Hey guys! I have something to tell you guys! If I get over 10 reviews on this story, then I will update Behind Closed Doors. I don't want to update, then only get another 10 views. I need to know that you guys want to read it, or I'll just stop. I am thinking of doing a couple of one-shots, but I don't think I will yet :) My Prophesies fanfic is going good, and I have a few more to post, so go check that out! Anyway, R&R :)

Chapter 2 - God Bother-er - (Annabeths POV)

He hurt me… He hurt me… I tell myself over and over again. Percy. Why would he do that! Cheat on me… with, Drew. Drew of all people! Pushing these thoughts away, I look down at my arm.

08844741862 (Do not call this number. I just made it up! :P)

Landing Ancora in a field, I dismount, and let her graze. Digging out my mobile, I dial in the number, and set it on speed-dial.

Taking a deep breath, I call it.

Ring, ring, ring.

"Hello?" An angry voice answers. Leo.

"Leo. P-please help me." I stutter. I hadn't thought about what I would say.

"Annabeth? Right, where are you?" His voice crackles along the line, suddenly gentle.

"In a field outside New York."

"Ok. Right. I live in New York. You can stay there, and I'll come as soon as I can escape Chiron,"

"Ok Leo. 34 Salvum Street, right?" I ask. I don't think I could cope with ending up at some strangers house.

"Yeah, there shouldn't be anybody home, but Michelle might come home for lunch. If she does, just say that your one of Leo's friends from camp, and she should leave you alone." I cringe at the thought of having to actually talk to Leo's foster mother.

"Ok. T-thank you." I burst into tears again.

"Hey, its ok. You'll be fine. I can get there in about 15 minutes, if I get Nico to shadow-travel me. Is that ok?"

"Yes. Please bring Nico. He's good at cheering me up." My lips tug up into a small smile.

"Ok Annie. I'll see you in a few." I say goodbye, and hang up. How much trouble did he cause?

I remount Ancora, and ride her onto the road. I hope the Mist makes it look like I'm riding a normal horse… A couple of cars pass us, but they just swerve to the side, and glance at me strangely. I look down at myself, and realize what their looking at.

I'm still wearing camp clothes. I look down at the bright orange shirt, the writing, Camp Half-Blood and the 12 little symbols to represent the main Gods. Then it hits me. There is another person who can help. Mum.

Leading Ancora into a field, I dismount again.

"Mum, if you're listening, give me a sign." I look up at the sky, talking directly to the Gods. An owl swoops low, its eyes gold, before vanishing into some trees nearby. "Any chance of a visit? If anyone can help, its you." My voice cracks at the end.

"My dear, I'm always listening to you. Always watching." A bright light, and Athena is walking towards me. "What did I tell you about Percy Jackson? He has hurt you, hasn't he?" Her voice is calm, but her eyes are angry.

"Yes mother. He has hurt me. He has hurt me more than I ever thought possible. I feel as if a piece of my soul is missing." I blink tears out of my eyes.

"Dearest Annabeth, it is okay to cry. Believe it or not, once upon a time, I had my heart broken. That is why I am now a maiden goddess, to stop it happening again.

"I cannot help you directly, but I will do what I can. I will inform Poseidon of what his son has done. He always liked you, so I would think his punishment on Percy will be severe enough. From what I heard, you certainly left Jackson in a state that will take time to recover from. I also heard of the crime." I cringe at that last part. She knows.

"I'm so sorry, Mother! I didn't mean to, it was there, and… and I just wanted to hurt him as much as he has hurt me! Oh, why has Aphrodite done this to me!" I wail, crumpling to my knees, sobbing.

"I understand. But Annabeth, a sword? Why not your daggers?" She questions. What? Why is that important?

"Because, because he uses a sword. I-I guess I wanted to h-hurt him with h-his favoured blade." I sniff, wiping my tears impatiently.

"My dear, he has broken you, hasn't he? Perseus Jackson shall pay."

"Why does Aphrodite hate me so." I frown.

"I do believe she likes you two too much."

"Likes us! She has broken my heart over and over again!" I hide my face in my hands. There is another flash of light, and Aphrodite is standing in the field with us.

