Chapter 3 – Love hurts

(Annabeth's POV)

When I woke up, I realized that I was in shackles, from the neck, to the wrists, and to the ankles. I wonder if I'm THAT dangerous. I'm in sort of a… dungeon? And, the cool part is, I can overhear what Kronos and another… Titan was talking about.

"Kronos, you know that they outnumber us. With how much allies they have gathered, compared to ours, we will be defeated!"

"Hyperion, brother," he said.

Hyperion is Kronos' brother? Wonder if – a voice cut me off.

"KRONOS! Release me now! I will serve you! Just release me! I cannot bear this pain any longer!"

"ATLAS, WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP! We're discussing plans here. You'll get your chance. Hm… fine. You'll get your chance. You'll get to kill Zeus' daughter. HAPPY?" Kronos shouted back.

"Yes, Kronos. As long as I get to kill someone!"

"NOW WILL YOU SHUT UP?"

SILENCE

"Thank you brother."

"You're welcome!"

"I SAID SHUT UP. Ugh. I wonder if he's more trouble than he's worth. As I was saying, brother, YOU, are the Titan of Light! For goodness' sake. You could blind them while I and Atlas cut them to pieces. Pure genius."

"SO, what if they bring the gods with them huh?" Hyperion said.

"My children? The gods? Are you trying to kill me from laughing? They're even more cowardly than that Jackson boy!" he said with a laugh.

"Brother, do not be overconfident. Even IF they're cowardly, they are still powerful. Without your true form, you—" Hyperion said with nervousness.

"Do not worry brother. They'll have to pass through water to get to Mount Tam. Oceanus is still in his slumber. He will wake soon enough." Kronos grunted.

"Oh, and yes, the girl." Hyperion said.

"Jackson's girlfriend, yes. Why do you ask?"

I am so pissed at why they, no not they, everyone keeps calling me Percy's girlfriend. Yeah, we hang out a lot, but it isn't even official… yet. But still, I don't get why they refer to us as… you know. Our parents are even enemies! Anyway, I can hear footsteps. I have to act asleep.

"Hey, little girl. Brought you some food. I don't want to see Percy's girlfriend die. I want to kill him FIRST." He said as he locked the door.

I wasn't even sleepy. But I drifted off to sleep and dreamt of someone familiar, Brad. And Percy. And they were in Mount Tam.

"She's mine! We were not just friends! I love her!" Brad said, while having a swordfight with Percy. He had bloodlust in his eyes.

"No you don't. You've met only for a short while! As for us…" he said, panting and tired. "We've been friends for a long time. And just because she's kind to you, doesn't mean she likes you back!" Uppercut – ing.

"How do you know? I know she likes me, not you. She always teases you and calls you Seaweed Brain. Isn't that insulting?" Stabbing Percy, but missing.

"You're naïve, Brad. No wonder Annabeth doesn't want to be with you. You always fill yourself with pride. Always thinking you're correct. But no. She doesn't even notice you. Remember that time when we met? She forgot about you!" dodging a swing from Brad.

"Well, DUH. Because she misses you. You haven't met in a while. And she's blind, Percy. Blinded by you. You make her believe that you love her. But you don't" he said, defending himself from Percy's blow.

"How do you know that Brad? You don't. You're assuming you're correct. You know, I planned to ask her to be my girlfriend. I promised myself that, to not let myself and her be any further apart, I would ask her to be my girlfriend. But you had to screw things up Brad. YOU HAD TO!" he shouted, as he shoved Brad to the ground, and pointed the sword at his neck, as Brad's sword clattered to the ground.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout, I wanted to protest. But no word came exceeded from my lips. All I could hope for was this dream to end.

"I'm sorry Percy. Nature takes its course. It was meant to be! I was the right guy. No matter who she is, no matter WHAT she is, no matter how much you love her, I'm destined to get her. And I will." He gave a smug smile, and using his feet, tripped Percy, and grabbed Riptide away from him. And used stuck it to Percy's chest.

"You might kill me, but my love for her would never end! We will be together in Elysium. And who knows? You go straight to Tartarus."

"Your love will wither, for I will dispose of your heart. And for that, you will never feel her love again." As he was about to stab Percy in the heart, the dream vanished and there was a scream of someone in pain. I couldn't hope for anyone, because they're both my friends. I hope this is just a dream, not a vision.
