A/N: Most of my reviewers were asking for more chapters and hoping the last chapter wasn't the end. I honestly wasn't even thinking of stopping there so don't worry. I won't finish this story unless everything or almost everything is wrapped up.
Shout out to all my reviewers, I LOVE YOU GUYS! Each time I get a review, it makes my day. I literally started jumping up and down when I got emails saying: Downloading 37 emails. Each of them was a review, a story/author alert, or a favourite story/author! You guys make me so happy!
78meg9: I totally agree with you! I just couldn't let Percy go through with that humiliation.
Kiransomers / Joy 10 / Capw8543: Like I said before, Chapter 10 wasn't the last chapter; you'll likely know when it is the last one, so don't worry. Even if this fic doesn't end the way you wanted to, I'll most likely make more Percabeth stories.
ilovepercy: My friends laughed at that too! It just came to mind and I couldn't leave it unwritten!
babycakes2222: I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you're trying to tell me. Could you please specify? I'm really sorry. If you do, I promise I will answer you!
me: Please don't die, that would be very bad for your health.
Well, enough jibber jabber, on with the story! Enjoy!
Chapter 11
Percy's POV
I smiled happily to myself. She remembered. The kiss worked. Aphrodite was right.
I picked up Annabeth bridal style and whistled for Blackjack, my trusty Pegasus.
2 minutes later, what looked like a black bird came flying towards us. As it came closer, it was more obvious that it was a black horse with wings.
Blackjack landed near us, and galloped until he was right beside us.
Hey Boss! Whoa! What happened with this one? Blackjack asked. We better get her straight to Camp. I nodded at him and I placed Annabeth on him and then I climbed on after her. I held her protectively around her slim waist and told the Pegasus that he could go.
..ooOoo..
We flew for about 5 minutes, then the Camp started coming into view.
Once we landed near the Big House, I jumped off Blackjack and picked Annabeth up bridal style. I thanked the Pegasus than ran as best I could to the 3-story tall farmhouse with Annabeth in my arms.
I burst threw the screen door, panting as Chiron's and a few other campers eyes were in me.
The centaur's eyes grew wide at the sight of Annabeth unconscious in my arms. He quickly dismissed the campers and made room for Annabeth on the couch.
He asked for the whole story, so I gave it to him. I had to include the embarrassing dream and kiss in with the story; otherwise my tale wouldn't make sense.
"…and then we got here." I finished.
Chiron just nodded slowly, deep in thought.
"She'll stay here for a while and rest. Why don't you go wash up. Dinner should be ready in an hour."
I nodded and left the Big House. I took a very long and hot shower, thinking over everything that has happened. Then my mind started thinking about Nico and Thalia. I really hoped they were okay. They should be back soon.
I started to get worried. What if they got hurt or died because they went back they way we came? It would be my entire fault because I didn't reason with them that going threw the Underworld with just two people is extremely dangerous.
I started to feel sick to my stomach. I really hope they didn't die. Not just because it would be my fault they died, but also because if Annabeth didn't make it, then I'd have no one. My 3 closest friends would die and I'd be alone…
I just realized how much I hate long showers. They make me think deeply, and that just leads me to depression. So, I turned off the water, got dressed and headed to my cabin.
I was half way there when I heard the dinner horn blow, so I just changed directions and walked towards the Mess Hall.
I sat down at my lonely table and ate slowly. I wasn't hungry. I lost my appetite while I was in the stupid shower.
See? Another reason for me to hate long showers. They could kill me.
As I was deep in thought, I heard two pairs of footsteps walking towards me. I turned around to see who it was and realized that they were my cousins. Each of them equally dirty and twigs stuck in their hair.
I sprung from my seat and hugged Thalia while I bro-hugged Nico.
"Thank Gods you guys are alive. I was really getting worried about you two!" I exclaimed.
"We're big kids Perc! You should've known that we could handle ourselves!" Thalia said.
I just rolled my eyes as the three of us sat down at the Poseidon table. Usually this isn't allowed, but Chiron understood our reasons.
I told them my story and all that I knew. Then I begged them to tell me their side of the story.
"Well," Thalia started. "There isn't much to it. We tried to go back the way we came, but we didn't know how to cross the River Styx. So, we got a little help from Persephone, and she gave us pearls to take us back to the surface. We used them, but them we fell into a bush and rolled down the hill we landed on. We got a cab, came here, then voila! Here we are!"
I smiled at her summary of what happened to them.
Someone came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to face a small camper about the age of 11.
"Mr. Percy?" They asked. I nodded. "Mr. Chiron asked for you to come to the Big House. He said it was important."
I immediately thought of Annabeth. I jumped out of my seat and ran towards the Big House, yelling my thanks to the kid on the way over.
I burst through the screen door and sped walked over to where Annabeth lied on the couch.
I sat down beside her and looked at her face. Suddenly, her eyelids slowly started to open…
A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry for the cliffhanger!
I just wanted to say that the next chapter will be the last or second last. Depending on how I'm feeling. So, yeah. PERCABETH FOREVER!
