Double digits!!

Previously on PJD:

"Luke, please! No more! I've had enough this week! It was a mistake!" I cry. He doesn't stop. He slaps me, and punches me in the gut, until I fall to my knees in the small closet.

My voice only comes out in hoarse whispers.

"Luke no, please," I say. I am panting. If I dare fight back, he will abuse me even more than he ever has.

He has me caught in his abusive relationship. One wrong move, ouch.

I was so scared when Percy hit me even the lightest bit, that's the only reason I went down. I was scared he was like Luke. But I don't think he is.

"Annabeth, I saw you trying to kiss him. You both kissing each other! You know that's cheating, right? And what just happened is what cheating deserves, alright babe?" He says, plastering a fake smile on his face. I nod slowly, and he opens the door to the closer, opening a hand and putting it around my waist as we walk out. I guess he really wants us to be known now. I see people smirking and pointing at us, going "oooh! So cute!"

I sigh. If only they knew the truth.

Now back to the story!

____________________________

Percy's POV

I walked through the bunker. It has been one week, since the incident. Luke just glares at me whenever he gets the chance, and Annabeth never talks to me.

What had happened? I'm concerned for her. I need to find out what's going on. I glance over to see a small scar underneath the sweatshirt that is Luke's. She quickly glances over and down, to see her scar is showing. She pulls the sleeve over it.

I sigh and get changed. One more week until the second part of initiation. I shouldn't care about that though, because I'm not even in the rankings pretty much.

1. Luke

2. Octivian

3. Jason

4. Piper

5. Frank

6. Nico

7. Leo

8. Hazel

9. Annabeth

10. Thalia

11. Travis

12. Connor

I am not on that list. Of course Luke is, but not me.

Annabeth is a powerful dauntless. She has been beating her opponents lately, and I wonder if Luke has been helping her train, or teaching her some moves lately.

After all, the two of them are a perfect match.

I hang my head and I walk to the arena. Everyone but Luke and Annabeth are here now. They arrive quickly after me, followed by a smile by Rachel. I think she doesn't mind as long as I'm free.

Ew.

"Alright initiates! You are going to have one more fight this week, and that is today! And the rest is training. These re the most important. If you wanna do well, then you have to have a challenge..." she trails off, and motions her hand forward. Out of the shadows comes all of the dauntless born on the ranking list right now. I gulp.

The most powerful one looks to be a blond hair with electric blue eyed boy. He has a scar on his upper lip.

He is Jason. I remember him from dinner once. He and Piper meet eyes and blush. I smirk, then frown because that could be me and Annabeth.

But it's not.

"Now, your groupings will be like this! Annabeth vs. Travis! Hazel vs Luke! Percy vs Jason! Octivian vs Nico! Thalia vs. Connor! Leo vs. Frank! Piper vs Selena! Calypso vs. Katie! That's it," Rachel yells. I wince when I hear I'm with Jason.

This is gonna be a short fight. And we all know who's gonna win.

Not me.

I watch Annabeth crush Travis, not moving up a rank though because she was already above him. They wake Travis up and he just stands on the sidelines. He doesn't even act hurt, even though his nose is bleeding. Everyone is getting better at handling their pain.

I watch Hazel and Luke go. Luke pounds her and Hazel look extremity scared and defeated. Hazel falls one rank bringing up Annabeth. I silently cheer in my head, knowing that as long as Annabeth makes it, I will be fine. She is holding hands with Luke, but her eyes keep avoiding him. I brush it off.

Next is me and Jason. I square up to him as Rachel says go. We both stand there, and give eachother apologetic glances. Then I brace myself for defeat. Jason comes running towards me, and tackles me to the ground. I hear a boo and I'm pretty sure it was for me.

I feel cold water being poured on my head in the split second I and on the ground.

They probably ran out of tomatoes.

But the feeling water gives me is different. Suddenly I feel refreshed, and a new profound anger and desire to win possesses me.

I get up and throw Jason off me. He quickly gets up and charges me again. I analyze that charging is his problem. He never waits for his opponent to come to him.

I feel quick as a bullet as I dodge him and punch him in the gut as I run by. He winces but turns around. Not fast enough. I slide under him and with my hand grab his ankles and pull his legs out from underneath him. He falls face first and hits his face into the floor.

This is the move that won me my spot.

Jason is unconscious.
