Hey guys! FIRST CHAPTER OF PERCABETH IS UP(: It's called 'Of All The Moments'.
So, I got some guesses, which was good(: I got Reyna, Annabeth, Calypso, and some 'I don't know's. The correct answer was Calypso. The winning answer was made by the guest Gabbynumber1fan, who popped upon my reviews a few days ago and has reviewed every chapter since! Bravo, Gabby!. I actually have a really good friend named Gabby and you seem a lot like her through your reviews. That is a good thing(: Haha. People tell me that sometimes and I'm just like "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Okay, anyways.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the writers you have told me that I'm a good writer and that this is the best HoH they've read! That means a lot(: My heart just grew three sizes! (And I only say that because my brother told me I didn't have feelings last night. Yeah, he is nice.)
Okay, Chapter 17! But first, I have a question, well, two questions. #1 Are my chapters too long or too short? Just curious.
#2 Did you guys like the mystery chapter? I have a few more characters I want to introduce in a little bit and I just wanted to know if you like them that way. Those would be in second person as well. They are all known characters, so I would give you clues again, except this time it won't be obvious!
Okay, chapter time. Let's try Annabeth(:
Annabeth:
They were there. In the corner. The, um- what's the word? Annabeth groaned and buried her face in her hands. It was getting so hard to remember. So hard to stop them. It was just so hard. The names, the people, what they were. What were they called? She saw them yesterday. The- Kobalos. Yes. That was it. Now what did they do? Annabeth didn't know. She didn't care anymore. She just wanted them to go away. She wanted this to be over. She wanted-
The Kobalos started to morph. Oh, no. Please don't let them be Percy again. Please no. He was mean when he came from them. So was Leo. And Jason. And Frank and Hazel, but they didn't come very often. They didn't like her anymore, Annabeth was sure. Why else would they want to hurt her? Piper didn't come from them. She said she didn't want to hurt her. Was she on Annabeth's side? Or was she on their side? She said she was on their side and that Annabeth was on the bad side. Annabeth didn't know what the bad side even was. Percy and Jason and Leo and Frank and Hazel hurt her, but Piper didn't. Calypso didn't either. But Annabeth suspected she didn't really know about what was going on. What was going on? Annabeth didn't know either. She just knew she was alone. Besides Calypso and the other girl who showed up sometimes. Who was she? Annabeth didn't know. She couldn't remember. She remembered she hated not knowing, but maybe it was a good thing. Maybe-
It morphed into Leo. Oh, no. He threw fire. It's how Annabeth learned how to control her fire, so she could defend herself, but she wasn't very good at it. Where was Tony? Tony was supposed to protect her, but he never did. Even if she screamed her loudest scream. He would come in, but then he would just snort and walk back out, as if saying Annabeth was silly. Annabeth wasn't silly. She was serious. They hurt her and her feelings. She didn't like it when they hurt her feelings. They were mean. Really mean. Annabeth decided she didn't want to see them anymore. No one. Because no one helped her, besides Piper and Calypso. But they always left. They were gone longer than they were there. Maybe they didn't like her either. She wasn't sure. Tony didn't like her. He let the Kobalos hurt her. He wasn't protecting her. And Leila was mean, too. Annabeth didn't know why she talked to any of them. She liked Piper, but she felt loyal to Leila. Even if she didn't like her. But the feeling was mutual. With everybody. No one liked her because they liked to hurt her. But then Piper told her they were good. This confused Annabeth. Piper said they were hallucinations. Annabeth couldn't remember what that meant.
Leila could control Annabeth's powers. She could read Annabeth's mind like Piper could. But she didn't know about Piper. Annabeth didn't know why Piper didn't want Leila to know. Maybe they didn't like her. Well, they obviously didn't like each other. One was the bad side and one was the good side. But Annabeth didn't know which was which.
Leo walked up towards her with his crazy grin and his crazy hair with fire dancing on the ends like that happened when he got excited. He looked nice today. Maybe he wouldn't try to hurt her today. Maybe-
Ow. He hit Annabeth in the face. She rubbed her nose. She was bleeding. Her nose felt crooked. It hurt. Why did they always hurt her. What did she do? Annabeth's anger flared. She didn't like her when they hurt her for no reason. Annabeth's hands started to tingle. They were glowing. Good. She pointed her glowing hand towards Leo. She felt the tingly stuff go away and Leo was gone. That was good. She didn't like Leo. She used to. They used to be friends. But then he went bad and she didn't know why he didn't like her anymore. Leo was on Piper's side. Can't Piper see that Leo is bad? Just like Jason and Frank and Percy and Hazel?
