Chapter 4
Dear daddy,
Being Hit-Girl is pretty hard, but it's getting easier now that I have a sidekick to help me. He's awesome, nice, kind of a dweeb, but, he's really great. Oh, yeah, and we made out in a bathroom, yours to be exact.
I've kept my promise of writing to you everyday. It's getting to be a little hard to remember every day, but still, I've been doing it for ten years and I'm not going to stop anytime soon. Besides, I love talking to you.
I've known Annabeth ten years now. We're really close. We tease each other, but we're friends. I've been training her, her best friend, and my sidekick everyday. I'm thinking about leaving Marcus and living with Annabeth, mainly because Marcus and I can't stand to be in the same room together. It's been bad since I found out about Annabeth and all that.
I just wanna go back to normal, if there is a such thing as normal.

"Are you ready to go, yet?" Dave asks. I toss my journal under my bed and look up at him.
"Yeah, sorry, it's just, I had to write something. It's...something I do." I reply. Dave looks at me oddly. "What are you staring at, you douche?" I tease.
As soon as I say that he takes his eyes off of me quickly. "Um, it's just I've never seen you in a dress..." he trails off. I roll my eyes.
"Whatever, let's just go out already. And by the way, don't get used to me in a dress, because I'm never wearing this again," I snarl, frowning at the stupid pink dress I'm wearing. "I can't believe you made me wear this."
Dave laughs. "Maybe I wanted to see you look like a girl for once," He says. I scowl at him.
"Hey! My favorite color is purple, you know!" I argue. "Let's go, douche bag."
So apparently Dave and I are pretending we're on a date in order to take down a gang of douche bags tonight. So far, it's just been really awkward.
Once we get to the restaurant, Dave grabs my hand and leads me in. I turn red but I manage to hide it pretty well. I scope out the place until I see the group of guys we're supposed to be taking down.
"That's them," I tell Dave. Just as I say that, one of the guys comes over to us and looks over me like if he's scanning me or something.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM, girl you sexy!" he slurs as if he was drunk.
"Get away from her you drunk bastard," Dave growls.
The man grabs my wrist and pins me against the wall. I try to punch him in the face but he's surprisingly stronger than me. He sloppily kisses my neck and I knee him in the balls, but he still kisses me. He starts making out with me and I gag as I feel him shoving his tongue down my throat.
All of a sudden I feel the man get lifted off of me and I see Dave slam him into the floor. I see blood squirt as Dave pulls out a knife and stabs him in the throat. Everybody in the restaurant is watching the fight and I walk away from Dave and the guy and start to lead everybody outside, claiming that it's a fight between two drunk guys and it could get pretty dangerous.
Once all the civilians are outside, I walk back into the restaurant and see that at least three people are dead already. Damn, Dave, somebody got pissed off, didn't we?
I watch as Dave stabs another guy in the chest, and I start to think that maybe he can handle the fight on his own. Unfortunately, that's when the guys start piling up on Dave and he can't handle it anymore when one of the guys pulls out a gun.
"Do I really have to save your ass again?" I groan. I pull a gun out of the back of the ribbon on my dress and shoot one of the guys in the balls. The guy screams in pain and I shoot him in the head to finish him off. I shoot the other three guys, too. More guys appear out what seems like nowhere and outnumber Dave and I by a large number. Still, I don't worry. I could take all these bitches by myself.
I take my throwing knives out from the ribbon of my dress (its amazing how many weapons you can fit into a ribbon of a dress) and kill at least eight different men with them, but we are still outnumbered by at least ten.
I feel my back touch Dave's, and realize that we're fighting back to back. I look around and see Dave beating people with a fucking sink (don't even ask me about that) and I can't help but notice the six pack and muscles that are visible from his ripped shirt. I can't help but to stare at his hotness.
He turns and smiles at me, but his smile disappears and he yells, "MIN BEHIND YOU!"
