I'm back.
Disclaimer: Nope. Own nada.
Annabeth's eyes flew open as she heard Rachel scream. The first word that came into her mind was Anthelia, and so she jumped out of bed and looked around at her surroundings. Everything looked perfectly normal except for Rachel's disheveled look.
"Rachel, are you okay?" Annabeth asked, still scared something might jump out at her.
"Did you see what I did?" Was all Rachel could say. Her green eyes were bright with excitement and horror, and her red hair was flying everywhere.
Annabeth slowly shook her head, starting to get confused by Rachel.
"It was like I...It was like... I lifted this book without using my hands." Rachel looked at her hands incredulously, gasping but smiling all the same.
Annabeth feigned surprise-she knew about how Rachel was a witch.
"Show me."
"Alright." Annabeth walked over to Rachel, and as Rachel lifted her right hand up slowly, the book started to levitate.
The red-headed witch quickly put her hand down, and the book fell to the floor with a thud!
Annabeth smiled, looking at her friend up and down.
"Is this actual real life? Do I have powers or-"
"I think you do."
Rachel looked around the room, not being able to believe what was going on. She couldn't possibly have powers, those were only for the fiction novels.
"If I actually have powers, does this mean I can make Percy fall in love with me?" The red-head joked.
Annabeth tensed, but quickly smiled brightly. "If you really want to..."
"I feel like I should be scared right now, but strangely I'm not...I feel...happy and powerful."
"You should."
"Why aren't you scared right now?"
"Because this is freaking amazing. I have no reason to be afraid of you." Rachel broke into a smile and hugged Annabeth tightly.
"I'm going to start practicing this magic or something...I...I can't believe this..."
"I'm happy for you, Rach."
"I'm happy for me, too."
Annabeth laughed, and started to walk away from her roommate.
"I have to go somewhere, I'll see you soon!"
"Don't you have to get ready first?" Annabeth looked down and noticed she was still wearing her pajamas.
"Good point, I owe you one."
Once Annabeth got ready, she ran down the stairs and without knocking, came into Percy's dorm room.
Percy was still asleep, so Annabeth made sure to be quiet as she crept towards him and sat in an empty small space on his bed. With each passing day, Percy and Annabeth were getting closer and closer. They were becoming fast friends, and the pair didn't seem to mind.
"Wake up, we need to go visit Luke." Annabeth said, pushing Percy so he could wake.
She succeeded.
Percy groaned when he saw her face and rolled over.
"You know, you drool in your sleep." Annabeth playfully teased as she got up and walked to the door. She needed Percy so they could both talk to Luke again, and see if there were any improvements. If she went alone, Luke could kill her.
"I do not."
"Yeah, you do. Now let's go." Percy got up and quickly readied himself to look decent. Annabeth opened the door for him, and he rolled his eyes.
"I'm pretty sure the guy's the one to open the door for girls, right?"
"This is 2017. Get used to it, Jackson."
"You know in my time-"
"I don't need to know. I still consider you my age."
Percy snickered as he and Annabeth went into the restricted area, and then into the maze.
Once they finally found their way into the cellar, they opened the door to find Luke without the powerful medallion on and awake, but he was still weak as he was lying on the ground.
Annabeth knelt down and lightly touched his face. He was in the cellar for two months now, and she couldn't take it; she was missing her boyfriend.
Her normal, sweet, adorable boyfriend.
Percy went to Luke's side and he checked him.
"It's a good thing he doesn't look like he wants to drink you blood."
"So he can leave now?"
"No, he needs a week or so. Give it time."
Annabeth looked at Percy with irritation written across her face.
"We always give it time, but then something happens."
"That's why we need to give it time, Chase.'
It was quiet for a while until Annabeth softly spoke to her boyfriend.
"Hey, Luke...are you doing any better?"
Luke exhaled deeply, not able to talk because he was so weak.
"Percy, can you give me the elixir?' Percy took it out from his pocket and gave it to her. She fed Luke the liquid, and put it away.
"Feel any better?"
"Yeah...thank you." Luke managed to croak out.
Annabeth smiled softly at him.
"I'll see you in the evening...bye, Luke." The blonde beauty got up and walked off with Percy, and entered the normal school building.
"Do you really think he needs a week?" Was all Annabeth could ask. Percy looked down at her, and shrugged.
"Yeah, it's hard for him but I see that he's fighting at least."
The friends walked in silence until she spoke.
"Rachel discovered her powers."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, she levitated a book...Percy, we need to keep her safe and in our hands before Anthelia and Katherine get to her."
"You're right. But I already feel like we have the upper hand, so let's not worry about it until the problem comes head first at us."
Annabeth nodded, agreeing with Percy.
"Annabeth!" a voice called out, causing her to whirl around.
It was Malcolm, but he was with someone.
"Dad?" She asked breathlessly.
Her father smiled, and she ran up to hug him.
"I'm so glad to see you, Annabeth and Malcolm."
"What are you doing here?" She asked when they untangled themselves from each other.
"I'm here to finally tell you guys...we can go back home-to San Francisco."
"Wait, what?" Malcolm asked.
"Your mom wouldn't want me to be putting you to the other side of the country. I already talked to the school about it and everything."
"Dad, I don't want to go. I finally started to like it here, and-"
"Who must this young man be?"
"I'm Percy, a friend of your son and daughter." Fredrick shook hands with Percy awkwardly.
"It's nice to meet you. Now you guys both get your suitcases ready, alright. I'll give you an hour." With that, Malcolm and Annabeth's father left and went outside.
Percy, and the two siblings looked at each other in confusion.
"What just happened?" Malcolm asked.
"I have no idea."
"You guys can't just go."
"There's a reason dad wants us back, Malcolm..."
"This place is like my home, Annabeth. We can't just leave."
"Then we won't." Annabeth replied, not knowing her promise wasn't going to be fulfilled.
Like? Review? Thank ya. (There will be more to this story, I promise. I have many ideas to make this story filled with drama).
