Mark of Athena
Annabeth
I was on the verge of freaking out as we were getting closer, and closer to Camp Jupiter.
"Annabeth, are you okay?" Piper asked with a soothing voice. I shook my head furiously, thoughts racing through my brain "What if he forgot about me? Does he already have a girlfriend? Will he still like me?" So many questions! Piper smiled at me trying to comfort me. "Annabeth, you know he'll remember you, he loves you I can feel it!" She stated. This time I smiled if a child of Aphrodite knows someone loves you, that someone loves you.
"Three minutes until landing!" Leo announced. I saw Thalia on a bench staring at the sky; pale as chalk, and with a terrified expression as I strolled over, but then I felt a thump on the bottom of the ship/plane. Well I guess there's no need to sooth her anymore! Thalia sprang up and stared at me then started laughing warily. Totally fake. Here it is. The first time in 8 months I finally see my Seaweed Brain! The doors opened and I saw my first glimpse of Camp Jupiter! The architecture was amazing! I guess these Romans are pretty okay. I scanned the crowd of people; there were adults, senior citizens and infants not including the campers, but no sign of Percy! Then the first time since like forever (Ugh! I have to stop hanging with those Aphrodite kids) I saw him in a… bed sheet? Percy caught me looking and smiled while showing of his bed sheet with stupid poses. I held in my laugh then stared straight at the leader who looked vaguely familiar. She held my gaze for a second her dark eyes locking with my stormy gray eyes, then she looked directly at Jason, who smiled nervously.
"Welcome Greeks I am Reyna, the praetor of Camp Jupiter and this here is my second in command Percy Jackson." Reyna announced "Who is the leader for the Greeks?" Annabeth stepped forward professionally
"Me, daughter of Athena!" Annabeth replied scanning the crowd. Reyna just nodded and ushered everyone to go back to his or her training.
"Okay Greeks you must stay on your side of the camp unless any other orders are given, or there will be an early war." Reyna said darkly glaring at everyone. She didn't seem too happy to invite some Greeks to her camp. After that brief announcement she left with Jason.. Everyone started talking and laughing again. I ran up to Percy and threw my arms around him. His skin smelt like the ocean, such a familiar smell; his sea colored eyes glinted in the sun.
"I missed you Seaweed Brain, you got me so worried." I gushed
"Me too Wise Girl!" He replied. I let go and glared at him. Percy cocked his head and gave me a puzzled look that clearly said what'dIdo?
Don't. Ever. Leave. Me. Again!" I muttered, "Got it."
Okay, okay, I wont" He laughed, " I promise!" I gave him another big hug and he kissed me on the forehead.
" Yeah, yeah, yeah! Blah, blah, blah I missed you too, is this sappy love fest over yet?" Clarrisse complained. Percy gave her an amused smile
"Yep, some people never change!" Percy joked, "Missed you too!"
"Percy!" Grover yelled cutting through the crowd of demigods "Hey man, haven't seen you in a while!" Percy smiled. And gave him a man hug while Grover was chewing on a tin can. Annabeth felt so happy, like this day would never end! Annabeth brought Percy to meet Piper and Leo.
"Hi! I'm Piper daughter of Aphrodite!" Piper said brightly her brown choppy hair flying madly in the wind and her eyes changing color like a kaleidoscope "And this is Leo our repair-"
"Commander-"
"Whatever!"
"I'm Leo!" He said happily "Son of Hephaestus!" Right after he said that a blur of red fiery hair came bolting towards us.
"Percy!" Rachael squealed, "I knew we'd find you!"
"Of course you did, you are the oracle." I stated laughing at her
"HA!" Octavian yelled jumping out behind a tree, "I knew you had an oracle! I knew it! Come on great oracle tell us a great prophecy!" Rachael's face turned bright red.
"At least I don't have to murder stuffed animals!" Rachael replied. Octavians face turned redder than her hair and he stormed away. Once he was out of hearing distance everyone burst out laughing.
"Come on Annabeth I want to show you my new friends. We came over to a burly Chinese boy, with a black military haircut. He looked like he could beat up anything, but his baby face just ruined it. The other person next to him was a cocoa colored girl with luminous gold eyes. It was obvious that they were a couple. She smiled.
"Hi, I'm Frank Zhang son of Ma-Ares" The Chinese boy muttered shyly.
"And I am Hazel Levesque daughter of Pluto I mean… Hades" Hazel announced happily. Her happiness stopped when Leo came over obviously checking her out. Her eyes looked all glassy and she looked sort of pale.
"H-hi Sam-Leo" She stuttered
"Hey cutie" Leo said and winked "What's your name?"
"Hazel, Hazel Levesque." Hazel replied. Leo looked puzzled like that name meant something to him. Leo probably meant something to Hazel to. Percy broke the silence as he said
"Okay, I guess you know everyone, how about that tour I promised you! I bet you'll love it here!" We went around the place and I was fascinated by everything. Sometimes I would stand there staring at something for like 15 minutes, while Percy would play with a ball of water and try to entertain himself.
After the tour we went to the mess hall and sat with Hazel, Frank, Piper, Leo, Jason, and Reyna. Reyna stood up and everyone was quiet.
"Okay, everyone knows the Greeks are here with us today." She announced, "So how about we play a friendly game of war. Let's see how good these Greeks are!" There were a lot of "yeah's!" and "bring it on's!" in the crowd as Reyna smiled evilly. This should be fun.
