Percy

No?

There is no way she didn't feel anything the times we were together. Sure people had one night stands all the time, no strings attached, but we were more than that...at least I thought so.

Annabeth stood up so fast it made me dizzy. "You have to leave, now." Still in shock, I continued sitting and watched as she grabbed a bag, stuffing my ninja clothes in it. Yesterday she made me shower, switching my all black get up for a set of Celev's green cameo she had conveniently in her drawer.

She was halfway out the door when I finally stood. "Why?"

The blond Israeli turned, snatched my collar and started pulling me through the maze of hallways I'd get lost in even if I had a map. I stumbled behind her, trying not to fall on my face or plow into her at the same time. "Where are we going?" I acquired but received no answer as we continued through corridors.

My shirt was released when we arrived at the only room I knew, the helicopter hanger. I looked around in confusion. I was about to ask her for the third time why we were here when I was violently shoved into the open deck of the nearest helio, the bag thumped on my stomach.

The roar of the an engine blasted through my eardrums. My hands shot to my head to cover them as my legs started to dangle from the new lack of concrete. I looked down and was very tempted to jump down, it couldn't be more than a fifteen foot drop, I'd jumped and fallen off worse. Just as I was about to, the helicopter lurched. I scrambled back further on the deck to keep from falling off as the machine started speeding up.

I watched as Annabeth's figure grow smaller as we got further and further. I sighed, situating myself so I was leaning against the pilot's chair. Suddenly a hand grabbed a hold of my under arm and started pulling me up towards him. He yelled something at me but I couldn't hear anything over the deafening roar of the vessel.

After sitting down in the co-pilot's seat, I took the helmet and slipped it over my head. A deep familiar voice crackled through the speaker. "Good to see you again boy!"

Despite everything, I smiled. "Chiron!" I called into the piece of plastic hugging my cheek. "Have you been here the whole time?"

"You bet, I out smarted those kids and hid in this helio. Annabeth found me and we set up this get away for us! We'll come back for Nico when he's served his time."

"What?" I gasped through the speakers. "You mean we're just going to leave him here?"

I heard the older man sigh. "He was sentenced by an ally for trespassing and potential espionage. Annabeth did all she could to lessen it, but he has to serve Percy, it's international law."

Amazed and defeated, slumping back in my chair, I sighed. The sun grew closer as we flew west, back to the United States without my best friend and the girl that's clouded my thoughts since the moment I met her.


Ok...

Well as far as I know, that's the end of the story. Kinda a crappy ending though, leave a lot to the imagination, unanswered questions, all the things I'll probably get heat for.

If I think of anything, you'll be the first to know.

Always yours,
