DD,

Today Annabeth is hanging out with that Jackson again! WTH…hope I could think of some way to break it. Oh, haven't our mother showed us how stupid love is? Ok, maybe except the time they had with our dads.

And my pledge, I guess you know, every day.

I will not let them get together,

No matter it is for now or ever.

For this kind of amazing fantasy,

Will always end with agony.

I'll stop my darling Annabeth,

To fall in a deadly trap beneath.

I heaved a big sigh, looking out from my window. Why in Hades Annabeth has to make herself in trouble? Look at her, skipping back to our cabin, talking about her stupid seaweed brain.

I know, I'm, maybe a bit too protective. But this is Annabeth! I mean, my Annabeth! How could he…he doesn't deserve…Argh!

"Malcolm, will you just SHUT UP for a millisecond?" Annabeth yelled.

Unless my ears deceived me (which I tend to think not) I just heard her say shut up. What, foul language is included in the Percy Jackson Package too?

"Well," I said, trying to control my temper. "I'm your elder brother, so apparently I'm entitled to know what is going on in my sister's life—"

"What in the name of Poseidon is your problem? Are you jealous or what?"

And those words got on my nerves. Not the Poseidon part. The jealous-y part.

"Jealous?" I exploded. "JEALOUS? Just because I'm practically the only person without a relationship, I'm jealous? Gee, you should take a look at your darling dear Percy, then let's see who should be envious for what a free life I have!"

The pain that flashed through her face caused me to regret it as soon as I said that. Her grey eyes filled with tears and she stormed out. Anyway, maybe she would think of what I said, and hopefully, ditch the awful Jackson boy.

I sat down on the edge of my bunk, thinking about the two of them. And I found Annabeth was right.

I was jealous.

How come they do those things? Why they can laugh at each other, go anywhere and everywhere with each other? It's just not logic-explainable! Why they could still be friends, understanding and caring, even after they had a fight?

(After 10 minutes of some serious Athena thinking…)

Ok. I get it. I know the answer now to my questions. At least, I think I know.

Because they're…in love! Right? Am I right?

Just when I'm mulling over my newly-found theory, the door slowly creaked open.

"Malcolm?" It was Elaine. (If you don't know who Elaine is, check out my other story: Annabeth goes to Asia, chapter 1) You…might want to check out on Annabeth.

"Why?"

"She's crying near the— I mean, you should go to see her before anything happens.

"And Malcolm, do you know what happened to her? The way she cried and talked…was like somebody just tried to kill her." She said, eyeing me suspiciously.

"I didn't do anything wrong, for your reference. I merely told her to get away from a relationship which could cause her great sadness. And no, I am not going to check out anyone, as you put it. Especially Annabeth."

"You WHAT?" Elaine gasped. "You told her to get away from Percy?"

"Well, yes in a sort of way." I replied.

"Di immortales! What have you done!" She was freaking out now.

"Huh?"

But before I could say anything, she sprinted in the direction of the arena.

What? Why you're looking at me like that? I'm only telling her…ah, forget about it.

All I know is, I've got to break this pair once and for all, the sooner the better. You see, we Athena kids tend to think far. Things that could happen ten years later, will just pop into our brain.

And I don't want Percy Jackson as my brother-in-law.

A/N: Sorry to for the long wait. Oh, don't ask me why Malcolm is OOC. We never know what his real character is—Rick doesn't mention about him much. Btw, check out my poll in my profile. Chose the ending you guys want!
