Chapter 10:

Hey everyone! Chapter 10! Wow. Sorry for taking so long. I wanted to make sure this was good to read and I noticed there wasn't that much Percabeth in the last few chapters thanks to a guest. I love how you guys review and tell me you enjoy this as much as I do. I put a lot f effort into these chapters. I edit and make sure it follows with the plot I planned.

Reviewer:

abcathena- I know you want Hazel in the story. I want to tell you that I don't know where to put her in the story. I have my reasons for not putting her in. If you know where I can place her in the story then I will place her. (other people reading this, give me your suggestions on where to put hazel in the story)

CHAOTICPERSON346- I'm glad you think that those other chapters were enjoyable :)

Thank you so much for your reviews. I appreciate it so much. Review if you haven't done so yet.

Percy's POV:

I leaned on the wall in Leo's room, looking away from Leo as he changed into light brown and white tunic since he spilled his wine on the other one. I could hear him struggling to put it on. I smirked at him when I heard a thump on the ground. He grunted.

"A little help would be nice. I already have my pants on" He said, he kept moving trying to get up. I turned around and saw he was all tangled up in his sleeves. I stopped and laughed. He stopped moving and tried to see what I was laughing at. He looked behind himself.

"What? Do I got something on my butt?" He said trying to take a look. I just laughed harder. He glared at me. I made one last chuckle while helping him up and untangling him. He pulled the tunic over his neck and tucked in his tunic in his pants and put his sword holster around his waist. He looked in the mirror fixing his curly hair, but it just kept bouncing up.

"Stupid hair" He muttered. I grinned at him. He turned to me, looking ready.

"I made the meeting this morning with the King. We should be meeting with him in about a good 20 minuets" He said going for the door and twisting the door knob quickly and getting out of the room. I followed him and closed the door behind me.

"That's great. Do you think I'm- um sorry- we're making the right call?" I said looking at him as we turned a corner. Leo looked up for a second, thinking.

"I guess. I mean we are doing this for the kingdom" Leo said slowing down. He turned to me.

"Hey look, the girls" He pointed to my right. I looked to where he was pointing and saw Piper, Reyna, Thalia, and Annabeth walking down the corridor talking about something. Annabeth spotted me looking at her and I quickly turned away. Leo patted my back and went in their direction. I continued to go the other way. Leo caught my arm.

"Mate, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the king's room, don't feel like talking"

"That meeting is in 20 we have time, you ok?" He said pulling my arm. I got out of his hold and he looked at me worriedly.

"I fine, can never be too early, right?" I said taking one last look at Annabeth and the girls who were giving us a confused look. I nodded at Leo. He let my arm go and I turned around a corner.

Leo's POV:

I looked at Percy until he disappeared around a corner. I'm guessing something happened between one of the girls. My guess is Annabeth. I walked back to the girls. They all hugged me. I forgot they still didn't know I was here.

"Leo you're back?" They said at the same time. I grinned. Annabeth had a gray dress. Piper had a peach colored one. Thalia had a black dress covered in sparkles. Reyna had a light purple one.

"Where's Percy going?" Annabeth said her hands laced together. Her face was showing he sign of worry. I sighed and first bowed to her.

"He's off to the big room. There's a meeting in the big room with the king if you didn't know, Princess" I said. She nodded and hugged me first.

"I'm glad you're back Leo. I know there is a meeting. I'll see you later" She said walking off in the direction Percy went. I turned back to the girls. They hugged me one at a time. Again.

"Leo, when did you get here?" Piper smiled.

"Last night, Well, let's take a walk. It's kind of a long story" I said and we stood shoulder by shoulder walking out the corridor.

"What story?" Reyna said raising her eyebrow at me. I sighed.

"It's not a good..." I hang my head loose.

Annabeth's POV:

I know the real reason to why Percy didn't want to come to talk. He's avoiding me. For what, what was going on? He was the one that lied. Then again, what I said in my father's room made me feel guilty. I haven't been quiet honest myself too. I still haven't told him about Rachel being possibly the spy and my dad about me and Percy. I needed to tell him. My dad, I had to tell him soon. Where was he? I said in my head. I turned around a corner. I spotted Percy almost close to the big room, near a balcony. The sun was the only light source being used. I my heels sunk into the bright red carpet, only a few inches. I could only see the back of Percy. One hand hid in one pocket. I cleared my throat to tell him my presence. He turned his head quickly taking out the hand from his pocket, startled. I chuckled.

