Thank you all for the wonderful reviews! It was so great getting 100 for the last chapter. For this one, I'll only ask you people to get up to 110. And guess what? It's now offically summer vacation for me! Which means that I can have a chapter written every week. I just need enough reviews. Any way, I'm glad that you liked the last chapter, and I hope that you like this one too. I'm sorry if I don't update again for a long time, but I currently don't have Internet access at my house, and I've been going to my grandparents to get stuff done, and they leave for their cabin on June 10th. So I might just update whenever I go up north. I promise that for every tenth review I get, I will update upto that chapter. So if I get 130 reviews by the next time I'm on, I'll update to chapter 14. Alright, well I know you don't wanna hear me talk anymore (figure of speech, I know you guys can't hear me speak) so I'll just cut right to the chapter now. See you at the end!
Annabeth POV:
Bella had been right, there was going to be a war. Just not the type that you would need armor and a weapon for. It was more of a battle of wits, if it was even that. For the first three classes, Lauren and Jessica did almost nothing but pass notes to Percy and Edward. Percy would show me what the notes said, and Edward would do the same for Bella. I swear, there are just somethings that a girl can't un-read. These girls had no idea how to flirt without freaking a person out.
And in the hallways, they would back the boys up against the lockers and try to suduce them by running their nails up and down the boys arms, and lean forward to show as much cleavage as possible. By the time third period had ended we were making our way to fourth and I ready to rip either Lauren and Jessica's heads off, or my text book in two.
We were halfway to class when Percy stopped me. "You're upset," he said. It wasn't a question.
I looked around to make sure that the two of us were alone. "I don't think that they're what they seem," I told him.
Percy smirked without any humor. "You mean despreat wanna-be's who go for any male that will even bother to give them the time of day?"
I nodded. "I think that they might be empousa."
Percy smiled a little bit. "Annabeth, are you sure you're not just jealous? I mean, they seem pretty normal to me. You know, in a wanna-be kind of way."
I stared as if he had just grown three heads. I don't get jealous. I espicaly don't get jealous of mortals wanna-bes who go after any male that would even bother to give them the time of day."
My boyfriend smirked at me again. "Really Annabeth? Really? 'Cause I seem to remember you getting pretty jealous of Rachel and Calypso. I'm not complaining though,. You look pretty when you're jealous, as well as mad."
I gave him my best "you've-got-to-be-kidding-me," look. "Okay one, we weren't together yet and I'm very protective of my friends, so of course I was mad when I found out that you were on Calypso's island. I mean, I thought you were dead for two whole weeks. And two, even thought I was just starting to relize my feelings for you, I thought that Rachel had been trying to distract you from what you were supposed to do. I mean, you were supposed to save the world in a week. A fricking week! And third, you were just trying to butter me up when you told me that I was pretty when I'm jealouse and mad."
Percy smiled lazily, and started walking to class again. "Well, yes and no. I was trying to butter you up so you weren't mad at me, but I was also telling the truth. You look very hot when you're jealous and even more so when you're mad."
I shifted the books that I was carrying so that I could slap his arm playfully. He shrugged. "Hey, don't believe me, ask the guys at camp. Or at least the guys in different cabins."
I rolled my eyes at him. "Once again, you're trying to sweet talk me. But you're more than likely right about Lauren and Jessica. I'm probably just paronied."
"Annabeth, are you sure you're not just jeal-" I covered his mouth with my hand.
"I'm not jealous. I don't get jealous. And if you say that word one more time, my knife is gonna be shoved up somewhere you really don't want it," I told him. On accident, I dug my nails into his cheek a little bit, leaving marks.
I removed my hand from his mouth, and he walked over to the drinking fountian so that he could heal himself with the water. When he had healed hid cheek, he turned back to me, smiled, took my hand, and started back to class.
"I'm not jealous, I'm just paronied." I repeated. "I was talking with Bella last night, ans she told me that she hadn't been attacked by monsters for nearly two years. That's not normal. I mean, she's just as powerful as I am, so a monster must have tried to attack her. And now that I'm here our aura is probably going to send every monster in the state toward us."
"Why?" Percy asked me. He had that cute look on his face that he gets when he's confused.
I sighed. "When Bella and I were born, the gods declared that we were as powerful as any of the big three children. Because of this, they always tried to keep us seprated, except for when we were at camp. That was the one place that we were allowed to be together. When I ran away when I was seven, Bella sensed it, and ran away from her step-moms who thought that Bella was her biological daughter because of a spell put on her by Circe." I saw Percy cringe at the mention of the witch, more than likely remembering the time that he had spent as a guinea-pig.
By now we had reached the door to the class room. "I'll tell you the rest later," I said, before streatching up on my tip toes to give him a quick kiss. We walked inside and saw Bella and Edward were saving us a couple of seats in the back of the room.
