Percy didn't like you.

You didn't like Percy.

Maybe it's just because he's Poseidon's only son. Or maybe it's because you're Hades's only daughter. Both forbidden. Both powerful. Both despised each other. Which is why you were annoyed when he chose YOU to go on a quest with him, Grover and Annabeth to retrieve Zeus's lightning bolt so a war doesnt start out and to get Percy's mom, Sally, back from Hades.

That was two days ago. Two days ago when you guys left. And now, it's one day until the solstice. And when the clock hits midnight for the solstice, Zeus will have no mercy. He will brutally start a war with his brothers and family until he gets what he wants.

But now. Percy was having second thoughts about you. Over the fourty-eight hours he's been with you, he's had late night talks with you, slightly-friendly conversations, rescues for each other. He considered you as more than just the daughter of Hades, you were a demigod, just like him. Nothing more, nothing less.

So when he saw your ankle wrapped in a tight vine of regret, he tried to cut it off. He slashed Riptide multiple times but the vine wouldn't cut. He was starting to panic.
