I Go Cliff Diving

Disclaimer: I DON'T own P.J.O. or any of the characters.

Ok so again I'm really really really sorry. I will try and be better with updating. Honestly. Don't kill me. Well here it is…finally. Enjoy .

The ground was really hard as I woke up. I shivered against the wall and another body. I looked around myself opening my eyes to find myself still in the musty cell. Annabeth was asleep holding onto my left arm as I was squished against the wall to my right.

I sat up shifting Annabeth to lie on my lap so she wouldn't wake up. My scar hurt worse than yesterday. It was red and starting to swell. I figured it was infected. Great, just what I needed.

Annabeth mumbled something than shifted in my lap. Her face was facing me when her eyes opened to stare straight at mine. Her eyes went wide and she sat up quickly.

Her hair was in knots and her eyes still looked tired. A scar crossed her forehead, her eye was black and swollen, her lip was cut in two places, and little cuts covered her beauty but she still managed to make me blush when she looked at me.

"What?" I blinked.

"Nothing." She looked me over a second before putting her hair back up.

"So did you manage to think of anything while I was asleep?" She asked me before standing up to stretch out.

"Not a thing. I just woke up myself." Her eyes seemed to get even more tired.

"Maybe we can think of something today." She sat back down at the opposite side of the cell and stretched her legs. Just as she got settled the door slammed open.

"Get up!" The guard from yesterday was back and held two pieces of cloth in his hands. He yanked Annabeth up by the arm and turned her around, pushing her up against the wall. He tied her hands in thick rope and wrapped the black cloth around her eyes. He turned to me.

"Didn't you hear me? Get up!" He kicked me in the legs until I was up and against the wall, causing my scar to burn. He tied the scratchy rope fairly tight around my already hurting hands. The blind fold pulls my hair as he knots it at the back of my head.

"Percy! Let's play a Memory game!" I hear Annabeth yell as someone starts pushing me out the door. I had no idea what she meant. I thought hard as I was shoved forward and turned right down another corridor. Right turn. That's it! Right turn, straight five steps, another right and another. It was a lot brighter here. Even though the blind fold was over my eyes the light hurt. We stopped and someone shoved me to my knees onto stone. They pulled the blind fold from my eyes and pulled my head up by yanking my hair.

The room looked like it was a big whole cut out from the side of a cliff. The rough walls were black and the air smelt of salt. Four windows on the opposite wall shown with bright light out over the sea and that's when I realized it was exactly that: a hole in the cliff side.

Luke leaned against a wood desk with his legs crossed. He was smiling. His scar was puffy and a sickly shade of green. His eyes still golden from the last time I'd seen him. His sword hung at his belt which looked odd since he was wearing jeans and a blue button up shirt, with flip flops. The fake Annabeth sat at his desk smiling at me.

"What do you want know?" Only then I realized Annabeth was kneeling next to me. Luke- I guess Kronos- smiled and walked over to Annabeth. He reached out to touch her face but she pulled away. He laughed.

"What a pity. You would've been such a great help to me."

"I would never help you. Not in a million years."

"Oh that's what you think."
"What do you mean?" Annabeth asked as if shed heard this before.

"You already have helped me. Don't you see? We have young Percy here all thanks to you." Annabeth kept her mouth shut.

"That doesn't mean a thing if your to afraid to kill me Kronos." He looked at me a chuckled deeply.

"Oh I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to let you watch me kill your friends first. Starting with our young daughter of Athena here." I lunged forward but was knocked down by a hit in the back of the head. I heard Annabeth wince.

"Don't you know theres no way to win now boy?" My mind was fuzzy and my senses started to dull. I was so tired I was about ready to let go of my thoughts.

"Percy, look to the sea." I heard my father's voice in my head. I took a deep breath and sat back up. Blood started to run down my bare back. I thought long and hard for a few moments.

"Annabeth take a deep breath when I count to five ok?" I whispered quietly as possible. She gave the slightest nod.

"No talking!" The fake Annabeth shouted. Kronos walked forward to Annabeth. He bent down to stare at her face to face. Annabeth stared back at him with a hard face and hate in her eyes.

"You die first. Bring her forward." The guard picked her up by the arms and shoved her forward. He kicked her behind the knees making her collapse to the floor.

I started to count to five in my head my nerves racing. One: I felt the familiar tug in my gut.

Two: the waves started crashing higher and higher up the cliff.

Three: Luke pulled Annabeth up by her hair as the air started to go misty with salt water.

Four: I could see the waves through the window.

"Say good bye Jackson." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes…Five.

"Five!" Annabeth took a deep breath and closed her eyes. The waves crashed through the windows. Everything went crazy with chaos. The guards rushed forward to grab me but there feet were swept out from under them.

"No!" Kronos yelled. His scythe was swept away and I had to dodge to avoid it as the whole cave was filled with water. Annabeth's eyes were still closed as I willed the water to push me to her. The fake Annabeth rushed forward to stop me but was to slow as I propelled me and Annabeth out of the small hole that used to be a window and out into the open air. We were falling fast as air rushed past us down the very high drop. The Princess Andromeda anchored below us. Before we hit the water I willed it to reach up and catch us. We landed softly as we sank lower and lower next to the Princess Andromeda. I pulled Annabeth up to the surface.

I looked up to see Kronos leaning over the edge.

"Get them!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Monsters looked over the edge of the boat. I looked at Annabeth.

"Ready?" She nodded and held on tight to me as I willed the water to propel us forward as quickly as possible toward camp, and away from a screaming Kronos.

I woke up extremely sore on the beach of camp half blood. Annabeth was next to me breathing deeply. Her hair entangled with sand and her clothes drenched. I shook her softly.

"Annabeth, Annabeth wake up. Come on." She slowly opened her eyes to look at me.

"Did we make it back?" I nodded at her. The conch horn blew for dinner in the distance.

"Are you ok to walk?" I asked her. She nodded. I stood up and reached for her hand to help her up. She stumbled a little and I caught her. I looked at her.

"Just dizzy, come on. We need to find Chiron." We walked up the beach slowly and we both limped a little. We walked past the cabins and up the steps to dinner. Chiron had his glassed raised at the front tables.

"To the-." He looked at me and his eyes got wide. Everyone turned to see what he was looking at. A gasp went through the crowd.

"Hey guys." I spoke up.