"Don't worry it's just me" I grinned and walked closer. He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sorry. I was just lost in my thoughts" He said. He bowed to me, "How was your day princess?"

"Again with the princess thing, but my day is doing just fine" I groaned. I Rolled my eyes and grinned. He grinned also and stood straight up again.

"Sorry. So, what are you doing here?" He asked. I sighed.

"I live here" He just laughed.

"You know what I mean" He said.

"I wanted to talk to you"

"Oh?" He said quietly and fixed his tunic, "about?"

"Not here, just you and me. Alone" He was about to say something, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the closest room. It was dark, I tried to look for a light switch. Percy was also fumbling around the room for a light switch. Then the room was filled with light. I looked at Percy. His hand holding a tiny strip of rope connected to a light bulb.

"Found it" he said and grinned. I huffed and chuckled. He let go of the rope and looked around the room. We were in a janitors closet. There was mops and buckets filled with water. There were also towels and sprays to clean windows.

"I never knew this was the Janitor's closet" I said putting both my hands on my hips. Percy shrugged and turned back to me.

"So, what did you need to talk about?" He said a little too loud. I put a finger to my mouth.

"Not so loud. I don't want anyone to hear us" I said. He nodded and grinned.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" I whispered and looked at him in the eyes. He shook his head quickly.

"I haven't been avoiding you"

"Stop with the lying please..."

"I-I'm sorry" He said and looked down and then back up, "I didn't mean to hurt you with the lies I've been telling you. I just wanted to protect you. I didn't want you to hate your dad because of me. You're right I should stop telling you lies. It's hurting you"

"You still haven't answered my question?"

"What?"

"Why avoid me? When you just had to apologize"

"I thought you we're right, I have been hurting you with my lies. So I thought you thought that maybe you had enough of me and wanted to end what we had. If you thought it was for the best, then I did too. I avoided you because I didn't want to hurt you anymore if you didn't want me" He whispered.

"You thought wrong"

"I thought wrong? What do you mean by tha-" I stepped in closing the gap between us. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. It was a slow kiss. He was first shocked by my move, but then he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer. As if we weren't close enough. We pulled back slowly and out of breath. My hands slowly falling from his hair onto his shoulder. I could see we were both grinning like idiots.

"So I'm forgiven" He whispered. Our foreheads touching. I gave him a peck on the lips and smiled.

"I'll take that as a yes" He said leaning back in for another kiss. Then there was a lot of movement around us.

"Has anyone seen the princess? Keep looking" They called out to one another. We looked at each other. Percy was about to go for the door when I pulled him back to me.

"Wait. Meet me in my room later. I need to tell you something" I said and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Wait" He said before I put my hand on the door knob.

"I'll stay back. You go out first. I'll come in the meeting late"

"You sure?"

"Wouldn't want your father to find out" He snapped his fingers with a grin. I stepped to him.

"I'll tell him soon. He has to accept. I don't care if you're a knight" I said and hugged him. He hugged me back tightly. I pulled back and he hid behind the stack of mops. I looked up and pulled the rope shutting the light off and turned to the door and opened it. I came out and a couple of knights came forward and made sure I was okay. I kept repeating that I was. They asked if I needed to go to the infirmary. I closed the door behind me. One knight came in with my father. My father came running beside me and kept looking around me.

"Where were you? I thought you were kidnapped by one of Krono's knights" He said looking at me. I shook my head.

"No, Dad, I'm fine really. I just needed some time alone"

"Well, you could've advised me before hand. You scared me and your mother" I noticed that Susan was beside my father.

"I apologize" I whispered.

"It's okay. Just next time tell me. C'mon everyone is in the big room just around the corner" He said taking my hand. I walked in between Susan and my dad. I looked behind me and saw the janitor closet open a little bit. Percy's head peeked out. I smiled as he caught my eye. He waved and ran into the other hallway.

Thalia's POV:

He's the spy. Andy. Leo's story was crazy. I didn't want to believe Jason and the other are back there behind enemy lines. How could we have trusted him. We don't know the other spy. We went to the big room. Annabeth was with Percy no doubt. But I let the king and the others do their search. I smirked when they came in with Annabeth, but it went away because they came in without Percy. Annabeth walked over to me and sat next to me and Leo. Me, Piper, Reyna, Leo all looked at her puzzle. She leaned close to us.

