The Night Without Stars-The Fall of Olympus
Annabeth goes speechless
*Percy's POV*
"Percy!" I hear Annabeth shout. Uh-oh.
I search my room frantically for a hiding spot, no luck.
"Percy!" She yells again, her voice closer this time.
I duck out of my room and into a dark hallway. I spot a supply closet. Thank the gods!
I quickly dive inside, successfully knocking over a mop and two paint cans. They clatter to the ground. Nice one, Percy. I say to myself sarcastically. I close and lock the door as Annabeth rounds the corner. I close my eyes tightly and pray to Posiden that she doesn't find me. If she does, she'll get the surprise out of me for sure. And if she doesn't, Piper will.
"Where is he?" I hear her say, right outside the door. I hold my breath.
*Annabeth's POV*
I am not stupid. Does he really think I missed the whole 'knock over everything in the supply closet' episode? It sounded like a trainwreck for the gods sakes.
I decide to wait for him to come out himself. I, unlike some demigods, #percyjackson, have patience. Not counting, of course, tracking him down to find out the surprise. That is not lack of patience, but the fact that I cannot stand surprises. Right?
I hear movement from inside the supply closet. Percy might be good with a sword, but he can't be quiet for more than 10 seconds, the beauty of having ADHD, A Dam Head Disorder. Technically, it affects demigods hands and feet, but it starts with head, or brain, sending mixed signals, hence A Dam Head Disorder. I stiffle a laugh, remembering our entertaining trip to The Hoover Dam.
Percy opens the door, and i smile evilly at him. "You wanted to tell me something?"
"Nope." He responds, dodging me and running towards the deck. I chase after him as fast as my legs can carry me, and run right into Hazel. "Sorry...Percy...run...bye." I breathe, and continue running. I stop as soon as I see it. A blanket, and snacks in between two pillows.
"I thought we could go stargazing." I jump as Percy hugs me from behind. I don't know what to say. We both, silently, sit down. I hug my knees to my chest, fighting back tears.
"It's okay, Annabeth, it's okay." Percy comforts me. I cry. I tell him everything, about my parents, my stepmom, all the pressure and responsiblity, everything. By the time I'm finished, I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders.
"Oh, Annabeth." Is all he says.
"Can we talk about it later, though?" I ask, not wanting to ruin our night.
"Of course, anything you want." He says quickly. We both look to the sky.
"Annabeth?" He asks, voice trembling, "Where are the stars?"
"Percy!" I hear Annabeth shout. Uh-oh.
