-LaPush, Jacob-
I was about to take his Pack for a run when a familiar smell hit his nose. Vampires. I held my hand up and examined the stench once more. Cullen Vampire, no threat there.
"Just Percy." I assured Seth, who was starting towards the house where his imprint, Tali, waited. Just because they were both immortal didn't change the fact that Seth didn't want her hurt. He joined us again.
Sure enough, the vegetarian bloodsucker appeared by his sports car.
"Hi." He grinned. He had seemed sullen for the past days, but lately he was ecstatic.
"What's going on?"
"Well, the world needs your help."
"Help?"
"Do you know the Greek gods?"
"Like Artemis and Hades and-"
"Yes! Don't mention those names unless you have to from now on. Names have meaning..."
"Sorry. So.. what about 'em?"
"Now, before I say this, swear on the Styx not to freak."
"I swear on the Sticks-"
"Styx."
"I swear on the Styx not to freak out with whatever crazy news you have."
"Okay. Well, they're real."
"What the-" Thunder rumbled in the distsance: a reminder of my strange promise. "Okay."
He waved someone in the car over. "I want you to meet Annabeth." He grinned.
A girl about his physical age stepped out of the car, with the features of a typical California girl. The only thing off in her look was the stormy grey eyes she had.
We all waved to her. She seemed slightly astounded by our size but smiled back.
"She's my... friend. She's going to teach you about the history of Greece and its gods and myths before we go to war. That is, if you'll help."
"War?"
"Gaea wants to kill everyone. That means us, too."
"We're in."
"Good. Well Annabeth has to have you study up on your history before you go to war. It's important to know how past heroes defeated monsters and titans, because they're your role models. I have other things to arrange, so I'll be leaving for a bit."
He said, and kissed Annabeth on the cheek before going back to his car and pulling out.
"So what now?"
"Now, you take me to the biggest room you've got with tables and we start."
Half an hour later we were all listening to Annabeth's surprisingly interesting lecture on the history of the gods and titans. This was going to be fun.
I own nothing. Special thanks to The-way-I-feel-twloha !
