The Girl With Two Fathers

Chapter One

~Annabeth's POV~

After the appearance of the oracle, all the leaders went to the amphitheater for a meeting. That was ten minutes ago, since then everyone's been demanding what secret Percy was hiding.

Piper and I shared a look. "QUIET!" Piper yelled, using a lot of charm speak.

"Now that your all quiet. We can ask politely." I turned towards Percy. "What secret was the oracle talking about Percy?"

He looked down. "I don't know. There isn't anything that you don't know Annabeth." Percy looked up at the end, and he sounded sincere of his words.

"But, you're a child of the sea." Dakota stated.

"There's more than one deity of the sea, Dakota." Reyna countered.

"Exactly, we can't predict who the secret belongs to." Chiron agreed. There were murmurs of agreement around the amphitheater from the leaders.

"And, we will learn more, when Rachel wakes up." I reasoned.

"Annabeth's right." Reyna agreed. She stood up, gaining the attention of both camps leaders. "We agreed today we would be leaving for Camp Jupiter. We will be leaving in four hours, enough time for everyone to say their goodbye's."

Reyna turns to me, holding out a hand. "Hope we can meet again. And, when we do, let it be on a friendly visit. Not on a battlefield."

I shook hands with her. It was her way of telling and reassuring all the leaders, that there will be a next time. But, hopefully in a good situation.

During the four hours, there was a lot of goodbye's. I found out that Piper and Jason are staying at Camp Half-Blood, Hazel and Frank will return to Camp Jupiter, and Percy and I will be leaving for the city.

"Well, I guess this is it." Jason said. The seven, minus Leo, are saying the final farewell for awhile on Half-Blood Hill.

"Jason, there will be a next time." I put in.

"Annabeth's right. This is a 'I will see you later'." Percy agreed.

"Plus, Reyna and I were thinking of coming back for a few weeks in the beginning of summer next year." Frank said.

"I'm going to miss you all." Hazel said, looking a little sad. We all smiled and shared a group hug, before turning in our separate directions.

Percy and I were walking for a few minutes, when Nico came running and telling us to stop.

Nico caught up with us, and admitted he had a crush on Percy when he was younger. Nico walked back to camp, leaving Percy spluttering out nonsense and my trying not to laugh at Percy's expression.

I say that was a good and normal ending for the Giant War, only wish Leo could be here to celebrate as well.

Depressing ending, I know. I really want some input on my story. I know it's a recently published story, but that doesn't mean I can't ask for feedback!
