"I kill people."

Suddenly the girl Percy thought he knew was someone unconceivable. It was unthinkable. Then it dawned on him.

This is why she tried to push him away.

~~

Percy shoved his stuff into his locker angrily. He was so glad this was his last year. Then he'd be free. Well, until he started getting bills, then he'd need a job, he might also go to college-

Percy sighed angrily and ran a hand through his hair right before someone punched his rib-cage cutting his sigh short. "Hey-" he was about to pumble this person but restrained himself when he saw it was Thalia Grace. His cousin.

"Hey Kelphead." she crossed her arms that were covered in leather and pointy bracelets which made Percy not want to hug her often.

"Hey Thalia." Percy said before sighing again. "How's your day going?" She asked while re-positioning her book-bag on her shoulder to a more comfortable place.

"Ehh, I've seen better days." Percy said before a head of blond hair caught the corner of his eye making him turn his head to see a girl pulling thick books out of a locker and stuffing them into her back-pack as Thalia rambled on.

This girl had her beautiful golden locks pulled into a ponytail which would've tickled her shoulders if she weren't wearing her black zip-up hoodie which nicely blended into her ripped black skinny jeans which shaped to every curve showing off her nice legs which Percy had to keep his eyes off of.

The girl stopped stuffing her bag freezing for a minute just looking forward before tilting her head in Percy's direction and meeting his eyes as if she knew he was watching her. Percy quickly looked past her hoping she thought he was looking past her at something else.

The girl looked down again before pulling her hoodie up to cover her hair and walked down the hall away from Percy. He just stood there and watched as she made her way down the hall in her black sneakers which looked pretty beat up.

"Hey."

"Percy."

"Kelphead."

Then there was sigh before Percy was forced to look at Thalia again, her electric blue eyes had that warning sign in them.

"You shouldn't look at people like her." Thalia warned and Percy squinted his eyes.

"Wha-" But Thalia cut him off. "I can tell you right now, she's not good for you. You need someone with a little less..." Thalia glanced over his shoulder as if checking if the blonde was there. "...Darkness."

Percy raised an eyebrow 'What do you mean?"

Thalia sighed but ignored his question. 'You need someone brighter, like yourself. Like Rachel. HEY RACHEL!" Thalia exclaimed waving at Rachel who was behind him grabbing a pencil from her locker.

"Hey!" Rachel waved back smiling her hand having green paint on it.

Percy groaned lightly before looking back at Thalia. Rachel was nice, sure Percy had a tiny crush on her before. But Thalia told him what she was good for him, that took all the attraction away for him. Instead Thalia made the girl who was supposedly dark more desirable.

~~

Percy sat in class wondering where she could've gone, it'd been a few days since he'd first seen her. And she wasn't new to the school Selena filled him in with this information. Why did all the girls know all the dirt?

The bell rang and last period finished all the students grabbed their stuff and began walking out as the teacher yelled out the last things she wanted to tell the students before they all left.

Percy walked out of the classroom and made a turn to the left only to meet another live body "Whoa!" Percy exclaimed as him and this other person tumbled to the ground.

There was a light thump Percy landing on top of the smaller person making him instantly apologize and scramble off the person and try helping them up.

"I'm fine." The girl's voice said before she kneeling over her books and broken pencils as she only used her one arm.

"Did I hurt you?" Percy asked reaching for her arm but she jerked it away. "It's fine." Percy sighed and did what he was taught, to help her with her stuff. He did all she would let him do before she made herself get off the floor. Then as she got up her hair slipped out of her hoodie revealing the golden curls Percy was so curious about. It was her.

"I'm sorry, for running into you." Percy apologized as she tucked her hair back in. "It's fine. Bye." She quickly ran out of the school making Percy sigh. What was he gonna do?

Percy rode home on the bus only to see a pretty expensive car parked outside of his house and a very bratty girl standing beside it her arms crossed her over her chest.

