Previously on NKAGHS:

"Travis!" Annabeth choked through a sob.

"Annabeth? What's wrong?"

"I can't do it anymore. I can't take the fact that Percy –."

But Annabeth was cut by two beefy hands. One hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to whoever it was and the second was pressed firmly against her mouth. In shock, she dropped her phone and begun to tug at the stiff hand at her mouth. Annabeth's assailant began dragging her farther away from her phone, into the depths of the dark alley way.

Travis's muffled voice carried through the silent alley way.

"Annabeth? Annabeth?!"

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"Annabeth? Annabeth?!" Travis screamed into his phone. He was halfway through the forest, far away from Annabeth. He turned around, dropping his thirty five pound backpack and began to run down the path. While he did this, he dialed Percy's number.

It rang.

"What do you want, Travis?" Percy snapped, coolly.

"Look, Percy, I know you're mad at me but I also know that you love Annabeth!" He gasped. "Don't try to deny it! Everyone knows!"

Percy sighed. "Do you need something?"

"YES!" Travis screamed. "I was on the phone with Annabeth! Then, something just happened. I don't know...but I think Annabeth is in danger."

"This wouldn't happen to be another ploy, would it?" Percy growled.

"No! Something happened. She could be hurt! Don't you care?"

"I...," Percy trailed off. Suddenly, Percy hung up.

"Please god," Travis prayed, looking up at the sky, "Tell me that Percy is going after her." And quickly, Travis began to sprint toward Annabeth.

The man that had attacked Annabeth locked his arms around her body and no matter how hard she struggled and kicked, she couldn't break free from his steel hard grasp. He was suffocating her, her lungs burning up in pure agony. She screamed for help but his clasp over her mouth was so strong that she knew her efforts were useless. Besides, who would walk down this disgusting alley that she was being taken to?

When Annabeth was far away from any human existence, the man finally took his hand off of her mouth and he forcefully slammed herself against the wall. She stifled a scream as her skull crashed against the brick wall. Annabeth caught her breath quickly and looked up to see her assailant. Her attacker was unbelievably tall with thick bands of muscle. A ski mask was covering his face.

"What...what do you want from me?" She tried to sound strong but she was so out of breath that she sounded as pathetic as the Cowardly Lion.

Her attacker, who was obviously a man just by their physical build, just laughed. He slowly edged his way toward her. He looked at Annabeth straight in the eyes and said very plainly, "I want you."

Annabeth gasped. "Who are you!?" She shouted.

"Shhhhh," he whispered. He bent down besides her and began to pull at her blonde hair.

"Don't touch me!" She screamed. She pushed his hand away from her and slapped him.

That was by far the stupidest thing that Annabeth could have done.

Angrily, her attacker hit her. She let out a soft moan and clutched the side of her face. Quickly, the attacker grabbed a hold of Annabeth's neck. He dragged up to her feet by her neck and threw her across the alley. She landed against the wall with a thud. Her head began to spin and a cool trail of blood trickled down her neck.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Please! Stop!" She screamed.

The man just laughed.

"Maybe you should have been a little bit nicer to me before or else I wouldn't have to -."

CRASH! Something hard was thrown at her assailant. It crashed into his shoulder. The man screamed in agony and stumbled, clutching his arm. Annabeth's savior ran forward, throwing themselves straight at her attacker. The man flew and crashed into a pile of trashcans.

"Travis?" Annabeth whispered. But when her hero turned to look at her, Annabeth gasped. "Percy..."

Percy stared at Annabeth with hero filled eyes. He ran to her and knelt, observing her condition. "You-you're bleedly." He gasped. Percy touched the side of Annabeth's face and moved her bloody hair out of her face. "Did...did he hurt you? Are you okay?"

Annabeth shrugged. "I'm fine."

"No, you're not. You need to get to a hospital!"

Annabeth laughed. "No, I don't. I'm fine, really."

"Annabeth, no you're-."

The man must have gotten up because before she knew it someone has wrapped their hands around Percy's shoulders and threw him across the alleyway. Percy crumbled against the side of the dumpster. The man began to saunter over to Percy, a blood-thirsty look in his eyes.

"Percy!" Annabeth screamed. She managed to get to her feet but was still woozy from the first blow to her head. Annabeth stumbled forward and grabbed a hold of a rock, which must have been what Percy threw at the attacker. She positioned herself directly behind the attacker and raised her arm. The man must have detected her because he swiftly spun around and smacked her in her stomach. Annabeth crumbled to the ground.

"Annabeth!" Percy stood up and punched the man so hard in his face that he spun around.

The man collapsed onto the ground.

"Wow," Annabeth whispered. "Nice swing, Perce."

"Annabeth!" Percy shouted as he ran down to sit next to her. "Are you okay?"

