Chapter Six
The Plan
Piper's POV:
I walk over to the Athena cabin to go check on Annabeth and to give her a sandwich wrapped in silver tinfoil. She probably won't let me in, but it won't hurt to try. She's been in there for 24 hours now. Without eating or anything. I mean, I know that what Percy did is unforgivable and that she's upset. I would get upset if something like that happened to Jason and me. I shivered and started to walk a little bit faster.
Once I reached the cabin, I was surprised to see that the door was open. I quietly padded towards the room where everyone slept. I heard a few giggles and murmurs as I reached the door. What I saw made me nearly drop the sandwich. Percy and Annabeth were on a bed- together- sleeping. A few of the other younger campers were whispering and pointing at them. I shooed them away, and they fled from the room. Were Percy and Annabeth insane? They would be in so much trouble! Wait- but they were fighting before...? How could she forgive him after something like this? Well, he must have a good reason as Annabeth wouldn't be dumb enough to take him back after what happened.
"Annabeth. Percy. Wake up." I summoned all of the charmspeak I could into my voice. Their eyelids fluttered open. Annabeth bolted upright. Percy seemed a little confused.
"What?" Percy said, scratching his head. He had a bewildered look on his face. "I- Annabeth." He frantically searched around for Annabeth, only to find that she was right behind him. He sat up quickly, and tackled her in a hug. Their lips collided, and I turned away; wanting to give them some privacy.
"Uh..." I cleared my throat. They broke away, Annabeth blushing and Percy with a stupid grin on his face. "I brought this for you, I thought you'd be hungry." I finished, handing the sandwich over to Annabeth.
"Thanks, Piper." she took the sandwich gratefully, unwrapping the foil. She split the sandwich in half, even though it was quite small. She handed the bigger half to Percy, and he pressed his lips to her forehead; grinning. He wrapped Annabeth up into a hug and they started to eat the sandwich in silence, frequently glancing lovingly at each other.
"I guess I'll see you at, um, training?" I asked, my eyes sweeping to the floor.
"Do you want to go to training? Or skip?" Percy asked Annabeth genuinely.
"I'm alright. Let's leave in an hour," Annabeth agrees, looking into his eyes.
"Okay, see you guys then!" I say, and exit the door. Well that was awkward.
Percy's POV:
"Wait- an hour? What do you need an hour for?" I turn to Annabeth as Piper leaves the cabin. A slow grin spreads on her face. That can only mean one thing...
"We," She says. "are going to form a plan to get revenge on that disgusting little mongrel."
"Um... And how are we going to get revenge in an hour..?" I ask, confused. She face palms herself.
"We aren't going to actually get the revenge. We're going to make a plan to get revenge." she says, as if it's obvious. Which I guess it is.
"Okay, what do you want to do?" I say, pulling her to me and snuggling my head into her beautiful blonde hair. After what's happened, all I want to do is stay with her and be with her and love her. She sighs and moves away. Compromising, she takes my hand, which makes me smile.
"She embarrassed me, right? In front of everyone? Well, I think we should return the favor..." she trails off, and I can hear the gears clicking together in her head as she concocts a plan.
"I guess we can ask for a little help from Mom..." she smiles, looking up at me.
"Yeah, you could probably just ask Athena to behave herself or something." I shrug. I'm not exactly a big thinker or really into revenge. However, Annabeth snaps her fingers.
"I've got it! I'll talk to Mom somehow and tell her about how Olivia's been 'misbehaving'. You're a genius!" She throws her arms around me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. But instead of landing there, I turn my head quickly so that her lips are on mine.
"Wait," she says, breaking free. "Don't you think that it was kind of weird how she had so many loopholes in her plan? She should've kept you there longer, and she should've known that loyalty to your friends is your fatal flaw..." she looks as if she's deep in thought. I guess it does seem kind of strange, though...
Jason's POV:
I guess Percy and Annabeth made up again or something. Well, at least that's what Piper said. Not to mention that they're totally making out as I speak...
The new girl's sitting directly across from them, looking really jealous. And by jealous, I mean really jealous. Like Piper jealous, when she thought that something had actually gone on between me and Reyna.
I remember how Piper used to grill me about how 'unromantic' I used to be. Well, I guess I didn't really do much for her... I should've done more then, especially her being the daughter of Aphrodite.
I place my arm around her waist, gently pulling her closer to me. She glances up at me and smiles, laying her head on my chest. I bury my face into her soft silky brown hair and just close my eyes for a little while.
Erm...
I'm really, really, really sorry that this is so late.
This chapter actually got 'deleted' somehow because I had to log in again :(
But
I retyped it so it's fine now :)
And
I'm sorry for leaving off at such a horrible place :/
I'd really love it if you'd write a quick review though :))
Annabeth: *sighs* Technically speaking, it's not really fair if you're late and they have to write a review...
Percy: Yeah, especially when you left off with Jason! I mean, why didn't you get to the part where Oliv-
Jason: Excuse me? I think I was quite good. And it's always your turn.
Me: Seriously, you guys don't need to argue. You're all totally awesome and amazing, but sometimes you get a bit carried away...
Percy: What? Carried away? Who? Me? How can I ever get carried away? I'm fabulous! *strikes ridiculous pose*
Annabeth: And that's the way the cookie crumbles...
Me: No, I just meant that-
Percy: Hey, I was talking! Everyone keeps interrupting me! As I was saying, we didn't even get to the part where O-
Annabeth: Shhh! Don't spoil it for the readers! *rolls eyes*
Me: Exactly! That's one of the most deadliest fandom sins!
Annabeth:
Jason:
Percy:
Percy: Wait what's a fandom?
Me: ...
