Again everyone was saying this before... so I don't own the characters.
Annabeth's POV
It was so nice walking with Percy after he'd just told me he loves me and saved my arm from a hydra bite. Of course Leo was somewhere and could be injured, the safety of Camp Half Blood was in jeopardy, the clearing we were walking towards was on fire, but he had his arm around me, and hadn't taken it off. I may have survived Tartarus with him, he may have tore my heart apart when he went missing, but Seaweed Brain was the only person I had truly, sincerely ever loved.
Apparently Percy was thinking the same thing, because he leaned in to me, "Even when you're exhausted from running, you're really beautiful," he kissed me softly, but it was quick too, because Grover ran over to us.
"How did that thing get past our boarders?" he exclaimed. Then he saw how tired we were. "Are you guys okay?"
Never been better, I wanted to say.
"Yeah, we're fine," Percy said. "Is Leo? He saved our butts back there."
Grover nodded. "Little shaken up, but he's fine. Chiron is worried though.." Grover's expression was worried, too. I was. If Camp Half Blood was no longer a safe place for Greek demigods, they would have to leave and go to Camp Jupiter. They had fixed the rivalry, but a whole legion of Greek demigods inhabiting Roman territory would be pretty unnatural.
Percy, Grover, and I exchanged looks. Percy's grip on me was slightly tighter, as if he was prepared to fight any monster as long as I was safe. My boyfriend is amazing that way. Chiron galloped in as campers put out the fire. Frank and Hazel, who were visiting from Camp Jupiter, backed away nervously.
"Percy, Annabeth. Good to see you're both in one piece. Do you know anything about the hydra breaking into camp?" Chiron asked us.
"We heard a bang, and that was it. We were fortunate enough that Leo was there to save us, or we would've been monster food," Percy told him.
Chiron turned grim. The idea of a big monster like that breaking into camp... More trouble? Gods. Couldn't all these monsters give us a break for maybe a year or two? They always popped up like that, and the world seemed to always need saving. Well the world could save itself this time, because all I wanted to do was be with my Seaweed Brain.
It was time to think. When had monsters attacked camp before? Like a million times. But when had I witnessed it?
...
Of course! When the Labyrinth opened up! Gods, my first kiss with Percy. It was such a long time ago. Sorry... getting off topic. Maybe the Labyrinth entrance in camp had opened up accidentally.
"Remember when the Labyrinth opened up and all the monsters attacked camp?" I asked. I got solemn looks from that comment. Time to try again.
"Maybe that's what happened. We should send a search party to seal off the entrance again," I finished. People nodded in agreement.
"Ok I'll come with you," Percy said. "That's okay, right?"
"Only two might be dangerous." a new voice suggested. It was Nico, who had come with hear what had happened. "If you're okay with it, I'll come."
Percy agreed, so we headed off to the opening of the nightmarish maze. I hoped I would never have to go in there again, even for a few minutes.
"I'm just saying, I remember when you two weren't even dating. Percy you were so crazy over her, and you still are," Nico remarked.
"You asked if she was my girlfriend," Percy said. "The question freaked me out."
I laughed in spite of myself. "And now he can say yes. Or I'd probably beat him up,"
Ookay, I don't really know what to put next so you'll be stuck waiting! Mwahahahahhahha... No I'm gonna start working on it write now. Get it? WRITE now? HA!
