Hey! I didn't get a lot, but thx to those who did review! If there is anything I can do to improve my story, plz tell me! In this chapter, I'm making some crap up about the war so that it fits the story, but it doesn't really change anything from the battle, just some stuff that I needed to add.
N e way, on with the story…
I could still here her laughter when I walked into my cabin, but what I saw shocked me more than the fact that Annabeth might have kissed me back.
There was an image of woman with a shimmering form. One second she was a beautiful woman with golden hair wearing a shimmering headdress. The next she was a hideous hag with flat and greasy hair wearing a black outfit, strangely similar to what you would imagine Death wearing.
Hecate.
What was she doing here? This can't be good, considering she was on the Titan's side of the war a few weeks ago. She had been injured and fled the battle. Nobody knew what happened though.
'This can't be good.' I repeatedly thought until she spoke.
"Perseus. How unpleasant to see you." She purred.
I grimaced, but didn't say anything.
"Don't be rude. Don't ignore me." She said forcefully.
"Wha-what do you want." I stuttered.
"Oh simple really. I'm just here for a little something that you can help me with….revenge." She purred again.
"Wh-why? Who?" Was all I could stutter.
"I believe she is a friend of yours, Athena's brat, Blondie." My eyes went wide. What does she want with Annabeth? I decided to play dumb. No, it wasn't hard.
"Who? Sorry I'm not friends with Athena's kids. Do you not know who my father is? Athena is his worst enemy!" I pretended to be appalled.
But she wasn't buying any of it.
"You know exactly who I am talking about, what's her name? Anniebell? No, no. No! I got it! Annabeth! That's it, isn't it? Annabeth.
I tried to keep my face expressionless, but I guess I failed, because she laughed triumphantly.
"I knew it! Do you want to know why I want to get her?"
"You better not touch her!" I screamed.
"Feisty." She mumbled. "Anyway, I'll tell you why me and Annabeth have our…differences. You see, I'm sure you've heard that I dropped out of the battle shortly before Kronos got to Olympus, yes? Well do you know why?"
I couldn't find my voice so I just shook my head.
"So, she didn't tell any body." She mumbled. "Well after she was injured, that night she was unprotected, all alone in that room of hers, and me, having unlimited access to magic, got myself to her room no problem. She awoke instantly. I went over to her, on a mission for Kronos that is, to get her to rethink her choice on the gods side. Kronos knew if she changed, you would, too."
I was going to disagree, but I couldn't do it, because truthfully, I don't know if I would have stayed on the gods side if Annabeth hadn't. But I knew she would never betray her mother like that.
"But before I could even tell her that I came in peace, for the time, she said some words in ancient Greek, words I recognized immediately. She had put a spell on me! Can you believe it! I was so angry, that I wasn't thinking, and said a spell, going to blow her up from her inside out."
I grimaced. What if that had actually happened! I don't know what I would do without Annabeth.
"But I hadn't really paid attention to which cures she placed on me, but when my spell fired at me, I realized the little cunt had placed a reverse curse on me. All my spells would be temporarily backfired at me instead of the intended target. I was weakened so I returned to the main Titan base until I gained my streangth" I gritted my teeth. How dare she call Annabeth that!
"So, I need your help young hero, at a chance of revenge. I need you to do two very simple things for me. One, let me into the borders of you camp. And two, help me get her alone so that I can do with her what I want. You may be wondering why I cant just go to her myself, with my magic, but you see, Athena realized that I was out for revenge, and she placed a protective shield around her for the time being. I cannot come within 10 feet of her, and my magic will not effect her unless I am in person. I cant even iris message her. I'm actually very surprised you daddy didn't do the same for you" She mused.
"Never!" I shouted at her.
"There will be a consequence if you refuse." She warned.
I went to swipe the message away, so that her form would dissolve, but my feet wouldn't move.
"uh uh uh." She said like she was talking to a kid who just got his hand caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"I told you, there will be a consequence. No escaping the inevitable."
Before I could respond, she pointed her finger at me and started chanting a curse in ancient Greek. To be honest, I was so scared that I couldn't even understand what she was saying.
All of a sudden, my body was filled with excruciating pain, and I fell to the floor in agony. So this was her consequence? Pure pain?
The pain kept coming, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I registered that Hecate had stopped chanting, and was smiling very Cynically at me.
"Now, young hero, you better listen to me and you better listen good, because I am only going to say this once. The only way out of this…form is to trust your life with one person. The person most dear to you has the answer" I had no idea what she was talking about but I tried to lock the information in my mind somewhere around the pain.
Slowly, the pain subsided, but I stayed on the floor, exhausted.
Then Annabeth burst into the cabin, and when I looked up, Hecate was gone.
I turned toward Annabeth, whose eyes were wide with confusion, realization, then finally, terror.
"What's wrong, Annabeth?" I barked, wait BARKED?
Annabeth gasped and ran towards me, crouched down next to me and whispered, "Percy?" Her gray eyes were wide and filled with concern.
I looked down at myself and found that I was hairy, very, very hairy (A/n haha…sorry, I just had to put that in there.)
I gasped, but it sounded more like a mix between a grunt and a soft bark.
'What did she do to me?' I thought and looked back up to Annabeth, both of our eyes wide and scared.
