Annabeth's POV
I was crying my eyes out! Percy almost died 2 times in front of me. It was one of the most terrible feelings I ever felt. Then the giant she wolf named Lupa told me that Percy almost gave up his soul to come back to stop me. I couldn't help myself.
When Percy woke back up and kissed me I felt the sparks fly. I was so happy. He just looked at me with that mischievous smirk. He passed the test. We beat the manticore!
"Percy we did it!" I said with a smile as tears still fell down from my face.
"Yeah Annabeth. I know. I'm so proud of you. You beat that manticore by yourself." He said
"I couldn't of done it without you Percy. Please promise me one thing though, Percy." I said with a serious tone in my voice.
"What is it, Wise Girl" He said jokingly.
"Percy I'm serious. Please don't do something that stupid again! I was so worried about you. Soooo please! Promise me that." I exclaimed.
"Okay Annabeth I promise. I'm sorry I worried you so much. I have seaweed for brains remember" He said as he hugged me.
I wanted to lay there for a while but then we heard the giant wolf speak.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, Percy Jackson. We have other things to discuss.
You have successfully completed my test. You and this girl have shown that you have the courage capable of the Legion. This place will prove to be your salvation. The place where you seek young demigods.
"If I may interrupt, what is the legion Lupa.
You will find out soon enough child. Now go to Camp. It was all under you very nose. The place you seek will be guarded by 2 young demigods. You will see through the mist and find your very salvation but I must warn you. You must survive all the way to Camp.
Then Percy spoke.
"Camp!? There was a camp for people like us all along! When you say righty under our noses don't tell me. This camp you're talking about it was in San Francisco all along! Then the mist! What is that! We need answers! Tell us please!" Percy yelled.
Hahaha! You finally figured it out little demigod! Yes, Camp was in San Francisco all along! Camp Jupiter is a place for demigods like you. Although Jackson. Your little graecus friend will not be welcomed at camp. She must go. Go east find Chiron.
"No! Annabeth is staying with me! We have been together this whole time we can't just split up. Your telling me to abandon the person I care most about!" Percy exclaimed.
"Percy stop." I said.
He just looks at me with a look of pure confusion.
"Annabeth. Please don't tell me you're actually going to listen to her." He said with pure panic.
"Percy I know it's hard. But she may be right we may have to split up. I know now what I am. Percy I'm the daughter of Athena. The goddess of wisdom." I said weakly.
"So? How does that matter!? Why does that even matter Annabeth?! Isn't that a good thing?" He said.
Percy Jackson, this girl understands why she cannot go with you to Camp Jupiter.
Percy's POV
My mind was racing back and forth so fast I felt like I was going to pass out.
"What why then!?" I asked.
Then Annabeth spoke.
"Percy I can't go because my mother, Athena, is a Greek goddess. She wasn't Minerva the Roman goddess. Don't you see! The Romans and Greeks never got along the fought and battled since there time. Your father is Neptune, the Roman god of the sea." She said with pain in her voice.
I could tell that her heart was breaking as she told me this.
"Percy I can't go with you to Camp Jupiter. I have to go my own way. You have to go to Camp Jupiter without me, Percy. I'm so sorry." She said.
I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was fighting back tears.
"Annabeth please, you can't do this. We have been through so much together. You can't just leave now. We are so close."
"Percy I know that! I don't want to go. I want to stay with you! I'm different we are 2 sides of a coin. You don't know how much it hurts me to leave you Percy. I'm sorry." She muttered.
I looked into her eyes and I saw the pain in them. The hurt and pain in them looked unbearable.
My eyes were probably the same.
She just then spoke one last sentence.
"Goodbye Percy. I Love You."
She turned around and ran. I wanted to follow her but she knew I was going to try. She put on her invisibility cap and disappeared.
I ran around every looking for some way to find her. I knew it was hopeless. Even Lupa knew it was hopeless.
After I saw the sun go down I screamed. I felt like I just lost half of myself.
"ANNABETH! I don't know where you are or where you are going but just remember! At night if you ever look at the moon know that I'm on the other side staring at it to! Missing you! Please stay safe! I Love You too!
Annabeth's POV
I heard Percy's call. It just made me feel 100 times worse. My mother was right. I wanted her to be wrong so badly but she was right. I had to leave the one person I cared for with all my heart.
I just sat there all cried for a while until I couldn't anymore.
I promised myself one thing. I was going to stay strong for Percy. No more crying. I was going to stay strong for him. I felt my dagger on my hip.
I stared at it remembering the lake. Then I quickly put it away I needed to go. Go east. That's what my mother said.
What was the one place where Greeks go.
Annabeth.
Mother?
Yes my child. It is me. I know the pain you are going through my daughter. You are in so much pain. I didn't know that child of Neptune meant so much to you. I am very sorry. That boy was nothing but trouble anywa-
Mother! He wasn't trouble! He was the opposite! He made me happy Mother!
Listen, my child! I know it hurts but you are making the best choice! This is the right thing to do! Now go find Camp Half-Blood for fellow Greeks like you. Go to the town of never ending lights, where the city never sleeps. Freedom stands high and tall carrying the flame of hope. Goodbye my child I know you are in pain but please this is the best.
