"I should've known." Percy spat tears clouding his vision but he refused to let them fall. "I thought I could trust you!"

Annabeth laughed. It was cold and cruel. The sound of it made Percy want to crawl into a hole and die. But he wouldn't give up that easily.

"That's right, I lied." Annabeth flicked a strand of hair of her shoulder and it fell placidly with her other curls. Her grin was like poison, it hurt just to look at her.

"Please let's just go back, please," Percy said but a sob ripped through his throat at the last word. Everything hurt. His whole world was getting torn apart right in front of his eyes.

Annabeth's face faltered slightly before it became harsh once again. "This was my plan all along." Percy's world stopped. There was no way she was being controlled. The Annabeth he knew would say that.

Percy wobbled to his feet and took a few steps back. Eyes widened in fear. With hurt. With pain. His body doubled over in pain from the blow to the stomach earlier.

Annabeth flinched at his broken form. It was a way that she had never seen him before. "Look... it's all for a good cause. I just-"

"Don't. I don't need to hear your pathetic excuses anymore." Percy pulled out Riptide from his pocket. "I'm sorry this had to go down like this."

Annabeth scoffed before pulling out her own sword. "How cute. Struggle all you want, you won't be leaving this place." With that, they charged at each other fully intent on ending the others' life.

"AND CUT! THAT'S A WRAP!"

Percy and Annabeth slowed down right before they reached each other and smiled.

"Have I told you how stunning you look with fake blood all over you face Wise-girl?" Percy grinned and Annabeth smacked him playfully on the arm.

"Oh hush you." Her face then contorted to one with concern, "I hope the punch to the stomach wasn't too hard."

Percy waved his hand in front of his face and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. "Nah. I'm tough, I can stick it out." They both smiled at each other again and walked over to the demigod filming crew.

"That was some pretty spectacular acting. I would have thought it was completely real. With this, we'll definitely win the competition and get featured on Hephaestus TV!" A camper exclaimed, jumping up and down excited.

"Hah, I really wanted to use 'I still believe there is a good person in you.'" Percy smiled and walked off with Annabeth.

"I think that would have really hit the views really hard if you said that." Annabeth laughed.
