Chapter 12 :Gills, gills, and fins: (Annabeth)
I woke up, I was leading this quest but we couldn't bring Rachel! Mr. Chiron seemed nervous about that. Hmm, we figured out the first part. Me, Carter, Sadie, Percy, and Grover has to go! Will go on an journey. Okay, we are going on a journey! In the tunnels, Okay it's the labyrinth! So obvious, To save the Son of Hades. Nico! And the Daughter of Hermes! Anne Walker, She's in a comma! They must stop the awaked god, so the idiot goddess of waking up eh? To save the day! Well, I like that last line! To save they day! "Annabeth?" I jumped. It was Percy, "Sorry, we leave in a couple of minutes. Have you packed?" He asked. I nodded and pointed to my bag, "Okay. We meet at 12 P.M. Sharp" Percy said and left. Not everyone knew about this quest. We want to keep it a secret! The only people who know are the Head Counsellors, Malcolm, and Thalia. I sighed an d picked up my pack and walked to the spot! "Hello Annabeth! Now to go in!" Sadie said and pressed the button, nothing happened. "Oi! A demigod need's to press it!" I growled and pushed Sadie aside. I hate her! If she even makes a move on my seaweed brain she is dead! I pressed the button, nothing happened. "Sometimes it doesn't work!" Percy called out. Okay, sometimes it doesn't work! Fine! I pressed it again, "Hmm" Percy said and walked up, he pressed the button and sure enough, it worked! "Ladies first!" Carter and Grover both said at the same time, "Fine!" Sadie snapped, I walked in. Then Percy, then Grover, then Sadie, and then Carter. "Okay! Stick to the left wall!" I called out, "But that failed last time! Remember?" Percy asked, "Shut it Seaweed Brain" I snapped, "I'm just saying we should go to the Right! I mean, I feel the Water from the right!" Percy insisted, "What's so good about the right?" Sadie snapped, "Wait! Percy when you pressed the button it worked! But it turned a Sea-Blue! An, and now you're saying we should go right? You should Lead!" I said and let him pass. We turned right, left, left, left, right, right, strait, right, left and voila! We entered a room. And Percy, Grover, and I stopped dead. "How is this possible?" I squeaked out, "That LYING, THIEVING, SON OF A JACKLE!" "Watch it" Sadie muttered, "This can't be! Grover bleated, "What's so wrong about a room?" Carter asked, "Kronos! I, I'll tell you everything! Start to finnish! It started when Percy came to camp ..." So I told them. Everything! "Oh! Hey Percy why'd yo- Percy, PERCY!" Sadie shouted. I turned and gasped, Percy was gone. Grover seemed dazed, "Goat boy! What happened?" I snarled, "I dunno!" I couldn't breath after that! I'm not kidding, I fainted from the lack of oxygen.
"Jeez! Annabeth! Annabeth!" I woke up to see Carter, Sadie, and Grover standing over me. "I'm fine!" I stood up and sighed, "Our guide and m-my seaweed brain is gone! So, I'm back to leading I suppose"
Percy's POV
I was falling! I screamed my lungs out already, I wonder if Annabeth was okay! I gulped, I could image her face! The anger! The guilt! I've been falling from the moment she started the Battle of the Labyrinth! Gods! Have mercy on me! All I can do is fall and fall and fall! What about Camp? Will it be okay? I mean I'm gonna die! When I hit the ground if the pressure doesn't kill me then the ground will break my neck! I mean I'm Peruses Jackson! Son of Poseidon! Savour of Olympus! One of the Seven! So how did this happen? Let's see! I fell into a hole! Which opened up right where I was standing! Oh man! Annabeth is gonna be peeped! What the hell? Is that Nico and Anne? I saw them clearly, they were walking across a dried out lake!
