3. Chapter 3

Hey guys! Hozven here! What's up? I am just relaxing in the last moments of winter vaca. I am so upset because of school *tear, tear* Anyway, this is my next chapter, so, enjoy!

P.S.In this chapter Annabeth turns into a little bitch, because her pride (fatal flaw) is forcing her to not be sad, for she thinks that shows weakness. So, instead, she converts it into being mad, and takes it out on everyone else. This takes place about a month and a half into the 2 months Percy's gone.

ANNABETH POV

"What." I snapped, my voice hard as steel. Thalia looked at me in surprise, I guess because I haven't talked in about a month and a half or that I was mean. Whatever. I didn't care anymore. I was suddenly mad- mad about no Percy, mad that Poseidon had to take him, mad that Oceanus couldn't stay in his little Tatarus world. I was mad, no seething, that nobody seemed to care like I did. Then, I burst. White-hot anger came out of nowhere and suddenly my feet were up and walking to the mess hall. I didn't know what I was doing, but I was hungry and wanted food, NOW. Thalia got up, obviously confused.

"What are you doing?" She asked. I looked at her, my eyes furiously glaring at her.

"Why do you care? You didn't seem to care about Percy." I stated, looking ahead, my voice calm yet full of anger.

Thalia stopped suddenly, but I kept walking, not caring what she did. I didn't care anymore, I didn't care about anything but him.

"What?!" Thalia yanked me backward, and forced me to look her in the eyes. "Are you KIDDING ME?! We all miss him, we all cry, and we are all worried, but we don't show it to be strong FOR YOU! And then you come and say we don't care?! Annabeth, you don't know what your talking about!" With that, Thalia stormed away, but I didn't care. I walked into the mess hall and slammed m hand on the table, startling everyone. Did I mention I was hungry?

THALIA POV

How dare she? I mean, I get she misses him and everything, but, still. Say I don't care about my cousin? The one who saved me from being a tree? The one who was always there for me? Wow. So wrong. I mean, the camp has been keeping their mouths shut for Annabeth- and she says we didn't care?! I walked to the ocean, but only made it a few steps toward the sand before I got slaughtered by a wave. What the hell? I sputtered salt water. Then I looked out to the sea... wait- is that...? Percy?!
