~Michaela's POV~

I was sitting on my throne 15 feet tall, watching Percy as he paced in front of me, in his normal height.

I find it funny, because usually I'm the one who goes back and forth pacing while thinking something over.

I rolled my eyes annoyed. "Percy!" I yelled.

He jumped, before sighing tiredly. "Are you sure this will work?"

"Yes." I didn't have to fake my confidence, I knew for a fact this plan will work.

"And it's too late to go back now." I pointed out.

He sighed, again. And continued pacing.

There was a series of three white light flashes, and I knew the plan is in action, all I need to do is to get Percy to stop pacing.

"Perseus Jackson, if you do not stop pacing. I will cut off your limbs, chop your head off, and put each body part on spikes. Showing everyone to not mess with me." I said, in a darkly calm voice. (This is one of the reasons why this book is mature.)

I felt, but didn't show, satisfaction when Percy paled and gulped, loudly I might add.

"Wow. Percy, what did you do to Michaela, for her to hate you." Leo asked, looking scared.

"Um, I hate to burst your bubble Leo, but Michaela isn't angry. She's annoyed." Percy said, fearfully and a little pale. He knew I would do it, I don't make empty threats. Everyone look horrified.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah. But, what about you, Mr. primordial of shadows?"

"If you asking if I'm annoyed, no. But, if your asking if I'm angry, then yes."

"Okay. Why are you having mood swings? First, you're annoyed. Then you pace and question everything, you do that so long you get tired. You get scared after I threatened you. And now you're angry. What is wrong with you?" I asked, actually puzzled as to what was happening.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You go behind my back and started a plan you developed without me knowing." He stated with fury in his eyes.

I raised an eyebrow. "The question is, why are you treating me like a child." I shrieked through gritted teeth.

The last thing that I saw before the lights went out, was the fury in Percy's eyes. I heard the screams of fear from everyone else in the room.

I moved just in time as a sword came down on me. I jumped to the right and pulled my sword out. We went back and forth trying to go in for the kill.

When the lights came back on, Percy and I had our swords to each other's neck. And with fury and a murderous glint in our eyes. Everything was silent.

That was until, there was a flash of light in front of us. I turned and dropped my sword in shock. I think I heard Percy do the same. I was standing there gaping like a fish.

I ran forward and hugged him.

I pulled away. "What are you doing here, Tartarus?"
I asked confused, making everyone in the room, except Percy, gasped.

"I saw you both fighting. You were on the verge of killing each other." He gave me a look.

I backed up to where Percy was and looked down ashamed. Percy did the same.

"Now. Go sit on your thrones and tell everyone in the room what's going on."

We did as we were told.

"Good. I will see you two later. My lord. My lady." Tartarus said bowing at the end, before teleporting away.

"I told you not to bow!!!!" Percy and I exclaimed together.
