So, hello! Here comes the usual... Disclaimer: I don't own any of the percy jackson stuff. *sobs*

The doors closed, shutting all the light out.

Annabeth reached around and grabbed Percy's hand.

He pulled her into a tight embrace, expecting something to happen. Several seconds passed. Slowly, a bright light filled the elevator. Relieved, he looked around, loosening his grip. Maybe Jason and the rest had managed to get to them after all. But then the light became too bright, it was unbearable. A tremor shook the walls, and they collapsed; the light fading again. His spirits sank again, it was too late for any help.

He looked around. He could see Annabeth clear as day, but surrounding them was a black void. They stood, or were they floating? He turned in a circle. Nothing. There was nothing here, just a giant black void.

He heard Annabeth's confused voice. "Now what?"

He shook his head. "You tell me, Wise girl."

She took a shaky breath. "I don't know. I have no idea where we are. Nobody knows what happens to the people stuck in between. I guess it's just… nothing."

"Nothing?" He asked. "I think I can deal with that, as long as I have you. Nothing is better than tartarus."

She laughed. "Oh, Seaweed brain." Her laughter soon turned to crying. She hugged him, sobbing into his shirt.

He tried to comfort her, shedding tears as well. They had been through so much these past days, and their entire life, it seemed like a never ending battle. Annabeth pulled away suddenly, fire in her eyes. She looked around angrily.

"There has to be a way out!" She said, and started to run. Percy couldn't even tell if she was running straight, or up or even down. It was just a huge void.

"TARTARUS!" She screamed. "LET US OUT! ZEUS! ATHENA! MOM!" She shouted helplessly, her body shaking.

"Annabeth." Percy said gently, placing a hand on her shoulder. "It's no use. No one can hear us."

"NO!" She moved away from him. "I refuse to let us end like this!" She laughed bitterly. "Hero of Olympus, son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson and daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase, died of old age after getting caught in a void at age 17. Oh, but no ONE WILL EVER KNOW!" She sobbed again, her emotions spiraling out of control.

He gently wrapped his arms around her, and she pulled him closer.

Exhausted, she looked up at him. "What about the war with Gaia? And Frank, Hazel, Leo, Piper, Jason and Nico? What about the camps? I'm scared, seaweed brain."

He kissed her. "Me too, Wise girl. But I've got you, don't worry. I love you."

They both fell asleep.

When they woke up, they both realized that they had a dreamless sleep.

"Morning." He said.

She raised an eyebrow. "Is it?" She gestured around. Right, the giant void thingy again.

He sighed. "Do you ever remember reading about something like this? Cause let's face it, I doubt there's a way out."

"Aren't you ever so positive about this! Well…" She thought for a while. "No. I don't remember reading about something like this. But… there was this one thing, though."

"Yes, yes, anything!" He said.

"I have no idea if this is even remotely connected. There was a story, where some demigod trapped in a prison. She had nowhere to go, but after a while, she started imagining things. Small things, at first. But then, the more she did, the thing slowly started becoming real." She explained.

Percy scratched his head. "So… we just imagine stuff, and we get it?"

"Maybe?" She said uncertainly.

He was really hungry. Maybe he could imagine some food. If the story was anything like this. He closed his eyes and started thinking about this amazing pizza, with so much cheese, just melting and he could practically smell it.

Annabeth gasped. He opened his eyes, and he actually saw a giant pizza in front of him.

"Oh, wow." He grabbed a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, before his girlfriend could go all Athena on him and warn him that it might be poisoned. He was hungry, damnit!

She just shrugged and grabbed a piece herself.

"Do you think we should conjure up some other stuff?" He asked.

She chewed thoughtfully. "Not sure. Don't you think we might be messing with this thing if we do?" She gestured around.

He snorted. "Yeah, I doubt it could get more messed up than right now. The worst we could do is make it un-void-y."

She laughed. It felt like she hadn't done that in ages. Her laughter proved to be infectious, and soon, they were both doubled over with laughter.

"Okay, seriously. What are we gonna do?" Percy wiped a few tears away, still grinning.

She looked around. "A bed, maybe?"

His eyebrows shot up.

"Beds! I meant beds! Plural! To sleep!" She said, blushing.

He smirked. "Uh huh, right."

"NOT LIKE THAT! Shut up!" She screeched, punching his shoulder. He chuckled.

She closed her eyes and concentrated. She started with a door leading into a hallway, letting her imagination run free. This was the dream of every architect, just imagining a house and it was there. Next came the bathroom, plus a bedroom, ah, two bedrooms, or maybe just one, argh! Anyway… now a kitchen with a dining table and a living room… She designed each room separately, taking her time. Finally, she created a garden around the house, letting the grass go on for miles. At least they would have a proper floor. She added a stone path, and on second thought, a fountain as well.

She finally opened her eyes, staring at the house in front of her. It was beautiful. Her boyfriend stood next to her, gaping.

She chuckled. "Well, you might be a mini-sea god, but the gold-fish look doesn't suit you, seaweed brain."

He laughed, throwing an arm around her shoulders. They walked inside. She gave him a quick tour of the place, and they sat down on the sofa.

"So…" She started.

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly." He commented.

"So, we try to look for a way back home. But we also just live like we normally would. You know, train, study, read, do anything to pass the time until we can get out." She said.

"We will find a way." He promised.

She nodded. "I hope so."

Sooo, what do you think? Good, Bad? (But don't be mean) Please tell meee! :D
