A continuation of Tied Together with a Smile. 16 years later.
Love that's where I knew you from another lifetime
things like this can be hard to explain
but I knew that the moment that you walked in everything started up again
I don't know who found who but we had catching up to do
Percy ran across the warm, sunny field, looking for whatever had chased him, holding a piece of his shirt over his bleeding arm. He was nearly 36 years old and had to go back to Camp Half-Blood. He'd been chased by gorgons again. But this time he remembered. "Stheno, please let me go. Annabeth's gone. I have no one with me. " Percy said, halting in his tracks. He saw a brunette girl, around 36 years old, laying peacefully in the field. Her eyes opened and they were a startling gray. He took out hi ssword, approaching her.
She looked at hm with that look, the startling gray eyes reminding him of Annabeth. "Percy.. you saved me.." She said, then covered her mouth.I can't tell him. No way no how.I was brought back, 36 years old and brunette. She covered her mouth, then lookd at him. "Sorry, you look like someone familiar.."
Stheno smirked, apporaching the brunette. "Who do we have here? Another daughter of Athena, just like Percy's long-gone love Annabeth?" Stheno had become a little more knowledgeable. She held out one of the poisoned wiener things. "You look as she would if shee was 36."
"Don't you dare attack her!" Percy said, running at Stheno with his sword and he closed his eyes. Blood still poured from the wound, and he thought he heard her throw gorgon blood onto him. The bad kind. Percy was able to run Stheno through, but he knew he was going to die. He stared up at the clear blue sky.
"Percy! NO!" The brunette said, and she saw his blue eyes.. "Percy.. you gotta wake up.. It's Annabeth.. I was brought back.. special reward.." The brunette said, "Percy. I was the brunette from my dream. It was me brought back.. "The brunette put a hand on Percy's face, then saw Riptide, in pen form, in Percy's pocket again.
Maybe we were king and queen the greatest that the world had seen
or passed each other in the street however we were meant to meet
Might be a while until our next first kiss
but don't you fear I'm gonna find you in the lifetime after this
-PAST, early years of Camp Half-Blood-
"Are you seriously kidding me?" The young minor god daughter of Hera said, looking at the boy sianding in front of her. "I willst not talk to you. My mother forbade me," She spoke.
"No, you cannot" He said, "I've seen us.. but we're different.. I'm a son of Apollo, Allison. I found that ou just now." He addeed, looking at her. Then he looked at what was on his hand. "Curses! someone put a pit scorpion in my bunk again," He groaned a little, then spread his palm. Confused as to why it wasn't healing, he looked at Allison. "Are you contrlling my healing, Allison?"
"No, Richard. I can't control that. I fear I am the last daughter of Hera that is a demigod. She has forsworn children," She spoke, blinking her multi-colored eyes. "You were hit by a pit scorpion, Richard." Shee said, holding out his hand. "Richard? I think I have unusually stromg romantic feelings for you. " She said, but suddenly, Richard wavreed.
"You love me! Oh this is the greatest day, " Richard said, smiling at her. He had blonde hair and sandy colored eyes. "But also the most tragic," Richard held out his hand. "i promise I'll love you again, Allison." Richard added, looking at her and kissing her just as he fell down oto the ground, still all of a sudden.
-END-
Love is such a funny feeling
Love, it never looks the same but find it and you'll know it every time
Love, it's so much bigger than promises and diamond rings
Love, it's led me straight to you time after time
-Back to the time of the oneshot-
"Percy.. please.." She whispered, "Wake up. I don't want you dead." She ran a hand over his cheek, which was watery. he was crying.
"Annabeth.. oh thank the gods.. but you shouldn't have came back.. you told me you'd wait for me.." Percy whispered, looking at her. "I want you to go back there and help me.. I know I'm gonna die." Percy added, looking at her.
