Summary: Darkness, Betrayal, Pain, Love and Confusion, these are all things that a once strong hero experienced at the hands of the least likely of people.

(Percy's POV)
Hi I'm Perseus Jackson. Son of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. Saviour of Olympus. Destroyer of pretty much ever monster know in Greek mythology. Boyfriend of Annabeth Chase and most hated of the Fates. Why you may ask am I the most hated of the Fates well for starters I have had to be fighting for survival of humanity since I was 12 and now I am currently falling into the deepest, darkest part of Hell with my injured girlfriend. It is somewhat hard to believe that the Fates are on my side when my entire life has been a battlefield. Anyways back to the part where a giant spider lady pulled Annabeth and I down into the dark hell hole. We had been in Rome on the quest to shut the doors of death when Annabeth's phsyco mom Athena decided that Annabeth needed to go retrieve her gigantic action figure, called the Athena Parathions, all on her own. So Annabeth had followed something called the Mark of Athena to find her mom's statue while the rest of the quest continue with the quest to the doors of death. Still wondering how we ended up falling into Tartarus? Well at the end of Annabeth's mini quest she ran into the mother of all spiders...Arachne. The rest of the quest ended up at the same spot due to our awesome satyr friend Coach Hedge and "Captain" Leo a son of Hephaestus. So we reached Annabeth who had managed to get the jumbo spider lady trapped in her own web. They were standing on a floor that looked to be held together by thin metallic strands that went everywhere. It made me nervous looking at the ground as it looked as if it could collapse any second but all those thoughts got pushed aside by hearing my wisegirl's voice. I jumped out of the Argo II making sure to watch we're I stepped and ran over to the one person I loved with all my heart. Annabeth didn't look very good ,not in a sense of beauty as she's more beautiful than Aphrodite (cue thunder) but she looked sickly and in pain. I looked and saw a make shift splint on her ankle and decided we needed to get her out ASAP! The quest started securing Athena's statue. I reached Annabeth immediately embracing her in a hug. I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to curl up in a corner and cry her eyes out from fear of everything she has had to encounter such as ugly jumbo spiders. I just held her telling her that once we secured the statue we would get back on the Argo II and leave this place. Just as the quest finished securing the Athena Parathions the ground started to shake and give way. We ran for the Argo II hoping to reach it before the floor collapsed. As we were almost to the grand ship Annabeth got pulled back by thin metallic strands that led down into a pit of blackness. I could hear the cries if Arachne saying that if she went down then so was Annabeth. I grabbed hold of her while trying to pull her away from the crevice but I started getting pulled along as well. Annabeth had her knife out trying to hack away at the strings but she wasn't getting very far as it seemed to be indestructible and she was in so much pain from her ankle that it was hard to keep from passing out. She looked at me with those stormy eyes and said "Percy I love you but you have to let me go"
Through clenched teeth I replied " never again will I let you go". At this point we were both hanging over the edge and we're only being held by my one hand (the other is holding Annabeth) on the edge. I yelled up to Nico ,who had ran to the crevice in hopes of helping us but his arm was just out of reach, and said "promise me that you will guide the quest to the doors of death" he nodded "we will meet you there". With that I looked back at the pained yet beautiful face of my Wisegirl and let go of the edge. In that moment I didn't hear the cries of my friends from the quest or the crumbling floor but all I could hear was our heart beats pounding in time with the other. I held her close as we fell to our possible doom but all I could think was that we could make it through this.
"As long as we are together". I said then all went black.
