Disclaimer: Course I don't own Percy, Annabeth, Chiron or Clarisse. I do happily own Marco and Calvin, Sherri, and Molli.

PERCY P.O.V.

The shield unfolded just in time to catch Clarisse's spear, causing it to send a jolt of electricity through my shield and up my arm. A uncapped Riptide and charged her. I was alone, guarding our flag. I used a few simple moves and quickly overpowered Clarisse. I watched her fall to the ground. I took her spear threw it in the creek. I ran back to the flag, putting my foot out right in front of it. Sure enough, it worked. the flag was knocked to ground on impact. Annabeth uncapped her Yankees cap and scowled at me. I just grinned at her. She took her knife out in a feeble attempt to stop me. I just swiped Riptide, knocking it out of her hand. She cursed under her breath and tried to run away, but she ended up tripping over a branch, and falling head first into the creek, so she was sitting in the creek, spitting out water and dirt, soaking wet, in water up to her waist. She cursed at me, using a few colorful words and the occasional, "Seaweed Brain." Then she looked up at me and said, "Help me up?" I walked up to her and pulled her up, as she brought me down. Of course, being the son of Poseidon, I stayed completely dry. She sighed. "Can you EVER get wet?" She asked.

"Yeah, I can." I replied, and willed the water to soak me. It did, and Annabeth grinned. "S'bout time!" She called to some unknown person behind me. I whipped my head around and saw Sherri and Molli, twins from the Hermes cabin, carrying the flag down the hill to their side of the border. I had been tricked. And I wasn't about to let them get away with it. I felt a tug in my gut and then suddenly, a massive wave of water hurtled over me and Annabeth and collapsed on top of the twins. They dropped the flag and were swept away by the current, over the border, and were dropped under an oak tree. They both had the same expression on their faces, a kind of scary scowl, and at the same time, they got up and walked away. Annabeth grumbled some more at me and my team came cheering and clapping over our border with the other teams' flag. I cheered them on, as Annabeth stood openmouthed at them.

"How....? What....? Huh?!?!?!" She said. I just ignored her and joined my team and cheered some more.

ANNABETH P.O.V.

After Percy's team won capture the flag, I couldn't bring myself to believe that I saw him on their team. He was someone I used to be friends with, but i had met both his parents, and they were most definetley his. No way could he be a demi-god. It just wasn't possible. But here he was, carrying the team Hermes flag. He probably wasn't a Hermes kid anyways, he didn't have their sharp features and secretive eyes like everyone else in the cabin. Marco had brownish hair, clear blue eyes, and a round nose. He sat with the Hermes kids, lived with them, and played on their team, but yet undecided. I was completely confused about it. Completely.

Flashback:

"Hey, Annabeth, come here I have to tell you something. I ran over, passing the other kids, who were mostly sitting around enjoying the last day of 6th Grade. "Comin' Marco." I called. I joined him at the swings, and asked him what he wanted to tell me.

"It's really important Annabeth," Marco said.

"Go on!" I urged him.

"Well, I really like you Annabeth" He blurted out,"A lot, Ever since I first met you. I.... I.... I love you Annabeth."

And, of course, brilliantly, I sat there, dumbfounded, with my mouth hanging open, and I geniously said,"Whaaaaaat?"

"I love you." He repeated.

Then, I had a rush of memories, him looking at me, staring at me playing soccer one afternoon.

"Do you love me?" He asked.

I stared at him for a little longer, with my head tilted, and looked him straight in the eye.

"No." I finally said. "I'm sorry."

He stared at me dejectedly, then nodded. "I understand." The bell rang then, and I ran inside, not looking back.

The rest of the day, I avoided Marco, and when the Camp Half-blood van came to pick me up, Marco tried to talk to me.

"Annabeth, Goodbye." He said.

"Later!" I tried to act cheery. And failed.

"Don't pretend. And why in the world are you leaving school in the Delphi Strawberry van?"

