Chapter 2- Captain Perseus

Annabeth's POV

I woke up in a dark room. My head was pounding and my vision was blurry. Ropes were burning my wrist and ankles as I tasted the bad flavor of the gag in my mouth. My eyes wandered around the room, which looked like it was meant for a girl. There was a lowboy at the corner of the room and a bed beside it. I noticed that the mirror was fragmented. The glass was shattered on the floor. I made my way towards the pieces and began the set myself free. I opened the door found myself face to face with Captain Perseus.

By the way a "lowboy" is what we call a vanity mirror today.

"I'm still one step ahead of you," he said.

"Not anymore," I replied. I remembered what my brother had taught me so I attempted to throw him off guard. But he grabbed me before I could even get to him. I cursed under my breath.

"Not bad for a princess."

"Put me down," I ordered.

He ignored me and said,"I will have you know that I do no take any orders from you, even if you're a royal. My ship. My rules." and he proceeded to carried me up to the deck as if I was a potato sack.

I pounded on his back and demanded he let me down. At the front of the ship, he finally let go of me and dropped me onto the floor.

Bastard.

In the moonlight, I was finally able to see his face. He was tall and muscular with jet black hair. He had gorgeous sea-green eyes and seemed to be around my age. I could tell he had suffered in the past but learned to show no sign of weakness or emotion. He looked out into the ocean as i was distracted by his looks.

Then he turned to me, and I kept my gaze. Something about him made me want to know more.

"Who are you," I inquired.

"The captain of this ship," he answered sarcastically, his smile was breathtaking but i could tell he was hiding something.

I glared at him which only made him laugh."You know what i mean," I responded.

"Do I?"

I rolled my eyes, "You are impossible."

His smile quickly faded as I heard footsteps. A girl..

"Captain Perseus..It seems that our prisoner has esca-," The girl had dark hair and piercing brown eyes. Her face looked pale and showed no expression. Her confidence scared me as if she was capable of killing anything that stands in her way.

"Reyna, you can return to your post, I have her under control."

Her eyes turned to me as she nodded and went back to where she was needed.

"So you're the Perseus Jackson. The one who had lied to my father."

He rolled his eyes and muttered,"He even brainwashes his children".

"What are you talking about?"

"He never fulfilled his end of the bargain."

"And you expect me to believe you?"

"No, I don't, but I don't need you to either."

Percy's POV

-FLASHBACK-

I walked into the throne room of His Majesty. King Frederick. I was eager to gain the treasures he offered after i finished my task of finding the island that I had claimed for him.

"Your highness," I bowed," I have found the location of The Island." I handed one of his servants the map. I continued," Now if you would give me the reward?"

He laughed,"Did you really think I would make a bargain with a lowly pirate like you? You there, hand me the map."

A man stepped forward and handed him the paper. he looked through it and kept it in his hand.

I was furious," I got you what you wanted. It's your turn to seal the deal. How is it possible that a lowly pirate has more ethics than a king?"

As the king got up from his throne he yelled, "Guards seize him!"

I couldn't believe what was going on. I quickly looked at my surroundings and found a window. It would be risky but i had to try. I jumped out and ran along the roof of the palace, eventually, I was trapped and the guards caught up to me. There was nowhere to run. They locked me up.

After a few hours of mockery and imprisonment, I heard footsteps coming towards my cell.

Great, they're back, I thought. I was proven to be wrong, it was my mates.

With one look at my bruises Leo whispered,"Ooh that looks bad… umm stay here we're going to get you out."

"Does it look like I have anywhere else to go?"

He scratched his head and made a weird face,"Oh, I knew that."

It wasn't long before I left the palace. I needed to seek revenge.

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

I clenched my fist as the memory returned to me

"So where are we going?", she asked.

"You'll find out"

"Are you going to answer any of my questions?"

Before i could answer, I was interrupted.

Leo shouted,"Hey captain come over here, you need to see this."

I looked at her,"You're coming with me, after all, princesses need their entourage." I picked her up bridal style and walked towards Leo.

"I can walk you know," she grumbled.

Leo laughed,"So I see you two have been getting close, what's next, friendship bracelets?"

We both glared at him. I dropped her.

"What the hell?!" she said.

I ignored her.

So why did you call me here?

Leo pointed across the sea. "See for yourself Captain"

Ahead of us, I could see an island.

" Tell everyone to gather all the supplies, we're going to disembark."

"Aye aye mister captain sir."

Annabeth's POV

The sun was rising and a noticed his jet-black hair flew in the wind, in the new lighting, his facial features became more visible. Slim jaw, his stunning sea-green eyes full of excitement. For a moment, I forgot who he was.

I realized I was staring when he looked back at me.

He smirked and asked,"Enjoying the view?"

I felt my face burn up as I looked away. I heard him let out a small laugh.

What was wrong with me?, I thought.

I was interrupted when the ship hit the island.

"We're here," he breathed.