"My dear. I do indeed like you. You can withstand much heartbreak, but I fear that my girl has gone too far this time." She looks me in the eye, and frowns. "You have no light in your eyes, this is sorrowful news."

"It's all your fault! You have made my life miserable! I can handle the life-threatening quests, the annoying campers, but I just… I just can't take this." I shake my head, eyes downcast. I turn my back to Aphrodite, and remount Ancora.

"Annabeth. Do remember who you're talking to." Aphrodite says sternly.

"Yes, ma'am. But you don't deserve the little bit of respect I have left. The gods have ruined my life. I'm not ashamed to say it anymore." With that said, I turn Ancora to face my mum.

"Mother, Athena, please forgive me. I called you down, but… I can't stand this anymore. I'm going to try and forget my demigod side." A tear slid silently down my cheek. "I have to forget him, and this is the only way how. I'm so sorry."

Athena steps forward, and nods gravely. Pulling me into a gentle embrace, she whispers in my ear so that Aphrodite won't hear.

"Hope, is a powerful word. Don't let Aphrodite know about the other boy." She steps back, a small smile on her lips.

"Goodbye, my dearest daughter."

"Goodbye, Mum." I say, before, clicking my heels against Ancoras' flank, and soaring into the sky. I look back once, to see two bright flashes.

Landing Ancora on the road about half a mile from the city, and ride her into the city. I find the park on Leo's street. Dismounting, I sit on a bench, and open my backpack. I take out a pen and some paper, and write a letter. Attaching it to Ancora with some string, I lean in close to her face.

"Hey girl, I don't want to say goodbye, but I don't know if we'll see each other again. I just want you to know, that I am greatful for your service, and I'll never forget you. I trust you to take that letter back to Chiron. Make sure he gets it. Can you do that one last thing for me?"

"Of course, mistress Annabeth. I will fly the skies, and get the letter to Chiron before sundown! It has been an honour to serve you." Ancora bows low, before taking off, and disappearing over the horizon.

I make my way to Leo's apartment, when I knock on the door, Michelle answers.

"Hello?" She asks uncertainly.

"I'm Annabeth. I'm one of Leo's friends from camp. He said that I should meet him here." I reply, forcing a smile on my face.

"Okay. Come on in." She opens the door wider for me.

I go in and sit on the sofa.

"So, you're a half-blood too?" She asks.

"Uh, yeah. I take it Leo told you about us?" I ask.

"Oh no, silly. I'm a half-blood too!" She exclaims.

"Really…? What parent?" I ask.

"Hm? Mother. Athena." She smiles. I gasp, and she looks at me strangely. "What is it, dear?"

"I'm a daughter of Athena too!"

"What a coincidence. Leo never said anything about you being of Athena!"

"He didn't?" I ask, confused.

"Nope!"

"Oh… Well, that's me. Any idea what's taking him so long?" I ask.

"No, he phoned about ten minutes ago, saying he's just coming." She says, glancing over at me. There's something about her that makes me look twice. Then it hits me. Monster.

But I don't have a weapon. Time to try and talk.

"Oh! I have to go. Can you tell Leo to call me when he gets back?" I ask, pretending to get a text message.

"Of course, dear. Would you like to leave a number?" She asks, staring at me intently.

"N-no. He's got it." I stumble on the words. "Anyway, thank you." I say, walking to the door. I'm about to leave, when I feel breathing on my neck. I slowly turn around. I turn about 90degrees before bursting into tears. Michelle gives me a look of confusion.

"What's wrong now, little one?" She asks, getting impatient.

"I walked i-in on m-my boyfriend cheating on m-me this morning!" I exclaim, all the pain from this morning's events racing back into me.

"Oh! That's terrible, dear!" She says, wrapping her arms around me in a tight embrace. I couldn't shout, I couldn't cry, I couldn't breathe.

"I… I can't breathe…" I manage to get out, but it was barely a whisper.

"Put. Her. Down." Leo's confident voice booms through the apartment.

I look up, to see a fiery figure standing in the doorway. Michelle drops me in shock, and I lay on the floor, gasping for air.

"Leo…" I all I manage to get out before the world swirls into darkness.
