Percy Jackson: Blade Dancer

Chapter 14

Sadie P.O.V.

I sat and listened to Percy as he told me and Carter about defeating the Primordial Goddess Gaia, then about Annabeth, for reasons they stated they had no knowledge of, turning the entire camp against Percy with the exception of Clarisse and Thalia. I felt a blood vessel pop as I growled "And I taught that bitch my spells! Son of a bitch!" I felt a hand on my shoulder, seeing Percy smiling softly at me as he spoke "Hey, it's ok. You didn't know this would happen, none of us did." I looked at him as he smiled sadly, sliding  his hand away and looking down with a broken expression, one that broke my heart. When I last saw Percy he was so happy and strong willed, but now..he was just a shell. I took his hand, causing him to look up at me. After a moment, I leaned in and kissed his head. "We can only control our own fates and decisions, not others." He nodded slowly, murmuring softly
"Tell me, Sadie." I looked at him as our eyes met and his expression turned gruff

Percy P.O.V.

"Tell me, Sadie" I met her eyes as she looked at me, my expression turning grim as I looked at the ground slowly, sighing and meeting her eyes again as I spoke
"Am I a good man?" Her expression morphed into one of confusion, our eyes connecting as she looked down and sighed. After a moment she looked at me and spoke quietly "I…." She seemed to be lost in thought as I looked at her, waiting as she continued gently "I would like to think so, Percy. All the demi-gods and gods that betrayed you, I know you hate them. But I also know that You won't just sit there and let them die. That's not who you are" My head hung low before I felt hands on my cheeks, slowly looking up to see Sadie as Tears stained my eyes. After being silent for a moment, I murmured softly "I could save everyone….I could stop history from repeating itself…" she kissed my head and murmured "That's who you are, Perseus Jackson." I slowly looked at her as she continued "I may not know you as well as Zoe, or Annabeth does. But I do know you enough to know that You would never let the past cause you to ignore the possible death of millions. Because I also know your girlfriend here wouldn't let you just sit back and let it happen." I felt my face heat up at Zoe being called my girlfriend, slowly looking at the aforementioned Hesperide, whose face was equally as red. Looking back at Sadie I stuttered "S-she's not my girlfriend, Sadie. She's just a friend." Sadie just rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively "yeah yeah whatever. Now, What do you 2 plan to do now?" After a moment I shook my head, fixing my composure as Zoe and I looked at eachother. 

Zoe P.O.V.

Hearing Sadie's words caused my face to heat up, and I knew that I was blushing. Girlfriend? I slowly looked at Percy, who did the same as our eyes met and he turned back to Sadie uttering out "s-she's not m-my girlfriend." I felt my heart break a little at the tone of his voice. It was shaky, but also firm and had a finality tone to it. Sadie just snorted and waved her hand dismissively "Sure thing Romeo" I watched as she walked away, turning my attention to Percy, who was staring at the ground blankly. I wrapped my arms around him, laying my head on his shoulder as he whispered to me softly "You know I was lying, right?" I looked up, meeting his eyes as he murmured softly "I'm not really sure who, or even if there is someone I love. I just know that you are someone I care about". I nodded slowly, sad to hear that My feelings weren't shared. I wasn't downright crushing on Percy, but I did like him. After a moment I murmured. "I... see.." I felt Percy pull me into a hug as I rested my head on his chest, feeling him kiss my head as I closed my eyes.

Annabeth P.O.V.

I sat back in my chair, sighing and rubbing my forehead. I had been spending most of my time trying to figure out who could Possibly be the Hybrid the Prophecy spoke of. Everyone just assumed it was talking about Jason, but something in my head was nagging me that it was more than that. It couldn't be Jason, that didn't make sense. Yes, he was the strongest demi-god of the century, but that didn't necessarily mean he was the center of every prophecy. I sighed and groaned, rubbing my eyes "Jeez, this is all just one big headache" I looked out the window, seeing a bird sitting there chirping as I stared at the bird, my head swirling ".......Bird…." The gears in my head started to turn, my eyes widening "The Hybrid...isn't anyone here at camp. But then who..?" I sighed and decided to IM Thalia to see if she could think of anything. Going to the faucet, I Used a mirror to create a rainbow, throwing a coin into it as I put my hands together "Oh iris' goddess of rainbows accept my offering and show me Thalia Grace" after a moment I saw Thalia there, standing next to….Carter? I called out "Thalia!" The huntress spun to face me, Carter noticing me. He started to back away, and I swear I could see disgust in his eyes. I ignored it as I then noticed that Thalia's eyes seemed to darken at the sight of me. I was so confused; Why was she upset? I noticed Thalia's deadly glare, feeling shivers run down my back as I stuttered "T-thalia…I-i needed to ask you a-about...the p-prophecy…" This seemed to make her stop, her eyes narrowing as she spoke to me in a scarily calm voice "What prophecy?" I sighed, closing my eyes and tried to shake off my shivers from thalia's glare. I was just imagining things, right? Regardless, I began to recite the Prophecy 
"The prophecy went like this:
'Running through time against all odds
The Hybrid will Decide the Fate of the Gods
Through Guilt and Redemption it shall Prevail
Peace or Destruction the Hybrid must Sail'" She seemed to look at something, before beginning to talk to someone that was off the message screen. She then turned towards me as I cried out "THALIA, WAIT!" But she merely glared at me, swiping at the message and cutting the connection as I fell to the ground and cried.
