I sat down at the Poseidon table, while Annabeth and Grover where eating.

I had no idea what to do about this Grover situation. Honestly, I want to slap Chiron upside the head. Why would he make ME do this? Does he not know that Grover is my BEST FRIEND? Why can't he just … make someone or something else do it … by accident? Well, not that I want him to die …

"Percy?" Grover asked me.

"Huh? Oh sorry…" I didn't realize I was staring at him while I was thinking.

"So um… Anyways..." Annabeth started, trying to break the silence.

"Finish up!" Chiron yelled, "We will start training in 5 minutes."

Annabeth finished her food, got up and threw it away, then came back to the table. She just stood there and looked at me.

"Hey um Percy?" she asked, then nodded her head toward Chiron.

Oh, she wants to go talk to him with me. Duh.

I got up and we started walking over to Chiron, leaving Grover at the table.

"Where are you going?" Grover asked us.

"We need to take care of some … important … business." Annabeth answered before I could open my mouth.

"Business. Like what…?"Grover asked, "Need some help?"

"NO!"I yelled at him. Everyone grew quiet and looked at me. "No…"I then whispered. "Were fine. It's ok. Just… stay here." I said, slightly raising my voice.

"Oooookay?" Grover said, quizzically.

"Nice. Way to play it cool." Annabeth said sarcastically, and shook her head as we started walking over to Chiron.

Chiron was conversing with Mr. D, the camp director.

"Peter. Annabeth. What are you doing here? I'm having a chat right now, that you are intruding. Which, come to think of, I could really care less about," Mr. D said, and Chiron glared at him, "So please, tell me what you want. Take as long as you'd like."

"Well, um actually," I started, "We came here to talk to Chiron."

"Oh. Well it seems you have no interest in talking to me. Although, feel free to take him away from me. Please." Mr. D said.

Chiron walked over to us, "I think we shall go to a more… private,-" he looked at Mr. D, who smiled and waved, "location."

"I agree."Annabeth said, in a harsh tone.

We walked to the Poseidon cabin, and nobody was in there.

"So, why did you want to talk-"

"Don't even act like you don't know."Annabeth interrupted Chiron. "First of all, you can't kill Grover! That's horrible! And second, you can't just make Percy do it. That is cruel, and disgusting."

"Annabeth, poor, dear, confused child. You don't know what you're talking about. It's for the best. He is useless, and will only make us weaker."

"He is ONE person!" Annabeth yelled. "ONE person isn't going to affect us! If anything it will make us stronger. Grover has some capabilities. Capabilities that other people don't have. Everyone is special in their own way. And if you can't accept that maybe we should just kill you, hm? Will that make you happy?!" Annabeth slowly started raising her voice as she spoke.

I smiled, impressed, I didn't know she could be like that… defending me… it was… hot. No wait, what am I saying… I don't have feelings for her anymore… Do I?

"Haha! You are pathetic. Your whimsical debate won't change my decision. Percy is killed Grover. That's the end of it." Chiron said

He turned around and started walking away.

"Don't you fucking walk away. Get back here, coward!" Annabeth yelled at him

That made Chiron stop dead in his tracks. "Don't you talk to me that way, young lady. I'm am your elder, and you treat me with respect. I am no coward. The decision has been made. Now if you'll excuse me, training is about to start. Get to your groups. That's an order."

Annabeth said, "Let's go." In a serious tone. "Oh, and Chiron, this isn't over." And she grabbed my arm and pulled me with her.

"The nerve." Is all she said. It was silent as we walked to the training room.

"Annabeth… I didn't know you could blow up like that."

"Yeah me either…"She said, then smiled at me.

"Your cute when your mad." I said.

Shit.

"Whoops… I didn't mean to say that out loud." Ugh. Awkward.

Annabeth just blushed and giggled.

Oh my god. Her giggle is so adorable.

"Well … we broke up Percy … so stop being attracted to me." She laughed and playfully poked my side.

"Yeah whatever, haha." I laughed.

But it was SO hard… she was so pretty. She had the most beautiful eyes, her hair was always perfect, her nose was so cute… and damn… that body.

Ugh. I can't get her out of my head.

"Hey, Annabeth? Let's blow of today's training." I said without thinking.

"And do … what exactly?" She asked.

"I don't know. I'm tired, bored, and honestly, couldn't give a flying fuck about what Chiron tells me to do. So let's go to … My place?" I asked

She smiled. "I couldn't agree more."
