Hermione Granger

"Was it you?" I ask Gale. "Did you attack her?"

He looks from me to Annabeth, then back at me. "She didn't tell you?"

I shake my head. "She has amnesia. She must have hit her head while she was fighting whoever found her here."

Gale glances towards the Cornucopia. "I was there," he says quietly. "I know what happened."

"Tell me," I whisper urgently.

"It was-" Gale's eyes bulge, and he lets out a panicked gasp. I see red bleeding through his shirt.

Peter steps out of the Cornucopia, chuckling. "What, did you think I was going to let him fabricate some tale that made me the villian? He didn't deserve to live anyway."

"You're  a monster," I growl at him.

The dark-haired boy laughs cruelly. "Maybe. But I'm a smart one, aren't I? I've got you exactly where I want you."

Annabeth Chase

The cannon wakes me.

I'm immediately alert, but I don't open my eyes or make any sign that I'm awake. I have to assess the situation.

What happened? Someone knocked me out. Wait a minute...

I remember.

Not just the things in the arena, though. There's a whole other set of memories, going up to when I was about eighteen. A world where Luke killed himself to save Olympus. A world where Hera - that scheming little bitch -  stole Percy from me. A world where too many of our friends died fighting for the gods.

These memories... I've been seeing them in my dreams. I should have known they were important. Are the memories real? I don't know. But if they are, what does that mean for me? Who took my memories?

Don't get distracted, Annabeth. You could be in real danger right now.

I hear Hermione say, "What do you want from us?"

And then he speaks. "Simple. I want you to swear allegiance to me. I can get you out of here." Peter's voice sends shivers down my spine.

"Tell me what happened to Annabeth at the Cornucopia."

Gods, Hermione. If only she knew. This man - for I can hardly call him a boy - is evil. He has done things that no one should ever do. He cannot be trusted.

I know without checking that he'll have disarmed us. But there's a chance, albeit a small one, that he's neglected to confiscate Hermione's wand. Which means we have a chance.

Peter chuckles. "You said Annabeth had amnesia?"

" Yes. "

"Alright; I'll tell you. Gale was waiting when she arrived. He attacked her, and I got here just in time. I saved her."

Liar! I want to scream at him. You raped me! You took what was mine, and you don't even have the decency to admit it! May the gods rain down curses upon you!

"You saved her." Hermione sounds skeptical. "So why wait 'til now to offer this deal?"

Because he needed everyone who knew the truth to be dead, so we had no choice but to take his word for it. He just didn't take my remembering into account.

The position I'm in is uncomfortable, and I'm tempted to move. I'm on my stomach, and there's a stick prodding the area of my wound. But I need a plan.

In good condition, it would be easy to overpower him. Unfortunately, we're both weak. I may have no choice but to improvise and hope for the best.

"I've waited until now, because I knew you'd be desperate. I know that you'll do anything for her to survive."

For her to survive. He thinks that Hermione wants to let me win. Well, it's not going to happen.

"You're right that I want her to win," my ally says. "I'll only be a burden if I go home."

"You mean because of the baby?"

I can feel the sudden tension in the air. "How did you know?" Hermione's voice shakes.

"I know a lot more than you think."

Now.

Hermione Granger

One second, I'm talking to Peter about my unborn child. The next, he's letting out a yelp of surprise as Annabeth jumps on him.

I'm too shocked to move. I just sit there, frozen, as they wrestle on the ground. She's not strong enough.

Peter throws her off, and then draws a knife from his jacket pocket before advancing on her. She backs away, and I finally get my wits about me and take out my wand.

"Flipendo!" I shout. Peter flies backwards, hitting the ground hard.

I run to Annabeth, who looks like her knees are about to buckle. "Are you alright?"

"I don't feel so good, " she murmurs. "I mean, I'm fine. Look out!"

I spin just in time to see the knife heading for me, and I dodge it. Peter is coming towards us, murder in his eyes. He holds another knife in his hand.

"Fumos!" I say, waving my wand at him. A cloud of dark smoke appears, hindering him. I hear him cursing as I pull Annabeth towards the small pile of weapons that lies where Gale put them when he disarmed us.

I hand a sword to her, and grab a knife for myself. The smoke had cleared, and Peter is once again storming towards us. He holds two more knives.

I barely have time to wonder where he's getting all these weapons when one comes flying directly at my chest.

Annabeth Chase

I have abandoned logic. The gladiators didn't use logic to kill in the Colosseum, and I do not need logic to kill now.

I rush for Peter in a blind rage, unaware of anything but me and him. He doesn't even have time to react.

I slam him against the side of the Cornucopia, my sword pressing into his throat, drawing blood. "How does it feel?" I growl at him. "Now that you're the victim?"

All I see in his face is fear. "Mercy ..." he whispers.

"Mercy?" I laugh harshly. "I begged you with everything I had, and you showed no mercy. Why should I give you the mercy that you didn't give me?"

"You won't do it," he says. "You're not a murderer."

He's right. Calm, rational, brilliant Annabeth Chase is not a murderer. But he's not talking to calm, rational, brilliant Annabeth Chase. This Annabeth is starving, wounded, and irrational. This Annabeth wants revenge.

I push the blade deeper. His eyes widen, and then they roll back in his head. A Canon goes off, but I barely hear it.

I hear a soft whimper from behind me. I turn to my ally, expecting to rejoice with her, and instead stumble away in shock.

On the ground in front of me is Hermione Granger, a knife through her heart.

This is unedited and probably crappy. And, um,.......Surprise?I bet y'all hate me even more now. As if I care. Now I'm gonna watch that video and cry again. :'( :'( :'(
