Chapter 3

I get engaged

I'm soooooo sorry for the delay! I was at this huge camp for a then this girl from England home stayed with me and my family for another week and then we went to this cabin on the lake fro 5 more days, there wasn't any Wi-Fi there, I mean there wasn't even a road near it, we had to take our boat to get there. So I couldn't update then, FINALLY when I got home the first thing I did was finish next chappie, to here it is.

I just wanted to say that I don't go to Stanford, I've never seen Stanford, hell, I don't even live in the US! I'm just working off info from your average university, so sorry if there's any blaring mistakes.

Disclamer: I don't own PJO/HOO or SPN, if I did a lot more people would still be alive and Leo wouldn't be hitting on a bazillion year old goddess.

Enough with my blabbing, here's chapter 3-

Annabeth's POV

Percy and I sat on the bed as Nico paced in front of us.

"What. Is. It?" Percy asked for the tenth time.

Nico finally stopped pacing. He turned to us and said "uuuuh you see last night, you guys were sleeping and I didn't know it was that late in the morning and... Well you know so I was bored so I... Um you know and then Sam knocked but I didn't really notice... I kind of just kept talking... And um I think he got the wrong idea... You know?" He said wringing his hands.

We just stared at him "no Nico I don't know. Now could you repeat that but in one smooth phrase, and maybe finish your sentences?" I asked.

Nico breathed in and out, then in and out again.

"Okay. So. I- I sort of, raised Odysseus and um I uh was well you know talking to him, when Sam knocked and I didn't think I was talking THAT loud but you know I was talking and... I think he jumped to conclusions?"

We continued to stare at him "what are you saying?" I asked.

Nico took a deep breath and said the next seven words very fast it took me a while to under stand it.

"I think Sam thinks I'm a necromancer," he said biting his lip.

"WHAAAAAAT?!" I said standing up Percy just stared wide-eyed at him.

"I'm sorry! I just didn't notice and..."

"Nico shut up. Look you're not a necromancer and there is something going on with Sam. I know that for sure so maybe you should tell him the truth. If he tells us,"

"About our parentage?" Percy asked bewildered.

"No about Nico's Dad just say that we have no idea about that."

"So your saying I should go up and say "hey Sam! You know that guy... Some people all him The Devil, some people call him Hades, well yeah he's my old man! Yeah! And I mean you thought that YOU had daddy issues!"

"No if he starts trying to kill you then go to last resort." I paused "and what do you mean with "daddy issues"?"

Nico shrugged "I don't know, I just said it,"

After classes Percy, Sam and I were walking back to the apartment building, Jess had an extra class today so Sam tagged along with us.

We walked along the grass talking mildly about things that aren't really important.

Percy suddenly shouted out in surprise as he tripped over a root.

"AGH!" He yelled and tumbled down on the ground.

"Percy!" I said in shock and helped him up.

I noticed something had fallen out of his pocket, something in a small box.

"Uh Percy...?" I said pointing to it.

"Ah!" He said and scooped it up.

I looked at him in surprise. "Was that a...?" My voice trailed off.

Percy swallowed.

"Um..." He said then breathed in, he took out the case again and looked at it.

He got down on one knee.

"Di immortals..." I muttered.

"Um Annabeth, will... Will you marry me?" He asked.

His sea green eyes were wide in that puppy dog way, "oh Percy, I-I-" I breathed heavily. This decision would determine the rest of my life, and I new exactly what I should say.

"YES!" I squealed and Percy's face broke out in a huge grin he put the ring on my finger. Sam jut stared at us in shock.

"Oh Percy!" I screamed again and lunged forward hugging him. Tears fell from my eyes. And I just let them flow. Percy and I hugged for the longest time, and then finally we stepped back.

"Yes Percy, I will gladly spend the rest of my mortal life with you" I said

And Percy gave me that 'Leave it to a daughter of Athena to say it like that' look.

I grinned "For the love of Aphrodite..." I muttered and grabbed Percy's hand.

"Come on you" I said.

