It’s been a hectic month of moving home, moving out of my childhood home, but I finally finished this amazing book. Seriously this book is amazing between the magic, the strong female characters, and the emotional storyline. If you haven’t read this yet, you really need to get on it! Oh and that cliffhanger, now all I can think about is going and buying the sequel as soon as possible!

Summary:
Nothing good ever comes from witches, or at least that is what Peter Hale has thought ever since he could think. On good days he has only hated witches enough to enjoy watching them bruning, instead of the usual thing that involves torture and then death by fire. Since he was young he was raised to remove witches swiftly from the territory that belonged to his pack. Witches are dangerous even when they do not intend to cause harm, but they always end up causing harm for it is the price of the magic and the need to display it.
Power corrupts.
But Peter has to admit that sometimes, just sometimes, having a witch around town targeting one Stiles Stilinski is a good thing for Peter.
If you love Peter Hale read this. If you need or like a good cry read this. If you want to see Peter in a redemption arc, Jackson too, read this. I don't normally read fics that don't include at least Sterek end game, but this one is worth reading. I also don't normally read MCD but this one is fixed by the end so don't let the tag scare you off. It will make you laugh and cry, have tissues ready.
I finished The True Meaning of Smekday and just wow what a fantastic and fun book and I'm sad I finished already I think one of my favorite things was when J.Lo would say "Get out of town." Idk I just laughed every time
“You're blind,” he states bluntly, feeling like a right idiot.“Actually, I'm Louis. And you must be Sherlock, nice to meet you,” is the reply he gets and Louis holds out his hand for Harry to shake.“Um, 'm name's Harry actually." or; the one where louis is blind and runs over harry with his skateboard and then it's meet cute
Summary: Annabeth thought she wasn't going to make it much longer. These constant headaches were killing her. Percy was being oblivious, and really, Aphrodite? Was this whole thing necessary? Follow Annabeth as she goes on a quest to save the goddess of love from her kidnapper and tries to (literally) get Percy out of her mind. Annabeth-centric. Percabeth. Set after The Last Olympian.

---9252013---
Annabeth is walking down the beach. Her swimsuit is blue, and she can feel the waves lapping at her ankles. She can't help but smile at the nice feeling of the sand under her feet and the wind blowing back her curls.
She hears, "Wise Girl!" and turns around to find her favorite person.
But instead of wearing his swim trunks like she expected, or smiling because he loves the beach, his eyes are wild and he is covered in blood. He runs toward her at top speed, pointing behind her and pleading with her to run away.
Annabeth realizes that she is wearing her bathing suit, so she doesn't have her knife.
Percy is still screaming her name, and she feels a knife plunge into her stomach.
"-seriously, Chiron. Is she going to be okay? I don't know what happened, we were just standing there and-"
"Percy, my boy, calm down. She's going to be fine. Look, she's already waking up."
Annabeth groaned and slit her eyes open. Bright fluorescent lights assaulted her eyes, and it took her a few seconds to focus.
The first thing she noticed: she was in the infirmary, lying in one of the many uncomfortable beds. Chiron was standing at the foot of her bed, and Percy was in the chair beside her. Percy looked extremely worried. He was leaned over her, so he took up most of her vision (not that she actually minded) and he was holding one of her hands. His eyebrows were scrunched together and his lips were pressed together in a line.
The second thing she noticed: her head was swimming with way too many thoughts for it to be just her. Sure, she was a daughter of Athena, and she did think a lot, but these some of these things were crazy.
I'm going to cut the next person that tells me everything will be okay. If I want to freak out then I will freak out! Could Annabeth really be okay? Is she sick? I told her she had been working too much! She never listens to me, but it's so great to see her eyes again.
Annabeth wasn't feeling any better. The initial shock of this whole thing had yet to fade, and she was so confused. Some of these thoughts obviously belonged to Percy (because she wouldn't ever be thinking about when she needed to wash her shirt or how blue pizza would taste) but some of the more intelligent thoughts weren't easy to separate.
"Percy," Annabeth groaned, tightening her fingers on his.
Thank gods. She's okay. She's okay.
"Hey, Wise Girl, you're okay. Tell me what happened." He said.
Annabeth looked up at Chiron before letting her gaze go back to Percy. "I don't know. I guess I just passed out."
Why is she lying to me? I know that's not what really happened.
Annabeth winced at that. This guy knew her to well. She wouldn't ever be able to fully convince him unless she had Chiron on her side.
Her hands are cold.
She took a deep breath. "Percy, will you help me up?"
