Takes place TLO when Percy gives Luke the knife.
Words between ' ' and in italics is speaking to your mind.
Prologue
Percy hesitated, then gave Luke the knife. He now stood before him, weaponless. Luke took the knife and undid a clasp on his armor, revealing his armpit. Then he stabbed himself there.
Luke howled his eyes glowing gold. Light expanded and decreased as if holding back. 'You've won this time, but you won't the second', a voice hissed in Percy's ear. Then sand came from Luke. It flew right through Percy just as the light exploded everywhere.
When it faded, Luke was on the ground blood seeping from his armpit. "Good blade," he gasped. Annabeth rushed over toward him. They started talking as Luke died. "Did you love me?" he asked her.
Annabeth looked around. Percy was gone. "I loved you like a brother," Luke nodded and closed his eyes. Then the gods entered in battle armor.
..oo0)*(0oo..
The gods sat in their thrones. Then they awarded Annabeth, Thalia, Grover, and Tyson. "PERCY JACKSON," Poseidon announced. There was silence. No one walked over.
Timidly Annabeth said, "No one has seen Percy since Kronus was defeated." The gods waited a few more minutes and still no one approached.
"If you see Percy," Zeus said, "Tell him to go to Olympus,"
..oo0)*(0oo..
Annabeth sighed. There was a party at Olympus and now it was night and still Percy wasn't found. The campfire turned navy-blue to her mood since there was no one else there.
'Annabeth,' Annabeth jumped. She'd heard a voice. In her head.
'Annabeth,' it repeated. Annabeth looked around and turned to a seat. There was water forming. Soon it formed a shape. A very familiar shape.
"W-w-water-boy?" Annabeth stuttered.
Water-boy smiled, 'No, Percy'
..oo0)*(0oo..
"How?" she asked. Then "Perceus Jackson, where have you been?"
'I don't know,' Percy said, 'I gave Luke the knife and he stabbed his Achilles spot. Next thing I know I'm Water-boy again.' Percy didn't tell her about the voice saying how he wasn't going to win again, whatever that meant.
'As soon as I was Water-boy, I rushed over to the fountain and melted into it. I guess I was embarrassed a little to be in this form.'
"Oh, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth sighed, "We have to tell Chiron,"
'No, we tell anyone. Just say I went away on vacation or something. I'll love in the lake.'
Annabeth thought for a moment. "Fine, but when you get in trouble we're telling the whole camp, deal?"
'Deal,'
..oo0)*(0oo..
((A/N This is now two months later))
Annabeth awoke early like always. Early being five a.m. She got ready for the day like she did every day. Then she walked over to the the beach. Ever since Percy had become Water-boy again he'd promise to live in the ocean and see her every morning. As promised, she'd told the camp he'd wanted to spend some time away from camp and with his mom, but she didn't know how long that lie would last.
When she reached to lake she shouted: "Water-boy!" Usually the water before her would glow in at the most a minute. The glowing water would gurgle and rise and form Water-boy. Then they'd talk, but there was something wrong this time...
Annabeth tried again when Water-boy didn't come out. "Water-boy! C'mon, you promised to see me everymoring!" she grew deperate. Fear filled her. Annabeth didn't care what he thought after fifteen minutes. Water-boy was missing.
Annabeth ran to the Big House. She flung the door open. It was now six a.m. Chiron was getting ready for the day and was surprised seeing Annabeth at the doorway, panting. "He's missing!" she shouted frantically.
"Annabeth, calm down!" Chiron ordered. "Who'd missing?"
"Water-boy!"
"Wha- who's Water-boy?" Chiron sputtered, "You mean Percy?"
"Yes!" Then Annabeth explained. How Percy was no back to Water-boy and had been living in the ocean. Everything and by the time she was done she was crying. "I'm worried. He's only water!"
Chiron had an idea of what had happened. "This is the work of the gods,"
