Hi everyone, so this is my very first FanFic ever and I am so excited, so anyway this is a one shot for the House of Hades from Annabeth's P.O.V. I might update and add more chapters if I get enough reviews like even 20 is enough . Please no flames, since i'am really new to this whole FanFic thing.
ANNABETH:
We fell deeper and deeper into Tartarus, the darkest part of the underworld. I gripped Percy's hand even tighter, I was not going to lose my seaweed brain ever again. It seemed like we'd been falling forever, I kept wondering how in the world we would survive the fall. Then without warning we hit solid ground, I landed on my broken ankle. The last thing I remembered before blacking out was Percy calling my name. When I woke up Percy was trying to get me to sip some nectar. With a lot of pain I sat up. Percy looked pretty bad himself, his face was all scratched, and he had a deep cut on his arm. I figured I was probably in worse shape than he was.
Then I realized everything seemed unusually quiet. I mean Tartarus was the place where monsters go, so why weren't we being attacked. I heard a hissing sound coming from behind me; I knew it was Arachne even before I turned. My first thought was, great so she survived the fall too. I knew she wouldn't fall for anymore tricks, now all she wanted to do was kill me. I didn't like are odds, Percy had his sword, but his right hand was wounded. I was weaponless, and couldn't walk, in other words we'd been in Tartarus for like five minutes and were already doomed.
Arachne lunged towards me, but Percy put himself in between us. Arachne attacked first, by shooting a strand of silk trapping Percy's ankle. Percy cut it off, but Arachne had started cocooning him with silk. I hated feeling so helpless; I tried to think how I could defeat Arachne. According to Greek myths, the only way to kill her was beheading her. Percy was breaking free, and then he jumped forward, cutting off one of Arachne's eight legs. Just as I expected another one magically formed in its place. I knew that even if Percy knew that he had to behead her, getting close to her head would just cause him to get bitten, and be poisoned with Arachne's venom so I decided to keep my mouth shut. Instead I surveyed my surroundings, there was some debris, a couple of bones, and then I noticed a piece of sharp scrap metal a couple feet away. I crawled towards it ignoring the agonizing pain. I figured if I threw it just right I might be able to behead Arachne. My aim was pretty good, (I always beat seaweed brain at darts) being Athena's daughter I was good with most weapons. I prayed to Apollo, and Artemis hoping that their aim in archery would rub off on me. I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes after I threw it, almost certain it would miss.
I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Arachne's head disintegrating into dust. I glanced towards Percy; he was looking at me with pure admiration. For the first time, since falling into the pit leading to Tartarus I felt confident. I felt like a true daughter of Athena. Then I heard Athena's voice "you have done well Annabeth, I'm pleased." You'd better be I grumbled, considering all the pain Percy and I had been through. I slowly trudged over to Percy, and helped him untangle himself. We kissed and everything seemed to be alright. It didn't matter that we were trapped in Tartarus with no way out, as long as we're together.
Pretty please with a glazed cherry on to review
