Chapter seven, I hope this one is longish

I don't own Percy Jackson or Doctor Who

Percy's PoV

After the shock of Katniss hugging me died off I brushed her away from me gently and proceeded to my room, wallowing in my pass and remembering those who were lost in Battle for Olympus. I dozed off, settling into a typical Demigod dream.

I was on the bow Argo II, boulders whistled pass the hull, the Seven, well Six now, were scrambling to and fro. My stomach lurched as a giant chunk of Limestone smashed into the hull with sound of a meteor impacting the earth. The deck swerved to the left and I watched as one by one the questers fell over-broad. Leo was the last one on deck, struggling to keep the ship stable.

Eventually all control was lost and the ship careened into the side of a towering mountain. I watched as Leo went down with the ship. And my dream faded into black.

When it came into focus again, I stood next to one Frank Zhang, he hurt and blood soaked his shirt. I watched as he lumbered through a dark passage, cold, alone and afraid. A searingly blind light obscured the rest of my vision.

I blinked awake slowly my head pounding to find a figure standing over me. I rushed upwards, slamming my head into someone else's face. "Oww.." I looked down at floor, seeing Katniss on ground holding her forehead. "You have a hard head!" she complained and stood up shakily, tripping out of my room. "Okay then."

II walked out of my room, after showering and dressing of course. My dream/vision rest in the back of my mind, slowly chewing at me. I pushed the thought out as I dug into some typical breakfast food, unless you wanted to know every little thing I eat.

Haymitch explained today's agenda and how it would be our mental health check up and viewing of skills. I put on the cheesy looking outfit my designer had laid out for me. As I finished putting on my Capitol issued clothing and marched out to the elevator and took the long ride down to the Medical section of the building.

I looked around recognizing a familiar face, The Doctor. He grinned at me and beckoned for me to take my seat. He pulled out some image cards and began to speak, "Okay I found who might be behind all of this," He looked around at the cameras and pulled his Sonic screwdriver out, waved it around until he was satisfied and looked back at me," Ah, thats better, more private don't ya think? Anyways, I believe the Sontarans are behind it all, but what for?" He began to murmur about himself and pointed me out the door.

I sighed and walked into the next room, waiting for my chance to be watched and rated by the Gamemakers.

I heard my name called over the intercom, Katniss nodded at me as I walked past. I slide into place in front of the Gamemakers and watched as they chatted amongst themselves. I cleared my throat hoping to get their attention, they ignored me. I felt kinda angry, after-all I would be pitted against other kids around my age and forced to kill them for their amusement, the least they could do was watch me as I showed off to them.I went over to the swords, grabbed the one with my name on and trotted into the sword fighting simulator. I slashed and hacked my through holograms, I zigged and zagged as arrows aimed for me, I slammed spears off course with my blade, hoping to at least impress the stupid Gamemakers. I looked up not even tired as I finished off the last simulation, I was meant with silence as I stared at the dumbstruck observers. They clapped slowly at my surprisingly amazing show of force.

As I walked out I passed Katniss. I grabbed her wrist "Hey, just wanted to wish you luck." I released her and marched on as if nothing happened. As I waltzed into the elevator and hit the twelfth floor button.

3rd person PoV

"He is an excellent candidate for conversion into our glorious army. Did you see his sword fighting abilities?" "Yes, yes; he will most likely be this year's winner and then we will be able to convert and twist him to our own purposes"

And Back to Percy's PoV

I woke up in a sweat, I had had another one of those dreams, where my friends died around me, calling for me to save them; but I had vowed to myself I wouldn't get involved in the war. I shook myself out my spiel and began my morning routine that is super secret. I dragged my feet as I walked out my room. Tomorrow would be the day I was sent into the arena, but today was interviewing day in front of a LIVE audience I might add. I watched the T.v, the scores from the night before going through my head over and over again. I had, like Katniss had scored an eleven , while the careers and other tributes received a plethora of scores, from fives to tens; it was a varying system.

I was shaken out of my thoughts when Haymitch elbowed me to get my attention, he looked over at where Katniss was and whispered to me: "I need you say your in love with Katniss, you would win over a lot of sponsors." Personally I didn't really mind, I mean Katniss was pretty and I was definitely attracted to her, but how would she react?

I was hunched over as I waited for my turn to be called up, it was Katniss' turn and I couldn't help but laugh at some of her answers. Finally, after a painstakingly long time I was called up, my plan was formulated and worthy of Athena and was I dressed sharply. I swaggered out of the dark room and was temporarily blinded by the sudden and deafened by the roar of the crowd. I twirled around waving and giving that supposedly alluring lopsided grin, and took my seat across from stared at each-other awkwardly until he spoke up. "Soo, Percy, you know everyone in the districts and Capitol consider you the the second most attractive male next to Finnick O'dair right?" I unconsciously blushed and his modest side took over "Nah, I am not that attractive" Ceaser grinned at me " Do you have a lucky girl back home waiting for you?" Sheesh, did privacy not exist in the future? But none the less I executed my stupendous plan. "Well there is one." Ceaser leaned forward, clearly interested. "Do tell us, what is her name?" I looked up nervously and began "Well Ceaser, the thing is, well she came here with me and her name is Katniss Everdeen." The audience turned crazy, cheering and wolf-whistling at him. Behind me I heard Katniss gasp.

My time was up and I took my place next to Katniss, she took my hand and looked me in the eye, her eyes sparkled happily and I smiled at her. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Tributes of the 74th Hunger Games!" The crowd went wild once again and we tributes were ushered out and to our rooms to spend our last night in a warm, comfortable bed before we dropped into the arena.

I woke up early the next day and walked to the balcony to watch the sunrise, Katniss must've had the same idea. I walked behind her, wrapping my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close, I knew what she must be feeling and I tried my best to comfort her. No words were said, but none the less I could tell she enjoyed my company and the bond we shared, we were the Star-crossed lovers, where one would and the other might survive, she leaned her head oon my shoulder and breathed deeply. Suddenly someone coughed behind us, we swiveled our heads in the direction of the noise. We broke apart, blushing as Effie smiled at us, I rubbed my neck as Katniss fumbled upon her words, trying to make an acceptable excuse. Effie's smile died away and the mirth in her eyes dimmed, "I am truly sorry, but you two must go now to the arena." She looked solemn as she lead the way to the Hangar, I insantly felt bad for her. How many people had she gotten to know before they were shipped of to a hellish wasteland where they face death daily, maybe, all the gaudy hair dos and lavish clothing was how she covered up her sadness at times like these. I hugged her before I sat next to Katniss, a tracker in my arm and the sedation shot kicking in.

I awoke naked in a patient gown with a set of clothes likely meant to wear in the arena. I pulled them on just as a Peacekeeper barged in telling me to take my place in the elevator that I would enter the arena by. My fingers closed around the familiar pen in my pocket that was Riptide. I put my hand at my side and adjusted to the sunlight overhead.
