Annabeth

"Protect us from what Annabeth?" Leo asked

"He knows that Polybotes is onto him, if he's with us Polybotes will find him, and punish him for running away by killing us." I answered

"Um Annabeth, I think he might be protecting us from something else" Jason said, finding us at the door.

"What would that be?"

"Himself"

Percy

I trudged down the sandy path at the bottom of the ocean, dreading my doom. I had to go back. I can't risk them getting hurt. If I'm restrained, I can't hurt them if I lose control.

He'll be surprised I returned. His plan was for me to go and kill them, and he wouldn't have to lift a single finger. And if I killed them, I'd probably kill myself. I won't let him win like that. If he will win, he won't be using that plan.

I have to be strong one last time. To protect them, to protect her. Even if it kills the both of us.

What even started this whole mess?

I sit down on a smooth rock and look back at everything that has happened, how did it all begin?

Wait. Stop.

"You will end up doing something beyond your limits that should kill you, but the Fates don't want you to die, not yet. So expect something to happen."

Dad. He warned me about this.

Something happened alright!

Something beyond my limits... Something beyond my limits, what did I do that was beyond my limits?

What started this whole thing?

It dawned on me, it seemed so long ago, the day Polybotes captured me, the day I destroyed his army, the day I called on all the water in the world.

I should have died from that use of power, what happened.

Think Percy, what happened after that?

Nothing, it was all fuzzy, what happened after that?! Arg! It's the stupid Amnesia all over again! I fell and then, and then, nothing. I'm missing something! Missing several things actually now that I think about it. I remember the bubble, and then passing out, and then, then I woke up in a chair, yes! And we had a conversation, me and Polybotes. What did we talk about?

There was something about an act and how he tricked us with the location, but there was more! I think he explained what he did to me, and something about a great power. But what was it?

The two most important things I'm trying to figure out are the two things I don't know.

Typical.

I have to know the answer, I have to go back to Polybotes. I have to know, I have to protect them, I have to go back.

I got up, ready.

I don't know what my fate, but I won't let that slow me down.

Breath in, breath out.

You can do this Percy. Walk into the building. Don't let the thought of torture distract you.

Great job genius, now you will freak out and panic.

Shut up mind. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I still had a killer headache? Yeah that's still there

I was walking towards the building when I suddenly stopped.

I had the urge to go back to my friends. Like I would die if I didn't.

No I can't go back, going back is not an option. I moved backward.

Wait. No I am going forward! I am going towards the building, work with me legs!

They didn't listen. It was like they had a mind of their own. I tried stepping forward and ended up falling face down into the sand.

What the heck?

I sat up and examined my legs. What is wrong with me?

I stood up and tried walking toward the building again. I was able to now but the headache had gotten worse and the urge was still there. But atleast my legs were under control. That was really weird. Know I have to find out what Polybotes did to me, no exceptions.

Percy's mind

What am I doing? I can't go back with my friends, what is he thinking. I mean what am I thinking. I mean, you know what I mean.

Don't I know that I am a danger to them? Apparently not.

Despite what I think, I went along with my friends.

"You know it was in the plan all along right?" I heard Perseus' voice from across the room. He was looking at me seeing my expression.

"What?" I said, trying to compose myself.

"Well the plan is to kill all of your friends. When you, outside, realize what you did, you will kill yourself. Problem solved, simple as that."

"The plan won't work you know" I said.

"What do you mean? Of course it will!"

"I would never kill them, my love and loyalty for my friends is stronger than your freaky mind control."

Perseus laughed quietly, apparently amused with me, "It wasn't that strong the time you hurt Jason" He then turned away from me,

I gritted my teeth. He was right, there was no way to win. The more I fought the more power he gained. That's probably why Jason still got hurt. I have to figure out how to beat this guy. I have to use logic.

I looked at the screen, I saw the dining room, and my friends, luckily I saw Jason was okay. That's good.

I go back to when I first met Perseus. He said I was the good personality. He was the evil one. If he has power that means I have to have some right?

I concentrate long and hard, only thinking about going back, thinking that if I don't go I will end up hurting my friends. And that is unacceptable

"But um, I'm about to go, you know BLEH" I heard me say.

Wow, great job on my part.

I look at Perseus, he's asleep.

I watch the screen and see myself climbing out of the window.

Hey! It worked! I think.

I was exhausted and fell asleep only to be woken up by a certain screeching personality.

"WHAT!"

"Man you are really evil. Here I am peacefully sleeping and you wake me up with your awful girl scream."

"I do NOT screech like a girl, as for waking you up I rather enjoy it." Perseus countered

"Yeah, whatever you say Regina" I said teasing him.

