A.N. Hey guys! Sorry for being so late. I was on vacation in disney and I really didn't feel like paying '$9.99 for 24 hrs of continuos Wi-Fi'. Anyway, I literally just got home and I'm posting right now. I have another couple chapters that are ready to go out. The more reviews the faster they come out! JK. They'll come out anyway, but I really do appreciate the reviews.
PPOV:
"Okay, Percy's turn first." Annabeth said, "Pick a question for her." She gestured to my sister.
"Okay. What the Ha-hell is your name?" I asked, catching myself so I wouldn't end up with Hades.
"Katerina Jackson." She answered. "My turn, what's your name?" She asked Annabeth.
The game went on and on until we had all asked and answered twenty here's what I found out.
My sister's name was Katerina Jackson, but the gods knew her as just Katerina and people close to her call her Kat. She was twelve, but everyone thought she looked older like I had. Poseidon had been teaching her how to use her powers, but she had never been good at sword fighting so she just gave up on it and tried to master her powers over water. Her favorite color was blue (big surprise) and her favorite food was sushi (wait 'till the fish hear about that). Athena was like her mother, since she had never met her real mom. She wanted to meet mom and was happy that she would be staying with us for the summer and going to camp with us tomorrow. She really didn't want to share a cabin with me. She knew only a few demi-gods and those were the other children of the big three we had met earlier. She had known Nikolas since she was ten, when Zeus came down offering peace to Poseidon (which didn't work out) and since I was already fourteen and would probably make it to sixteen they accepted the two of them had other children. Hades heard of this so he had Mikhael. Hades was actually a really cool uncle and spoiled her (that's how she got the flat screen TV in the other room).
I didn't really pay attention to Annabeth's since I already knew about most of those things.
Nikolos liked to be called Nick. His mother had died while giving birth to him, so Zeus had took him in. I had to say, no offense to the big three or anything, but I never would have guessed they would be willing to care for their mortal children. He could use a little bit of his father's power, but not much. He was much better at hand-to-hand combat... He reminded me a lot of his elder half-sister Thalia, who would be returning to camp this year to help with rebuilding of Artemis's cabin. From what I heard, she and Artemis had talked for a while and they had decided that it would be best if Thalia was no longer a hunter. I don't know what the reasons were, but they decided on that, so now Thalia is going to become mortal once more and this time she's younger than me by a year since she is fifteen. She's going to love that!
"Kids. Bed." A voice said from the door. It was Athena. She walked into the room as we all picked a bed. She kissed both Annabeth and Katerina on the forehead and ruffled Nick's hair. Then she walked to my bed, "Percy can I talk to you in the other room."
"Mom, please." Annabeth whispered from her bed. She didn't know Athena didn't hate me anymore.
"Annabeth, get some rest." Athena said as she walked into the other room with me following her.
"Lady Athena."
"Percy. Just call me Athena." She said exasperated, "Anyway, I want to talk to you about my daughter. How long have you been in a relationship with my dear Annabeth?"
"Wh-what? No we're just friends." I said. I could feel my face turn tomato red, after all, what friend thinks his friend is hot and sexy?
"Really? Because I can read thoughts..." She said with a sly smile. Crap. "I would put it a bit nicer, but Crap sums it up nicely." My face turned even reader, if that's possible... "Anyway, I didn't want to talk to give you the same color wheel as a tomato, I just wanted to say, after what you have done today, for mankind as well as the gods, I approve of any form of relationship with my daughter." I smiled. Athena, who probably hated me this morning, was now saying I could do anything with her daughter... "First off, hate may be a strong word... I would say strongly dislike... and you should rephrase the '...do anything with her daughter' because if she comes home pregnant, before wedlock, or if you deliberately hurt her, I will blast you to the depths of tartarus."
"I would never ever hurt Annabeth, even when we are sword fighting I go as easy as I can on her without getting my head chopped off..." At this she smirked.
"Really? Because she says she goes as easy as she can on you since you 'kinda suck.' so you may want to step up your game a little bit." She laughed and for the first time, I laughed with her, "Well you should go to bed, you are going back to camp tommorrow. Goodnight Percy."
"Goodnight Athena." I turned and walked back towards the bedroom.
"Oh and Percy?" I stopped and turned to look at Athena, "I suggest you make your move quick, before someone else does." She said with a knowing look, but then again she was the goddess of wisdom, so it may just be her looking at me...
Then she disappeared. I walked back into the bedroom, closing the door quietly behind me. I glanced around only two beds were occupied. In one was Annabeth and in the other were Katerina and Nick. Nick was spooning her and had his arms wrapped around her waist. I know I just met her today and most of our conversations had been fights or not to kind to say the least, I still felt protective of her. I shrugged it off for now and walked over to Annabeth, who was curled up in a ball on her side. I sat down on the edge of her bed and placed my hand on her cheek lightly. I loved the feel of her skin, even with all the work she did outside, it was always so smooth, unlike most demigods who usually have calluses or chapped skin. I moved my hand to her hair and tangled it into her blonde curls. I loved how the curls weren't exactly ringlet curls but were close. This way they looked soft and playful. I refused to let this beauty slip away from me. I decided to risk things so I leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. She stirred so I got up and quietly ran to my bed, but she never woke up. That night I fell asleep with the feeling of Annabeth's skin on my lips.
APOV:
I lay in bed, curled up in a ball with my eyes close, trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't; not knowing that my mother was talking to Percy alone. I heard the door open and opened my eyes a fraction of a centimeter. I saw Percy standing in the doorway. He turned back around and I heard my mother's voice say something about making his move before... and then I couldn't hear her. He nodded a bit then walked further into the room, closing the door.
He surveyed the room, grimacing when he looked in the direction of his sister's bed, then he walked over to my bed. He looked down at me a smile playing around his lips. He sat down beside me, I decided to close my eyes and pretend to be sleeping to see what he would do.
He placed his hand on my cheek lightly. He kept his hand there for a moment, rubbing soothing circles around my temple with his thumb. His hand moved to my hair and tangled into my blonde curls. I loved how it felt when he touched me, even in those simple actions. I remember one time at camp we were doing hand to hand combat and I fell on top of him. His body felt so good pressed against mine, but of course Nico had to ruin it by appearing out of nowhere and snickering, but that's another story. He leaned down hesitantly and pressed his lips to my forehead. It took all my willpower not to have my eyelids fly open, I heard him run quietly to his bed. I fell asleep with a smile on my face, thinking of Percy's lips on my skin.
