Chapter 6

Alpha/Percy

Percy didn't want to be in Camp Half-Blood but he was happy that he and Ariana were reunited. Today is a new day. He thought. Percy will be teaching another class but this time with the Roman campers. Hopefully, Andrew wouldn't interrupt that class or else all hell would break loose. He was wearing his usual, his armor, black assassin's cloak, leather gloves and his mask. He didn't forget his weapons though. Omega or should we say, Alicia, wasn't wearing her usual cloak. She was now wearing her blue gown to match her eyes. Percy didn't mind though since she revealed her identity. He and Alicia made their way to the Mess Hall. Once again, when they entered, silence spread across the room. Well, except the children of Aphrodite. They were mumbling stuff about Alicia but Percy was able to hear it. They took their seat on the Chaos table, which was just recently added.

"I'm getting stared at." Alicia said as she sipped her drink.

"Well, that's because you're beautiful." Percy said which got her to smile.

"No, seriously. Just because I'm Silena's sister, doesn't mean I could get stared at." Alicia said and put her drink down.

"No, you're just beautiful. No comments." Percy said and sipped his drink. Alicia playfully punched him on his shoulder.

Percy noticed that Ariana was staring at them. He motioned for her to go to them. Ariana nodded, stood up and walked to the Chaos table.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Ariana asked while looking at Percy.

"Yeah, well. I haven't told you this but," Percy said while looking at Alicia then at Ariana, "Ari," He said softly for no one to hear, "Meet your sister-in-law."

Ariana then gasped and covered her mouth.

"You're married?" Ariana said softly.

"Yeah. I wanted to tell you years ago but Chaos wouldn't let me contact you." Percy said.

Ariana looked at Alicia and said, "Hi, I'm Ariana. Percy's sister."

"Alicia."

They shook hands and that caused people to look at them. Ariana noticed the ring on Alicia's finger.

"Is that the ring?" Ariana asked looking at it.

"Yeah. Isn't it beautiful?" Alicia said as she pulled the ring out of her finger and showed it to Ariana.

"Really beautiful. Where did you get this?" Ariana asked still looking at the ring.

"On one of my missions, I was on this beautiful planet and I decided to make a ring for Alicia. It took a while though. About 7 weeks." Percy said.

Ariana handed the ring back to Alicia and said, "That's so sweet. What about Annabeth? She still loves you."

Percy was silent for a moment but then spoke, "I did love her but that was in the past. She broke my heart and it took a while to get over her."

He stood up and left the Mess Hall. Alicia slipped her ring back on and said, "Ariana, don't mention her name. I'm sure he still has feelings for her but not the same. It took a lot of years for him to notice me because of her."

Ariana apologized and went back to the Poseidon table.

Annabeth

Annabeth couldn't help but look at Percy. She couldn't believe that he changed so much. He's so powerful. The Athena table wasn't that far from the Chaos table so she was able to hear their conversation. Her brothers and sisters weren't able to hear because they weren't listening. She saw Ariana walk over to the Chaos table and was wondering why.

"You wanted to talk to me?" She heard Ariana say.

"Yeah, well. I haven't told you this but," Percy said while looking at Alicia then at Ariana, "Ari," He said softly for no one to hear but Annabeth was able to hear it clearly, "Meet your sister-in-law."

Annabeth couldn't believe what she heard. He was married? She won't be able to have another chance with Percy. It was actually her fault he's with her. They should have been together years ago if she didn't cheat on Percy with Andrew. What did I ever see in Andrew? She thought.

She was lost in her thoughts until she saw Percy leave the Mess Hall. She decided that it was best for her to talk to him at this moment.

"Per-" She was almost going to blow his cover but she regained herself, "Alpha?"

Percy stopped walking and turned to face Annabeth.

"What do you want?" Percy asked in a cold tone.

"I was, um, thinking-"

"Thinking. That's what you always do, daughter of Athena."

"You didn't answer my question yesterday."

"I think I did. I said I'll explain in time."

"Yes but I want your explanation now." Annabeth said softly. It's like she was talking to herself.

Percy sighed and said, "Very well. You want an explanation? Then here's your explanation, once this war is over, I'll be going back to the galaxy. That's why we can't be friends. I wouldn't be around much longer."

When Percy said that, Annabeth's world tore apart once again. Percy will be leaving again? But she just got him back. Tears were running down her cheeks. She didn't care if she cried in front of him. She does truly love him. She waited for him to come back and he did but only to find him already married.

Annabeth was lost in her thoughts again when she felt pain on her back. When she registered her thoughts, she saw a man wearing an assassin's cloak just like Percy's but it was silver. She didn't know why Percy pushed her but when she saw a black spot on the ground from the gun shot, she realized why. Campers got out of the Mess Hall to see the ruckus.

"Alpha, I finally found you." The mystery man said.

Author's Note 5:

Hey, readers! This chapter wasn't as long as the others but I was able to think of something. I was on a writer's block for about a few hours but was able to think of something and this was what I thought. I'm sorry if this chapter was boring to you. I couldn't think of something else to write for this chapter but the next chapter would be so much better. Keep reviewing! :)