"Do not call me Regina" Perseus growled, "Now how did you get him to leave?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about Regina"

"I know you did something! Now answer me!" He demanded, all up in my face.

"Nope!" I can't think about it, he'll read my mind. Don't think about it Percy.

"I don't know what you did, but it won't work." Perseus stormed to the control board and started pressing numerous buttons and pulling several levers. Not to mention typing furiously on a keyboard.

On the screen, Percy stopped and stepped backward.

"What are you doing!?" I panicked, if Perseus succeeds in stopping my plan, my friends could end up dead.

"Turning us around, I will kill your friends."

"No!" I thought about going forward, anything but backward.

On the screen, Percy tripped and fell. Its kind of working.

"Stop it! I will fulfill the plan!"

"Not as long as I'm here" I said confidently.

Perseus got up, and walked toward me "You are testing my patience" He hissed

"You aren't winning that easily, Regina" I smirked.

He gave a roar and barreled toward me. I held my stance. He got within three feet, two feet, one foot, I dodged to the right. I looked back and saw a fist-sized hole in the wall. Just think, that could've been my beautiful face!

He pulled his fist out, letting the rubble fall and faced me with his soul-less black eyes.

"Maybe if I get rid of you now, I can work in peace." He whispered.

He cracked his knuckles and took measured steps towards me, while I took the same steps backward. I knew he had the upper hand. The more energy I use the more power he gains.

I have to use a defense strategy. He jumped on me and we toppled to the ground. I rolled over and crawled away only to be dragged back by the chains.

"You are the thing holding me back, get rid of that and we will succeed."

Percy was still on the sand, I have to keep thinking about going forward, I can't let him win.

He punched and I blocked, he kicked and I dodged. It went on like this for a while. I glanced at the screen and saw that we were going forward. Perseus hadn't seen it yet, I have to keep his attention.

While I was distracted, Perseus took his chance and side-kicked me square in the chest. I flew backward and landed on the floor.

I picked myself up only to see a fist heading straight for my face, I didn't have enough time to register it and block. The fist met its target.

I was tired, bruised, and now bleeding from a bloody nose. But he wasn't done yet and neither was I. It was time to fire back.

I looked straight at Perseus waiting for him to make a move. He tried to push-kick me but failed. I grabbed his foot before it made contact and flung him to the ground.

I tackled him while he was stunned and punched his gut.

"That was for waking me up"

I punched his chest.

"That was for Jason"

I punched him square in the nose.

"And that, was for Annabeth"

I only held him for a while though. He rolled over onto me and took out a hidden menacing looking knife and held it over my chest.

I tried to get up and failed.

"You think you can win? You, insignificant and weak against me? Is it embarrassing? To be chained up and at the mercy of your double?"

He said all this while slowly cutting down my chest, ripping my shirt, not that it wasn't already ruined.

I groaned in response. "You are not my double. You were made by an evil stupid giant. We have NOTHING in common"

Well besides our looks but I didn't say that.

"And you will not win" I curled my hand into a fist and punched his face, one last time with all of my strength.

He fell unconscious onto me.

I pushed him off and gasped for breath.

I had a long cut going from my chest to my stomach.

I had one thought going through my head at that time and one thought only.

He was going to be really pissed when he woke up, but at least I won.

Percy

I stormed right up to the doors, ignoring the guards and pushed right into the building.

Yeah sure, my initial plan was to be stealthy but when do my plans ever work out. Plus the entrance was awesome! The guards just kinda stared at me and then ran off, probably to find Polybotes.

Right now, I didn't care. I was going to see him anyways. I didn't know where I was going since I haven't seen much of the building, and there wasn't a map anywhere so I kinda just walked around, waiting to find him. I mean he's like a 30 foot tall giant with dragon legs and an awful stench, can't be that hard to find.

Was I scared or nervous? Yes, yes I was. But I put that fear in the back of my mind.

The headache had strangely stopped, not that I'm complaining or anything.

After a few minutes of absentmindedly walking around the building. I heard a familiar thump coming from the left of the building, along with little scuttling feet.

The fear that I had pushed to the back of my mind was forcing its way to the front.

I finally saw his face. And a bunch of his ugly little sidekick monsters.

"So you came crawling back huh? Can't say I was surprised. It was kind of expected."

I gathered my courage and spoke, "You did something to me and I want to know what it is! You took me because I have some great power, what is it?"

Polybotes laughed at me, "You think you can just storm in here and demand answers? No, now that I see that you have a strong will, I'll just have to weaken it, but while you're here, you can help us with our work."

"Take this one to the forges, we are going to show him just how cruel we are to our workers."

OMGS Done! Finally! You guys have no idea how hard that was to write! But I did it! Thanks the gods! Ok don't forget to review! Byeee-greekgodsrox
