heres the new chappie!
Annabeth
Up until that afternoon, Annabeth was having the day of her life. Well, except for the part where Leo woke her up by screaming right into her ear.
“GODS Leo!!!! Did you really have to scream that loud?!?”
Leo rubbed his head. “Sorry. Bad dreams.”
By that time, everyone in the barrack had already woken. up.
“What about?” Hazel asked.
Leo looked really uncomfortable. “Uh, not much I guess. I'd better get ready for breakfast.”
He raced out the door with everyone staring at the doorway, confused. Annabeth was more than sure that Leo was dodging a conversation.
Percy walked up to her. “Let him be. Everyone has dreams.”
She nodded and together they walked to breakfast.
Reyna made an announcement that the praetor battle would be tomorrow. At that, the Greeks and Romans started muttering to each other. Reyna seemed to feel the tension in the air and quickly said, “Now let us eat!” She raised her glass. “To the gods!”
They all repeated the phrase.
Annabeth immediately walked towards Argo II which was parked at the Field of Mars. Back at Camp Half-Blood, she had taken time to design a special room for each of the seven. They had left two untouched, not sure who they were, but the other's were decorated. Percy's room took the most damage, almost cleaving the bed in half. The drawers were blown to shreds and the lamp was shattered into a million pieces.
Percy had begged her to let him check out his room, but she had resisted. I can't wait to see his expression. Annabeth grinned as she walked to his room. The outer walls were lined with seashells and coral. The inside walls were a beautiful sea-green, just like Percy's eyes, with glowing abalone like in Cabin Three in Camp Half-Blood. Leo had made a new bed with wave-pattern sheets and a soft blue pillow.
Annabeth sighed. Just being in this room gave her the sensation of being safe in Percy's arm. The salty smell of the ocean filled the room.
The desk she had designed and the lighting haven't been installed yet, but she could already imagine what the finished room would look like. A set of armor hung on the wall, along with a new shield that Tyson had made a few weeks ago while they were on the search for Percy. It was similar to the original wristband watch-shield, with pictures of their adventures together, which made Annabeth think of the better times.
She moved on to Piper's room. The daughter of Aphrodite had insisted that her room can not be pink, so Annabeth chose red, which Piper approved of. This room was nearly finished. Just a few more tiles to place and a lamp to light up the place. The wall was plastered in posters of the movie's Tristan McLean had played in. The Aphrodite girls were squealing when they saw the room, but Annabeth had to replace them all because of some certain goddess.
Annabeth moved on to check Leo's room. She gasped when she entered. The room... it was amazing!
“My gods,” Annabeth muttered.
The day before, only the walls were painted and the only furniture in the room was the bed frame. Now the walls were decorated with flame designs and the sheets and pillows were red and orange. There was a brick fire place at the back of the room and the desks and tables were metal. The lamp was in the shape of a dragon, a bronze dragon. Festus. Annabeth ran her fingers over the delicate curves on the sculpture. Only the ceiling wasn't painted. A golden chandelier hung from the ceiling. Annabeth let out a small laugh. This room was beautiful.
Then she heard foot steps coming towards the room in the hall and knew that it was a worker coming to work on the ceiling.
She was wrong. It was Piper.
“Annabeth!” Piper called, smiling like a madman.
Annabeth grinned. Piper was a great friend. “Hey,” she greeted. “How's it going?”
Piper's smile faded. “Oh. Hazel wants to see you.”
Annabeth frowned. “Why?”
“I don't know. She seemed, troubled? I guess. More like nervous. I'm not sure.” She shrugged. “The thing is, she wants to meet with you in the barracks after you finish checking the boat.” She looked at her watch. “In about forty minutes.”
Annabeth nodded. “Okay. Thanks.”
“Anytime.”
Piper turned and jogged off. Annabeth watched her go. Forty minutes. Plenty of time.
Annabeth ventured to Jason's room and saw Leo under a desk, trying to nail everything together, cursing in ancient Greek.
“Stupid nail,” he muttered. “Why won't you go in?” He slammed his hammer at the nail and suddenly, “YEEOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!”
Annabeth winced at the sound. That definitely did not sound good.
