Hades Daughter

Chapter Seven: Annabeth

   Ever since Melione came or shall I say fell from the sky, I have had this funny feeling about her. Is it jealousy? Or is it suspicion? I'm starting to wonder if we should even go on this quest... What if she's trying to get us all killed? But of course Percy would still go seeing that he is so brave and cute when he is brave. Oh my gods Annabeth stop thinking like this get it all out of your head. I need to stay focused on whatever it is you're going to find out!
   The sunrise dashes through my window almost blinding, immediately someone knocks at the door "Coming!" I yell I being to put my clothes on and then I hear another knock "I'm coming!" I yell again.
   I finish getting ready and come to see who's at the door. I opened it and I see Percy standing there. His sea green eyes sparkling like gems in the morning sun. His jet black hair looks like he just ran through a hurricane. His backpack slung over his back. Gods of Olympus his so cute!
   "What's up seaweed brain?" I ask. I have been giving him that nickname ever since Poseidon claimed him.
   "Are you ready to go?" He asks. Why does he seem so happy?
   "Yeah. Are you?" I say giggling. I get my backpack and we head out the door.
   "I'm glad to go on a quest where we can stay up here, and not down in the labyrinth." Percy says, looking into the forest with a worried look on his face.
   "Don't worry seaweed brain." I say, slipping my hand into his. "We will get through this." I say.
   "Yeah you're right Annabeth." He says with an evil grin on his face.
   "What's with the evil grin?" I say, stop in my tracks. "Tell me!"
   "Ok, I've made it my mission to think of a nickname for you." He says, looking into my eyes.
   "Ok you can only try, cause I can only promise this, you will NEVER find a nickname for me" I giggle as I kiss him. "Let's go meet the others, shall we?" I say.
   "Yeah, lets."
We meet the others on the hill. I looked back at the camp and smile. It's gonna be a while until I see this place again.
We walked around for about two hours before encountering our first monster, but the strangest thing? It hesitated to attack. We would've been squashed if it weren't for Melione.
As it came closer, she started speaking in a forum langue. She obviously studied a different language whilst down in the underworld, cause, after she spoke to it, the monster turned into a pile of yellow dust.
"There we go. Now, let's set up camp here, shall we?" She says.
"I agree." Nico says. "Percy and Melione, why don't you guys get some firewood?"
"Sure. Let's go salty." Melione says. Salty? My gods of Olympus. What was she talking about? Is that her nickname for him? Was she trying to enrage me? No. Annabeth, stop thinking like that.