"He'll come in later" She whispered. We all nodded. The king sat in the big chair next to Susan. All the knights surrounded the table and Rachel sat next to an open seat. I'm guessing where Percy will be. I don't know her that well. I hear she just joined the kingdom from a poor family. I guess she's okay to me. The king stood up and so did everyone else.

"You are all here because we have something sir Leo would like to talk about. Welcome back sir Leo" He said pointing to Leo. We all clapped. We all sat down except Leo. He straightened his tunic.

"I have very bad news-"

"Wait, where's Percy?" The king asked. They all looked around. We didn't look around because we knew he was running late. I heard footsteps running toward the big room. Percy rushed in while trying to fix his suit.

"I'm here. Sorry I'm late" He said walking over to the empty seat next to Rachel. He scooted closer to the table and laced his hands together. He looked over at Annabeth and us and smiled.

"No need to be sorry we were just getting started. Leo" The king pointed to Leo. We all turned back to him.

"Well, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted" Leo grinned at Percy. Percy chuckled.

"I have bad news" Leo braced himself and looked at everyone of us, "Sir Andy is one of the spies" The room stayed quiet. I looked over at the King. He kept his composure.

"Andy kept giving information to Kronos in secret. We are in grave danger if this other spy is still here in this castle" Leo finished. The king looked at the queen.

"Andy also said that this person had poisoned Percy. Which is also why Percy almost died when he was stable" Leo continued.

"We have a plan" Percy said joining the discussion. They all turned to him.

"Leo knows that the Kronos army is planning on having the war near sea. So if they need to retreat it's an easy get away. So, we need to make sure we block the sea and behind us is our weaponry. We know that, but they don't" Percy grinned and when the King and Queen weren't looking he winked at Annabeth.

"First our idea is to get Frank, Luke, and Jason back. We were set up during our plan with Kronos. He knew we were there for a job. Andy ambushed us and I managed to escape. They are still back there" Leo said.

"We need to be careful about this. I can't have anyone hurt this time. Or dead. I want to be careful with our decisions" The king said and laced his hands together.

"Sir. I've studied the place in my spare time. I know how to get in. We got out behind our tent. It's close to a shore. There we can surround it and ambush them" Leo said still standing. Percy also stood up and turned to Leo.

"He's right Leo. We need to be careful-"

"Yesterday you were all about the risks. Why change of mind?"

"I just don't want anyone to get killed for our silly mistakes"

"Understandable" Leo muttered under his breath. Just then Rachel stood up.

"Any one care for drinks? Blue wine?" We all hated Blue wine. I'm just doing this to be nice.

"Yeah I could go for some blue wine" I said showing a glare at everyone. They all nodded. Rachel went over to the counter and started taking out some glasses in a see through cabinet.

"Yeah, so, Your Majesty what do you think about the plan?" Percy asked. The king pondered for a moment and looked back and forward at the queen and us. Then he smiled.

"If you promise, that no one will get hurt" He grinned. Leo and Percy both nodded. I could tell they were going to do a victory dance later. Rachel came in with our, ugh, blue wine. She set mine in front of me. Blue wine showed through glass. Percy's however was darker in blue. The king rose and told us to rise. He raised his glass.

"To Percy and Leo" He smiled. We all looked at Percy and Leo. We raised our glass.

"To Percy and Leo" We repeated and drank our wine. I gagged inside. I'm guessing everyone did as well because they flinched at the taste of it. I set down my halfway finished cup. They all cheered. I smiled at Annabeth and she grinned.

"Everyone needs to get training-" Leo looked over at Percy and held his hand up. We all turned to him.

"Percy, mate, you alright? Your eyes are black" he said going over to him and examining Percy. Percy grinned.

"You guys are wasting your time on this King" He sneered at King Fredrick. We all gasped at his words.

"Percy what's going on?" I said going over to him. Rachel stepped in between us.

"Percy ,push Leo against the wall for me will you. For me" Then Percy grinned and grabbed Leo's shirt and slammed him against the wall.

"Hey! I just ironed this shirt!" Leo complained trying to get Percy's grip off of him.

