Annabeth POV

We had been running for days. In the end it was just the four of us: Grover, Thalia, Luke, and me. Grover told us we were close, we would be there in a couple days a week max., there was only one problem, every single monster that we had come across, is pursuing us. That's when we met her.

I hardly knew anything about her but to me, she is the greatest thing that had ever happened

We literally crashed into her in front of her apartment building. When she saw us she looked scared, then she smiled, the kindest smile I had ever seen, and told us her name was Sally.

"Are we sure she's not a monster," I whispered to Thalia as we sat at her table. Thalia just grinned. It was at that moment that Luke came out of the bathroom, "No way, monsters don't live in tiny apartments in New York City, and they definitely don't make cookies like this," he said while taking a cookie from the plate Sally had given us.

"But why would she let us in her home, a bunch of dirty children she met on the streets."

Sally walked out of her bedroom, she didn't look hurt at all, she smiled her sweet smile and I knew that everything would be ok if she was there, "I can see who you are, and I can see what is following you, and I want to help. I wish I could help you more but I'm afraid my husband is coming back tomorrow and he isn't the most… lenient person so you can only stay here for tonight."

"it's perfectly all right Sally, any help is really ok." Grover seemed perfectly at ease in front of her, so I figured we would be alright. We sat there in content munching on cookies, and taking a much needed break from running away.

"Oh, shoot," her sudden outburst made us all jump, I almost pulled out my weapon from instinct, "I need to go pick my kid up from school. I will be right back." She rushed out of the building before we could even say a word.

It was not long before she returned with a child about my age in tow. His hair was black, and his eyes were a clear sea green.

"This is Percy," Sally spoke with all the love and adoration for her child that half-bloods like us can never dream of having. Thalia got up and walked to the child who remained stuck to his mother's hand, it wasn't long before Thalia was cooing over the little boy. Luke was cautious, staying back and watching so I held back as well, looking curiously at this foreign creature. I watched Grover who looked shocked at first, then confused, before his face settled into a mixture of fear and worry. Just as Percy had found a new buddy in Thalia who had managed to get Percy of his mother's hand and say hello, Luke cleared his throat obnoxiously. "Thalia we need to get supplies," he spoke with a bored tone, as if this entire experience was just irritating to him, Thalia reluctantly followed waving goodbye to Percy as she shut the door behind them, Percy immediately clenched his mother's hand again and stared at me, his eyes drove straight through my soul and I couldn't look away

Erm, Sally," Grovers voice broke the trance and I looked down at my feet, refusing to meet anyone's eyes, "Can I talk to you for a minute," Sally's kind smile broke immediately and her face turned into a look of worry, she bent down to smooth out the boy's hair, which stuck right back up after her hand left it, and gave him a kiss on the forehead, "I have to go talk to Grover now so why don't you say hi to that little girl over there," the boy didn't look the least bit embarrassed by the public display of affection and just nodded and let go of his mother's hand. Sally and Grover walked into the hallway

"Hi I'm Annabeth," I stuck my hand out to shake his but he just looked at me kind of funny before saying, "Annie, hi Annie, I'm Percy." I spent the next half hour with Percy, he showed me around the house, I told him not to call me Annie, he talked about his mom, I told him not to call me Annie, he asked me about my parents, I told him:

"Don't call me Annie!" I shouted, at exactly that moment Thalia and Luke walked in, Thalia chuckled while Luke stood with his usual stoic face, but I think I could see a glint of pride in his eyes. Soon after Grover and Sally came back in, but now I could feel a faint sense of sadness as she showed her adoring smile to her little boy once again.

"Well, tonight, Annabeth and Thalia can sleep in my room and Grover and Luke can sleep out here on the sofa-bed, alright?" We all nodded warily and Percy scrambled back to his mother, He stayed with her in the kitchen while she made us dinner, and sat next to her while we ate. We decided to go to sleep immediately after, since tomorrow would be a long day for sure. As Sally gave the boys blankets and said good night to Percy, me and Thalia found our way to Sally's bed room and past out immediately. My dreams that night were… interesting: a male voice that spoke with infinite knowledge of the cosmo's said, "soon child, when a special person arrives," a beautiful young lady laughing a sweet, twinkling laugh, that that made shivers run down my spine, A man, probably in his thirties, watching the ground, as though he could see right through it, "I'm sorry," he spoke as lightning raged through the skies. I woke with a start, frightened by the people I was so familiar with, but didn't know. Sally lay beside me with Thalia on the otherside, both of them still sound asleep. I walked out of the room to get a drink of water from the tap before sleepwalking down the hall and into a room, collapsing into a bed with a different warmth to it, and falling asleep to the smell of the sea.

I woke up from a blissfully dreamless sleep, to see Thalia, Luke, and Sally looking directly at me, Sally smiled her signature smile while Thalia showed a crooked grin, Luke looked angry and a little frustrated, his brotherly instinct kicking in, I looked down and nearly screamed, next to me was Percy, still sleeping soundly with a small drop of drool stuck to his bottom lip.

Third POV

Sally smiled in content when she saw her not so little boy lying in bed with his girlfriend, exactly like they had so many years ago, Percy's arm lay spread across the pillow with Annabeth curled up close to him, though this time there was no drop of drool on his lips, only a faint blush on his cheeks.

I know it's been a while since I've written but I have had a lack of ideas. This is for a self-proclaimed ten days of percabeth event going through their relationship throughout the years. My buddy snow tempest might also be doing this but I'll have to check with her. Again if you have any good fanfic ideas you want me to right, I am totally open to suggestions (unless their stupid). Also, bonus points to anyone who can guess the people in Annabeth's dream and why they're doing what they're doing. R&R
