Annabeth 2
Annabeth needed to see Percy, but yet at the same time she didn't want to see
him. Would he still remember her? Would he have a new girlfriend? Her mind was
overrun with questions. When Leo announced that they were at Camp Jupiter she
was ready to throw up. Looking down she saw an entire legion of Romans
assembling in the most beautiful city she'd ever seen. Annabeth saw the
Coliseum, the Senate House, and the Circus Maximus. She found it totally unfair
that Percy got to live for eight months in this amazing Roman town, and all she
got was 8 months filled with anxiety attacks. As Leo landed the trireme in the
Roman forum, she stared at the soldiers that would either kill her, or were
there to stand guard. Not exactly the best trustworthy welcome.
"Well," Leo said, "This is it."
Leo was usually the one to lighten the mood, but now he was just hoping for the
best. He lowered a ramp down to the ground. Jason went first, naturally, but he
was holding Piper's hand the whole way down.
"Finally!", she thought. Those two were gonna have to get together sometime.
I walked down the ramp with Leo trying to act casual. We stood there awkwardly
until a conch horn blew, and the legionnaires stepped aside to form an aisle for
a tall girl to walk down. She was wearing a toga with a purple cloak, and had a
dark, piercing eyes. She strolled down the aisle proud and confident, and
stopped before the four of us.
"Well hello there Jason..." Her voice trailed off when she spotted Jason and
Piper's hands. She quickly looked away.
"Well, I'm Reyna, one of two praetors of the 12th legion. Welcome to Camp
Jupiter."
Nobody spoke. Finally, Jason broke the silence.
"Did you say one of two?" he said.
"Jason, you were gone for eight months, did you not think you would be
replaced?" she asked coldly.
Nobody spoke again. The conch horn blew again. A teenage guy with black hair and
green eyes was strolling down the aisle with a Chinese guy and a girl that she
didn't recognize. They all wore togas, but the tall, black haired one had a
purple cloak like Reyna's. Jason raised his eyebrows as he noticed the three
walking toward them.
"Ah," Reyna said, obviously happy to break the silence,"Here comes my fellow
praetor."
The three demigods had now joined the group. Annabeth's smile was so wide that
her mouth hurt. "There he is," she thought, " And why is he wearing a bedsheet?"
Reyna turned to the Greeks and Jason.
"This is my new partner in praetorship, Percy Jackson."
