Chapter Three

How to Ruin Annabeth's Life

Olivia's POV:

Now that I know what I want, it's time to start forming a plan... How about... Oh... That's good... The plan will take place right at the campfire, tonight.

Perfect. Get ready, Annabeth. Your happy days are over. Percy's mine now.

Percy's POV:

I walk to the campfire from Poseidon's cabin. I'll be meeting Annabeth in about ten minutes. I smile to myself. Gods, do I love that girl. She's the most beautiful, smartest, brave, amazing girlfriend a person could have. People in this world will pass and go, but there will never be another person in history like her.

I'm almost there when I hear screaming. What the heck? Why would there be screaming? Camp Half-Blood is usually safe from monsters... I quickly walk over to where the trees; where I last heard a scream. There it is again. A piercing wail of agony cuts through the air like a knife. I get ready to uncap Riptide. It's dark, so I can barely see what's in front of me. Suddenly, I feel an arm around my waist. Not Annabeth. Too cold. Moonlight washes over the person. Definitely not her. The person's skin is sickly pale, almost like a ghost. I feel arms like steel lock around my neck. The figure moves closer to me, and what's happening finally hits me. But it's too late. The girl's lips come crashing onto mine fiercely, not with passion and pleasure like Annabeth's. I struggle to get away, but it's over before I know it. It's too late. The figure giggles- wait. I know that giggle. It's-it's that new girl. Olivia.

"It's too late now," she says in a sickeningly sweet tone. "I've already got it all on film. I imagine Annabeth won't be pleased when she sees us kissing. You're mine now, water boy." Water boy? Water boy? Who does she think she is, calling me names like that?

"You- it's a trick. No. Please don't tell Annabeth. She'll get mad at me. No- it wasn't even my fault! It was you. Oh, I should've known that you would do something like that. No wonder you made Annabeth so uneasy." I say spitefully, spitting the words out.

"Is that so.." she says, a devious smile curling at the corner of her lips. "Well, I guess we'll just have to see what happens when this HD video comes on right over the campfire in a few hours, when everyone's watching." She puts her left index finger to her cheek and tilts her head as if thinking. "I guess everyone will think that you're a cheater then. Huh. None of your friends will believe you. Well, it was nice kissing you. Bye now." Suddenly, before I could stop her, she disappeared in thin air. I cursed. Annabeth. I need to get to... I realize how nice it is out here in the woods. My eyelids drooped, and I crumpled to the ground- some kind of sleeping mist Olivia had somehow enticed upon me.

I woke up a few hours later, duct taped to the floor. How creative. I sighed, blowing a tuft of my hair out of my eyes. I wasn't too far from the campfire- less than a mile away. Too bad I have duct tape sealing my mouth shut. Someone would've heard me if I'd yelled for help.

Suddenly, I heard a voice.

"What? Is that... Percy? What's he doing with Olivia?" Annabeth demanded loudly. It was quiet again. Uh-oh. This was not good. It was starting. I groaned.

"WHAT?! PERSEUS JACKSON, YOU... YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" I could still hear her threatening me. It would've been more forceful if her voice wasn't coated in thick tears and if her voice wasn't wavering.

Then I heard my voice. "No. Please don't tell Annabeth. She'll get mad at me." Could this get any worse?

"Shh... It's okay...I won't tell her..." Olivia said. She never said that! She must have edited it in and cropped parts off.

"I REFUSE TO WATCH THIS." I can sense the tears streaming down her face as I hear her run into the Athena cabin. No, no, no. Not good. It wasn't supposed to be like this. We're supposed to be dating. We are still dating... Right?

Annabeth's POV:

I burst into my room and locked the door. I can't believe Percy. How could he do this to me? I took a knife for him. He denied immortality for me. I- no. He's going to pay for this. He will regret this so much.

I sank down to the floor of the corner of my room. Who was I kidding? I could never hurt him the way he hurt me. This hurt more than plunging a knife in my heart, twisting it around a few times, kicking me to the floor, shooting me in the arm, and knifing me in the head- all put together. My heart felt as if it had been shattered to pieces, and my chest heaved with sobs. Tears gush out of my eyes and run down my feverish cheeks. I ignore everyone who comes and knocks- Hazel, Piper, Leo, Grover, Jason, Frank... All I do is stay there on the floor for the, just in my own corner of misery.

Hey guys! I hope you guys liked it- well... maybe not. This about wrenched my heart and soul out, writing this chapter. Excited for what's going to happen next? Write a review- Annabeth would want you to. Poor Annabeth. Do this for her :(
