Annabeth's POV

We walked towards each other, as if everything was in slow motion. Which it isn't. I mean, it's impossible for things to go in slow motion, it must be an illusion of my head.

"But… you said…" He started, I smiled and laughed.

"Seaweed Brain, I lied. I wanted to surprise you. My dad's on a business trip and he wanted me to come. He said, if I like it here, I could stay. And besides, I wouldn't miss a reunion that I planned myself!" I explained,

"But Amy…"

"Was me. Your mom was about to say my name when I stopped her and she said Amy instead. There is no Amy." I said, "That was just me."

"She knew?!" I nodded.

"She helped. In fact, it was her idea for the reunion, I just put it into action with Piper." I smiled, gratefully at her. She gave me a colour palette yesterday, and I drew an idea for the décor, and we used our old things we found in the attic to make it into this.

"You are the best!" He said, hugging me and twirling me around. I smiled.

"Put me down, Seaweed Brain!" I said, laughing a little. And he put me down. Very unlike me to be this lovey-dovey, but I haven't seen him in so long. Not long after, we all headed to the mess hall. And to all the campers' surprises, including me, we all saw a stage and a karaoke machine.

"Did you set this up?" Percy asked me,

"No. And that's what scares me." I said, I looked at Piper, she shook her head and shrugged at me. What in Hades' name is going on? And on the stage appeared a pink puff of smoke. I think I figured it out. Aphrodite.

"Hello, half-bloods!" She greeted, and we all looked at her, confused and bowed our heads a little. "Now, I set this stage up, seeing as there's a bunch of love going on. With the reunited couples." She said looking at Percy and I, Frank and Hazel, and Jason and Piper. "This stage will be for performers, whom I will pick from the couples. And to their significant others, they will basically see a music video containing the scenes of their lives together. All of these scenes will be related to the song." She explained. "And these scenes maybe from the future or the past."

All of our eyes widened from the couples.

"First up…" I was a horrible singer. I didn't need to be Athena's daughter for that. "Piper McLean." We clapped, and I let out a sigh of relief. She sang: Stay My Baby by: Miranda Cosgrove Courtesy of Aphrodite. And it was like this for a while. Until halfway through she said:

"Now, for the next people I will call, you can do duets, although. One of you will have sing twice and the music video will be shown to everyone." She said. I mentally cursed in Greek.

"Next up is. Percy Jackson!" She said, next to me, he sighed and stood up. His hand was trembling in mine. I didn't want him to do what he was forced to so I stood up as well.

"As long as we're together." I said, repeating one of the words he once told me not so long ago. He smiled.

"You don't have to." He offered, I smiled at him. He was selfless that way.

"Well, I'm not letting you go do something you don't want to alone." We both got on the stage. I didn't care that there would be a music video right behind us, being shown to everyone. We sang: Two is Better than One by: Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift. I'd be singing Taylor's part, obviously. We started sitting down, just focusing on each other's eyes, and I have no idea how we ended up standing close and holding hands. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Once we stepped away and let go of our hands Aphrodite said:

"Who will sing again?" She asked, I looked at him, just as he was about to volunteer, I answered.

"I will." Percy looked at me. "Really, you did all the singing in the last song, anyways."

"I'll choose the song." Aphrodite said, that shocked me. She gave me a guitar. I looked at her.

"Guitar? But I haven't played in ages!" I said,

"This is the first song you learned I think you'll know." She said, I gulped and looked at the one hundred people looking at me. I let out a shaky breath. I put on the strap and started playing. I knew exactly what song she was talking about.

"The way you look, the way you laugh, the way you love with all you have, there ain't nothin' about you that don't do somethin' for me." I began. I sang the introduction. Then when the drums and electric guitar came in, I saw Thalia with me playing the electric guitar, I looked at her like: You know how to play? She shrugged. I rolled my eyes.

Once the song ended, I hugged her. "Thank you." I whispered. And I got down from the stage, next to Percy.

"I didn't know you can sing." He said,

"I can't."

"Yes, you can."

"No, I can't. I can hold a few decent notes, but I don't think I can sing." Suddenly, something happened to the barrier. It sounded like it was coming from the outside. I looked around, doesn't seem like anyone noticed. I looked at Percy. "Stay here, I'll be right back." I said, and ran outside to the entrance of the barrier. And there I saw Arachne. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?!" I said,

"One would think." She said, and bumped the barrier.

"Well, you can't get through."

"You can't leave. Not until you come with me." She said, normally I'd call for someone when it came to spiders, but I didn't want to interrupt their entertainment. But I was deadly afraid of spiders. But then again, better me than them. I gulped and took my dagger out.

"Give me your best shot."

"I intend to." She said and I stepped out. I sliced her but she didn't die disintegrate like she was supposed to. Instead more spiders came out.

"Oh my gods." I said, climbing onto a not-so-long tree and I jumped into the barrier. I ran to the mess hall. Aphrodite was saying something, when I came up to her and asked her if I could borrow the microphone. She nodded.

"Alright, we have kind of a small problem outside the barrier. And I have to ask the Athena's cabin to get into their cabins, I'm pretty sure you'd want to stay out of this one. Everyone else, I hope you're not in a dress because it's going to be a messy job, out. Now." I said, the Athena cabin did as I commanded, but I didn't. I was going to finish this. I followed everyone out to the barrier.

"Woah." I hear people say.

"Yeah. That's a ton of spiders, isn't it?" I said, I was about to step out when Percy grabbed my arm.

"Are you sure you want to go out there?" He warned, I knew why he would ask, it was pretty sweet but I can take care of myself.

"I am. I want to help."

"I know you do but you really don't need to." He said, and the others nodded.

This is a diversion. I heard a voice in my head.

"I'll compromise. You fight the spiders and I'll see what else is going on." I said,

"What else if going on? What are you talking about?"

"Bring me the girl." Arachne said.

"I have a feeling she's not the real problem here." I said, "Good luck." I told him and I left. I went to the sparing arena. And looked around but somehow I felt someone was there. I grabbed a sword and a shield. "Hello?" I looked around. "Anybody he−" I said, but then I felt pain and a warm liquid go down my back I put my hand where it would possible fell and once I felt a drop I looked at it. Blood. My blood. My knees gave out. I lied down on my side, where I saw a man in black with a crossbow. I was shot. And then everything went black.

Percy's POV

After Arachne was gone, I went looking for Annabeth. I went to her cabin but they said:

"I thought she fought with you?" So I left, I went to the sparring arena and I saw a body on the middle of the field. I ran to her and looked at her face. "Wise girl?" Her eyes were closed, I saw an arrow in the back of her shoulder blade. Oh gods, how long has she been lying here? "Annabeth?!" I yelled, hoping she'd wake up, her eyes didn't open but she squeezed my hand.

"Help…" She managed to say.

"Help! Someone!" I yelled. I looked at her, "Stay with me, Wise Girl. Open your eyes." I said, "Help!" I yelled louder.

"Can't… so tired."

"You have to stay awake, fight Annabeth. You told me back when we were getting the golden fleece that we make our own destiny, show me." She managed to make a small smile. Then I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, it was Will. We brought her to the infirmary and I was forced to wait outside.

Whoever did this, will pay for hurting my Wise Girl.

I was so skeptic about posting this chapter but there you go... Please don't hate me. I swear it'll be more fluffy next chapter.
