Okay guys thanks for all the reviews! My goal is to get 100 reviews for my story!! Woo hoo!!!! So anyway I'm sure you guys all loved my mean evil cliffhanger last chapter so I'm going to be a nice person and update. As you all can tell I'm making it a point to update once everyday. So now we continue where we left off.
Percy's POV:
I turned around and ducked instinctively and felt something pass a hairsbreadth away from my head. I turned and saw a fury floating in the air getting ready for another attack. She looked exactly the same as when I first saw her all those years ago when I was just 12. She was an old hag with wings and a mouth full of yellow fangs. By the looks of her, she seemed hungry and irritated.
"Annabeth! Run!" I shouted. I saw her pull her cap out and vanish with her bronze dagger tightly gripped in her hand. I started charging towards the fury but she seemed to have lost interest in me. She was frantically trying to find Annabeth.
Why would she want Annabeth so badly as to forget all about me? I didn't stop to think about it. If the fury was after Annabeth that meant I had to protect her, I was not about to let it get her. Heck, I wouldn't let it touch a hair on her beautiful head. I swung riptide at the fury and right before I was about to decapitate her she moved out of harms way and continued searching for Annabeth.
Then, I saw a bronze dagger fly through the air straight towards the fury but it missed and soon after the fury chased down Annabeth and had her in its clutches.
"My master will be most pleased." The fury hissed.
"Let her go!" I screamed. I ran and tried to stab her with riptide but something hit me in the back of the head and the last thing I remembered before I blacked out was Annabeth screaming,
"Percy!!!!!"
Annabeth's POV:
I watched in horror as the fury took me away and left Percy unconscious on the side of the road. I was screaming, kicking and clawing trying to get myself free but after a while of no success I decided to stop.
"What are you going to do to me?" I asked the fury with as much resentment in my voice as I could possibly muster.
"The master wished for me to hasten your journey to the underworld. He feels that the wise one has overstepped her bounds and does not wish to take part in anything of the likes of what she is forcing upon you child. If it were up to me I would have you all for dinner but I must obey the master now mustn't I?" the fury hissed at me. I got my explanation and I didn't want to keep talking to the thing so I shut up and did my best to fall asleep. I'd need my energy or what was coming but every time I closed my eyes I saw a picture of Percy lying on the side of the road.
What if a car ran over him? I thought. I quickly stopped myself there before I could conjure up any other nightmarish images.
I miss him. I thought to myself. And the more I thought it the more depressed I became. It would probably be a long time until I get to see him again. That is, if I survive what's coming. Before I knew it exhaustion hit me and I fell asleep.
I woke up and looked around me. I was in Hades throne room and he sat upon his throne gazing down at me with a look of pity on his face. I got up and faced him,
"You wished to see me Lord Hades?" I asked. It took him a bit to answer but finally he said,
"Annabeth, welcome. As I'm sure you know Athena's rather rash action about you and Percy's relationship has stirred up the gods. I wanted to bring you here to help."
"Thank Lord Hades but how? Will you show me where my identity is?" I asked hopefully.
"Not quite. Percy has just arrived and is being escorted here as we speak. I really think this is really stupid and would like to fix this mess before it turns into an all out war. So, I've arranged for your mother to come and hopefully we'll settle this dispute without bloodshed or any further harm done." Hades explained. I had never had such clashing emotions before. On one hand I was relieved Percy was alright but on the other hand I was absolutely terrified of my mother coming down to solve this. She had just disowned me, I'm pretty sure she was finished and over the whole me being her daughter thing. Apparently the rest of the gods weren't. I tried to remember but I couldn't come up with one instance where another demigod was disowned by his immortal parent. This was not great news because if that child had been disowned it meant that it was never taken back or else she would remember it.
I sat grappling my thoughts of despair until I heard running and I looked up and saw Percy running to me as fast as he could.
"Seaweed brain!" I yelled. I was so happy he had come for me. I saw his face light up when I called him and I started running to him.
"Annabeth!" he yelled back. I ran into his arms and he held me tightly. It felt so good to be with him. Everything felt right. I looked up at him and he kissed me. We held there until we needed air. We broke apart and he whispered,
"I missed you wise girl."
"I missed you too seaweed brain." I said looking up and smiling at him. I heard a loud crack and turned around. I saw my mom standing not 5 feet away from me and Percy and she looked pretty angry…
Alright guys, sadly there won't be many more chapters left unless I can think of a twist so my fan fic will only last a bit longer. So if you want me to update I want at least 5 reviews. You guys are doing so awesome with the reviews so keep them coming!
Until next time,
peace
