Ok hey guys! So catch up from last time. Lacey invited Percy to her party on the lake the night before Capture the Flag. Is she going to finally get what she wanted which is Percy? *gasp*

*Percy PoV

"Annabeth! Hey I need to ask you something," I said running up to Annabeth. She was hunched over the table with a few other Hephaestus kids going over battle plans for the Capture the Flag game tomorrow. And when I say battle plans they were ligit battle plans. I remember P.E. Capture the Flag where you just run across the field trying to get the other teams flag and if you got caught you went to jail (which was just an invisible barrier instead of a steel cage. I need to suggest that to Chiron). Whenever there was a sore loser on people would say "oh relax it's just a game" except with Camp Half-Blood it was definitely not a game. It was more of "try not to get shikabobed by new campers who still didn't know how to wield a sword." Got to love camp games. When I got within twenty feet of where the Hephaestus councilor and Annabeth were talking, two swords landed infront of my chest.

"Sorry Percy, but only blue members allowed beyond this point," One of the Hephaestus kids who was evidently guarding the table said. I reconized him as Jake Hamilton. He helped lead a group in the battle against the Titans.

"Dude I'm not here to steal idea's I just need to talk to Annabeth. I mean it's just me."

"Yeah this whole guarding thing was her idea. And I believe her exact words were 'don't let anyone through even Percy.' So sorry, you have to take it up with the boss," Jake said pointing at Annabeth.

"Of course she did," realizing there was no way I was getting to her I called quite loudly "WISE GIRL. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE BOOK FOR A SECOND!" That seemed to get her attention. Her head shot up, eyes looking around finally landing on mine. I saw her tell Mason (the Hephaestus councilor) probably something around the lines of "hang only I'm going to kill him" and head my way. One thing about Annabeth almost everyone knows is don't mess with her while she is forming a battle plan. I just like to push the rules sometimes.

"Really Percy? You know I hate getting interrupted when I'm seriously thinking," Annabeth's look of flusterment (this is a word right? If not new word!) was extremely funny for some reason, but she didn't seem to like me laughing.

"Come on Annabeth, when are you ever not seriously thinking! Anyway Lacey is throwing a party tonight by the lake and invited me. Would you like to come as my date?" I threw her that smile that I knew she liked even though she tried to hide it.

"I don't know. I have a few more things to think over then I have to study up on some more greek and then-" I cut her off with a quick kiss. She seemed startled for a few seconds then leaned into it.

"Would you please shut up and say yes. When was the last time we went to a party? I heard the Aphrodite parties are great."

"Fine. I'll come. Besides, who has ever said no to coming to perfect Lacey's parties? I would hate to start something. But seriously I have to get back to strategies and if you're thinking of interrupting again, just remember my dagger skills."

"Ha love you too. I'll pick you up at 7!" With another quick kiss she walked back to the table and became Battle Strategist Annabeth Chase. The side of her that helped to defeat the titans. I had a few hours to kill before seven so I decided to climb the rock wall and try to make it to the top without getting burned or singed or smelling like something burning. I was getting ready to start climbing when Lacey grabbed onto my arm.

"Hey so am I going to see you tonight? I was hoping I would!" She said tossing her perfectly wavy hair over her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm coming. Annabeth and I should get there around sevenish." Her face clouded over when I said that and for some reason she didn't seem like happy, perky Lacey. There was something else there. Before I could think about it, the alternate face was gone and old Lacey was back.

"Oh ok! I didn't think she was going to be able to make it! I mean you know with Capture the Flag coming up tomorrow. I figured she would be in her cabin coming up with different strategies. Are you sure she can come? I would hate for her to ruin her pre-battle plans."

"Nah it's ok. I convinced her to come. She's going to love your party!"

"Hm great. Can't wait."

The sun was setting as I walked to the Athena cabin a few minutes before seven to find Annabeth with her head stuck in yet another book. She didn't hear me come in the door, but her sixth sense kicked in as soon as I was an arms length away. She glanced up, her grey eyes meeting me and sending my heart in that flutter beat that I always get around her. Before I could say anything, she beat me to it.

"Party! Crap!" She jumped up and ran to her draws to grab an outfit, "Out now! I will be ready in a few minutes!"

"Well good to know you didn't forget or anything."

"Sorry! I've been super busy. Now out out! I will meet you there in like ten minutes," She practically shoved me out the door at that point which was quite funny since she was a few inches shorter and I was heavier. But somehow she still managed. Once shoved ungracefully out of the cabin, I started to stroll across the camp to the ocean. Kids were already there filling up the beach. I saw mostly campers, but there were a few satyrs and nymphs in the mix also. Even after these few months, I was still amazed at how many new campers we had. The past few years before the gods swore to claim their children, Camp Half-Blood was lucky to have over 80 campers. Now we had to be pushing 150 with more every week. The gods may be a lot of things, but they kept to their promises. I have yet to meet another sibling of mine though. I spent the next few minutes making idle talk with a few of the campers before I felt an arm loop through mine. Coconut and vanilla perfume reached my nose.

