A/N: Okay, I know this might not be the first story based on this part of The Battle of the Labyrinth, but I wanted to make my version. Oh, and I know that you people think I'm horrible...well too bad!! That's for all you people who gave me unfriendly reviews on my other FanFic: ChatRoom
This is in Annabeth's POV...
Percy and I were talking about the telekhines.
"They were practicing dark magic," I was telling him. "I don't know what, exactly, but Zeus banished them to Tartarus."
"With Kronos," he added.
I nodded slowly. "We
have to get out--"
But then, the doors opened and a whole mass of telekhines tumbled in. They were falling over each other, as if they couldn't walk right.
"Put your cap back on," Percy told me. "Get out!"
"What?" I screamed. I wan't going to abandon Percy, especially since he might get himself killed without me. What was I going to do? As much as the prophecy scared me, Percy may not be part of it at all. "No! I'm not leaving you."
"I've got a plan. I'll distract them. You can use the metal spider--maybe it'll lead you back to Hephaestus. You have to tell him what's going on." He gave me a stern look.
"But you'll be killed!" I hoped Percy couldn't hear the strained panic in my voice.
"I'll be fine," he assured me. "Besides, we've got no choice."
I stared at him. How could be so stupid? I mean, what good will it do if we have to split up, again! But then, I realized he was right. There's was no other option. I hope he'll be okay. Maybe I could just give him one little thing. Just for luck...
"Be careful, Seaweed Brain." I put on my cap and followed the metal spider back into the Labyrinth.
So yeah, I kissed him. Big deal. It was just a touch of our lips that only lasted 5 seconds. It's not like I'd die to relive that moment. But still, it made me happy to know that he'd risk his life to make sure I was out of danger. It was sweet.
I kept my eye on the spider so I wouldn't lose it too easily. While walking through the Labyrinth, something kept crossing my mind; the works of the Oracle: And lose a love to worse than death.
Oh gods, please let him make it.
Okay, yes, it was short and sucky. But, if you liked it, maybe you can request a page in any Percy Jackson book and I'll try and put it in Annabeth's POV. Just make sure she was mentioned on the page.
