Hello Percy Jackson fans! I have just finished mark of athena and am seriously mad so I decided to write my own version of the next book. Please feel free to review. This is my first story.

Percy

As long as we're together...

They were still together, but for ow long, Percy didn't know.

Percy's free hand grappled in the air, while the other clung to Annabeth's plea, hot and sweaty hand. The world around him got darker and darker, and the light above them, marking his friends silhouettes got smaller until it was only a tiny pinpoint, and then it was gone.

A feeling of free-fall was not a new to him. But the feeling of free-falling into Taratus, the endless cesspool of evil, was entirely new. Percy wasn't one of those daredevils that went sky diving into the Underworld o his downtime. He'd much rather spend his time, well, anywhere else.

Gravity managed to pull Percy down farther than Annebeth, so that he was underneath her. While he was gaping and coughing and yelping, she was abnormally quiet. Percy couldn't see her anymore, which frightened him.

No, no, no... This wasn't the happy ending Percy wanted.

A chunk of asphalt hit Percy in the head. Black and blue spots appeared in his vision. He felt his grip on Annabeth loosening. It panicked him and he pulled Annabeth to his chest. Im not letting go of Annabeth, He thought.

Annabeth was barely breathing. Percy called out, "Annabeth? Annabeth can you hear me?" She just nodded her head. Percy sighed in relief. She was still alive.

He couldn't see anything in front of them. There was nothing but the darkness. I wonder how long this will last, Percy thought. They had been falling for a really, really long time and it could be hours before they hit the ground.

Just then, Annabeth began to move. She whimpered and whispered, "my ankle."

Percy groaned. He had totally forgotten about her ankle. It was broken and was being pulled down by some stupid spider silk. That was the only reason they were falling.

"Can you hang on a little longer?" Percy asked.

"Maybe" It was barely audible when she whispered.

Percy really wanted to cut off the spider silk. Unfortunately, Riptide was tucked away deeply in his back pocket and there was no way of getting it unless he let go of Annabeth, which was not happening. He was the worst boyfriend ever!

Someone started to laugh. It was a female's voice and had a cold presence about it. It definitely wasn't human. When she spoke, she wasn't really speaking. More like speaking through his thoughts. Beautiful sacrifices. Beautiful. Percy knew automatically it was Gaea.

Percy was about to say, "Shut up!" but just then, a truck hit him and Annabeth.
