WISE GIRL!:
After that I hurried off with Andrew to rally the others so we could get to camp that day. I REALLY needed to see Rachel (I never knew I would say that).
I think Percy realized something was up but he didn't say anything.
***
We were traveling through the woods and I stood amongst the children. Their eyes were full of fear as we trekked through the forest.
Somewhere along the line a wall of fire took over our path and we were forced to go around. Andrew nearly walked straight into it. I guess that's what the prophecy meant.
As we were running along through the forest a girl appeared in our path. She had long, flowing blonde hair with deep blue eyes. She wore a shimmering white dress and smiled at us.
"Hello. I am daughter of Aphrodite. I come to bear news..." She trailed off, her beautiful face turning grave. "I have made a choice that impacts your mission. I am coming along. I will go to Camp Half Blood and stir my siblings. We will go to our mother's land at sundown."
***
That was that.
Time was dragging but soon enough we reached New York.
Then we were at the foot of Camp Half Blood.
The kids ran up the hill, full of energy and happiness.. renewed hope.
Percy, Grover, and I leasurely walked up the hill. Flashbacks. Oh! The flashbacks.
Only now I know. Oh God, I know.
Chiron met us at the boarder. "Take them to Hermes.. Except for Lee Anne here. Take her to Aphrodite." He told us before cantering off.
I turned to Percy and Grover. "Could you take them? I have to go somewhere." I told them.
"Yeah... sure. But I need to go see Jupiter." Grover said to me.
"Thanks Grover." I kissed his cheek and ran off to Rachel's cave.. gr. I really disliked this place.
She was sitting on the couch watching TV when I came in. "Hi Annabeth."
"Rachel. Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah. Sit... talk away." She told me, patting the couch beside her.
"Rachel. What am I supposed to do? I know... I know my fate. Or... rather my kid's fate. It's them. They are the children of the prophesy. What should I do? How am I supposed to go on... with Percy... when I know.... what I know?" I rambled, plopping down beside her.
"Oh Annabeth. Any daughter of Athena knows that you can't mess with fate." She told me.
"But how can I be with him when I know.. that.. our children are going to have the same kind of life as us? How.."
She turned to look at me, eyes soft. "I understand, believe me. I understand completely. But.. Annabeth. You love Percy, right?"
I smiled, thinking about him. His eyes and his hair and... yeah. Him.
"Yes. I really do."
"Don't forget that. You HAVE to let the prophecy happen. You can't tamper with fate Annabeth, and Percy loves you. You love Percy. Let the chips fall where they may."
Hey guys. I'm sorry it's been a while. (sorry i put, 'that's the end' at the end of the chapter. i meant the end of the chapter. that and this chapter has been very emotionally exhausting for me..)
Love and hugs:
