109AN: This is my MoA fanfic. It's not my best writing (I'm better at original things…), but this is how I think it should go.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO of HoO or any of the characters they contain.
Chapter One: Annabeth
I sat on the bench nearest to the exit to the ship, wringing out my hands nervously.
Crack! My knuckles snapped as I cracked them. I grit my teeth through the pain. My hands were sore from building the ship and it hurt to crack them. But the pain was the only thing getting me through almost seeing Percy. We were 10 minuets away, and the nervousness was eating at me like a hellhound on a large piece of meat- fresh meat.
"This is your captain speaking," said Leo over the intercom, "we will be landing in… Drumroll please… Camp Jupiter in 5 minuets!"
Make that 5 minuets till I sees my boyfriend. I was so caught up in seeing Percy I didn't even hear someone sit beside me on the bench. And normally no one can sneak up on me.
"Hey," I recognized the soft but fierce voice in a second. It was Piper, currently the only other girl on the ship, so she had naturally become my Percy advisor. We had become really close these past months. I helped her with Jason-which was still barely a success. They act like just friend- and she helped me with Percy. She let me tell her stories and don't tell anyone this, but let me cry. In my defense though, it only happened a few times. The crying part I mean.
"hey" I said my voice cracking. I looked over at her and gave her a helpless glance. "What if he… I don't know, found some one else. Or he doesn't remember me?" My voice turned into a sob, but I controlled my tears. Whether the Seaweed Brain remembered me or not, I was so not letting him see me right after I cried.
"You'll be fine. Whether you know it or not Percy loves you, and as a daughter of the goddess of love I feel that he remembers you. You have to strong of a bond for him not too." She smiled at me, just as Leo's voice crackled on to the intercom.
"We are pulling in for landing. Please fasten your seatbelts and put all trays up. Thank you and I hope you had a nice flight." Leo's voice turned into a laugh and he added, "No, seriously we are hovering over the camp." Jason walked into the main part of the ship and sat down next to the two of us.
He glanced at me and asked, "Are you ready?" I nodded and I noticed how his gaze lingered on Piper for a minuet, before he hurriedly glanced away. I started to notice the things like this once Percy and me started to date.
Leo joined as just as the ship thudded to a stop. Jason's eyes lit up as though they knew they were on home territory. I grabbed Pipers hand and closed my eyes tight as the ships ramp started to open. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I slowly started down the ramp, my eyes hungrily searching the crowd for him.
My eyes rested on a tall boy, who was wearing a toga. A purple one. But that's not what caught my eye. It was the way he stood confidently, and flipped his dark messy hair out of his eyes in that really cute way of his. Oh his eyes… They caught the light and looked like a piece of sea glass. The most shockingly stunning piece you ever saw. He was standing next to a boy and a girl but I paid no attention to them. I let out a small gasp and squeezed Pipers hand. "Its him," I whispered.
She followed my gaze and nodded mouthing, "Go!" I let go of her hand and pushed down the ramp. His eyes moved towards me and he blinked startled. His mouth moved "Wise girl" His big friend to the right pushed him forward and he came running towards me. He ignored the startled gasps as he pushed people aside. I ran towards him my feet slipping on the ramp as I went. Any second I would be in his arms and I knew everything would be okay.
Hate it? Love it? Please review! Also I'm really busy with school so I probably wont update unless it's the weekend. I am definitely going to do more and I will take suggestions written in reviews. I don't check IMs so… anyway thanks for reading!
