Killing two lovebirds with one Drew: Chapter 3!
Previously:
No. It couldn't be. She could be that evil, could she?
Lacy noticed the change in my facial expression. "What?" she whispered like she was scared to know what I realized.
"Did Drew match up Percy and Annabeth?" I asked hoarsely.
She nodded, asking me to go on.
It played in my head again. "We match up cute couples at camp! Then we break them apart and start over! It's the best fun ever."
"I think she's going to break them up."
Piper's POV:
"Well what should we do? We can't just let her break them up!"
"Shh, she might hear you! I'm not exactly sure if we should interfere. I mean, if their relationship is really as strong as it seems, then they are made for each other and nothing that Drew could do and break them apart," I half-whispered.
Lacy shook her head."It just doesn't make any sense. Why would she want to break them up when she knows that Percabeth is Mom's favorite couple?"
I shrugged. Who knew what went on in that girl's head?
"I'm pretty sure there is more to it than just breaking them up." Lacy gave me a confused expression. "I mean, you said that it didn't make any sense why she was breaking them up, right? Well, what if she wants to do something else, but breaking them up was just the first step?"
At first Lacy just became more bewildered, but then she tilted her head to the side, processing what I was saying. "Well, what do you think she is doing?"
"I don't know, but we need to figure it out before something horrible happens."
Drew's POV:
I couldn't decide how to break them up. Of course, if I couldn't come up with a fantastic breakup plan, then I would just have to go with the boring Plan B: Charmspeak Percy into breaking up with Annabeth.
I'd never come across a problem like this before. It was like their relationship was Drew-proof.
I could hear those idiots discussing my plan behind the tree. Did they really think I didn't hear them?
I listened for a while to see if they had gotten anything right yet.
Hmm. Well they got the breakup right, but not the most important part. But it still got a lot more complicated. Instead of having to control two people, I now have to control four.
Still, I have been in worse situations. Like that time Chiron got tired of us Aphrodite girls constantly sitting out on Capture the Flag, he made us keep playing in them until we got the flag. Thank the gods that Silena traitor knew how to fight or we would still be stuck in those games. Talk about torture.
I risked a peek at the two hiding behind the tree. Wow, that is the worst hiding place, ever. So inconspicuous. (Please note my sarcasm.)
I turned my head around. Wait, where did Percy and Annabeth go?
People are so unpredictable. I look away for a second and they walk away. Huh.
Annabeth's POV: (A/N: I promise this is the last POV change in this chapter!)
I was talking to Percy when I thought felt someone watching us. So, like a normal person would, I nudged Percy a little bit. Not enough so that anyone watching us would notice, but enough to get his attention.
I rested my head on shoulder and told him quietly, "I think someone is watching us."
He yawned, pretended to be stretching while nonchalantly looking over his shoulder.
"It's Drew." He whispered to me.
"Drew? Why would she – "A memory hit me before I could finish.
I stood in the doorway of my cabin. We had just gotten back from our quest into the sea of monsters.
I remembered this. It was right before Thalia came back from being in the tree.
I wasn't really doing much, just thinking. I could make out the figure of a girl in the distance. It was… Drew? Why would she want to see me? Unless, she wanted to see someone else. But that seemed highly unlikely, since she was staring at me, seething mad.
Since my half-siblings were all working on something and I didn't want to disturb them, I walked up to Drew instead of waiting for her to come to me.
"What?!" I hissed.
She rolled her eyes and sneered,"Oh, Annabeth. I think you and I both know why I'm here."
"Um, no I don't."
"Gasp! Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, doesn't know something!"
I glared at her. When Percy did it, it was funny. When Drew did it, it was annoying.
"Drew! What. Do. You. Want."
"Hmm, let's think. I. Want. Percy."
"Wait what?" I didn't even see that coming.
She chuckled, but stopped dramatically. "You heard me, honey. Sure, I'll let you guys get together, but soon enough, he'll be mine!
"Who said I liked Percy?"
She laughed like what I was suggesting was ridiculous. "Hun, are you kidding? Just let me know when you finally get your thoughts sorted." She skipped off.
Drew. She always says that she gets what she wants every single time. Well, hun, not this time.
I motioned to Percy that we should leave, once I saw her distracted by… a tree? Didn't think she would stoop that low. We slowly snuck away.
After we did, we hid in the closest hiding spot, behind Zeus' fist. Drew was looking around in confusion as to where we were. We snickered quietly at her dumbfound expression. The conch horn blew, signaling dinner.
I pulled Percy's hand, dragging him out of our hiding place. On the way to the pavilion, I saw that Drew noticed us, but tried to act like she didn't.
~ * skipping to the next morning * ~
I woke up quite early for me. It was 7:30, so everyone was still asleep. There really wasn't much for me to do. Chiron was probably the only one awake and I really didn't want to bother him, so I just took a stroll Just around the area where the cabins were.
I used to do this all the time before Percy came. Back then, I was just obsessed with training, training, training. The only time I ever stopped to think about raining was when I was either dreaming about getting a quest, or Luke.
I don't even know why I ever thought I had a crush on him. The way he acted towards me just showed that he thought of me as a sister. And I knew I loved him, just didn't know that it was a brotherly love.
A lot of people think that he was a traitor, but they never think about how he sacrificed himself to save us. In the end he realized that we were right. And he fixed it, so that made him a hero. He wasn't evil, just misguided.
I just don't really understand what motivated him to join Kronos' side. He claimed that it was because our parents ignored us completely and just wanted us to do their dirty work for them. I mean, a lot of us thought that, but that isn't really important enough to make us want to betray our parents. I always had a slight suspicion that there was something else.
I knew Luke before we came to Camp Half-Blood. I mean the real Luke. Not the one that kept ranting about how our parents were so horrible. He cared for Thalia and me, stood up for us even though it meant putting himself in danger. The three of us, we were a real family. I never really felt like that with anyone. Not the Athena cabin, not my real family in San Francisco. If one of us had a weakness, one of the others covered for them.
But that life was ruined when Grover brought us to Camp Half-Blood. I mean, I don't blame Grover, but Luke was just never really the same. When Thalia died, our family was broken. Luke and I were still friends, but things were never really the same between us again.
But then Luke went on his quest and came back completely different. When we talked, he would always manage to make a reference as to how ignorant our parents were, how they never cared about us. So he joined Kronos.
But then Thalia came back. A while after that, Luke came to me, begging me to help him. What was that about? He was obviously realizing his wrongdoings, but it was obviously too late for him. He had chosen his path.
I sometimes just wish that the three of us would just go back to the way we used to be, but it's impossible. For one thing, Luke is dead. Second, Thalia is lieutenant of the hunters. Third, I could never leave Percy.
I stopped in front of the Aphrodite cabin and peeked though a crack in the neon pink curtains. I usually ignore this cabin, rush by it as fast as possible. Something just caught my eye this time.
Everything was dark in the cabin. But in the corner, I could see someone hunched over under the covers, with a flashlight.
Wonder who that is. And what they are doing.
