AN: Ok this is my first fanfiction. Don't kill me if it's bad. You guys know that I don't own Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus so all rights to Rick Riordan.

Annabeth I

I couldn't believe it. 8 month I was waiting for this. 8 months I was waiting to see him. Now I'm going to see him in five minutes and I don't know if I'm ready. I lay on my bed in my room on the Argo II. Leo really had done a great job on it. My room was made out of a deep mahogany, like the whole ship. I had book-filled shelves lining two of the walls. My desk held my laptop, a gift from Daedalus, and numerous folders holding battle plans and maps. On the wall by my bed, on one of the only book free spots, were two pictures. One was of Nico, Percy, Thalia, Grover, Clarisse, the Stolls, Rachel and I right after the battle with the Titans. The other was of Percy and I, laughing by the campfire and me.

I jumped about a foot out of my bed and had already grabbed my knife when I heard the knock on my door. I put down my knife, thinking it would be Jason, Leo or Piper coming to talk and shouted for him or her to come in. I hadn't even looked up until I heard the voice.

"Now now girl. Come with me."

The very voice shot shivers of dread down my spine. Wishing it to be someone else, praying to the gods, I looked up and confirmed my worst fears. Gaea was standing in my doorway.

"I will never come with you Gaea," I said, putting on my brave face, steel in my voice. My mind sprinting, I ran through my possibilities. There was no way I could contact the others without her knowing. My best hope was to try and keep her talking until someone came to check on me.

"So how did you even get on this ship?" I questioned, buying for time.

"Don't even try to distract me girl," Gaea said, as if she had read my mind, "I know what you are trying to do. I am stronger than ever and even with your weak little friends could you hope to defeat me. Besides, all the others are already under my control. Just like you will be. Come!"

With her last word, I rose up and walked toward her, my legs moving against my control. I tried to fight the pull, but it was like fighting Kronos's time control but 10x worse. My mind filled with dread as Gaea motioned me to follow and my body obeyed her order.

Percy, I thought, He thinks this ship is safe. We're leading him and the Romans into a great big trap.

Before I could think anymore, a tidal wave of ice flew through me and knocked me out, leaving me with one last view of a supposedly safe ship infested with monsters.

AN: Ok I know it's short. If you guys REVIEW *hint hint* I might make the next one longer.
