The boy with the seaweed brain {Pernico}

Part 9:

Annabeth's POV:
We all knew where Grover was going.  We would've stopped him but we were also kind of curious.

I sat there sipping my drink, staring into space when Frank taps my shoulder.

"I'm going to head out and check around for Percy. He isn't in his cabin and no-one has seen him the camp. Wanna come?"

"Sure...I've nothing better to do..." I say, standing up and walking after him.

He transforms into a pegasus.

"Really? Trying something new?"

The pegasus nods and tilts his head towards his back.

I walk over and climb up onto it and he takes off.

"We should check over there first." I said, pointing over towards the east.

The pegasus nodded and turned course.

Percy's POV:
My father invited us to stay the night but we explained that we would have to tell someone where we were. He told us that he'd IM Chiron for us. We then agreed.

"Great! I'll have Tyson show you your room!"

Tyson smiled and walked over. He scooped me up and carried me out of the room leaving Nico behind to awkwardly speed walk after.

He places me down infront of a door and opens it to reveal a huge room. What would you expect? It's a Palace!

"Sleep well!" Tyson says before walking away.

"Well," I say as Tyson disappears around a corner, "We should get comfortable..."

Nico nods and we walk in.

Annabeth's POV:
We land back in camp. We found no sign of where Percy was and decided to head to dinner.

"Any luck?" Hazel asked.

I shook my head and sat down next to   Grover.

"Any luck with your part?" I ask the anxious saytr.

He puts the piece of tin he had been nibbling down and nods.

"So?!" Hazel asks.

"Last I saw they were walking into the sea together. I suppose Poseidon needed Perce for something."

"Could we ask Chiron? To see if he knows anything?" I ask, ordering my dinner

"S'pose." Grover says, back to the tin.

"I'll go ask after dinner." Hazel said, starting on her food.

"I'll go with you. Proof is stronger in twos." I say, doing the same.

Nico's POV:
I'm splayed on the bed as Percy paces back and forth.

"If Grover found out, he'd kill me with out an explanation and if I die I'll be disgracing my dad's side and breaking my promise to Chiron and Annabeth and-"

"Percy."

"Yeah?"

"Shut up and come lie down."

"...okay."

Percy walks over and sits on the edge before lying down next to me.

I wrap my arms around him and he rests his head on my chest.

"You don't need to panic. Chiron, Annabeth, My dad, your dad and I have your back. That's two gods and three demigods by your side against a single saytr."

"I guess you're right..." Percy sighed, his warm breath heating up an area on my chest, over my heart.

We lay in silence for a while.
