upside down. "My father," I say, "is scary. And your family is scary, too."

"Your father is scary, also," Blackjack says sadly, "And also my parents. Our parents always fight with each other..."

"Yes," I agreed, "Maybe we can be friends? Maybe when we grow up, I can make a peace to stop this war." Blackjack says, "Yes. I would like to be your friend. I am the prince of the stud. And you are a prince too, right?" I nodded my head. "When we are older, we will rule and make a better generation. Pegasus and the nymphs are no longer rivals," I say.

I heard the sound of calls of my name and Blackjack's. "Well, my father is calling," I say. "My father is calling, too," he says back.

"Oh, and one last thing," he says. "What?" I ask. "Whenever you call me, I'll be there for you."

And he swam away back to the crowd of fish horses. "I will," I whispered and swam away to my father.

(Out of the flashback)

I shook my head. The memory made me smile. Blackjack and I were now both seventeen. Until I turn eighteen, I would be heir to the throne and take over the sea with greater power.

I hadn't realised that the water began to shallow. Annabeth was still walking by my side, looking up at the sky. It was about four in the afternoon and we finally arrived at the island. The place where we would take refuge.

"The island Uanna told me about," Annabeth says. The island was paradise. It was only paradise if Annabeth was here with me. Because I wouldn't have reached here if it weren't for her. There were tall palm trees that were swaying in the breeze. There were all different types of rainbow colored orchids, waiting to be noticed by. There were lush green mountains that stood tall and high, acting intimidating. There was also a volcano, which seemed to never explode the red water. What caught me by surprise was that there was a sleek modern house made of marble, hanging off the edge of the mountains and overlooking the ocean.

"Woah," I say. We were now on land, and now we can finally rest ourselves and relax. Annabeth collapsed onto the yellow bleached colored sand. She giggled in sheer delight. Wow, so this island was so good that it made Annabeth giggle. "Lie down next to me, Percy!" She says. And so I did. And boy this was amazing. It felt as if you were at the messaging place in China Town! Only ten times better.

"Who are you!?" a feminine voice echoed. Annabeth and I startled, sat straight up and looked towards from where the voice came from. It was girl who looked sixteen like Annabeth. She had caramel hair and eyes. She radiated natural beauty and had nothing that fake or artificial. She looked exactly like Calypso the maid.

The girl's eyes directed towards me and her face softened. "Ermm..." Annabeth says uncomfortably, "Calypso? Is that you?" The girl, Calypso, from Annabeth's point of view snaps, "How do you know my sister's name?"

Annabeth's grey eyes met mine, saying something that we both understood. This girl wasn't Calypso, she was her sister. "Your sister is the maid of my boyfriend, Percy," Annabeth says. I nodded and waved. "And my name is Annabeth," she greets but seemed to act cold and disrespectful. "My name is Cecelia," she greets back, but wasn't negative like the way Annabeth was. "Right," Annabeth says through gritted teeth.

"Why don't you guys take a room? It seems to me that you guys are important heroes and need some rest," Cecelia says. Finally, I thought, I definitely need a rest. Cecelia leads the way and Annabeth holds my hand possessively. I gave her a look and she mouthed, "I'll tell you why later." I shrugged and just let it go.

Cecelia lead us towards a steep staircase that paved the way to the modern house. "So how do you live by yourself?" I asked her. "There are spirit servants," she replies, "Not so long ago Calypso and I swapped our places. She now works at your palace. Every millennium we swap our places and carry on."

Millennium? Didn't that mean that they were over a thousand years? "So how old are you?" I ask. Annabeth nudged my side as if to say that was rude, but it wasn't to say as if I were rude. She was smiling in amusement. I raised my eyebrows at her and she shrugged the way I did. I heard Cecelia sigh, "I'm 2000 years old." Woah, how could she stay counting?

"So basically you have only did this twice," Annabeth states. "Yes," Cecelia replies sadly, "Every month there are new visitors. Every one of them were male. My sister and I were cursed to fall in love with them and always stay heart broken. Of course you're the first female to visit us." Annabeth nods and I noticed her nose flared at the part when she was cursed to fall in love.

We were standing at the food of a big polished door that was colored white. It was about five metres high and had huge golden knobs. Cecelia pushed it and we were welcomed in front of a modern interior. I was gaping at the place and Annabeth just crossed her arms and huff some of her fringe away from her face.

To the left was the kitchen and the bar. In front was the lounge with a huge window that was overlooking the ocean, like what I saw earlier. To the right was a room with a television? And from the left of the lounge was a hallway that lead to different rooms like, bedrooms, another lounge, bathroom etc.

"Now!" Cecelia clapped her hands enthusiastically, "Go down the hall and walk until you reach the fourth door. There, you will take your sleep and whatever. Apparently Annabeth, you have to sleep on the couch because there isn't any rooms left. Sorry, this house only has two bedrooms."

Annabeth glared at her, "No. I could sleep next to my boyfriend if I wanted to. And we both have nightmares. We nee each other's comfort." What she had said was true. We bith have very frightening nightmares that nearly scare us to death. And it was no joke.

Cecelia just lamely said, "Ok. I will be in the garden at the top of the roof. I you guys need anything... yeah." She walked away and ran up the stairs. And what I heard was sobbing? I really need to get my ears checked on.

"Bad," I heard Annabeth mutter under her breath. "What's bad?" I asked her. "Percy," she says, "she is cursed to fall in love with any man that meets her eyes. Can't you see? She going to steal you off of me!" She had tears running freely down her cheeks. "And that is so, what happens if you love her back?" She whimpered. My eyes bulged out of the sockets, "What? Annabeth, no! I love you. Annabeth Chase is the one I love. I love her more than the ocean. I love her more than the skies. I love her more than Camp Half Blood. I love her more than Riptide. I love her more than my own mother. I love her more than anything!"

I lifted Annabeth's chin so her beautiful gray eyes would look back at me. "I love you, Wise Girl," I say and I leaned down to connect our lips together. My head turned and I grped her hair tightly and pressed her to me so that there wasn't any space between us.

She caught her breath and looked me into the eye, "I love you, Seaweed Brain." I grinned, "I will never stop loving you, Wise Girl." We ended it with another kiss. I love her more than infinity.
