Annabeth P.O.V.

I turned around to see a hooded figure like me.

Even though his hair plastered his face so I couldn't exactly see his face, I saw a pair of sea green eyes that seem to bore through me. 

"I SAID LEAVE HER ALONE! "he screamed.

The man glared at the figure.

"Or else what? " the man reasoned.

"Or else I would have to deal with you myself, " the figure threatened.

"Or else I would have to deal with you myself, " the man mimicked.

Without warning, the figure charged towards the man and punched him in the stomach.

The man's grip loosened and he collapsed. I took this advantage and pulled my hand away from his grasp.

I was about to thank the figure but the man had gotten up and ran towards the figure.

He lunged at him but the figure just sidestepped.

The man fell again. He didn't get up so we thought he was unconscious.

The figure turned towards me and asked if I was okay.

I was about to reply but I saw something move behind him.

The man was up and had a knife in his hand and raised it at the figure.

Before the knife had even come close to the figure, I jumped in front of the figure and my battle reflexes kicked in. I judo flipped the man and he landed with a loud thud.

"The question is are you okay? "I said.

The figure smiled and took off his hood revealing his face.

He had a sharp jawline, messy jet black hair, and sea green eyes that you could get lost in and shockingly looked like the sea.

"I'm alright. Are you? "he asked with concern in his voice.

I  took off my own hood and replied.

"I'm fine, "I said.

"I'm Pr-Perseus. But I don't like being called that so Percy, "he introduced.

"I'm Pr-Annabeth, "I quickly corrected.

"That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl, "he complimented.

I blushed.

"Thank you. You are not too bad yourself. "I said still blushing.

Now it was his turn to blush."Thank you."

"How'd you learn to do that, "he asked astonished.

"Do what? "I asked.

"That flip thing you did to that guy, "he said.

"I learned it from the royal guards, "I replied.

"Do...you want to...walk with me for a while? "he asked nervously.

"Why not, "I replied.

We headed out for our walk.
