DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS. BUT YOU KNEW THAT, RIGHT?
Still Annabeth's Point of View
Oh. My. Gods. What did I get myself into? I mean, sure, I wasn't opposed to the idea, but it would look weird.
"No backing down," Silena reminded me. I think that her secret intentions had revealed themselves.
Travis and Connor wolf whistled.
"Shut up," Percy told them. He looked as scared as I did.
"Go on," Silena said.
I slowly stood up and sat back down on top of Percy. We've been closer before, like on quests and stuff, but this was different. Weird, different. I knew that he would never do that if he wasn't dared. And I couldn't turn around to see how he was reacting. That would be weird.
I crossed my arms and tried to act like I was going through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life, but truth be told, I wasn't minding it as much. But no one but me was ever going to know that.
"Okay, Annabeth. Your turn." I glared daggers at Silena.
"Um," I looked around for someone to dare. "I pick … um … Thalia."
"Dare." She didn't hesitate for a second.
I already had one picked out. "You have to go to the pier and jump in." For most demigods, this was no big deal. For most people it was no big deal. But since Thalia was Zeus's daughter …
I couldn't tell if she was going to back down. But she probably wasn't. The entire Amphitheater was going to watch this. She waited for everyone to join her, and then she dived in.
"Whoa there, Annabeth. You know the rules. On Percy's lap," Silena said. I'd hoped that she would miss that.
Percy reluctantly sat down on the edge of the pier. I reluctantly sat down on top of him.
"Sorry about this," I whispered back to him.
"It's not your fault. It's Silena's." I felt him turn around and look at Silena.
I kept waiting for Thalia to come back up. But it didn't happen.
"Percy, shouldn't Thalia be up by now?" I asked.
I felt Percy nod behind me.
"Get up," he told me. I did.
"I'm going in after her," he told everyone. But while he was turned around, one of the floor boards cracked off, sending me under.
My first thought was to get up for air. But that wasn't happening. Something pulled me into a huge jar like the kind you would catch fireflies in when you would go camping as a little kid. No water got in, luckily. I looked around me, but no captors were present.
"Help!" I squeaked, but no one could hear me from the jar and water. Hopefully Percy was already on his way down.
A/N: I decided to make this more than just a Truth or Dare story.
