Chapter six here guys.

I woke up to hear two voices, but I kept my eyes closed.

"You sure he's okay, Chiron?" I heard a female voice say.

"I'm not sure, Annabeth. His injuries are too deep." Chiron said, obviously concerned.

"You mean… He was stabbed?" Annabeth asked.

"By a sword. A katana, like his own. But not his." Chiron explained. "He wouldn't be able to stab himself with the state of his right hand. And I saw him fight once with the left one… he wouldn't even cut a giant dummy, much less stab himself."

"But then what-who-would stab him?"

I sat on the bed with a start. "Stabbed?" I said lazily while rubbing my eyes. I realized I was in a room in the big house. As to how they had dragged me here, I have no idea.

I was tackled to the bed.

"Vice, you're alive! I've been so worried! I thought you wouldn't make it so early! OMGs (A/N: Oh My Gods.), I've-" But I cut Annabeth off.

"Annabeth… I… can't… breathe…" I said with my eyes bugged and gasping for air.

Annabeth released her grip on me. "Oh, right… sorry."

"Vice," Chiron said. "Have you any idea of anyone who could've done that?"

I shook my head. "No. If someone did do that, then I was already out. Last pain I remember having is… well," I lifted my burnt right hand. "You know what I mean." Chiron nodded.

Annabeth grabbed something in her back pocket-a black leather glove. "I bought it for you to use it in your right hand."

She lent it to me and I put it on. "Thanks." I then gave her a kiss and a smile. Then I turned to Chiron. "And what about Percy?"

Chiron shook his head and looked at me sadly. "Nothing."

"Grover and Tyson?"

"Nothing."

"And how long have I been out?" I asked.

"Four days." He answered as if he was saying I went to the beach or Today's hot, right? It just didn't sound like you were in coma for four days. "But you have to rest, my boy. And if I'm not wrong, you have another visit. If you want to let her in…"

I nodded. "As long as it's not Clarisse."

Chiron got out of the room and a girl with long, black hair got in.

"Zoe!" I exclaimed. She smiled warmly at me.

"Hey, Vice." She said.

Annabeth shook her head. "I can't believe it."

I looked at her. "Can't believe what?"

"Zoe has learnt how to actually speak English."

Zoe glared at her. "Shut up."

Annabeth glared at her as well. "You shut up."

"You shut up, Chase."

"Not anytime soon, old bitch."

A thought ran through my head. What the fuck.

"Oh, so you want to get it to that point, you elephant?"

"And what about you, Miss. I-fall-in-love-with-any-man-that-breakes-in-in-my-garden?"

"And you, Miss. I-think-I-know-everything?"

I decided to interrupt. "That's enough!"

They looked at me. "It was her!" They said at the same time while pointing at eachother. I just glared at them.

"Okay, I'll go away, then." Zoe muttered and stormed off, shutting the door behind her.

I looked at Annabeth. "What was that all about?"

Annabeth glared at me. "You like her, don't you?"

"Yes, but not the way you're thinking!" I said. "She's my friend!"

Annabeth started to release killing intent. "Don't try to fool me. Something must've happened between you two the days you were here. The way you two looked at eachother! You are both idiots, you know!" She then stormed off and shut the door behind her.

I rolled my eyes. "Women are too troublesome…" I muttered to myself. I tried to get up, but then I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

I instantly laid on my bed again. "Holy crap." I muttered while clutching my chest. I got off my new hospital t-shirt to see a horrible wound. It had a thin and small shape. The place where the sword had stabbed me.

Suddenly, the air in the room started to get colder. Leaves appeared and started to swirl, like a tornado. The air was being sucked into it and, if I hadn't held myself in the bed I think I should now be swirling around the room like the leaves. Suddenly, the mini tornado stopped and all of the leaves fell to the floor to reveal Sasuke with his gangsta blue outfit.

I glared at him. "What are you doing here."

Sasuke just smirked. "I just came here to apologize for the stab. Though it was fun to do it with an unconscious body. Remembers the old times."

I rolled my eyes. "Look. I know you're not here to apologize for anything-you wouldn't do that. So can you just get straight to the point?"

