Hey! Thanks for all of you who reviewed, subscribed, favorite-d, and gave me some ideas! So for a gift, I give you Annabeth's POV! (Isn't it a great gift?) Well, enjoy! Review too? I love me some feedback! xD.

A/N: I used part of last chapter in this one. I think you would notice. It might be… shorter than some other chapters… Who knows? I don't think it will be short now. :P And also, the date for the funerals is pushed forward. I also made up the order they went in because my friend is borrowing my books and I can't look through them.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the characters, if I did, would I be writing this? Nope, this would probably be published in a real book.

Annabeth's POV

"SEAWEED BRAIN!" I little Kelp Head. I glared at him, and he looked taken-back.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy said nervously, "Why are you soaking wet?"

I mentally rolled my eyes and said, "Really Percy. Really? Do I really have to explain?"

"No," he said. "Just trying to calm things down?"

We stood there in silence for a few seconds, and then I said, "Look Percy, I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now." I was lying. I wanted to talk to him; I just didn't want to answer questions if suddenly I burst out saying, "I LOVE YOU PERCY!"

"Annabeth," he sighed, "I'm sorry for choosing to be a god—"

I cut him off immediately, "Percy I'm not mad." I truly wasn't mad. I was hardly mad at him, unless he did something really stupid like soak me in river water.

He looked surprised, and shocked. He probably thought that I was mad. I have to admit I was mad when he said yes, I was hoping that he would say no. No not like hoping, I knew that he wouldn't pick god-hood. His choice surprised me, and that's why I ran out of the Throne Room crying.

"Really, you're not mad?" he asked. I was right; there was a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, I learned to ignore the fact that you chose god-hood over me. Percy I thought we could have had something, but I guess that won't be happening." Oh gods, what was I saying? Did I just say that I wanted something with him? I suddenly wanted to cry again.

"Annabeth—" Percy started. I didn't need to hear what he said, for I would probably start breaking down, so I walked away as fast as I can. I didn't look back, I wouldn't look back. I would never look back at my painful memories. Luke and Percy were the only guys that I could say I was actually close to. Sure, Malcolm was a good brother, but he wasn't as close to me as Luke or Percy. But now, both of them were out of my life.

Why did the Fates hate me?

I ran. I ran all the way to my cabin, tears stinging my eyes. No one bothered to stop me, no one had the guts to. Last time someone tried to comfort me, I flipped them off. I didn't want to talk to anyone. There was only one person I needed right now, and she was off with her fellow hunters doing whatever huntress's do.

When I reached my cabin, I shut the door loudly and plopped myself onto my bunk trying to hold back more tears. I was glad no one was in the cabin right now; they hated it to see me like this. Mad, sad, depressed, and crying over a guy who was probably not going to come back. What was I thinking? I'm a child of Athena for the gods' sake, not some daughter of Aphrodite. I don't cry over boys.

Why was I crying over Percy? Why did he make me feel like a love-struck girl? Was I really in love with Seaweed Brain?

"Stupid Aphrodite," I muttered.

"You can say that again," a voice said from the doorway. I turned to see Thalia leaning against the wall.

"Thalia!" I screamed. "It's so good to see you again!" I jumped off my bunk and ran towards Thalia and engulfed her in a big hug. She hugged me back, and suddenly my sadness was gone.

"I heard 'bout you and Captain Kelp. Care to tell me?"

I laughed then told her what had happened. Few tears escaped, but they were hardly noticeable.

"You know Annabeth, you could always join the Hunters," Thalia said after I finished telling her.

"No," I said quietly. There was a part of me that told me to wait, just wait, and Percy will come back.

Thalia understood and she nodded. She told me if I ever change my mind, just to give her an Iris Message. I smiled, knowing Thalia would always be there for me.

"By the way, why are you here? It's not that I don't want you—" I asked.

Thalia looked like she wanted to cry, "You don't remember? The funeral for the fallen heroes is tonight."

"Oh my gods, I completely forgot! That makes sense why you're here."

*At the Funeral* (Still Annabeth's POV!)

Everyone was slowly gathering around the Amphitheatre. The burning of the shrouds was beginning soon. Thalia and I sat quietly in the front row, making little talk. Tonight was a night of mourning.

They brought out the shrouds in the order that they died. Chiron said things about the person, and one person that was close to the person that died would do the honors of lighting them on fire. I didn't really pay any attention to some of them. I only watched those that I knew. Like Beckendorf, Silena, Micheal and even Ethan.

Most people were crying now. Thalia's face was composed, and she didn't look like she was going to cry any time soon. I cried a little bit, I certainly didn't look like a wreck.

Then it was Luke's turn to be burned. Everything changed at that moment. Thalia suddenly burst into tears and I quickly followed. Everyone was staring at Thalia, especially because they had never seen her cry. Thalia saw them stare at her and glared at them. They shrunk back into their seats and she started crying again.

Chiron said a few words about Luke. Like how he was a great with a sword, and how he turned against us and helped Kronos. He turned to me and Thalia, signaling us to come up towards his shroud. Thalia tried to compose her face again, but failed.

Thalia and I grabbed the lighter from Chiron and stood next to Luke's shroud.

"I love you Luke, as a brother. Never forget," I murmured quietly. I think I heard Thalia say "I love you" to Luke to, but I wasn't so sure.

After two deep breaths, the lighter hit Luke's shroud and quickly burned it. We stood there for a few seconds, a river of tears coming out of our eyes, then left.

It was a sad day today. I would remember it, and it would scar my mind.

Sad, I know. I wanted it to be sad. I managed to get Thuke in though. *small smile*

I think most of you don't want a Percy/Calypso, trust me, I don't either. This will be 100% PERCABETH! No Percy/Rachel or Percy/Calypso, I really don't like those.

Next chapter will explain more about Percy's godly powers (like what he's a god of… (Give me some ideas!)) Percy telling Calypso "Just friends" and the underwater mess! Don't forget to review and give me ideas, they help me write faster!
