Annabeth
I woke up refreshed, my wound had been healed by... Percy.

Sage had told him that it is because he has the power of being one of the most important people in my life... I don't believe it.

He has hydrokinesis which means he is my sworn enemy. Maybe not by choice, but by duty. I mustn't gain feelings, even platonic feelings are prohibited.

"Annabeth, we've got to get going, change into something that's not covered in blood... please? It's giving me the creeps," Percy said.

I got out of bed and nodded, when I looked at Percy my jaw almost dropped. I wanted to let it drop... but no way would I let it drop.

He looked good... too good. It was impossible not to recognize it, I hate that I noticed it... I hated it even more that I wouldn't look away.

"Oh, also Alexander said to dress in something that can impress everyone. He set out a dress for you... I'm severely sorry beforehand," Percy says, cringing.

Now my mouth drops open, how dare he?! I trudge into the bathroom angrily. There's a beautiful blue and white dress sitting in my view.

It is beautiful, I will admit that. But does it mean I want to wear it in a forest? Hell no. Why would Alexander force me to wear something like that?

I guess it's the only clothing I have at this moment, so I close the bathroom door and change into the dress. My hair is ratty and I look through the cabinets to find a hairbrush.

I found one and brushed out my hair, what should I do to my hair? I eventually decided that I'll just do a braid.
