The Mark of Athena,Heroes of Olympus, Book 3 By Rick Riordan


A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

Annabeth I

When you're stuck on a flying boat with a psychotic son of Hephaestus, you begin to wonder if it was worth the torture to get to your lost-for-eight-months boyfriend.

Annabeth had lost Percy a few months ago, but it had felt like forever to her.

What really sucked? The fact that living with Leo for half a week might not be worth it.

Every day, Annabeth asked Jason if he had his memories back. If Jason had them, wouldn't Percy?

Sadly, Jason didn't have them.

When they were about to land in California, Leo-who gave idiots a bad name-had given Annabeth news that would practically ruin her anticipating mood.

"Okay. Don't kill me with that nine-millimeter pistol you've got hidden in your drawer, but-" Leo began.

"Stalker!" Annabeth cried.

"-Jason said that you can not go insane and basically hug Percy to death."

"Me. Go insane. Are you sure he wasn't talking about a certain flamethrower?"

"Ouch, best comeback ever." Leo rolled his eyes. "Anyway, you can't do that! If they find out he's related to the Greeks..."

"That's what this mission is FOR!" Annabeth said, her voice rising with every word.

"Yeah, but death-by-girlfriend is probably looked down upon in Roman culture."

"You know what's going to be looked down upon in all cultures if you don't shut up?" Annabeth asked.

"No."

"Your gravestone!"

"Once again, Annabeth Chase has scarred me for life. I thought I was fire resistant, but you just burned me."

"Actually, Leo, her joke was pretty good," Piper said passing by.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go hide my pistol again!" Annabeth yelled into Leo's face.

"If you two children are done screaming at each other, we're about to land. By the way, repair boy, you didn't even get the message right! Annabeth, you can't go directly to Percy."

Annabeth opened her mouth to speak, but she was shushed by Jason.

"You can't. In Percy's absence, you are the leader of the camp. You will address New Rome when it comes to that."

"Fine. Can I address Percy individually?"

"NO!" shouted Leo.

"Wasn't asking you! Can I? Please? Please, Jason, pleeeaaase?" Annabeth pleaded, doing her big-grey-eyes face.

"NO!" repeated Leo.

"No," confirmed Jason. "It'll be a miracle if they've accepted him as it is! The Romans don't exactly like Neptune. You should see... crap!" Jason was suddenly angry.

"Memory?" Piper asked.

"Almost. Almost."

"If you'll excuse me again, I'm going to look for my boyfriend." Annabeth waved her fingers like, toodle-loo and walked off.

"What about your gun?" Leo called after her.

"Don't touch it!"