Annabeth shrugged. "I'm fine, Percy. There's nothing to worry about."

Percy laughed. He offered her his hand. "Well, let's get you Travis. He was worried about you." Annabeth didn't take it. Instead, she just looked up at his face, longingly. "Annabeth...let's go."

"Percy," Annabeth sighed. She stood up by herself, ignoring Percy's offer. "There's something you should know about Travis and I."

Annabeth could see the uncomfortable expression in Percy's face. He bit his lip. "Annabeth..."

"No, I need to get this. Look, Travis and I...," Annabeth began to play with her blood-stained hair. "W-we aren't actually dating." She pursed her lips and looked down at her feet.

"What are you talking about? Annabeth?"

Annabeth gazed into Percy's eyes. "Well…Thalia and Luke, they tried to hook me up with Travis so they set us up on a blind date. Why they tried to do that? I don't know for sure but we ended up talking and Travis came up with a plan that we could pretend to date." Annabeth felt ashamed and guilty with every word that she said. She focused on Percy's expression, trying to read every emotion that was on his face. "You're not angry, are you? I don't want you to be angry."

"I'm not angry…I'm just…," Percy fiddled with his hands, "Confused. That's all."

Annabeth sighed. Better than being angry, she told herself.

"What are you confused about?" She tried to sound calm but her voice was shaky and her legs felt like jello. Maybe she should visit the hospital. Was she going into shock?

"Why did you do it?" Percy very plainly asked her.

Annabeth hesitated. She knew why she agreed with Travis: she was desperate for Percy to know how she feels. She wanted him so badly. She loves him. But she couldn't confess that to Percy. She felt foolish for believing that Travis's plan would work. She felt like an idiot to believe that something so stupid would have a positive outcome. It was a new low, even for Travis.

Percy sighed. "That's what I thought."

"Percy," Annabeth whispered. She clenched her fists together in tight balls.

Just spit it out, she told herself.

"I – I think I love you," She whispered.

Percy's eyes widened. "You what?"

"I love you." She said louder. Annabeth magically built up enough courage and repeated herself, this time louder and assertively. "I love you Percy Jackson. That's why Travis and I pretended to date because we were trying to make you jealous…. Because I love you."

Percy gaped at Annaebth and suddenly Annabeth didn't feel so good.

"D-do you…," Annabeth trailed off. "You don't."

It wasn't a question.

Annabeth tried not to look at Percy's face. She felt stupid and foolish. Why did she tell Percy how she felt? It's obvious that Percy just viewed her as her friend. "I have to go," she mumbled. She began to make her way past Percy.

"Annabeth!" Percy shouted. He grabbed Annabeth's shoulder. "I love you too."

"W-what?" Her voice cracked. "You do?"

Percy smiled. "Since the first time I've saw you, I couldn't get you out of my head. I think…I think I'm in love you. My Wise Girl."

Annabeth let out a nervous chuckle. "Oh."

"Yeah…."

Annabeth sighed. Why did this have to be so awkward?! Shouldn't Travis be here soon and crack some funny joke to ease the tension?

"Um…thanks," Annabeth mumbled. She glanced at the unconscious assailant. "For saving me."

Percy grinned. He edge closer to Annabeth and began to gently massage her bruised arms. "Anything for you, Wise Girl." Percy slowly leaned in until their lips met. As they kissed, Annabeth felt her hands move across his back and press against his spine. She could smell his cologne – the smell of the ocean in the morning – and inhaled deeply. Annabeth never wanted to let go of Percy.

Ever.

"Keep your filthy, disgusting hands off of my sister!" She heard her brother Malcolm yell and suddenly Annabeth felt Percy being yanked away from her.

She watched in terror as herbrother lifted his fist. "MALCOLM, NO!" But it was too late. Percy fell flat on the ground, clutching his nose.

Then, Malcolm was able to get a clearer look of who it was. "Oh SHIT," he shouted. "Uh…Percy?" Percy looked up at Malcolm. Annabeth sighed in relief to see that he wasn't bleeding. "Uh, my bad." Malcolm held out his hand for Percy. Percy grinned and took Malcolm's hand. "I thought you were…well, yeah."

Percy chuckled. "Nah. I think you're looking for that guy." Percy gestured toward the unconscious man.

Malcolm snickered. "Wow. You really kicked that guy's ass. Do you wrestle or something?"

Percy grinned. "Competitive swimmer."

Malcolm laughed. He turned to Annabeth approvingly. "I like this kid. Much, much better than Travis."

"I don't think you have to worry about that," Annabeth said with a smile.

Percy wrapped his arm around Annabeth. "Thank god."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, that was a cute chapter…maybe the ending with Malcolm was kind of stupid but…yeah…

Hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving ;)