"Ummm, my mom works there." I lied.

"Whatever. Maybe I'll see you later?"

"Maybe." I lied again. I knew I probably would never see him again.

"Bye." He said.

"Bye." I called over my shoulder as I got into the van.

"Wait!" He called.

I got back out of the van and said, "What?"

He didn't respond, he just wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I pulled away almost immidietley.

"Wha?"

"I really like you Annabeth." He said.

End of Flashback

"Annabeth! Come on! You're gonna be late to dinner!" My brother, Calvin, knocked me out of my reverie. I shook my head, but couldn't clear the memory of that afternoon. I followed him to the Big House for dinner, and ate in silence, while my brothers and sisters chatted about todays game of Capture the Flag. I tried to join in, but I just faded out again and again and again.....

When I was jolted back into reality, All my friends were staring at me, their plates and glasses gone. Half of them were standing up. The other half were already gone. I was the only one sitting down, and the only one in the entire room with a plate. I took my plate and put it away, and on my way back, a hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Annabeth? Is that you?" Marco asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, it is." I said, turning around to meet his gaze.

"Who's your parent?"

"Athena. Now please go away, I have to go back to my cabin."

"My dad's Ares, I was just claimed a few minutes ago." He said.

"Have fun with Clarisse!" I mumbled and ran to join my siblings.

Chapter Two.

Percy's P.O.V.

As I was trudging toward my lonely cabin, I saw Annabeth storm out of the Big House and start running. She streaked past her siblings and run toward the beach. I saw her stumble, and fall onto the sand, and start crying. I wanted to go comfort her, but I thought it would be better to leave her alone. I felt a tug in my gut, and a wave of water washed over her, forming a bubble around her. I stood there, concentrating on not letting the water fall on her, and waited for her to calm down.

Annabeth's P.O.V.

As I ran out of the Big House, I found myself streaking past my siblings, I ran blindly, passing the cabins, until I found myself at my favorite place, the beach. I sat with my head between my knees, and cried, I cried for I dont know how long and when I finally looked up, I saw I was in a huge, clear, bubble. I smiled to myself. Thanks Seaweed Brain. I thought to myself. I sat there for a while, gazing in wonder around me. I had no idea how he could possibly do this. But I didn't care. I just thought about random things, until I allowed myself to think about Marco. I knew I didn't like him. But, how could his dad be Ares? Marco just wasn't violent. He wouldn't hurt a fly.... Would he? It was too complicating. I stood up, and braced myself to get soaked. I walked through the shell of the bubble, and as I walked away, I heard the bubble fall to the ground, and slink back to the ocean. I could almost hear Percy's sigh as he dropped the pressure. I silently thanked him as I walked towards my cabin. I walked under the huge silver owl and fell onto my bunk. Ten seconds later, I was knocked out cold.

Percy's P.O.V.

After I watched Annabeth leave the bubble, I dropped the bubble, and fell to the ground gasping. I had never held any amount of water that long. I felt like I had just held up the sky, and trust me, I know how that feels. I have the silver hair streak to prove it. I just couldn't breathe! I gasped and gasped until I finally had enough energy-barely-to stumble back to my cabin. I gasped for air as I fell into my bed. And soon, i was asleep, Exhausted.

Annabeth's P.O.V.

When I woke up, I silently got dressed and slipped out of the room. I went to the fields and just walked. I saw a few Dionysus kids walking, but they steered clear of me. I walked and walked, until I went out the other side. I was stunned. I had never walked the entire fields before. They were like, seventeen miles! I must be really upset. I looked around at the first and probably last time I would ever see the other side of the fields. I walked back, slowly, to the camp, and I made it in time for lunch. I walked into the Big House and joked around with my friends. Then, I glanced toward the Poseidon table, and saw it was empty. I wondered where Percy went. I shrugged off the feeling of dread and joined the conversation again.

Percy's P.O.V.

