Okay so again I'm sorry about not updating but hey I did today!

Okay so I had a few votes for Hestia, a bunch for Artemis, a couple that said they wanted Percabeth, which again I have nothing against it, we'll see if it happens. I'm not saying either way.

Oh yeah, so it was also mentioned that Percy probably wouldn't 'flirt' with the other gods. But I disagree, Percy and Rachel had to have flirted or else they wouldn't have kissed. And two Percy never said, "I don't like anyone besides Annabeth." Yes, his fatal flaw is Loyalty and I don't doubt that when Percy is in a relationship he'd be extremely loyal. However, what is stopping him from flirting? Plus, he's a god, it's what they do.

Chapter 7

I sat at my desk in my workshop on Olympus. I stared at the blueprint in my hand that I had been working on for months, well almost a year now. It was a blueprint to my mom's temple. I had truly finished it. It was my first time attempting something that was actually going to be built so me, being Annabeth Chase, it had to be perfect.

It was slightly different than the old temple. I only had to close my eyes and I could see it. The front of the temple was white marble and bronze paneling. I had taken each piece of the temple and made it a project so that it truly was perfect. When you walked in the front gate which stood 3.2 meters high and was fortified with bronze bricking you walked into a forest of olive trees and grape vines which made the path to the front entrance.

There were four steps at the end of the walk that led you to the entrance. While walking you would pass the white marble pillars with bronze plates that were carved of my mother's favorite people. Odysseus and other heroes lined the left, while carvings of her own children were on the right side of the walk. From Daedalus on down to my brothers and sisters I knew personally. I even added a section for Daedalus and his Labyrinth, probably the greatest Architectural thing ever build. I added the parts I knew it led to, such as Alcatraz, Mount Saint Helens…

Annabeth you know not to think of these things, it only hurts you.

I growled at my own head, thinking about him made him mine again. I don't even know where he went. I remember that day as it was yesterday.

I walked over to my mother's throne and stood at her side. I watched Percy kneel before The Big Three. I knew he had made his decision, I knew what it was.

That didn't mean I accepted it.

So as I heard Zeus ask for Percy's decision I walked out. The only reason I walked back in is because Thalia caught up with me and told me my mother wanted to see me.

I remember that moment too. The best moment in my life I think.

"Annabeth Chase," Zeus said, "Your mother has brought it to our attention that it will take longer than expected for you to complete Olympus. So for now we are going to clear it of the rubble and when you build something we shall mark it down in the books as completed by 'Annabeth Chase, the immortal Olympian Architect'"

I stared at the being that I guess was my grandfather. "Immortal?" I thought. I looked around for Percy but he was gone. As were Apollo and Hermes. However, the disgusting amount of blood on the floor didn't exactly bring high hopes. "Did they kill him? Did he turn down becoming a god?" My mind was churning faster than I remember it doing before until my mother grabbed me by the shoulders and gently said, "Annabeth, he is not dead. Do not worry about the Son of Poseidon. He made his choice and now he will accept the blessings and consequences."

It's been a year since that day and I still think about him almost daily. I haven't heard from him or any of the campers. Apparently, I'm too busy working to have time to talk to friends, so says my mother. I actually don't mind because when I think of the other campers, my friends, I think of Perseus Jackson. This is good for you Annabeth, stop it!

I was interrupted from yelling at myself by my assistant Arie, a wind nymph. "Miss Chase, your mother is here to see you." I nodded at her but I was more interested in why her face was red, "Are you alright Arie?" She turned and called over her shoulder, "Let me tell your mother you're ready to see her." Then to someone outside, I'm guessing my mother, she said, "She'll see you now."

As the wind Nymph glided back to my desk she was still really red in the face. "What was it you needed Miss Chase?" I groaned, "Arie, I've told you just call me Annabeth, please."

She smiled, "Yes, Lady Annabeth." I face palmed. "Anyway, I was wondering why you're so red. Are you feeling sick?" To which her face got even more red, which told me something about her.

"Okay Arie, who is he?"

She smiled and blushed a little more, "well he's a god and really cute but he has these green eyes," I immediately think of Percy of course, "that are so sad all the time that you can't help but want to be around him. It's almost like he's lost something precious to him. It almost makes you wish you could heal him hurt, you know?"

Well Percy's eyes from what I remember were never sad. They were always bright and full of hope. This was not my Percy…I meant, 'This was not the Percy I knew.'

I looked at the girl in front of me and smiled, "So Arie has a crush on a god? Well who is it?"

She had just opened her mouth to speak when my mother burst into the room glaring at Arie. Arie (I'm guessing had no clue for the look because I know I didn't) rushed out of the office. I raised my eyebrow at the situation and shrugged.

I looked at my mother and beamed, "I asked you to come over for a surprise, mom." With that said I handed her the freshly printed blue prints and waited for her reaction. Of course, she kept a straight face until she realized what they were. "OH ANNABETH!" she nearly squealed which as her daughter I knew that would be out of character unless she was really excited. Even then, I'd have to question it.

She looked so happy that it was definitely worth all the hard work, and repeating all the hard work over and over just so it was perfect.

"Oh Annabeth, these look marvelous. Truly amazing! I am very pleased with these and will have the Cyclops begin work on it immediately." She acted as if she was leaving but she turned around. "Who's temple is next? Zeus? Why didn't you do his first?"

I wanted to laugh but I knew better, "Nah, I'm saving him for last. You know, best for last. Also I wanted to do yours first because you're the reason I'm immortal and the reason I have the job. I wanted to show you how much I appreciate it. Also, I'm going to do Artemis next. I'll contact her tomorrow and see if she's available to tell me what she would like."

My mom smiled and raised an eye brow, "Sounds like a plan…" to which I grinned and said, "Worthy of Athena."

I know short but all I wanted to do was to show you all what Annabeth was doing.

Again please pm me about the poll question.

Review!
