I was like, hey I'm bored, so fanfic time! I know Percabeth never breaks up, but I need that for the plot. It's important.

Annabeth's POV

I sunk into the chair once again as I tried to get myself to type the words onto the computer. I don't know what to write. Yet knowing him, he's probably forgotten me. Well, I have to try.

Right? Piper said I should. She said she did the same thing after not seeing Jason for almost a decade and now she had a kid! Well, I have a kid too.

But I'm raising her on my own.

Sure, Piper, Thalia, Nico, and the rest of the crew come and help sometimes, but usually it's just me. And my 1 year old daughter.

Katoptris. Katoptris Riptide Chase. Because she's an exact mirror image of her father.

I keep her with me all the time. She's the thing I have to remind me he's not dead. Her black hair, her sea green eyes, and even her voice are a constant reminder that he's out there.

I blink back tears as the best thing I can come up with comes to my mind. I start typing it in as the first of a river streams down my cheek.

I miss you.

I love you.

Where are you? I need you. Katoptris needs you. Come back.

Please Percy. There's no time. It's now or never.

-Annabeth Chase

I pressed the send button and closed my eyes to try and get the tears from not overflowing to give me another mental breakdown. Then the doorbell rang and Katoptris woke and started crying. I grabbed her from the crib, kissed her on her forehead, and opened the door.

"Hey Annabeth," Nico stood at the doorway holding a small package.

"Hello Nico. Where's Evelyn? Did it not work out?" Nico had started dating Evelyn Forbes, a daughter of Iris who had somehow made him smile. I don't know how, but she managed it. Ever since Hades… well, he hasn't been exactly Mr. Chirpy. At least, not as chirpy as before.

If he ever was.

"Well…. I found her cheating on my with some Ares kid," he said with that guilty look.

"And…" I raised my eyebrows, expecting something he had done too much of since he joined that site.

"I would've sent him to Hades if he wasn't… you know," he said sheepishly. I laughed at him and Katoptris gurgled. I looked down at one of the only things that made me happy. She was my pride and joy. The only thing here that I could love.

"Nico, I was wondering. If the Big Three was in hiding, what if Percy is with them," I said, drifting off to the mention of my sort of boyfriend. Katoptris wiggled her arms in the air and gurgled again. I sighed as I gazed into her sea colored eyes.

"Thalia and I were thinking that too," he said. His eyes slightly darkened and he fiddled with his skull ring. His cousins and I were the closest to him and were especially touchy about that subject. We've been trying to block out Katoptris and me's smell from monsters since the camp shut down after the Big Three were captured or hiding. I still see some friends like the Stolls and Katie (who is now a Stoll) (A/N: TRATIE!), sometimes Clarisse, Jason and Leo as well. Frank and Hazel dropped by three months ago as well. But mostly he and Thalia. We talked for a bit and then he left. I set Katopris down and sang her a lullaby I wrote myself.

(flashes between Percy and Annabeth singing this, Annabeth to Katopris and Percy to himself. Percy is in shackles in a cave) (A/N: You'll see why in a minute)

"This game we play is not to be forgotten.

The rules are spinning upside down.

What love was made forgotten.

For love is I know.

But time will tell my fate again.

I think of you in an empty place.

Lost and cold, gone away.

World is crumbling, time and time again I think of you.

Gone the life I knew.

What did I do to start this war?

What was stopped I'll never know.

But what becomes a blizzard in the snow.

Crept through my life like a north wind blows.

The things I did.

What could I have said?

World is crumbling.

Time and time again."

Percy's POV

I sat with my knees together, my arms across my knees and my head buried. By the time I finished, I lifted my head up and thought of Annabeth.

Again.

I had deserted her. I was weak. The one thing I truly loved was taken away by a wrong step. I was foolish to think I could get away from the hands I was captured by now.

I had left the ones who needed me most. I'm a stupid, selfish, impulsive fool.

If I could contact her, I would.

But I must go now.

There's no time!

And then my captor stepped around the corner.

Am I doing good? No flaming please!
