I smashed the ball on the ground and the glass and water flew everywhere. Percy started to expands til he was his regular hight. He was very pale and layed on the floor of my cabin breathing heavy. I hugged him gently.
"oh my gods your alive! I was so worried," I said hugging him and kissing him all over. He shivered.
"Kathrine," he gasped, "we are in a lot of danger."
"I know, I got the full story. I know who the murderer is," I said. Percy blinked.
"it's Anthony," I told him. Right away his face started to go red.
"I new it, he was bad news the moment he stepped foot in this camp," Percy said angrily.
"he took Annabeth's knife and punctured me in the gut," I said.
"oh my gods are you ok?" Percy said lifting up my shirt to see the damage.
"I'm fine now. I'm a goddess, I heal fast," I said pulling down my shirt.
"anyways what happened to you?" Percy ran his fingers through his hair.
"my father pulled me down to his castle in the sea. He told me I couldn't see you anymore and said to side with him. He said I had committed a crime. Of course I didn't listen to him and said I was going to support you and until you make a difference. He warned to kill me and started to take away my power to breath under water. I was about to die when I was sucked into the earth. I was half unconscious the whole time but the parts I remember are vague. I remember breathing air, then shrinking, then busting on the floor of your cabin," he recalled, "what have you been doing lately?"
"I've been..." I started but I couldn't finish. I can't tell him I'm gonna die and he will never have known me. It would break his heart as it has all ready broken mine.
"I've been talking with my parents. They told me to get this stuff for a spell but never told me what it was for," I lied. I took the parchment paper from the table and took a look at it before handing it to Percy, making sure the name of the spell wasn't on it. He looked at the items and said,
"Pegasus feather, that one is easy. We have Pegasus stables so we can go get one right now."
"wait! This is an undercover mission because there is an assassin out there waiting for me to come out. If I go out of there I am doomed," I said.
"ok I will go get it," Percy said heading for the door.
"don't mention me in anyway," I said and kissed him before he left.
Percy's POV:
I walked out of the ate is cabin and went for the stables. I hope Annabeth is ok. It sounded like she was there when Kathrine got stabbed. As I was walking to the stables I saw Leo and Frank trying to comfort Jason.
"what happened?" I asked them.
"don't you know? Piper was murdered. We think it was kathrine," Leo said.
"really? I wasn't hear for that. I am so sorry Jason. But I know it wasn't kathrine cause she's a-" I stopped myself before I let the secret slip, "-a really nice person." fewf! That was a close one.
"I would keep an eye put for here though, she is really mysterious," Frank added. I bit my tongue before I could say another word and left back on my track to the stables. I cant believe Piper is dead! She was such a great friend to all of us. As I was about to reach the stables Chiron stopped me.
"Percy! I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been?" he asked.
"sorry Chiron I have important business to attend to," I said rushing my words and walked around him. I got to blackjack and he winnied in joy.
'it's great to see you Percy! How's life?' he asked me though thought.
"sorry blackjack," I said and plucked a feather from his wing. He neighed in protest.
'not cool man!' he said in a pissed off horse tone. I left before he could get any madder and got back to the artemis cabin without being stopped. The strange thing is I didn't see Annabeth anywhere. I hope she is ok.
Kathrine POV:
I saw Percy came through the door and I glanced up from reading the spell ingredients. He handed me the black feather and I placed it on the little corner table.
"thanks for all the help," I said to him and kissed him. He kissed me back and we started to softly make out. 'kathrine!' a voice said in my head that was not mine. I screamed and pushed Percy back. 'kathrine, I know where you are. I know what you are doing.' the voice said. I dropped to the ground holding my head.
"kathrine!" Percy said and kneeled beside me. My vision blurred and I heard the voice again repeating my name. I was completely mortified. I covered my ears but it didn't work. Then I tried replying to the voice, 'who are you?' the voice laughed evilly. 'you'll know soon cause I'm right outside your door!' suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"hold me Percy," I whimpered. Percy held me tight for he was also scared now. We huddled in the middle of the room and the knocking continued.
"who is it?" percy asked. I thought to the person behind the door, 'tell the truth' using my mind reading influencing.
"Anthony," the voice behind the door said. In my head the voice said, 'I'm coming for you!' I thought to him, 'not if I come for you first!' I took Percy's pen and uncapped it. I charged for the door and swung it open to see Anthony standing there with a sword in his hand. I stabbed the first thing I was and that was Anthony. The blade went straight through his rib cage and he disintegrated into a puff of golden flecks. I then realized what Anthony was. Percy just stared at the spectical and then said,
"Anthony is a monster!"
"no, he is a god," I corrected.
"of who?"
"well he is good at archery, like me, but he is made of bright golden specks," I said.
"Apollo?" Percy guessed.
"bingo," I said, "but not just Apollo if he is a god. Any idea?" they both thought hard and heavy before Percy said,
"Annabeth would never like a guy like that, I knew it wasn't right."
"so Annabeth was under a spell while loving Anthony," I said.
"Aphrodite," Percy said.
"of corse!"
"wait, what?" Percy said confused, "that means Apollo and Aphrodite got down to make you an equal to kill you?"
Wait, rewind and pause. Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus and she is siding with Zeus, but she broke the law herself. Wtf?
"he is not my equal, my dad is one of the big three," I said, maybe a bit too arrogantly.
"meh, he could have some super awesome power that you can't defeat," Percy said.
"but I can make him think anything I want and have a huge influence. So much it could make him think it's his gut feel and impulse," I said. I felt a surge of electricity run through me. Just to prove my point further I made Percy think, 'let me wear your bra'. Moments later Percy blurted out quite loudly,
"let me wear your bra." I burst out in laughter. Percy, then realizing what he said, blushed.
"I really wouldn't mind if I did, if I had to of corse," he said cheekily. Nice recovery Percy, nice.
"wow, that's wonderful. I am so glad I know that now," I said through giggles, " I was just messing with you. An example of my magnificence." ok now I am sounding like my father - like any god for that matter. My ego is starting to kick I now.
"I under stand now what you are talking about," Percy said, "I really felt like saying that was absolutely nessesary."
"I know," I said now looking back to the spell paper, "anyway, we need to work quickly and undercover. This spell must be completed ASAP. The next ingredient is..."
Sorry, I got tired and decided to stop here. Don't get mad please! :)
