Atlantis and Athens
Hi guys, so sorry I didn't update for a long time since I have been way to busy, but here's chapter 9 and I don't own anything. Rick Riordan does and PiperElizabethMclean does:
Percy's POV
It's been a week since Malcolm interrupted the make-out session between me and Annabeth. And every since that, Annabeth has been ignoring me, and gods it is annoying. Every time I try to talk to her, she just walks away without saying a word, but I notice her eyes tell a different story. But today Calypso was coming to pick up Arian and one thing was for sure; Annabeth hates Arian, Calypso and their whole kingdom. I tried getting her to tell me why, but like I said she just walks away.
But anyways, later on today Queen Calypso came over to pick up Arian (as I said) and was about to leave when a storm came by which got them to stay here for the night. It was only Calypso who came since her husband needed to watch their kingdom. But since Calypso was over, Annabeth was burning mad. When it was time for dinner we all gathered to the banquet hall and started eating. We were all in an awkward silence besides the fact that Annabeth was glaring arrows at Calypso and she was doing the exact same thing back. And I knew something had happened between the two.
I guess Athena had sensed the tension since she started talking to Calypso.
"So Calypso, how is Ethan?" Athena asked.
"Oh he is doing fine. He couldn't come since he decided to watch the kingdom and…for past reasons." Calypso answered glaring at Annabeth. Annabeth teeth clenched.
"Oh, I'm sure he stayed behind because he was too tired of your clichés." Annabeth snared. I gulped knowing something was going to happen. "Annabeth." Malcolm warned.
"Yeah right, he probably didn't come since he was too tired of you bossing him around all over again." Calypso snapped back. Annabeth gave Calypso a nasty glare. If looks could kill…
"Like you weren't any better." Annabeth said through gritted teeth. We all tensed besides Calypso and Arian who had left since the maid knew something was going to happen. "You know what, our life has been perfect before you jumped in and if I were you I would stay away from my kingdom and Ethan." Calypso said and I saw angry through her eyes. Annabeth laughed coldly,
"Oh please, I wouldn't even go near that nasty kingdom of yours."
"Annabeth that's enough." I whispered since she was right beside me. But once again, Annabeth ignored me.
"But if you go back to it, it was Ethan who made the decision of picking one of us…and you know, I'm betting he wishes to take back his choice."
"Take that back!" Calypso snared.
"Not in a hundred years." Annabeth snapped back.
"That's it!" Calypso screeched as she tackled Annabeth to the ground and the two girls started pulling each others hair.
"Ohh…cat-fight." Malcolm said. We all glared at Malcolm. Who had decided to shut up.
"I SAID TO TAKE IT BACK!" Calypso said as she pulled Annabeth's hair.
"NEVER!" Annabeth said while yanking Calypso's hair harder.
"Girls that's enough!" My mom Sally scolded trying to get Calypso off Annabeth. Athena then helped, and so did the rest. But I realized they were all trying to get Calypso off…they didn't even bother to try to get Annabeth off Calypso. So, that was my role. I got beside Annabeth's head and took her by the arms and pulled her away from Calypso. But of course she fought back and tried to get away from me. "
"Annabeth, stop." I scolded her. "You're acting childish"
"LET ME GO!" Annabeth yelled at me and yanked out if my arms which were right around her waist. This time, she tackled Calypso to the ground which caused Calypso to yelp.
"Girls stop." My dad Poseidon's voiced boomed as he tried to get Annabeth off, but somehow Annabeth pushed him away.
"Well…I tried." Poseidon sighed. Wow, my dad never gives up.
"I'll try." Malcolm said and tried to get Annabeth off. "Annie stop this." Malcolm told her. But it was no use, Annabeth had punched Malcolm.
"Ohh…what the heck?" Malcolm whined covering his nose which was now bleeding. I turned to my mom and Athena. They shook their head saying they weren't going to try. I sighed…Percy Jackson to the rescue. I got behind Annabeth and pulled her off of Calypso (and wow, she was strong.)
"Annabeth stop." I begged her, pulling her off. But she just kept pulling Calypso's hair and Calypso was doing the same. So I tugged and pulled but she wouldn't get off. No matter what Annabeth did to me (not to mention punch me, kick me and slap me) I didn't give up. And finally after a final pull, I got Annabeth off. Everyone got over to Calypso and helped her up and held her back (just in case she was going to attack.) I turned my attention to Annabeth who had tears running down her check. I held her tight and put my hands on her face and wiped the tears away with my thumb.
"It's alright." I whispered into her hair as she hugged me and buried her face into my neck.
After a while, I realized Calypso had gone to her room (which is the guest room.) Everyone was looking at me in disbelieve. I sighed and gave them a look that said: I'll-take-her-to-her-bedroom. They all nodded in agreement. I picked Annabeth up bridle style. She then buried her face in my chest. I smiled and walked up stares and brought her to her room. As I opened her room, she held me tighter not wanting me to leave her here. I sighed and put her done. She looked at me with a look of sadness, loneliness, guilt and fear.
A tear ran done her check. I wiped it away with my thumb and smiled. "Percy I…I'm sorry." Annabeth whispered. I smiled.
"You did nothing wrong Annabeth, we'll talk about it tomorrow so just get some sleep." I told her. She nodded and slipped into her blanket. I smiled and kissed her head,
"Goodnight Annabeth." Annabeth seemed to smile.
"Goodnight." I sighed and walked out of her room where I saw Calypso coming out of her room crying.
"Hey…what's wrong." I asked.
"That devil of your fiancée pulled my hair." She cried hugging me and laying her head on my chest. Well you're the one who tackled her. My inner voice said.
"Shh…its okay, I'm sure Annabeth didn't mean too." I hugged her back and ignoring that she called Annabeth a devil. Calypso nodded. After a while, I got really uncomfortable.
"Um…Calypso…get some rest okay." I said pulling away from her. Calypso had a look in her eyes that got me to get second-thoughts about this girl. I hadn't even realized our lips were only a centimeter away. Suddenly, the gap between our lips closed.
Percy Jackson! You jerk! what are you doing? You're getting married! Get away from her. She's using you." My inner voice yelled at me. "What am I doing?" I asked my-self.
But something made me kiss her back. Calypso smiled as I kissed her back. She tried to get her tongue in my mouth, but I wouldn't let her in. Suddenly, I heard a door open and I heard a gasp. I quickly pulled away from Calypso and turned around seeing…Annabeth.
Annabeth had tears running down her check. "
"Annabeth…it's not what…" I started. But Annabeth cut me off by shaking her head and running away. "Annabeth!" I called, but it was too late, she was gone. I turned back to Calypso and saw her smirking. I felt anger wash over me.
"You planned this didn't you?" I yelled at her. Calypso shook her head, but her eyes said: yes, of course.
"YOU KNOW WHAT? ANNABETH WAS RIGHT. YOU REALLY ARE A ** AND YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE!" I yelled at her. Calypso so was shocked on what I had said. I pushed her away and chased after Annabeth. But one thing remained in my head: What have I done?
Well, I hoped to like this chapter. I think this chapter was a little short. But I hoped you liked it and thank you to everybody for reviewing chapter 8. And special thanks to PiperElizabethMclean for letting me continue this story, helping me on this idea and being my Beta-reader ~ she is the best. But anyways, I hope you liked it.
