Summary
Percy Jackson was born to do one thing and one thing only. Kill.
He is assigned to assassinate Annabeth Chase, the richest and most spoiled blonde on earth.
But what happens when they fall in love with each other and their worlds turn upside down?
Will he still be able to finish his mission, or will he do something entirely different?
Read on as the two of them face love and the trouble that comes their way.
Percy's POV:
I was furious.
Who could blame me? That bitch insulted my parents. Laying here, in the dark, I could see where my fists had hit the wall. Which was everywhere. Debris was strewn across the floor, covering almost everything. I hadn't bothered to clean it up.
My fists were throbbing. After I ruined the room, the first thing I noticed how much my knuckles ached. I had looked down to find that they were covered in blood and torn skin. They were know rapped in bandages, though I could still see red through them. I wanted to kill her-
Kill
I could kill her now. No one would stop me. If the other servants got in the way, I'd kill them too. A smirk came to my face at the thought of killing her. Getting up, I strapped Riptide-Rip and Tide-to my shorts, heading to Annabeth's room.
Thump
As soon as I walked out of the room, my hand hit a vase-making me wince(I hit it very hard, mind you)-that was coincidently right beside the room, tipping it over. Using my fast reflexes, I caught the vase with my left hand, putting it back on the table. Now, normally I'm an expert at sneaking. But this house was full of useless junk that was practically covering the entire house. I kept still, listening for any signs that other people were awake. Pleased with the silence, I walked towards her room.
Finally stopping outside Annabeth's room, I slipped inside, closing the door quietly behind me. Walking closer to her bed, I looked at her sleeping figure. From the moonlight shining through her window, I could see that her eyebrows were scrunched together, like she was worried and upset. I kept walking until I was within arms reach. Taking out Tide, I raised it. I paused, looking down at her. Then at Tide. I dropped my arm to my side, looking at her again. I couldn't do it. I don't know why, but I couldn't. Sighing, I strapped Tide back to my shorts, quietly going outside her room and walking back to mine.
Probably because Kronos would kill me if he found out that I had disobeyed his orders. Yeah, that's it. 'Cause Kronos would Kill me.
That's not the reason. You just don't want to kill Annabeth.
What? Of course I want to kill her. She's such an annoyance.
You're just saying that. You don't want to kill Annabeth. You'd never do that to her.
It sounds like you're saying-
You LOVE her. I know it.
What?! I do NOT love her. How could I?
Because of her luscious golden locks and her beautiful stormy grey. I bet you want to kiss her soft, pink lips and-
"Shut up." I growled out loud, tired of hearing the voice inside of my head. Stepping inside my room, I shut my door, plunking down on the bed. Unstrapping Riptide from my shorts, I let out a yawn. I hadn't noticed I was tired, my thoughts getting in the way of my sleepiness. Laying down, I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
It felt like a second later I woke up, but I knew that wasn't the case. Light streamed from the bedroom window, showing the full damage of what I had done yesterday. Let's just say that it looked like a tornado flew around my room. I walked to the washroom, careful to not step on the ruined plaster. Doing my daily routine, I picked out random clothing and put them on, shoving my shoes onto my feet. I put on a dark blue beanie, since my hair was still dripping wet.
As soon as I opened my door, I saw Annabeth's hand raised in a knock. Her mouth was open in shock, her eyes wide. She hastily put her arm back to her side, blushing. My face turned stoic, my eyes becoming emotionless once again. She didn't notice, just kept blushing. Annabeth looked up at me, about to say something when I brushed past her, heading towards the stairs. After a few seconds of silence, I heard her call out my name. I stopped in my tracks, not turning around to face her.
"Percy?" Her voice was tentative, almost nervous. I turned around, staring blankly at her.
"Yes?" Void of emotion. That's what my voice sounded like.
"Uh...It's just that I wanted to apolo-"
I cut her off. I didn't want to hear an apology from her. It wasn't like I was going to accept it anyways. "If there's nothing you want me to do, can I go?"
She was caught of guard. "Oh. Uh, I guess."
I turned back towards the stairs, leaving a very flustered Annabeth behind me.
This continued throughout the rest of the day. Every time I was alone, Annabeth would come up to me and try and to strike up a conversation. And every time she'd strike up a conversation, I'd barely say anything. She was so infuriating. Why wouldn't she just leave me alone?
