Witness Protection

Chapter 6

ANNABETH POV

I woke up in bed, feeling like a mess. Oh, that's right. That jerk downstairs made me cry. Wait… were did he sleep? Now I feel like an airhead. I changed into Jeans and a camp shirt Poseidon gave us from the drawer.

It read camp half blood… what a different name for a camp. I walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen, only to find a shirtless Percy making scrambled eggs and toast. "Hey." I said, getting his attention.

He turned around giving me a view of his wash-board abs. "Hey, look… I'm sorry for yesterday. I'm actually happy that I get to be the one to protect you. Just… yesterday was a hard day for me, so… friends?" He stuck out his hand.

I met him half way and we smiled. I blushed when our eyes met. Oh Percy, if only we could be more than friends… I shook my head from the thought. We were doing this on strict business. I mean, if we don't protect ourselves and stay under the radar, we could be killed.

I grabbed a plate and helped him dish up. It's amazing how fast we can switch moods of each other. I mean, we are complete opposites. Opposites attract… right?

"Percy? When do we have to go?" I asked. He looked at his watch and shrugged.

"We have to be there at nine and its eight right now, so I guess when we finish breakfast?" Percy asked me.

"When we finish breakfast." I concluded.

We ate the rest of the delicious breakfast in peaceful quietness and put the dishes in the sink. "Go get your shirt on, and we'll go." I told him as he raced up the stairs to the master. I grabbed the car keys and stood by the door.

"Back!" he exclaimed when he came back down the stairs. He was wearing the tee shirt too, and I showed him the keys.

"I drive." His face turned to a pout and I pushed him to the car.

"Hey! Percy! Annabeth!" I looked at who was yelling and Percy was leaning on me so we fell.

"Oomph!" Percy grunted when he hit the groaned. I just moaned in pain. He landed on my arm… I think I heard a crack. "Annabeth? Sweet heart, are you okay?" he was just acting for any onlookers. He would never call me sweat heart. I just closed my eyes and tried to make the pain pass.

"NICO! GROVER!" he yelled, and two people came running over. Oh no.

"Owe." I said. I heard Percy sigh in what I think was relief.

"Good, you're not unconscious. I thought we had to take another trip to the hospital." Percy said, and grabbed my bad arm. I screamed, arching my back.

"Don't touch me there." I said with my teeth clenched. Percy looked in pain too. I softened up. "Why do you look like you're in pain?" I asked.

"Because you are." He said, and Grover and Nico chuckled. I shook my head at Nico and Grover.

"You don't have to be in pain when I am. It's not right." I mumbled, looking at his soft, plump lips. Man, how much I wanted to kiss those.

"It's my job to Annabeth. And even if it weren't, I'm pretty sure I would be anyway." I was touched.

"Can we go now?" Nico asked impatiently. Grover nudged him with his elbow.

"Shut up you idiot, they were having a moment." Grover scolded him. He turned to us, "Excuse us." He dragged Nico to his car and took off to camp. We laughed.

"Lets go, love." Percy said giving me a wink.

"Yes, let's go, sweet." Percy helped me up with my other arm and he tied it with athletic tape. We got in the car and went to camp half blood.

In the car Percy and I went over sleeping plans. We would sleep together in the same bed… and if I didn't want to or if he backed out, Percy would sleep in the teenager room.

When we got to camp, I noticed that it was rather fun. I saw a canoe lake (that Percy was ecstatic about), A dining pavilion, a beach (Again, Percy was ecstatic) and twelve cabins. Each was based on a Greek God or Goddess. The person who runs the camp apparently is Greek too. Percy said that his father knows him.

We entered the camp and walked to the Big house. And you'll never guess who I saw there. "Chiron?" Percy and I asked at the same time. We looked at each other like, "How do you know him?"

"Hello Percy and Annabeth. Welcome to camp half blood." Chiron said. We looked around and saw kids running around playing basketball, volleyball, you name it.

"You work here?" Percy asked. I smacked the back of his head.

"Of course he works here, seaweed brain! Why else would he be here?" I exclaimed, throwing an apologizing look at my old neighbor.

"Seaweed brain?" Percy asked, giving me a smirk. I blushed.

"Yeah. You spend so much time under water; you have seaweed in your head instead of a brain." I told him crossing my arms.

He held up his arms in defeat. "Whatever you say, wise girl." He taunted.

I shook my head at him and turned to Chiron. "What's the verdict?" I asked.

"Well, each camper gets 'claimed' by a god or goddess. To claim them, we send a cabin counselor to act as that god or goddess, and announce them to the rest of the camp. This camp goes on year-round, and I work as the main Activity's director. You two will be cabin counselors. Annabeth the Athena cabin and Percy… the Poseidon cabin." We nodded.

"Nico's the Hades counselor, and Grover is the satyr protector person." Percy told me a when we left the Big house.

"How do you know?" I asked. How did he know?

"They texted me." Oh, that explains it. He walked me to the Athena cabin and kissed my cheek. I knew that it could be a friend gesture or much more. It was the perfect attraction.

I smiled and walked into the cabin. Honestly, I wasn't surprised to see that the kids pushed the bunks over to the side and used the rest of the space for blue prints to more cabins, and books. My kind of people.

"Hello, my name is Annabeth Jackson, and I'm your new camp counselor." I said. Each of them looked at me and smiled.

"I'm Malcolm, the other consoler in this cabin." A tall dude said, standing up. I smiled and shook the hand he held out. I was going to like it here.

PERCY POV

I kissed Annabeth's cheek when she departed to the Athena cabin, and my lips felt like they were on fire, but a good kind of fire. She smiled at me and I walked to the Poseidon cabin in a daze. I can't fall for her, yet I can't not fall for her at the same time.

I looked at the cabin before I walked in. it looked like a large piece of underwater rock. I instantly loved it. When I walked in, I saw a boy and a girl. Both young, like 9 years old.

"My name's Adela." The girl said. She had brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Mine's Aaron." The boy said. He had brown hair and emerald eyes. They both have the athlete look, and they both have the same face, nose, and eye shape. These two were twins.

"Well, my name's Percy Jackson, and I get to teach you what children of Poseidon really do." I told them. I looked around the room and saw a trident. I picked it up and put it on Aaron's shoulder. "I name you Aaron…"

"Wite."

"Prince of the sea." I said with the help of Aaron. I put the trident on Adela's shoulder. "I name you Adela Wite, Princess of the sea." She smiled and hugged me.

I told them our schedule for the day, and we went to the canoe lake to get some Poseidon kid time in. We had a canoe race, swimming race, and we relaxed in the water. We all prefer to be in the water though, too. It feels at peace here. And I like it.

Thanks for reading the chappie, and I hope you Peeps like it!