I turn around and see a guy holding a combat knife over me. I kick him in the knee and hear a crunch, and he falls to the ground. I take the knife from his hand and gouge his eyes out with it, blood splattering against my pink dress (and the blood actually makes it look better).
Another guy comes and I throw the other guys combat knife into the new guy's head. It lands in his forehead and he slumps to the ground. There's about one guy left now, and I look at Dave with a smirk.
"Would you like to do the honors?" I ask. Dave smiles back before slamming the sink on the guy's head.
Once the guy is dead we run out of the restaurant and into a dark alley. Dave pins me against the wall and starts to kiss me. I kiss back and then he abruptly pulls away. "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that," he says.
I smile, "There's still money on daddy's credit card, want to go to a hotel?"
He smirks and we hop onto the Hit-Bike and drive to the nearest hotel.
Annabeth's POV
Percy takes my hand and drags me into the movie. I smile, watching him being happy makes me really happy. We sit down in the very back and Percy still hasn't let go of my hand. Just as the movie starts I see a familiar face walk in. Luke Castellan.
"Oh crap," I mutter.
"What?" Percy whispers.
"Please do me a favor and duck," I whisper. He does as I say and I say, "My boyfriend is here and I honestly do not want to see him right now."
"I have an idea, here take my jacket, and we'll sneak out," Percy says taking off his varsity jacket and draping it over my shoulders. We stand up and I slip my arms through the sleeves and pull the hood over my head. I pull the jacket closer to me and inhale the scent of Percy. He puts his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. As we pass Luke, I see him kissing a girl with short choppy black hair. Tears fill my eyes as we leave the theater.
"You okay?" Percy asks noticing my tears. I continue to walk out of the theater and when we reach Percy's car I finally shake my head in response. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asks, gently turning my head towards his and wiping the tears off of my cheeks.
"Luke was kissing that girl," I whisper. Anger replaces the worry in his eyes as he pulls me in for a hug. I sob on his shirt hear him telling me that it will be okay.
After a while I get a phone call. The caller ID reads Luke.
I'm about to answer when Percy takes the phone from my hands. "Hello?" Percy says as I see him put the phone on speaker.
"Hey, um is Annabeth there? And who the hades are you and why do you have mygirlfriends phone?" Luke asks.
"Yes, she is here but she will not talk to you, you fucking douche bag. And she is no longer your girlfriend because you're a two timing dick head," Percy yells.
"Seriously, who the hades are you?" Luke asks with annoyance in his voice.
"Annabeth's new boyfriend and I won't cheat on her! Now goodbye and DO NOT CALL MY GIRLFRIEND AGAIN!" Percy yells.
Percy hangs up and I pull him towards me and kiss him. His lips taste like the sea. After a minute we pull apart and Percy looks at me as if he wants to say something.
"Annabeth, I need to tell you something," He says. I grip the edges of the jacket. What if it's something really bad? What if he's dying or something. My eyes widen with worry and I look into his eyes, letting myself drown in those pools that are sea-green colored.
"Go ahead," I say, taking a deep breath.
Percy lets out a breath too and finally says, "I'm a demigod, Annabeth. I'm the son of Poseidon."
"Oh thank the gods. I thought you were dying or something!" I exclaim, allowing myself to breath.
He smiles as he starts the engine and drives to the restaurant.
During dinner I finally start to notice all these little things about Percy that are obvious hints to him being a demigod, like his ADHD and dyslexia, and so many other things that I now see so clearly. It all makes sense now.
Halfway through the dinner I hear my sister's voice behind me.
"Hey Annabeth!" Mindy slurs, like she's drunk. I turn around and see her standing behind me. She looks terrible, her dress is on the wrong way and her hair's a mess. I sigh and say, "Percy, I'll be right back, I need to talk to my sister."
I get up and pull Mindy away from the table and take her outside. Finally, I ask, "Are you drunk?"
Mindy shrugs, "Maybe a little..."
