Title: I Would Never Hurt You, Don't You Believe Me?

Full Summary: When Annabeth thinks Percy cheats on her, she becomes a Huntress. But Percy didn't cheat on her. He was practicing proposing to her (not for real yet, just a promise ring) and Aphrodite agreed to help. When he finds out she's a Huntress, he falls into despair. He doesn't eat, leave his cabin, doesn't train and refuses to talk to anyone except for Hazel, who is like his little sister. When the Hunters come back to Camp Half-Blood, Thalia asks where Percy is because she has something to tell him. "I don't know. Probably in his cabin. He hasn't left his cabin, eaten, trained or spoken to anyone except Hazel since Annabeth left. And Hazel has reported that he is slowly... dying. Nothing helps, not even nectar or ambrosia." Annabeth runs to Cabin 3, but no one is there. A note labeled 'Hazel' is left. Hazel reads it. "I'm leaving this place. I love it, but I have too many memories of Annabeth and other people i love(d) here. But I have no bad memories from Camp Jupiter... Good-bye Hazel, I love you." Will Annabeth be able to convince Artemis to let her be with Percy? And will she find him before it's too late? (Percabeth) (Mostly Annabeth's POV)

(Annabeth's POV)

"I can't believe you Percy! How could you?"

I had gone down to the beach to meet Percy. But when I got there, he was there with another girl, a beautiful one with dark curls and brown eyes, how I always wished I could look.

At first I thought, maybe they're just talking, but then they hugged and Percy had a loving look in his beautiful sea green eyes.

He turned around when he heard my voice. He turned around, smiling, and called my name happily "Annabeth!"

I blinked, and the girl was gone. But I knew she really was there.

I stormed towards him, wiping the smile off his face. "How could you? I trusted you Percy! We even went through Tartarus together!"

Understanding flashed across his face as he spoke "Let me explain Annabeth. Then you can decide what you want to do but please, please, hear me out."

"Why should I?" I asked, choking back sobs.

"Please, Annabeth," he pleaded with me, tears forming in his eyes,

I took one last look at him, the boy who stole and destroyed my heart, then spun on my heel and ran into the woods.

I heard him chase after me, but I was too far ahead of him. The last thing I heard before it went silent was "Annabeth! I love you!" shouted by Percy. I could tell he was crying, which he almost never does. I've only seen him cry one other time, when we were down in Tartarus and he thought I was dying. I felt a little bad that I made him cry, but not enough to stop or go back.

All of a sudden, it was quiet, Percy's calls were silenced.

Out of the shadows came a young girl, dressed all in silver.

"Annabeth Chase." I recognized the voice.

"Lady Artemis," I bowed, then waited, knowing she was here for a reason.

"I see you have run from the young hero of Olympus, Percy Jackson."

I wiped the tears from my cheeks. "I... I don't want to talk about it... It's too soon."

"I've never said this before but you should go back to him Annabeth. He loves you more than anything. Just hear him out," she replied gently.

I was surprised she didn't immediately ask for me to become a Hunter. If Lady Artemis is telling me to.. maybe I... No. I'm not going back now. "I can't."

She sighed wearily. "It would've been for the best. But if you refuse," she looked pointedly at me, "I can offer you a position as a Hunter. You shall be thirst in command, behind your friend Thalia and Phoebe. Is that what you want?"

"Yes, I do," I replied, not thinking through the consequences.

"Very well." There was a sudden burst of silver light.

I looked down, to find myself dressed all in silver, a bow in my hand, and a quiver full of silver arrows slung over my back. "Thank you, Lady Artemis."

"Now, be on your way. The Hunters went through here recently so their trail should still be here."

WIth that, she turned and ran into the woods.

I followed the Hunter's trail. I finally found them in a cave on the border of Canada. I heard one of them say "I hear something."

As I came into view, I heard Thalia shout, "Stand down! She's one of us," as the girls lowered their bows.

Then she noticed it was me. "Annabeth? What are you here? And a Hunter? I thought you were with Percy..." she trailed off uncertainly. "Last time I talk with my cousin, yesterday actually, you two were doing fine. You should have heard him," she mentioned, eyes sparkling. "He had a surprise ready for you. You would've been getting it tomorrow. It's the best thing ever! Even I love it and I'm a Hunter."

She stopped when she looked at my face. "Please Thalia. I don't want to talk about it now, but maybe later," I responded softly, trying not to cry.

She nodded her head, accepting my response for now.

I admit, it is pretty fun being a Hunter. I can run way faster than before and I've stopped thinking about Percy as much.

It was nice to have a break, be some one different. I wonder how things are back at Camp...

(Percy's POV)

I woke up in my cabin, sun streaming through the window. It had been seven days since Annabeth left.

I sighed. I hadn't left my canon since I got back after she left. So that meant no training, eating, or talking to anyone. Sure, people stopped by my cain, but I only talked to Hazel. She and some of the Roman demigods, like Frank, Hazel, Gwen, Dakota and a couple others are staying here at Camp Half-Blood for a while. I trust Hazel more than anyone now a days. She's like my little sister. I guess technically she is family, except she's my cousin.

I got up when there was a knock on my door. I opened it, revealing Hazel.

"Hey Hazel. Come in," I spoke, no emotion in my voice, just like it's been for the last week.

She walked in, a bagel in her hand. She sat down on a bunk and offered me the bagel. "You should eat something. It's been a week Percy," she spoke softly.

"No thanks, I'm not hungry. I swear," I quickly added on, seeing the dubious look on her face.

She nodded, then gently spoke, "What happened Percy?"

I hadn't told her what happened yet, because it was too soon, too painful.

I sighed, deciding to tell her. "You know how I was going to give a promise ring to Annabeth as a promise that I'll ask her to marry me one day?"

She nodded.

I continued. "Aphrodite saw me practicing, so she came down to help. She thinks Annabeth and I are... were" I paused, blinking back tears "made for each other, the cutest couple ever. And as you know, she looks like the most beautiful person to everyone. One person could see brown curls , another straight red hair. It didn't feel that awkward because I saw Annabeth. Then... Anna saw Aphrodite helping me, but saw someone else. A brunette with curls and brown eyes. I know that because she told me before. That's what she wishes she looked like, but she's perfect to she thinks I cheated on her, which I would never do. And I have no idea where she is," I finished.

"Oh Percy..." Hazel leaned over to hug me. "I wonder where she is..."

A/N: I hope you like this story so far. :) More action will come later. I'll be using Anna as a nickname for Annabeth if you haven't figured it out yet.
