There are many shades of red, from the darkest rose, to the palest sunset, but none compared to the shade that Percy saw as he gazed upon Clarisse on top of his girlfriend. THe thing that pissed him off most, was when he found Annabeth's shield and dagger, he thought he was going to be saving her, going to be her hero once again, he never in a million years would have thought he would find her, screaming the name of a girl she supposedly hated.

"No..you wouldn't do this to me" He spat out as he moved forward, grabbing Clarisse by the hair, though his glare was aimed at Annabeth at the moment "And you" His gaze finally shifting to the brunette who glared back. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, she's mine!"

Before Clarisse could argue anything, she was being dragged off the bed by her hair. A painful growl escaped her lips as her knees crashed into the stone floor. GRabbing Percy's wrist, she hit a pressure point, making him yelp in pain and release her hair. In seconds she was standing, her body poised to fight.

"She doesn't belong to you, nor to anyone else, don't you dare try and claim her" The brunette snarled, her eyes flashing crimson as she looked at the son of the sea god. She could hear Annabeth trying to explain things, trying to prolong the inevitable.

Percy moved first, rushing the warrior, landing a blow on her jaw, this did nothing but infuriate the brunette further. She never got the chance to hit him though, Annabeth beat her to that. Before Clarisse could register what was happening, Annabeth had already grabbed Percy by the shoulder and spun him around, her fist crushing his nose with ease.

"How dare you! How dare you hit her" The blonde glared, her eyes hard as sapphires as she looked at the boy she thought she loved. "You have no business claiming me, or being angry or anything, you stopped caring after we saved the damn world, you've been too busy trying to find something heroic to do, you haven't touched me in months!" She screamed as Clarisse watched the two in silence.

Percy looked up at the angry Athenian, blood streaming down his mouth and chin. He had to admit that he had been preoccupied the last few months, but he couldn't accept the fact that she went and cheated on him. "I never thought you would cheat on me, especially not with her" He spoke, blood spraying the ground in front of him with every word. "I thought you hated her! For Zeus's sake, why would you fuck Clarisse?"

Clarisse's eyes narrowed, a low growl rumbling in her throat "Are you insinuating that I'm not good enough for Annabeth?" She spat, already moving to stand in front of him, her arms crossed over her chest, fists pressed into her rib cage.

No one seemed to notice, or care, that both girls were stark naked, they were all far too lost in rage to even bother being embarrassed about the lake of clothing on both of the tanned women. Annabeth was the first to speak, before Percy could get in his jab.

"Clarisse, it doesn't matter what he thinks, for one, I'm done with him, if this is who the real Percy Jackson is, I'm not liking what I see and for two, you are far more than good enough for me" The wise girl managed a smile at the warrior and it seemed to calm the Ares girl.

Clarisse took a breath and looked at Percy, shaking her head "I can't say I'm sorry, I've been waiting for an opportunity to sweep her off her feet for a long time, it always pissed me off how you treated her, ignoring her most of the time, so you can either take this like a man, or I can break something other than your nose" She said, her eyes still holding a hint of red.

Percy snorted, which was a bad idea, as he choked on some blood, but still managed to look rather menacing. "Fine" He croaked after a few moments. He pushed himself up off the ground, shooting both girls a death glare before stomping off, leaving blood droplets in his wake.

As soon as he was out of sight, Annabeth's resolve crumbled "What have I done.." She murmured as she sunk to the floor, her arms snaking around her knees, hugging them to her chest tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She wasn't upset with the fact that she had just ended it with Percy, she just wished it could have gone differently, surely she had just lost her best friend. She was so lost in her dreaded thoughts, that she didn't realize she was being held, until she felt her body leave the cold stone.

The blonde blinked back to reality, her face felt hot and dry, her lungs ached for the air she was trying to inhale in short, raspy gasps. Clarisse sat in silence, just holding the Athenian close as she rode it out, rubbing her back softly, kissing her hair softly.

It was only after Annabeth had cried herself out, did the brunette speak "It'll be alright, I doubt he can stay mad at you forever, he's your best friend and let's face it, he'll probably be coming to see you at your cabin later tonight to apologize and then everything can go back to the way it was..." She spoke, her voice getting quiet.

In all honesty, Clarisse didn't want things to go back to the way they had been, she didn't think she could bare to let Annabeth go, she was the only person the brunette ever cared about and if she went away, Clarisse wasn't sure what she would do.

"I don't want things to go back..that would mean that I would have to forget about us, about what happened and I don't think I could do that, I never thought I would ever feel this way about a girl, let alone one I thought hated me for so long, but I'm glad that you made me your prisoner today, it opened my eyes to what I had been blind to for so many years" Annabeth spoke, pulling away from the warrior just enough to look into her eyes. "I don't ever want to go back, I just want to move forward..with you, Percy be damned" She grinned as the Ares girl laughed softly.

Clarisse couldn't remember the last time she had cried, which is why it shocked her to feel the warm moisture on her cheeks. They weren't tears of sadness, but quite the opposite, she was so full of joy that a little bit was spilling over, though, Annabeth's soft fingers did away with the dampness quickly.

"I don't want to go back either, I just want to be yours.." The warrior whispered, pulling the blonde in for a kiss. It was one unlike all of the others they had shared, this one was so full of love and acceptance and joy that Clarisse could swear she felt Annabeth's soul mingling with her own, bringing them that much closer.


Again, sorry it's short...
