Percy POV

Seriously dude? That's what you've got to say?  This guy is either really crazy, really stupid, really ignorent, or really brave... I'm betting the first three.  Of course, I wouldn't really hurt hurt the guy, because it isn't the reasonable, calm, heroic, right... blah blah blah... thing to do.  But I will DEFINITELY give him a few scratches on that pretty face of his, for flirting with Annabeth.  Because flirting with Annabeth Chase, especially in front of Persues Jackson himself, is not very good for your health. 

All right, back to the real world action scene.  Will is literally smirking from ear to ear.  That wouldn't last very long.  I thought to myself, and found a smirk on my own face too.  "All right, I bet it would be delightful."  I mocked in a sugary British tone.  "Will, stop it! Will, you should be apologizing for ruining their day instead of causing more trouble!"  His friend, Jem, protested hotly.  I might just hate him more than Will, if that was possible.  I have never ever seen Annabeth react the way she reacted to Jem.  "Oh shut up.  Stop being Will's mom." I sneered, even though I know I was going a bit too far.  And I did go.  Because that comment finally set Will off.  "What the hell did you say?!" His violet eyes burned. So his little friend is a touchy subject to him, wonder why.  "Percy," Annabeth's voice wispered behind me, I turned, on her face was an expression I haven't seen before and I did not like it.  "What?" I asked softly.

And her next words felt like a twist in my guts.

The love of my life said: "Percy, how could you say that? Apologize."

"WHAT??!!"  I practically yell.  I mean, can I hear her right? Here are two perfect strangers, who might be planning on the best strategies to kill us!  And she is with them.  She is with them, instead of I who fought countless battles by her side, I who willingly fell in to TARTARUS with her, I who is ready to sacrifice myself so many times for her.  And she is on their side.

"Annabeth."  She must sees the pained emotions on my face, because her eyes immidiately soften to the comforting gray that I love the most in the world.  "Seaweed Brain." She said back. In her old familiar teasing way.  The way that have always made my heart melt. 

But somehow, I didn't feel it now. Not the rush of love. Not the comforting sensation. Not the heart melting.

All I feel is anger.

Anger so great that I couldn't explain why I was this angry.

Anger toward the person I love the most in the world.

Forget what you promised yourself, Percy Jackson. My mind was blank except for one thing. 

Hurt them.
