Annabeth POV
Annabeth has been feeling terrible all day. She hated to lie to Percy, but she couldn't tell him what the note really said. If she did, he may never think of her the same way. And she wasn't lying completely. A spider did come out of it. After Percy left the cabin Annabeth took one more glance at the note and quickly ripped it up. The words haunted her.
Annabeth, don't go back on our deal. Do you want Percy, you, and all the others to suffer great pain? When you make a promise to a goddess, you keep it. A wise demigod never goes back on their word. And you Annabeth are a wise demigod. If you do go back on your word, imagine this; millions of spiders crawling on your skin. Embedding themselves into you. Think of that and multiply it by a thousand. Do you want the world to suffer that pain? Think wisely.

Annabeth's skin still had goose bumps on her skin. She needed to find Percy and apologize. She left her cabin a quietly closed the door behind her. The sun was shining bright. The glare burned Annabeth's gray eyes. She scanned the camp. No sight of Percy. She walked out into the fields. She kept jumping at every sight of brown-black hair. Her heart began to pump faster at the sight of green eyes. She must have seen at least ten guys she thought was Percy. Annabeth gave up. She was exhausted. She sat on a log and pouted. Her grey eyes were filled with concern. Leo was walking down a pathway when he saw Annabeth on the log alone. He looked troubled. He walked to her and sat beside her. He analyzed her grey eyes for a moment. Her hair was put in two low pigtails that framed her face.
"What's wrong?" Leo asked. His voice had a sense of regret in it.
"I made a mistake." Annabeth admitted. She hated to admit her wrong doings but this time she had no choice.
"Yeah, I did too." Leo confided. Leo looked at him with confused eyes. Leo pulled out his screw driver and analyzed it. It was dirty, like it's been put inside the ground. He tried to look at his reflection, but the dirt got in the way. He looked up and saw Hazel walking by. She saw him too. She looked torn and on the verge to tears. Her golden eyes sparkled in the sun. She ran away. Leo watched as she disappeared into a farther corner of the camp. When she was gone he stood. His curls dangling free in his tan face. "I got to go." Leo said coldly. He stormed of very upset. Annabeth sat on the log alone again. They sky began to darken as the sun sunk beneath vision. She thought about Nico, and how much trouble he was in. She also thought about how she was Gaea's secret weapon. Her eyes began to water. She started to wander the camp. She looked everywhere for Percy. Her blonde pigtails swished each time she'd rapidly turned her head. Her grey eyes were full of determination. While she was helplessly looking she ran into the person she least wanted too.
"Annabeth?" Octavian's eyes glowed with mischief. He gave her an obviously fake smile. She returned it to him with a horrifying stare.
"Good seeing you, Octavian." Annabeth lied. He had such bad energy. She didn't want to be anywhere near him. She tried to walk away and continue her pursuit for Percy, but he sharply grabbed her shoulder.
"So, you really expect the Romans to help you filthy Greeks?" Octavian asked. His voice was so evil, it even started to scare Annabeth.
"Why not? We did win the war games fair and square, right?" Annabeth innocently asked. She really hated Octavian.
"You stupid Graecus! Don't you see? We don't trust you, or any of you Greeks! This is are territory and you think you can come and take charge! I will never-" Octavian was interrupted from the best thing she's heard today.
"Octavian! Leave her alone!" Annabeth turned around only to find Percy standing behind her. His sea green eyes full of willpower. His dark, straight hair almost covered his eyes. He walked to her and stood beside her. "Octavian, don't you have better things to do? Like murdering a stuffed bear or something." Percy gave him a stern look. Octavian scoffed at Annabeth and Percy and walked away. They looked at each other. Annabeth opened her mouth to speak when Percy hugged her. Annabeth was shocked. She felt a huge sigh of relief. When they pulled away, Annabeth's eyes were filled with water. She was nervous to looked up. She was almost scared to make eye contact with Percy. She feared to look into his sea green eyes filled with rage. He noticed her looking down and he raised her chin. When she saw his eyes she was overwhelmed with pleasure. His eyes weren't filled with rage or hate, but with love and compassion. He kissed her. His soft lips pressed against hers. Annabeth felt like she was flying. When they pulled away, the looked lovingly into each other's eyes. He intertwined his fingers with hers and she put her head on her shoulder. They walked together into the glowing sunset.