"Ah, yes, yes," He said. "Well, tell you what. I'm working for Luke, Vice-san. He sent me here to convince you into joining the Titans. So I'll go straight to the point, as you want. Here it is. Join the Titans or I'll kill the people you care for, starting with your girlfriend."

"What?" I asked.

"Wrong words." He said and disappeared.

I got up, fighting the pain. "Damn." I said and Hiraishined to where Annabeth was. When I got there (after 0,0000000000000000000000001 miliseconds) I saw Sasuke almost chopping Annabeth's head off. I blocked Sasuke's Katana just in time. I was already feeling Kyuubi's power healing my wound.

I smirked. "You're not doing that anytime soon, Uchiha." Sasuke just sneered at me.

"Right." He said and jumped.

He landed behind Annabeth and would've managed to kill her if she hadn't ducked. I pushed her aside.

"Annabeth, get away from here." I said. She obeyed me and walked off the Athena cabin.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No fun."

I smirked. "You wanna know what's fun? This is!" I then swung my blade in an horizontal attack. He dodged and kicked me in the stomach, throwing me against some bookshelves. I managed to land on my feet, but a lot of heavy books fell on me.

"Damn." I said while taking them off of me. When I looked over at Sasuke it was more likely to look aver a sword. I had just time to move my head to the side, but Sasuke's katana made a little cut in my neck. I punched him in the stomach and elbowed his neck. Sasuke was thrown against the wall.

He got to his feet. "You're much better fighting than I had ever imagined, Namikaze. A shame you have to die." He charged at me, but I started to focus lightning chakra to my hand, and in no time my hand was covered in lightning.

"Chidori!" I cried. Time seemed to slow down while I charged at Sasuke at light speed. I saw him activate his sharingan and then he dodged and grabbed my arm. We both had terrified looks on our faces.

"Even if you have the Sharingan," Sasuke said. "you'll not be able to defeat me. I have three thousand years of experience!"

"What do you mean? I can't have the sharingan!" I said.

"Of course you have it. I am seeing it right now in your eyes." He replied.

Then it hit me. The way time had slowed down both here and with the Sphinx and how Hephaestus had seemed so scared that time. I had probably casted an unintentional genjutsu. Oh, yes. Genjutsus are illusions, in case you don't know.

"Okay, I have the sharingan, then. But," I then jabbed with my sword, but Sasuke blocked it. I then pushed harder against him, making both of us go near a wall with Sasuke with both swords at his neck. "Even if you have three thousand years of experience, you'll not be able to defeat me."

Sasuke smirked. "Really?" He then ducked and slided under my legs and got up with his arms' strength, doing a backflip.

I glared at him. "Man, you're really annoying. That was the part when you would say something touching, damn. You don't know how to make any dramatic effect, do you?"

Sasuke sighed. "Let's just go back to the fight, will you?"

I rolled my eyes. "Kay."

Sasuke's eyes started to change until their pupils were six-star shurikens.

"So that's your Mangekyou, uh?" I asked.

"Yes. The last thing you're ever gonna see." He said.

Out of the nothing, I was in a world full of rocks with a precipice some yards to my left.

"You're in my world now." Said a voice I recognized as Sasuke's, but it seemed to come from everyplace. "I control everything here."

"So this is Tsukiomi, right?" I asked.

"Right. Now, let's torture you a bit."

My next thought: Holy shit.

I was seeing Sasuke kicking and stabbing everyone I cared for: Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Tyson, Zoe, Chiron, Mom and Dad and my real dad, Zeus. They were all chained or on the floor, bleeding badly.

"See?" Asked Sasuke's voice. "This is what's going to happen if you don't join us."

I tried to walk forward, but I couldn't move. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain-a sword stabbing me in the stomach.

I coughed up some blood. "I… won't let that… happen… I WON'T!" Black flames erupted all around me, like a tornado. The genjutsu was broken like if glass was broken and then all pieces of glass disappeared, making me go back to the Athena cabin.

Sasuke stared at me in horror. "Impossible…"

I smirked. "Not quite."

My left eye was aching, and I had to close it. I charged towards Sasuke while forming a rasengan in my left hand. Sasuke started to form a chidori.

