Author's Note: In answer to an anonymous question, this story will , for the most part, be a Percy/Hermione ship. But there will come a time that you will have to decide whether or not Percy should choose Annabeth or Hermione. I'm posting today because I won't be able to post next weekend. So about every other weekend you should get at least two updates. Now on to the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Look at Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Annabeth's P.o.V.
It was another bright morning at Camp Half-Blood and I had a searing headache…..again. Not to mention I can't remember anything that happened yesterday. Actually I take that back. The only thing that I can remember is going to breakfast yesterday. I'm not sure why but I think it had something to do with the contents of my orange juice. Everything else was fine, but for some reason my orange juice tasted a little off. As to why I'm sleeping in the Athena Cabin and not in the Poseidon Cabin is a mystery to me. It's still pretty early and I'm still really confused. Maybe Percy will have some idea as to what happened. I know that he can be a total Seaweed Brain sometimes, but there are the rare occasions that he gets good ideas or has good suggestions. As I'm walking over to the Poseidon Cabin, I see Brad sitting on the porch of the Big House staring at me. When he realizes that I'm looking at him, he winks at me in a flirty way. It makes me want to walk over there and punch the ever living daylights out of him. I mean, I'm dating his brother for crying out loud and he is FLIRTING with me. Gods some of the people around her are idiots. When I reach the Poseidon Cabin, it is eerily quiet. I can't even hear the sounds of Percy's soft snores, and that scares me. I open the door slowly and call,
'Percy? Are you awake?"
And as I opened the door I realized that the room was empty. I'm not just talking about there being no one in there. I'm talking about the fact that it looks like someone ransacked the place of any and everything that had to do with Percy. Percy's drawers were bare, as if nothing was ever put in them. Pictures, clothes, everything. Just, GONE. It's like the prophecy of seven all over again. I couldn't believe it. He was gone. Again. I fell to the ground, crying silently, wishing, hoping, wanting, to know what had happened to Percy last night. And I have a feeling, my missing memory will help me. If only I could remember. If only someone could help me.
"What are you doing in here?"
"OH MY GODS!" I yelled. Trying to calm my racing heartbeat.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Said Brad
I turned my head away, hastily drying my stray tears. He had two cups of coffee. One in each hand. He set them down on the nightstand and offered me his hand. I hesitantly accepted it and he hauled me to my feet. I don't know why, but I don't trust him. Something seems off about him. He held my hands a little longer than necessary, after I had gotten up. He then said,
"I really am sorry. I brought an extra coffee. Would you like one?" he asked
The gesture seemed friendly enough, but I was still weary of him. I agreed and he handed me one of the cups.
"How are you feeling babe?" He asked after giving me a coffee.
My nerves froze. Did he just call me, BABE? I looked up at him and glared the deadliest glare I could muster. I'm pretty sure if looks could kill, then Brad would be dead.
"DON'T. CALL. ME. BABE!" I yelled at him.
"I have a BOYFRIEND you IDIOT! You have some nerve to come up here and start FLIRTING with me. You're lucky I haven't slugged you yet." I yelled
"Yes you do have a boyfriend. It's ME. Don't you remember?" he asked
I stood there, bewildered by this news. How could I be dating BRAD, when I'm dating PERCY?
"What? How? How could I possibly be dating you, when I'm dating PERCY?" I asked
"You're not dating Percy. At least, not anymore." He said. Stepping closer to me. I took a few steps back.
"You're insane. Percy is my boyfriend. Only an idiot would be foolish enough to go out with someone like you. I know your type. Player. You only date girls because you want something from them. I knew there was something off about you. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was."
"Now, now. Don't get your panties in a twist. I'm only trying to help you. Don't you remember anything from last night? You and Percy got into a nasty fight. You walked out on him and came to me for support. We got to know each other better. I guess you could say I was your rebound, but I don't care about that. Why don't you sit down and take a sip of your coffee. It will calm you down." He said. I could tell he was lying. Percy would never just let me go. He never stopped looking for me when I fell off that cliff fighting the manticore, he didn't let go of me when I fell over into the pit that led to Tartarus, and he didn't leave me to save himself down in Tartarus either. If Percy had left, then it was for a completely different reason. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I felt compelled to drink the coffee. As I put the cup up to my lips and swallowed the brown liquid. At first it tasted like just normal coffee, but the taste changed. It left a sour yet bitter after-taste in my mouth. For some reason I had trouble hearing. It seemed like I was losing my hearing. I got up and tried to get to the door. I had to get out. I had a feeling I was in trouble, but then I couldn't move, then I could move, but it wasn't of my own accord. It was like someone else was in control of my body. I started walking back to Brad. As I walked my vision started to blur. Eventually I couldn't see at all. I fell into the back of my own subconscious. I felt like I didn't have control over my body anymore. I slowly started to fall asleep. No matter how hard it was I just couldn't fight it. I instantly fell asleep. Unaware of anything going on in the world.