Percy sighed and walked up to his house. "Drew Tanaka." Percy said and Drew groaned rolling her eyes.

"I have no interest with you Jackson." she said and Percy rolled his eyes following her example. "Yeah, right,  you only want Jason." Drew turned a little pink but held her glare.

"I didn't come here to snip at you, I came to warn you." She said and Percy raised and eyebrow mildly intrigued.

"About what?" Percy asked and Drew looked at her nails.

"About that girl, what's her name? Err-" She bit her bottom lip "- Annabeth." Drew got the word out and Percy smiled.

"That's a pretty name." Percy thought out loud and Drew scoffed. "Pretty name, but an ugly soul. Hands off Jackson. She's not good for anyone." With those last words Drew slipped into her car and drove off leaving Percy alone in his driveway before sighing.

She was someone Percy couldn't have, and that made him want her more.

~~

The next week Percy walked around school whispering her name, it was nice rolling off of his tongue.

He was constantly looking for her, he really wanted to talk. Get to know her. It'd be nice.

He was going into the library to study, he liked to go into the back where there was less people. It was quieter, more concentration. He made his way to the back before lightly gasping as he saw her reading there. It wasn't for school even.

She looked up at him and she started to get up. 

"No no don't go you're fine." Percy said and she groaned lightly before sitting back down and looking back into her book uncomfortably.

Percy sat down a little away from her and opened up his books to study and do some homework for his classes occasionally glancing over at the girl who was furiously trying to hide her hair.

"You don't have to hide it." Percy said before looking at her to find she was looking at him a little fear in her remarkably beautiful grey eyes. 

"Hide what?" She asked and Percy chuckled, "Your hair, it's beautiful. You shouldn't try to hide it." suddenly her features relaxed and the fear in her eyes went away.

Percy smiled before leaving her be for the rest of the time.

~~

It was gym and Percy could tell she was out of her comfort zone. Her hair was out and she was in a tank-top and shorts. He could tell she felt exposed.

Afterwards a guy went to go pick on her as Percy watched.

"She doesn't even stretch, probably cause she's afraid she'll get more stretch marks." Annabeth stood there grabbing her stuff as they talked to her.

"And look, she even wears this owl pendant. What children's store did you get that at?" Still, Annabeth ignored them. 

But when she tried to walk away the boy growled and grabbed her by her hair. "I'm talking to you."

Percy on instinct began to make his way over but before he came something happened.

Annabeth gave the boy a glare with her stormy grey eyes before she raised her fist and socked him in the jaw making him let her go and fall onto his bum.

Percy froze and the boy grabbed his jaw before polling his hand away to see blood.

The anger in her eyes left and she pulled her hoodie on before walking out of the room. Percy followed her.

She walked into the empty halls and Percy could hear light crying. Was that her?

Then she walked into the janitors closet and closed the door where Percy heard more crying coming from. It was her.

He knocked lightly before opening the door for himself. He slipped in closed the door behind him as Annabeth furiously wiped tears from her eyes.

"What are you doing?" She asked as she sat in the corner on the floor. Percy sighed before squatting down, "I heard you crying." Percy said and She looked at him before Percy noticed her hands were shaking.

"G-get away from me." She said hugging herself tightly and sobbing into her arms.

"Annabeth, I'm not gonna hurt you." Annabeth looked up in fear unlike before and Percy bit his bottom lip.

"How do you know my name?" She asked and Percy sighed. "My f-friend(?) told me." Percy said and Annabeth sighed before nodding.

Percy got down on his knees. "May I?" He asked and Annabeth nodded before wrapped her in his arms.

"Shh, you're ok. You're safe." Percy soothed as she slowly sobbed into his chest until her cries were quiet and her tears dried.

"What's your name?" She asked in the darkness and Percy let out a breath. "Percy."

~~

It hadn't been easy getting to know Annabeth, but little by little she opened up to him. and Percy was loving every bit of her.

