Hey guys. I am glad you guys still like this story. So on with it we go. I own nothing.
BLAST!
"C'mon Annie you weren't even trying that time." Thalia said as I picked myself off the ground.
"If it's so easy why don't you do it." I said. She just smirked at me and blasted the dummies head clean off its shoulders.
"Don't even," I say even more annoyed, "Can we take a break?"
"Yes besides we have to pick out a dress for you."
"What for?"
"The ball tonight of course." She says as if it is obvious.
"Why would I want to go to a stupid ball?"
"This ball should be full of vampires. If you go Percy will most definitely go and that's when we'll strike."
"But Thalia I'm not ready. If I try to go against him now I'll surely die." I said.
"Don't worry Annabeth I'll be there and you have already made some improvement," She said "Now come on we have to find you a dress."
"Thalia I look ridiculous." I say twirling around in the mirror.
"That's because you don't have the mask on yet," She says putting it over my eyes, "There now you're ready to get you some hot vamp."
I just roll my eyes and look in the mirror. My dress looks that of a princess. It is a strapless grey dress that fans out at the waist. I brush my hands down the beaded corset. My mask is gold and only covers my eyes. I have on gold high heels as well. Thalia's dress is a black mini and is wearing purple pumps. Her mask is exactly like mine except purple.
"You girls have fun." My mom yells as we make our way towards the door.
"Don't worry, we will Mrs. Chase." Thalia says giving me a look. I gulp and head to my worst nightmare.
All eyes are on me when I enter the building, but not the eyes I want most. Where is he?
"Thalia I don't see him here." I say slightly relieved.
"We'll split up. I'll go search over there and you the opposite." She says. I nod, now I'm really terrified. What if something goes wrong? What if I find him and she is nowhere to be found? I hadn't realized where I was going until I bumped into that exact person on the dance floor. He pulled me into a waltz position.
1796
"You my dear Percy are an excellent dancer." Rachel says laughing.
"If you think I'm good you should see Jason. He is the one who taught me." I say glad for once Jason showed me something useful.
"Never sell yourself short Percy."
"I don't. It's the truth though. I mean look at him." I spin her to look at Jason who is dancing with some random girl whose name escapes me.
"Oh Percy, Percy you have something that Jason doesn't."
"Now what is that?" I ask leaning in closer to her.
"Me." She says before pressing her lips to mine. After we pull away I sit there with a goofy grin. She just laughs at me before continuing our dance.
"Good evening Ms. Chase."
"Good evening Mr. Jackson,"
"You look beautiful tonight. I take it you enjoyed your day." He says spinning me back around.
"Probably more than you did," I say sarcastically.
"Oh yes, daytime television is total crap," Percy and I are the center of attention as we danced.
"I bet. In fact television rots your brain I don't recommend it at all." I say smiling.
The melody begins to get slower and slower signally the end of the song. Percy turns me around and dips me putting his mouth close to my neck. I can't think straight. I couldn't help but think what would that bite feel like. Would it be complete bliss or would it hurt. Percy must have heard my thoughts because he grazes my throat with his human teeth.
"Just one bite that all it takes." I whimper. It would be over that quickly, my human life. I could live forever. No fear of getting old or dying. I could have incredible powers. But all those human lives that would be at stake. The song ends and Percy lifts me up. There's applause all around I hear a few people say how awesome our dancing was, but none of that matters.
"It will never work." I give him a look of confusion as he leads me into a deserted hallway.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your little plan to get rid of me," The color drains out of my face, "I have been around a long time."
"What did you do with Thalia?" I ask starting to panic. I realized I hadn't seen her during the entire thing.
"You have no idea what a vampire bite does to a witch do you?" Tears start to stream down my face.
"You better run to her Annie. She doesn't have much time left."
I turn and sprint down the staircase my shoe coming off in the process. I run out into the courtyard and find Thalia on the ground with a bite in her neck. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes.
"Thalia listen to me you are going to be okay." I assure her my voice shaking.
"You did good kid." She says before the light drains out of her eyes.
A tear runs down my face. I wipe it away as I look up and see her face smiling back at me. I will avenge you Thalia Grace if it's the last thing I do.
