A couple years after the war, this is the first book of many about the Jackson's. But in this first book we find out how it all starts.
Percy has loved Annabeth for years now, and has decided to make his move, but what will Annabeth think of this? W...
Chapter 19 - Weird Trouble Really Does Follow The Jackson's
Annabeth's POV-
After we got our photos taken we headed to the big white tent where the reception was being held. We sat at a nice big table with a peach silky table cloth. At our table say Percy and I, Grover, Thalia, Hazel, Sally, Paul, Estelle, my dad, Helen, Matthew, and Bobby.
Then at tables 2 and 5 sat the gods, tables 3 and 4 had close friends and tables 6 and up sat other campers.

Before eating Grover and Thalia were going to make speeches. Grover went first,
"I've know Percy and Annabeth since they met, when they were 12. It's been a long road but a fun and happy one too. Sometimes they didn't always see eye to eye but they were a great team, and they will forever like when they move in together, when it's Percy's job to cook, Annabeth will have to go from room to room taking out all the batteries from the smoke alarms in other apartments." Everyone there laughed even I did. "Percy is really the best friend I've ever had. He's done so many things that it would be difficult to name them all, and Annabeth, damn girl, I was hoping to be the best looking person in the room today but obviously I failed miserably. You look beautiful. I'm so happy for the two of you, and I know you will make each other happy for the rest of your lives." Everyone applauded Grover as he sat back down.
Then Thalia stood up and started her speech,
"Good evening everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely evening and I'd like to thank you all for coming and celebrating with us tonight. I'd like to take a few moments to talk to you about my best friends, Annabeth and Percy. Annabeth's been my best friend since Luke and I found her in a alleyway in Virginia. I remember how we used to mess around and travel the country. Annabeth is one of the most loving, caring and kind people I've ever met. She has a fantastic sense of humor and a sharp wit. Though, I couldn't be happier to honor my best friend on her wedding day. I wish you two all the love and happiness in the world. How blessed you are to celebrate your love on this beautiful day. I know there are many happy years of love and joy ahead for you. Let's all raise our glasses to the bride and groom, and wish them a lifetime of love and joy! Congratulations Annabeth and Percy, I wish you infinite years of happiness."
Thalia's speech was so beautiful I started to get a bit teary eyed as everyone clapped and I hugged my forever friend, Thalia.
After the speeches, and everyone finished eating the festivities started. Apollo played music, like the type on Olympus where everyone heard different songs, and tempos. For me, I heard Someone You Loved By Lewis Capaldi slowed down, then You Are The Reason By Calum Scott.
Then something happened, and everyone stopped to listen and look...
Green mist poured from Rachel's mouth and eyes as she started to say a new prophecy, "Ten children of demigods, Become Emmortals against all odds, Each to posses a different curse, That gives them powers for worse, The two strongest will fight and maintain, To honor their parents and to gain, The long battle against the tall, And lose who matters most of all." And with those last few words Rachel dizzily sat down with a shocked expression as Will rushed over to make sure she was alright. "I-I saw something..." Rachel said, she looked into my eyes with a sorrow expression then everything went black.