I was thinking this while walking to my locker after last period when I saw Ashley and Annabeth talking. I stopped in my tracks. Ashley knew what Annabeth said to me yesterday, and her reaction wasn't good. Her face was eerily calm, but I could see the mask behind her blue eyes. She was really angry. Not as bad as me, but almost. Sally was her mother figure. She never met her real parents, and since Sally and her were really close, she thought of her as her own mother.
As soon as I finished that thought, Ashley's ocean blue eyes turned to look at my sea green ones. I made a gesture for her to come over, and she nodded ever so slightly. She said a few words to Annabeth and began to walk towards me.
"What were you talking about with her?" I questioned once she was in front of me.
"Nothing particular. Just that she should think before talking." She said innocently.
I glared. "Ashley. You shouldn't of told her off. Now she's just going to try even harder to talk to me. Which pisses the shit out of me even more."
She rose an eyebrow. "What? Did you think I was going to tell her off because of what she said? We're partners in drama class and she said a couple of lines with the wrong emotion. I was just telling her to think about what she's about to say first, so she can say it correctly. She seemed off."
"Did you really?"
She gave me this look. "I wouldn't do that. I know you enough to predict your reaction. And my guess was correct. Your voice became cold, your eyes narrowed. You'd probably blow up the school because of your anger." I sighed. She was right. If I had found out that she talked to Annabeth, this school would've probably been ruined.
"Let's go somewhere." Meaning, I needed to get my mind off things. She nodded in understanding, heading back towards our lockers. Unfortunately, Annabeth was still there. She was talking to Silena, who was talking animatedly. Though Annabeth was nodding, she looked unfocused, her eyes seeming far away. As we approached my locker, Annabeth turned her head towards us. Her eyes widened as she saw me, then blushed, her head tilting downwards in what looked like embarrassment. Why she was embarrassed, I had no clue.
I opened my locker, acting like she wasn't even there. Grabbing random books and shoving them into my backpack, I shut the locker, turning around to see Luke talking to Ashley. They were at the other end of the hall, but I could see them clearly. Ashley had her back against the wall, a bored and annoyed expression on her face. Luke was leaning his used-to-be broken arm against the wall behind her, his body dangerously close to hers. I walked closer until I was within hearing distance.
"...ditch that friend of yours?" From what Luke said, I knew he wanted Ashley. Which made me furious. He already had a girl. I absolutely hate cheaters. Especially cheaters with the name Luke Castellan. Though I wanted to barge in and beat the crap out of Luke, I knew Ashley could handle it. I leaned against a nearby wall and watched them converse.
"Excuse me, but don't you already have a girlfriend?" She pointedly looked at Annabeth. Luke looked behind him and saw me looking at them. A smirk came onto his face. He wanted to see my reaction when he got Ashley to go out with him. I smirked right back. I knew Ashley was never, in a million years, going to go out with the guy.
"So? No one needs to know." He leaned in closer, but Ashley stopped him with her look.
"Yeah, no one needs to know about the beating you're going to get from me if you don't step away." Luke just smirked.
"I like girls who play hard to get." He brought his hand up to trail his finger down the side of her face.
Ashley leaned closer like she was enjoying his touch. "Oh, I'm not hard to get. I'm impossible to get." Her hand grabbed his, and she squeezed, hard. His eyes widened in shock, then filled with pain. Ashley let go, walking towards me. I fell into step with her as she walked past, putting my arm around her shoulder.
"Tsk tsk, Ash. You should have done something better. Like knee him in the balls. Of course, it's not like he as any." We both laughed, making the students around us give us weird looks.
Just as we were about to walk out the front doors, I felt someone staring at me. I turned my head to see a pair of stormy grey eyes looking into mine. For a few seconds, it seemed like it was just the two of us. Then someone turned Annabeth around, and the world came back into view. Walking to my car, I was in a daze until someone stopped me. I had completely forgotten Ashley was even there. Her eyes were filled with worry.
"You alright, Percy?" I just nodded, not sure what had happened back at school.
Shaking my head, I put on a smile. "Let's go to headquarters for a while. I miss my weapons." I joked, but there was no humor in my voice.
Ashley nodded, but she still had that worried look in her eyes. We both hopped into my jeep, speeding off towards headquarters.
A/N: Not much in there, but I have writers block. Sucks, really. Please excuse all my grammar mistakes. (If there is any)
