Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus

So I decided after getting some feedback that I'm going to write this story! I want to apologize again for the misconceptions about this story, I don't mean for this to be a dark story, it's just starting out that way, I promise it will get better.

WARNING: If you get depressed easily, or are in a sad mood, I don't suggest you read this story until I get several chapters in. The beginning that I have planned isn't happy, and the story won't start to get happy for a few chapters

Well, I hope you all enjoy my first Fan Fictions From the Ashes, please review and let me know what you think about the story, character building, grammar and such. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Percy been dating Annabeth for nearly a year now and it had been the best of his life! He had spent the day alone in his cabin thinking about all the adventures he and Annabeth had been through together, and how they had come to be the couple that they were. While he was laying on his bed pondering, he caught a glint of light off the wall and looked at the shield-watch that Tyson had made for him. He remembered all they had gone through on their adventures and mishaps they had when they traveled though the Sea of Monsters to save Grover and find the Golden Fleece. He couldn't help but smile when he remembered Annabeth saving him from a future as a Guiney Pig on Circe's Island.

They had been through so much together and he wanted to do something special for their one-year anniversary, and he had been thinking about what he should do for days.

It was time for Percy to start his usual activities. He got up and decided to try practice sword fighting in the arena with the Athena cabin to try to clear his mind, and apart from the Ares cabin (who hated his guts) they were probably the cabin that was the most difficult to fight against.

When he got there, he found that the one person who he was excited to see wasn't there. "Where's Annabeth?" he asked Malcolm, but he didn't seem to know either. Percy shrugged it off, deciding she was probably on her own researching more about architecture.

As the day went on, he realized that he hadn't seen Annabeth anywhere. He checked her cabin and found that she wasn't there either. She must've gone off on her own for some reason. He decided it would be best not to go searching for her if she wanted to be alone. As Percy went back into his cabin, he laid down on his bed to think. He stayed there through dinner because he wasn't hungry and he needed to think of something to do for his anniversary. After a few hours his mind was wandering, thinking about everything he had ever done with Annabeth, his mom, his friends, really any adventure or trip he had ever taken. Then it hit him. He could ask her to come to Montauk with him! He had never been there with anyone but his mother, and technically Grover was there for a few minutes (long story) but that doesn't count. He decided that he could ask her to take a trip to Montauk for a few days for their anniversary and show her everything he had loved about the place even though he hadn't been there in years.

In a way, Percy thought of this as a way to share a piece of his heart. He loved going to Montauk with his mom, and hoped that Annabeth would see what it meant to him to share a piece of himself with her that had been for only him for so long. As he drifted off to sleep he was grinning, unable to stop thinking about all the adventures he had had there before, and hoping he could relive them with Annabeth. Now, all he had to do was think of a way to tell her. . .

Well, that's chapter one! If you have any suggestions, criticism (constructive only please), or ideas for me to use, let me know! And since I'm new, if you have any ideas on how I can transition the story a bit more smoothly, tell me. I obviously need a bit of work on that. I'm hoping to make future chapters longer, but I won't be filling them with random things just to take space. Thank you all for reading!
