Hey guys, I'm sorry has taken me so long to update but I'm trying to get fast at writing. So has everyone read Mark of Athena? OMG when I finished it I was crying. So what did you guys think of it. I love the rivalry between Percy and Jason

So anyway some of you guys have been asking about what's happening to Percy and why he's acting different. Okay so someone kidnapped him, knowing fully well that they couldn't harm him unless they found his mortal stop so they messed with his mind changing him so that they could control him.

Annabeth's POV.

Percy didn't take the news very well; he rushed towards the door and looked like he was going to rip it off its hinges and hunt down the guy that just came. I stood in front of the door stopping him from leaving, because if he did leave, I had no idea if he would come back alive. I stood there blocking his exit.

"Annabeth, I don't want to hurt you. So please move out of my way" Percy said quietly and since he said please it made it even scarier.

"No Percy, I'm not letting you leave" I told him, firmness in my voice. I could tell that the moment I said that it was the wrong move. He put his hands next to my face on the door, trapping me there and he leaned in close.

"You don't want to get me angry Annabeth" He whispered. I looked up into his eyes and saw that instead of being that beautiful sea green, they were dark, very dark. He wasn't my Seaweed Brain.

"Percy, Percy please" I said to him, trying to get him back.

"Move now, Annabeth" Percy whispered, his voice hard and cold. I stared at him, trying to think of a way to get my Seaweed Brain back. So I kissed him. I felt him tense but I didn't stop kissing him. He pushed me off him, slamming me into the door hard, it knocked the breath right out of me and my shoulder blade began to burn. I looked at Percy and he still had dark eyes that were boring into me. He reached into his pocket and grabbed riptide and took off the cap. I stared at him in horror he wouldn't hurt me, would he. He raised riptide at me and went to swing and my brain kicked into defence mode. As riptide came down I ducked and stuck my leg out and tripped Percy over. Percy crashed to the ground. I looked up and saw that Percy had dropped riptide I got up and put my knee on Percy's chest trying to stop him from moving however Percy tried to overpower me using his upper body strength because I hadn't tried to stop his arms from moving when I pinned him down. I looked around for riptide and saw that it was just near my foot. With Percy's concentration on trying to get me off him and kicked riptide over to me and picked it up with me hand. I then placed it on his throat and slapped his face.

"Snap out of it Percy" I yelled at him and slapped his face again. Percy didn't speak but I saw his eyes become lighter.

"Annabeth, that sword isn't going to help you much" Percy said lightly after a while giving me his signature grin. I dropped riptide next to us and kissed him as if my life depended on it.

"So was this our first fight as a couple?" Percy said after we broke apart.

"You mean our first not practise fight?" I ask and smiled.

"Yeah, I think so" I answered him.

"Can we have makeup sex?" Percy asked jokingly.

"Mmm...no" I told him and kissed his cheek I got off him and went over to the couch and sat down. I grabbed a slice of pizza and began to eat it. By the time I had finished it Percy came over with a can of Dr. Pepper and sat down next to me.

"Why is it always us?" Percy asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Why can't the gods and monsters leave us alone, I mean come on can't we just live a normal life for a while?" Percy said.

"I know, it seams like the world just needs someone to save them, and that someone is you
