Annabeth's POV

I can't believe I just broke up with Percy... It was way harder than I expected, cause I love him so much! But I can't be in a relationship with him if he is a girl, first because I'm not comfortable, and also because I don't feel the same way towards girl Percy. I'm just not attracted to girls.
I love guy Percy a lot, more than I can describe and all I want now is to have him back! I'm willing to help him find a way to reverse the spell even after what Hecate said, but as his friend, not his girlfriend.
I wanted to be able to tell him all that, but my sobbing stopped me and all I could do was watch him run away from the cabin, crying. I tried to call his name but he didn't listen.
A feeling of guilty invaded me, as I thought about what he was going through. After all, he's still the same Percy in a girl's body. He must be so mad at me now, he probably thinks I abandoned him. I need to find him and tell him that I'm helping him through this!
I wiped away my tears and got out of the cabin calling her.
"Percy! Percy, please, talk to me!"
I searched for her around the cabins, at the pavilion and nothing. I continued calling for her and Piper came to me.
"Annabeth, what happened?"
"I can't find Percy!" I cried out. "After our talk, she ran away from the cabin and I can't find her anywhere!"
Piper knew about our 'talk'. I had talked to her about this before doing it.
"Have you searched on the Big House yet?" I shook my head and Piper led me there.
Turns out she wasn't there and we went to Half-blood hill, and to the beach. We asked every camper on our way if they had seen Percy. One of them told us she had gone to the stables. Piper and I ran there just to find it full of Pegasi but no crying girl. For some odd reason, the Pegasi seemed rough and angry. I don't speak horse, but by way they were neighing, it was like they were cursing at me.
We got back to the cabins and continued looking for her. I was desperate since we couldn't find her anywhere in camp!
After like an hour, we stopped for a break, as both Piper and I were tired to death after running the camp up and down over and over again. However, I couldn't relax while Percy was missing. I felt like all this was my fault.
   I tried to IM her, but again nothing.
   And I started to freak out really bad! What if she's in trouble? What if some monster attacked her?
   It was almost completely dark and my breathing was heavy when I looked up and saw a descending shadow. As it got closer I realized it was a pegasus, Blackjack to be exact. And up on his back was Percy. I felt like a huge weight was lift from my shoulders. Thank the gods she was alright!
   They landed and Percy got off his back. As soon as she stepped on the ground I ran to her and Piper followed me.
   "Oh gosh, you're alright!" I said hugging her.
   She seemed surprised by my behaving.
   "Well, yeah. Didn't know you cared though."
   I shook my head strongly.
   "Of course I care about you! I care a lot! Only because I told that we couldn't date for the time being it doesn't mean I don't love you! I'll help you in everything and to find a way to turn you back to normal!" I hugged her tight.
   I felt her senses relax as she hugged me back.
   "I don't wanna loose you, Annabeth." She whispered in my ear.
   "And I don't wanna loose you. We'll find a way, alright?"
   She nodded.
   We separated from the hug and I looked to her face. That's when I noticed that she had a cut on her upper lip and another on her cheek, and blood stained on both of them.
   "Oh my gods, Percy, are you hurt?" I asked nervously. I wondered if she had any other injuries.
   She laughed at my worried face.
   "Nah, it's just a tiny cut."
   "Two bloody cuts." I corrected. "What happened?"
   "Just a Venti attack, nothing serious." She answered.
   After I checked if she was hurt I relaxed. Everything was ok after all. I worried a lot for nothing! Then I did something that surprised me, but I don't regret. I slapped Percy on her face. Hard.
   "Ouch!" She yelled. "What was that for?!"
   "For vanishing from camp without warning anyone! For letting me worried as hell!"
   She rubbed her red cheeks. "Wow, sorry. I just took Blackjack for a ride."
   "Well" I said. ", don't do it again!"
   "I won't." She said and suddenly turned to Blackjack.
   "Okay, okay!" She said to him after a few seconds. "Let's go get you some donuts!"
   I'm sure she saw the confused look on my face, because she explained:
   "I had promised to give him donuts after the ride. I better go get them!" She said bye, got Blackjack and went with him towards her cabin.
   I turned to Piper again and she asked:
   "Sooo, is everything okay?"
   I smiled at her.
   "Yeah. Everything is good, I guess."