"Hey Perc! Glad you could make it! But were's the blonde girl of yours? Annabell or something like that," She tossed her hair over her shoulder and her large brown eyes were focused on mine.

"She's going to be alittle late. She needed to get ready," I tried to pull my arm away from her's but she was much stronger than what I had given her credit for.

"Such a shame! Well while I have you here I was hoping to show you something. I found something along the beach that I thought you might be interested in," She was pulling me away from the party down the long stretch of beach along camp. Suddenly my mind felt foggy and I was having a hard time thinking. "You know you want to follow me and come see."

"But I have to wait for-" For some reason I was having a hard time remembering who I was suppose to be waiting for. The only thing I was thinking was how I wanted to follow Lacey.

"Come on, Percy. I'm sure whoever you were waiting for isn't as good as me."

"Coming," Follow Lacey. This seemed like exactly what I was suppose to be doing right? We walked away from the party and soon the lights from camp were just like coins behind us.

"So what did you want to show me?" I asked my head clearing slightly. Once I came around I wasn't sure how I had gotten here, with Lacey of all people. "Um how did you do that?"

"Do what? You walked on your own," She looked up at me with the most innocent expression on her face and something in me made me believe her.

"Right. But how come I am having a hard time remembering getting here?"

"That's strange. You are probably just stressed about Capture the Flag tomorrow," before I knew what was going on she was behind me rubbing my shoulders, "Yup just like I thought. You are super tense. You need to relax. Just relax Percy." That fogginess came over me again. Her voice was so sweet and innocent there was no way I couldn't do what she said. With her rubbing my shoulders and telling me to relax I could have fallen asleep.

"Isn't this great. Just you and me?"

"Great," why did I just say that? There was something I knew I had forgotten, but her voice made me forget everything.

"Why are you with Annabeth? She isn't good enough for you. But I am. You should be with me Percy. Kiss me Percy," With that I turned around to face her, about to tell her all the reasons why I was in love with Annabeth, but those last three words had some kind of power in them. I couldn't resist. Like physically resist. The only thing I could think about was kissing Lacey. Before I could do anything though she pressed her lips to mine. It all felt wrong, but I couldn't think straight with this fog on my mind. I heard some leaves rustle in the forest, and that small distraction helped to clear my head. Suddenly a flash of grey and blonde entered my mind and suddenly my mind was as clear as a sunny day at the beach. I pushed Lacey off of me and quickly backed up. She had this ridiculous smile on her face, which I suddenly hated.

"What the heck was that!" She started walking towards me again, but I backed up keeping as much distance between me and her as possible.

"What do you mean? You belong with me Percy and you know it. Annabeth isn't good enough for you." The dark, sinister look that I had seen earlier today came back making everything about her look darker.

"Your right she isn't good enough. She is better. She is way to good for me. But for some reason she picked me and I am in love with her. Stay away from me Lacey," I turned and started jogging back to the party. Lacey had done something to me that I am sure of. But what? She didn't give me anything to drink or eat. It's like her words had some affect on me. I will ask Chiron about that tomorrow. I am just so glad Annabeth didn't see any of that. Once I got back to the party, I looked around for a few minutes trying to spot Annabeth, but she wasn't there. Probably went back to her cabin to study some more. Following her example, I headed to my cabin to get ready for lights out. I needed a hot shower and I needed to wash my mouth out. Anything to forget this night. But I knew I wouldn't forget. I debated whether or not to tell Annabeth and decided on the later. Hopefully she would never find out about this mistake.

*Annabeth's PoV*

I arrived at the party ten minutes after Percy came to pick me up. I can't believe I forgot about this. Granted it wasn't that big of a deal, but I just felt bad because he seemed like he really wanted to go. When I got to the party I didn't see Percy which was very odd so I asked around and the one person I asked said that he saw Percy leaving with Lacey. Um what?! The guy pointed me in the direction they went and just like he said I could see two forms in the distance, so of course like any good girlfriend, I followed them. Once I got within thirty feet of them, I snuck into the woods so they wouldn't see me. I was getting closer when I realized that Lacey was rubbing Percy's shoulders like it was the most normal thing in the world. What is going on? I thought. I couldn't make out their words, but I did hear one "Annabeth". They were talking about me? Creeping closer, I made out the words "You should be with me" and then she kissed him. Part of me wanted to pull out my knife and race down there, but the other part of me was frozen, betrayed. This wasn't the Percy I've known for these past five years. This wasn't the Percy that watched my back though all the quest and perils we have been though. That Percy would have stuck with me, not stab me in the back. Before I knew what was going on, I spun around and ran through the woods. I was pretty sure I upset a few leaves, but at that point, I couldn't care less. Tears sprung into my eyes as I ran back to my cabin. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore and somewhere in the mix I drifted to sleep.

Hey guys! So yes drama I mean it's summer camp. What else do you suspect! And before you kill me for doing this to Percabeth, just trust me… This Capture the Flag will be interesting. So follow and please REVIEW! I am new at writing so any advice will be great!
