Well, okay then, I'm back. I'm going to have to make this a quickie! Sorry!
Annabeth's POV
By the time Percy lead us back to the cabin, I was in the depths of the Isles of Blest. (Is that what it's called?)
We had danced for a long time, and everything wrong between had just disappeared. I wasn't mad, and Percy didn't care anymore about how mean I had been acting. Everything was just perfect, and I didn't want to say a single word to ruin the fantabulous night.
Until I suddenly remembered my duties as a "mother."
"Oh no!" I pulled from Percy reluctantly.
"What's the matter?" He asked, concerned.
"The kids! What if all the loud noise from the horn and the parties that are going on have woken them up?" I asked. I felt very bad, knowing that I had totally forgotten about the rest of my "family."
Percy frowned. "You're right."
"Was there ever any doubt?" I teased softly. "It's okay, I'll go talk to the captain about it. You go back to bed. I'll join you in a few minutes."
Percy didn't look as though he wanted me to leave him, but I kissed him on the cheek and he nodded. "Alright."
I got up to go find the way to the captain's quarters, hoping he wouldn't mind.
"Be careful." Percy called after me.
"I always am." I told him sweetly, before melting into the shadows so that he couldn't follow me. The loyal boy would make sure I got to the cabin first before he even thought about changing out of his uncomfortable tuxedo.
I watched him go back to our cabin uncertainly. After he was gone, I headed over to a crew member.
"Excuse me." I smoothly explained my worry.
The man nodded and motioned me over to an empty hallway.
"Our captain's room is just at the end. It is the last door." The man told me in a raspy voice.
I thanked him and began the walk down the dimly lit hallway to the only door at the end. My footsteps echoed down the hallway, and I very suddenly got shivers down my spine.
I refused to give in to my irrational fears, and continued down the hallway. When I at last reached the door, I raised my hand to knock, when the door creaked open.
I stuck my head in. "Um, excuse me, Mr. Captain-"
I broke off. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and everything went dark.