He knew he liked her, he knew it. The way her hair glinted in the sunlight and her eyes sparkled reflecting the stars light. The way she carried herself. all of it. It captivated him. He hated saying goodbye to her.

But Percy also knew that everyone in school was against her. And they were slowly turning on him also. Not that he was ever popular.

"Hey, you wanna come over today before we go to the movies?" Annabeth asked and Percy's eyes widened, he had never been to her house before and the curiosity was eating him up inside.

"Yeah, I'd love to." Percy said and Annabeth cracked a small smile.

After school they went over to her house the car ride silent as Percy drove since he had recently saved up for a car a bought the one they were riding in.

Annabeth got out of the car and stood looking at her house as Percy got out also before going and standing beside her starring at the dirty white house.

Annabeth suddenly looked down and Percy looked over at her, she was thinking. "Everything all right?" Percy asked and Annabeth shook her head. "Just fine." She cracked a small smile before her hand brushed against his own making his ears heat up like usual.

They went inside with Annabeth wondering what her family looked like.

Then he saw the brunette and the blond fighting. 

"It's always the same answer Athena! Always the same!" The man yelled but Annabeth didn't seemed phased at all.

"I'm leaving." the brunette said befor egrabbing her purse and walking out past the stairs which Percy and Annabeth were walking up to her room.

"They fight all the time, don't worry." Annabeth said after taking off her hoodie and Percy nodded before she opened the door to her room and let Percy inside before closing the door.

Percy looked around, the room was eerily clean, something about it was off.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw her close her closet doors before going to her dresser and opening the top drawer and pulling out a long sleeves blue shirt before pulling out her black ripped skinny jeans.

Percy was sitting on the bed when Annabeth went to the bathroom in her room to get changed as Percy waited for her to get changed before they would go to a movie. Just as friends, not a date..

~~

"Bye mom." Percy kissed her forehead before letting her and Paul take a weekend trip to her book signing/romantic getaway.

"I love you dear, have fun. Stay safe." Sally said and Percy nodded before giving Paul a hug and sending them off with a wave before closing the door and picking up the phone to text Annabeth asking her to come over.

"Alright." was all she sent back before Percy called the pizza place and ordered a large pepperoni pizza fro the two of them.

Percy cleaned up the house a bit after completely changing his room to be neater, his bed was made, his dresser organized, dirty clothes were in his dirty clothes basket.

Then he heard the doorbell.

Percy raced to the door to get it, once it was open he could only be in awe.

There stood Annabeth Chase in leggings and boots with a large sweater to drape down to her mid-thigh.

"You look amazing." Percy mustered out and Annabeth tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you." she met his eyes and Percy couldn't help but get lost in the grey skies of her eyes that held so many galaxies of mysteries he wanted to explore down to cell of its beginning.

"Can I come in?" she asked and Percy got out of his daze, "Yeah! Of course!" Then she came inside and he closed the door behind her before following her into his house.

Soon they found themselves in the living room eating the pizza which was delivered by a fellow classmate named Leo Valdez.

Percy had put in the Disney cartoon Frozen because the winter was getting colder outside. During the movie Annabeth cuddled up next to Percy and by the end of the movie she was fast asleep.

Percy sighed and lightly pet her hair imagining her purring like a cat if she were one. Knowing she was safe around him, and he'd protect her.

Soon since it was dark Percy got up putting a pillow under her head to keep her comfortable before going up to his room to change into his PJ's which were long pants and a white t-shirt.

After changing he heard his door creak making him look back to see Annabeth looking around his room her head the only part of her in his room.

"Have a nice nap?" Percy asked as he gestured her to come inside before he threw his day clothes into the dirty laundry basket. Annabeth looked at him before nodding slowly and walking over to him before hugging him tightly taking Percy by surprise. Nevertheless he hugged her back a pretty pink blush covering his cheeks.

Annabeth sighed before pulling away and looking into Percy's eyes as he starred into her own. 

