So here's chapter four, people! Hope you like it. Oh, AND, PLEASE REVIEW!
PERCY
I had no idea how I got into this mess.
All I did was walk past the cave that Rachel was in. She leapt out of the cave, grabbed my hand, and shoved me inside. Then started to become flirty with me. Okay, maybe she had something to tell me. I swore that before she acted weird, she had this this-is-really-serious-I'm-going-to-spit-out-a-prophecy look.
Anyways, let's go back to Rachel.
"Per—cy, aren't you going to kiss me?" she eagerly. She said my name in the way that reminded me of Grover's bleat.
Pure creepiness.
Rachel's asking me to kiss her, when she knows that I already have a girlfriend. And she's the Oracle, which means that she shouldn't be grabbing someone else's boyfriend and start making out with them.
"Uh…Rachel? Are you in your right mind?" I stammered, backing away her.
Somebody help me! Annabeth! She… She's going to make out with me soon! I tried communicating with her by mental waves. Nah, that doesn't work. I got cornered up pretty fast.
"Uh-huh, Seaweed Brain. Very funny. I'm in my left brain," Rachel said coldly. She caught my wrists and pinned me onto the wall. Wait… No one else calls me Seaweed Brain… That's Annabeth's privilege only.
.Else.
"Rachel…I don't know what's gotten into you, but you're the Oracle," I told her as she slowly closed the gap between us.
"Come on, Perrrcy, don't tell me you don't have the guts to do this…" she leant closer, breath grazing my skin. I gulped.
I struggled for a bit, but Rachel's sudden inhuman strength got me securely pinned to the wall.
"Let me go, Rachel Elizabeth Dare!" I snapped in a voice that a rarely used. The last time I used it was to Gabe.
Rachel just smiled and put her lips onto mine. I swallowed nervously. This is soooo bad.
I clawed at Rachel, trying to push her away. She didn't seem to care. I almost succeeded in pushing her away when a shrill shriek came from the cave entrance. Oh no, this is so bad, by Hades…
Annabeth Chase glared at me like I was the Minotaur. I winced involuntarily.
ANNABETH
I trudged back to camp, thinking of Chris's weird behavior. Perhaps he was just heartbroken. I decided to look for Percy.
I walked past Rachel's cave and thought that maybe I should ask the Oracle first. That's when things started to go wrong. Way wrong.
The two were kissing! Making out!
"Percy! Rachel! What the Tartarus do you think you're doing?" I tried to keep my voice calm.
"Making out, duh," Rachel wiped her mouth. Yuck.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.
"Annabeth! It's not what it looks like!" Percy cried out, shoving Rachel off him.
"Not what it looks like huh? Then what is it? The Mist? Percy, you haveto be joking me!" I stormed out of the cave, tears streaming down my face.
"Annabeth! No!" I heard footsteps and yells behind me. I walked faster, bolting back into the forest.
"Annabeth, I-" I stopped abruptly. Percy had caught up. I turned around, and without hesitation, gave him a good slap across the face.
"Ow!" he cried.
"You deserved it, ex-boyfriend," I'm sure I sounded harsh.
"Annabeth, I'm sorry," Percy started, recovering a bit. "I really am. Please listen to me!"
"SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT, PERCY!" I snapped, rephrasing Hermes's words from the second Titan War.
Percy flinched, seemingly taken back.
PERCY
Rachel never had a good timing. She ran after me, following me into the forest.
Annabeth exploded with fury as I tried to apologize and explain. At that time, Rachel Elizabeth Dare had caught up with me. She wrapped her arms around my waist. Annabeth shot me a look mixed of hatred, anger, hurt and distaste.
"I hate you, Perseus Jackson," Annabeth said as she sprinted deeper into the forest.
I tried to run, trust me I did, but Rachel's inhuman bear hug prevented me from doing so.
"She's not worthy of you, Perrrcy," she bleated. (sorry she really sounded like a satyr) "I am. Come on, baby, let's go."
I shook my head firmly.
"Rachel, what the Tartarus are you doing?" I said. "You know this is wrong! Who are you, really?"
"Why, I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare, of course!" she replied, flashing me one of those grins.
"This is so not you, Rachel," I retorted. I've never sound so harsh before. I guess that came from losing my girlfriend.
"Let's goooo, Perrrcy," Rachel tugged at my hand. "Before Owl Freak comes back."
"Don't call Annabeth an Owl Freak," I said.
She rolled her eyes, pulling me back to camp with her inhuman strength.
"Rachel. Please. Let me go," I begged her, "My heart doesn't belong to you!"
Now that was lame, wasn't it? I think one of the Apollo campers taught me that.
Anyway, Rachel did not let go of my sore hand. She tugged me back to her cave and smiled at me.
"Ready for another make-out session, Percy?" she said.
I gulped.
Uh-oh.
ANNABETH
Chris found me again. I don't know whether this is good or bad. For one thing, today is the 2ndof July, which means two days later, is going to be the fireworks. And it's going to be sooo weird if I turn up alone. So perhaps, I could go with Per- I mean, Chris. Weird, I know, but I can't help it. I'm so not going to the fireworks solo.
I am still angry, and I really want to twist Percy's neck right now. But something tells me that Percy's telling the truth as well, 'It's not what it looks like.' But I need some cooling off time. I'm still smoking with fury. So yeah, there goes Chris.
"Uh, Annabeth?" he said, taking my hands.
"What?"
"You know, the fireworks…"
"What about it?"
"No one's going with me… And no one's going with you-"
"How did you know that?" I barked, suddenly enraged.
"I…I…saw the whole thing?"
I gave a grunt.
"So, I was thinking, Annabeth, can you… go with me?"
I met his pleading gaze. He seemed so sincere that it would hurt to turn him down.
"I guess so. Just this time. Then our ways will part, got it?" I muttered, slowly tugging my hands away from his.
"Okay, Annabeth! Thanks so much! I love you!" With that, he threw his arms around me, hugging me so tightly.
I missed Percy's hugs…
Percy…
Sorry if I made Rachel sound mean. It's part of the plot. People will start acting OOC. So forgive me!
Anyways,
REVIEW PEOPLE REVIEW! =)
