Chapter 10
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air.
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare.
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere.
Nothing scares me anymore.
~Lana Del Rey.
Third Person POV (AN; I miss writing in Annabeth's POV, and I know you miss it as well. But bear with me. This chapter needs a third person POV. I might add Annabeth's POV though.)
"Ahh!" Yelled a person. His face was hidden in the shadows. "Don't please don't!"
"Oh no honey. Why should I?" Said a devilish voice of an old woman. She looked like a lab rat.
"Please! I promise not to do it again!" Shouted the captured man.
"Now, now... if you didn't stop yelling, the punishment will be worse." Said the old woman while shaking her head, as if to say 'tsk, tsk'.
She took a syringe filled with green liquid. And laughed. She laughed like the devil himself laughing.
The unknown man screamed. But, that wasn't for long. When the lab rat injected him, he fainted.
She continued laughing in an evilish way.
Annabeth woke up, panting. "Oh gods, this shit is really getting on my nerves."
She had been getting some clips of memories. Eveytime she slept. Annabeth felt the urge to puke.
Fucking nightmares, She thought. Probably just a clip from a movie I watched. I bet it's no big deal.
Soon, Annabeth got bored. She thought of just laying here, listening to music, when she agreed against it.
She went outside. After checking on her sister of course. She went to the arena. Although it was midnight, they probably wont mind.
She slipped on a hoodie, and some jeans that Thalia had given her.
And of course her usual combat boots. Putting her dagger in it, she left silently.

After a couple of minutes of walking, Annabeth finally reached the arena.
She put a couple of dummies beside eachother, and went on killin' 'em.
SLASH, STAB, SLASH, KICK.
It went on, and on until she heard a person clear his throat.
"Uhm, mind if I asked you what you're doing here so late?" Asked a strong voice. "And, those were some nice moves."
"Uh. Thanks," Said Annabeth nervously meeting a pair of sea-green eyes.
They were really mesmerizing, although Annabeth would never admit that, not to him. She wouldn't want to raise his ego.
"You never answered my question," Percy smirked. Walking closer to her. "Hm?"
"I would ask you the same." Annabeth smirked daringly, "Hm?" She mimicked.
"Good one, Chase." Percy said in a low, husky voice.
"Ditto, Jackson." Annabeth mimicked once again. The she thought about how he had won her in the battle they had had a few days ago, an idea hit her. "Wanna battle? The loser will answer."
"Sure thing, Beth." He winked then stepped back and uncapped Riptide. Not bothering to put on any armor.
"Well, well. Jackson, I hope your sel-esteem hadn't gotten itself bigger. Because," She wrinkled her nose in pity while shaking her head in 'no' and got closer. "I think that was just your luck."
"We'll see about that, Chase." Percy said. Then Annabeth launched, "Getting dicey Annie? Hmm, not bad." He said, smirking.
"Oh yeah, Annabeth said, "I'm dangerous."
"Totally," Percy said sarcastically, dodging her attempt to strike at him.
"We'll see, professor." Annabeth said smirking, "You're the big one here. Aren't you?"
Annabeth then ducked and went from under Percy's legs, getting him by surprise Percy was just turning around when she jumped on him, tackling him. They both went falling to the ground.
Annabeth blushed.
Percy was just smirking, knowing that he still had his sword. Meaning; he didn't lose yet.
"Well, well. I guess I-" Annabeth couldn't continue her sentence, because Percy flipped them that move, Annabeth's dagger flew two feet away.
Percy was still holding riptide.
"You mean I won?" Percy asked, "Yep, now spell the beans."
Annabeth huffed. "You're so annoying."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No."
"Well, tell me why are you up so late?" Percy asked.
"Couldn't sleep," Annabeth wasn't lying, but she wasn't telling the hole truth either.
"Uh-huh," Percy said, raising an eyebrow."And I totally believe you." he said sarcastically.
"Wow, you can be smart at times, Seaweed Brain."
"Not as much as you, Wise Girl. Now talk." He said, Daring her to try to avoid his question.
"Nightmares." She admitted. "I've been having lots of them lately, doesn't matter though. Everybody gets them."
Percy looked at her curiously, but didn't push. He left the topic alone, and Annabeth was thankful for that.
"So, we're leaving tomorrow." Annabeth stated, then added, "did you pick the teams out yet?" She asked.
"Mhm," Percy answered, "All set."
Annabeth laughed, "Okay then, mister."
They sat there, in silence for a minute, until Percy's ADHD had to act up.
"Another match?" He asked.
"Sure, I'm beating you at this one." Annabeth answered."
And with that, Percy got up and offered Annabeth a hand, which she gratefully took. Annabeth, once again,felt like millions of sparks of electricity were running through her veins.
Now this was a stupid chapter, I know. I just wanted to write something. Because, to be honest, I owe you guys. SORRY THIS CHAPTER WAS JUST ADDITIONAL. BESIDES, I WANTED TO ADD SOME PERCY AND ANNABETH TIME. BUT NO, THEY ARE NOT GETTING TOGETHER ANYTIME SOON. JUST SAYING.
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.
