As promised, a chapter by 4/3/14 (where I live). Enjoy, and I'd like at least 3 reviews for the next chapter. Can you also include in your reviews if I should stick to just Percy POV or do other POVs.

PERCY POV

I found myself speaking before I wanted to.

"Hey, Marco. I'm Percy, also a Son of Posedion, so we're brothers." Gosh, you're so stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! You could have at least NOT stated the obvious. But Marco just gave me that stupid sweet smile, and said,

"Hi Percy, it's really nice to meet you." I mentally snorted, and thought, "Nice to meet you my a-"

"I'm Annabeth, and I guess since Seaweed Brain forgot to offer to give you a tour, I will. Percy will come too." Geez, Annabeth. Thanks a lot. I thought it was quite obvious I did not want anything to do with that stupid little-

Annabeth caught me glaring at Marco. Oops. She gave me a look saying, "Be nice or else." I sighed. I WAS acting unfair towards Marco. He seemed like a cool guy, and I shouldn't be jealous. He's my brother. The more I repeated this in my head, the more sure of it I became.

So Annabeth and I gave Marco a tour, and it seemed like he already knew he was a demigod. He wasn't really bad at all, and definitely someone I'd want as a brother. Huh, shows how much I knew then.

A FEW WEEKS LATER

"Come on, Percy. Afraid that the so called 'best swordsman of the last hundred years' will be beat by his brother," Marco taunted. I smirked.

"Last three hundred, actually. And no, I'm not." This is how sparring usually went with me and Marco. And most of the time, like today, Annabeth was standing on the sidelines, bored out of her mind.

"You guys have been sparring since dawn, and we just had lunch. Don't you guys wanna, oh I don't know, eat or sleep?" Marco gave her a look like she just announced she was tired of reading.

"No, eating is for wimps."

"Oh really?" Annabeth said all sassily, and totally un-Annabeth-like. Since when did they joke around like that?

"No, Percy." I chided myself in my head. "You will not be one of those clingy jealous boyfriends."

"Okay, okay. I suppose we can take a break." I said. Marco grinned.

"What?" I said.

"Nothing, just that..."

"..." I waited for clarifictation.

"You always seem to do what Annabeth tells you to. I mean, you have a good reason to because she's absolutely brilliant, but it's just funny the way you follow her every order."

Annabeth blushed at the compliment, and I raised and eyebrow. Okay, so something was definitely up.

"Alright, I'm going to go visit Rachel." She came and lived in the Big House every summer since the Giant War. I guess she didn't want to be left out, which I personally didn't understand. All I wanted was a break.

"Okay then, I'm going to go to the beach." Annabeth wouldn't meet my eyes. Now I was really suspicious, but I let it go.

"And I'll just be training here. Try not to lose anymore brain cells, Kelp Head." Marco said.

"Hey! You're a son of Posedion too!" I exclaimed. He gave me a fake smile.

"But I'm the smart one." He patted my head and started slashing at some dummy. Like the one made of plasic, not a person. I sighed and headed towards the Big House where Rachel was residing.

When I got to her room, I was greeted by bright colors and paint everywhere. Then I saw a bunch of red. Rachel said,

"Hey Percy!"

"Hey Rachel! How is everything? Oracle's spirit treating you right?"

She stopped smiling.

"Percy, a few weeks after you defeated Gaea, I was still at school. I was in some boring class, and suddenly that aura of power I had around me that kept me strong, never sick, just left me. It was the Oracle's spirit. I passed out, and when I awoke I was at home, my parents on a buisness trip as usual, and Apollo was standing over me. He said that... I wasn't the Oracle anymore. The spirit had just left me. It's gone. Apollo has some people searching for it, but you can't really just capture a spirit. He told me that he thought a powerful force was at work. Percy, the Oracle was my connection to this world. It was a big part of me. I'm not as upset anymore, but... It's a really big change."

"Rachel..." I didn't know how to comfort her. She smiled at me, like she knew what I was thinking, and said,

"It's okay Percy." I smiled back at her.

ONE HOUR TIME SKIP

I have to admit that talking to Rachel was great, and I really missed it, like before The Second Titan War. I could just forget about being a demigod and hang around with my normal friend.

I decided that I should find Annabeth before it got dark, so we could go to my cabin. Marco didn't really mind when Annabeth came, because he knew we needed each other, and he loved to tease us.

First, I went to the Athena Cabin so I could return Malcom's book on architechture. I had read a bit of it so I could impress Annabeth. He had let me borrow it, said, and I quote, "If this book has a drop of water or anything on it, I will kill you in your sleep. Oh, and Annabeth says hi."

I peeked in the window to see if anyone was there. Yup, it was Annabeth and Marco. So I headed towards the door-

Wait a second. Annabeth and Marco. Alone. In her cabin. Their flirty behaivour, the compliments. I didn't want to believe it.

But I peeked in the window anyway. It seems like they were talking. They were sitting about half an inch from each other.

"I don't want to break his heart. Not after everything we've been through," said Annabeth. I didn't really like the sound of that.

"Annabeth, I love you. But I want us to not have to hide anymore. It's been a few weeks since we've been together, and we got together a week after I came. We shouldn't hide it from him." Marco said.

Suddenly, Marco leaned forward and kissed her.

"WHY THAT LITTLE-" I grumbled, until my thoughts were interrupted by Annabeth.

Instead of pulling away like I desperately wanted her to, she kissed him back with more passion and love she ever gave me. Marco started clawing at her shirt- I couldn't take it anymore.

I couldn't believe it. I had fell for it. I had fell for her, therefore, fell for her trap. Good job on making my love life interesting Aphrodite. Now I don't have one. I'm not going to sulk over her. Hell no, she doesn't deserve any part of me anymore.

But I also knew I couldn't stay here. I packed my stuff and stepped out of the cabin. I ran until I reached Thalia's tree.

"I swear on the River Styx I'll come back," I thought.

Thunder rumbled in the clear, dark night sky.

PLEASE DONT KILL ME PLEASE DONT KILL ME PLEASE DONT KILL ME PLEASE.

I swear on the River Styx it's not what it seems. It's different. Hey everyone! I promised I'd have it up today, and here it is! Sorry it's late! Homework and school and blah. I can't promise when the next chappie will be out. There were people over, and my parents said it would be rude to ignore them so I had to SOCIALIZE (*GASP*) I know right, terrible. I locked myself in the bathroom so I could finish this chapter for you. PLUS I had to edit all of my horrible spelling and grammar mistakes. You're darn lucky I love you guys. If my parents start to wonder why I'm taking so long, I blame you all.

P.S: Rachel is awesome, I don't know why everyone hates her. If you had the chance to date Percy Jackson, you would too. Stop hating on her!
