I do not own Percy Jackson. Sara is Percy's sister. I hope you enjoy. Please review!
Annabeth had just woken up in the middle of the night and was about to fall asleep again when she smelled smoke. She got up and checked the door handle. It was hot. That meant that there was a fire outside. She shoved Percy.
"Fire!' She screamed. "Fire!"
Percy woke up with a jolt.
"What?" He asked, still half-asleep. "Fire?"
Annabeth ignored him. She went over to the crib. Her little girl was still sound asleep. Sally had offered to keep the baby in her room so that Annabeth and Percy could get some sleep. Annabeth had politely declined the offer. Now she thanked the gods she did. She picked up her baby and the baby woke with a start. She immediately started to wail. She shoved Percy again; he had fallen back asleep.
"Wake up!" She exclaimed. "There's a fire!"
This time, he woke up completely.
"Fire?" He asked.
He rushed out of bed.
"Is Leah okay?" Percy asked, opening up a window.
"She's fine," Annabeth replied, "Please tell me that I'm remembering wrong and the fire escape isn't being repaired."
"I would," He began, looking out the window. "But I'd be lying."
Annabeth's heart sank. Was there any way out? Suddenly, she had a terrible thought.
"Percy!" She exclaimed. "What about your mom and Paul and Sara? Will they be okay?"
"I'll worry about that," He told her. "First, you and Leah get out of here. Then I'll go and get them."
Annabeth climbed out of the window onto the fire escape landing. Percy handed her Leah, then rushed through the door. There was no way down to safety. The fire escape was still being repaired and they were three stories up. Their only hope was to jump. Annabeth knew that while she might die if she jumped, Leah might live if she cushioned the blow. She couldn't be certain of that though. She prayed to all the gods, especially Athena and Poseidon.
"Please." She prayed. "Please let my daughter be safe. I don't care if I die. Just let my daughter be safe."
Suddenly, Poseidon appeared on the landing.
"Hand me my granddaughter," He told Annabeth.
She did so.
"I'll take you too," Poseidon said.
Annabeth refused.
"I have to go help Percy save Sally, Paul, and Sara," She told him, "Wait for us."
She climbed back through the window and charged through the door.
Poseidon waited. In a few minutes, the apartment went up in flames.
"No!" He screamed.
But it was too late. Undoubtedly, everyone in that apartment was dead. He immediately teleported to the safest place he could think of. When he looked around him, he saw a beautiful beach and a garden. He also spotted a girl coming out of a cave.
"Calypso," He said, his eyes filled with tears, "I need you to take this baby."
