Annabeth's POV
"I am Percy Jackson."
I was currently fighting off a hell hound when I heard that voice. Thunder boomed above when those words were spoken. "I am Percy Jackson." I killed the hound quickly and raced over to Peter, or so he is now, Percy. He was glaring at Polyphemus and he grinned when he saw me running toward him. The two of us worked together as the team we had always been and defeated the Cyclops. I had to remind myself that this wasn't Tyson, and I'm sure Percy was doing the same. Finally, all of the monsters were gone.
The entire camp turned to Percy. Silence filled the air, then applause. With the exception of Michael. But Percy didn't care about his heroic welcome back. He stared right into my eyes. I felt tears brimming my eye lids, and saw them brimming his. Then, before I could stop myself, I surged to him and hugged him. He hugged me right back letting tears fall from his eyes. I didn't care about the crowd, or even Michael. Percy and I stayed like this for a while, the whole camp staring.
Then Clarisse shouted, "Into the lake!" I felt Clarisse and somebody else pick up Percy and I, and throw us into the canoe lake. Percy created a bubble around us, and the camp left, knowing we wouldn't be up for a while. I caught a swift movement of Michael glaring at Percy and I, but at the moment, I didn't care. I had my seaweed brain back.
Michael's POV
I was fuming. First, I get this new brother who gets all of the attention from my dad. Then, I find out that my brother was Percy Jackson, the one who died right after saving the world... again. Of course I knew that Annabeth would never let go of Percy, but I hadn't figured she would hold on to him this much. She was married to me for Hera's sake. Then, Clarisse had thrown Percy and Annabeth into the canoe lake, like they did with all new couples. Except, Percy and Annabeth weren't a couple, they were long lost friends.
I had watched them at the bottom of the lake for a while before heading to my cabin. I lied down and groaned, wishing my brother would be dead still. How in Hades did this happen?! Eventually, I fell asleep, planning a way to once again kill Percy.
Annabeth's POV
How was I going to tell Michael. Last night in the bubble Percy had made for us, we had discussed a lot of things, including, Michael and I.
Flashback to the canoe lake
"Percy I really don't love him," I said.
"I know Annabeth, but you married him. I'll be here everyday, but you chose him because I died. You made the right decision," Percy had replied.
"But Percy, I don't want to be with him, I want to be with you. I kinda want to divorce," I mumbled.
Percy glanced at me. "I will support any decision you make Wise Girl. Do what makes you happy." Sfter tha, we fell asleep, and woke up the next morning, still encased in the bubble.
Flashback over
I was walking to the sword fighting arena, and saw Michael beating a dummy to pulp with his sword. I walked behind him and corrected his technique. He was so surprised, that he swung the sword right over my head, cutting off a few curly strands.
"Easy there," I said with a small smile.
"Hey Annabeth," Michael said, clearly happy that I wasn't with Percy.
"Listen, I need to talk to you," I said. Michael looked worried, but sat down, and threw away his sword, to guarantee that he wouldn't slice me to bits. hen, I began explaining to him my case. (A/N Don't really want to go into detail, but the two of them got divorced... so Percabeth here we come!)
Michael looked hurt, and I felt bad, but this was an open door for Percy and I. I gave Michael back the rings, and wished him luck. Then, I turned and headed to my cabin. I caught a flash of Michael racing into the woods. I found Percy and curled p into his arms, glad for the comfortable embrace. Percy noticed my mood, and took me to his cabin, so I could sleep. He said he was a little rusty and left me in the cabin to go and train. I thought about how broken and betrayed Michael looked. I felt bad, but I was excited and hopeful for the new future that Percy and I held.
