3rd Person
[So close to 2k!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!]
"How did you know what I said?" Percy demanded. Amy rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
"I heard the word demigod and then I thought you said that you were a demigod. Commone sense, really." She shrugged. "You spoke in Greek, right?" Percy groaned and put his face in his hands.
"Stupid, stupid Seaweed Brain." He muttered to himself. "Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Just said something random."
"So, you're an elf?" She prompted.
"Uhh...yeah." She narrowed her eyes at him.
"You don't sound sure." She noted. He cursed.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want your mind to explode since you already know about elves." He apologized. "Unless you do want your brain to go on overdrive, then I'm happy to do that."
"Yeah, I prefer not to have my mind to explode." She admitted. "But I really want to know..."
"I don't want to put you in any more danger then you already are in." He put a comforting hand over her shoulder. "I know how your parents were kidnapped by the Neverseen—"
"You know about that?" Terror laced her voice as she scrambled away from his touch.
"Yes." He said quietly. "I know how it feels." His mind briefly flashed to when Annabeth was kidnapped by Kronos and his army and when he had to hold up the sky to defeat the Titan Atlas.
"Look, you're way too young to know about all this." He gave her a sad smile, and she blushed.
"So are you." She replied. "I mean, you look like your 17 or 18. I can tell you've been through a lot." Percy nodded, silent. He had been through too much. Wars, blood, death, Hell.
"She's going to kill me." Percy mumbled.
"Who?"
"Annabeth." Percy sighed. "She's my girlfriend. She probably thinks that I'm dead right now, since I disappeared after a battle."
"You have battles?" Amy asked, her green eyes sparking with interest. He nodded.
"Definitely not fun ones or the games. Like, real ones. Blood, gore, death. Real battles." He winced at the horror etched onto her face. "Sorry. It's just that...no people understand me. Annabeth is the only one who does." She looked away nervously.
"I don't have anyone to relate with." She whispered. "I'm the only human to know about elves, and my parents forgot about everything. I have to be super careful around them to not trigger any memories." A pang of sympathy crashed through my heart.
"It's going to be ok. After all, the Fates can't be that cruel. Unless it's directed towards me." He chuckled nervously.
"You should go now." She looked up at him. "Annabeth would be worried." He nodded thoughtfully.
"You know, have you ever ridden a Pegasus before?"
Le time skip
"THIS IS AWESOME!" Amy cheered as Blackjack swooped through the clouds. Percy laughed as they landed on her house roof.
"Glad you liked it." He winked.
Yo, boss? Can we get some donuts? Please? Blackjack neighed. Percy stroked his Pegasus' muzzle contentedly.
"I've only ridden on Sophie's alicorn once, and then I'd never thought that I'd experience something like that again." She petted Blackjack's feathery wings. "Thank you."
"No problem. It's the least I could do after you saved my life." Percy grinned at her. "It was nice meeting you, Amy." He held out his hand.
"You too, Percy." She smiled and grasped his hand for a second. "Say hi to Sophie for me."
"I will." He stole a glance at her for the last time before taking off on Blackjack.
Can we get some donuts, boss? Please?
"Only if you stop calling me 'boss.'" Percy smirked. Blackjack snorted angrily. As he looked down the city landscape, he noticed something.
"The Empire State Building! Are we in New York already?" He asked incredulously. Blackjack whinnied.
We always were in New York, boss! Percy paled.
"Amy lives in New York...?" Those were the last words spoken for the rest of the trip before Blackjack broke the silence.
We're here, boss.
"Great." Percy took a deep breath. "Wish me luck, ol' buddy. Annabeth is probably going to pulverize me." Blackjack gave him a look that said, 'sounds like a you problem, not a me problem.'
As Percy walked through the empty camp, panic flared in his chest as he noticed that all the cabins, even the Hypnos cabins, were empty. He noticed smoke coming from the arena, and being the Seaweed Brain he was, he thought that something was burning down, not even bothering to think that it could've been Leo's hair. After all, it did burn quite often.
Gripping Riptide in his pocket, he sneaked silently into the arena. What was there surprised him so much that he could've squeaked like a guinea pig.
"The great Perseus Jackson has passed, demigods of Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood!" Chiron called out, his face blotchy and red from crying. "He died protecting the ones he loved from the Bane of Poseidon and the elves of the Lost Cities from the Neverseen. He will be remembered forever and eternity continued, till the end of Chaos." Annabeth stepped forward, tears slipping down her face as she held up a sea-green shroud with a trident embroidered on it.
"Percy, I couldn't have survived Tartarus without him. He was the best boyfriend I could've ever asked for, the stupidly loyal Seaweed Brain he was. He—"
"Chiron, I told you not to call me Perseus." Percy blurted out from his spot in the arena entrance. Annabeth stared at him like she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Hey, Wise Girl." He smiled gently, feeling his own tears prick his eyes as Annabeth rushed forward as quick as a dart to hug him.
"I've missed you." She said quietly, burying her face into his chest.
"Missed ya too, Owl Face." He snuggled into her for a blissful moment, feeling the tickle of her curly blonde hair brush his face before he felt himself fly into the air and land on his back with a loud THUNK.
"YOU IDIOT SEAWEED BRAIN!" She yelled. "WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD FOR POSEIDON'S SAKE! I TOLD YOU, YOU SHOULD'NT OVERTIRE YOURSELF OTHERWISE SOMETHING BAD LIKE THIS COULD'VE HAPPENED! I TOLD YOU SO! BUT DID YOU LISTEN? NOOOO, YOU JUST HAD TO SAVE US FROM POLYBOTES AND—"
"Is she always like this?" A Roman centurion asked.
"Yes." The elves, the Seven, and Chiron all said in various versions. The Roman whistled and turned back to where Annabeth was lecturing Percy, who had the decency to look ashamed.
"—ALTY IS YOUR FREAKING FATAL FLAW YOU LITTLE GIT IDIOT THICK HEADED SEAWEED BRAIN!"
"But that's why I—"
"DON'T LET ME HEAR YOUR EXCUSES! DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN. DON'T. YOU. DARE." She fumed, jabbing her dagger towards Percy's chest. He cringed.
"Sorry, sorry. Jeez, Annabeth. You're worse than my own mother." Annabeth rolled her eyes and pulled him in a soft kiss, and all the Venus and Aphrodite kids cooed and swooned over the lovie-doviness of the situation.
"We ship!" They all squealed. "Percabeth forever!"
[Yes, very sappy. What? I like Percabeth :)]
