The story starts on page 521 of the House of Hades (Spoiler Alert).

DISCLAIMER: I own PJO (evil laugh)... (waking up), sigh, just a dream, I don't own any of the PJO characters. I only own mine.

Dreams

Annabeth's Pov:

"You're Impossible!" He said.

"Love you too" I said.

Then I noticed that his expression changed. He became serious, with a stern look on his face. He took a step towards me and pushed me through the Doors of Death.

"Annabeth go. Save the world for me. Stop Gaia and I promise I will come back for you. And I will always love you"

"Percy NOOOOOOO!" .I screamed. And the elevator doors sealed.

I sat up on my bed, sweating, and panting. I looked at the clock to see that the time was 7:00 am. It has been five years since the second giant war. Five years since I last saw Percy. Since then I hadn't slept peacefully even for one night. Every day I woke up to the same nightmare.

I cried into my bed for a few minutes and then let out some wise words for Hera. I blamed it on her to get us involved in this mess in the first place and then I crept out of bed. After brushing, cursing Hera, bathing, cursing Gaia, dressing, cursing some other gods, eating, and praying for Percy, I finally got onto the bus to my office.

I'm just a regular architect in bright and sunny Houston, Texas. I got fed up with the gods and all their wars and quests. So when I was asked for my reward, I asked for Percy, but when Mom refused, I asked for us (me and Percy) to be left alone from all these quests. They agreed. So now I am just a normal mortal architect.

I heard a voice "Hey Annie". "Carly, DON'T call me Annie" I retorted. She laughed.

Carly was my best friend and colleague here in Houston, even though I met her only two years ago. She was a redhead. She was born and bought up here in Houston. Her parents died in a car crash four years ago and she works here to earn enough for herself and her younger half-brother Shawn, who was now in sixth grade.

"Hey. What happened? You look troubled" she asked in a concerned tone.

"Yeah, the nightmare's taking its toll on me", I replied

"The same one as yesterday?"

"It is always the same one." I sighed. Though I didn't tell her the truth that Percy's disappearance in Tartarus (For Zeus's sake, she's a mortal), she does know that it is about him and my last (painful) moments with him.

"Why don't you just move on?" she asked.

"I can't. He's just too close to me. I loved him too much." I replied with sad tone. "But I hope that I will find him again one day."

"But I still say you should move on. It is your choice." She replied.

Just then the door swung open. "Morning Carly, Annie." beamed a man's voice.

"I do not like to be called ANNIE" I growled. Carly giggled, while Matt continued with his morning speech, completely ignoring my reply "Have you finished the blueprints for the aquarium."

Matt was our boss. He was a very annoying creature who always loaded us with lots of work.

"They'll be done by evening." Carly replied.

"Good. Because the builders are coming tomorrow to start the construction." Matt replied. "I want it finalized by tonight. Cheerio." Then he turned to leave the room, but as he reached the door, he turned around and said "Annie, You are the main architect for the building. So you will work with builders until the building is finished. they will come tomorrow for the auction."

"AUCTION!?" we yelled. "What auction?"

"The two leading companies, The Chase enterprises and the The Richardson inc. offered to buy the aquarium. We decided to hold an auction for the building. The highest bidder gets the aquarium. Be ready Annie."

"STOP CALLING ME ANNIE!" I screamed as Matt shut the door. The rest of the day was uneventful.

I reached home by 8 in the night, ordered pizza and dozed off to sleep.

Little did I know that this aquarium would change my life in ways that I had never before imagined (I have a big imagination, being a demigod and a child of Athena). I just sighed and fell asleep, waiting to be ambushed by the same nightmare that haunted me every night.

This is my first fic. Please Review. I will appreciate it so much.
