Percy's POV: Sometime in-between closing my eyes, I had fallen asleep. Flashes of my past whirred in my head, kind of like a lifeline. You know how sometimes you had repeating dreams? Yeah. That timeline was going over and over and over. By the time I was getting really sick of seeing my stupid mistakes, Luke flashed into my mind then I woke up with a start.

Why Luke? Beats me. Annabeth feels me wake up and nudges me softly. Closing my eyes, I nudge her back as a response. Taking a deep breath, I listen. Which is hard for me because of patience. I could hear the hissing of Medusa to my left, and the snoring of a monster to my right.

I wish I could look without being turned into useless stone, I thought bitterly. Then it hit me. Riptide. Using my free hand, I carefully slide it into my pocket. Riptide was hard to get to, but I eventually found it. Taking out my trusty pen, I uncap it and open my eyes.

I strangle down a yelp. Medusa was fast asleep on a chair she somehow managed to find. Looking at the chain, I slash at mine, then at Annabeth's. She immediately took out her dagger, looking around in it.

"Look. Let's just go while Medusa is asl-" I was cut off by a hand going up to my throat. The hissing sound was a lot louder. I close my eyes just in time to briefly see Annabeth's horrified face.

"Son of Poseidon, why don't you look at my face? It's utterly rude." Medusa purrs, and I almost gag from the scent of her perfume.

"Excuse me, but last time I checked, he's my boyfriend. You're a little too close for my liking." Annabeth cuts in.

Medusa laughs, "You two? Last time we met you had to strain from killing each other!" Medusa sneers.

"Enough!" Annabeth yells and I hear a sickly slash.

Opening my eyes, I look down at Riptide. Annabeth 's in front of me, looking pale, she has blood stained all over her, and she looks worried, too. Medusa was gone, but not for long. Looking around, I grab Annabeth's hand. I didn't know what the monster was, but I didn't want to see it. We both quietly sneak around it, and Annabeth curses quietly. I frown at her as she quietly motions to her head.

"My Yankees cap. I left it in on the ship. I wish I wasn't so stupid at to not bring it. It would have been useful." She spits at me.

"Annabeth, don't say that. You couldn't have known that you were going to need it. I mean, you didn't expect to go and fall into the pit of Tartarus, did you? It's not like you left it there on purpose." I say, leading the way through the darkness.

"Well…I just…I should've expected this. After all, I'm a daughter of Athena. Athena always thinks things through, always expects the unexpected. Athena's children are expected to do the same. Especially me. I did something that will change the way Athena looks at her children."

"Wise Girl you can't be expected to know everything. Seriously. Calm down. We don't really need it anyways." I explain, trying to see my way through with a flashlight.

Then I run into a bush. Swearing softly, I shine the flashlight at the bush to see how high it is; there wasn't an end. To either side of me, fog expands over where the beam doesn't cut. Looking around, I know I can't go back. The only way left is inside.

Hope you guys like it! Peace out! ~ZammiePercabeth
