Percy's POV
"What?" Hera shrieked. "What the Hades is going on here???"
Annabeth grabbed my hand and cried, "Run!" I took her hand and we threw open the door, running as fast as we could to the house. And like a gift from Zeus, little baby Elaine Kaia popped into Annabeth's arms, she not even flinching.
Elaine looked up at us with painful eyes, and we kept on running. Running, running, and running. We knew exactly where we were heading, and we intending on making it there before the gods hit us with lightning bolts or something or before all Hades broke loose.
Annabeth's POV
Percy. Would. Never. Be. Able. To. Forgive. Me. I saw it in his eyes. They were full of worry and concern for Elaine, who wasn't even his daughter—but hidden behind the eyes was pain and agony. How his wife could do this to him. How… how this whole mess was started… because of me.
Gods, I felt like such a Tiger Woods. I clapped my hands and the Three Eye Sister people appeared and we ran in the car, the whole drive ignoring their bickering and crazy driving until we finally reached Camp Half-Blood.
We ran over the hill and passed the barriers until we found Chiron, who was carefully galloping towards us.
"Annabeth! Percy! What are you doing here?" Apparently, somebody didn't tell the pony… that would mean that we had to…
Percy and I exchanged quick glances, and he nodded to me which I interpreted as, "Just give him a four-word answer or something or another and we'll explain the rest later".
I looked up at Chiron's deep, understanding eyes and said, "We need to hide."
"Tell her..." Hestia's voice whispered in my head. "Percy... tell her. You have an idea... you have little faith... but it's going to work, Perseus... I know of it... I know of it..."
With that, I whipped my head up. I sat up straight in my uncomfortable bed in the Poseidon cabin and glanced around me. No Annabeth. No Elaine. Where were they?
I scrambled out of bed and slipped on my robe and a pair of boots. Knowing Annabeth, she was probably by the lake. I ran out of the door and quietly tip-toed to the lake, my comfort zone. I saw a blonde there, holding a what looked like a baby wrapped in blankets.
I walked over and sat next to her. She was gazing out into the lake, the tides rolling in, her stormy gray eyes filled with tears and pain.
"Percy," she breathed, looking over at me. A single tear slipped down her soft, pink cheeks. "Percy, my dear..." she choked on the last word. "Will you ever... will you ever be able to--," she broke off, and began crying hysterically. I grabbed her head and pulled in into my chest. I leaned my head on top of her silky, blonde hair.
"I already have," I whispered back. I kissed the top of her head. She kept on crying, and we stayed like that, father, mother, and daughter on the banks of the lake until dawn approached.
Please review, even to tell me "good job". :)
