A.N. Ok guys not to be a total b, i, t, c, you know what, but is there anyway you can drop a few more reviews. I mean I hate when people say that they need more reviews to write, because I know it isn't true, but I do know it helps make you more...motivated, i guess would be the word... to write another chapter. And I don't want to say I'm too busy to write these things, but I'm pretty busy with school and stuff since I'm applying to private schools and stuff and apparently the ones that I'm applying to are some of the best in the U.S. (Choate Rosemary, Deerfield Academy, Hotchkiss, Miss Porters, you get the picture), so the pressure is on and it makes me feel good when I see a bunch of reviews waiting for me. Like I said I don't want to be a b, i, t, c, you know what, but would it kill you to drop a line?
PPOV:
"Percy... Mmmm... I love you." I heard. I opened my eyes. The room was light from outside, well as light as a room can get underwater. I looked at the other beds; they were all empty.
I felt something wrapped around my area and something pressed against my side. I had an arm around the thing and I felt a head on my chest as well as a set of hands that were lying limply. I had an urge to kiss her. So I did, I gently placed my lips to the top of her head. She had beautiful blonde hair. "Percy? Don't...don't stop." What was she dreaming about? It could be a dirty dream- no I couldn't be the subject of anyone's dirty dreams.
I sat there looking at the girl's head for a moment before the door flew open. "Little cousin!" A black hair, punk-rocker style, girl yelled as she ran into the room, but she stopped her eyes falling on the girl, "Are you and Annabeth together finally?"
"What, no. And by the way I'm your older cousin now..." I loved being a pain to Thalia; we just had that type of relationship. Why is she talking about Annabeth?
"First off, you are only older by like a few hours and are you sure? You two look awfully cozy in there." At those words I looked down and saw the girl actually was Annabeth. I had slept with Annabeth (Not like that all you perves!) and she had talked in her sleep, saying my name and she loves someone. It couldn't be me could it?My insides soared at the idea of Annabeth loving me. I realized I loved her right then and there. I don't know if it was the way she whispered that she loved someone, or if it was how she was wrapped around me or if it was the way she looked beautiful without doing anything.
"Thalia. We need to leave soon." A goth looking boy said coming into the room, "Hey Perce. You finally get the girl. You did save the world after all..."
"Hey Nico and no I didn't get the girl," I said sarcastically. He raised his eyebrows looking at Annabeth, "She just had a bad dream last night."
"Gods, it must have been really bad to make her run to you." Thalia said smirking. She walked over to Annabeth and whispered something in Annabeth's ears.
"Yes. I do." Annabeth said, her eyes fluttering open. Thalia smirked. "Well, we'll be waiting for you two love birds in the other room, once you're ready we'll leave for camp." Thalia walked out of the room, pulling Nico by the hand. Hmm. As soon as I get things straightened out with Annabeth, I'll figure out what's going on there.
"Morning." I said to the beauty that was still in my arms.
"Percy? Yo-you stayed? The entire night?" She asked, like she thought I would ditch her.
"Of course I did. I wouldn't leave you when you needed me." Her face flushed, I decided to do what she had done to me. I moved the arm that wasn't wrapped around her and brushed my finger along her cheek, she shuddered, "You look cute when you blush. But, what's the cause of it?"
"Nothing, you just reminded me of something." She said. I could tell this was only a partial truth.
"And what did it remind you of?" I wanted her to admit it.
"Nothing."
"Could it be a dream you had this morning in which you said you loved someone, perhaps?" I asked, smirking a bit.
She groaned. "How much did you hear?"
"You said my name, made some sort of noise and then said 'I love you'." I said. I couldn't look at her.
"It-it's nothing. Can we please drop it?" She asked, not looking at me.
"Fine. Let's get ready." I said.
She slid off of me and I missed the contact. She sat up and stretched. I watched her like the perve I was. My eyes went from her neck, down her back to her beautiful waist then down to her perfect rear. I loved everything about her. She had a perfect body, that was firm, but it was soft, she had a serious personality but she knew how to have fun, she was beautiful, but that was just a plus, even before she did anything in the morning.
I loved her.
TPOV: Thalia
"Lord Poseidon. Lord Hades." I said, bowing to my uncles.
"Thalia." They both responded.
"Where is Percy and I'm assuming that Nico is here as well."
"Well they are all in Kat's room. And Annabeth, Nikolas and Mikhael are there as well." Poseidon said.
"Thank you." I said bowing.
"Thalia. Cut the bowing crap." Hades said.
"Of course." I said and I turned and walked to my cousin's room on the other side of the palace.
