A Twisting Tail

Annabeth's Idea

Annabeth woke early the next morning and yawned.Getting up early was not her thing.Anyone who suggested it was would probably get smacked.And that was before she got angry.

She remember clearly the night before...the silver pool of water,the passage way out,the boat mysterious working again as if it has been refuelled...Annabeth shook her head to clear it.It had to have been a dream.

Suddenly Annabeth's phone rang.She answered to an upset Hazel.“Annabeth,the docks.Hurry."

“Why?"

“Just come!"

Annabeth threw on a plaid button up shirt and some jeans,grabbed her backpack,and ran out the door.

She reached the dog,gasping for breath.“What...was so...important?"

Piper was pacing back and forth on the dock.Hazel looked panicked.“You haven't got wet this morning at all,right?"

To Annabeth that seemed like a dumb question,but Hazel looked thoroughly upset,so Annabeth answered.“No."

“We're going back to Olym."She said.

Annabeth's jaw dropped.“Why?"

Piper stopped her pacing.She looked as distraught as Hazel.“We have to,because Hazel and I-"

“Hey,if it isn't the girls who stole my boat?"Annabeth clenched her fists as she turned around.Jason Grace stood behind her with another boy behind him that Annabeth didn't know.

“We didn't steal it,Grace."She said defiently.

The boy behind him smirked.His hair was jet black and his eyes deep,sea-green.“Then how come it has his name on it?"

Annabeth inspected the boat,which was docked near where Hazel was standing.“It doesn't."She said,smiling.She had won.

Jason glared.“It's on the other side,stupid."

Annabeth walked around to see the other side of the speedboat,and sure enough,JASON was painted in neat letters.

Hazel laughed.“That doesn't change that you gave me the boat,Jason."

“I didn't think you'd actually get it to work!"Jason protested,as if that somehow gave him back his boat.

The sea-green eyed boy snorted.“Yeah,it's only yours if it doesn't work.Give Jason the boat."

“Percy,you're an idiot."Piper muttered.“Jason doesn't own everything he says he does."Percy,the sea-green eyed boy,glared at Piper.“Hazel owns the boat.He told her so.It belongs to us."

Jason rolled his eyes.“Let them have the stupid boat."He growled.“I can get a new one anyway."

Annabeth sighed.“Jason Grace is a pig."

“Honestly,"Piper agreed.

Hazel laughed.“I truly wonder why Percy follows him like he's a king or something.Jason,a king?Most likely that country would fall after the first day."

“First hour."Annabeth said.

Hazel sighed.She rolled her eyes.“Anyway,get in the boat."

Annabeth shrugged and hopped in.Again she would drive,so she climbed in first,before Hazel and Piper.
