Perseus POV
Call me cold. Call me heartless. Call me merciless. I don't care. That's what I am.
Why in this freaking world would I care? I'm the lord of the Kindreds, for god's sake. I decided to scout the cities, to destroy which one next.
My sights landed on one, Ellis.
That city was great and powerful. Ha.
I decided to fly over there, and get a look at their defences. Ellis, I'm warning you, you'll be no more, soon.
Annabeth
Me and Luke were...ah...officially married. And I have to say, I ain't happy 'bout it.
I still preferred to sleep in my chambers. Just the thought of sharing a bed with him...ugh. I shuddered.
Today, I watched the sun come up. The sky was a fiery shade of orange, along with beautiful streaks of red, pink, and purple.
I watched as the town below began a new day. The vendors and merchants opened up their stands. The citizens strolled leisurely along the paths of Ellis. The bakers and butchers started to cook.
"Luke?" I called. He opened his door, and smiled. "Hey, Annabeth. What's up?"
"Just saying good morning. Meet ya at breakfast?" I asked.
"Yeah, okay."
I went back to my chambers. I dressed into my normal chiton, brooches, belt, and wrist cuffs. I also put my hair into a high ponytail. For some reason, that engagement ring Luke gave me made me feel...watched.
I decided to put it down. I took it off, and set it down onto my desk.
Immediately, shock washed over me. Why did I marry Luke? What the actual hell was I doing as Annabeth Castellan?! It was like I was in a trance when he proposed!
I ran down two flights of stairs, and got to the dining hall.
I pulled up a chair, and a servant came to me.
"Why, an honour, Princess Castellan." He bowed.
I flinched. I hated that name, Annabeth Castellan.
"Uh...yeah...just...breakfast, please," I stuttered.
After I finished breakfast, I decided to go for a walk.
Funny, I hadn't seen Luke this morning. Nor had I seen that redhead.
As I was walking, I heard giggling.
It was coming from behind the palace. I followed.
More laughter.
I turned the corner, to see...Luke kissing Rachel?!
"Luke?!" I asked, confused.
He pulled away, surprised, and stammered, "Annabeth-this-isn't-what-it-looks-like-"
"Oh," I growled. "It is, very. How could you? I thought you loved me! I actually did..."
Why was I feeling so...angry?
"Annabeth...I love you. I always have-"
