I am back! Lets do dis!

Annabeth POV

Alby had flipped out on us and put us in their version of a jail. He called it the Slammer. At first I thought it was going to be horrible, but the Slammer was only one room. Eight teenage demigods in one room. I sense disaster right there. Then on top of that, Reyna and Hedge show up too! Hege gets possessed by Gaea then passes out, then Reyna attacks Gally and punches most of the gladers!

Reyna then broke down the door and told us what happened to them. "Wait. Are Festus and The Argo II okay!?" Leo exclaims.

"Leo! She just put her Pegasus down, then got attacked by Gaea's forces and Hegde hit her in the head with his bat! Now she's stuck in this hell hole with us, and that's what you ask!" Hazel scolds.

"No no, it's okay. It'll help me get my mind off of...you know what." Reyna resures.

"Okay, so how's Festus?" Leo asks again.

"He's fine. We went inside the ruins to look for you. The Athena Parthenos is okay also." Reyna tells us.

"Wait!" Piper yells.

"What?" I question.

"Nico can shadow travel!" Piper yells once again.

"He can take the Athena Parthenos to camp!" I exclaim.

"Exactly! Nico, you can save us all! You can save both camps! You can save the Gods!" Again with Piper yelling.

Nico's eyes widen with realization "I can." He whispers. "I can!" He says again, louder this time.

"Who should he take?" Jason asks.

"I'll go." We all look at Reyna.

"Reyna, I could never ask you to go-"

Reyna cuts Nico off. "You're not asking me to go, I am volunteering. I can lend you my strength along the way, too. I could also try to contact the Amazons if we need help." Reyna has determination in her eyes. The same kind of determination I get. I know nothing we can say will change her mind.

"Let her go." All eyes turn to me.

"Annabeth! We can't she has already-" Hazel starts but I cut her off

"No. I know from personal experience, nothing we can say will change her mind." I tell the group.

"Thank you Annabeth." Reyna says.

"No problem, but usually three people go on a quest. Who's the third person?" I pointed out.

"I'll go." We all look to the doorway. Coach Hedge is standing there. "You'll need a satyr. I'm your protecter, I might as well do my job and protect you. Plus I need to get to my family."

"Good, now go. Before someone comes." I tell them.

"Wait!" Hazel gives Nico a big hug. "Stay safe." She tells him.

"I'll try." He says. For the first time in a long time I see love in Nico's eyes. The last time I saw that was when we saved him and Bianca from the Manticore, before I fell off the cliff...

Nico stands up with Reyna. "Hold hands." He tells them. They follow his orders so they look like they're about to play Ring Around the Rosy. Then they melt into the shadows in the wall. Disappearing from sight and - hopefully - gone to save the world.

A few seconds later Alby walks in mouth open. "The shuck?" I hear him say. "You broke down the door!?"

"Well Reyna did. We just watched her do it." Leo told him.

"Wh-where'd she go? Where'd the goat man go? Where'd the goth boy go?" Hazel snapps when he says goth boy.

"HE'S NOT GOTH! HE'S EMO! THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE!" She yells.

"Calm down drama queen." Alby said.

Uh oh.

"CALM DOWN!? DRAMA QUEEN!? YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE! YOU TRY BEING ME FOR A DAY! SEE IF YOU DON'T FLIP OUT! HA! TRY BEING ME! SEE IF YOU DON'T GO CRAZY! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY!" She rants.

Alby looks like he just shit his pants. "Hazel-" Frank put a comforting hand on her shoulder. But she just shrugs it off angrily.

"TRY TO BE ANY ONE OF US! TRY BEING PERCY OR ANNABETH 24 HOURS AGO! YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL NICO ISN'T HERE! YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW!" Then she breaks into tears, and falls to the ground. Me and Frank run over to her while glaring at Alby. If only he kept his mouth shut.

"Nico...he-he... where is he? Is he okay!?" Hazel starts sobbing.

