Percy's POV

Annabeth and I walked to the dinner pavilion where we separated. I was starved so I quickly got my food went to the bon fire to make offerings to the gods. I didn't even notice Travis behind me. I probably should've guessed that he was going to do something bad, but I was hungry I don't think when I'm hungry. Now if you ask Annabeth, she'll say I never think which is not true.

I went back to my table and ate a bite of my food. It tasted different, almost sweet.

"Hey, Percy." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked to see Rachel and suddenly I was overwhelming with loving emotions. I don't even know why, it's not like I liked her or anything. She 'dumped' me when she became the oracle.

"Umm . . . hi? What are you doing here?"

"You told Travis to tell me that you wanted to talk to me." Oh Travis. I should've known.

"I love you!" I burst out, and then clapped my hands over my mouth.

"Wait, what?" Rachel asked surprised. Finally I realized what had happened, but before I did, my body had leaned forward and kissed her, right on the lips.

"Percy, what the Hades was that!" Rachel asked, but I could tell she was trying not to smile. I turned and ran all the way to my cabin, shut the door and sat on my bunk thinking of what happened. I knew three things for sure. Travis had put some sort of potion in my food. Some kind of love potion. The Aphrodite kids, I should have known. Annabeth hated me. Rachel thinks I love her.

But you do. Part of my brain was saying. The other part was saying don't listen to the love spell, you love Annabeth. As my brain was arguing in my head, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it hesitantly, hoping it wasn't Annabeth or Rachel, but of course it was Annabeth. Her face was red, blotchy, and tear-streaked. She just looked at me, raised her right hand, and slapped me right across the face.

If you've never been slapped by an angry girl, you've never been in pain. This was hurting me mentally, not so much physically, since I had bathed in the River Styx.

"We're done." She said, tears streaming down her face. She turned and ran in the opposite direction. This was going to be one sleepless night.

Annabeth's POV

He kissed Rachel! In front of everyone, when he ran away, I felt something wet on my cheek and found tears streaming down my face. All my siblings were trying to comfort me, but they just made it worst. I got up, anger replacing my hurt, stomped to the Poseidon cabin, knocked on the door and slapped Percy across the face. It felt good!

"We're over." I said, before going back to my cabin to cry myself to sleep.

For the next few days, I totally avoided Percy. Trust me it was hard. All I wanted to do was breakdown whenever I saw him, but I put on my acting skills, and convinced everyone that I was fine. That was until I let my guard down as I was in the sword fighting arena, taking my anger out on the dummies. No one would practice with me; for fear that I would skewer them. Only Clarisse practiced, but right now she was on a date with Chris Rodriguez. I was repeatedly stabbing the dummies and was about to make the final blow when a sword deflected my shot.

"We need to talk." Percy said.

"I have nothing to say to you." I was trying to keep my voice even.

"Fine, I talk, you listen." Gods he was persistent.

"I'm giving you two minutes you interrupted my -" I was cut off by his lips, as much as I wanted to, I didn't kiss him back. I pulled away.

"What are you cheating on Rachel too?" I asked, walking away. He caught up with me.

"I never liked Rachel." He said.

"Yup, I'm sure that's why you kissed her yesterday." I countered.

"No you don't understand, Travis put a love potion in my food, he was trying to get back at us for our prank." I so wanted to believe him, but I couldn't.

"Why should I believe you?"

"Do you want to hear him say that was his prank?"

"Sure." I honestly didn't care. We walked to the beach where there was a rainbow; he pulled a drachma out of his pocket and threw it.

"Travis at Camp Half-blood." I didn't understand why you would waste a drachma on someone that we could talk to in person. The mist showed Travis in the Aphrodite Cabin, tied up in the corner.

"Let me out of here!" He screamed, thrashing around.

"Not until you admit that you caused Percy and Annabeth's break up."

"Fine, I did. Happy?"

"No, explain exactly how and why you did it."

"Fine, I came to your cabin to get love potion then put it in Percy's food, got Rachel to go over to his table. The love potion took effect on Percy. He kissed Rachel, Annabeth saw, and then broke up with him. I did to get back at what they did to me."

"That's it." One of the Aphrodite girls said, before disconnecting the IM.

"See I told you." He said, grinning. I have no idea why he was smiling. I hope he didn't expect me to get back together with him. As much as I would want to, I can't go through that again. The past few days were agony. I held up my dagger and ran off to the Aphrodite cabin to give Travis his doom.