When our jutsus were about to crash I ducked and tried to hit him with the rasengan, but he sidestepped. I expected that. I dispatched my sword, put my right hand on the floor and kicked Sasuke in the… things, sending him flying against the bookshelves. At that same moment, the door burst open and several Apollo and Ares campers entered the cabin. The Apollo campers started to shoot arrows in Sasuke's direction while Ares campers pierced the books that had fallen. But it was too late. A bunch of leaves had already taken Sasuke's place.

Annabeth and Zoe entered the cabin while the Apollo and Ares campers had already realized that destroying books wouldn't help much in winning the war.

The girls approached me. "Vice, you okay? You are… different." Annabeth said. Zoe nodded.

"Yes," She said. "Your eyes are blood-red and your pupils have some kind of a shuriken shape. And by the way, why is your left eye closed?" She said and put her head close to mine. I mean, dangerously close to mine.

I sighed. "Must be the mangekyou. That freakin illusion… it was so strong it must've lent me to a psychological extreme. That's how an Uchiha gains the Mangekyou Sharingan. And well, you must've guessed it by now. I think I'm descendant of the Uchiha clan as well."

The girls just stared at me.

"Okay, okay," I said. "I'll take it off." I blinked hard and focused on having my normal eyes back. I opened my eyes.

"Much better." Zoe said. "Uh… Vice, can we talk in particular?"

"Sure." I said and gave Annabeth a quick kiss.

Zoe led me out of the cabin and we walked together towards Thalia's not-anymore-Thalia's pine tree.

When we arrived Zoe signaled for me to sit down. I did as she said and she sat down at my side. She put her hand over mine. I stared at her.

"Wha-" But I was cut off by her lips in mine. Her lips were soft and tasted like strawberry. I quickly broke apart.

"The heck do you think you're doing, Zoe?" I asked.

She sighed. "I… I feel something special towards you ever since that talk we had in San Francisco. It's the same thing I once felt for Hercules. Even before that. But then I thought it was the hate I felt for him. But after that talk… I discovered not all men are how I thought they were. You, Percy… you two are brave. Even Zach. You dared to fight against Shinigami… and actually killed him. Then you put on your mind you should enter the Labyrinth in order to help your friends… What I want to say is: I love you, Vice."

I didn't know what to say. I mean, I loved Annabeth, right?

Right?

"I… I… I need some time to work this all out, Ok? I… just give me some time, okay?" I said and did the stupidest thing one could imagine. I Hiraishined towards San Francisco. If there was anyone that could give me some advice, that person was my stepfather-Annabeth's father. You see, my dad has a paper with the Hiraishin seal that he keeps with him all the time, so that's how I went there without ever going to my family's new house.

I ended up in my dad's studio. It had miniature airplanes hanging by the ceiling and a table my dad was working on. He was working in a miniature of a WW2 battle. He looked up at me and smiled. He got up from his seat and hugged me.

"Hey, son." He said. I hugged him back.

"Hey, dad."

We broke apart. Now I was my dad's height.

"So… son. Why are you here?" He asked me.

I sighed. "First because I don't see you in four months. And second because… well. It's hard to explain."

My dad smiled. "Spit it out."

I sighed. "Well, it's complicated. You see. At camp, there's another girl, her name is Zoe, she is one of my closest friends. But less than a minute ago she told me she loves me, and I don't know who to be with, Annabeth or Zoe." I rolled my eyes. "Troublesome, ain't it?"

Dad just chuckled, showing his white teeth. "Yes, yes. Very troublesome. When I was young, about your age, I had the exact same problem. Those girls were Athena and my loving wife."

I didn't doubt that. I mean, dad was young, like thirty-five years old.

"You chose Athena." I said. It was a fact. Dad nodded.

"She loved me more than Yoko, your mother. Athena was the woman any man would like, and I was just a geek. Athena was hot, had perfect marks and was 'difficult', if you could say that. Even though I was the typical nerd, wearing broken glasses, being beaten up everyday, Athena fell in love with me because of what I was and because of what I knew, not because of my appearance. But then came Yoko. She told me she loved me and all, but I was already with Athena, and I stayed with her until I was twenty. Then she left me when I was twenty, with her gift, Annabeth. I was depressed some days, but then Yoko found me and cheered me up. We dated several months and then got married, then had your little brothers and then… well, you can have an idea." He finished.