"Percy!" The king yelled running over to the two boys. He tried to get Percy away from Leo. Then Annabeth yelled for them to stop.

"Rachel is the spy! She had the trance potion and put it in Percy's drink. He's being possessed!" They all looked at Rachel. She shrugged.

"Percy, Love, time to go home" She said. Both of them ran out the big room. Percy took out riptide and turned to us.

Annabeth's POV:

I stared at Percy as he took out Riptide. He glared at us. He turned to Rachel and smiled.

"Go I'll take care of them" He grinned. Rachel looked at one person, me. She cupped Percy's face and kissed him right in front of me. How did she know about me and him? I clenched my fist as she kissed the guy I loved. What hurt the most is Percy didn't pull back. I had to remember that he was being possessed. He didn't know what he was doing. Rachel grinned and left. A few knights chased after her. I remembered how Percy told me the only way to get out of the trance is to snap three times. I ran into the crowd as they were fighting Percy. I looked at Percy as he threw one person over his head and onto the floor. I took out my dagger and fought through the crowd and made my to Percy. He spotted me and swung his sword, not the best swings, but they were hard swings. He swung at my head and I ducked. I swung at his arm and it went past him.

"Just stop princess. It's embarrassing to see you fight" He grinned. I wish this potion never existed. I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. He fell over in pain. I'm sorry Percy, I thought in my head. I got on top of him and snapped my fingers. Nothing. He pushed me off and grinned.

"Why isn't it working?" I whispered. Leo ran over to me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the fight. He pulled me into a around a corner where Reyna, Piper, Thalia were taking cover with their weapons in their hands.

"What is going on?" Leo whispered sharply. I turned to him.

"Long story short, Percy got this potion from Nico to put Rachel under a trance. He lost the potion and then it was in Rachel's hands and Percy is in the trance" I said quickly. Leo looked out the corner to see if we were ok still.

"So, It's Percy. Kronos once told us Percy was strong. The trance potion is too strong to get out of. Something has to happen, something so strong"

"How about a kiss?" I asked unexpectedly. They all turned to me.

"Kiss? Who's going to kiss Percy he doesn't have-" Leo slowly stopped his sentence.

"You. You guys are together" Reyna said, "That's why Rachel looked at you when she kissed him"

"mhmm... if this doesn't work I don't know what will" I said and went around the corner. They followed me.

"Wait. What about your dad?" Thalia asked from behind me. I stopped and shrugged.

"He was bound to find out about us. I just wish it wasn't this way" I said running back to the fight. Percy hurt half of the army. Someone caught my arm. I turned and saw my father.

"Annabeth get away from here. It isn't safe"

"Dad let me go. I know how to fix this" I said trying to get away from his grip. He stood his ground.

"No, I'm your father I am telling you to get away from here" He yelled. I took out my dagger and he let me go putting his arms up in surrender.

"Dad, stop protecting me so much. I'm going to be like you someday. Let me do this" My hand was shaking. My dad tried to come close.

"Put the dagger down, Annabeth. I don't want to lose you, like I did to with your mother" I closed my eyes at the mention of my mother.

"I need to do this" I said running to Percy.

"ANNABETH!" My Dad yelled. Running after me. I was far from him. I've been doing some running in my spare time. I was faster. I spotted Percy fighting a few Knights. He was close to taking them all out. He was all bloody and his eye was swollen. I ran up to him. He turned to me and our lips crashed together. He stumbled back a little, but regained his balance. I closed my eyes as we kissed, Please work. Suddenly he returned the kiss. It worked. I heard Riptide drop to the floor. He pulled back and opened his eyes. I looked into his sea green eyes, the ones I fell in love with and smiled. He smiled too.

"Annabeth?" I turned around and saw my father slowly making his way through the crowd. I let my arms fall off of Percy's shoulder slowly. Percy still held me by the waist with one arm. Everyone looked at us, jaws dropped. A few knights came running in.

"Your Majesty. She escaped"

How's the king going to act? Sorry if the ending was crappy. OHHH, well hope you enjoyed this one. I want to say again I'm sorry very very sorry. I'm trying hard to update faster. I really am. I am also starting this new story after this one. It's called "Seeing you" It is still with the PJO characters. I will add the summary of the story when this one is almost done.
