Chapter 11: To Kill The Killer
"I hate him, Luke…I hate him." Annabeth was still on the floor, sobbing as she held onto her dead brother's body.
Luke was in her dorm, trying to comfort her.
But there was no use in doing so. Her brother just died right before her eyes, because of Percy. Luke wanted to kill Percy, wondering why he would do such a thing. Yes, whenever Percy got angry he did some terrible things but nothing to this extent.
Annabeth was shaking with anger and sadness. She truly felt that if there was a feeling beyond loathing someone so much you wouldn't care if they were tortured endlessly, she'd feel that way towards Percy.
"Why would…why would he do this?!" Annabeth cried even more. Luke knelt down, wrapping his arms around Annabeth, and kissing her forehead softly.
"What he did was a terrible thing, no excuses…but, let this not be all about him, alright? We need to care for you, Annabeth." Luke wanted to be soft towards her, wanting her to calm down. Her reaction to what he said wasn't what he expected, though.
She glared at him with such fierceness; he wanted to back up almost.
"If you're thinking this is going to be about me, then you're wrong. Percy killed him." Annabeth didn't even dare say her brother's name because she knew she was going to break down again. Tears brimmed her eyes, and she tried to swallow back the sobs even though it was hard to do so.
Luke and Annabeth were on the floor for hours when Luke noticed something.
Malcolm's index finger twitched.
"Did you just see that?" Luke asked Annabeth. She wiped her eyes, shaking her head.
"What did you see?"
"He...Malcolm-"
Malcolm's eyes flew open as he gasped for air. He went up, sitting straight.
Annabeth gasped, shock and unbelief hitting her like a cannon.
Luke, although happy to see that Malcolm was alive, was purely confused. In all of his life living, he's never seen anything like this.
Malcolm was dead.
And he would've acted differently and both Annabeth and Luke would've known if he turned into a vampire.
"What happened?" Malcolm replied, his eyes wide with fear as he looked around the dorm.
"It's going to be alright, Malcolm." Luke put a hand on Malcolm's shoulder, and he jumped.
"But…I remember-"
Annabeth cut him off, by tackling him with a hug.
"I'm so glad you're here…never ever leave." Annabeth smiled, laughing as she cried.
Luke picked Malcolm up after their sister-brother moment, and Annabeth stood up, not able to take her eyes off of her brother.
"I remember Percy, and how he-"
Annabeth tensed at the name, forgetting all about Percy.
"Let's talk about that later, okay? You need your rest, Malcolm." Annabeth told him he could sleep in her bed for the night, and though it took some time, he obliged.
He went out like a light, and Annabeth and Luke left the room, quietly closing the door.
"Is Malcolm…is he a vampire?" Annabeth asked a little frightened.
"No, no he's not. He would've been craving for blood and be very…unstable."
"Then how is he…alive?"
"I don't know yet. But…it might have to do with your family line."
"What?"
"You guys are related to Anthelia, remember? She came from a long line of vampire hunters and one of her best friends was a witch…maybe she…I don't know."
Annabeth raised her eyebrows.
"A witch?"
"Yeah…Katherine Dare."
"Like Rachel Dare?"
Luke nodded.
Annabeth figured Rachel was something special because of the prophecy she spoke hours ago, so she wasn't too surprised.
"Speaking about that…Rachel told me some sort of Prophecy-thing."
Luke looked curious, but didn't want to speak about Rachel for too long.
They still needed to keep their attention on Malcolm.
"We can talk about that tomorrow, alright? But we need to help your brother…He remembers everything."
Annabeth hesitated, but shook her head and locked her fingers into Luke's.
She didn't want to think about Percy right now.
Or ever.
He just made her angry and she hated him.
"We do, Luke…thank you. I just want to say, though...I'm sorry about treating you differently when I found out what you were…who you are. I love you for the sweet and kind and amazing vampire you are, Luke. I shouldn't have been…I shouldn't be afraid of you."
Annabeth touched his face, while standing on the tips of her toes. The both of them knew how careful she was around him, and none of them liked that.
Hearing what she had to say made Luke smile. She accepted him.
She made him happy.
Annabeth kissed him gently on the lips.
Luke deepened it, and pushed her against the wall.
As they were kissing, they heard Malcolm coughing really loudly on the other side.
Luke reluctantly pulled away from the kiss, and Annabeth blushed with a tint of red in her cheeks.
"Goodnight, Luke…thanks, again."
"See you later, Annabeth…goodnight, and stay safe."
He kissed her check quickly, and in a blink of an eye he was gone.
Annabeth went back to her dorm, and walked towards Malcolm.
She kissed his forehead, and ruffled his hair.
"Goodnight."
Although she could have slept on Rachel's bed, which was in the other side of the room, she didn't want anything to happen to her brother so she decided sleeping on a chair near her bed would be fit.
But Annabeth couldn't sleep.
Too much happened that night, and it was all because of one person.
Percy Jackson.
She had such strong feelings for him that it was too much for her. How she hated him was astounding, and she didn't want to see him ever.
There was only one person she hated ever, but it wasn't as much as this. It was when she was in the 8th grade, and this guy she thought was her friend punched her. But she obviously punched him back. She never talked to him ever again although they had all these classes together. Annabeth Chase hated him so much he didn't even seem to exist to her.
But something in the back of her mind knew she couldn't do the same with Percy. He'd probably keep on doing bad things and Annabeth would yell and scream and rampage because he was that frustrating.
Annabeth's eyes drooped, and soon she fell asleep while thinking about Jackson.
Annabeth asked Chiron and Mr. D if her and her brother could skip classes. It took some time to convince them, but she managed to pull it off.
