To Fight Through it All
Chapter 2
Annabeth's Point of view
Percy had left to go back to his cabin to think and I still sat where I was from the beginning.
Ahh, Zeus's Fist.
It was as if it represented such anger at the world.
I felt as if that anger was inside me for the time being.
I was Zeus's granddaughter after all.
Although I highly doubted this, some type of anger was in fact inside of me. Anger at the world, anger at people, and anger at their decisions to life.
Life seemed to go so quick.
Sometimes I felt as if it was being taken away from me bit by bit, very slowly.
As I was happy that Percy and I were ok, I knew that there would be much more involvement in the subject that happened.
I wanted him to switch back, and if he couldn't, then there would be no way that I would want to stay with him.
You see, Percy and I got into a major argument a few weeks ago and he thought that I wouldn't talk to him again because of some things we both said to each other…
So he went to his father's underwater kingdom and his father made him an Honorary Minimal God.
It was only for him to do work in his kingdom and help the creatures of the Sea out, but he didn't think.
So yes, my Percy was now a Minor God.
Did I know that Poseidon had the power to do this?
No.
Did Zeus know about this?
No.
Was this a good thing?
Absolutely not.
As it broke my heart, it also violated a rule the Gods made a long time ago.
Thinking with all that was in my mind, I jumped down from a part of the structure and I slowly walked toward the Arena to practice my sword fighting.
In my angry moods, I loved to take it out on a practice dummy.
As I stepped in I saw Percy fighting one and on the head was a piece of paper tied down that read, "Mistakes" I immediately felt guilty, but knew that none of this was my fault.
I was the one who was simply mad, but still loved my Seaweed Brain.
He was the one who had no understand of what love was, so he made a mistake.
Poor Percy.
As I grabbed a broadsword, I ran over to him and clashed mine with his carefully.
My mouth gave a clear smirk and kissed his cheek.
"Show me whatchya got Perce." I challenged him.
He smiled gratefully and faced me.
"Look Annabeth, I promise I will get all of this worked... Ow!" He screamed in disgust.
"Come on Seaweed Brain. Pull the kelp out of her head! I said show me whatchya got!" Again, I smiled.
He raised his sword quickly and slashed playfully at me so he wouldn't actually hurt me.
I slashed his arm and pierced him slightly, just making him bleed.
His face was priceless as he was stunned that I hurt him a little bit.
"I'm a naughty girl Percy, you should have known better. I don't play by the rules Kelpo." I gave him a dashing smile and raised my light sword.
Percy waved his hand heroically and a little tiny stream of water that came out of the water fountain in the corner of the stadium hit my face.
It was a funny little gesture that had no effect on me, until I started to get soaked from it.
"Percy stop! Ugh!" I yelled annoyed.
Then, he slashed at me for real and I deflected his blade, but caused damage to my own strength.
Riptide was tough.
It always had that better strength that I could and would never overcome.
So, I moved my sword down on Percy again, and again, and again.
He defended each time and his legs were at an angle that kept him balanced.
I kept hitting him but each time I hit him, my hits were getting softer and softer.
You need a plan Annabeth, think!
My hands pulled back and I did a quick spin attack that caught Percy in the side.
He bellowed in pain but honestly, it did not hurt him because of his special spot.
He clicked his wrist and out formed a shield that Tyson made for him.
He charged me with it and it hit my body.
As I fell backwards and stumbled into the ground, I ran way and picked up a double sided ax.
I swung it to the right, left, then it went up in the air and Percy quickly held his shield up.
As I sung it down hard, it came down on his shield and made a big THUD sound.
I threw the heavy ax at him, which he easily dodged, and decided to fight the rest of the fun battle with my knife.
As I took it out, Percy came down hard with Riptide on me and I dodge rolled to the left to avoid being clobbered.
I stabbed Percy in his chest, but missed.
As I pulled it back to my side, he swung his sword, but not at me.
He knocked the knife out of my hands and pushed me down with his shield.
Percy made his shield fold up, and he capped Riptide.
He got on me and said, "Well, who is the stronger one now Wisegirl?" He bragged.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Well Played Percy."
Jealousy came over me due to the loss, and he helped me up.
His arms suddenly wrapped around me like he was afraid danger would interrupt us.
Nothing came, and finally he kissed my forehead sweetly.
"I love you." He then said.
"I love you too, my little God." I said in a little voice.
He frowned and kissed me again.
"I'm so lucky that I haven't lost you due to my stupid decisions." He professed.
"I'll never try to lose you Percy, but it was wrong what you did." I mentioned.
He nodded and we both hugged each other for a while.
A tear crept down his face as we were in a position that I could see him.
I pulled away, wiped his tear from him, and kissed him slightly.
As I smiled, it was cut short.
The doors busted open and some Apollo kid ruined it.
"You guys had better come quickly. This is bad." Percy and I looked at each other and ironically, we both bit our lips at that very same moment.
Thats chapter 2! How is it? Tell me please!