Leo came out from under the desk, muttering a curse, holding a very red, very fat thumb. He tottered in different directions, still cussing under his breath.
She bit her lip, trying very hard not to laugh.
“Stupid hammer, stupid, nail, stupid desk, stupid room, stupid Gae-eaa-” He stuttered to a halt in front of Annabeth. “Uh, hi. Didn't see you.”
“Sorry,” Annabeth said. “Didn't mean to startle you.”
“Oh, no. No. It's fine. Just fixing this stupid desk.”
Annabeth glanced over and saw a huge eagle carved into the wooden desk. “You did that?”
“Yeah.” Then he kicked one of the legs and the whole this crumbled down. He sighed. “Guess I have to make a new one.”
He plopped down onto the ground and pulled out large plank of redwood, though how it fit in there, she had no idea.
Annabeth looked at the room, then at the ceiling, which was painted gray to represent thunder clouds.
The walls were painted sky blue and just looking at the floor made her feel like she was floating.
“This is amazing.”
Leo grinned. “Like it?”
Annabeth punched Leo in the shoulder. “Of course, Valdez. I'm thinking that you would do great as my co-architect for Olympus.”
His jaw dropped. “You serious?”
She laughed. “Well, Percy isn't exactly the designing type, and I need someone who is good at building and designing.”
Thunder shook the room and Annabeth jumped so high she nearly knocked the lamp off the coffee table.
Leo laughed. “Gottcha!”
“Did you put that in, Valdez?”
“Yeah.”
“To scare off monsters?” Annabeth teased.
“What? Of course not.”
She smiled. “Anyways. I need to check on the other rooms.”
She was already down the hall before she remembered that she forgot to ask Leo about his dream.
That can wait, Annabeth decided.
She entered Hazel's room, which still has a lot of work to do. The walls were painted gold and there were precious rocks lined on a wooden, unpainted desk. There was a beautiful, golden lamp on a nightstand and a bed frame. But that was just about it. No mattress or sheets. And no floor. And no drawers.
Annabeth sighed. I need to get Leo to work on this.
Then she noticed a bronze sculpture of a beautiful tan horse. With a start, she realized that it was Arion. The sculpture looked so much like the real horse Annabeth almost forgot it wasn't real.
Annabeth moved on.
Frank's room was painted blood-red, with pictures of weapons on the walls. Paintings of animals covered the ceiling. The bed was a plain green, which Annabeth thought looked disgusting against the read background. Blue would work better. She made a mental note to tell one of the Romans to change the sheets. The floor was finished, but it was dark. No lamps or light. That sucks.
The desks and tables were completed with designs of animals on it.
Well, that's it.
Annabeth stopped in front of another room, her room. The door was closed and she was tempted to see what it looked like. Her friends had forbidden her to see, especially Percy. Annabeth reached for the door knob when a voice said, “I don't think so.”
She whirled around. “Katie. What are you doing here?”
Katie Gardener smiled. “Checking to make sure you don't peak inside your room. We're still working on the paint.”
Annabeth sighed. “All right. I'll wait till you're done.”
“Good.”
“Well, I'd better see what Hazel wants.”
Katie nodded in understanding. “See you around.”
She raced down the road, ignoring the strange looks from some people. She stopped in front of the barracks to catch her breath. Cautiously, Annabeth turned the door knob and peered inside.
Hazel was sitting on her bunk, and her eyes were red, like she'd been crying.
She walked in and silently closed the door.
“Hazel? Are you all right?” Annabeth asked. Something felt wrong.
Hazel stared into her eyes and Annabeth saw pain and sadness. “You-you'll forgive me, right?” she whispered.
“Uh Hazel?” Annabeth said, because Hazel was really starting to freak her out. “Should I get a medic?”
“I'm so sorry Annabeth.”
“Wha-?”
Just then, a gag went over her mouth and tied behind her head.
Then huge hands tied her hands behind her back. Annabeth tried to scream but it was muffled.
Hazel started to cry. “I'm so sorry. I had to save Frank.” Then she turned at raced out of the door.
Annabeth could feel tears stream down her cheeks and then the world turned black.
