The Swap

Chapter 5: Say Something

Little did Percy or Annabeth know that they both activated the Janus artifact's spell. While sleeping later that day, Percy's soul flew into Annabeth's body while Annabeth's soul went into Percy's body.

Annabeth and Percy switched bodies overnight.

Annabeth POV (in Percy's body) 

The hated alarm clocks despite having no trouble waking up early.  I groaned as I woke up. Why did my entire body feel so sore? 

My eyes were still closed as I blindly felt for my phone. 

Gods, everything felt so heavy, and my lower body was throbbing around my private parts. What the hell?

My eyes snapped open as I jumped out of bed. The uncommon setting immediately threw me off guard. The room was painted blue, and clothes were strewn all over the floor. Sports trophies were on the shelf and scattered on the floor. 

I looked around frantically at the unfamiliar setting. Where was I?

My brain immediately went into panic mode as I scampered around the room. Finally, my body froze as I caught sight of myself in the mirror attached to the dresser. 

My gasp was very much audible. 

Staring back at me in the mirror was Percy Jackson, but he was me. I immediately staggered backward. The back of my legs hit the bed and made me fall over. 

I was only in blue boxers as I paced by breathing. Of course, I was also in Percy Jackson's body, so his breathing was very steady and controlled. After all, he had years of swim training to perfect his breathing. 

What the hell was happening? 

I immediately scampered towards my (ie Percy's) phone, which was still blaring that annoying ringtone. Gods, why was Percy getting up at 5:30 am when school was at 7:15?

I turned off the alarm before looking at myself in the mirror again. 

My hand (ie Percy's hand) reached out and touched the mirror.

My now sea-green eyes watered from despair and confusion. I didn't understand how I was in Percy Jackson's body. This didn't make any sense.

"Hello, honey, did you not have swimming today?" a woman asked. 

She had wavy brown hair and a radiant smile. Her chocolate eyes were warm with color and happiness. I had just come downstairs hoping that I wouldn't run into anyone. 

"Huh?" I asked dimwittedly.

"Percy, are you feeling okay?" the woman asked as she set pancakes on the dining table. They smelled delicious, but they were also blue. 

"Um, yeah. I'm fine," I said cautiously. 

I wasn't sure who the woman was, but I assumed that it was Percy's mom. Surprisingly, Percy's (err I mean my) stomach growled. 

The woman chuckled as she gestured towards the table. "I think somebody's hungry this morning. Anyway, the pancakes are ready for you."

"Why are they blue?" I blurted out. 

She turned to me in surprise as her mouth made an 'o' shape. She seemed confused as she stared at me. I decided to look away before she got suspicious.
