A/N: Hey Guys! What... What? I'm actually uploading? *gasp* Sorry sorry sorry *insert as many 'sorrys' as you need to feel better* So I've just been tied up with family and Easter weekend, and during the week I kept trying to think of what would happen in this chapter, but here it is, and I am actually working on the next one, honest. So 1,000+ views, Thanks! And thanks for the follows favs reviews and thanks for not giving up on reading this story yet. So enough of this ramble which I should really stop doing and Read On!

Percy watched one freaked out Leo drop into the Sea of Monsters, in a severed claw. It felt unreal, he'd been here before but nothing like this ever happened. Percy snapped out of his daze and ran the railing, the claw, Leo, both gone, Percy took off his shoes and got ready to dive in until he heard something behind him.

"Percy!" Annabeth yelled over to him, she looked scared out of her mind.

"Annabeth trust me, I'll come back this time."

"Perseus…" Annabeth said with her eyes glazed over, Percy put on the most confident face he could.

"Trust me!" He yelled over to her, the wind and rain making it hard to see and hear. Annabeth nodded. Percy dove into the water, the current was strong and the water was almost black. Percy went with the current for a while, trying to sense anything unusual. Percy looked toward the sea floor and saw it. A massive deformed claw, the monsters claw. Leo fell into the sea in that claw, Percy manipulated the water to make a current push him to the bottom. He surveyed the severed claw, and Leo wasn't in it. He checked the inner part of the claw, those things on the inside of a claw (Percy couldn't remember the name), Percy saw a few of those things were broken or worn out. Could Leo have possibly escaped the claw? Even if he did the current could have washed him away. Percy shook his head and continued to search, avoiding the area were the monster was.

Annabeth's POV:

Annabeth watched Percy dive in, she held her breath as she heard the splash of her Seaweed Brain, jumping into the Sea of Monsters. Annabeth stood there staring at the spot he was until the snake scorpion thing hissed, causing her ears to ring. She turned back to the massive roaring monster, it lost its longer claw, now it was definitely weaker but still had the armor like Achilles. They were fighting a 6 ton monster attacking a 5 ton war ship, they needed a strategy besides throwing pointy things at it. Outside was not working for them, if they could throw a bomb or something when the snake thing opens its mouth maybe they can kill it, Annabeth saw it work once in a video game Percy was playing once. Her thoughts were cut off by a tail about to smush her, Annabeth rolled out-of-the-way and unsheathed her dagger again. She needed an opportunity for it to open its mouth, just then Percy popped out of the water and flopped back on the deck like a dolphin, he got up and willed himself dry, one of the many of his special powers. Annabeth sighed with relief, thank the gods he's alive.

"I can't find him, even for me its to hard to see." Percy said with remorse, Annabeth felt awful, Leo was a good person, a good friend, and kind, it was a shame, but she couldn't let anybody else fall into the sea.

"We'll deal with this later, I'm gonna miss Leo but we have to save his ship for him, it's the least we can do, just get the scorpion snake whatever's mouth open, I'll do the rest from there." Annabeth smiled and gripped her dagger, Percy furrowed his brows at her.

"What are you gonna do?" He said, Annabeth locked eyes with him, his green eyes had the mischievous glint but were concerned.

"Trust me." She smiled, Percy shrugged and yelled the orders to the rest, Frank got out of the water and lied down on deck, Hazel tended to him, as he took deep breaths. Frank stood up, he could barely fight, it must have tired being a shark.

"Frank don't push yourself man the helm." Annabeth said, and made her way closer to Festus the figurehead. Percy nudged Thalia and Jason and said something that Annabeth couldn't here, they both nodded. All three of them kind of yelled a battle cry like, "Ahhhhh," and power came out of them, they had a combined hurricane moment and tried to aim it for the wound where its longer claw was until Clarisse chopped it off. Lightning, water, wind all on the one spot, like a giant hammer made of the elements. The creature moved to the front of the boat and wailed. Perfect opportunity for Annabeth to go threw with her plan, it was probably the most stupidest thing she had ever done in her life. She ran and dove off of Festus's head, and landed on the tongue of the monster, Percy and Grover were screaming their heads off.

"Annabeth!" They both yelled as she entered the thing. It closed its mouth and tried to swallow Annabeth. Two things, one, snake scorpion's mouths do not smell good at all, and two, trying not to be swallowed whole by a monster is like clawing up a wet treadmill on super fast mode and they cover the whole 'throat'. Annabeth dug her celestian bronze knife into the throat of the beast for a hold. The soft wet pink tissue around her jiggled, it was working but she needed to pierce the heart, which meant going lower. She held her breath and removed her dagger and slipped down a disgusting slide. She could feel herself getting closer to the stomach, she stabbed her dagger into a soft part of tissue again, she pushed her limbs against the squishy 'walls' and took the dagger out and sliced, she felt a rhythmic thumping, Annabeth was close to the chest cavern. Slowly and totally grossed out she went into the hole she made and if she remembered correctly from AP Biology in high school, she was out of the Trachea and in the right lung of the snake anatomy, the liver of a fish anatomy or the testis of a scorpion anatomy, for her sake she hoped she was in a lung. Regardless it stank of rotten seafood and was drenched with blood and salvia. Breathing threw her mouth now ao she didn't have to smell anything, Annabeth started cutting anything with her dagger, she felt the creature dying, then she spotted the heart, prayed to any god that was listening, and stabbed it, blood gushed out like a waterfall on her, she definitely killed it or it was just taking its time dying. Some stuff got in her mouth, she spit, and decided she can deal with the smell, but she was done with the crawling around its organs. Now if she planned how to get out that would have been great. Well if she was in the heart chamber, its shell would be one of these walls. Since, Annabeth couldn't tell which way was up, she desperately slashed everything around her like a mad woman until she felt shell, she rammed her dagger on it over and over kicking up her foot trying to crack it. With one final blow she heard a crack, and pushed on it, a piece of the scales/shell broke open and she crawled out then she was falling, the monster was collapsing into the water she lost balanced and fell, but was caught by Jason's wind power, and floated to the deck, Percy was right there, squeezing the life out of her, he kissed her, Annabeth guessed he didn't care that she was covered in monster blood and dust and other stuff.

"That was the most disgusting thing that I've ever done and seen." Annabeth said.

"Even more then the sewers in the Meat Packing district?" He smiled, Annabeth nodded.

"definitely."

"Please don't pull a Bianca and scare don't me like that ever again!" Percy said cradling Annabeth's head close to him.

"Now you know how it feels to be scared out of your mind, and what's pulling a Bianca?" Annabeth asked, Percy smiled as if looking back on a distant memory.

"Oh nothing, you weren't there, you were too busy being captured by a Titan and all." Annabeth scowled at Percy then looked to the left side of the boat where Leo fell in. Reyna was looking over the bar, Piper and Jason next to her. Annabeth and Percy walked over to them, Annabeth had to figure out what they were going to do next.
