By the gods of Olympus, why does this kind of person happen to Percy? They make him want to tear his eyes out and burst red all over his body.

You're an empusa, a girl so attractive that she can attract anyone, and just when she has them, she steals their soul... a shame, right? But of course, I'd do anything to keep you alive.

In a terrible chase that Percy, Annabeth, and Grover led you on, they ended up catching you, getting rid of your company. Just when you were about to be shot next, you stopped them.

—"I didn't want to do this! Please! Give me a chance..."—you said pleadingly, which made the others look at each other. They spared your life? Yes, would they let you go so easily? No, they opted to tie your wrists with a rope.

For a moment, Grover stood watching you while Annabeth and Percy talked. Annabeth refused to let you live, but Percy convinced her to simply extract information from you and maybe get rid of you. Annabeth had no choice but to agree.

—"Grover, come back"—Annabeth ordered, turning to look at him. Grover quickly nods as he approaches Annabeth and Percy. —"Make it quick, Percy." — Annabeth clarified, looking at him annoyed, while Percy nodded gently.

Percy approached you, while you followed in his footsteps until he stood in front of you, standing at your height, looking at you with contempt... but not completely.

—"Is she your girlfriend?" —You asked, turning to glance at Annabeth and then looking at Percy with a smile on your lips.

—"What? No, no!" —Percy clarified, taken by surprise by your sudden question as he shook his head at you, stuttering a little, then composing himself.

—"Oh....single?"—you asked back with your flirtatious smile, as if you didn't want to steal that soul of his but for the moment you would have to be by his side.

—"W-what-..."—Percy murmured and then frowned, pretending to be upset when inside he was dying of grief

—"that's not the point-.."—you interrupted him instantly

—"then I have a chance..."—you replied following his gaze and then looking at him from head to toe.—"No, no-..."—Percy murmured observing you, putting aside his anger without knowing how to react.—"Yes..."—you answered playing with him, while you challenged him to a battle of looks, leaning slightly towards him, Percy was about to collapse and his heart was beginning to pound.