"Annabeth, get behind me," my twin whispered quickly. I raised my eyebrow at her questioningly. She looked around, as if she was afraid that someone (or something) was going to sneal up on her. "Mike has this class with us." Relization hit me like a sack of bricks as I walked around to sit behind Bella. At least I didn't have to worry about Lauren and Jessica flirting with Percy. No sooner had I sat down, Mike walked into the room, his eyes darting around the room, as if he was searching for someone. I had the feeling that the someone he was looking for was me. His gaze finally landed on Bella and Edward, with Percy sitting next to them.
"Hey, Bella," he said to me sister. "Where's Anna - oh there she is. Never mind."
Di Immortales! Why did he have to recoginze me?
Mike walked around Bella and Percy so that he could sit next to me. "So Annabeth, how do you like Forks High so far?" Mike asked me. Oh well. At least he wasn't trying to ask me out again.
I shrugged. "It's okay so far." At least when girls aren't throwing themselves at me boyfriend, I thought, but decided to keep that to myself.
"So I was wondering, maybe next week we could go to the beach? It's a great place to catch a wave, and the water is always the perfect temperture."
I half glared at the blonde idiot. "Mike, I already told you. I have a boyfriend." At that moment, Percy turned back in his seat to smile at me, then glare at Mike. I smiled back, but Mike didn't seem to notice the glare.
"Oh, come on, A.B., don't be like know that you wanna go," he said, putting he arm around me, and pulling me close to his side, leaving almost no room for escape.
Percy, who hadn't taken his eyes off of me, had a look of pure hatred on his face. His eyes burned with an inner fire. I'd seen this look before. Mr.D usually had it when he was in a really bad mood. I'd also seen it on Ares's face before, the rew times that I had seen the war god.
I started struggling, trying to get out of Mike's grip. He was strong, I'll give him that, but not as strong as Percy. I stopped struggling, and took a deep calming breath. "Okay, Mike. First, don't ever call me 'A.B.', again. I don't do stupid nicknames." Percy smirked at that one. "Second, let me go, before you get hurt. I may look week, but I'm able to take care of myself. And if I can't get you to let me go, then Percy will hurt you, and you can count on that."
Mike laughed. "I'd like to see him try."
Then three things happened at once.
The first thing; Mike kissed me. It wasn't a sweet, gentle kiss either. It was hard, and rough, like he didn't care if he hurt me or not. It was nothing like the kisses that I shared with Percy.
Then, I heard a sound, like a hundred angry snakes had been woken up from a nap. I knew it could only be one thing. Percy had lost control, and most of the pipes in the school had been broken.
What happened next, schocked even me. Mike was ripped away from me (not that I'm complaining) by Edward. The next few things that happened, were done within nearly of a second of each other.
I saw Percy punch Mike in the face, before coming over to me, and pulling me into a protective hug, while Bella nailed Mike in the nose, stomach and groin at the same time, and jumped out of the way with Edward, a half second before a tidal wave hit the spot where they had been standing, knocking Mike head over heels (literaly), leaving him lying on the ground, sputtering and coughing up the water from the schools plumbing.
"Oh no," Bella and I whispered.
"What in the name of all that is good and holy on this earth was that?" Angela yelled from the far corner of the room. I hadn't even noticed that she was there.
"I'm not sure," Bella lied smoothly. "I ws just trying to protect Annabeth, and there must have been a freak plumbing accident."
"Bella, I know your keeping something from me. I want to know what it is. I also know that there's something strange with the Cullen's. Please tell me, Bella."
What? What is it with the Cullen's? They seemed perfectly normal when I met them yesterday.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella rub her bracelet On my own bracelet, were five simple words that broke the camels back. She sees through the Mist.
"We need to get to the car," Bella said, a great deal of ergency in her voice. I could sence that she was frazzled. She seemed to be scared, nervous, and desperate, all at the same time. "We need to go," she repeated. "Now. Angela needs to come too. Edward, where's Alice?"
"She's in the car, love, waiting for us. I'll call the family, and let them know we're coming home from school early."
Bella started rubbing her bracelet again. I looked at my wrist (hopefully for the last time today), to read the message. What was there brought tears to my eyes, and I'm sure I would have fallen. unless my Seaweed Brain had been holding me up.
We're telling them all. Even Angela. It's time they know about Annabeth and Isabella Swan; two of the greatest twin daughters of Athena and destined to save the world.
Okay, now here's something new. I decided to update a little early, but you still have to give me 110 reviews. Sound fair? I think so. So, this one had a little bit more drama than what I usually put in a chapter. But what do you think? Is it any good? I'm really too tired to torture Percy in a new way, so I'm gonna go with an old favorite: lisnting to my favorite genre of music, country, while being trapped in a cage. So please review. Thanks! I love you all.