I looked over at Sam who finally smiled 'he proposed!' I mouthed and Sam nodded, grinning.

We walked off Sam tagging along a bit behind us, of course if I was hanging out with Sam and Jess and then Sam proposed I wouldn't interfere.

"Nice use of the word 'mortal'" Percy muttered.

I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Of course Percy, of course,"

We got back to the Apartment after dinner we were laughing as we came in.

Nico looked at us confused as he noticed the ring on my finger "uh Percy... I thought..." Percy waved his hand in dismissal "I fell and it rolled out,"

"Oh," Nico looked disappointed.

I looked at Percy "what?" I asked.

Percy smiled "I had this huge thing planned out, and a lot of other stuff,"

"I was going to raise the Beatles!" Nico complained.

"You what?"

"I asked Nico to raise a band of dead people that could play a love song that's kind of fun to dance to,"

"They could've played 8 days a week!" Nico said waving his hands around in annoyance.

"Well sorry but I didn't WANT there to be a root right their." Percy said sticking out his bottom lip.

As Nico and Percy talked I just stared at the ring on my finger.

It was... Turquoise? But before when Percy gave it to me, it was grey.

I looked at Percy accusingly.

He laughed and gave me his, "oh turns out your not the only smart one in the house," look.

"It magical," he said, "Poseidon made it,"

I raised my eyebrow.

"Okay so maybe he just got some of his Cyclops forgers too but still!"

I smiled and hugged him.

"It's beautiful," I said now noticing the color had changed to bronze. I rubbed it and the color glittered and changed to an emerald.

I smiled again "you seaweed brain, it's like a mood ring!" I said.

He laughed "well sorry, you're the daughter of Athena here!"

"Ahem," Nico said we turned.

"Can we not you know go all- oooo loooooove I'm engaged and I'm just going to go make out in the bathroom now, later! " he said in a high pitched voice.

"Gee Nico, you've changed since we started school" I said.

He looked at me "don't count on it,"

Then he gestured to the wall (the one we shared with Sam and Jess)

"So, so far Sam hasn't tried to stab me or anything yet," he said.

"That's good, if he does you know what to do!" I said then turned back to Percy.

"where were we?" I asked.

"Uh me being stupid because I practically made our engagement ring like a mood ring," he said.

"Oh yes that,"

Sam's POV

"Sam?" He said finally answering the phone.

"Yeah it's me okay well um I have an issue at Stanford,"

"What is there a poltergeist? Wear wolves? Vengeful spirit?"

"No!"

"Oh okay,"

"I think my next door neighbor is a necromancer,"

"You're crazy,"

"No I'm not! He was talking to... Odysseus. And he said stuff about his 'other skeleton buddies',"

"Your serious?"

"Would I call you if I'm not?"

"Oh boy, Sammy necromancers are BAD NEWS they talk to demons ALL THE TIME. Geez dude, do you have any knives or anything?"

"Uh yeah,"

"Then stick him!"

"What? No! He's my neighbor! Can't I just get him out of the country or something?"

"He's a necromancer, and they KILL so if you get rid of him, like END him you save a lot people, if you kick him out of the country you jut give him other targets,"

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

"Just stick him! Does he have anyone else living with him?"

"Uh yeah Annabeth and Percy, they're engaged and Nico is Percy's cousin,"

"Well do they seem suspicious?"

"No well, Annabeth always... Uh nothing no, nothing out of the ordinary,"

I decided it wasn't needed to point out the fact that I've been having weird dreams, which I would've had to explain to Dean if I said every time I went outside Annabeth was there too.

"Uh okay then just stick him with a knife before he notices you there okay?"

"Okay,"

"Listen Sam I uh need to-"

"Bye,"

"Wait!"

*Click*

I hung up and put the phone down.

Whatever Dean had to say it could wait, he was probably just going to say something like "come back Sammy your family!" Well no. It's not like Dad treats me like family. And plus, I have a necromancer to deal with.

I apologize for the short chapter I will update soon