No way. She needs to stay here and rest. Don't help her up!
"I think you need to rest for a little while longer." Percy said.
Annabeth looked up at him. Normally, she could get whatever she wanted out of Percy, but this time it looked like she was going to have to use a little extra force.
Crap. She knows that I can't stand it when she begs. Why are her eyes so pretty? Gods, Annabeth. Fine!
She tried to keep her smile buried. He thought her eyes were pretty?
Annabeth! She snapped at herself. Do not listen to him!
But how could she keep from hearing him? Whenever he was thinking something it just appeared in her mind. It was like reading a book. She couldn't help it! There wasn't an off switch on this thing!
Percy sighed and stood up, pulling her up gently so she was sitting. He started protesting again when she swung her legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand up.
She better not try to-
"Annabeth!" Percy said, snaking his arms around her so she was against his body. "You seriously need to rest."
She looked up at him. "I'm fine. Chiron, tell him to calm down."
She did not just pull that card.
The centaur looked pretty amused. "Percy, she's right. She's perfectly fine. Now, you go down to the arena. Your sword class has been waiting on you for half an hour."
No way am I leaving.
Percy scowled. "I am not leaving."
Chiron's eyes glinted mischievously, "You have my orders. Annabeth will go back to her cabin in a few minutes. Go."
Stupid centaur. Why should I have to leave? I swear he does this on purpose so he can see me lose my cool. He knows I want to stay here with her.
Percy's arms were tight around her and he looked back down to her eyes.
"I guess I'll see you later. Come get me if you need me?" He said as he started to let go of her.
I can't believe I have to go. This sucks.
Annabeth tried to ignore how much she wanted to curl back up in his arms. "Sure."
Percy huffed again and sent Chiron a glare as he walked out of the infirmary.
Stupid horse dude.
"I can sense you want to talk to me about something. I'm assuming it refers to Percy." Chiron said.
Annabeth nodded and twisted her hands, suddenly embarrassed. How did Chiron know? Was everything between them that obvious?
I swear I'm going to come straight back up here to find Annabeth after I finish teaching this stupid class.
Chiron nodded at her to continue and she took a deep breath.
"So yesterday I was on Olympus, and I presented Aphrodite her new temple. She loved it and gave me a gigantic hug and then threw pink dust and glitter all over me. I get back to Camp, and I'm walking back to my cabin with Percy and I get this awful headache. I figured it was just because I've been working so much, so I slept all night, and when I got up this morning, I felt great. Then Percy brought me breakfast, and… I could hear him." She said in a rush.
Chiron was staring at her with a quizzical look on his face. He obviously hadn't connected the dots yet.
Oh hey, there's Nico. Oh gods, look at Drew's outfit. Really? Mini-skirts to training? I'm glad Annabeth doesn't wear that stuff. Kinda embarrassing.
Annabeth tried to feel good about Percy thinking that, but she couldn't bring herself to. This was morally wrong! Those were his thoughts. She shouldn't be listening to him.
"Chiron!" Annabeth exclaimed impatiently. "I can hear Percy's thoughts!"
He looked confused for another half second before he rolled his eyes and tried not to laugh. "My dear, it sounds like Aphrodite has it in for you."
Annabeth couldn't help it. Here was her second father, laughing at her! He was freaking laughing at her! She stomped her foot, "Chiron! Stop laughing at me! This is serious! Can you make it go away?"
Gods, these kids are bad at sword-fighting.
Chiron considered it for a second, then he started to shake his head and Annabeth's heart sank. "I'm sorry, child, but there's nothing I can do for you."
How much longer?
Annabeth gripped her head in her hands. Her headache had stopped, but she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She didn't want this. Didn't Aphrodite realize that this was just a burden for Annabeth?
She just wanted a normal life for once. She just wanted to design Olympus, and get together with Percy when she wanted to! She didn't want Aphrodite's help!
But how was she going to get this whole thing to go away? She could go hunt down the goddess and demand that she put a stop to this whole mind-reading situation. The only problem with that would be finding her. Not to mention going outside of Camp without anybody else could get dangerous. She didn't really need any more excitement in her life.
I just want to go check on Annabeth! Why won't these kids leave me ALONE?
"Annabeth, you need to go rest for a while, if only to keep Percy happy. He was… understandably distraught about this. It really scared him." Chiron said.
She bit her lip, "It did?"
"Of course it did. He cares for you deeply, child."
"He does?"
Chiron laughed lightly, "Of course he does. Now, what are you going to do about this? As I see it, you have two options. Either a) live with it and learn to block him out or b) go find Aphrodite and politely ask her to fix it."
