3rd Person POV:

Annabeth's hair was matted she was covered in her own blood, cobwebs, and monster dust, but to Percy she'd never looked more beautiful. She looked like a goddess, like her mother and Aphrodite combined. She leaned all her weight on him, unable to stand, and together they limped on. Both of them were spent, they hadn't eaten or slept in ages...well just a long time. Everyone knows time is different in magical places, but here time was just a four letter word here. One with no meaning, simply a word there to take up space. Time meant nothing them, merely a forgotten concept. So, they limped on and prayed they would survive. Each of them praying for the other's safety.

"Percy," Annabeth wheezed, "What's that?" She weakly lifted her arm and pointed to the horizon.

It looked to be a massive door, "The doors of death!" They both burst out overjoyed at the sight. And they were open.

"They're still open! Annabeth, let me carry you!" Percy pleaded.

"Noo I'm fine!" She said desperation in her voice.

"Annabeth, my love, please don't let your pride get in the way! Please let me take you." His eyes pleaded.

Annabeth was broken, and she knew it. That is the only way she ever agreed to it. She nodded silent tears spilling down her face.

Percy wordlessly swept her off her feet, under different circumstances she would have slapped him on the arm, then demand to be let down. Then she'd probably punch him till he released her, but not today...today she put her pride away and let him pick her up.

She laid her head in the crook of his neck and smelt his blood. He didn't look any better than her his hair was just as matted his cloths just as torn. And to Annabeth he hadn't looked more handsome. "I love you," She whispered. "You know that right Seaweed brain?"

"Why of course, Wise Girl, and I love you," he held her and walked forward.

Annabeth was shivering, she was sick and probably had an infected ankle. Percy had never been more scared for her in his entire life. He had never been more terrified she wouldn't make it, and that is saying a lot. "Annabeth?"

She groaned, "Mmmm."

"When we get out of here I want to Marry you, a proper wedding, and when we leave I'm gonna get you a proper ring and propose on one knee like I should, and ask you father for permission, but for now. Annabeth Chase, will you Marry me?"

She laughed weakly, "But of course Seaweed Brain!"

He leaned down and kissed her. He looked ahead, there was a battle raging.

"It looks like a battle," Percy cursed in ancient greek, "I don't have the strength to fight a battle. Neither do you!"

"Well I guess we'll have too."

And they surged forward.

They were only 20 feet away now. Looking out above the insanity. "Percy put me down and fight. I'll be fine."

Annabeth knew it was a lie, but she needed him to go fight. They needed every demigod they could get. She looked out and noticed something unexpected Roman and Greek demigods fight, side-by-side.

"Percy take this," she weakly reached for the very last of her ambrosia.

"You had this the entire time!?" Percy screamed. "You need to use it. Regain some of your strength!"

"No. You are going into battle. You need to use it. I'll be fine! Just promise me this." She paused until he nodded weakly. "Promise me you'll come back to me."

Percy nodded. He gave in and ate the ambrosia. "I promise Wise Girl. I will always come back to you."

And they shared a kiss right before Percy ran off to battle.

So what did you guys think? This is my first fan-fic and I want to know...Is it any good? Please rate and review! And there are probably some spelling/grammar errors! I'm not the best and I don't have anyone to proofread it for me, so please don't hate it just for that. :) I promise I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I can! :-D Thanks for reading! :)
