The Annabeth Chase Column

PART ONE: Make Sadie meet Anubis's lookalike: Nico di Angelo

Annabeth should make Nico and Sadie meet each other and not introduce one another at all and not let them introduce either. (This is just to see Sadie's reaction to Nico since he looks a lot like Anubis).

Full dare wouldn't fit in the title. Shoutout to @flameshine19 for this amazing dare! Thank you so much, keep sending them! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I haven't seen Sadie in forever. Nico either... He wasn't at Camp Half-Blood while I visited on my last dare... his father wanted to spend Christmas with him, Will had told me. Nico was miserable in the underworld. But... he was really enjoying the fact that his dad was trying. I... I sort of wish my mom — Athena — wanted to celebrate Christmas together.

Okay, so, I am the biggest Annabeth fan you will ever meet. But... I'm blanking... does Annabeth have a religion? I don't think she does. I think I'm going to make her part Jewish, part Christian. Other religions, don't kill me. She can't be Muslim though, because then she would cover her hair and to be honest, I don't know much about any other religion — Buddhism, Taoism, are there other religions??? Really sorry, don't hate me! I love you all no matter your beliefs.

I fell into a deep sleep, searching for Nico. It wasn't that hard... I had learned how to do it better during the first Giant War. I passed through Hypno's cabin. Clovis said hi.

"Hi Annabeth," he said.

"Clovis!" I groaned. "You dream too strongly!"

Clovis shrugged. "Sorry." He yawned.

"How are you tired? You're literally sleeping right now!"

Clovis shrugged again. "You know Annabeth, I had something to show you... hmm... what was it?" He scrunched up his face in deep thought. "Something to do with the gods..." his face lit up in realization. "Ah... yes!"

He placed two fingers on dream me's forehead and I was whisked away to Mount Olympus. The throne room.

"He pretended to be a child of Olympus!" said Zeus. "We should obviously kill him!"

"Chillax!" said Hermes. Chillax? Really, since when did Hermes say chillax? Whatever... "It was just a prank. A dare." He shrugged. "No harm done."

"Yes, that is true!" my mother said, jumping in. "No harm was done. It was simply a joke." Anything said by the goddess of wisdom was convincing... let's be honest.

Zeus nodded. "I shall think upon this..."

Mr. D sat on his throne slouched over. "Cool," he said with no enthusiasm whatsoever. "Now, unless you want to pardon me, can I get back to my miserable century?"

Zeus rolled his eyes. I didn't know the gods were capable of slang and sassiness and sarcasm. What the... "Go," Zeus told him and with a pop Dionysus was gone. "It may have been a joke... but I am still debating whether to punish the boy or not. Though a prank - it was not a well-thought out one if your daughter and that boy did not consider the consequences," he said to Athena.

"It would be unwise to kill the son of Frey," said Athena. "We do not want another war. Peace has been... nice."

"Another war?" I whispered to Clovis who shrugged for a THIRD time.

"Thor and Odin were not happy when you killed that kid last time," Ares pointed out. Okay, since when does Ares make good points???

"I shall think on it," said Zeus again — nodding, a little annoyed this time. "But your daughter better not do it again!" He told Athena.

Athena nodded, "Seems fair." She looked exactly at me as if she knew I was there... which she couldn't, and said: "She will not do it again."

I made two mental notes. One: warn Magnus to lay low and stay in Valhalla until this blows over (because there if he dies, he comes back to life). Two: don't do anything stupid. Somehow, with all your guys' dares, I feel like the second one will be harder to keep. If it's a dare, it's a dare. What can I do...? Right?

Clovis grabbed my arm and in a nauseating whirl, I was back in the Hypnos cabin. "Thanks," I said to Clovis.

He shrugged AGAIN. "No problem. Now... let me patch you through to Nico."

Hey, sorry for the short chapter. Wattpad (well, or Wattpad or my phone) is going crazy and is giving me a word limit. I can only post 875 words per chapter. I sent out a help request and I hope to have the issue fixed soon. As promised, you guys WILL get three updates Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday except now one of them is split into multiple parts. Really sorry!!!

I've been rereading a little my author's notes and I know it seems like I'm making a LOT of excuses VERY often but I promise — I'm not!

I think I'll post either one or two tomorrow and the rest Thursday.

Hope you enjoyed!!! Also, does anyone ELSE feel like Clovis should have a bigger part in the series??? I feel like he's just teased a lot... poor Clovis!!!

Vote, comment, whatever (if you want to...)

Catch you next time!!!

(Word count is at 873 words. Cutting it close... 😅)
