Percy's defeated Gaea. Well, he stopped her from waking up, anyway. Whatever, same difference. Leo, Frank and the others are all still alive, unfortunately with the list ending at Annabeth. Why won't that bitch die? She doesn't deserve him.

Looks like Percy's going to bed. Good, that means Annabeth isn't going to be with him anymore. Actually, seems like everyone's going off, either to their cabins or to the Big House to prepare to head back for Camp Jupiter. Thank the gods they've decided to stop attacking, after Frank went and talked to them. But anyway, looks like Annabeth is alone now. Hmm. I'm curious.

I walk over to Annabeth. "Hey." She turns around, her hand at her dagger, but relaxes when she sees it's me. Good, that means she trusts me. Should make what I'm about to do easier. "Oh, Nico. Hey." She replies. Okay, got her attention. How to proceed?

"Annabeth, there's something I need to show you." I say. Come on, don't get suspicious. "It's urgent," I add as an afterthought. "Sure, what is it?" Good, she doesn't suspect a thing. I tell her that the clouds in the sky are acting rather weird, but she waves it away, saying that Zeus is probably in one of his moods. Of course, I reply that Zeus is still not feeling well after the identity crisis. Complete lie, but she doesn't need to know that.

"Okay, what is it you need to show me?" Brilliant, she's taken the bait. I took a little time, but I manage to convince her that you can't see it where we're standing and I have to take her to one of the skyscrapers in New York. At first she's reluctant, but thankfully she agrees in the end. I turn away so she doesn't see the gleam in my eyes. Phase one complete, now on to phase two.


I arrive at the MetLife building in New York, after having just shadow-traveled there with Annabeth. Gross. Still, I'm so close now, I can almost taste the victory. "See, it's right over there." I say, pointing my arm at a far off direction, one that I know you can't see from where we're standing. So, just like I expect, she says, "I can't see it." So I urge her to step forward a few steps, close to the edge of the tower Careful now, Annabeth…

I swear, she tripped. She tripped and fell over the edge, eyes, opening in shock and her mouth opening to scream but too shocked to utter a sound, falling down, down, down the 60 stories and splitting her head open on 45th street below. Crunch. Her body splatters everywhere, it's beautiful. Oh well, accidents do happen, and if I happen to benefit from them, all the more better. Turning around, I travel back to Camp Half-Blood, quite eager to tell Percy about what happened to her girlfriend. No, don't smile. Keep a straight face.
