Saving Percy {Percy Jackson Fanfiction}

Chapter 4

Annabeths POV

"We need to get going" I say loudly enough for the half asleep Thalia to hear.

"Mhm" she says, about to drift off to sleep.

"Thalia!" I scream in her ear "Cyclops!"

Her eyes flutter open and she sits up in a matter of a second. "What! Where?"

"Alright lets get going" I say, picking up my new sword, a gift from Percy's brother Tyson, since my dagger got lost in Tartarus.

"How rude, waking me up with a heart attack!" Thalia protests as she gets to her feet and takes a few moments stretching.

"You should have woken up the first time!" I say and begin walking. I hear Thalia grabbing her bow and backpack as I begin my decent away from the tree.

Thalia runs and catches up to me. "Where do you think he is?"

"Something tells me California" I say heading the direction I think is west.

"Alright, lets just walk there from whatever state Blackjack dropped us off at" Thalia says sarcastically.

"I think we're in the centre of Kansas"

"Alright lets just waltz on over to California"

What's with Thalias sarcasm today?

~^~^~

"Sir can you tell me where we are? Our dad got us lost" Thalia says to the fat, lazy guy at a greyhound station.

"Abiliene, Kansas ma'am" he answers in the most annoyed voice possible.

"Thank you, how much for tickets?"

~^~^~

"I am going back to sleep now" my business is done for today, tomorrow we should be in Denver" hands behind her head, Thalia leans back against the seat and closes her eyes.

I sigh, so much for my nap. I pull out Daedalus's laptop and do some research on the things that could have possibly taken Percy, and where there located.

After about an hour I found something.

Nycu, a Titan that lives around LA in an abandon mansion, who likes to take demigods that havent been discovered found yet, or that no one cares for.

(A/N: completely made up that name lawl)

I close the laptop and think just getting lost in my own world, soon all I see is black.


I wake up with Thalia shaking my shoulders. My eyelids slowly flutter open, revealing a pink sunrise.

"God your heavy Annabeth!" Thalia says, sitting down next to me "it was really stressing to get you off that bus"

"Oh, we should get going! I want to see Percy!"

"Ok, but first I'm hungry"

"Your immortal"

"Yes, but hungry"

"Alright fine" I groan and get to my feet.

After god knows how long of walking we reach a popular looking diner.

"Thalia? Got any money left?"

She shakes her head as she walks through the glass door, making a bell chirp.

A lady with enough makeup to be a clown on walks up to us, and looks us up and down with a disgusted look upon her ugly little face. "May i help you... umm... ladies?"

My clothes may be ripped and hair caked with blood but it sure looks better then her face.

Thalias facial expression shows her annoyance. "Yes you can! Why do you think we walked in here for? To hunt elephants?"

"Well that looks like what you have been doing" the waitress replies confidentially.

"And it looks like you have been drawing on you face with Crayola" Thalia then straitens her posture, and shows herself to a nice window seat with me following.

The waitress comes up to the table, "alright, get out, you don't have money and this isn't a trash can. Shoo"

"Actually we do have money" I respond.

"Oh yes, the salad is only 99 cents today!" She replies angrily. She wants us out.

Thalia then gives the woman a golden drachma with a slight smirk.

The woman takes it with a surprised expression. She doesn't question it. "I'll get you two menus" and she scampers off.

"Nice job Thalia, that doesn't raise any suspicion about us"

"Well I don't know about you but I'm hungry and I want food without hunting it"

The Crayola waitress comes back with menus, "I'll be back to get your orders soon"

I scan slowly through the menu no thanks to dyslexia.

The last time I was reading a menu was with Percy. My eyes burn, burning like when your about to burst out crying.

I hold back tears, I have to stay strong and find him.

The rest of the night was a boring blur, walking with Thalia over to a train station, it took 5 hours to get to and it was long past midnight when we arrived.

~^~^~

Thalia and I sit down on the ripped old chairs of the outdoor train station.

I want to take out my laptop but I decide against it. There's homeless men sitting in other chairs staring at Thalia and I like we're fresh meat, I don't want my laptop stolen so I keep it in my backpack.

"Go to sleep Annabeth" Thalia says quietly.

"I'm not tired though!" Honestly I feel like I just ate too much nectar and it's running through my veins, and my mind, powered by sugar.

"Sure?"

I nod.

"Can I sleep then?"

"Sure" god she sleeps so much more than I remember.

Thalia drifts off to sleep and I get a feeling that I'm alone. I start to get lost in my own world when someone grabs my wrist with one hand and covers my mouth with their other. "Don't say anything" a deep voice whispers.
