Hello guys ! Just before you begin to read my fic I'd like to precise one or two things. I'm not English, I'm Frensh and I'm only 17 years old and it means that I'm not the best english speaker in the world so don't be mad at me because I've made terrible mistakes. On the contrary, tell me and help me to correct myself. That's also the reason why my chapter will all be short. I prefer to write less but not so bad than a lot with an awful english.
It's my first fic so I'd appreciate reviews and suggestions.
I'm open to everything you have to say!
And I do not owe Percy Jackson Series. It all belongs to the marvellous Rick Riordan!
Chapter one :
When they arrived, she was not here.
The son of Poseidon, yes the Sea's god, the one and only Percy Jackson, was nervous. Definitely nervous. The strangest thing was that there was no apparent reason for him to be nervous. He was the praetor of Camp Roman, he has defeated the Giant's attack and he was about being reunited with his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. They have been separated by Hera, the Sky's queen. It was a part of her plan to win the war against the Earth, Gaïa. You see, no reason to be nervous? But he couldn't help being nervous.
Of course the not-very-friendly-look of the Argo II, the warship that the Greeks have taken to come from Camp Half-blood, was one of the reason he didn't feel well. If the meeting turned bad the weapons on the ship could seriously damaged the camp that he has begun to consider as another house. He swallows with difficulties when he saw the flamming metal dragon which was actually the figurehead of the ship. If the Greek's intention was to show that they were not weak, they've been successful. He would never admitted it, but he was quite impressive and maybe a bit afraid.
His hands were wet and he felt like a big weight was growing up in his chest. Annabeth must be on that ship and she was coming to him. After all, they've both been through, they finally found the way to each other. But, what if she has changed? What if her feelings has disappeared because of their separation? After all, the proverb says "out of sight, out of mind", doesn't it? His heart was pounding when he saw a ladder fall. Only three people, went down. And Annabeth was not one of those three people. His heart continued to overdrive but now, not nervous any more. He was worried for her. Where was she?
He glanced to Reyna, the other praetor and she looked like usual. Strong and powerful with a bit of threat in her eyes. Percy knew that she would be a terrible enemy and he wish he'd never been her target. He was not sure to survive at her anger.
The first Greek was a Roman. He had blond hair and incredible blue eyes. It was Jason Grace, the son of Jupiter. Percy only heard of him but he knew that he was his 'equivalent'. When Percy was the 'leader' of Camp Half-blood, Jason used to be the praetor of Camp Roman. The second was a thin and little boy who wore a funny belt. His name was Leo and he looked funny. The third, a girl, was wearing an Hello Kitty t-shirt. She was pretty but obviously didn't like that and tried to hide it. It does not work on Percy and certainly not on Reyna. Her name was Piper. He knew that because of the video Les sent to them.
Reyna talked first "Jason Grace, my former colleague... I welcome you home. And these, your friends... I'm Reyna and enchanted to meet all of you." She spoke the word you without leaving Piper's eyes.
"Thank you Reyna." Jason answered. "Let me introduce you Piper, daughter of Aphrodite." Reyna's eyes sparkled. There was no way that Jason could have felt for her. She was not a warrior and Jason loved warrior. But, why could she felt a kind of chemistry between both of them? "And here is Leo, son of Hephasteus. He love joking but there's more to him than meet the eyes. He has built the Argo II."
"And it seems that he has done a great job." She observed, a bit admiring.
Then, Jason turned to Percy and when he saw him, a wave of sadness went through his eyes and that was not helping Percy to feel better. "You must be Percy Jackson. I've heard about you."
"Me too. Guys here are just so crazy about you."
Jason laughed. "It has been the same at Camp Half-blood. I remember when I've met Annabeth..."
Suddenly, Piper cleared her throat and Jason stopped talking. They were hiding something and Percy was about to ask what when Reyna interrupted his thought by saying "It seems we have a lot to discuss and I'd rather do that around a big welcome feast." Percy couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible happened to Annabeth. And he needed to figure out what.
