Annabeth's POV
After my little spat with Percy, I went back to my cabin, but I only got to stay there for five minutes because Chiron called an emergency meeting in the pavilion. I wonder what this is about, I thought as I walked into the pavilion. I sat down on one of the benches, waiting for Chiron to start.
"Ok everybody." Chiron said, "I know all of you want to know who won, because of the dispute, we will hold a rematch of the Annabeth versus Percy fight. This time though, no magical objects. The only two things that the two contestants are allowed to bring are their weapon; for Percy, Riptide and Annabeth, her dagger. Also there will be a boundary line, if you step out, you automatically lose."
Ugh, I have to face him again, well, this time it will be easier since I have an incentive to beat him.
"Oh, and an extra tidbit. There is a losing punishment, you could say," My ears perked up, what would Percy get once he lost? "And I'm not going to tell you what it is." Why though? I guess it could be really bad, or indifferent, but it's to make us work harder. "I'll give Percy and Annabeth a few hours to prepare and the final battle will be today. Dismissed."
I left the pavilion and headed straight for the arena. There were a very few people who can actually give me a challenge, one of them being Percy. I entered the arena and immediately began dueling Clarisse, who was pretty much my personal coach, she was giving me advice and a pep talk on how to beat Percy. I have to admit, it helped.
After a few minutes of constant sparring, I made a surprise lung, knocking Clarisse to the ground and stuck my knife point at her throat.
"Not bad, Chase." She said. I let her get up, "Just do me a favor." She said. "Pound Fish Boy for me." I grinned, "You got it." I said, and walked off to get showered.
I got ready for the tournament and headed back down to the arena, leaving my Yankees cap on my bunk. I walked to the arena, knowing I was going to win.
Percy and I waited for everyone to get to the arena, Chiron between us.
"Contestants ready?" Chiron asked. I nodded and so did Percy "Remember no powers or magical items." We both nodded. "Go!" Instantly I felt a sword come towards me, and in a blink of an eye, I blocked it, he glared at me, a cold look I've never seen in his eyes, and then they softened.
We fought for several minutes, sword against dagger, out footing perfect, until we were so tired we had no idea what we were doing. I was sweating buckets but a sudden burst adrenaline ran through me and I tackled him, sending him to the ground with my dagger pointed at his throat.
"And Annabeth wins." Chiron declares as I got off of Percy, his face tinged red, awww look, he's embarrassed, that's so cute! My mind told me, Who are you, an Aphrodite girl? No, Just the girl part of you. I shook my head clear of these annoying thoughts as Chiron put the laurel around my neck, Percy and I shook hands and I left. Percy jogged towards me "Hey, can I talk to you?"
"Yeah sure." I don't know why, I was feeling light-headed and my tongue was completely. When was the last time I had water? Oh yeah at lunch, over four hours ago. Uh oh, I think I'm going to faint. Percy was saying something, but everything went fuzzy and then black.
My writers block is somewhat better, I know it's still a short chapter, I want to post as often as possible so the chapters are going to pretty short, sorry, but PM me or review if you have any ideas.