I almost slap her. "What the hell have you been doing all night? I thought you were going out on the job!" I exclaim.
"Well, Dave and I did, but then..." she trails off, looking away.
This time I do slap her, trying to knock some sense into her. Mindy scowls and says, "Ok, I'm not drunk anymore."
"Ok, now tell me what happened tonight!" I yell.
"Oh my gods, fine, I'll tell you!" She says. I notice blood stains on her dress and bruises on her face and on her neck. I also notice that she has a bunch of hickies on her neck.
"Did Dave get you drunk and rape you or something?" I demand. What the hell happened to my sister?
"No, Annabeth. OK, Dave and I went out on the job. Things went well, we killed a bunch of cocksuckers and stuff. But then, afterwards...OK, we rented a hotel and fucked, OK?" Mindy says with a bit of annoyance in her voice. "What happened to YOU, Annabeth? Who got your panties into a bunch?"
I remember seeing Luke kissing that girl in the theaters and tears almost spring to my eyes, but then I remember that I have a new boyfriend. But I really don't want to talk about that. Even though I'm with someone better, it's still a little painful.
"I'll tell you when I want to talk about it. But why did you fuck Dave? Seriously, I really wanna know how you going out on the job leads to you having sex with a guy that's three years older than you," I ask. Mindy rolls her eyes. "Seriously, Mindy, why would you do that? I mean, are you even gonna date him or did you just...you know?"
"Isn't Percy waiting?" Mindy asks.
I sigh. "You're right. But we're not done talking about this, Mindy! And the next time I see Dave, I will fucking slap him. And if he hurts you, I'll kill him, I swear." I say before walking back into the restaurant.
Percy's eyes light up when he see's me and I sit down next to him and Mindy sits across from us. I take Percy's hand and gently squeeze it, he squeezes it back and I smile. I feel my phone vibrate and see that Luke is calling me.
"I'll be right back, I have to use the restroom," I say as I kiss Percy on the cheek and walk towards the bathroom.
I call Luke back and when he answers I snarl, "What the hell do you want?"
"I'm at your house, throwing pebbles at your window, now open the dam window and let me in Juliet," Luke's voice says.
"I'm not home, Luke." I reply with a sigh.
"Where are you then? I deserve to know where my girlfriend is," Luke says.
"I'm not your dam girlfriend, you asshole. It's your fault that I'm not. You're the one that decided to suck face with Thalia at the movies."
"I wouldn't cheat on you, you know that Annabeth."
"Now you're gonna lie about it? That's real nice Luke. It hurt when I saw you kissing her, but it hurts worse hearing you lie about it."
I feel my phone get snatched out of my hands and at first I think someone's trying to rob me when I notice that it's Mindy who stole my phone. "What the Hades Mindy?" I ask, trying to grab the phone.
"Who the fuck is this and why did you hurt my sister, you asshole?" Mindy snarls into the phone.
I can hear Luke's muffled reply. "It's her boyfriend. Who are you?"
Mindy scowls. "She already has a boyfriend, and he's certainly not a douche bag like you. If you fucking call this number one more God-dam time, I will find you and rip your dick off, you prick." Mindy hangs up and hands me my phone.
Finally the tears I've been holding in at the memory of Luke and Thalia kissing spill over and Mindy pulls me into a hug. "Do you want me cut his tongue out?" Mindy asks.
I laugh and sniffle, "Are you trying to comfort me?" I ask.
"That was the idea..." She replies.
We hear a knock on the door and Percy's voice come through it. "Are you guys OK in there?" He asks awkwardly.
Mindy and I laugh and I wipe my tears away. "Yeah." I say.
When I open the door, I throw my arms around Percy's neck and hug him tight. He hugs me back and we stay like that until Mindy's phone starts ringing.
"Hello?" She asks. Her smile dissappears from her face and worry replaces it. "Okay, we'll be there in a sec." She hangs up and turns to Percy and I, "Its Dave. He's been shot."