-end of oneshot time, back to a flashback-
Maybe we were movie stars cast in both the leading parts
Or you and I just 12 years old however our story's told
Might be a while until our next first kiss
But don't you fear I'm gonna find you in the lifetime after this
-EARLY 1960's-
"Penelope! Come downstairs this instant, " Her father sternly said as the blonde came downstairs, her long spiraling curls curling into a corkscrew. "Who is this boy? " He said, "Is he a friend or a foe?" Her dad was a Roman demigod; a son of Bellona, Roman Goddess of war. sadly, he'd gotten mixed with a Greek goddeess by the name of Aphrodite.
"He's a friend. He's a son of Mars." Penelope said, "Dad, can I go with him to that winter formal at school." Penelope fluttered her blue eyes, which changed colors all over the place. "Please?"
"Don't use your charmspeak. and you swear this is the last boy you don't tell me about before you bring him home." Her dad said, being stern and standing tall. They lived in New Rome, and he kept his daughter's mother his own secret. He'd never send her to the Greek camp. He didn't trust them.
" ? Can we go now?" The boy said, and he had tumbling brown hair and stunning eyes for a son of Mars, Roman god of war.
-switch back to present-
Time is only time
There's too little in a single lifetime
so I'll keep trying over and over again
I'll be here and It's you I'm gonna find when I get to the end
"Percy, you have roman blood in you.. " She whispered, "Penelope Childston wound up dying young when she was probatio for being a Greek demigod. She was cast out and Lupa didn't accept her into the Roman camp." She blinked her eyes. "Penelope got Elysium because her boy died for her. He was your ancestor, Tommy Davilo, a son of Mars."
"So if I die, I can choose what life I live?" Percy said, looking at her. "Annabeth.. it's not right for you to be alive. Chiron retired and faded two years after you passed away. Nico has never been to camp sinc ehe told me. I want to not be rebornm. I want to stay with you in eternity." Percy added, and took her hand. "I want you to go back to Elysium and wait for me to join you. I won't call for anyone. I don't want you leaving happiness."
Love that's where I knew you from, another lifetime
things like this can be hard to explain
but I knew that the moment that you walked in everything started up again
I don't know who found who but we had catching up to do
Annabeth waited patiently at the gates of the house she lived in, she'd been returned to 16 years old, the age Percy liked her best at, and their best memories were made at. She saw a flash of dark hair and an orange camp t-shirt. Then she smirked at him. "Took you long enough, Seaweed Brain." She chuckled, and saw him standin gher. Shee looked at her neck and saw her camp necklace had returned to her.
Percy laughed and smiled, running over to her and hugging her hugely. "I missed you too damn much Annabeth. I'd rather live out eternity than you than be alone again. If I had the choice, we could have had kids together. " Percy added. "It could still happen. We could go back to the word, Annabeth."
"Percy, I don't want to go back." Annabeth said, kissing Percy softly. "We're in Elysium, and that's all that matters that we're happy. You'll probably wind up on the Isles of the Blest. We have to go there together when Hades gives us instructions to." Annabeth looped her arm into Percy's, and they walked into the house alone together.
Maybe I ran into you, didn't know what to say or do
Didn't really matter 'cause in that moment we both knew
It wouldn't be long until our first kiss
Don't you fear love, I'm gonna find you in the lifetime after this.
-16 years later-
A black haired boy had arrived at Camp Half-Blood mysteriously 16 years to the day of Percy's death, and the new camp director didn't know what to think of it until he aid his name was Kale Jackson, and his parents were demigods. He asked an older demigod named Nico about it. "Nico? Do you know the last namee Jackson from somewherE?"
"Kale's spirtiually and physically two of the great 7's child. He's what they asked for to leave behind. He just appeared as 16 years old." Nico said, lookng at Kale. Kale had sea-green eyes with gray flecks of silver. He was almost a perfect resemblance to Percy, but with wisdom in his green eyes like Annabeth's gray eyes. He had both of their flaws as far as Nico guessed, but stood with pride, his long dark hair and green with silver flecked eyes analyzing him.
"What are you guys talking abot?" Kale said, looking at Nico then to the new camp director.
