I felt terrible about pissing off Annabeth. I felt like a fucking idiot. I had to make it up to her, but how? I thought about it for a bit. Then I had an idea. I went to the Arena and looked for her. I found her pretty quickly with a dagger and a training dummy, the dummy, if it were a real person, looked like it'd be dead about twenty times over.

She used a mix of kicks, punches, swipes with her dagger, etc. on the dummy. As I walked up to her, she went for a high kick that knocked the dummy's head clear off. Well shit, she's either focused or mad.

"Hey, Annabeth, can I talk to you?"

She looked at me, unamused face, no words. Imma guess mad.

"Yeah... Alright... Malcolm!" I called over to him, he was taking a water break at the time and walked over.

"What's up?" He looked sorta awkwardly between Annabeth and I, "Is something wrong?"

"Hopefully not. But I need you to watch all of your siblings. I have to steal Annabeth for a moment."

Annabeth gave me a death glare then said, "I don't think you do."

"Mmm... Yeah, yeah I do." I said, giving Malcolm a help-me-out-here-man kinda look.

I guess he got the message because he said, "I mean, I can watch our siblings, I'm sure Piper won't cause too many issues by borrowing you for a moment, sis."

"Yeah, what he said, Annabeth!" I grabbed her wrist and pulled her along behind me. She walked slowly, probably knowing we were gonna end up where I wanted one way or another. But not wanting to make it easy.

We went into the woods, dodging and ducking around trees. My hand had moved from her wrist to her hand. We kept walking until we got where we'd been going, a huge tree somewhere around Bunker 9. No one really went to this tree, so I thought it was a nice place to talk. The branches were low enough that just a small hop got you high enough to sit on them, and the tree was so big that the branch could easily support the two of us sitting on it together.

"What could you want to say that required you to drag me all the way out here?" Annabeth asked, looking at me like she wanted to punch me.

"I wanted to tell you... Something..."

"What?"

"I... I love you... Annabeth Chase."