Percy is not here at the moment, please leave a message after the beep. BEEP.

Annabeth's P.O.V.

At dinner, I glanced back at the Poseidon table. Empty. Again. I decided to go to his cabin and see what happened. I excused myself from the table and snuck outside. I ran to the cabins, and walked up to the Poseidon one. I put my ear to the door and heard nothing. I quietly opened the door and almost shrieked. Percy was in his bed, and he looked horrible. He was unconscious, but he wasn't sleeping. He was incredibly pale, and he looked like he was in excrutiating pain. I dropped next to him and placed a hand on his forehead. He was burning. I knew I needed to find Chiron, but I didn't want to leave him. I crouched there next to him for a looooong time, until I finally got up and ran as fast as I could to find Chiron. I found him at the Big House, chatting with a group of Aphrodite kids. I literally dragged him away and he was obviously annoyed.

"Annabeth, may I ask why you dragged me away from them? I hope It's important."

"Chiron, It is. Percy is sick. REALLY sick. He didn't come to lunch or dinner and I went into his cabin and he just looks dead, but he's not. Help please!" I begged.

Chiron looked at me weirdly. He called for the nurse and he put me on his back. I knew I should be gaping or in shock. He never lets anyone ride him. He galloped to the Poseidon cabin and barged in. Percy looked the same as when I saw him before. I hopped off Chiron and ran toward Percy. Chiron followed. He looked at him and looked confused. The nurse came barging in, a woman in her twenties who i knew as a daughter of Hygiea, goddess of Health, and went straight to Percy. She shoved me away and immiedietly went to work. She took his temperature, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and took the blankets off. She did some things and soon she stood up.

"To be honest, I don't know what's wrong with him. He looks incredibly tired and weak, and sick. REALLY sick. I-"

She was interuppted by Percy coughing violently in his sleep and shake, as if he were falling.

"Anyway," The nurse continued, "Just let him sleep, if, er, when he wakes up... call me and I'll be here quick as a wink." She concluded. Even though I knew she had been serving Camp Half-Blood for long before even I came here, I couldn't help thinking she knew something that she wasn't telling me about.

Percy's P.O.V.

I was in a cavern, but it was almost pitch black, dimly lit by the embers of torches. I heard voices down the hall. I walked toward them, and when I got there, I couldn't believe my eyes. Marco, the new kid, was there too.

"Sire, I may need more time to kill him, he's growing stronger." Marco said.

"How?" A booming voice asked.

"He held a bubble around a girl for an hour! It's going to be difficult to kill him." Marco replied.

I heard sniffing, and then footsteps. I crouched behind a massive stalagmite, and sure enough, Kronos, the King Titan himself appeared. He sniffed some more and walked toward me.

"There's no room for Demi-gods here!" He boomed and lifted his hand.

"Sir, what about me?" Marco asked. "My dad's-"

"DON'T SAY HIS NAME HERE!" Kronos screamed. "IT WILL SUMMON HIM AND OUR PLANS SHALL BE RUINED! Luke has already failed me. Don't follow in his footsteps." He warned, then continued to slam his hands down on top of me. He would have succeded, but I woke up just then.

Annabeth's P.O.V.

"Percy!!!!!!" I screamed. "You're awake!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Yeah." He coughed some more. Then fell back asleep.

Percy's P.O.V.

I woke up from the vivid dream to see Annabeth standing over me. She shrieked my name and I managed to answer her before I fell asleep again. I felt horrible, my throat felt thick, and I felt stiff and tired and I still couldn't breathe right. That bubble must've taken a lot out of me. I think Annabeth said something else, but I didn't hear her. I'm surprised I managed to even say something something simple like "Yeah." I honestly am so tired.

"Annabeth...." I gurgled (I think) before I fell back asleep. I need to tell her....

And I was knocked out again.

I thought this would be a good place to stop, I have more ready, but I'm making you wait! MWAHAHA! i'm evil! anyway... R&R!