What do you mean mother?! What city. I must find out.
I stood up and started off leaving behind the only person I cared for.
I looked back hoping that one day I can see him again.
I prayed a silent prayer.
Please mother let me see Percy again one day. I'm begging you, please!?
Mount Olympus
Aphrodite
Wow…..that was the most terrible thing I have witnessed.
Love can be so cruel at times. I'm sorry Percabeth.
Even with my godly powers I don't know how it will end for you two.
I know your paths will cross again though.
Being the goddess of love can be so difficult sometimes. Ugh.
With a wave of her hand a veil appeared and there was Athena.
"What is it Aphrodite." She said.
"I have a question Athena. How could you do that to your daughter? You broke her heart right there. Did you not see the pain in her eyes when you spoke with her?"
Athena was silent for a moment.
"Aphrodite. Stop spying on my children. It is not your place. I did what was best for my child! That boy was not right with her!"
"Athena, do you say that because it is the truth or do you say that because of the grudge you hold against Poseidon?"
Athena now looked angry.
"What?! I do not hold childish grudges. I am the god of wisdom! Now I am taking my leave! Do not spy on my children again Aphrodite."
"Athena. It is my place. I am the goddess of love. The relationship between your daughter and the son of Neptune was undeniable. You must realize this-
"ENOUGH! Goodbye!" she yelled.
The veil disappeared and Aphrodite was sitting on her throne in her palace. Thinking.
Percy's POV
I wanted to just lie down for the rest of the night as I saw the sun set. I was just lying on a pillar for a while until I heard Lupa speak.
Percy Jackson. You must go. You cannot stay here. We have tested you and you are worthy. Go to Camp Jupiter, young demigod.
"Lupa….what is there for me at this camp."
Many things young demigod now go.
I slowly got up and started back home back home to San Francisco.
I walked for hours my feet felt like little they were burning through my shoes.
It didn't matter to me though. I couldn't stop thinking about Camp, my mom, and especially Annabeth.
I didn't know what to do. I keep going just on pure instincts to keep going on to Camp.
I made it to a highway. I have been here before. I remember it when I stayed here.
I saw the cars passing by on the highway but there in the middle of a tunnel entrance was a giant door.
I was going to head for the door until I saw it. Well then I felt it. There was a powerful stink. Something not human right was behind me. I slowly turned around and there it was.
I turn around excepting there to be a terrifying new monster but there wasn't all that was a cheerleader?
She looked like a average girl. A high school cheerleader but I felt it. She wasn't like a normal mortal.
She looked at me like I was some kind of juicy new snack to eat.
She walked up to me and then starred me in the eye.
I was too shocked to do anything at all. I was so closed to the door right there. All there was between me and the door was an interstate.
Then she spoke.
"What is a cute little thang like you doing out here all by yourself. Hmmmm…do you need a friend big booy."
I looked at her with disgust and then took out whirlwind and broke him.
There in my hands wa foot of Imperial Gold.
Although something felt wrong about it, the blade didn't fell like it was right anymore.
Usually it felt perfect in my hands but now it felt all awkward.
Then with a flash my Whirlwind was back in its pencil form.
I was literally shocked. It never happened to me before.
She just looked at me with pure pleasure.
"Oh I'm going to enjoy eating you up little demigod. Hehehe."
I looked in pure terror got ready to fight it.
She then changed into something I never would of thought.
She grew fangs and turned pale as white. I thought she was a vampire like from twilight until I looked at her legs. They were donkey feet.
Still she looked as menacing as ever. I was about to charge her until she looked around and her face turned sour.
"Damn it. At the worst time to appear son of Jupiter you will pay."
Then she burned. Her whole body turned into flames. She was gone.
I was shocked. What did she mean the son of Jupiter? I was the son of Neptune.
I turn around and busting through the door was a whole squad of kids in armor. All armed with spears and swords. There was one kid who was in the front. He had a golden helm and wore a purple cape.
He had blonde hair and carried a golden spear. From where I was standing it still looked powerful.
He looked in my direction and I stared right back.
I ran across the interstate dodging car after car. One nearly hit me if it wasn't for my godly reflexes.
When I finally made it across the squad of demigods readied all the weapons pointing at me. Then the lead kid in the golden helm with purple cape spoke.
"Who are you? Did Lupa send you?"
I just stared at him.
Then he spoke again.
"Answer my question. Please, I don't want to attack you."
Then he took another look in my eyes and spoke again.
"Your eyes they look broken like you were broken. Are you okay? We sensed an Empousa outside our camp. We had to come check it out. Now please answer my question. Did Lupa send you?"
This time I looked him in the eyes and answered him.
"Yeah I was sent by Lupa. She told me to find Camp Jupiter. My name is Percy Jackson. I'm the Son of Neptune."
Then the kid spoke again.
"Then you are a demigod like us. Hi I'm Jason Grace. I am the Son of Jupiter. Welcome to Camp Jupiter."
It was really hard writing this chapter I hated making Annabeth leave Percy! Please leave a review and favorite! tell me what you want to happen next! Ill try my best to make it happen!
