READ AUTHOR'S NOTE

AN: Helloski friends. Let me introduce myself. I am the new owner of Awakened. Don't jump to conclusions and think that I stole the story. Due to the fact that freezingpizza14 is taking a break from writing because she is swamped with homework and she still wishes to continue this particular story she announced on her other story, Just One Night, that she would give anybody willing, the story. I volunteered to take this story upon myself. I, as well, am swamped with homework most of the time, but I tend to precrastinate before I actually start my homework and will write the story during that time.

The first two chapters are exactly the same as the ones on freezingpizza14's profile. I continued the story with my own ideas. Freezingpizza14 told me how they wanted to continue the story. I will take those ideas into consideration and combine them with my own ideas.

Enjoy if this is your first time reading!^^

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own PJO, just the characters that I make later in the story.

Awakened

It's been two weeks since Percy returned from the dead. Percy now eighteen, he, Annabeth, the Greeks, and the Romans are in Greece, fighting Gaea's army before Gaea fully wakes and takes over the world. Now, with Percy back, they stand a fair chance of winning. That is, of course, if the gods are willing to help. But, of course, when saving the world from the bad guys and an evil sleeping goddess, there's always a sacrifice to be made.

Percy did warn you that the life of a demigod was never easy.

*Introduction*

(Chiron's 3rd person POV)

*Past time, during The Last Olympian, after Percy and Annabeth start dating*

Chiron watched as Percy raced Annabeth on the beach. The sun was orange and setting on the horizon behind a thin layer of clouds.

Thalia and Grover stood beside him, silently watching.

Annabeth was laughing as she was running. Percy was grinning while he raced after her, trying to catch up to her. Annabeth slowed to look over her shoulder just in time for Percy to catch her and wrap his arms around her, holding her tightly.

Annabeth was still laughing as Percy playfully flopped down into the water with her tightly in his arms.

Chiron laughed softly.

"A sight I thought I'd never see," Thalia mused.

"But everyone knew it was going to happen sometime," Grover added.

"As did I," Chiron said.

Annabeth had just tackled Percy - making them both fall back into the water - when the sun dissapeared behind the clouds.

*Chapter 1*

(Percy's 3rd person POV)

*Present day*

The sky was slowly turning dark and gray. The sea waves crashed against the shore as more and more monsters rose from the earth.

Percy was fighting off any monsters that came at him. He sliced, dodged, and rolled, turning the monsters into dust and moving on to the next one, mostly making sure that none of the monsters got past him and attacked Annabeth from behind.

Leo, Piper, and Jason, meanwhile, were fighting Enceladus, but the more they fought him, the more outraged he became, and more monsters rose, too.

"Fools!" Porphyrion bellowed, his loud voice booming and echoeing despite the loud wind. He raised his hand, and over a hundred more giants rose. "I am the giant king! The demigods will die, and when Lady Gaea awakes, we will rule the world! The gods will fall, and we will throw them in Tartarus where they belong! This age will be the age of chaos!"

Percy cursed in Greek. He looked around.

Annabeth was jumping the giants from behind, invisible, and stabbing them with her knife. Jason was holding off Enceladus while Leo and Piper fought against the group of monsters surrounding them. The Greeks and the Romans were fighting too, trying to vaporize as many monsters as they could, but it wasn't enough.

As if reading his mind, Porphyrion laughed loudy, even his laugh cold and evil. "Where are the gods, demigod? They do not care for you. They abandoned you to save themselves. They-"

As if on cue, the sky rumbled and thunder boomed. A light as bright as the sun appeared, and Percy had to cover his eyes. When he looked, Apollo was standing in his sun chariot, bow in hand.

"Did someone call for a handsome sun god?"

"Bah! We can not be beaten by merely one-" Porphyrion started, but he didn't get to finish.

Everyone had to cover their eyes as a blinding light lit up the darkening sky. One by one, slowly, the gods materialized.

"They came," Annabeth breathed, standing beside Percy. He squeezed her hand.

"NO!" Porphyrion yelled. He started to make more giants rise, but Zeus threw his lightning bolt, and the impact was so powerful that the earth rumbled.

The ground split open, and a skeleton army rose, at least a hundred of them.

Porphyrion grit his teeth. "A bunch of puny skeletons will not stop me, Hades!"

The monsters kept attacking. Percy slashed at a snarling Hellhound, and it crumpled to dust. The monsters kept coming back as fast as they were slicing them, but Percy quickly realized the problem.

"With us here, the gods can't show their true forms and just vaporize them," Annabeth said, as if reading his mind. "And no matter what, they keep coming back."

"I know," Percy said. "What are we going to do?"

Annabeth met his eyes, and Percy saw that her face was pale. She was as scared as he was.

"I want to spend as much time as I can with you," she said softly.

He kissed her. Back to back, free hands tightly intwined together, they fought.

It had started to rain.

As the fall of the rain began to harden, with only who knows how much time left he had left with Annabeth, he made a quick decision.

Kicking back a drachenae and stabbing her, he turned to Annabeth.

"Marry me," he told her.

"What?" Annabeth's eyes widened.

"Marry me," he repeated, breathless.

Mouth gaping open, Annabeth looked around. Chiron was a few feet away, calming shooting monsters one by one with arrows and not missing a single one.

"Chiron!" she yelled. "Marry us!"

Percy squeezed her hand again.

Chiron looked at them. "I can't at the moment, child."

"Chiron, please!" Annabeth yelled. "We might not have much time left."

Chiron looked from her to Percy, then at their intwined hands. He shot a giant in the nose, and the giant howled and fell back.

"Alright," he finally said. He dropped his bow but pulled his sword to fight with instead. He put a hand to his heart.

"We are gathered here today to join and bond these two together. Do you, Perseus Jackson-" He cut a giant in the stomach "take Annabeth Chase-"

Percy hit a giant in the head with his sword.

"-to be your wife?" Chiron finished.

"I do!" Percy yelled, cutting a giant's arm off. But as he watched, another slowly replaced it. The giant suddenly shot up into the air, and at first Percy thought that they were lifting into the air, but they were growing bigger and taller.

"Gaea!" Annabeth said. "She's waking up, getting stronger!"

"Do you, Annabeth Chase, take Percy to be your husband-" A giant grabbed Chiron, but with one swing of the sword, he was free "-in sickness and in health?"

"I do!" she said, stabbing a giant in the eye.

"Then I now pronounce you man and wife! You may now kiss-" Chiron was suddenly swarmed by monsters. A part of Percy wondered how the drachenae's flaming hair didn't fizzle out in the rain.

"You may kiss-" Chiron started, but a hellhound lunged at him. He stabbed it in the shoulder, and it vaporized with a surprised yelp.

"Just kiss!" he yelled.

They were surrounded by over fourty monsters, but Percy ignored them.

He grabbed Annabeth and kiss her.

For a moment, for a heartbeat, time seemed to stop. Percy's head was spinning, his palms slightly tinged with sweat despite the rain. Because he was nervously happy.

And then everything caught on fire.

AN: See, I wasn't lying. The exact same chapter, but on my profile. Byeski!
