Chapter 12: Percy

Love is a very tricky thing, I've learned that. Yet, I didn't learn that it could be that strong. When I kissed Annabeth everything was not so confusing, like everything made sense again. Don't get me wrong, I've kissed Annabelle before, but that feeling I felt when I kissed her was nothing compared to this. Memories flooded back as we touched lips, but it was so over whelming I had to pull away and leave. Trust me, though. Leaving Annabeth so sad and broken hearted was the last thing I wanted to do.

The waves crashed against the shore and nearly reached my bare feet as I sat under the moonlight on the beach. Thinking everything through, my wants, my needs, my fears, everything. But the thing that my mind kept going back to was Annabeth, her beautiful gray eyes and her long blonde hair. The way she got red and clenched her teeth when she got mad was more than adorable. But I knew I couldn't have her, I had Annabelle, I guess.

"Hey baby," Annabelle's voice rang throughout the silent night as she neared me. Her petite body sat down next to mine and I looked deeply into her eyes. They are nothing like Annabeths'; hers I could get lost in forever, but Annabelle was different. She still smiled and took my hand in hers. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing Anna, I'm fine." Fine was the word I would put, but it summed up that I just wanted to go home, yet she didn't get my message in words or looks.

"Babe, you never say 'nothing' unless there is something wrong with you," she countered and flicks a spot of sand off of her camp T-shirt. She raised her eyebrows in my direction. "Please tell me."

"Really, I'm fine Annabelle," I spoke and gazed out into the darkness of the sea, but Annabelle slid in front of me and placed her hands in mine.

"Baby, please tell me," she said and in her eyes I actually saw real worry, but the way she said 'baby' made me physically wince.

"Where's Annabeth?" I asked and stood up, leaving Annabelle on the ground pouting. I grabbed her hands and pulled her up with me. She took my hand and rubbed circles on the back of it with her thumb.

"I don't know, I just saw her exit the forest with Josh," she said shyly and smiled innocently. A flare of red covered my vision at the thought of Annabeth, MY Annabeth, with another guy! But Josh, couldn't she have picked a decent guy?

Josh is the son of…Ares! No surprise there! He's tough and burly, but a loud mouth bully that doesn't care for a girl other than her looks, especially the Aphrodite cabin. But anyway, he's rude and Annabeth shouldn't have to put up with that! Nothing at all like that!

"Which way did they go?" I asked, ignoring the annoyed flare in her eyes.

"I don't know and I don't care," she said and wrapped her arms around my neck, trying to kiss me by getting closer. I stepped back and untangled her arms from around my neck, she pouted like a five year old. "Percy-bear please stop thinking about her! I'm your girlfriend! You should be ignoring her and thinking all about me! Is that you still love her?"

"That is not what I-" I stopped in the middle of my sentence, her eyes settled into a familiar place as I pondered her meaning to her words. "Still?"

She stuttered as her eyes grew wide, she just said still. Confusion masked her face as I asked the question again, she tried to pull the innocent look, but I knew that there was way more than a pretty face with Annabelle.

"Annabelle," I said slowly, trying to tone down the anger that was building inside because of the fact that she was lying to me and she knew it as well. "What do you mean by still?"

"Percy, it doesn't matter, I messed up with words! You know me, I'm not perfect!" She was screaming now, her face bright red, lit up like a Christmas tree! "No! I'm not fighting with you about her! I will not let her steal you from me! Not again…"

Her eyes returned to the grazed over look, but as I blinked she was back to normal. I curled my hands into fists and tired so hard not to over think this. But before I decided to punch the living Hades out of Annabelle I walked away. My eyes red, blurry.

I would find Annabeth and take back what was rightfully mine.

"Leo?" I asked the boy that had introduced himself as the son of Hephaestus. He cocked a slightly burnt eyebrow at me and I just sighed in defeat and sat beside him by the ambers of the fire. "I need your help…"

"You need my help?" He asked my hopelessly damaged ego. He smirked slightly at the thought and raised a small flame from the pit. "The all-powerful, Perseus Jackson, the son of the sea god, the son of…Neptune!"

"Or Poseidon," I admitted woefully at the thought that I had been a Greek warrior. It sounded awesome, better than a Roman one.

"Yeah, that too," he said cheerfully as if nothing was wrong with the world. "So why do you need my help?"

"Because I'm hopelessly devoted to the girl that was mine, but then I lost her, then found her again, so she was mine again, then I pushed away, so I lost her once again," I breathed a sigh of relief, but Leo just looked plain confused.

"Wait so, are you talking about Annabeth?" He asked curelessly. I nodded my head and he shook his head with a chuckle. "Percy, Percy, Percy. What am I going to do with you? Wait a second and I'll get Piper, she's the daughter of Aphrodite she knows all about this kind of stuff."

"We don't have time Leo!" I shouted as he stood up, he looked at me wide-eyed and wondering. "Annabeth is in trouble. I kind of-"

"Did you kiss her?" He concluded looking deep into my eyes with a brotherly look that made me feel so small.

"Yes, then I pushed her away and so I have no idea where she is and Annabelle is being suspicious she keeps saying a past pretense and it's making me nervous."

He nodded and ran off saying he would find Piper, but my blood ran cold when I heard a scream, it was Annabeth's scream. Somewhere in the forbidden part of camp.
