"Percy, what's wrong with you?" I whispered as we walked out the doors of the Big House.

"Everything's wrong. I don't know what's going on, but it's not good. I don't know how to handle this."

"You don't? Well, Percy, we can figure this out. Don't do this, don't hide me in the Big House. We both know the only way to keep them safe is to fight. Our best fighters need to be out there, not hiding in the back round."

"I hate this, Annabeth! I don't know what to do, Wise Girl. I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what's going on. I just need you to be safe."

"Percy, I know you're scared, but I am too. You can't do this. I'm not going to hide anymore. I can fight this war too, Percy. We both know I've fought. You know I can do this, Percy, and I can't watch you fight this battle alone."

"But... Annabeth..."

"No, Percy. Don't say but." I whispered, stepping closer to him. "Don't say no, don't protest. How safe will we be if we are both worried about the other. We will be safer and we will fight better together." I told him cupping his face with my hands. "Don't separate us..we should be together." I whispered. His arms wrapped around me and leaned down to kiss me.

"I love you, Annabeth." He whispered, slipping his face into the crook of my neck.

"I love you, Percy." I told him, pulling his face back to mine. I pressed my lips against his again, smiling into his lips. I slipped my into his hair, gripping it down to the roots and pulling him closer. "You've got to go..." I muttered, frowning quietly.

"I wish I didn't.." He grumbled back. "I'll be back in five minutes.. I promise."

"Ahhhh!" The shriek that flew through my mouth was amazingly loud. "Oh my gods, oh my gods, Percy!"

"Annabeth, what's wrong?" His voice asked as he smiled sweetly.

"Annabeth? What's wrong, Wise Girl?" Percy said, rounding the corner. His eyes went angrily wide. "Jason?"

"Hi Percy." Jason said, smiling at me. His face was ghostly pale and his eyes eyes were black, but some how still warm"Where is everyone? And what's wrong?"

"Jason. You're dead." The words fell from my lips as I took two steps close to Percy.

"No, I'm not! I'm fine, see?" He stepped closer to me, but I growled, slipping closer to Percy.

"No! You're dead." I said again.

"How can I be dead? I'm standing right here." He disagreed.

Percy's arm curled around me and he pushed me back. "Go." He growled in my ear.

"No, Percy." I growled back. "I'm not leaving."

"Annabeth."

"No."

"Um...guys could you tell me what's going on?" Jason interjected, a deep frown on his face.

"How are you alive?" Percy asked, slipping his body between Jason's and mine.

"I don't know..." He closed his eyes and then they snapped back open. His eyes were bright red, vivid, evil.

"What the Hades?" I almost yelled.

"Annabeth. Go inside. Now." Percy growled at me.

"I'm not leaving you, Percy!"

"Annabeth, please listen to me."

"No, Percy."

"Come on, guys. What's wrong? It's just me." Jason said, frowning.

"Is it?" Percy's eyes were glowing, green with anger.

"Yes."

"Then who was it that I berried yesterday?"

"Oh, that was me..."

"What does that even mean?"

"I'm not sure myself."

"How can this be?" Katie's voice whispered, appearing from the inside of the Big House.

"Katie.." I mumbled, trailing off.

"Annabeth, you see it, too..don't you?" Her voice trembled.

I looked at him. My stomach turned to stone. He was so pale. Too pale and his eyes were black, staring at us with hate. "Oh my gods."

"What?" Percy growled, eyes darting from person to person.

"He's a vampire." Katie mumbled, stumbling back into the Big House.
