Oh shizzaple. Hopefully you guys aren't too annoyed with me. I mean, I-I can give you some candy left over from Halloween! *raises bag of candy shakily*

redlox2: I...am not going to answer your question, since it will be answered in the chapter below.

Eleos: Erm, 'sock day'? Oookay then...Anyways, my marvelously evil plan shall unfold painstakingly slowly...MUAHAHAHA! *twirls fancy mustashe with a black cat in my lap, sitting in a fancy leather chair in front of a random fireplace with creepy music in the backround*

HAWTgeek: *gasp* BLUE Oreos? Why DON'T they make them! They'd be AWESOME! And yes indeed, the Ass is very cruel. I..don't know if I have the overall amount of patience needed to answer your questions, especially since I haven't done my homework, it is just a tad after 6pm and there's a 99.9% chance that I won't do it just because that's how lazy I am. I have a bajillion missing assignments...Anyways, that's what I was thinking! Gaea is so retarded! I mean, what IS her goal? Why does she want to rule the world? Is it just because of revenge of the gods? Isn't that a little immature of her? Why am I asking you all these questions? Maybe I should write a letter to Riordan...Lol, overheating? I'll...well, I'll consider the possibility, but he can't die, he just can't. Also, I'm TRYING to write Orphans, but I'm just so confuzzled (I like making up words) and I'm not sure what to do but I just got an idea and it is GOOD! Can't wait to put up the chapter when I have the time! :D Yeah...pretty nice format, bud. This is too long to even try to out-geek you, so sorry to disappoint.

: Oh yes, very proud of myself. In fact, I am chuckling evilly and giving my best buddy Gaea a fist pump right at the moment. Meh, whatever. It's hard to do sarcasm over the internet. :P

Giggles123: Merde, je suis dans le pétrin. Et j'étais sur d'avoir quelques céréales Captain Crunch, aussi. Dang elle. (go look up Google translate if you have to, lol) I'm sorry! But torturing the readers is like, Author 101! I had to!

TheGirlWhoWantedToCry: Oh I bought Son of Neptune. *sing song voice* it. was. awesome! Urgh, but it's Author 101 to torture readers! I'm sorry but that's like, the whole point of torturous suspense! *whimpers and cowers behind my cat*

Leo-Valdez-is-so-HOT: O.O um...right. I'll tell her you said that. *walks away from computer with a bewildered expression* Um, Annabeth? A reviewer said that...

Hidden in the flameS meSTDSD: O.O i won't even try to read that. I only read about halfway through...Then my eyes started hurting *groans and turns away* Anyways, sorry, but I'll CONSIDER it.

ENJOY MY PEOPLES!

Odium woke up exactly fifteen minutes later. He didn't like to sleep very long. He looked down when he felt weight on him and saw the blonde demigod cuddled into his side, sleeping peacefully.

He pushed her off, saying quietly with a scrunched up nose, "Disgusting!"

She frowned in her sleep and pulled his arm towards her. He looked down at the handcuffs and smirked. Pulling a small knife out of his belt, he sliced through the cuffs easily like it was butter. He chuckled evilly, sticking the knife back in its hiding place.

He got up and silently walked away, whistling an unknown tune innocently.

Don't you dare leave her there.

He rolled his eyes. That stupid demigod was still inside of him.

We are two persons stuck in one body. Good and evil. Good always wins.

The kid was right. Well, the first part was right, anyways. Sally Jackson was unknowingly a titan. How was she unknowingly a titan, you ask? Because Gaea took away her powers, therefore lowering her aura, and changed her memories to make her think she had always been mortal.

When Odium and Percy were born, they were two personas stuck in one body. One evil, one good. And then there was that damned ancient prophecy...

You know how much I love her. Just let me have two minutes with her.

No way. Two minutes could be enough for Percy to take control of the body. He'd already had his fun for seventeen years. Now it was his turn.

Then...why don't we blend? We'll be neutral, good and evil.

No thanks. He'd rather enjoy his free reign for as long as possible.

Can I at least enter her dreams?

Sure. Have fun.

Odium was relieved when he felt the good side of him leave, that conscience that kept him from demolishing, and he cackled evilly, a storm coming just from his aura.

Now he could have some fun.

Annabeth's POV

I was still in the glade in my dream, but Percy was there. My Percy.

