Witness Protection

Chapter 8

PERCY POV

I woke up early to make breakfast and get Annabeth and I's camp gear ready. For camp, we are bringing swimsuits, extra clothes, notebooks, pencils, a first aid kit, and many more things. I walked to the kitchen and turned on a little flat screen TV that we installed to watch the news.

"Terrorist attacks have been struck on New York more frequently mow days." The news broadcaster said, "The townspeople have been staying indoors, only walking to get somewhere they HAVE to go."

I sighed and turned it off. Kronos's men were not happy about Annabeth knowing things. And when they aren't happy… havoc happens.

I took out pancake mix and worked my magic. I decided to take out my iPod, and I listened to one of my favorite songs. Hero by Nickleback. Some reason, it just makes me think that I can do anything. And I defiantly needed that now.

"And they say a hero can save us,

I'm not going to stand here and wait"

I wasn't going to wait for the FBI to get on with the mumbo jumbo, and catch Luke. But I knew I had to. For Annabeth.

Annabeth came in the kitchen then, stumbling to the fridge and took out juice. "Sleeping Beauty awakes!" I joked. Annabeth looked at me and smiled.

"Percy, I've been thinking… why don't we invite the councilors over? I mean, it will seem like we are a couple if we have parties." She suggested. I flipped a pancake.

"Sure." I said, and Annabeth hugged me.

"Great! I'll send out invitations today at camp!" Annabeth speed walked off to our room, doing who knows what.

I walked to the cabinet, and pulled out two plates. I put the finished pancakes on them, and got butter and syrup. I took a knife and fork from a different storage unit, and sat down, preparing myself to eat my creation.

All of the sudden, Annabeth came running in, yelling my name, and I accidentally flung the plate in the air, and my creation fell on my head. "Whoops." Annabeth's faint voice spoke behind me.

I turned around and saw Annabeth. She was dressed for camp, and she held a stack of papers in her hand. "Annabeth!" I mumbled through my teeth. Her eyes widened, and she put the papers down and took off toward the stairs. I followed.

I chased her in and out of rooms, and I figured something out. Annabeth was quick. Man, my life sucks. I finally caught her in the living room, and I grabbed her waist from behind, spinning her around.

Annabeth was squealing. Annabeth? Squealing? Doesn't match up.

I sat her down and looked at her. Her hair was windblown from running, and she was breathing heavily. I couldn't stop myself. I pulled her in for a kiss.

ANNABETH POV

Percy kissed me. And the thing that surprised me was… I was kissing him back. I wrapped my fingers in his gooey syrupy hair, and he put his hands on my waist. I felt his wedding band on my hip and I felt quaint.

He pulled away and looked down. I instantly missed his arms around me. I needed him there.

"S-Sorry… I-l'll go now…" Percy stutterd then tried to run off. I grabbed his hand, and held it.

"There's nothing to be sorry for. I felt something in that kiss… and well, if you did too, I think we need to do something about it." I said the last part quietly.

Percy looked at me through the syrup seeping down his face. "I felt something too." He said, smiling. I smiled a very goofy smile… for a woman.

I hugged him, and I told him to get a shower. He did need it. Percy agreed, and went to take a shower.

After he left I did a happy dance. Percy and I am a thing! Well… maybe. I became nervous, and chewed my nails. I used to do it when I was younger, and it was a bad habit that I had... oh, will you just hurry up with that shower!

Percy came down the stairs looking like a knight in shining armor. He had his blue button down shirt on, and skinny jeans, but not too skinny, just the kind that hug your skin, but at the ankles don't, well, it's a lot like Justin Beiber. Okay?

But Percy is way hotter than Justin Beiber. Just saying.

"Hey Annabeth." Percy said, and took my hand, leading me to the couch.

We sat down, and Percy put a arm around my shoulders. I smiled and leaned against him. I was content on staying there for awhile.

"Annabeth Chase, will you be my girlfriend?" Percy asked. I looked up and smiled.

"Yes. I will… But what about your father?"

PERCY POV

"Yes I will, but what about your father?" that question made my smile turn upside down. What about my father?

"I honestly don't know." I admitted. I felt Annabeth stiffen in my arms.

"Well… let's not let him figure out." Annabeth said, snuggling into my arms.

"Yeah. Let's not." I said. I kept Annabeth close to me until the alarm went off meaning we had to go to work. Great. More work.

Annabeth stood up and grabbed the invitations while I grabbed our bags. "Let's go." I said, taking Annabeth's hand in mine, and lead her out the door.

When we got to camp, I recognized the cars that belonged to Grover and Nico. They were here already. Great. I'm being really sarcastic today…

Annabeth and I kissed, and separated to our cabins that we are assigned to. I walked in, not bothering to knock. Hey, this was my cabin too, right?

"Adela! Aaron!" I yelled, walking in. I heard groans from the beds. "WAKE UP!" I yelled. The two shot up at the same time, and it was hilarious.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Adela yelled. Aaron and I looked at her in shock. Apparently someone was cranky.

"You need to get up, take a shower, and whatever. Breakfast is being served in ten minutes." I explained. The twins took off to the showers.

I used to time and read some books on underwater sea creatures. Did you know that sea horses can be .6 to 14 inches long? I did not know that.

Thanks for reading this Chappie! Hopefully I'll have the next chapter out soon! This charade ends at midnight tonight, so stay tuned!
