A/N PLEASE READ! Sorry for the people that wanted a Annabeth & Brooke chapter, but I finished this one first but I promise that when I post that chapter it will be twice as long as some of the others… and if some of you are worried, Alexis and Percy will not end up together. But you remember in the third book where Aphrodite said she was going to make his love life hard and all that. Well this is my way of incorporating that. THANKS!

Percy

It was hard to wait the last few hours before lights out. I had so much on my mind. But after what seemed like an eternity I heard the wolves howl, signaling for the campers to get in bed. Alexis told me that Lupa didn't mind people up late, as long as they were awake bright and early in the morning for training and were aware of the consequences of not giving you're all during it. Not too long after lights out, I heard a soft knock on my door.

"I really hope you're not asleep again." Her voice came from the outside, muffled because of the door. "I tried everything to get you up for dinner, and if you are, I'm leaving right now!"

I just walked over and opened the door.

"Well, thank the gods. Here I thought you forgot about me!" I laughed.

"So, Ms. Constellations-instructor… where's the best star gazing spot. I'll need a good view of 'proving you wrong'. Though you think it doesn't exist, I have a good theory of why. And if you don't believe me, why did you bring a star map?"

"To humor you. Just kidding. On the off-chance that you are right, I want to put the constellation down."

"Well, I hope you have a pen to mark it with." She just stuck her tongue out at me.

"To answer your earlier question, the best spot is the beach, so let's get going." She said, grabbing my hand and trying to drag me away. After watching her struggle for a little I finally followed.

The ocean at night is one of the greatest things you will ever see. The moon reflected off the water, twinkling every time there was the slightest disturbance in the water. The stars from this point were brighter than I had ever seen them before. Not a single cloud covered them. She lead me over to a blanket on the sand.

"This is the best place to star gaze, give you the best vantage point. Now where is this constellation?" she said, a smug look on her face. She still didn't believe me. I scanned the sky for the star I had identified in my dream was the tip of the arrow, the brightest star in the grouping.

"Okay, so you see that one star right there?"

"Yeah?" she said uncertainly at the confidence in my voice.

"Well, if you follow it down, you see the others in the line?"

"Um, yeah…"

"That's the Huntress's Arrow. And if you look at the ones that curve around it that's her.." I prompted

"A bow. And, Wow! But wait!" she looked at the star map and gasped. "You were right! My star map was a present from my godly parent a few years ago, and whenever I'm told about a new constellation and shown it, and it has to be a real one, it automatically is marked on here. Look!" and there it was. A huge grouping of stars that stretched across the night sky in the form of the girl that was once Zoe. "You said you had a theory for why I didn't know it.."

"You see, when you couldn't wake me up, I was having a dream-"

"Figured that…" she said under her breath.

"And there was this girl, she was dying from a cut in her side, it was green. Poison. Her name was Zoe."

"Was?"

"Well, she was being held by another girl, with silver eyes. About twelve or thirteen—"

"You met Lady Diana?" Alexis gasped.

"Maybe, I don't know. It's all still fuzzy. But anyway, Zoe said something about the stars being brighter than normal, like she was in a trance, then she didn't move." I felt a sudden pang of sadness, how had I known this girl. "So the girl with the silver eyes whispered some sort of blessing in a different language with her hand cupped over Zoe's mouth, then Zoe vanished. All that was left was silver dust in the younger girl's hands. She said some more words then all of a sudden there was a new constellation in the sky. And the girl with the silver eyes said 'Let the world honor you, my Huntress. Live forever in the stars.' And it was over."

"Benedictio astra! That blessing hasn't been given in thousands of years! It must've been Lady Diana! Wow, you had an interesting life…" Alexis looked at me with what seemed like awe. "but what does this have to do with your sword?"

"Oh, yeah! Well in the beginning Zoe held it and said 'You were right Percy Jackson' apparently my last name is Jackson… 'You are nothing like… like Hercules. I am honored that you carry this sword.' So it sounds like she made it, or it used to belong to her or something."

"Wow…" she seemed at a loss for words. She looked at me, both of us sitting on the blanket, allowing the waves to lap at our feet. Her eyes seemed to ask questions, but she bit her lip as if not knowing whether or not to say anything. She soon decided against it and looked at the sky. "I've always loved the night sky; it looks so peaceful all the time. I think it represents a demigod's life pretty well. It's mostly dark and uncertain, but along the way are pinpricks of light to guide you, and if you take the time to stop and look, they can sometimes light up that darkness." She sighed softly, and laid back on the blanket.

"That was… deep." I said, not quite sure how to respond to a comment like that. She just started laughing.

"You really are dense, you know that?" she said hitting my arm. She had that look again, like she wanted to ask me something, but again she looked away.

"So you said that the star map was a present from your parent. Who is that?"

"My mother, Nyx. Goddess of the night."

"Well that explains why you like the night so much." She hit me on the arm again and chuckled lightly. Then she looked at me with interest.

"Do you have any clue as to who your godly parent might be?" I snorted.

"Besides Anaklusmos, no."

"Ana-klus-mos?" she looked at me funny as she stumbled over the word.

"Anaklusmos, or Riptide. It's carved into the blade, here." I brought out the sword and uncapped the blade. Sure enough, there were the odd symbols that he'd been able to read.

"What? It looks like Latin but different… how can you read that?" I shrugged.

"I know no more than the next guy about my past." I sighed.

"You know stuff about yourself, it's just hidden. Um... Percy?" she asked warily. I had a feeling this was the question she had been on the fence about asking me. "Was there another girl in your dream?" it hit me. Yeah there was.

"now that you mention it, there were a few people but I really only remember one other girl. Blond curly hair, grey eyes—"

"Minerva girl…" Alexis mumbled almost inaudibly.

"She pointed out to me the constellation when it first appeared…. I sorta remember her, but only glimpses… I don't know who she is though…" I frowned deeply, trying to remember, but only resulting with that unrelenting pain between my eyes.

"Percy?" she had another question.

"Yeah, Al?"

"Umm.. I don't know if you'll remember or not… but you said this name in your sleep when I came to get you up… and I really don't know what to make off it but.. well—"

"Al, what is it?"

"Percy, who's Annabeth?" she looked up at me sadly as if the question hurt her to ask, but I didn't have much time to register this. The pain between my eyes was growing unbearable. I caught flashes of memories of the blond haired girl. When we were young, then a few when we were older, there was a couple underwater…

"Percy? PERCY!" Alexis yelled, but I was already slipping. I caught one glimpse of me and the blond girl, it was underwater at night, kissing. And with that in my memory now, I blacked out…

Well? Whatcha think guys? I personally like it, but I might just be delirious considering I finished writing this at 3 o' clock in the morning. Just let me know! And once again there will be no Perxis, only Percabeth!