"I don't know what to say." Annabeth whispered. "I never thought anybody would love me, I never thought anybody could love me.." Annabeth trailed off as she glanced down as Percy looked at her in confusion for the sudden confession.

"I-I never thought I could feel things... But with you..." Annabeth placed her hand son his chest making Percy just a bit redder. "I feel things..."

Then she looked up at him with those captivating grey eyes before pushing herself and connecting the gap between them kissing him lightly.

Percy's mind went blank, her lips against his own was like fire on ice. She melted him under her touch. Or was it the other way around.

Annabeth quivered as Percy's hands found her waist. They slowly pulled away both red in the cheeks and ears and both lightly panting for breath.

Percy felt his lips tingling, he wanted more and bye the way Annabeth wouldn't stop glancing at his lips and biting her own revealed she wanted it just as badly as he did.

Percy moved forward wrapping his arms around her frame as she ran her hands into his hair their lips clashing against one another's as if they'd already done it a million times.

Percy moaned and picked Annabeth up by her hips before she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist sending a shock of pleasure roll through his body like a wave on the beach.

The longer they kissed the more passionate it grew, like they were both begging for one another.

Percy turned and slammed Annabeth onto his bed falling on top of her before caressing her neck with kissed as she ran her hands through his hair her breath quick and uneven.

After several moments Percy sat up as he straddled her waist before taking off his shirt with her help before throwing it to the ground. 

Then he met his lips once again with the only ones he had desired so badly. And at this point Percy was certain his lips wouldn't leave hers for the rest of the night.

~~

In his sleep Percy dreamed of someone laughing and not happily. Like an evil laugh, something that sent shivers down your spine making you uncomfortable and afraid.

Percy sat up and looked around in the darkness before looking back down to his bed where Annabeth lie sleeping soundly. Percy sighed, the laughing was a dream.. But at least she wasn't. Percy leaned down and kissed her cheek before spooning her and falling back asleep.

~~

Early in the morning Percy felt like he was half awake and half asleep. He heard clattering making him force himself to open his eyes. He saw the ceiling before patting the other side of the bed. She wasn't there.

Percy look to see Annabeth pulling up her leggings before he looked over at the clock to see it was 4 in the morning.

"Annabeth-?" Percy sat up before rubbing his eyes to make his vision clearer.

Annabeth looked at him before pulling her hair up into a pony-tail.

"We need to leave." she said before opening Percy's drawers and picking out clothes for him and throwing them back at him.

"Leave? Where? Annabeth are you playing me?" Percy asked and Annabeth looked back at him with complete seriousness.

"We can't stay here." Annabeth said almost looking afraid. "Why?" Percy was so confused. "Look I would've gone alone but... they might use you against me." Her voice trembled but her fists squeezed at her sided until Percy saw blood drip onto his carpet. She was cutting her palms with her fingernails.

"Woah, Annabeth." Percy quickly got up and grabbed her hands pulling them to himself and examining the palms where her nail marks were. "We'll have to fix this up now." Percy said and Annabeth sighed.

"Please put on your clothes."

She pulled away from him and started to walk out of his room, "I will clean my hands up.. Thank you.." Then she walked out leaving Percy confused and blushing red.

"Right, clothes. Shoulda thought of that-" He grabbed his underwear "-before you got up to save the day. You're such a hero Perseus." Percy scoffed at himself before slipping on all his clothing before grabbing a jacket as Annabeth came back into his room. 

"Please follow me." Annabeth said starting to lead Percy to the front door before they heard knocking. Annabeth gasped.

"They're here." She whispered before pushing Percy back up the stairs. 

Annabeth closed his bedroom door and locked it before sighing, "We'll need to use the window." She said and Percy's eyes widened.

"Why? They're probably just a sales-man." Annabeth shook her head at Percy's words before looking out his window at the tree.

"Why are we even doing this?"

"Just follow my lead"

Then Annabeth leaped out of his window and onto the tree almost not getting a grip making Percy almost get a heart attack from worry.

