Achilles Heel

Percy Pov

Annabeth was crying, hard. Over me, and it broke me to just watch, my brave, strong, amazing Annabeth was reduced to crying, and it was my fault. Though I had no clue what she was talking about, I would never, ever, say that I would rather date Calypso or Rachel. I had made my choice and I would stand by it, forever.

She was shaking and hitting her head against the wall muttering "he hates me. He hates me," How I knew this was I had been walking outside the Athena cabin and I heard crying so I looked.

I was walking away when I ran into the perfect person, and her name was Eliana, she was a Child of Aphrodite, but Athena blessed her Dad, and the Blessing had passed onto her. So she basically was the coolest Aphrodite kid, ever. (Read the Disclaimer I know you didn't).

She looked up from her book and said "hey Percy," "Eli (pronounced El-ee) I need a favor," "Really? Is that how you greet a girl, you need to work on your manners man, What is it?" "It's with Annabeth," now I knew she was really listening. "She heard a rumor that wasn't true and now I don't know what to do." "Yeesh this is a hard one but here is what you will do," and she told me the plan.

That night I couldn't stop thinking about how much I needed this plan to work. I finally slept and dreamt about a woman in battle armor who whispered to the people around her and then Annabeth came up and stabbed me but it wasn't Annabeth it was Ares and Kronos. I woke up in a pool of sweat, gasping for breath.

After breakfast, I immediately got to work. And when I was done came the hard part; getting Annabeth. But I had a plan, I made a rainbow bracelet and Iris-messaged Tyson. I told him the plan and walked to the Athena Cabin where he impersonated Malcolm to perfection and said "Annabeth can you meet me at Zeus's fist around 5?" I heard her sniffle then clear her throat and say "sure,". I smiled to myself knowing I would finally get my girlfriend back.

I was waiting for around 2 hours making sure everything was perfect when she finally came she was in her black hoodie and black leggings; her sad clothes. Even though I could tell she wasn't trying she still looked amazing, her hair was as usual curled beautifully but instead of being pulled back, it was falling gracefully on her shoulders.

My mind snapped back to reality as I saw Annabeth walking away I grabbed her hand she turned while pointing her knife at my throat, and she said "Leave. Me. Alone." Being the idiot I am I grabbed and threw her knife away and then jumped on her.

I was on top of Annabeth and she was squirming and fighting me but I was just too big for her and she retorted to pleading "Percy please get off, please." she said. I noticed she was crying again and so I did. When we were both standing I said "What is the thing that you heard?" "I had a dream of you kissing Rachel and then Calypso, I woke up only to hear a voice telling me you had never liked me in the first place and would have rather dated Rachel or Calypso." tears were silently falling out of her eyes and I was dying to just hold her forever.

I knew what I had to do so I wiped her eyes and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. She was stiff at first then melted into the gesture.

It felt like forever before I let go, she didn't look mad anymore which was good but instead fascinated, in an almost a whisper she said: "you did all of this for me?" That was the first time I actually took the scene around me. We were at Zeus's fist, I had put some twinkle lights on the low-lying branches around and some blue lanterns were hanging here and there that the Hecate kids had bewitched to float. There was a blue mat on the ground and not much else. I said "It wasn't much," In truth, it was quite a lot of work but I would do it again two million times for her.

I had packed some camp plates and was starving but I didn't want Annabeth to know so I tried to play it cool, she looked at me and said "I know you are starving so where's the food," at that, I crashed my lips against hers and put all my built feeling into it, she kissed back and I knew that I wanted her forever.

When we finally pulled away she pulled off her hoodie to reveal a simple grey tee. She was smiling and blushing, but she looked even better. Then she said "I am so stupid," I was shocked, really did Annabeth ever say she was wrong but to insult her intelligence, that was rarely. I must have looked really confused so she said "how could I not trust you, you are the most loyal guy on the planet, your fatal flaw is loyalty!" "Hey it's fine, I'm dumb too," I said. She laughed and I brought out the plates.

We talked and I was over the moon to finally have her to talk to I don't remember much just that I cracked a stupid joke and Annabeth said "I love you, Perseus Jackson," "I love you too," was my reply.

Then she looked ahead and became stone-faced, and I followed her eyes to see the woman from my dream the angry goddess in armor! She was even more terrifying in person and Annabeth said, "What are you doing here?" but it wasn't a meek or scared question, no it was one of the strongest times I have ever seen her.

My attention turned to the goddess, she was scary. Then I saw her eyes, they had fire in them, like literal fire, suddenly it all clicked and for once I knew which goddess I was talking to.

Adrestia the goddess of heartbreak, "You know I was right," she said to Annabeth, "No you weren't Percy is an honest and kind soul he would never say that," she turned to me and said "He loves me and I love him too," then looking at miss heartbreak over there "You are a liar just like your father," "Ahh so you know my father," then was the time I got fed up and said "ya I know him and I kicked his sorry butt, at the age of twelve," "HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE GREAT GOD OF WAR! I WILL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS FOR THAT!" Annabeth now fuming said, "if you want him you'll have to get through me." "Well, then you have chosen death," With that Annabeth charged.

She only had a practice sword and nothing else whereas the Goddess had a shield and spear plus a sword, but I had faith in my wise girl she was a better sword fighter than I ever hoped to be, then moved in quick flashes until I heard a furious yell and saw a drop of golden blood fall. "Go Annabeth!" I heard myself yelling.

She flashed a smile at me and that reassured me that she was doing great, then she pulled a move that I knew a little too well, her signature Judo-flip. She was on top of the goddess with her boot on the goddess's neck, "so maybe you were wrong about me, and know, I am no one's sidekick. I am my own person and nothing you say can ever change that." "You'll regret this," was the last thing the foul woman said before disappearing in a flash of light.

Annabeth sat down next to me as if nothing had happened, "THAT WAS AWESOME!" I said to her,

"wasn't a challenge,"

"That's my Wise Girl,"

"You know it, Seaweed Brain,"

Just then I heard Grover yell "ANNBETH JUST KICKED A GODDESS'S ASS!"

We heard cheering and were met with a celebration from the whole camp, especially the ones who were in relationships. Turns out Miss Ares Junior was doing the same thing to a lot of couples and no one knew why. We had the time of our lives.

After the party, Annabeth and I fell asleep in the Poseidon cabin, together, and for once I was able to sleep well, With my Wise Girl like always.