When I got there, Katerina and Nick were playing video games on the big screen. I walked over to the boy in the corner playing with a toddler. I bent down and covered his eyes with my hands.
"Hey Thals." Nico said. He turned around and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
Nico and I had been going out for a couple months now, ever since I quit the hunters. I had told Artemis a while ago, she had yelled at Aphrodite for a bit, but she accepted it. I continued to fight with the hunters, but I was no longer a hunter. Yesterday after the war ended, Artemis and I had announced it.
"Where's Seaweed Brain and Annabeth?" I asked.
"Asleep still."
"We need to leave soon." I said. I walked to the bedroom.
"Little cousin!" I yelled, why wake Percy up nicely. I looked around the room, only one bed was occupied. Annabeth had her leg draped over Percy's waist and was resting her head and hands on his chest, Percy had his arm around her. "Are you and Annabeth together finally?" I asked my cousin who was looking at me with his sea-green eyes.
"What, no. And by the way I'm your older cousin now..." He said. I had a feeling he was saying this just to be a pain in the ass.
"First off, you are only older by like a few hours and are you sure? You two look awfully cozy in there." When I said that he looked down and his eyes bulged. I held in a snicker. And if we wanted to get technical about the whole age thing, I was fifteen when Luke, Annabeth and I had been brought to half-blood hill. Then I was a pine tree for four or five years, then I came back and was a hunter for a few years. You do the math.
"Thalia. We need to leave soon." Nico said coming up behind me, "Hey Perce. You finally get the girl. You did save the world after all..."
"Hey Nico and no I didn't get the girl, she just had a bad dream last night."
"Gods, it must have been really bad to make her run to you." I said smirking. I walked over to Annabeth.
I bent down to put my mouth to her ear, "Do you love Percy? And do you want to spend the rest of you're life with him." I knew the answer, but I wanted to have her confirm it.
"Yes. I do." Annabeth said, her eyes fluttering open.
I smirked. "Well, we'll be waiting for you two love birds in the other room, once you're ready we'll leave for camp." I walked out of the room, pulling Nico by the hand.
I closed the door and pressed my ear to the door. Nico went back to playing with his little half-brother.
"Morning." Percy said.
"Percy? Yo-you stayed? The entire night?" Annabeth asked.
"And what did it remind you of?" I wanted her to admit it.
Percy kept talking, but I drowned him out. Nothing interesting, but then something caught my interet.
"Could it be a dream you had this morning in which you said you loved someone, perhaps?" He asked, I could almost hear him smirking.
She groaned. "How much did you hear?"
"You said my name, made some sort of noise and then said 'I love you'." He said. Oh my god! Is she going to tell him. Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! The time I spent at camp, I had heard a bunch of rumors that Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena had fallen in love with her mother's enemy's son, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. First I was surprised Poseidon had a son, what with the pact and all, but then again, Zeus had me. Then I realized Annabeth Chase was the little girl I used to treat sort of liek a dauhgter, back when it was Luke, Annabeth and I. I went off to find her. I met Percy and thought he was okay, so since then I had been waiting for her to tell him.
"It-it's nothing. Can we please drop it?" She said, not looking at him.
"Fine. Let's get ready." He said.
I closed the door. Dammit. Dammit, Dammit! She didn't tell him! And Percy, since he is such a good guy, just let it drop. I was going to KILL him!
APOV:
He dropped it! Thank gods. The truth is, I love him so much it hurts. So when he started to strip right infront of me, I almost died. I guess he figured, since he was keeping on his boxers I wouldn't mind. Let me tell you, he was hot! His stomach and chest were sculpted perfectly, as were his arms, but the weren't the super muscley types, that were kind of creepy. Percy was buff in a healthy way, a way that made his tanned skin seem to glow, that might have been left over effects from Achilles' curse, since he had asked to be rid of it, and each of the big three agreed.
I watched him change into a pair of light blue jeans, a dark blue hoodie, sea green t-shirt. He was beautiful.
"You like what you see, Chase?" He asked.
I blinked a bunch of times, but when I tried to speak, all you heard was "Ahhh...Ughh...", which he smirked at.
"Go get changed." He said gesturing to the closet. I nodded and stripped right there. I could tell he was watching and a red flush covered my body, "Something wrong Wise Girl?"
"No." I said.
"So you won't mind if I do this?" I felt arms wrap around my bare waist and pulled me against him.
"No-not at all." I stuttered as I flushed a deeper shade of red.