Gods, Drew, stop flipping your hair. It looks like your neck is broken. And seriously? Stop touching my biceps!
Annabeth tried to focus, but really? Drew was touching his biceps? Annabeth had half of a mind to march down there and throw her halfway across the arena.
She pushed her anger to the back of her mind. She would have to deal with it later.
"What do you think I should do?" Annabeth asked. She had always turned to Chiron for advice when she didn't have Percy to talk to.
Well, no shit I'm in a bad mood, Stoll. I don't have time for you to flirt with all of the Aphrodite girls!
Chiron rubbed his beard, "I'm not sure, child. This could be easy to deal with, but going on a quest right now could be especially dangerous. I know that you feel like this is invading his privacy and such, but maybe Aphrodite did this for a reason."
Annabeth felt her jaw drop. Did Chiron… Was he really siding with Aphrodite?
"Don't blame me for my opinion. Just think on this. Be logical; don't do anything rash just because you're afraid." Chiron said. He gently pushed her toward the door. "Now go rest before Percy comes back here and yells at us both."
Eew. I'm sweaty. I should probably take a shower before I go see Annabeth… Would she notice? Yeah. She totally would. Just hurry up!
Annabeth couldn't decide what else to ask Chiron. She nodded slowly and let him push her out of the infirmary and into the sunshine outside.
Ω
Annabeth walked back toward her cabin, mainly letting her feet take her there while her mind wandered.
She kept stumbling into Percy's thoughts. She would just be thinking about something on her own, and then bam! She would get a headful of "Man, I suck at archery," or "I wish I was at the beach."
And it was weird. She was trying to ignore them, but sometimes, Percy would be thinking about her, and it would be so hard not to listen.
I really want a coke. Oh man, I need to call Mom! I bet she's pissed that I didn't let her know how Annabeth was doing! Granted, I don't know either, but still… Ah well. I'll get to it later.
Annabeth was so preoccupied with all of these thoughts, she didn't even notice she ran into somebody until they grabbed her shoulders and yelled her name.
"Annabeth!"
She shook her head and focused her eyes on the person in front of her. "What?"
Nico di Angelo was grinning at her. He slowly let his hands fall from her shoulders and he took a step back.
"I'm surprised you didn't pass out on me." He said with a smirk. "Or maybe you only do that for Percy."
Annabeth felt her cheeks get red. "Shut up, Nico. I've got a lot on my mind."
I wonder if we're going to play Capture the Flag on Friday. Wait, will Annabeth even feel like playing? We won't be able to win without her!
Annabeth rolled her eyes at Percy's thoughts. Of course they wouldn't be able to win without her! He should really be focusing on teaching that class instead of thinking about her!
"Well, anyway, you look like death, and that's saying a lot coming from me." Nico said with a look at her. "Come on, I'll walk you back to your cabin."
She rolled her eyes, but let Nico start to lead her back to the Athena cabin. "I can make it there on my own."
"And risk Percy throttling me for letting you stumble there by yourself? No way." Nico said.
Annabeth almost blushed. Would Percy really do that? For some reason, Annabeth didn't doubt it.
Where did Nico go? He's supposed to be in this class. Doesn't that kid know that he has to follow the rules too?
Nico and Annabeth walked the rest of the way in silence. She hadn't ever really taken the time to get to know the son of Hades, but since the war had been won, he was spending his time at Camp Half-Blood with Percy, so they crossed paths a lot. This was probably the longest interaction she had ever had with him. A couple of years ago, they had been on a quest together in the labyrinth, but he had associated more with Percy than he ever had with her.
Since then, Nico had grown up. He was still wearing all black, and he still put out that "death vibe," but he wasn't a son of one of the Big Three for nothing. If she didn't have a thing for Percy, Annabeth would probably be interested in him.
I wonder if I have any clean clothes to put on. I seriously need to do some laundry.
Annabeth couldn't help but laugh at that. Seriously? Was this kind of stuff what Percy thought about all the time?
Nico sent her a weird look. "Annabeth, I think you need to take a nap or something. You're breaking under all of this stress."
"I am not. I'm perfectly fine." She said sharply. Why was everybody assuming that she needed to rest?
"You're laughing for no reason. That's not perfectly fine, Annie." Nico teased.
"Watch it, Death Breath. I can still beat you up." She threatened.
Man, I'm tired.
They arrived at the Athena cabin and Annabeth gripped Nico's arm as they walked up the stairs. Her head was a little bit better, but she was still dizzy enough to stumble when she walked.