Percy let out a breath before going up to the window and jumping after her wrapping around the tree like a vine. Soon though they found their feet back on the ground. Then Annabeth looked both ways before grabbing Percy's hand and running down the dark streets and 4:30 in the morning.

~~

After much running they found themselves in a dark wet alleyway where Percy sat down to catch his breath as Annabeth paced back and forth her thinking face on.

The whole way there Percy had been begging for an explanation. And he was so curious as to what the explanation was.

"Annabeth, tell me what's going on." Percy finally demanded and Annabeth looked at him before sighing.

"Percy, there's something I've been trying to keep from you."

"I kill people."  

Percy gasped lightly in the darkness as he starred at her.

"I don't want to, but I can't stop." She explained with a sad sigh. 

Percy gulped sudden fear coming over him, "W-who were those people?"

Annabeth looked him straight in the eyes her galaxies of mysteries slowly starting to unfold before Percy's own eyes. "They're well, very important people. Very rich... and I killed their daughter."

"W-why?" Percy had nerve to ask.

"She was.... I can't say... Hmm I need my dagger." Annabeth said messing with her owl pendant necklace. Percy looked at it oddly It was the one thing she wouldn't let Percy remove from her.

Percy shook his head before putting it in his hands.

I can't believe I slept with a killer.. Percy thought wearily... And my first time... Percy sighed.

"We're going to my house." Annabeth pulled Percy to his feet before walking to her house as he followed avoiding eye contact with anyone on the streets that early.

Annabeth didn't even knock, she just barged in before running up to her room and opening her closet doors to reveal all sorts of weapons. She grabbed a bag and filled it with some of them before grabbing her dagger which had the symbol of an owl carved into it. It was beautiful.

Almost as beautiful as Annabeth was.

Annabeth then changed into warmer clothes as Percy laid on her bed starring at the ceiling in thought.

How did he get into this? Oh right, he didn't listen to his cousin.. Or Drew Tanaka... Did they know all this about Annabeth?

When they started to make their way out of the house Percy passed a phone. Should he?

He thought about calling the police and giving away her name, the direction she was heading in and her description.

He thought about how she'd be locked up and alone... But he also thought about the people she had killed and how many more lives she would end if she was given the chance.

Percy stood and starred at the phone, What was right?

Did he love Annabeth? Or did he love other people's lives more.

Percy reached for the phone but stopped himself. He, couldn't.

Percy sighed and wiped away tears as he walked outside waiting for Annabeth to come out to him.

When she came out they went and took Percy's car assuming the men were gone by then. 

"Annabeth, please teach me how you do it.." Percy muttered. "I don't know if I can do this if you don't." He explained sitting in the driveway.

Annabeth smiled over at him before leaning over and kissing him lightly on the lips.

"I'll teach you, I'll even get you a weapon." She promised leaning her forehead against his own and Percy nodded.

"Alright." Percy wiped away his tears before driving to wherever she told him to go.

<~~>

This was so messed up...... But hey at least I got a chapter in!

Also... OMGOSH I FEEL LIKE SUCH A JERK FOR BEING GONE FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT WRITING ANYTHING FOR YOU AND NOW I GIVE YOU THIS PIECE OF CRAP.

Also, I do not recommend doing what Percy did. (several things, actually)

First, like uhm. Don't have sex before marriage mkay?  It'll just create stress and make your life a mess.

(hey that rhymed!) not that that's good..... *coughs awkwardly*

Second, if this does ever happen to you, like you know a killer. Call the cops. or it ain't gonna end well.

also, the reason Percy didn't was because he's loyal.

Annabeth on teh other hand, in the therapist chapter.. She's more brains than loyal. So I made her choose what was best. as for Percy...

He will always choose loyalty, no matter what loyalty means. If it hurts him he's still loyal. as in the fanfic onshot thingy...

I feel like i'm failing at writing..

*sobs*