Why didn't Percy like her anymore? He told her he wouldn't hurt her. He told her he loved her. Why would he hurt her then? He didn't hurt her like the others though. He hurt her feelings. Is that was happens when people loved each other? Annabeth didn't know. She knew that she felt butterflies in her stomach when she thought about the time they went to Paris. But she didn't like it when he hurt her feelings. She didn't like it when he came. She really didn't. But she still got excited when she saw him. Like she got excited when anyone came. She thought they were going to rescue her, but they never did. Annabeth liked Percy's eyes. They were her favorite color. Green. Calypso knew her favorite color was green. She painted her walls a light green in her cottage. Annabeth like Calypso. Maybe she should stay here with Calypso. With her friend who wasn't mean to her. Even if she didn't stay for long. Annabeth got up from her desk. She was looking at books. Annabeth liked books. She liked the stories and the adventure. Annabeth vaguely wondered if she had ever had adventure. She feels like she did, but she couldn't remember if that was just a dream. Just like she felt that Jason and Leo and Percy and Hazel and Frank were nice to her once, but not anymore. She feels like they were. But she couldn't remember if that was a dream as well. She really couldn't.
She picked up the book she just finished and put it back on her full book shelf. Her friend Ella likes books too. She talked kind of funny, but Annabeth liked her. She brought her books that Ella had already read and liked. Sometimes there were holes in the pages from her beak, but Annabeth didn't mind.
Ella was confusing. She talked really funny and didn't really make any sense, but Annabeth could see the sense in it. Every time Ella saw her she said something weird. She said, "Wisdom's daughter walks alone. Mark of Athena burns through Rome."
Annabeth didn't know what she was talking about. She knew she was a daughter of Athena. She also knew that Athena was her mom and that she didn't like her either. Annabeth wondered for the thousandth time why no one liked her and why her friends who she thought were friends but really weren't tried to hurt her. Annabeth's head started to hurt again. That meant someone else was coming. Someone who was thinking about her. Annabeth knew that too. She really needed to start writing these things down. But she didn't have a paper or pencil. Maybe she would ask Calypso if she would lend her some.
She heard a rustle in the corner. It was Jason. Jason was mean to Annabeth, too. He tricked her and liked to electrocute her. She managed to move water to conduct it one time. Percy liked water. Annabeth doesn't mess with water anymore. Instead, she uses metal to conduct it. Annabeth ran out the door and shut it. She locked it, too, locking Jason in there. He would manage to get out. Annabeth decided to go find Calypso. She wanted to talk to someone.
Annabeth padded down the stairs to the front room. It was pretty. It was brown and purple. The cottage had a lot of colors. Calypso could interior decorate Annabeth's buildings that she made. Calypso told her that she wanted to be an architect when she grew up. Annabeth couldn't remember what and architect was. She just knew that she liked to draw buildings.
Annabeth looked out the window and saw Calypso walking with Piper and Jason and Leo and Frank and Hazel. Oh, no. Annabeth hoped they wouldn't hurt her friend. Piper wouldn't, but the others might. Piper saw Annabeth. Her mouth dropped open, but she composed herself quickly. Calypso saw this, but she didn't do anything. Piper looked at Calypso funny. Calypso gave her a pointed look, as if telling her they would talk later. Piper looked at Annabeth again. Annabeth tried to give her a weak smile. Suddenly, Piper's face turned into a look of horror. She whirled around and looked at Jason and then back at Annabeth. Annabeth turned around. Jason was behind her. Annabeth understood Piper's confusion. Why were there two Jason's? The mean Jason lifted up a knife. Where did he get a knife from? They usually don't have those. Annabeth grabbed the vase behind her and threw it at him. IT wasn't a very good throw. The vase was heavy and Annabeth wasn't strong. She feels like she might have been, but she can't remember. But Jason, disappeared anyway. Good. Annabeth didn't like him.
Suddenly, the door opened. Annabeth turned around to see Piper standing there with Leo and Jason and Hazel and Frank.
YAY! They found her! But can they keep her? FYI, Kobalos were monsters that confused and tricked mortals. This chapter was written to kind of give you insight on what's going on inside Annabeth's head before we proceed.