"Thanks, Nico." She muttered as she let go.
"No problem. Want me to go get Percy?" He asked.
"No!" She said frantically. She didn't want to be around him right now. At least not until she got everything figured out.
Nico was staring at her with his eyebrows raised, but he just shrugged and said, "Okay. See you later."
He walked off, sticking his hands in his pockets and not looking back.
Annabeth let out a relieved breath. Thank gods for Nico and his lazy attitude.
Thank gods! Now I can go find Annabeth!
She let out a squeak in response to that. She wasn't ready to see him! She didn't want to see him!
Okay. That was a lie. Of course she wanted to see him, but she just couldn't stand to see him there and-
Chiron had acted like she should just keep listening to him like nothing was wrong, but how could she do that without it feeling completely wrong? She was a daughter of Athena, and she loved to gain knowledge, but really? Why would she ever want to read Percy's thoughts?
My hair looks weird. Maybe Annabeth won't notice.
Yeah. She was going to notice now.
Of course she's going to notice. Should I try to fix it?
Annabeth sat down on the edge of her bunk. Her heart was beating overtime and her hands were shaking like she was on a sugar high. Why was she so anxious?
Oh! She wasn't anxious! Percy was! She could feel what he was feeling now? That hadn't been happening earlier!
Calm down! It's just Annabeth! Yeah, just Annabeth, the girl that I've liked for the past five years. No reason to be nervous. None at all. Oh wait! Yeah! There kind of is!
Annabeth fell into a coughing fit. Her body had managed to react to that thought before she could even decipher it in her mind.
Percy liked her?
Percy Jackson, Savior of Olympus, Slayer of Kronos, had liked Annabeth for five years? But what about Rachel? Didn't he like her first? Wasn't that the reason Annabeth had held back her feelings for so long?
Now, she felt pretty stupid. Now that she knew for sure, all of the signs were there. The way he looked at her, the way he treated her, the way he touched her, they were all signs that he had always liked her. Had they always been there? And if they had, had she been too stupid or prideful to see them?
Annabeth knew he was walking up the stairs a few seconds before she heard his feet against the wood.
Annabeth was right when she said I needed to bust up my cardio. It's kind of embarrassing for those little steps to make you tired.
Slowly, she laid back and curled up on her side in her bunk. He was going to be able to see right through her, but she could always test out her acting skills regardless.
Come on, Jackson. It's just Annabeth. Go check on her.
The door swung open and Annabeth closed her eyes right before a shadow fell across her face.
Why is she sleeping with her shoes on?
Dang it. She had been distracted by Percy's thoughts and forgot to take them off.
Percy walked over to her bunk and sat down beside her. Before he could figure out she was pretending to be asleep, she opened her eyes.
I knew she wasn't asleep.
"Hey, Wise Girl." He said as he scooted a little closer to her.
Annabeth rolled over onto her back and looked up at him.
Percy's eyes were smoldering. His sea green was a shade darker, and his eyebrows were scrunched low over his eyes. He kind of looked like he was starving and he needed her.
Suddenly, Annabeth got a vision of Percy leaning over her and kissing her until they both couldn't breathe. So now she could see what he was thinking about? Great. (Not.)
Just tell her! She has to like you!
Annabeth stared at Percy while he continued to think about it.
But what if she doesn't? If I tell her and she doesn't like me back, what am I supposed to do? What if I scare her away? I can't lose her like that!
She realized that they had been sitting there in silence for at least a minute while she listened to Percy's thoughts.
Annabeth tried for a smile, but it felt forced. "Hey, Seaweed Brain."
Why the fake smile?
"Hey," he said again. His voice was really soft, and Annabeth felt like she could get used to hearing it like that. "How do you feel?"
She pushed herself up so she could sit beside him. "I'm okay."
Annabeth felt like the complete opposite of "okay." She felt like she was going to break at any given moment. All of this was too much to handle. Now that she knew that Percy liked her for sure, she supposed to tell him that she liked him back, right? She was supposed to feel awesome, and she was supposed to lean over and kiss him right now, right? And then she was supposed to pull back and laugh at how surprised he looked and kiss him again, right?
But she felt awful about it. How was she supposed to feel good about this? Now that she could hear Percy, nothing was a surprise. How could she not be a little disappointed that she had found out like this?
Why does she look upset?
"You don't look okay." Percy said.
Annabeth pushed out all of the disappointed thoughts and tried for a real smile. "No, really. I'm fine."
"What were you talking to Chiron about?" Percy asked.