He chuckled. "I'll leave you to get dressed." Now this is where I lost track of things that actually happened and things I wished had happened. First I felt lips near my ear, his lips, they moved down my jaw, then pulled away. I felt hands, his hands, go up to my bra, on finger slid under on each side, but pulled out quickly. Then I couldn't feel him against me anymore. I turned around to see...no one. Stupid son of the sea god.
I got changed quickly, not really looking at the cloths I had chosen out of a closet. I walked out into the main room and saw Percy smirking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Percy said, still smirking.
"Whatever." I said, and started to walk off out the door. Percy followed.
PPOV:
"It-it's nothing. Can we please drop it?" She said, not looking at me.
"Fine. Let's get ready." I said.
I heard Thalia close the door. I had known she had been listening, and since she was so protective over Annabeth, I didn't want to push it farther with her watch it, but I could practically hear Thalia mentally cursing me.
Now that Thalia was gone, I wanted to see how far I could push it. Honestly I hoped she liked me because I loved her. And this was only a way to get her to admit it. So right there I stripped in front of her with me back to her. I kept my boxers on since I'm stupid and never asked for any to be brought. Oh well, I've been wearing them since the beginning of the final battle another day won't hurt. I could sense her watching me change. It was a bit unsettleing, but it was great at the same time.
"You like what you see, Chase?" I asked.
She blinked a bunch of times, but when she opened her mouth to speak, all I heard was "Ahhh...Ughh...", I smirked at her.
"Go get changed." I said, gesturing to a closet. She nodded and stripped right there. I watched. The last time I had seen Annabeth with this much (or little, depending on how you look at it) cover was when we had gone swimming in the Lake at camp a bunch of years ago. She had been hot then, and ever since she had grown in the best possible ways. I felt the 'problem' coming back. Crap. I was still watching her when a red flush covered her body, "Something wrong Wise Girl?"
"No." She said.
"So you won't mind if I do this?" I said before I could stop myself. I have no idea how, but suddenly I was right behind her, wrapping my arms around her perfect waist. I pulled her so her back was against my chest. I rested my hands "No-not at all." She stuttered as she flushed a deeper shade of red.
I chuckled. "I'll leave you to get dressed."
I couldn't help myself; I pressed my lips to the area right above her ear and moved them down her jaw, then pulled away. I brought my hands up to her bra, I slid one finger under each side, but pulled out quickly. Crap! What did I just do? What kind of a best friend am I? Thank the gods I was in my father's realm, since I was able to turn myself into water vapor, but it only worked underwater since I needed a ton of strength. Anyway, I popped myself into the main room and waited for Annabeth to come out.
I waited for five minutes when she came out. I couldn't help but smirk. She was wearing light blue skinny jeans, that I'm guessing were Katerina's, the bottom were tucked into a pair of black uggs; which I never thought I would see Annabeth in since the were 'impractical'. Then she was wearing my New York City sweatshirt. It was my favorite; it was black with white lettering, New on one row, York on the next row and City on the next. Then over the writing there were 'paint splatters' all over in bright neon colors.
"What?" She asked, seeing my smirk.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." I said, still smirking.
"Whatever." She said, and started to walk off out the door. I followed.
We walked down the hallways to the throne room where everyone was waiting. I looked around the room. In one corner, Zeus and Hades stood, Hades had Mikhael in his arms, with Hera, Persephone and Demeter. They were all talking and Hades was sort of bouncing, trying to keep Mikhael from crying. I still couldn't get used to the lord of the dead being a caring father. Hermes, Ares, Dionysus, Aphrodite and Hephaestus were in another corner looking at something out a window. Apollo and Artemis were in another corner arguing.
"Well everyone, we are leaving for camp." Poseidon said from his place on his throne. To my surprise it was Athena who stood beside him, her eyebrows knotted together looking at Annabeth.
"Annabeth, why are you wearing a boy's sweatshirt?" I smirked. Athena had noticed, she might not know it was mine, but she picked up on the fact it was a guys.
Annabeth glanced down and her face became the shade of a tomato. "I, ugh, I didn't notice. Sorry Percy, I'll go back and changed." She turned to go back to the bedroom to change, but I grabbed her around her waist so my arm was across her stomach.
"Don't. It's fine. It looks better on you." I whispered in her ear. She looked at me, confused, but she smiled at me.
"Unless you want Chiron to put you all on house arrest, I suggest we get going." Poseidon said, a little agitated, but I could see the smirk in his eyes. He knew it was my sweatshirt and I think he knew I love Annabeth, but I'm not sure.
We all got into a blob around Poseidon, Katerina and I. We opened the doors and the three of us formed a huge air bubble around everyone. And then we were off to camp, with the gods following. This should be interesting.
