Alright, I tried to make the characters more like themselves this time⦠So I hope you see some improvement!

Percy POV:
"PERCY! Percy, Wake up!" Annabeth shook my shoulders.
"One more minute," I grumbled holding my head. I had a headache that hurt like Hades at the moment.
"No, wake up now!" She said, still shaking me.
I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. "What's the big deal?" I asked grumpily. I looked into her grey eyes full of concern.
"Look around Percy," she instructed.
I analyzed my cabin. The pond in the corner was in pieces, with water spilling out of it, making the floor slick. All of the bunks were completely destroyed, along with the windows, the old photos on my wall, and practically everything else in the cabin.
"W-What happened?" I asked in shock.
"You tell me. I was getting you up for breakfast, and then I walked in to see this," she said pointing to the room. "Do you remember anything last night?"
The truth was that I did. I remembered Deimos and Phobos commanding me to give them my soul unless I wanted to see Annabeth, or anyone else get hurt. They probably cause me to do this. I didn't want to worry Annabeth, so I had to lie.
"I just went back to my cabin and instantly fell asleep," I shrugged.
Annabeth gave me a you're so helpless look. "Uh-huh. And you didn't hear anything last night? You slept right through it?" She crossed her arms.
"That would be correct."
Annabeth gave me a long stare, where she was probably examining my expression to see if I was lying. I hoped that she wouldn't figure it out. "I know something is up, Seaweed Brain, but in the meantime we should go tell Chiron about this incident. Get dressed and meet me at the Big House."
I nodded.
As Annabeth was walking out she turned back and said, "I'm keeping a close eye on you, Seaweed Brain." And left my cabin.
I let out a sigh of relief. "That was close," I mumbled to myself. I started to get dressed. I couldn't help but wonder how I destroyed my own cabin, without remembering it. I knew that I could go under Phobos and Deimos's spell at any moment, and that worried me. What if I have an episode in front of someone? What if I burn down the whole camp?
I tried to get those thoughts out of my mind. I started to walk over to the Big House, with Annabeth and Chiron waiting on the porch.
"Annabeth has told me that your whole cabin is destroyed. Do you know anything about what happened last night?" Chiron asked.
I had to tell Chiron. If anyone would know what to do, it would be him. I eyed Annabeth, giving Chiron the hint that I wanted to be alone with him.
Chiron nodded in understanding. "Why don't we have this conversation in private?"
"Wait, why can't I be included?" Annabeth asked.
"Dear, this is something that I must talk to Percy about alone."
Annabeth sighed. "Very well. But you better tell me everything afterwards, Seaweed Brain. I know you're hiding something. You can't fool a daughter of Athena."
She gave me a death glare. I gulped. I hated her glares. Monsters never seemed to scare me, but when she gives me that look, it urges me to run towards the hills.
When Chiron and I were alone, I told him how Phobos and Deimos visited me last night. I told him how they were tired about being minor gods, and that Kronos gave them a better deal.
"And what did they want from you?" he asked.
"My soul," I said quietly.
"And did you give it to them?"
"Well they said that they would harm my friends and family, if I didn't cooperate."
Chiron sighed. "So they possessed you?"
"I believe so. I don't remember doing any construction to my cabin. I just remember their visit, and then their spirits entered my soul."
"And then what?" Chiron pressed.
"I blacked out."
"I have taught heroes for thousands of years, but have never heard of something like this," Chiron admitted sadly. "But what I can infer is that Phobos and Deimos can take over your body at any time, and control every one of your actions."
"What should we do?" I asked.
"First, we must alert the gods. They must know that one of their fellow brethren are traitors. But you, my boy, I don't know what to do with. I need consent from the gods, first." I sighed. "So basically they are going to order my death?"
"You are the hero that saved Olympus and the era of the gods. I don't believe that they will execute you." "So, when should we head to Olympus?" I asked.
"Immediately."
This was a very baaaad chapter. No matter how much I tried I couldn't make it right. Idk. Writer's block I guess. So tell me what you think, and again, all suggestions welcome! I am having writer's block!