That question blind-sided her. How had he known she was talking to Chiron?
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Oh please, Annabeth. Don't pull that crap with me right now.
Percy tilted his head to the side and his hair swooshed down in that direction. Why did he think it looked weird? "After I left. I knew that you were going to talk to him because he made me leave. So spill."
Annabeth bit her lip. What was she supposed to tell him? There was no way in Hades she was about to tell him that she could read his mind. The seaweed brain would pass out right here in the floor of her cabin.
"Oh. He was just telling me that I needed to take a few days off. He said that he was going to send a message to Zeus and Athena and tell them that I had to relax for a few days." Annabeth flat out lied. She hoped that he wouldn't be able to tell, and she was going to have to make sure she told Chiron so he could back her up in case Percy went to ask him.
Not what I meant. What isn't she telling me?
"Come on, Annabeth, I know something else is wrong." He said.
Annabeth shifted on her bed. While they were talking, she hadn't realized that they had scooted so much closer to him. Now, she might as well have been sitting in his lap.
She got up and walked over to a bookshelf, pretending to look for something.
She didn't even look back at him when she said, "Nothing is wrong, Percy. I told you that I'm fine."
Why is she lying to me? I know something is wrong!
Annabeth stared at the book she had in her hand as she tried to keep her eyes away from Percy's.
Don't do this. You're going to make her mad. Don't-
She felt Percy's hand on her shoulder before he spun her around so he could look at her. His gaze was intense, and Annabeth was surprised to see him so upset about this.
"Annabeth!" His voice was low.
She took a deep breath. She was not going to give in just because his eyes looked extremely beautiful or she just wanted to reach up and kiss his jaw-
"What?" She snapped.
Percy finger's tightened on her shoulder, and his other hand gripped her left hip. "Tell me what's wrong."
She tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but he wouldn't let go. "Nothing is wrong! I told you that I'm fine!"
Really?! Does she really think I'm that stupid?!
They were nose to nose, and if Annabeth leaned up about half an inch, she could have kissed him, but Percy looked way to mad to be interested in kissing her. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes kept flashing dangerously.
Note to self, Annabeth thought as she struggled to lean back a little. Don't get in a fight with Percy and make him mad.
I am so not backing down. Not this time.
Annabeth let out an exasperated sigh. She banged her fists against his chest, knowing that it didn't hurt because of his curse. "Seriously, Percy! I'm fine! Now let go of me!"
"Not until you tell me what's wrong." Percy growled.
She didn't know what to do. She knew that she wasn't going to tell Percy about the whole mind reading thing, but she had never been in a fight like this with Percy. Sure, they argued all of the time, but they were never really pissed with each otherlike Percy was now.
And she was a little scared. She knew that Percy would never under any circumstances hurt her, but the Slayer of Kronos had her pressed up against a bookcase, bent over her, practically growling in her face. Not to mention, that his grip kept tightening on her. Any sane person would be freaked out.
Annabeth swallowed and steeled her nerves. She was not going to let Percy know she was nervous.
"Percy, let go of me right now." She said.
Annabeth-
"Let. Go." She said just as viscously.
Not until she tells me what's wrong.
Annabeth twisted inside his step and jerked his arm around his head before twisting behind him. She was behind him and had his arm pinned against his back.
She leaned up to his ear, trying to ignore how much he smelled like the ocean. "Percy Jackson, don't you ever do that to me again. I told you that nothing is wrong, and now I want you to leave me alone."
How did she manage to do that?
"Annabeth-" Percy said. His voice was back to normal, and Annabeth was pretty sure he was about to apologize.
She didn't really want to hear it. She was tired, and pissed off at Chiron, and Aphrodite, and Percy, and all she really wanted to do was curl up in her bunk and go to sleep.
She let go of Percy and turned away from him. "Go, Percy. Get out. I'm done talking."
What? Now she's telling me to get out? Is she serious?
"I'm serious!" Annabeth didn't even realize she was answering his thoughts instead of his real voice. "Leave!"
Fine! If that's what you want then fine! I'll leave!
Annabeth flinched when Percy yelled that in his mind. She managed to catch a glimpse of his face before he stormed out.
His face was usually crowned with a crooked smile, but now, his lips were pressed together in a frown. His eyes were stormy, and his jaw was clenched so tight, she was sure his teeth were hurting.
Annabeth felt awful when the door slammed and she could see Percy stomp across the grass through one of the windows. She let a few tears drip out of her eyes before she curled up in her bunk and prayed to any god she could think of.