"Don't worry Hazel." Frank sooths as she sobs into his shoulder. "He's okay. We're here for you. Nico's fine. He's saving the world."

"He-he is?" Hezel lifts her head up tears endlessly running down her face.

"He is. We could Iris message him and show you." I suggest. Hazel nodded her head. "Percy?" I ask. Percy holds his hand over the ground, then a stream of water shoots up into the light making a rainbow. Leo throws a drachma into the rainbow then I say "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow except our offering. Show me Nico Di Angelo at The Argo II."

An image of Nico, Reyna, and Hedge comes up. Nico notices us first. "Hazel?"

Hazel looks him in the eye. "Nico! You're okay! Gaea...she showed me an image of you! Y-you-you w-were d-d-dead!" Hazel still has tears streaming down her face.

"It's okay Hazel! I'm fine. I'm saving the world. Don't worry." Nico resures her.

"Y-you are?" She asks.

"Yes. I'm saving the world. I'll do it for you." He tells her.

"Y-you will?"

"Yes. Don't worry. I'll see you soon." Nico then waves his hand in the image and it disappears.

"I wish someone would save the world for me." Leo grumbles.

"Leo! Don't make me come over there." I warn.

"Why? What are you gonna do?" He questions.

I get up and walk over to him. I then kick him in the shin. I start to walk away but he grabs my arm. "Ow!" I yell he burnt me. Leo has a smug look on his face. I literally wipe it off. I slap his face then kick him in the stomach. As I pull away he grabs my leg. "Don't you dare." I warn. He smirk then burns my leg. The same leg in the splint. The splint catches on fire. "Percy!" I yell.

"On it!" Percy sprays my leg with water, along with Leo's face. Just long enough for me to grab his tool belt and run out the door, limping.

After a few seconds I hear Leo cursing at me in Spanish. After a few more seconds I feel my shoes start to melt.

I run into the woods in search of a river. I find one with an underground cave connected to it. I swim into the cave and pull myself onto the shore of the underground cave.

A few minutes later I see someone jump into the river. All I can see is the mop of black hair on their head. Percy. Sure enough Percy's head pops up next to me. "Leo's burning down trees looking for you. You know that right?" Percy says.

"Nope, but I think now is the perfect time to call your mom." I tell him.

Percy's face turns sad "My mom." He whispers "She must be so worried."

"She won't be worried if you just call her Seaweed Brain." I say nudging his shoulder.

Percy creates a rainbow then throws the drachma in. "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow please accept my offering." The drachma falls into the rainbow and disappears. "Show me Sally Jackson in New York."

An image of Sally crying on Percy's bed appears. "Mom?" Percy says shakily.

"Percy?" Sally lifts her head up and looks around. When her eyes land on us the life returns to her face. "Percy!" She starts crying more. "Oh, god Percy! Y-you're okay. Thank the gods you're okay! I prayed every night to the gods. To show any sign that you were alive! One of the gods, th-they said you and Annabeth were likely dead a few days ago, but I never gave up hope. I knew in my heart you were alive! B-but, oh Percy!" Paul walks into the room then.

"Sally what-" He looks at where she was looking. For him it probably looks like we're on the TV or in a picture. "Percy."

"He-he's alive." Sally tells him.

"Mom, I need tell you what happened." Percy said. I look at Percy and see tears in his eyes as he starts to tell his mom and Paul what happened.

"Oh Percy. I-it's hard to believe all that Hera did to you. Just to have the camps fight anyway! Ugh! Why did this have to happen to you? Why not someone else? You've already shown much more strength, and kindness in a few years then most people do in their whole life! Why you?" Sally starts to cry again.

"Mom, don't worry. Nico, Reyna and Coach Hedge are on their way. If we aren't out of here by the time they save the camps, then Nico will come back for us." Percy resures her.