Nico's POV
Why did bad luck always happen to me? "NICO! ANNE!" I looked up to see Percy falling. Then he hit the lake! "Oh gods Percy! You okay?" Anne asked, her blue eyes round. I bit my lip! It was a true fact that Anne had a crush on Percy, "Yeah ... I'm fine! I survived didn't I! Where are we?" Percy asked, "Uh ... you do not want to know!" I snapped, "How come?" Percy asked, "'Cause you better get out of here now!" Anne snapped, "What happened Percy?" I asked, "Oh. We found a way into the Labyrinth and we started a quest! So ya, nothing much" Percy said and shrugged, "Really? Cause we are on a que-" I put my hand over Anne's mouth, "Anyways. Just think Labyrinth" I snapped, "That should get you there!"
Percy's POV
I did think Labyrinth and suddenly the sence changed and I was back in the Maze, "OH MY GODS!" Annabeth screamed. Crap! I popped up right in front of her! "Sorry! I feel in a hole, then I popped back here" I said, "Jeez Seaweed brain! Scared me half to death! HALF TO DEATH!" Annabeth shouted, "Now lead!" I moaned. I couldn't feel the ocean anymore. I thought hard for a bit then started move. We took a left and Carter and Sadie gasped, "Is that Horus? And Isis? And Set? And the Red Pyramid? A-And is that Dad? And is th-that us?" Sadie asked. I looked at the left wall. There was a Red Pyramid, An Falcon headed god, a red god, a beautiful goddess, half way man-half way god (On one side he looked man. On the other god) and there was Sadie and Carter. Carter had a curved sword out fighting the red god, Sadie was holding a stick in the middle of a shout. The Falcon dude and the Goddess were punching the Pyramid to pieces, and the half man-half god was fighting for his life. It was so pretty, "Carter! Thats the fight we had!" Sadie squeaked, "Our first major fight!" I couldn't believe it! I turned around and yelped in surprise. The right wall had Me, Grover, and Annabeth. I was holding a lightning bolt bowing down to the gods, while Annabeth and Grover stood at a side, "Is that you three?" Sadie asked, "Yeah. Returning the bolt" I muttered, "Cool! I can't believe how cool it looks!" Sadie said. I noticed Annabeth glaring at Sadie. "Hello Annabeth!" We turned around to the way we came in. There she was, evil, and deadly! Arachne! "You w-weaved a-all th-this?" Annabeth asked and took a step back, "Yes! How do you like it?" Arachne asked, "N-Not wor-worthy of Athena!" Annabeth stammered, I pulled out Riptide and uncapped it, "Leave Annabeth alone Arachne!" I growled and took a step forward, "Oh! Brave Son of Poseidon! Remember? I cast you and Annabeth down, whats that place called?" Arachne asked, I mouthed a Go to Annabeth and Sadie, "Strange. I have seem to forgotten!" Arachne hissed, "Really? Why would you forget? It is your home!" I snarled. I noticed Annabeth and Sadie backing up slowly, "Leave that place out of this Percy!" Arachne snapped, "Why? You started to t-talk about it!" I managed to say. Inside I was bubbling with anger, "Oh what! You scared? To take on a spider?" Arachne asked, "Hey! Where's Annabeth?" She then asked, "Long gone!" Grover bleated, "I was in a mood for an Athena snack! But now a Poseidon snack will have to do" I swallowed nervously. Arachne took a step towards me. Carter, Grover, and I were out of there dragging along Annabeth and Sadie who was standing at the door. We dragged them through a couple of tunnels before we collapsed in a room, "Annabeth! Remember this place?" I asked, "I do!" Annabeth said, "We rescued Ethan and brought him here! He left before everyone was awake. Then there was an earthquake!"Annabeth growled. Then I noticed tears forming in her eyes, "It reminds me of Luke!" Annabeth said. And started to cry, "Oh no!" Sadie whispered, "Annabeth, come on! We are leaving this room!" I snapped. We all stood up and left. We then made a left, a right, a right, a left. And we were in Hephaestus workshop. It was abounded and had dust on everything. I picked up a wrench and gulped. This was not normal! "How long has this place been abounded?" I asked, "Maybe since three thousand years ago" Annabeth said and picked up a yellow paper, "Hmm. Airplane instructions. So when man was made, they could fly. Yup, around three thousand" Suddenly Annabeth screamed and dropped the paper. Then stepped on something on the ground, "I hate spiders!" Annabeth muttered, "Spies for Arachne!" I hissed under my breath
