Ahahahahahahaha! I finished it! Hah! Okay, I might make a little sequel thing. Maybe. But, yeah! Here you go and hope it's not a disappointment D: Oh, and this chapter is in Percy's Point of Veiw. Enjoy!

I hurt. I don't know why nor could I remember why. It was like I was ran over by a sumo truck and then it backed up on me. I opened my eye and say nothing. Literally nothing. Everything was pitch black, as if I hadn't even opened my eyes at all. I turned my head to see if there was any difference. Nothing. Feeling disturbed, I stood up. Or, at least I think I did. There was no true ground, it was like I was standing on nothingness. I looked around, trying to see if there was any light or anything. This was a rather odd experience.

"Percy?"

I turned around sharply, shocked. A blonde female was standing in front of me. Her hair was a messy ponytail, and her gray eyes looked exhausted. And yet, even now she still look beautiful. But, what was she doing here? "Annabeth?"

She suddenly broke into a huge grin, one that was completely contagious, and barreled right into me, her arms squeezing me tightly. Having the breath knocked from me, I was at first a little surprise, but I returned the hug. "Annabeth? Where are we?" I asked, feeling completely lost.

Annabeth backed up and laughed nervously. "Well, we're basically in your mind. Like, your conscious."

I stared at her with a blank expression, not getting what she was saying. "Are you saying my head's empty or something?"

She laughed out loud, a laugh I missed. "No! It's a conscious. You know what, never mind – not important. What is important is that we're getting you back. But . . ." she said slowly, "It might sting."

I furrowed my eyes at her. Could she confused me any more then she's already have? Before I can react, however, she suddenly grabbed my wrist. Now, people? When someone say that it might sting, be prepare for it to feel like your wrist is burning off. But before I could do something about it, it vanish. As in, everything vanish. The next time I know, I was laying on my back with a killer headache.

I opened my eyes and were greeted with two pair of eyes staring down at me. It took me a moment to registered that it was Nico and Annabeth. I looked around as my vision slowly came into focus. Annabeth was on my right, looking both relief and worried, and Nico was on my left, looking paler then normal. I absently wondered what he did to cause it.

"You okay, Perce?"

"I feel prettier then you look," I said, jokingly. Actually, if I was being honest, he looked way more pretty then I felt. Yes, I, a male, just said pretty. Oh well. I sat up, stretching my sore muscles. How long have I been out? I ran my hands through me hair. Just a little long, not that much. Still need a hair cut. "Help me up," I said, eager to get off from the hard ground. Both Nico and Annabeth stood up and took me by my arms. At first, I stumbled and would've fallen if Nico hadn't caught me. And holy cow, that kid has grown! He's almost as tall as me!

"Easy there, you might feel odd," Nico said. Now that he mentioned it, I did. I eyed Nico and Annabeth suspiciously.

"What did you two do?"

They looked at each other before looking at me.

"We brought you back," Nico said simply. Before I could reply, though, Annabeth beat me to it.

"Nico found this old little spell that could bring you back. The only way we did so, however, is because you has the Achilles' Heel. Now, as you may notice, you don't."

Huh, they're right. I do notice. It was like my skin was a lot more sensitive. Annabeth and Nico both wrapped my arms around their necks to help me walk (or rather, limp). I looked around as they helped me. It looked like we were in a basement. Wanting to break the silence, I asked Annabeth if anything changed when I was gone.

"Well, there was less monster attacks. Pretty much the same," she said, indifferent like. I felt a slight bit disappointed. Nothing changed?

"Oh. Well," I said slowly. "Did anyone miss me?"

Annabeth laughed at the tone of voice I used. "Oh, Seaweed Brain, of course I missed you! And so did everyone else. Even Nico."

"Right guys, enough sweet talk or I'll be sick," Nico muttered softly. Yep, still a kid. Annabeth and I laughed at his face expression. Oh, this age group is fun!

As the two continued to drag me to the door, Annabeth chuckled soft and said, "Percy?"

"Yeah?" wondering what she wanted this time.

"Welcome back."
