So, next installment of the series. I suggest you read my first story, Percy Jackson: Chaos' Right Hand Man and Apprentice. If you notice, I'm super creative with names lol. Well, hope you enjoy, and thanks to all those who submitted characters. I would've loved to put them all in the story, but I was way over the limit of I believe it was 4 characters I set for myself. Anywho…

Disclaimer: Don't own PJO.

OMG HoH CAME OUT TODAY! End of fangirling.


Percy POV

About two days later after the whole forming a new island plan and Annabeth is already frazzled. Take tonight for example. I walked into her room to wish her a good night and I found her sitting on the floor with blueprints and papers strewn around her. She was in the middle of all that chaos with her Daedalus laptop on her lap, blue delta sign glowing. She was tapping out a series of commands furiously, sometimes stopping to shake her head and growl in frustration; she would the erase the work and start over again, even more annoyed.

I knelt down next to her and placed my hands over her eyes. "Guess who?"

She jumped in surprise and grabbed my hand, flipping me over her head and slamming me down on top of the blueprints for one of Athena's shrines.

I groaned and looked up at her, upside down. "Geez Wise Girl. That hurt."

She leaned back and crossed her arms. "Maybe that'll teach you not to sneak up on me."

I sat up and held my back, wincing in pain as my hand came into contact with my spine. "Says the girls with the hat of invisibility."

"That's different."

"Sure it is." I leaned forward and kissed her. When I pulled away, I looked around at the multitude of blueprints. "Gee Anna. Are you sure you have enough?"

"Haha." She retorted. "Very funny."

I grinned. "I'm just kidding." I picked one up at random and studied it. It was a draft for the new bathhouses. I remembered the few baths I had at the Roman camp and this looked like the same idea. Hundreds of jets, lots of steam, and temperature changing water that felt different to each person. Perfect. "Wow. This is… amazing."

She looked over my shoulder and smiled. "Thanks. Though I can't seem to get the proportions right. And what do you think, silver accents or golden? Marble columns or some other type of stone. What do you think?"

I gazed at the drawing more intently. "Definitely golden. But seriously Anna." I placed both my hands on her shoulders. "You have got to stop these insane hours."

"But Perce-"

"Nope. I'm taking you out tomorrow. No excuses. These plans will just have to wait until tomorrow."

"Percy. This is super important. Chaos is counting on me. Everyone is counting on me."

I sighed. "I think they also want you alive. Now be ready by ten tomorrow." I kissed her temple and stood up. Just as I neared the door, Chaos's face appeared on Annabeth's television.

"Hello! How are my favorite warriors?"

"Fine." Replied Annabeth, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "What do you need?"

Chaos looked a little startled. "Annabeth, are you sleeping at all? You look terrible!"

She glared at the screen. "Thanks. That's what every girl wants to hear."

He waved his hand and smiled. "Anyways, I have some news for you. In about a week or so, a group of my warriors and assassins are going to come and stay with you. Won't that be fun?"

"Tons." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Exactly!" He beamed and then started to root for something off screen. Annabeth and I looked at each other as me could hear him shuffle paper and mutter a few choice curse words. Finally he reappeared, looking very annoyed. "Well, it seems as if my idiot assistant misplaced the names of those who were going to join you." He turned his head and yelled, "Myrtle! Where is that list!?" He turned back to us and shook his head and sighed. 'Good help is so hard to find these days. Anyways, good luck!" He waved and the image dissolved until it became black.

We looked at each other and started to laugh at Chaos's antics. Suddenly, there was a poof of white smoke and sitting in front of us was a scroll bound with a black ribbon. Annabeth leaned forward and opened the scroll, reading the names aloud:

Sapphire (Saffie)
Becca (Bec)
Jessie
Arianne
Cameron (Cam)
Kelly
Cole

She finished the list and looked up at me. "Well, not a bad group of people."

"Are you kidding!" I exclaimed. "Kelly's coming! Do you think she's bringing her Pegasus?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "You and your obsession with horses."

I stuck out my tongue. "You're just jealous you can't talk to them. And besides, according to you, owls…" I paused, clasped my hands together and fluttered my eyelashes, and spoke in a horribly falsetto voice. "Are the best things in the world!"

She shoved me and I toppled over, laughing my butt off. "Be quiet! And yes, they are."

I straightened up and got to my feet. "Well, I'd love to stay Wise Girl, but I'm dead on my feet, so I'm going to bed."

She stood up and hugged me. "Night Seaweed Brain."

I smiled and closed her door. Tomorrow was going to be amazing.