He sat there, one leg straight out, the other bent at a ninety degree angle with his elbow hanging off it. He let a small smirk slip through, and the smirk was nothing like Odium's.

He wore the exact opposite of Odium's outfit. He had a white button down shirt that was tucked into white jeans, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows with the first couple of buttons left undone. His hair was ruffled slightly from the gentle breeze, and he grinned at me.

"Hey Wise Girl."

I launched myself at him, kissing him fiercely. He broke away, laughing, and hugged me against him, "Okay, calm down! I have to explain everything to you and I don't have much time."

I settled into his side with my head on his shoulder, "Who's Odium?"

"He's...me, basically. I mean, we're good and evil stuck in one body. It's what makes us so powerful. When evil powers and good powers strike against each other, they get the opposite intention of destroying. Instead, they get more powerful, because they suck some of the power from each other. Confusing? No kidding. But anyways, Odium just wants to have his fun, and without me inside him to stop him from doing destruction, for all you know he could be destroying the camp like in your dream. So I have to make this quick, love.

"Now, the ring and my Achilles spot was good thinking. If you get enough things together that mean a lot to me, then I might be able to break through Odium. But I'm not destroying him. If he dies, I die. Our lives are kind of tied to each other, and anyways, he's like...an evil brother. I wouldn't do anything to hurt him, and it's the same with him. It would be like trying to stab Malcolm multiple times."

I winced, "Yikes. You must feel kind of stuck at a fork in the road."

"Exactly. But just get everything together. I won't be able to give you hints and I might not be able to visit you again. And don't be so trusting. Odium has you wrapped around his little finger. You have to remember that he isn't me, or he will kill you."

I woke up, Percy's warning expression burned into my thoughts.

Odium was just about to zap a camper to ashes when he felt a presence stopping him. He glared, you're back.

Duh. I can't let you kill our cousin.

He's idiotic. Has so much potential, and wastes it on moping around.

Well...ever since Reyna, he's been a little bit better.

But you agree that he's wasting his potential?

...Just a little. Your aura is starting to mix with mine.

Unfortunately, I could say the same...Is he flirting with that older girl? The fool!

That's Nico for you. Ooo! He just got slapped! I wish I had a camera.

Whatever. Since you won't let me kill anyone, what did you tell your little girlfriend?

Our little girlfriend, stupid. And I told her how to make me come back. Didn't give her any hints, though.

Good.

Yep. We'd better get back to her. I hate it when she cries, it's pathet—dammit we're morphing! I told you this would happen if you took over!

It's worth being evil. And fine, we'll go find the stupid demigod.

Annabeth's POV

Odium came back, looking rather annoyed.

I swallowed, "Is he there in you right now?"

"Duh. You're pretty dimwitted. Even for a demigod."

I glared at him, "Shut up. You're not even strong enough to fight Percy."

"Will you shut up, Annabeth! Do you want to get killed?" We turned to see a ghostly figure of Percy, still in the white clothes. He glared at me, snapping, "Watch your tongue."

Odium smirked, "As you can see, our auras, or souls, are morphing together. The more I turn good, the more he turns evil."

True enough, there was a sliver of red in Percy's eyes, as thick as the sea green in Odium's.

Percy took a deep breath, "Annabeth, don't taunt us like that. It's reckless...and exactly what I would do. Put your wisdom to good use."

"But it's so confusing!"

"Duh," they both said. "Why should life be easy?"

"Don't do that. It's creepy."

Percy knelt down next to me, "Wise Girl, stay safe. I love you."

"I love you too, Percy," I whispered.

He smiled lopsidedly like the goofball I love, and his eyes were sparkling so merrily that I couldn't help but grin back the same way. Yeah, we're just a pair of goofy goobers when we're around each other.

"Oh, gods, I think I'm going to puke," Odium muttered, averting his eyes.

Percy suddenly whispered, glowering at me, "Run."

I blinked, "What?"

Surely Odium's puke couldn't be that bad, right?

"Run," he said firmly, eyes slowly turning red.

Or maybe was it something else he wanted me to run from?

I looked at Odium to see his own eyes pulsing into different shades of red. Maroon, scarlet, crimson, cherry red...Something bad was about to happen.

I cursed under my breath in Greek, staggered to my feet, and ran as fast as I could, as I my life depended on it, which it probably did.

Then there was an explosion that knocked me off my feet, my head knocking violently against a rock, causing me to slip into my dark prison.
