POV Annabeth

Darkness engulfed her as they fell towards the pit. Tartarus; the place so scary not even the almighty gods dared to go. She still held Percy's hand. It was all she had; her last hope. After what seemed like an eternity they hit the icy ground. Annabeth tried to land on her feet, forgetting about her ankle, but ended up making the same mistake and crumbled to the ground. Her vision blurred. No, she scolded herself, you can't black out. So she looked up hoping to see the face of her wonderful boyfriend, but saw only the unforgiving darkness of the cavern. She couldn't see a thing and she had a feeling that her eyes would never adjust. It was like the Weasley twins had made a stop here with their Peruvian Darkness Powder.

"Percy," she whispered.

"I'm right behind you," he laughed.

She wanted to slap him and kiss him. How could he be laughing? They just feel into Tartarus where all of their past enemies were. Annabeth knew for a fact that these monsters would not just welcome them with open arms. She turned around. He had the most stupid grin on his face.

"Percy," she quivered. She looked into those sea green eyes. They looked so brave and confident. Why couldn't she be like that? Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill over at the slightest movement. His goofy smile faded as he pulled her into a hug. That was when she lost it. Annabeth full-on sobbed into her boyfriend's chest. He didn't complain he just held her while she shuddered in the dark. When she finally stopped crying he didn't let go. It was nice. It would have been nicer if they weren't most likely going to die but it was still nice. After a while he let go.

"I'm sorry….." she started, "It's just-"

"Annabeth don't be. I know you're scared, so am I. But I'm alright as long as we're together."

She wanted to cry all over again. They weren't okay! They were going to die! And Percy…. he shouldn't have done what he did: fall with her. He didn't deserve this death sentence. She had all these mixed up feelings and thoughts going on. She didn't know what to do. Finally she opted on keeping Percy oblivious to her doubts, as usual.

"Alright Seaweed Brain," she smirked.

"Are you ever going to stop calling me that? Because there are so many other options!" They both cracked up. Annabeth however, quickly fell silent.

"Do you hear that?" she asked.

He stopped laughing too, "What?"

She tried to get up but the strain on her ankle was too much. After a fair amount of cursing in Ancient Greek she fell back down.

Percy immediately began looking for some ambrosia and nectar. Stupid ankle she thought. The noise she heard earlier was still ringing in her ears. It was getting louder.

"Percy," she said nervously.

He looked up and saw their current threat.

Arachne had escaped her trap.
