A/N: This is my first fan-fiction so please don't judge. I'll do my best to make this as entertaining as possible. As it is summer, I will be updating on a weekly basis (hopefully), unless I am on vacation. I will give y'all warnings to when I can't update. I also apologize in advance for any mistakes. Please feel free to review and give any criticism that you may have. Without further ado, let's get started Please enjoy!
Percy's POV
I wake up with a start to the sound of drums outside my cabin. A warm body is up against me and I look down to find my beautiful girlfriend Annabeth, asleep on my chest. Now before you get any sick ideas in your head. There are some things that you need to know. First of all, we are both completely clothed. Secondly, ever since we've gotten back from Greece, Annabeth and I have both had TERRIBLE nightmares of our awful experience in Tartarus. After all, it was quite literally hell. Instead of waking the entire camp up with our blood curling screams, she would sneak out of her cabin to come sleep in mine once all of her siblings were asleep. The only thing that calms us or keeps the torturing nightmares away is when we sleep with each other in close proximity and not halfway across camp. We were able to keep it a secret…until one of her siblings caught us and sent us strait to Chiron, the camp director. Due to the experiences in Tartarus, he allowed it to continue.
So anyway, I gently poked her to wake her up, as I got out of bed, wiping sleep out of my eyes, to go find out who was banging on our door this early in the morning. Mind you, it was like 6:45, and most of the camp was still asleep. I opened the door to see my close friend, Grover, who was the satyr that brought me to Camp Half-Blood about 4 ½ years ago.
"Man, what's going on? You woke Annabeth and I up!" I ask, putting some fake annoyance in my voice as Annabeth comes up behind me, hitting me purposely on the head in the process.
"Be nice, Percy!" my girlfriend chastises. "Is something going on, Grover?" We both know that Grover wouldn't wake us up this early unless something was going on.
"Nothing's wrong…I don't think. Chiron just asked to see the two of you, the rest of the seven, Thalia and Nico. I have to get everyone else. Just head over to the big house when you're dressed and what not." He replies as he turns to leave.
"Well, c'mon Percy. Hurry up so that we can go see what Chiron wants. He wouldn't call us unless he had something he needed us to do." She turns around, grabs a shirt and pair of shorts and heads into the bathroom to get ready. I throw on a shirt and set on the bed to wait for her. My cabin is filled with pictures of all of my friends. In one Annabeth, Grover and I are smiling towards the camera after our first quest. In another, Thalia is there with us and in another so is Nico. Those were both long before I met Hazel, Frank, Leo, Jason, and Piper. The most recent one is from a few weeks ago, right after we came back from fighting the war in Greece against the Giants and Gaea. We are all covered in dirt and look bone tired, but are smiling none the less.
Annabeth comes out of the bathroom and we head to the big house to meet the others.
After lots of waiting, the others finally arrive in the rec room in a wide variation of sleepiness. Leo was bouncing off the walls like always. Piper and Hazel looked as if they'd been up for a few hours; however, Jason looked like he just rolled out of bed and barely bothered to put a shirt on. Once everyone had gathered around the ping pong table, Chiron finally got started.
"All of you must be wondering why I have gotten all of you up so early. I need to ask y'all a favor. There are some demigods at school in Virginia and I would like the eight of you to go and try to find them. I am aware that normally a satyr would do this but I feel that this is a special case. Plus all of you are quite behind on your school –"
"You can't send us back to school! Not after what just happened! What if I have a flashback in the middle of class? What am I supposed to tell them? 'Oh yeah I had to travel through hell with my girlfriend and this is the aftermath. Don't worry about it. It happens all the time.' I mean, I'm sorry, but I think that I need some time before I go back into the real world." I scream at him.
"Percy," he replies once I've calmed down, "I understand, but I think that all of you, you and Annabeth especially, need to get away from everything going on here. I feel that all the repairing and rebuilding going on here is stressing all of you out and just making it worse. I'm sorry to say that none of y'all have a choice."
He could barely finish before everyone started screaming at him that they disagreed and didn't want to go. It was mostly the boys that were angry but Annabeth, Hazel, and Piper weren't much better. Once everyone had gotten all of the yelling out he sent us to go get breakfast saying "Term starts on January 5, in a week please pack and prepare yourselves as you will be leaving early that morning". We all stomped to breakfast in awful moods.