"I know. It's just... Percy I miss you." She confesses

"I miss you too mom." Now tears are sliding down his face. This is the first time I have seen Percy cry and it breaks my heart.

"Just, stay safe." She finishes.

"We'll try." He tells her. Sally waves her hand in the image and disappears.

I give Percy a hug and he starts crying into my shoulder. "Don't worry Percy. I'll get you back to your mom if it's the last thing I do." I tell him.

"Please don't. I want you to be with me forever." He says.

"Me too."

"That's why I fell into Tartarus with you. I needed to protect the love of my life."

"But half of the time I was protecting you." I point out.

"Shut up." He says placing a hand over my mouth.

I roll my eyes as fire attacks the surface of the river. "Don't make me come down there!" Leo yells.

I throw his tool belt into the river. It hits the river bed right as Leo jumps into the water. He gets his tool belt then swims over to us. "Don't try anything. I have a Percy and I'm not afraid to use him." I warn, putting Percy in front of me for protection.

"I am not afraid to blow up the wash house. Again." Percy threatens.

"Hey, I just rebuilt it! Show some respect!" Leo says.

"Yeah, well I sprained my ankle and fell into Tartarus but that didn't stop you from setting my splint on fire!" I accuse him.

"Hey, I just fell in love and I'm having some really mixed emotions here-" He clamps a hand over his mouth eyes wide.

"Oooo! Leo's in love! If you don't tell us right now who it is, Percy is going to blow up the wash house and I'm gonna tell Piper you're in love and you're gonna go crazy because of her pestering you." I threaten.

"Fine it's" he takes a deep breath then mumbled something that sounds like calico.

"Calico? Who's Calico?" I ask.

"It's Calypso." He corrects.

"Oh, Calypso. Percy, didn't you meet Calypso after you got shot out of a volcano?" I say.

Leo jumps back into the river after blushing, making a big splash.

"Before, what did you mean you've had experience with determination?" Percy asks.

"Our first quest. I was going no matter what you or Grover said." I told him.

"It's a good thing you did, or me and Grover would have died like five times."

"Or you would be trapped in the Lotus Casino and become friends with Nico and Bianca." I suggest.

"But wouldn't I come out with them since we would be BFF's and want to be with each other no matter what?"

"True." Wait. "Seaweed Brain! You just said something smart!" I exclaim.

"I did? I did! Oh my gods Annabeth I said something smart! You must be so proud!"

"Yes, you've been spending too much time with me." I push him away.

"But we haven't seen each other for months then we were with each other for like one month."

"Stop saying smart things!" I tell him.

"Sorry. Wait why should I be sorry?"

"There's the Seaweed Brain I know and love." I give Percy a hug. He laughs.

"If the Gladers ever get angry at us and want to kill us all of us could hide down here. There's enough room, and Leo has sandwiches and heat covered, and I have water covered." Percy says.

"I would be like camping! But what if they found us?" I ask.

"Hazel could just create a tunnel that led elsewhere. Or she could use the mist to make us look like monsters!"

"I miss Bob." I tell Percy.

"I miss him too. When we get out of this mess, I'm going to ask Zeus to bring Bob back. What are you going to do?" He looks at me with questioning eyes.

"Well if we could say anything and not get in trouble, I know what I would say." I am now smirking.

"What would you say?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because if I'm allowed to say it, then it will be priceless!"

"If you're not allowed to say it will you tell me?"

"Absolutely!"

"Good."

"But you need to bring a camera. So when we are old and bored we'll watch the video." I smile thinking of what I want to say.

"Well if you want to record it then it must be good." Percy concludes.

"Trust me. It's good. C'mon, lets go before Leo makes Hazel pass out because of what he thinks we're doing." I get up and hold my hand out for Percy.

Percy takes my hand. "Or before he lights himself on fire laughing at her."


AN : What do you think Annabeth wants to say? I know who she's going to say it to and what she's going to say, but I'm gonna make you wait until she says it to make it funnier! Ha ha ha!
