Well Lookie Here I'm a Demigod

Chapter 18

Annabeth

When we hopped on Festus I remembered about Ariana's fears and I asked her about it,

"Hey Ari."

"Yeah?"

She asks turning her head away from the scenery below us

"So um, Chiron kind of told me about something,"

I say

"He kind of told me about your fears."

"He WHAT?"

She asks standing up and wobbling, then sitting back down on the big saddle that Leo put on Festus so we don't have to ride like a horse

"Yeah, he told me that you were scared of spiders, wild animals, and going places-"

"I'M AWARE OF WHAT I AM AFRAID OF!"

She says and finally Percy, Leo, and Piper, the most oblivious people in the whole world, turn around

"What are you guys talking about?"

Piper asks

Ariana's face turns a deep red. I don't know why she is so embarrassed of her fears. We are all afraid of something.

"We are talking about her-"

I say until she cuts me off

"Nothing. We are talking about nothing."

Looking unsatisfied they all turn back around and start their conversation

" Ariana there is nothing to be afraid of about telling your fears!"

I whisper

"Turn around so we can talk about it privately."

She says and turns her back to Percy, Leo. and Piper

"So why do you not want people to know about your fears?"

I ask again

"Okay, I guess I'll tell you,"

She says

"It's just that everyone here is only afraid of like one thing and I'm afraid of not one, not two, but three things! It makes me sound like a wimp. I mean, wild animals? Why am I afraid of wild animals?"

She asks

I have my mouth wide open by the end of her little rant

"Ariana,"

I say with my eyes open talking like im teaching a five year old,

"All of us are afraid of more than one thing! You are not the only one!"

"But I'm afraid of three things while you guys are like afraid of only like two!"

She says and throws her hands up in the air

"Oh my gods, Ariana, you have no clue do you?"

I say shaking my head

"No."

She said dragging out the 'no'

"All of us have at least three more fears than you."

I say

All of a sudden she perks up

"Really!?"

"Really!"

I say

She sighs happily and says,

"I'm going to take a nap."

Then plops down on the saddle and instantly her breath evens and she falls asleep.

I decided I should go to sleep too when i see that it was getting dark I do exactly what Ariana did and plop down and fall instantly fell into a dreamless sleep. For once.

...

I wake up and realize that we are really close to the ground. Then I see that we are landing and everybody else already has everything ready.

"Hurry up, Annabeth, we are about to land."

Piper says tossing me my dagger that I guess I left over there when I went to talk to Ariana about her fears.

I am confused where we are for a second until we finally land on a tall hill and then I can see it. Everyone was nervous about what was going to happen next when we walked down the hill. I feel like the same question keep going on in all our minds,

How are we going to do this?

The answer is, We will just have to try our best. Well that is my mind's answer. Then we approach Camp Jupiter's gates way too soon.

(OOH WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT?! Well this feels like a long chapter while it's probably only like 2 pages. SEE YA GUYS LATER.)
