Hey guys! So this chapter is longer I promise! Anyways enjoy!

Percy's POV

After Connie's rampage of crying and bawling, well we got ourselves into deeper trouble.

Leo was trying to comfort Connie by whispering words of encouragement to her. But then the ship shook rapidly and all of Hades broke loose.

It all started with the storm spirits.

They bombarded the ship and cackled evilly as they reached out their claws to slash us.

But all of us were quick. We all grabbed our sharp weapons and got to work.

I slashed and defended myself as a storm spirit tried slashing at my shoulder. Then all of a sudden hellhounds hopped onto the ship and ran towards us.

What the hell is happening?

I looked at everyone else and they were slashing and hacking at the hellhounds.

Connie was using every ounce of energy she had. She brought out her hunting knives and flipped as a hellhound ran towards her. As she flipped over the hellhound she stabbed it in the back.

I turned towards my opponent and saw that it was a pack of hellhounds. I steadied my sword and smirked wildly as I stabbed each easily and cleanly.

Suddenly, a hellhound jumped on me and growled in my face. I closed my eyes and kicked the monster off of my chest.

I slashed at the demon and staggered as I stood.

I looked around and all of the other monsters were into dust. I gazed at the others and they had scratched on their faces and some slashes on them.

Yet my sister looked the most weak. She was pale and it seemed like her powers were slipping from her grip.

Her sea green eyes were dimmed and she had a faraway look in them.

She caught my gaze and her stare hardened as she swept some dust off of her clothes.

I broke my gaze away from her and walked towards Annabeth.

"You okay?" I asked worriedly.

Annabeth laughed and nodded as she sheathed her dagger.

"Stop being so worried. Loosen up," Annabeth laughed.

She smiled and then grabbed a cold, damp cloth. She pressed it against my face and I winced.

She started cleaning my scratches and wounds as she talked to me. But I grabbed her wrist and took the cloth.

"You first," I said.

"Percy, you have a lot of scratches and wounds on you. I think I should continue cleaning your wounds," Annabeth protested as she reached for the cloth.

I dodged her grabby hands and gave her a look that said that I'm not giving up.

Annabeth sighed and rolled her eyes.

I smiled in satisfaction and pressed the cloth against her face softly. She winced in pain and squeezed my hand.

I knew how she felt but I needed to clean her wounds. After I was done, I popped ambrosia squares in her mouth and she sighed in relief.

"Your turn," Annabeth sighed as she grabbed the cloth.

I shrugged and she cleaned my face gently.

A few minutes later she looked at me and smirked.

"Seaweed Brain, take off your shirt," she said.

"Why?" I asked with a questioning look.

"There's a wound going down from your neck to your back. You can easily see it since your shirt is torn into pieces," Annabeth laughed.

I looked down at my shirt and just realized that it was pretty much only threads.

I took off my shirt and let Annabeth press the chilling cloth against my back. Then she pressed the cloth against my chest and she looked at my eyes.

She smiled and quickly pecked my lips.

"I love you Wise Girl," I said.

Annabeth looked up at me with her sparkly grey eyes and smiled.

"I love you too Seaweed Brain."

After about twenty minutes Annabeth and I walked towards Leo and Connie.

Leo was holding Connie's hand while she shivered.

"What the heck happened to you anyways?" I asked.

Connie looked at me harshly like never before.

Her eyes glowed with anger and evil. Yet they seemed to move like the ocean.

"I don't want to talk about it," Connie spat.

Annabeth looked taken back and walked towards Connie.

"Connie what's wrong? You're not acting like yourself," I said.

She glared at me harshly and balled up her fists.

"Things. Change," she muttered darkly.

I grabbed her head and looked into her eyes. They looked normal except something was wrong.

Her eyes weren't sea green. Instead, they were dark brown and they looked like black holes.

"Something's wrong with you," I concluded.

Leo stood next to me and sighed.

"This is my entire fault," Leo said.

"How?" I asked.

Leo sighed and then told me about his dream. Apparently Ouranos told Leo that he took one of our powers and he's guessing it was Connie's.

Yet something was definitely wrong with her.

I let go of Connie and she swatted my hand.

What the heck happened to my sister?

Connie stood up abruptly and stormed off.

I walked after her and spun her around by the shoulder.

"What the hell happened to you?" I asked.

"Leave me alone!" she screamed.

I had no choice. I stared at her harshly.

"Either you answer me or you know what'll happen," I murmured darkly.

"Never," she whispered angrily.

I lifted my hand and she didn't even flinch. Then I slapped her across the face. Hard.

She looked up at me in shock but I smiled. I smiled because her eyes were now sea green, not chocolate brown.

She rubbed her cheek and grumbled.

"What the hell was that for?" she asked.

I rolled my eyes and waved it away. She frowned at me and then walked away from me, storming off.

I smiled satisfied and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned around to see Annabeth who looked at me angrily.

"What did you do to Connie? She's crying and there's a hand print on her face.

I sighed and explained everything and Annabeth widened her eyes.

"You could've done something else other than I don't know slap her!" Annabeth hissed.

Annabeth looked at me and sighed as she walked away quietly.

I walked towards Connie and saw tears coming down her face. Her eyes were rimmed with red and they were tearing up quickly.

"Connie I'm sorry," I whispered.

She shrugged and then looked at me.

"I have nothing to cry for. The only reason I'm crying is because I let myself get weak and so… so… angry," Connie replied.

Okay. That's it for now! I'll update soon! Review!
