Wow I'm so sorry I thought my summer would be relaxing… I have a lot to do this summer so…sorry.
Chapter 13
Percy P.O.V
I love you Zoe! No that's too generic… oh gods what am I going to do?
I have sat in my cabin back in Camp Chaos for an hour trying to find the words to use when I propose to her.
Suddenly the door burst open, I snapped my head back to see who it was. It's Zoe… oh gods.
"Perseus Jackson I have had it! What is it you were going to tell me?"
"Well I wanted to do this at a better place," I said as I removed the velvet box from behind my back, "Zoe I have loved you for a thousand years and I have needed you for that long. You were always there for me even if when we first met you wanted to kill me." She laughed at that.
"You have the power to break and mend my heart and I hope you know that I will always love you. A thousand years is just a number but I believe it means that no matter what I will always love you."
I then went down on one knee, opened the velvet box, and asked "Will you marry me?"
She smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen and nodded her head up and down.
"Yes."
Marie P.O.V
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I look out at the valley were the noise is coming from. There stands one of the ugliest giants I have ever seen. He was at least thirty feet tall, with reptilian legs similar to a Komodo dragon. From the waist upwards he had green-blue armor. He also wore a breastplate shaped with faces of monsters. He had a human face with wild green hair that had basilisks hanging down from it. So all and all pretty ugly.
I ran towards the valley all while yelling "Captains that are here half of you grab your groups and come with me! The other half get your groups and go tell the people from the other camps and camp Half-Blood. Go, go, and go!"
The chaos of Camp Chaos then started. Two minutes later I had half of the camp behind me. To be part of the main Chaos Camp you either had to have done something spectacular before camp or had to have moved up ranks to becoming head of your camp and then on to Camp Chaos. So luckily I had the best of the best behind me.
As we approached the giant I noticed that there was more than one giant. All twelve of them… at least we would get this done faster.
"All right this is how it's going to go," I yelled as I could see the other half along with Percy and Zoe coming towards us, "Two captains to each giant! Zoe you will work with the strategy group since Knowledge is still at Camp Half-Blood! After you have defeated you giant help others! Percy you take Zeus's giant, I got Mr. Ugly!"
Percy gave me a thumbs up, telling me that he had heard me. From the corner of my eye I saw Percy and Zoe share a kiss. I then figured out that I didn't know where Nico is. I looked behind me and saw Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth standing there awkwardly.
"Oh… right," I stated, "Nico you come with me, Thalia go with Percy, and Annabeth… go with Zoe and the strategy squad."
They all nodded their heads and Nico came to stand next to me. I didn't have to worry since I had the strength of a God and could not die but I still worried about the rest of our camp. I soon noticed that Annabeth was walking towards me. I turned to Nico and told him to go check on Percy.
"Hey…," Annabeth said awkwardly, "I just want to tell you that… I'm sorry. I have been absolutely awful to you and I didn't deserve my goddess hood so… I gave it back. I'm so, so sorry for everything and-"
I cut her off, "Annabeth… giving that up shows me how truly sorry you are. I forgive you and… thank you for apologizing."
Me being the person I am, I leaned forward and hugged her. I pulled back and saw her smiling.
"Ready for battle?"
"I was born ready!" she replied. We smiled and laughed.
I now understand what she was like before the battle in New York. I see why my brother fell in love with her. She was pretty and when she laughed her whole face lit up. I'm glad we are friends now.
I looked around and saw everyone staring at us. I turned and smiled; by just that look people understood that she was good. I saw Percy and Zoe smiling as Annabeth apologized to both of them. She is not the best person but truly she went through a lot when she was younger. I think Luke's death is what made her go a little crazy. I respect that because I probably would have been worse if Percy or Nico died.
"Alright people," I yelled, "Let's do this!"
We charged our swords out; Nico and I ran towards
Polybotes. A light tint of red went over my vision and I suddenly felt extremely mad at this giant- and here I thought I had mastered my anger issues. The demon inside me started running for the giant- I needed to kill this monster.
I pulled out my double swords and stabbed the left one into the Giants leg. I then stabbed the right one in and pulled myself up. Then I took out the left sword and stabbed him again pulling myself up slowly but surely. One I reached the top of his leg I continued climbing him but instead used his back to avoid his arms. Nico was distracting him by stabbing him in the foot and then ran around the back, stabbing him in the heel.
I reached his head and took out the poison that out knowledge squad had made long ago. This poison is the only thing that can truly kill him. I ran on to his face and stabbed him in the eye. He screamed out in pain giving me just enough time to slip in the poison, he slowly started crumbling into grey dust.
I jumped off his head just in time but unfortunately I landed on top of Nico.
"Sorry!"
"S'okay." He slurred.
I helped him up and looked out at the valley. All the other battles were already over and I couldn't believe we finished up so quickly!
Someone tapped me on the shoulder- it was Percy.
"Hey Marie…"
"Perce… what's wrong… what happened?"
"Its Annabeth… she-"
All right people that's it for today! Now it's your choice if you want Annabeth to die! Leave me a review!
