Okay, so. After a year of not writing. Which I sincerely apologize for! I have come to a conclusion, that a few things in the previous chapters had to change.

So I highly suggest you guys read the first 2 chapters again. It might be a tad bit confusing in this chapter. But I think you might...maybe I dunno...enjoy it.

Oh and we have a new character that was not mentioned in the books. So I technically own her . Okay, go read.

Oh and I have a new Annabeth! I would like her to be played by Ms, Ella Purnell. Yes she maybe Brunette but who cares?

I looked at Chiron, confusion clearly written on my face. There was no one else by my bed, just me and good ol' Chiron. He sighed and started to stroke his beard.

Finally he spoke up. "Percy, what I'm about to tell you is something you can't tell anyone." I nod, excitement filling my body. "Krono's army isn't really coming back"

I stared at Chiron, mouth hanging open."You lied to Annabeth and Grover? But why?"

Chiron shifted."Percy, I know some things about both of them right now that made that lie necessary. They, mainly Annabeth needs to know that the potion was real. She needs something in her life that's real! And that's you."

"What are you talking about? What's happening? You still can't lie though! What if she finds out ." My head was spinning and I kept glancing at he door, afraid that Annabeth would enter at any minute over hearing us. Chiron raised his eyebrow.

"Then you're the only one to blame Percy. I know you still remember every single thing that happened with Alicia. Even the feeling of it." Chiron's words were dripping with guilt as his bronze eyes bore into my green ones.

I looked down ashamed."I, couldn't tell her. It would just..." I shook my head at thought of even admitting it. Something about Annabeth just felt so delicate when she was talking to me . That any off-putting thing I said would just make her fall apart.

Chiron coughed and started wheeling himself towards the door. "Maybe I should just cancel that head counsellor meeting tonight."

"Wait!" I yelled. "But how come I was out 2 days!"

Chiron smiled and looked at me.

"I've always had a knack for making my hero's go to sleep when I need them to. It just made the whole thing more convincing. Now get some rest."

I nodded in agreement and went back to sleep.

*2 days later*

No one seemed to care about the Krono's army fiasco anymore. Chiron had assured Annabeth and Grover that Krono's army wasn't actually coming. After that everything seemed to be back to normal. Everything, accept me and Annabeth.

Even though she still believed the potion was the cause of everything she still wouldn't look me in the eye which made me feel though she was hiding something. Every time we would pass each other she would hide her troubled face and avoid me for the rest of the day. I started to feel even more guilty. Finally I decided that I had to do something.

On my way to archery, I stopped in front of the Athena cabin. I looked at it up and down and eventually decided to just go and talk to Annabeth. My hands were trembling as I pounded on the door. After a few seconds, the door slowly creaked open and there stood Annabeth, dressed in her normal camp shirt and a pair of jean shorts while her blond, curly hair fell gently down her back.

"We need to talk." I said, imagining her to protest and struggle for a while and then finally give in. But she just nodded and opened the door wider, allowing me to enter.

I decided to tell her the truth about how my actions with Alicia were done spontaneously and how I lied to her in the hospital. I was going to admit everything. Everything, until I looked at her, expecting to find her usual stormy gray eyes. But it wasn't the same, her eyes were red, as if she were crying. My heart pounded.

Thankfully there were not many people in the cabin except Michael who quickly got up and left as I made myself comfortable on one of the beds.

"Look, Annabeth. There's uh, there's something I need to tell you. What I said in the hospital wasn't exactly – " The last few words were muffled out by Annabeth's phone ringing. Her ringtone was "Sun in my Pocket" by the South African band *Locnville with who Annabeth was obsessed about for 2 weeks.

* There really good! If your interest there's a link at the end of this chapter for their song, Sun in my Pocket*

She picked up her phone and turned her back to me, quietly murmuring yeses and no's. When she finally hung up and turned towards me, her face was blotching and eyes red as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Annabeth, what's wrong?" Annabeth just shook her head and motioned for me to carry on with my confessions. "No, tell me!" I said, jumping up from the bed. Suddenly Annabeth burst out into to tears and slumped onto the bed.

"My, my. My Aunt Eleanor. She has cancer and my dad just phoned to say how she's refusing to go to her chemo session today." Annabeth covered her face with the her hands and started to cry again.

I was frozen. Annabeth and her Aunt were like two peas and pod. Aunt Eleanor was an architect and Annabeth looked up to her like she was Zeus. I met Eleanor a few times and I could see why Annabeth and her were close. *Eleanor is 10 years older than Annabeth and they practically looked like sisters. This news was definitely not good.

*Annabeth's 17 years old...*

I finally shook myself out and went to sit next to Annabeth, wrapping my arms around her. She leaned into me and cried into my chest.

After at least 10 minutes of me rocking Annabeth back and forth, murmuring soothing words into her ear, she finally calmed down and looked up at me.

"Percy?" Her voice was soft a gentle.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry for ever doubting you about Alicia. I should have known you would never have down that on purpose." The guilt washed over me once again as I remembered what I really came here to do.

I looked down at Annabeth's face. At that moment I knew, that if I told her the truth now, she would definitely fall apart. Something I couldn't risk

I kissed the top of her head. "It's okay." Annabeth snuggled up against my chest and her breathing slowed until she was asleep.

So the new character is Aunt Eleanor! Hopefully she might make an appearance in later chapters. Hope this wasn't to confusing for you. I just didn't like the "army coming back" idea anymore.

And don't worry, Alicia will definitely be in the next chapter.

Review my lovely's!
