Yes, no one was happy with the last chapter. I wasn't either.

Starring Annabeth Chase
Guest Star of Percy Jackson
"Beautiful, don't you think?"
Annabeth snuggled against her boyfriend a bit more, tired. She yawned. "What is this?" she asked him.
"The most intense movie trailer I have ever seen," Percy replied. She cocked her head, thinking about it.
"But it looks so peaceful," she noticed. At that moment, some character said, "The sunrise." Then there was a picture of the earth and of two astronauts in space, staring at a beautiful sunrise.
Annabeth smiled.
Percy shook his head sadly at her innocence.
At 375 miles above the earth…
…the view is… breathtaking.
The music was so calm. Annabeth sighed deeply and closed her eyes, relaxing.
The explosion was so sudden she was jolted awake. She cried out, terrified. Percy held her tighter.
"What happened?" she demanded.
"The shuttle is destroyed by some unseen force," he tried to explain. "Probably Darth Vader and his minions."
Annabeth breathed deeply for a few seconds. "That scared me," she intoned.
"I know."
She turned her attention back to the screen.
"We've been hit!"
"What do we do?!"
DON'T.
Annabeth winced.
LET.
She buried her face in Percy's arm.
GO.
The music made it so terrifying. Annabeth felt for that poor girl stranded in space. Percy was right. The trailer so intense.
Explosions. Annabeth bit her lip and forced herself to look at the screen. Everything was falling apart and plummeting rapidly to earth. That poor astronaut desperately trying to grab on to something…
GRAVITY.
"Anybody… please copy…"
The trailer ended.
"Well, what did you think?" Percy asked.
"That was terrifying," said Annabeth. "I could actually see myself in space… all alone… scared… gods, I'm never becoming an astronaut."
He smiled, hugging her closer. "Any other comments?" he asked.
"Yeah, actually," she replied, sitting up a bit straighter. "What's the plot? The girl's lost in space—so what? Wait!" She snapped her fingers. "Maybe this is one of those flashback movies. You know, where the entire film is just a series of flashbacks before the main character dies." She thought a little more. "Perhaps she runs out of oxygen, or her helmet comes off."
Percy shrugged. "Or maybe it's just them trying to survive in space. I dunno. This hsn't come out yet." He grabbed the remote and turned to something else. "Don't want to see it, actually." He went back to the film he had been watching before.
Annabeth groaned, stuffing her face in a nearby pillow. "Seriously, Percy?" she asked. "Sharknado?"
"Yeah," he replied. "You'll learn to like it."
I had writer's block for this one as well. But I like the next chapter, and I think you will too.
Review!
