Love So REAL, Love So TRUE

Chapter 2: That's Just Great

Annabeth's POV

Empousa. Great, I thought. What a date ruiner.

Is it too much to ask for a monster-less date once in a while? It's only once in a while that me and Percy get to go out, so why can't they leave us alone? Oh wait, we're demigods. I nearly forgot.

It was a good thing that I brought my knife and Yankee cap with me. After we make this monster disintegrate, me and Percy could have our date again. I hope.

While I was talking to myself, Percy was already charging the Empousa. Then I remembered. That idiot!

"Percy! Stop! That's an Empousa, idiot!"

Percy seemed to understand what I meant so he started running back. But, too late. The Empousa had seen him. No, sensed him. What else way to attract a monster than our lovely fragrance? "Annabeth! Plan?" He asked.

I didn't know what to do yet. But as the daughter of the goddess of wisdom, I would figure it out sooner and later.

"Annabeth! Anything yet?"

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain! I'm trying to think!" Then the idea struck me. There was a bulletin board nearby. If I could distract the monster while Percy climbs the board... Percy could jump down and slice the Empousa's body in half. That way, Percy wouldn't be seen and the Empousa wouldn't be able to seduce Percy. Brilliant! I gave myself a mental praise before reiterating my plan to Percy. "Percy, you see the bulletin board there?"

"Yeah. What'll I do?"

"Climb it. Don't jump until I tell you to."

"What? I don't get it." A confused look on his face. I could explain, but there wasn't time for it. The Empousa was near us.

"Just do it! Don't jump until I tell you to!" He'll figure it out later. He'll know what to do, I reassured myself.

Percy started to run, luckily, the Empousa did not follow him. But later, if I don't move now, the monster will.

"Hey! BLOOD SUCKER! What the hell are you doing here?" Like how I planned, the Empousa looked my way. "Yeah! YOU! Come here if your not afraid!"

Let's just hope it turns out right. I thought to myself.

The monster was momentarily confused, it was either he ran after Percy or after me. I can't believe I'd ever say this, but me, please, me. I involuntarily closed my eyes and when I opened them, the Empousa was charging my way. Thank the gods!

I ran to where my plan would take place: the bulletin board. I just hope that Percy knew what to do by now.

Percy's POV

Stupid monsters, stupid scent, stupid Empousa. I've been looking forward for this for days! And look what I get, Empousa.

I even prayed to Poseidon for a peaceful day with Annabeth. But, noooo. Wow Dad. Your super helpful. I silently said.

And Annabeth, I don't get her! Not her, her. But her plan. What will I do when I get up that bulletin board. I have to find that out soon.

"Hey! BLOOD SUCKER! What the hell are you doing here?" I heard Annabeth scream. "Yeah! YOU! Come here if your not afraid!" I looked back, I thought it was meant for me but then I realized it was for the Empousa. It hit me. Annabeth's plan. What I had to do. This plan is brilliant! I made a mental note to praise Annabeth later.

I ran to the bulletin board, I was only a few inches away. All I had to do was climb and jump. Then, BOOM. Good-bye, Empousa. Maybe I'm not such a Seaweed Brain after all.

I climbed the bulletin board. Gods, do you know how hard it was? Annabeth was only a few feet away from the bulletin board, followed by the monster. I just have to wait for her cue.

"C'mon, BLOOD SUCKER. Can't you run any faster?" Annabeth screamed again. "What kind of monster are you? Minotaurs are sooo much better!"

That insult might have worked, judging from the kind of response it gave. "When I reach you, I will suck the blood out of you!" It hissed again and again.

I wonder what the mortals are seeing now? A crazy girl shouting insults to a cheerleader? When I looked around, people were looking at me. It surprised me, what were they looking at me for? Oh yeah, I bet I'm the crazy boyfriend they're fighting over then I decided to hide up here on the bulletin board.

Annabeth was almost here, as well as the Empousa. "Percy, you know what to do now?" she asked.

"I guess so. If my guess is right then yes." I replied.

"Let's hope so." Then she shouted more insults that I didn't quite understand. Maybe something like: "You look like rat that's about to die." or "What's up with your one legged foot?" Well, whatever she said, it worked. The Empousa was being lured into our trap. Annabeth is such a genius, a beautiful, sexy, genius.

"Percy! Ready?" she cut me out of my thoughts and- gods, her voice was perfect! Like sunshine in a rainy day. (does that even make sense?) "Percy! Ready?" she shouted again.

"Oh, uh-yeah." Great going Percy, make a fool outta yourself. I stood up and was ready to jump. Man, it was hard to balance on this bulletin board. I feel like I would fall anytime. "Wise Girl, anytime soon?" I made a face like someone was gonna punch me. I wouldn't die if I fell. I'm invincible. But it would ruin the whole plan and Annabeth wouldn't talk to me ever again. (maybe that was over exaggerating, but still.)

"A little more." She answered back. They were near, a few inches more. And- "Now! Percy jump!"

I took out Riptide and jumped. Sliced the monsters head off and it disintegrated to dust. I landed on my feet hopefully to impress Annabeth, but nooo, I slipped and fell on my back. This was not my lucky day.

"Ouch. That hurt!" Ugh. I was about to run my head with insults, but Annabeth's laugh stopped me. Her beautiful laugh filled my ears and I started to laugh too. Like I said, her laugh was contagious.

"Come on, Seaweed Brain, we have to take bow for the audience." she said while laughing.

"What audience?" I said while she helped me up. I looked around when I was up. The people around us were clapping. I didn't get it but maybe they thought this was some kind of play. Or role-play. Well, at least something went right. Thank you, Mist. At least we weren't going to the police station for questioning. Seriously, after the war, I've been there almost everyday.

"Percy. Let's take our bow?"

"1..2...3, Bow." We took our bow and started laughing.

"Let's go before they ask for our autograph." she said teasingly. "You still have to show me around, I didn't learn anything besides that I should avoid this place as much as possible."

"Very funny, Wise Girl." I said it sarcastically, but I really laughed. "Well then, I better show you around. Only a couple more hours 'till the sun sets."

With that, I took her hand and laced my hand through hers. I squeezed it, wondering if she would take her hand back. But she didn't, instead she squeezed mine too. I smiled and pulled her to where we would go next. This day might not be as bad as it seems. Thanks Dad, I take back what I said.
