Now
Annabeth was frozen. She couldn't move, couldn't scream. She was trapped in that moment. All she could think of was how Percy's blood stained her silver dress. How lifeless his body looked. His beautiful sea green eyes now a pale gray.
"Annabeth. Annabeth Chase?" A voice asked.
Annabeth turned to see the police watching her.
"We have some questions." He said.
They gave Annabeth time to change, however they wanted her dress in a bag. They thought it might be evidence. After that she simply went through the motions. She followed the police to the police station.
She was too traumatized to ask for a lawyer.
"Annabeth I would like to ask you some questions. Is that okay?"
Annabeth felt like she didn't have a choice in the matter. She nodded slowly.
"Were you close to the victim?" She asked.
Annabeth frowned. Their relationship was complicated. She could barely understand it herself.
"We were close friends." Annabeth said.
The Detective raised an eyebrow. "Our sources say you may have been more than friends."
Annabeth sighed. "We weren't officially dating but there is a chance we could have been in the future."
"Why was the victim's blood on you?" They asked.
Annabeth frowned. She was a suspect.
"I found him like that." Annabeth said.
"How long have you know the victim?" She asked.
Three Months Ago
"Get out three new kids?" Piper said.
Annabeth, Thalia, Piper, and Rachel sat in circle outside of school. The girls picked their usual spot that was hidden from the teachers but easy enough for other students to see.
Rachel thought it was important that others could see the girls talking. They were they hottest, richest, and most popular girls in school.
Annabeth thought the whole concept of popularity was stupid. Who decided who got to be popular? Popular kids were like gods, they mean nothing if you don't give them power.
"Well did you hear about that old school that burned down, the one in Long Island?" Rachel said.
The other nodded. "Everyone west of that old summer camp is districted for our school. So the county is paying for them to go here."
"They get to go here for free? My dad has been sending this place fancy checks for months." Piper shrugged.
"Piper not everyone's dad is a movie star." Annabeth chuckled.
Annabeth herself was the daughter of a lawyer and a professor. Piper shrugged blushed. Even at Riordan Prep she still felt like an outcast.
"Don't worry, my mom's a TV star, so I can relate." Thalia said comfortingly.
Piper smiled. She was about to thank the girl when Rachel gasped loudly. Everyone followed her gaze to three figures walking towards the school.
"Get out, look how hot the black haired boy is." Rachel said.
Piper raised an eyebrow. "The Mexican one that looks like an elf?"
Rachel shook her head. "I'm talking about the hunk in the middle."
The girls looked at the boy. He had pale skin and dark black hair, and his eyes were a beautiful shade of green. Rachel was right, he was hot. Almost as hot as the college boy Annabeth had a crush on.
"Let's introduce ourselves." Rachel smiled.
Thalia raised an eyebrow. "Why do I have to get up just so you can flirt with some new kid?"
Rachel rolled her eyes. "What part of hot boy did you not understand?"
Thalia chuckled and got up, the other two girls followed them. The trio seemed lost. Annabeth didn't blame them, it was a big school and to kids of their upbringing probably felt like a different planet.
"Hello, I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare, pleasure to make your acquaintance." Rachel smiled.
She held her hand out for the boy to take. He smirked before shaking it.
"Perseus Jackson, but my friends call me Percy." Percy said.
Piper stepped forward. "Piper McLean, nice to meet you."
"The name is Thalia Grace." Thalia smirked.
Percy turned to Annabeth. He smiled softly. "What's your name?"
Annabeth didn't know why but she couldn't help but blush. She immediately hated herself for doing so. She wouldn't be one of those cliche teenage girls that got flustered over the first cute guy she saw. She was an intellectual.
"Annabeth Chase." She said.
He smiled. "Pretty name."
"Don't worry you won't say it a lot." Annabeth smirked.
Percy smiled. "And why's that?"
"Because after my friend Rachel sleeps with you I'll probably never see you again." Annabeth said.
Thalia and Piper's eyes widened with shock, while Rachel's face matched the color of her hair. She turned and glared at the girl. However Percy and his friends burst out into laughter.
Percy smiled. "I do hope I see more of you."
"Are all the girls at this school as funny and as pretty as you?" The Latino boy smirked.
Percy's other friend, a short black girl with hair the color of cinnamon smacked him on the back of his head.
"Sorry for Leo's behavior, I'm Hazel by the way." She said with a smile.
Annabeth smiled. "Well welcome to Jupiter High."
The first bell rung, indicating it was time to get to class. Rachel looped her arm under Percy's.
"I'll show you to your class." She said with a flirtatious smirk.
Rachel led Percy and the other two away, however before they disappeared Percy turned and winked at Annabeth before turning back to Rachel.
Now
"So was that the first time you met the victim?" The Detective asked.
Annabeth nodded slowly.
"And was this also the first time he met his girlfriend Rachel Elizabeth Dare?" The Detective asked.
Annabeth paused before nodding. The Detective glared at Annabeth.
"What was your relationship with Rachel Dare?" The Detective asked.
Annabeth gulped before looking up at Detective.
"I would like to speak to my lawyer." Annabeth said.
I hoped you guys liked the first chapter of my story. Each chapter will be told from a suspect in the past and the present. This is obviously an AU, and there will be times that the characters may act a little OOC, however I'll try to keep them as close to their original counterparts as possible,