"And where comes the advice?" I asked.

Dad sighed. "I want to say that, stay with the one person you really love, the person you know will never leave you, and the person you'll never leave. Just… trust your heart, not your mind."

I smiled. "Thanks, dad." I then hugged him. We broke apart. "And tell mom and the kidos I said hi."

"Wait, Vice." My dad said.

"Yeah?"

He grabbed a gun on his table-a desert eagle- and handed it to me. "Here. It's bullets are made of celestial bronze. I melted some of Annabeth's weapons to do them, and like celestial bronze is lighter than normal steel, then this, plus the weapon itself that is very potent, make this bullets so fast not even you may have time to dodge. Use it only in case of extreme danger, because it has only got seven bullets, okay?"

I smiled. "Thank you, dad."

I then Hiraishined towards Thalia's tree. When I got there Zoe was there no more. I sighed. "This whole thing is getting too troublesome." I grabbed the weapon dad had given me and shunshined towards my cabin. I needed better clothes than hospital clothes.

After I was done putting my clothes on I decided to go to the forest, in the clearance I knew very well.

While I was walking I heard a sob. It came from the clearance. I ran there, only to find a tree nymph sobbing. I got closer.

"Uh… can I take a sit?" I asked. Now, that was probably the stupidest question I had ever made. I didn't even knew her and I already wanted to comfort her. Stupid hormones.

She glanced at me. "Sure."

I walked and sat at her right side. "So… what's bothering you?"

She gulped back a sob. "Its… its my boyfriend-sob-he's missing and there's no news of him." Her voice cracked and she started to sob uncontrollably.

I didn't know what to do, so I just kept there, staring at her. She had a pretty face and her green eyes seemed to glow.

Once she stopped she just kept there, making no move, no noise.

"Hey… who's your boyfriend?" I asked after some time.

Silence.

"Grover. You might not know him-"

"He'll be fine," I said. She looked at me. I decided to keep talking. "If you're wondering, yes. I know him. We've gone together in many quests. He'll make it. I just know it."

She looked at me, her green eyes twinkling. "You know him? Who are you, then?"

"Name's Vicent Johnson, but call me Vice."

She smiled at me. "I'm Juniper. So you are the Vice Grover talks so much about. The super-powerful-at-the-point-of-killing-a-god Vice, right?"

I chuckled. "Yeah. But I don't like it when people super estimate me. It's a pain. I like to be called just Vice, if you don't mind."

"Of course not." She said. "But… do you really think Grover will be okay?"

I nodded. "That satyr… He is always in a good mood and he's optimist. He'll make it."

With Grover and Tyson.

"GAAAAAAH! That freaking snake is gonna kill us!" Shouted a running Grover. He, along with Tyson were running from a giant snake with it's fangs as bid as Tyson.

"Moody today, uh?" Asked the Cyclops.

Now, that was awkward. Back to Vice, anyways.

Juniper smiled. "Thanks for the advice. Now… I think I'll go back to my tree. I have to rest."

I got a confused look. "Rest? But it's four in the afternoon!"

She nodded. "We Nymphs don't have much sense of time, so we sleep anytime we want."

"Ah… right."

Juniper got up and walked away.

I sighed. "If I'm lucky, she'll not fall in love with me." I joked, then chuckled. " My life's miserable." I said, laughing.

I got up and walked towards the archery field. When I got there, I saw a sign that read Have fun! Bring your mother in law and shoot her! By Cravis and Tonnor Stoll (A/N: I know it's Travis and Connor, but I know they are intimate and put it Cravis and Tonnor. It's more fun, I think). Now, I suck at archery, but I have to take my mind off things.

I grabbed a bow and an arrow and shot. The arrow hit the outer circumference. I activated my new sharingan (it had two comas in each eye. That would mean it wasn't complete) and grabbed another arrow. I aimed and shot. This time it hit the bull's eye right in the middle.

"Good shot."

I turned around to see Lee Fletcher sitting on the grass behind me.

I nodded "Thanks."

