Forgive, Forget, Forgone
Thalia
I could feel Percy tense beside me and I looked around noticing we were surrounded. Percy made a quick gesture and brought out Riptide, his long bronze celestial sword in pen form. We heard a laugh behind us that was instantly muffled; but not soon enough. My Husband turned on his heels while uncapping the pen as it grew, and grew until it was two feet long monster and half-blood nightmare; when in Percy's hands that is.
I had always thought that as soon as we saw Annabeth, Percy would turn into the monster I had changed, and unleash a load of his power at once not giving them any chance at all. But I was wrong; when we turned to see a girl with blond curly hair and startling grey eyes, one hand busy covering a boy's mouth while the other was holding onto his for dear life. The boy looked a lot like Percy on the outside, but as I looked deeper into his eyes I was just plain out offended; he seemed to be looking me up in down in sheer need I felt the need to slap the boy just like I did Percy, except I wouldn't apologize!
Then suddenly it dawned on me who the girl was when she wheezed out my love's name, "Percy?" I felt Percy tense like she caused him pain which I knew was true, but instead of him exploding it was me!
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little slut Annabeth Chase! Is this your new boyfriend; the one you left Percy for? Well, my Husband could have, and did, better!" I spat practically shaking the ground in my anger. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and looked up to see Percy's understanding, sea green eyes. Although the emotionlessness was no longer there, there was no more goofy Percy unless he was in a GREAT mood and it was just us. I thought back to the first question I asked myself when I saw the Percy Chaos had claimed; what could have been so bad to take away the good out of Percy? But this time I knew the answer; it was because of her!
Annabeth looked like I had poked her between the eyes and I felt a victorious smirk pass across my lips. "H-Husband? Percy… you?" I nodded, still smug at the satisfaction of seeing the realization of loss pass across her face. She thought the next thing she said would allow her to look smug but it only made me laugh, "Artemis won't be very happy now will she? Her lieutenant falling in love with the enemy?"
When my laughing fit passed, I looked her dead in the eye, "Annabeth dear, the gods make, how shall I put this, sacrifices for the greater good. I, me in case you don't understand, was their plan to keep the world at peace! And frankly, I'd much rather be with Percy than be without him!" And just to prove my point I swung my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply, making Annabeth stop breathing. I smiled through the kiss and heard Annabeth gasp when Percy pulled away with pure love in his eyes.
Then he spoke up just loud enough for everyone to hear, "Everyone, for those of you who are new, this is Thalia Jackson," Me and Percy got married before we left for battle, just an exchange of rings; we planned on having a real wedding afterwards. "Daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis and Queen of Olympus!" If it was possible for the crowd to be more surprised, they were!
"Enough of this, they WILL NOT take Olympus! You couldn't keep a girl, brother; do you think you could keep a wife and keep her safe?" Mark looked at me hungrily and just like I thought he would react, Percy, quick as lightning, (No Pun Intended) put his sword at Marks throat.
"Don't you ever look at her like that AGAIN!" I was a bit surprised he didn't care about what Mark said but Percy felt my discomfort in the way Mark was looking at me and that was what angered him most. I smiled up at my Husband; how did I get so lucky? I was suddenly broken out of my thoughts as all hell broke loose, and I know EXACTLY what that looks like.
Mark charged Percy as I charged Annabeth. Chaos had fabricated a special type of metal for the making of my sword, Βασίλισσα Ουρανού, which meant Sky Queen. It looked like Black Stygian but was gold on the inside with twice the force of celestial bronze. I smiled as our weapons clashed and Annabeth looked a bit stunned at the strength behind my sword, and how she struggled at keeping balance. I could feel Percy off to my left battling it with Mark, but I also felt that Percy wasn't trying at all and still winning. This only made my smile brighten as I decided to wait for Percy to finish off Mark before I would finish off Annabeth.
I heard Mark scream and knew that Percy had gotten him, so I slashed at Annabeth's knees making it not possible for her to rise again. Annabeth looked over and started to cry, quickly looking away. There, dead lie Mark on the ground. When I finally got Annabeth's attention she looked at me with grey eyes I fell in love with years ago when she was only small and defenseless. But Annabeth had changed; she wasn't the same girl her and Luke had found in an alley holding a hammer.
"You wouldn't kill me Thalia; I'm like your family, you don't hurt the person you love… that's just wrong!" Her last comment pushed me over the edge, "You are one to talk Annabeth; you betrayed Percy, you hurt him… does that mean you never loved him? Or are you a hypocrite?" Then right when I was about to strike down, Percy grabbed my sword from my hands.
"Killing's not the way to go Thalia, she hurt me but death isn't a punishment worth giving. Annabeth, has already paid for her mistakes," Percy motioned to the motionless heap that once was the great god Mark, "She will live on Olympus and restyle it to our taste… She has hurt me Thalia, but I have learnt to let go!" He simply smiled at me and pulled by the hand into the Elevator, and pressed the 600th floor. When the doors opened I flinched; here I was, the birthplace of my nightmares, and the place I swore to never return!
Me: Oooo, that sounds eery!
Thalia: Ugh, i hate that place! But that was kinda fun yelling at Annabeth!
Me: Yeah i can't believe Percy forgave her!
Thalia: Yeah, what was that kelp-for-brains? Ya still got feelings for her?
(Percy Sighs)
Percy: Of course not Thalia, but i can let go and forgive!
Thalia: Yeah well i wanted more revenge on Annabeth...
Me: Oh don't worry, she'll do something completly unforgivable... REVENGE IS ON THE WAY!
Percy: Why do i have a bad feeling about this?
Me: Because your gut feeling is right; anyway dear fans please read and REVIEW! (The last part is really important!)
Thalia: But most importantly, enjoy my freak out on Annabeth!
(Me and Thalia Laugh like maniacs while Percy shakes his head)
Percy: Help me!
