A/N Hey guys! I didn't die and come back a year later! Instead, I came back in one day. I want to dedicate this chapter to Daughter of Poseidon! My new beta and my mortal enemy! Inside joke! Thanks for giving me this idea! So here we go! This chapter will be in Percy's POV because I feel like it.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own PJO okay? The only people I own are the sons of Nike mentioned later!
A woman in full battle armada stormed into the room, with owls following close behind her. Her sparkling grey eyes showed through her helmet, and an owl landed on her shoulder, head twitching like birds head's tend to do. She went straight towards Aphrodite. I motioned for Annabeth to get up, but she shook her head no. Meanwhile, Aphrodite armed herself with perfume and vibrating mascara. Suddenly, an idea hit me. I kicked the wall. It crumbled, causing dust to cover us. I heard Annabeth cough. When it cleared, I saw Athena towering over Aphrodite, sword to vibrating mascara. I picked up Annabeth and jumped out of the improvised escape route.
"Annabeth, what are we going to do? How are we going to get rid of the curse?" I asked frantically.
"Is there still make-up on me?" she asked.
"Yeah, sorry," I replied
She kicked a rock. "I hate this! It's not me!" Controlled by her anger, she punched some random kid walking by. He yelled and some buff kids ran over. Children of Nike. Great.
"Did she just push Pedro?" One of them asked.
"Yeah! I did!" She yelled before I could cover her mouth. He glared and helped Pedro up. Then he crossed the line, he pushed Annabeth. My eyes narrowed.
"You did not just do that. Do you even know who she is?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, some Aphrodite newbie!" Annabeth's eyes started to water. I turned to her.
"Pull out your dagger." I said. She did, and the kids laughed.
"That thing is puny! Like you could kill anything with that!" They sneered. They stopped laughing, when I pulled out Riptide. I looked at Annabeth and a thought passed through us. Let's send them to the infirmary! They cautiously drew their swords.
"You can go first Annabeth, I will finish them off." I instructed. The little kid gulped. Then the oldest kid murmured in his ear, and little Pedro ran off.
Annabeth slashed at the first guy, who I now recognized as Matthew, and got him across the face. His bud lunged at her back, and I knocked his sword out of his hands. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Pedro was back, and this time he brought some friends. They lunged at Annabeth and I stared in amazement as she battled all seven of them, without breaking a sweat. To my right there was a crowd, cheering Annabeth on. One kid tried to get her from behind, but she did a flip over his head and gave him a pretty good gash on his back. He howled and his cabin-mates pushed harder. A kid named Brandon cut her beautiful face and I lost it. Before I could intervene, a bolt hit him. Thalia ran beside me, blowing choppy hair out of her face and smirked. Brandon went down. Now there were only three guys left. Annabeth glanced over her shoulder, signaling me to the fight. I calmly walked over, making a mini hurricane, along the way. It shot one kid away and the other started to fight me. I stabbed him in the arm before he could get in a strike. I looked to Annabeth, who had just kicked Matthew to the ground. I pointed Riptide to his throat.
"This dagger saved the world. And my name is Annabeth. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." He gasped and a wave washed him away.
I touched Annabeth's face and her blood dripped down my fingers. I made some water hit it and her cut started to fade away. She looked away and the campers were silent as tears slid down her face. They had never seen her cry before, without a good reason. I hugged her and told her that she still looks like a daughter of Athena to me.
"But I don't look like one to everyone else! It's not fair!"
"Back to your normal activities people! Show's over!" I heard Thalia yell to the campers who had come to watch the show.
"That's it!" I said. "We need to talk to Aphrodite and get this curse lifted!"
When we walked back to my door, Aphrodite was still battling Athena. Annabeth continuous crying snapped them out of fighting. Athena ripped Annabeth out of my arms, and not before giving me a glare started questioning her.
"Did he hurt you? What have you done?" She said turning towards me.
"He did nothing! He has done nothing but helped me! I want this curse to be lifted!" She yelled.
Aphrodite sighed. "I am afraid that's not possible."
A/N HAHAHAHA! I am killing you guys! Sorry for the wait for this chapter. All I want is 70 reviews. That's all. Then I will probably update! R&R!