She ran up to her room expecting to still see Malcolm sleeping considering it was 6 in the morning.
"Malcolm? Where are you?" She searched her room, and then went downstairs to look for Luke.
She had no desire to run into Percy this early in the morning, or ever, but she did.
Neither Luke nor Malcolm was in their dorms, so Annabeth checked the library.
They weren't their either, so she was going outside.
She then ran into Percy.
Annabeth took a step back and was about to apologize until she saw who she accidently bumped into.
Percy Jackson was still wearing the same attire; black, black, and more black.
He had an unreadable expression on his face as he looked at her.
Annabeth's facial expression hardened as she was walking past him, but he took her arm.
"Let go of me." She snarled.
"We need to talk." He begged.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, trying to push past him. He was much stronger than her, so it was a struggle.
"You snapped my brother's neck, and he…do you really expect me to talk to you?"
"You're talking to me now."
"I meant in the friendly way."
"Look, Annabeth…I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I need it." Percy was usually the one to never show emotions, but at the moment, he was. Even he had no idea why he killed Malcolm, and he was sorry about it. His eyes were filled with so much guilt and pain, but Annabeth didn't care the slightest bit.
"We're not friends, we're not even acquaintances, and I am not going to give you my forgiveness even if the world was ending…I hate you, Percy Jackson…I truly hate you." Percy let go, and Annabeth walked away to go outside.
He didn't know why, but what she did hurt. It hurt because he knew he had feelings for her and because she meant it.
But Percy kept claiming in his head he didn't mean to kill Malcolm, although he did.
Percy was always the type to get off the tracks whenever something bad happened, even he knew that. But he knew he wouldn't kill Malcolm.
Yes, Percy has killed some people. When he started out as a vampire, he drained people's blood, but then he stopped doing that and merely drank a tiny pint of people's blood.
He wasn't as bad as people thought he was. Actually, he was better than Luke a long time ago.
Jackson shook his head, opening the door to his dorm and getting in.
He closed the door behind him, to see the one and only Anthelia Minerva.
Percy stopped in his tracks, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at her up and down. She had a smug smile on her face as she crossed her arms.
"Hello, Perseus…we need to talk."
"Anthelia?"
"Who did you expect, Perseus?
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, Katherine did a great job on you, didn't she?" Anthelia had a sly smile on her face as examined Percy. Although Percy didn't know what she was talking about, he knew he needed to act tough.
"Listen, Anthelia. You and I both know I'm much stronger than you'll ever be…either you leave or I'll take you down like it's nothing."
"Oh, you're tough no doubt about it…but I have a witch on my side…I've been controlling you for the past couple of weeks, and it's so sad no one caught on…everybody thought I left, but I was in here all along."
"What are you talking about?"
"Darling, are you telling me you forgot my best friend Katherine? She was a powerful witch, and managed to live a century by my side. She did some sort of spell, making you do as I say."
Percy furrowed his eyebrows as Katherine stepped out of his bathroom.
"Hello, Perseus." Katherine nodded, and Percy shook his head.
It was extremely weird for him to see her again after so long. He remembered how Katherine was always doing everything for Anthelia, and it was almost sad that she was still doing that after so long.
"You controlled me…why?"
Anthelia smirked, stepping closer to Jackson.
"Oh, you never learn, do you? I wanted you to tell Annabeth you loved her and get her all confused…then kill her and Malcolm." Anthelia shrugged, acting if everything was natural. Katherine and her sat on the side of his bed, while Percy was glaring at the both of them.
"Why?"
"Annabeth and Malcolm are dangerous…to me and to Luke."
"I didn't kill her." Percy replied sharply.
"Don't you think I'm aware of that? It wasn't too surprising though. You love her too much to ever hurt even a small hair on her head."
"I don't…and I never will…love her." Percy was shaking with anger, baring his fangs.
Katherine disappeared in a flash, but Anthelia didn't plan on leaving. Percy had her pinned against his wall in a millisecond, his fangs still out and eyes filled with death.
"You wouldn't hurt me, Perseus." Anthelia spat, trying to get some air.
"Are you sure about that, Anthelia? I can rip out your heart from your chest in a second without even having a second thought about it…I don't love you like I did before."
"But you still do…I know you do. You've been stuffed with guilt for a century because you killed me. You changed because of me…you wouldn't dare try killing me. Especially when I look like the girl you supposedly don't love."
Percy put her against the wall harsher, spitting in her face.
"I don't love anybody…especially you, Anthelia…you made me kill Malcolm."
"He's not dead…it was a test."
Percy loosened his tight grip on her.
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew that killing Malcolm wouldn't matter because he'd come back to life. It's in his blood…he comes from vampire hunters, and he has the mark. Whenever a vampire or anything supernatural tries and kills him…he only comes back to life."
"Why did you want me to kill him if you knew he'd come back to life? And what mark are you talking about?"
She laughed maniacally, as if being put up against the wall by her former lover who wants to kill her was an everyday experience.
"I'm not going to answer any questions until you let me go, I'll just tell you one fun fact that you need to keep in mind for the future, Perseus…whenever a supernatural being such as yourself tries killing him, he doesn't only come back to life…he also tries killing his killer."
Dun Dun DUUUUNNNN. So, what do you guys think of this chapter? Hehe, if it was confusing or anything, just shoot me a PM or review or anything really, and ask. Honestly, Anthelia is such an interesting person to write out, I love her. Are some of you guys still mad at Percy though? And what do you think will happen in the next chapter? Remember, keep voting, and REVIEW! BYE, YOU GUYS! REVIEW!
