CHAPTER 4

Messing with memories is fun.

Honestly, it really is! Don't believe me? Think I'm evil for saying so? Then you should really try messing with someone's memories sometime, because it really is fun!

After I had taken out Percy, it was time to take care of the rest of the camp. Being a son of Hermes makes it pretty easy to steal, more specifically, steal potions and spells. So I stole some potions and the spell book from the Hecate cabin, putting a memory altering spell over camp. I had said the spell, sending a magical fog all over camp and changing everyone's memories.

The main thing I changed was that I had basically swapped places with Percy. Everything Percy had ever accomplished, he didn't. It was really me! I was also a son of Poseidon now. I made sure everyone loves me too, making me super popular. That sounds cliche but it was worth it. And I didn't just arrive two days ago, I arrived five years ago.

Moving onto specific memories, I made it so that we soon as I had met Annabeth, I had swept her off her feet and she's been obsessed with me ever since. We finally started dating a year ago and she is obsessed with me. That lady has got to be one of my most favorite memory changes.

The next memory change qualified for every single girl at Camp. They all had huge crushes on me (don't judge, it makes me feel special), but they still respected me and amazing Annabeth's relationship. Even the Hunters of Artemis that were staying at Camp at the moment had been effected by that. But they all still respect the relationship I'm in.

The next was about that Jason Grace boy. I had met him today and he certainly is popular, just like Percy. So I changed everyone's memories to think that Jason is just some jerk outcast that everyone hates and hardly knows. Even Jason believes that! I also made everyone think that everything Jason did, I did, making me even more popular! It was a bit tricky altering their memories when he and Percy got amnesia through, but I managed to do it.

I did a bunch of other stuff too, like how everyone thought that they had to all listen as me, seeing me as a supreme leader. The rest is all just small details to make sure my power stays, but I had so far gotten everything I wanted, mainly Annabeth and fame.

The only problem was, just because everyone thought I was a son of Poseidon, didn't mean I actually was. I didn't have powers like that or anything. So I found a simple solution... and sucked the power right out of Percy. Let me explain. Percy came in the woods that night like the idiot he is, and I knocked him unconscious. I then used a very powerful spell I had learned to suck Percy's magical powers out of him and into me. So not that complicated, really.

So now that everything I could have possibly done to make myself happy was done, I was happy. I walked out of the Poseidon cabin, a fresh set of clothes on and waiting for the fun to begin.

"Hi, Oliver," Clarisse, the bit Ares oaf, waved at me as she walked past.

"What's up, O?" Connor said as he walked past me, fist-bumping. This happened a few more times, mainly with campers I didn't even know me. Yet they were acting like we've been friends for years. Interesting.

I walked just about to reach the dining pavilion when I felt someone jump onto my back... what the heck? I tried to turn around to see who it was but it didn't work because they were, well, on my back. I heard giggling and realized I recognized the beautiful voice. "Annabeth?" I said.

I heard more giggling as Annabeth jumped off my back, jumping in front of me and placing a kiss on my lips to my utter shock. I quickly reminded myself that she 'loves me' and 'we're dating,' so this was normal... I guess.

"Hey, babe," She smiled.

"Uh, hey Annie," I said, still in a bit of shock.

Annabeth looked the same as she usually did, but there was one main difference. She wore makeup. And it was very expertly and beautifully applied to. "Annie? Are you wearing makeup?" I asked her.

She blushed, but looked confused. "You finally noticed! You never even say anything, but studies show that makeup makes boys love girls more, so I put it on every day," Annabeth said. Okay, I don't know where she heard that 'studies show thing,' because it definitely wasn't true, but the makeup was definitely very cute.

"Somehow, you look even more beautiful then when you don't where makeup," I grinned, planting a kiss on her lips with no one there to stop me. She just giggled. Okay, giggling Annabeth was definitely kind of weird, but as long as she was in love with me, I didn't care."

"Well, I need to get to breakfast. I'm starving!" Annabeth said.

"Same," I said nodding, "Too bad we can't sit at the same table."

"Oh, Chiron would totally let you sit wherever you want! It's the least he could do after all you've done," Annabeth said.

"You really think so?"

"Of course, silly!" Annabeth sat, kissing me on the cheek. "I'll see you there, Seaweed Brain."

And here's chapter four! Hope you liked it. And again, I haven't edited so... yeah. Sorry if it was shorter then you hoped.
