As I followed Andrew, I replayed what I had witnessed yesterday over and over in my head. I knew I had to confront him.

He pushed open the door into the training room and I followed him in, checking to make sure that it was empty. He stopped and looked over his shoulder, he said, " I was wondering when you would confront me."
I stopped where I was. " You thought I didn't see you watching?" He said.
"Why?" I asked, " Why would you betray us?"
" Simple, self preservation. I decided to choose the winning side."
"You won't get away with it."
"Who's gonna stop me? You?" With a few steps he has me pushed up against the wall with his arm against my neck. He is three years older and two inches taller than me, so I have to look up to look him in the eyes; which is infuriating. "Join me, Percy. And together we can become so powerful
that even Chaos will grovel at our feet. Just picture it, being able to crush everyone that you have ever hated beneath your foot."
"As tempting as it sounds I'm gonna have to go with... No."
His eyes darkened, "Have it your way." He said and punched me in the stomach. "Ugh!" I doubled over and and he kneed me in the face. I fell to the floor; blood dripping from my clearly broken nose.
As I lay on the floor he kicked at my face; and I rolled out of the way and hopped to my feet.
I drew my sword and lunged at him, he sidestepped and drew his own sword and shoved me backwards. I slid back and charged him. Our swords clashed; we went back and forth for a few minutes neither of us able to gain the upper hand.
Then I fainted to his shoulder and slashed his leg. He fell to a knee and I kicked him in the face, sending him sprawling onto his back; but he hopped back up and continued to fight.
His attacks were slower but with just as much power behind them.
He knocked my sword out of my hand and before I realized what was happening, he drove his sword through my shoulder.
He pulled his sword out with a look of smugness on his face and I fell to my knees clutching my shoulder. He pushed me over and swung at me but I ducked and managed to kick his sword hand and his blade fell to the ground and skidded across the floor.
Andrew snarled and backhanded me, sending me back to the ground.
"Last chance, join me or die."He said.
I spit at him. " Never." I could feel something beginning to happen to my eyes.
His smirk turned to a scowl and he punched me in the jaw. I grunted but didn't let myself fall to the floor.
"You're pathetic. You know that? After I kill you, I might just head on over to your girlfriends room and pay her a visit."
My fists were clenched as tight as possible.
He kicked at my head to finish me; my instincts kicked in and I whipped around and caught his foot. His confident look morphed into one of shock.
Before he could regain his composure I pulled myself to my feet and grabbed him by the neck. I opened my mouth and a sound ripped from lips that I can only describe as a roar. The whole room shook and a look of terror flashed across his face.
I tightened my grip on his neck and threw him into the wall. I took my time walking over to him as he struggled to get to his feet. Andrew put his arm in front of his face to protect himself. I swung at him; slashing him with my claws, and I slashed, and slashed until his arms and torso were covered with claw marks.
"Please, stop." He begged. "Have mercy."
But there, in that moment, mercy didn't exist. I reared back and punched him right in the face. I heard his jaw break the moment my fist made contact.
I looked down and... he was gone. He wasn't there. I heard a sound behind me and I whipped around; standing there was Chaos and my team. Behind them on the ground was Andrew. A growl rumbled in my throat
