P & J: Potter and Jackson

Ch. 3

Annabeth's P.O.V

After coming from Olympus to Camp Half-Blood with a taller, more muscular Percy, Chiron called the Seven and Nico to the Big House.

"I am very sorry to say... you have a quest and are leaving for England tomorrow", informed us Chiron. We all started to complain, Leo's hair was set on fire and the plumbing started to rattle because of Percy.

"Now, now... Listen please. A long time ago Hecate had very powerful descendants, their magic has been passed on for centuries. Your quest will be to keep the wizarding world stabilised, they just came out of a war, not nearly as threatening as ours, but it was a very big shock on their world."

"What do they call themselves? Magicians like... like from Brooklyn?", asked Percy.

"No, they are called wizards or witches, and call mortals, muggles", said Chiron.

"At what hour are we leaving? ", asked Jason.

"At 8:00 a.m. You'll be teleported there by Lady Hecate", said Chiron.

"We just came out of a war too, one that happened about 10 months after another war. Aren't these wizards strong enough to stabilise themselves ? Or is there another war-like reason?", I asked suspiciously.

Silence.

"What?!?!?!", we all yelled and Chiron flinched.

"The gods feel a strong power rising on the wizards' side, but it would be catastrophic,the wizards would lose, ending the world forever.".

Silence again, something really freaky for a room full of ADHD demigods (except for Frank of course).

"Ok, well then... I guess I'll go pack, gotta save the world for... what the third time now?" said Percy barely above a whisper and notoriously angry - which somehow was worse than a raging and screaming Percy- and then stormed off. Chiron looked worriedly at me, I nodded in understanding and left to find and console my boyfriend.

"Percy?" No answer. "Seaweed Brain...?" I knocked again on the Poseidon cabin's door.

"Not now, Annabeth. I'm fine. See you at dinner?", I wasn't liking his tone, he sounded defeated and tired and very un-Percy. I opened the door and saw Percy sitting on his bed, he had a picture of us and his mom, I recognised it as the one some random person took for us while we were on a picnic. His face was tear stained and his eyes were red from crying.

My heart broke.

He noticed I was there and he immediately turned around so I wouldn't see him cry. I went around the bunk and sat down beside him.

"Percy? What's wrong? How is this different from the other two times?", I asked. He just shook his head and I saw his hands start to tremble so I held them.

"It's just... this isn't what I want. I know that this is the demigod life and I love to fight alongside you and the others... but I'm tired. I'm tired of everything just crashing down on our shoulders. I feel... I feel broken and it's just...", he ran his hands through his hair and sighed.

"I get it. I really do, but I love to be with you and we kinda have to have to a world to live in to be together, right? I love you, don't forget that", I said.

"I'm just having a breakdown, I guess", he said shakily.

He put his head on my lap and I started playing with his hair. We layed down on his bed properly and just cuddled.

Hey guys!!!

I know Percy is supposed to be tough and silly and just soooo cute, but after two wars don't you think he's overdue for a breakdown? For the next chapters I'll make him tougher and kinda overprotective of Annabeth, but still sweet, loyal, and Percy-like.
