Chapter 3

"And let the game of Capture the Flag… COMMENCE!" Chiron shouted into the microphone.

It took every ounce of Percy's control to not stab Jason. They were playing Capture the Flag and Percy was on the opposite team as Jason. They were fighting.

"Hey, Percy! Come on! Show me your new sword skills!" Jason shouted. Percy growled, why did he HAVE to show his new "skills"…. it's not as if he could anyways….

"Hmmpph, maybe." He replied. Then he swung his sword to the right to try to cut him, but Jason blocked. Then, he quickly brought his sword to the left and did a spin trick causing Jason to be confused and cut his arm a little bit.

"That hurt!" Jason said. Percy gave him a look as if to say that's what you get!

"Come on! Focus or else I will really stab you!" Percy snarled and Jason immediately knew his mistake of thinking this was just a friendly fight was a joke.

"Hey, I thought that you weren't mad anymore!" Jason yelped. Percy snorted as he blocked an attack by Jason.

"Yeah right, who gets over getting dumped in less than 48 hours?" Percy answered while he charged at Jason. Jason's eyes widened in shock because he didn't see the attack coming toward him.

"Hey! Block! I can't stop the attack now!" Percy cried.

"Wha-" Jason began to lower his sword to block, but it was too late. Percy's sword stabbed him through the stomach. Percy watched in horror as Jason eyes began to roll up, and he began to stumble backward and the sword came out, and blood began to spew out. Percy didn't know what to do, he was panicking. Then, he had an idea; he dragged Jason to the stream and dumped him inside. Then, he focused and put his hand over the part where he stabbed Jason and put pressure onto it while thinking, water, please heal him. And the water started to mend the wound and Jason began to wake up from unconsciousness. From far away, it would look as if Percy was trying to drown Jason, and of course, that was what Annabeth saw.

"Jason!" Annabeth screamed as she rushed over to where Jason was.

"How dare you!" Annabeth screamed in fury and charged at Percy. But it was at that moment that Jason chose to wake up from his unconsciousness.

"Hey, what h-happened?" Jason asked groggily.

"Jason! Are you okay?" Annabeth rushed to Jason.

"Y-yeah, but what happened, I remember that Percy and I were fighting, and then he…" Jason's face turned pale and put his hand over the spot that Percy stabbed him.

"What? But I thought you stabbed me…" Jason said. Percy wasn't listening to him, he was watching Annabeth treat Jason with the utmost care, a way that Annabeth will never ever do for Percy again after what he had done. He saw them exchange words of comfort and love.

"I'll never forgive you Percy." Annabeth snarled. Those were the words, the words that cut through Percy's heart, making him feel as if a million, no, a billion swords were cutting at his heart.

Then, he heard a voice, a comforting voice, the voice said Percy, it's okay, you have still me, remember that...

Then, Percy felt ice, he felt ice freezing his emotions making feeling nothing. Percy has now learned how to freeze up his emotions to feel… nothing. Percy knew what his choice was now, he was certain. His face was blank when Jason looked up and said, "Thanks man, for healing me." Percy nodded in response giving nothing away. Then, Jason frowned, and said, "Hey are you okay? Why isn't there even one emotion on your face?"

Percy said nothing. He just waved it off, saying, "Nothing's wrong, get some ambrosia, I didn't heal it all the way yet." Jason and Annabeth were in shock at how cold those words were.

"P-Percy, are you sure you're okay?" Jason inquired. Percy smiled a thin smile, and replied, "Never felt better." The smile never reached those cold eyes.
