Chapter 11: Patching some things up...? (Percy's POV)

I left Nico feeling bad. I've never liked the idea of having to leave him and yet... here I am. Gone. Going to help Jason.

I'm being so dramatic. This is just sword fighting or something. It's nothing serious.

"Percy!" Jason waved and I walked over.
"Hey."

"Reyna is pissed, what did you do?" Jason asked.
"I have no idea."

"You do too, anyway. Ready?"

"For what?"
"Reyna sent me to duel you. Said she was having 'hot sex' with your ex."

"I doubt Annabeth would be game for that," I rolled my eyes.
"So that's why you broke up with her? For the bad sex?" Jason teased.

"No."
That's not it at all...

"What for then, Percy? Before I beat you up for Reyna and your girlfriend," Jason smirked.
"Ex-girlfriend," I corrected him and smiled. "Also it was mainly Annabeth breaking up with me, you know that. I was never good enough for her."

"Right...." I pulled out my sword and closed my eyes for a moment. The last time I fought Jason with a sword was when we were possessed. This time I shall be in control of the blade in my hand one hundred percent of the time. I uncapped it and glared at Jason who seemed at ease, he is on his turf. We both picked up our shields and Jason sighed.

"Ready?"
"I guess I am now. Kinda thought I was coming to help you man, kinda disappointed," I sighed.
"Yeah... sorry dude. No hard feelings after though... right?"

"We'll see."

"Percy!"

I sprinted forward and started to attack. I struck and struck and struck as fast as I could. Jason was mainly on the defensive. He parried and blocked and rolled with every slice of my sword. I slamed my foot into his chest and sent him reeling. I ran for him and he stuck his sword up in defense. I was going to win.

I twisted my sword around Jason's, sliding down and cutting his wrist deeply so he let go of his sword. It clattered to the ground and then he kicked me. He kicked and punched until I was gasping. I snatched up his sword and ran to him, abandoning my shield. Jason blocked with his shield and I kept ramming the swords into his shield. He pushed against my sword and I brought my arm around to stab him in the side. He jumped back, his shield also clattering to the ground.

I ran for him and we ended up doing laps around the arena until Jason tripped on my shield and fell to the ground. Hard. I crossed my swords and started running for his neck.

"Percy stop!" It was Annabeth and Reyna. I suddenly realized I had Jason pinned to the ground with my swords around his neck. Reyna pulled me off of Jason and punched me in the cheek.

"Are you okay, Jason?" Annabeth asked him.

"Damn, Jackson," Jason laughed, cradling his wrist, "you weren't kidding about being able to kill me. Next time." Reyna lead him away to get some help. Annabeth and I were left alone.

"You're... with Reyna?" I asked.
"What...?"
"You're having 'hot sex'?"

"Uh... I guess we hooked up," Annabeth rubbed the back of her neck. "You know, I think we were together because we were familiar. I'm sorry if I... held you back."

"You didn't, don't worry about it Wise Girl," I smiled.
"Thanks, Seaweed Brain. I know... I said some really harsh words before. I'm... sorry about that too."
