How Far would you go to Protect Her Heart?

Chapter 3

"Like talking like a sap to young demigods huh?" I yelled at the God.
"Better watch what you say kid. I could tear into you like you couldn't imagine. You think Kronos and his army was evil? You haven't seen the definition of evil. Well of course until now." The god threw back at me.
I knew that I was being stubborn but the stubborn person that I was knew that I had to stand up for my family and friends, and Annabeth. Riptide glowed in my hand. I could sense that this battle was the start of a war. The start of naught.
The start of something that I could not and would not win. I knew my limits.
"Alright then, allow me to ask a question. Why do you want my friend's emotions?" I asked politely.
"That's an easy one. Even a jerk like me knows that the angrier you make a person, the more the person wants revenge. Therefore your emotion of anger gets stronger. I am but trying to make you angry with me so you will fight me. I know how much she means to you. I am the God of Emotion. For my name I will not tell, but when I took three of her emotions, she completely fell." He inscribed.
I scratched my head and tried to pick something up that I had just heard. I hope Annabeth was listening behind me because this guy was handing out free information.
"So you want to fight me? Well here I am, but when I'm done beating the Hades out of you, I want you to give my friend her emotions back." I demanded from the God.
"Very well, but I would be worrying about your own health. It will be in a high demand after this battle. Your friend won't be getting her emotions back anytime soon." He said unafraid.
"This shall decide that!" I screamed and drew my sword from my waist…

We charged and explosions came through me and blasted me back. He attacked me and I fell and lost my momentum.
I screamed with shock and fell again.
"No!" I yelled.
I was more alert and I looked in all directions.
I twisted my head and ran at a dead run.
I dodged and twisted to the side.
With my sword out it came slashing down on top of the God's head.
"Aughhh! Get down!" He yelled so loud that it pierced my ears.
"Percy! No!" Annabeth ran towards me.
"Annabeth get back! Please!" I screamed.
I didn't want her to get hurt.
"I'll take care of this!" He said and waved his hand.
"No! Don't you dare hurt her!" I screamed.
The grass I was standing on was lifting. It lifted until Annabeth stopped running then a shield of light went from around us.
We were set back on the earth and my heart ached.
"Percy!" Annabeth yelled with worry.
"I've got to take him down by myself Wisegirl!" I yelled to her.
Annabeth tried as hard as she could to break through the force field thingy that the God of Emotions had placed to surround us but it was no use. I was trapped. The only way to be free was to beat the God. I had beaten Ares before so how hard could this be?
Well, trying to take down the God of Emotions was a different story. I swerved to one side and dived straight into him.
Just as I was about to attack him he waved his arm and I started crying. Tear after tear I couldn't stop. I was being forced to.
I had no understanding of how to stop. He came at me and I dodge rolled.
Riptide did an unexpected uppercut from which The God of Emotions did not expect and seized his left foot.
"Aughhh! Get down!" He yelled again.
I ran as fast as I could but could not outrun the magic force that was about to reach me.
I ducked and somehow missed the magic magenta he had sent at me. I ran to the left side and then to the right.
I zigzagged all over the place until our heads were inches away from each other.
He took a swipe at me with his hands but I managed to dodge and turn. While he was trying to stop his motion he was turned around.
I swiftly stuck my sword inside of the ugly freak, therefore ripping his coat wide open. It revealed some rather, ugly features.
His body was black marble. I don't understand why so don't ask me. I suppose he liked being marble?
Either way I stuck Riptide inside of him and he screamed. Gold blood exploded from him.
I was picked off my feet and riptide was gone from my grip.
"Ahhh!" I screamed.
I flew toward Half-Blood Hill. As I hit it at full impact Annabeth and even Chiron dived down as an atomic force had built up and burst into an explosion of gold.
It came at them as I passed out. The last thing I saw was three hearts drawing a path toward Annabeth Chase.
They went into her and she gasped. Other campers heard the noise and looked down from the top of Half-Blood Hill.
They stared down in horror as the explosion was more intense. Chiron rode toward Annabeth and picked her up.
He galloped toward me but my head hit the ground and I blacked out…

I awoke in the Big House. It was the room that I was in my first year of camp when I blacked out fighting the Minotaur.
A girl with curly blonde hair and stunning gray eyes fed me ambrosia.
She was as beautiful as a princess.
I remembered the first time I had layed my eyes on her in this room.
She was stunning.
Annabeth fed me one last helping of ambrosia and put it down on the counter.
She layed down with me and hugged me close.
Apparently she hadn't seen me wake up.
"Oh Percy, I got my emotions back. It's all because of you. I have that thing for you again. Now you can protect me from those spiders in the Pavilion and I know my friend again in my cabin. No one could ask for a better person then you." She said sweetly.
She turned me over so she could look at me face to face. Yes, I had my eyes closed. I wanted to see what she would do next.
My heart was pounding. I remembered when we kissed the night on my birthday after the Titan war. We never got together.
I still regret it now but things happen. I heard her lean in closer to me.
"I hope you stay knocked out for just three more minutes. I want to show you just how much I care about our relationship. Boy oh boy do I want it to grow." She whispered in our quiet little room.
She pulled me closer to her and gently put her arms around me.
The next thing I knew my brain was once again melting right through my head. It took about two minutes for me to come back to reality.
I finally found out what was happening. Annabeth was making out with me, by herself.
I kissed back and she pulled away.
Her eyes were in shock.
"Percy! You weren't supposed to wake up Seaweed Brain!" She blushed.
I could tell that she was insanely nervous.
"Well, do you want me to go back to sleep?" I asked stupidly.
"No! You're such a Seaweed Brain! I'm just going to leave!" She said fast.
She tried to leave but I got up and blocked the door.
"No. You have no reason to be nervous. We've kissed before Wisegirl. You obviously wanted to kiss me because you're the one who did it first. Don't be afraid." I told her compassionately.
Unfortunately, she only got redder.
"But Percy, I…" She started to say.
I wouldn't let her finish.
I dove into her for a kiss and she didn't try to stop it at all.
She opened her arms and locked them once I was within reach.
Her back was up against the wall and she smiled deeply.
We kissed for what seemed forever.
I retreated and said, "I think we ought to give us a try." Peace was all around us. There wasn't a sound in site.
She simply nodded and took my hand.
"Come on Seaweed Brain, I'd say it's time for a good old fashioned swim in the lake." She insisted.
"Race ya there." I proposed.
Together we ran for the Lake, with hand in hand...
