As didn't really pay attention as Chiron announced the rules I was thinking more n strategy and trying to push Annabeth out of my mind until after the game. I went into what I like to call my strategy state of mind, which would make Annabeth just laugh if she ever knew about it. I knew that some of the Athena cabin were going to come after me, and I didn't want anyone else caught in the cross fire of the fight that was imminent tonight.

"Clarisse divide your cabin in two groups half attacking left flank, and the other half will stay and guard the flag, Conner Travis go right into the middle of 'em and try to draw as many people to them as possible, Apollo would do the same as Ares and provide support to everyone, and Nico help guard the flag" I decided before the game started.

"What about you?" Nico asked

"Well I think it's obvious that Athena's not out for victory tonight, they're here for me, so I'm gonna go right flank and wait for em to come get me" I said with a laugh

"Are you serious" Clarisse asked

"I've done my own scouting, don't worry I'll hold my own for a while, and it won't be all of them just the ones who were closest to Annabeth before I left" I said

"I don't like it, but it does make sense, good luck you'll need it" Nico said and prepared his gear.

When the conch horn sounded I took off at maximum speed tearing through the woods to where I figured I'd be stopped by the Athena cabin. I was right to, about halfway to the flag six of them jumped out wearing the symbol of an Owl. When they attacked it was a pretty fair fight, until someone said "Stop"

Then Annabeth stepped out and took of her helmet "This one's mine you guys get back to the game"

"You sure?" Malcolm asked

"Positive" she said

When they had left she said "It's time we settled this wouldn't you agree?" she said while taking out her knife

"I don't want to but if you think so, then I won't stop you" I told her

She just smiled and attacked me. She was the best there ever was no doubt, she knew that she could cut me but that didn't mean she could bloody me up some. First, she broke my nose. While she was attacking with her knife and I went for a block she did a round house kick, and the when I wheezed out my breath she came up with a double fisted upper-cut. I knew it was broken and once I got my breath simply straightened it, and went on fighting. Then she almost knocked one of my teeth out in her next few boxing moves, I didn't really fight back to my fullest, because I knew she deserved some payback on me for the hell I put her through. By the end of it I was on the ground with my nose and mouth bleeding, my eye I was pretty sure was going to be black in the morning.

"The brave Percy Jackson beaten by a girl" she gloated

"You broke my heart so I think you got off easy" she went on with a satisfied smirk

"You are such an idiot you know, you forgot about me you forgot about your lifeline" she said with such malice and conviction that I shot to my feet.

"What the" was all she had time to say before I had knocked her to the ground and go on top of her pinned her arms and legs

"I never forgot my lifeline, never" I said with so much fury in my voice that she looked shocked.

"I not only broke your heart I broke mine too, but I didn't do it for my own reasons I did it for you, all of it was for you!" I shouted at her

"How was it for me you never gave me a chance I never did anything wrong to you, I loved you and you left me how was that for me!" she yelled back

"Because if I didn't you future career would have never existed" I said back with pure steel in my voice.

"How!' she asked

"A one of the Olympians told me in a dream that if we didn't break up than they would go out of their way to make damn sure you never got your career, into the college you wanted, your name would have meant nothing to the architecture community, and you would go down in history as the only child of Athena to never have any credit and would have been publicly humiliated, I could never do that to you, but you ever dare say that I forgot my lifeline, I could never do that" I said with nothing but anger and malice in my voice

"What?" she asked clearly reeling

"You heard me I died the day I left you, you were and always will be the only one for me but I could never hurt you like they were planning" I said real quietly

"You mean I am the only one you've ever dated" she asked

"Yes" I said

"You did all that for me, why did you never tell me, I would have been okay as long as I had you" she said

"I couldn't risk it" I told her

"Percy whatever comes my way you are the only one I have ever and will ever want at my side" she said with affection.

"I feel the same way but I don't want to be the ruin of your career" I said

"You won't, just please come back" she said almost in tears

"Only if you're sure" I said

"I'm Positive, who was it anyway" she asked

I thought about it and said "It doesn't matter"

"Yes it does" she said

"Annabeth please it not important, I won't tell you until we cross that bridge" I said helping her up and hugging her

"Okay" she said and with that leaned up and kissed me.

You know it's funny, you tell the love of your life you love her and why you left her in the first place then she kisses you and you hug in the middle of monster, and demigod infested woods, and you never hear when anyone else until, they come thundering towards you holding banners.

As it turned out Hephaestus had won the flag, which I wasn't upset with at all. Everyone was shocked to see what had transpired between me and Annabeth. We didn't tell them a word though, it was none of their business, and we would tell our friends later on this week what happened. As for now I seriously needed to take a shower and heel up from the ass-whoopin my girlfriend just gave me.

What did you think Review!