Lee got up. "So that eye's the secret, uh? Let's make a competition. We have four days to prepare ourselves. Wednesday we'll see who's better. Me or your eyes. Deal?"

I smirked. "Deal."

We then shook hands and went into different directions.

And I knew the perfect person to teach me archery, even though it wouldn't be easy to convince her.

:::::

Next day-Sunday-I woke up at 10:00 am. I put on some jeans, black Rebooks and a shirt that read My life sucks. Yours sucks even more. And headed out of my cabin. I headed towards the archery field only to see Zoe hitting the bull's eye with an arrow and Annabeth trying not to aim in a passing Ares camper.

I sighed. "Here goes nothing." I muttered to myself. I walked towards Zoe. She looked at me and smiled a thousand watt smile, closing her eyes.

"Hey, Vice. How are you?" She asked.

"Uh… very well, but that's not the point." I said. I saw Annabeth trying to eavesdrop on our conversation.

Zoe got a serius expression. "Yeah?"

"Well," I said. "You see. Me and Lee made a competition of archery. We have to prepare ourselves till Wednesday, and… well. I was wondering if you could teach me some stuff with bow and arrow…"

"Sure." She answered immediately. I saw Annabeth getting annoyed with the bow and arrow and with me and Zoe and headed off towards the arena.

"So… do we start now?" I asked.

"Yes." She replied. She signaled for me to stand at her side and grab her bow and an arrow. I did as she ordered and activated my sharingan.

"Oh, no. Don't use those eyes." She said. "First you'll learn how to shoot without them and then, when you use them, you'll do great."

I nodded and deactivated my sharingan. "Okay, let's get started, then."

"Okay," Zoe said. "First, grab the bow firmly."

I did as she said. "Like this?"

"Yes. Now, aim and shoot."

I did as she said-or at least tried, because the arrow passed two feet away from the target.

Zoe slapped her forehead. "Not like this. Like this." She then leaned her body over mine and put both hands over mine; one in the bow and another one holding the arrow. "First, it's three fingers, not two. One over the arrow and two under it." I put another finger under the arrow. She did the same. "Now, estimate the angle you have to put the bow," I did as she said and put my bow at 30°. "Then pull the line and shoot, like this." We both released the arrow at the same time and it hit the white circumference, which is between the blue one and the bull's eye.

"Good," She said. "A bit of practice and you'll hit the bull's eye nonstop."

I nodded. "Thanks."

She started to switch her weight from one foot to another, nervous. "So… would you meet me at the beach at midnight?"

I got a questioning look on my face. "What for?"

"Just say yes or no." She ordered.

"Yes, but-"

"Good. C'mon, I wanna see you hit more bull's eyes." She said.

I smiled. "Sure."

:::::

After dinner I headed towards my cabin, turned the music player on and inserted Greenday's newest album; '21st century breakdown'. Hey, the guys won the Granny award of best band of the year, right?

I was listening to 'Know Your Enemy' when my watch signaled it was midnight. I got out of my cabin and walked towards the beach, careful not to attract the Harpies' attention. When I arrived there Zoe was nowhere to be found, so I sat in the sand.

After two minutes I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around my neck. I turned around to see a smiling Zoe. She was crouched and our faces were inches apart. Those eyes… They were able to look through me. Something Annabeth had never been able to do ("You're hard-headed." She would simply say.). Zoe leaned in until our lips were lightly brushing.

"I love you." She said.

"I-I'm not sure if I like you-" But I was cut off.

"Then… I'll make you be sure." She whiepered, then leaned in and kissed me full in the lips. She then tackled me to the ground and slipped her tongue into my mouth. I did the same. We stood like that for a minute, then broke apart for air.

"Yes. I love you." I said without hesitation and leaned in to kiss her passionately. I slid my right hand with the black leather glove-the black leather glove…

I broke apart.

"Wha-" But I cut her off.

"Sorry, Zoe. I can't. I just can't." I said, then pushed her aside, got up and ran towards my cabin with tears forming in my eyes.

What had I done?

End of chap, guys. I know, I know, end of VicexAnna relationship, but I was sick of the couple, even though your reviews can change my mind. Tell me which couple you like the most reviewing and then… well. Majority wins.
