Hey, guys! I am so sorry i haven't updated! (Hides behind a wall) Don't hate me. My brother took my laptop by accident when he went to New York, he came back today and i started writing as soon as he walked through the door. I promise to update very soon, as i am used to. So keep an eye out for my next updates, and stories.

Percy's POV

It's been two weeks since Annabeth took me to that cave. And two weeks since the Book of Knowledge told her Luke's horrible plans. She never did tell me, but after that, she's been more Brave and more determined to stop Luke. If only i knew his plans...

"Yo, Percy!" Grover yelled as he ran towards me.

"What is it, Grover?" I was kind of annoyed. I was going to visit Annabeth.

"We found a note! Luke was in the city last night, and left a note at the palace. Princess Annabeth wants to see you, now!" He said. I took off running. As i got to the palace, the guard who asks you to put your weapon in a basket didn't say anything to me. Yeah, that's right, I'm pretty special! When i got to the Throne room, Annabeth looked worried, and Chiron was telling her comforting things, but they weren't working.

"Percy, my boy. You got here fast." Chiron stated. I blushed.

"Yes, Grover told me about the note, it sounded kind of urgent. So i ran..." I looked down, and when i looked back up Annabeth and Chiron were smiling. Annabeth was probably smiling at my craziness. And Chiron was smiling because he knew that story was a fake.

"Chiron can you please give him the note." Annabeth asked.

"Oh course, my dear." he said, and trotted (yes, trotted. He's a centaur) over to me. He handed me a piece of paper folded up neatly, and with a red ribbon wrapped around it.

"Thank you, Chiron." I said as i opened the note.

Dear, sweet Princess Annabeth.

You sleep so calmly like an Angel. And yes, i watched you sleep, thank the gods i wasn't tempted to... Never mind. I just want you to know that i will have you. You will be my future wife so get used to the idea. And that stupid Prince Perseus can't stop destiny. I will have everything he has, Plus Wisdom Island, Plus Greece. That idiot Percy won't be able to safe you, or help you in anyway. I just wanted to give you a heads up. All this will be happening soon.

- Your future husband, Luke.

When i finished reading the note, i was shaking with anger. Annabeth looked at me worried, and so did Chiron.

HE WATCHED ANNABETH SLEEP? What a sick-! You know what; I'm not even going to say it!

I had always known Luke was jealous of me, but he is messing with the one thing i most care about... Annabeth. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Annabeth.

"Don't worry. I have contacted my Mother; she will be here sometime in the afternoon. She is known for her wisdom in war, so we can be calm for a bit."

"Annabeth did you read the note? How could you be so calm?" I accidently yelled at her. She looked at the floor.

"I'm not calm. I'm deadly scared. I'm creeped out that he watched me in his sleep. And he said he was going to hurt you. My people are terrified. But i have to remain calm, so they can remain calm. So they can feel safe, i love everyone that lives here, and i hate seeing them this scared. I will do anything to protect them. Won't you?" She asked me.

"I'd do anything to protect you." I said. It just kind of slipped out. She had her back facing Chiron, and she smiled a bit. I blushed.

"I mean... I-i m-meant to say w-was that i-"

"I know what you were trying to say. Don't worry." She said, as she walked back to her silver throne. She sat down and sighed.

"I wished there was something else i could do..."

"You've done all you could possibly do, Annabeth. You even went to scout the streets in the night when i told you not too." Chiron said. Annabeth looked at him guilty. I could tell that they had a strong bond. A strong Father/Daughter relationship, since Annabeth was never raised with her parents.

"I'm sorry, Chiron. But what was i supposed to do?"

"Stay in your room. The guards didn't even notice you were gone, because you jumped out the window. And don't think i didn't notice. You grabbed a towel and then put it on a tree branch and slide down. How did you even come up with that?"

Annabeth blushed. I laughed; then she glared at me.

"Oh, shut it Percy! I'm a daughter of Athena! War and Battle strategies run through my veins! I'm not just going to sit here, and let a random stranger bring terror to my people! If there something i can do to help, or stop this madness, I'll do it." Then she stood up and stormed out. I immediately felt bad, and i could tell Chiron did too.

"Annabeth, wait!" I called after her.

But she didn't stop; I ran up to her and grabbed her hand. I felt something medal under my hand, but then i remember Annabeth had an arm cuff on her arm.

"What, Percy?" She said. One of the things i loved about her was that she didn't call me 'Prince Percy', just 'Percy'.

"I'm sorry; i-i wasn't thinking when i spoke. I'm sorry." I said.

"I understand, Percy. It's just...I don't think that other people understand how much i want to protect my Island. And how much i love my kingdom. I would do anything for it." She said looking at me in the eyes. I was about to answer when a guard came running toward Annabeth.

"Princess Annabeth, your Mother has arrived." he said.

"Thank you, Mark. You may go now." She smiled at him. He nodded and left. I was surprised on how she knew the name of every guard. They all looked the same to me.

"Well, Percy. Time to go see my Mother." She said and began walking toward the city gates. I followed.

I hope you guys can forgive me! I will update very soon. There should be a new chapter by tomorrow! XD
