Chapter 2

Annabeth POV

A/N- Hello everyone! We worked on this chapter for a few hours. Sorry its so short though.

Disclaimer: We don't own PJO at all.

I couldn't help it. I was jealous. Jealous, for all the power he was given, that Aphrodite thought him to be hers. Well, he was mine. As the power was given to him, he writhed in agony. I saw him, and I stared at his body, terrified. He was glowing, just like Luke. Tears filled my eyes. Then Percy rose. I gasped, fear bright as day. His hair… It was silver, and his eyes… Oh gods, his eyes were so beautiful. But it was his aura that scared me most. It was the power of a god. No, MORE than a god. And his lips…

No Annabeth. Don't think about that kind of stuff. I just want….No!

I couldn't help it. I was in love with the spawn of my mother's enemy. Percy smiled at me, and I blushed. I tried to avoid it, but Aphrodite works in mysterious ways.

Aphrodite swung her head back and forth, trying to find the source of the love waves. She spied me, and she smiled, but that turned into a look of fury. She grabbed me, and went outside.

"What the Hades are you thinking?" she hissed at me.

"W-what?" I stuttered nervously.

"Don't play silly with me, girl," she spat. "I know you love him, but he is mine!"

I stared at her in horror. It isn't wise to get Aphrodite angry. "I don't know what you mean." I snapped back.

"Fine." she sneered. "Then stay away from him."

I nodded, and she seemed satisfied. She returned to her bright cheery self.

When I got back into the hall, I saw a wolf in the middle, but it was silver with colorful eyes. it stared at me, and it cocked its head.

"Aww… Cute puppy," I squealed. I rushed over and scratched it behind his ear. He glanced at me, confused. Like a what are you doing? look.

Annabeth, it's me. A voice said in my mind.

"Percy?" I gasped. I blushed furiously. "I'm sorry, if I'd known-"

He interrupted, It's ok Annabeth. You didn't know. Besides, that felt good.

"It did, did it?" I said mischievously. I started tickling his underside, and he squirmed under my grip.

Annabeth, stop! Stop it! That tickles! he yelped, laughing all the while.

I ignored him, continuing my assault. He sent a little jolt into me, knocking me back. I frowned at him. He whined, pleading mercy.

"Fine, fine, I give up," I grumbled.

He sighed in relief before changing back into a human. His aura immediately overpowered me, and I stumbled.

"Annabeth?" he asked, concerned.

"I'm fine," I mumbled. "It's your aura… It's giving me a major headache."

"Oh, sorry," he said hastily. He quickly turned it down a little. I sighed in relief. He gave me that crooked grin of his, and I blushed, before turning away. He walked away, and I watched him longingly. Aphrodite frowned at this, before giving me a warning glare. I stared at her, alarmed. Gods, I didn't know she was so in love with Percy! As if she could hear my thoughts, her scowl deepened.

Percy looked at me, confused.

"What?" I said, feeling suddenly self-conscious.

"You love me," he whispered.

"How do you know that?" I said alarmed.

He smirked at me knowingly. "I can read your thoughts now. Courtesy of Hera."

"I do not!" I growled, furious and embarrassed.

"Oh, you totally do!" he said as his smirk grew even more. It was so wide, it would split his face soon.

"Hey Percy!" Aphrodite called, jealous.

"What do you want, Aphrodite?" he snapped.

She winked. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to have some fun with me."

"No, Aphrodite. For the millionth time, no." he said exasperated.

Now she looked hurt. "But why?" she whined. Her expression darkened. "Is it because you don't think I'm beautiful?"

His eyes widened in alarm. Like me, he knew that she was not one to mess with. "No, it's because I already have a crush." His eyes penetrated mine.

Her eyes widened with disbelief before growling with fury.

"Perseus, you love me." she hissed, putting as much charmspeak as she could in her words.

"No, I don't, Aphrodite." he spat. "Stop trying to get me to fall in love with you! Get over it!" Then his eyes darkened with power. "Don't forget, I am more powerful than you now."

"Stop disrespecting my lady, Perseus," Ares said. He took out his sword, ready to charge at a moments notice.

"What, you think you can beat me, Ares?" Percy said calmly. "I beat you when I was 12, and now I'm 16 and I've been blessed by all of you." At this statement, Ares' patience finally snapped. He charged at Percy with his sword swinging. I see Percy feinting and blocking all the attacks like it was easy for him. I gawked at them.

"Quiet!" Zeus roared. "Stop this madness!"

Percy looked at him, and nodded. He wasn't even out of breath or sweating.

"You truly love me?" I whispered.

He nodded. "I have always loved you, Wise Girl."
