Hi guys and gals. Okay now I am going to tell you that I do not own any part of Percy Jackson. Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Special thanks to my fan of the week:

~PoppyOhare

Thank you all for your kind reviews, they help me to improve my story, now on with the show... Oh and I want to let everyone know that I start off the Persons POV in past tense to let you know what happened and then it goes to present tense. I will put the past tense stuff in italics from now on.

Now before I continue I want all of those single girls, who think something is wrong with them to read the following message, thank you:

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best of apples
are at the top of the tree
but the boys don't want to
reach for the good ones because
they are afraid of falling and getting
hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten
apples from the ground that aren't quite as
good, but are easy to reach. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.

Thank you now enjoy the story.

Nico's POV:

When I walked into the room, it broke my heart. Will was frowning and Apollo was trying to hold back tears. Artemis was frowning while handing Apollo a cup of water.

Annabeth was barely alive. Her pulse was lower than it should be and her legs were both wrapped in gauze that was turning red by the minute. Her arms were limp and off to the side. She had stitches all over her face and on every inch of visible skin. Smeared blood was all over the sheets and her clothes and skin. Her eyes were closed and she was barely breathing. She kept mumbling, "Thalia...Luke...Luke says... says sorry..."

Percy's eyes were dim and full of regret. No doubt he blamed himself for what happened. As soon as Percy seen Annabeth he walked out, Thalia walked in and I ran after Percy.

He had made it outside of Apollo's palace and was already down by the water.

I run up to him, "Percy!" I yell. He looks back at me, eyes full of tears and anger, He starts to run off. I roll my eyes, knowing he heard me, I try to shadow travel and I can't even go 2 inches before I start coughing up blood. My hands turn to vapor and it becomes increasingly hard to breathe.

Percy turns around with an angry expression on his face. When he looks at me his anger fades and he runs toward me. "Nico!" He yells when he reaches me.

"What.. What happened... was it my fault?" He stammers looking at me with concern.

"No.. No it wasn't.." I say between coughs.

Percy helps me up and acts as my crutch back to Annabeth's Hospital room.

When Will's eyes narrow on me he scrunches up his lips into a bigger frown.

"Nico Di-Angelo! What did you do!?" He says when I lay down on the hospital bed.

"Tried to... shadow travel to Percy-*deep breath*-thought he was gonna kill himself because he... blames himself for Annabeth- Yada Yada- Coughed up blood- got super dizzy- could barely breathe... still can barely breathe." I say between giant gulps of air. Will's eyes flicker with worry.

"I will be right back don't go anywhere okay." Will says trying to keep himself calm. "Will I'll come with you." I say getting ready to stand. I go to stand but only fall back onto the bed.

"Never mind I'll just stay right here." I say laying down and closing my eyes. "I'll stay with him Will don't worry." Percy calls after him. Will holds a thumbs up in the air as he walks down the hallway.

Annabeth stirs and mumbles, "Per-Percy?"

Artemis and Thalia both look up and Apollo smiles to himself.

Apollo pulls the hospital bed that I am in out of the room, Artemis and Thalia walk out after them and shut the doors. Will comes back like two seconds later and stops in his tracks, "Why are we all waiting out here?" He asks looking at his dad. Apollo smiles and simply says, "They needed some alone time."

Will smirks and says, "Alright, how about we transport our patient into another room."

Apollo gives him a thumbs up and shoos the both of us out of the waiting room. Will pushes the hospital bed into a room with not a lot of light.

"Will, this room is so... Dark." I say looking at him. He laughs, "About a year ago if I put you in any room lighter than this you would have a fit."

I try to frown but I end up laughing and I reach for his hand and hold it. He moves closer and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Well maybe that's because I needed someone to show me the light..." I pause looking up at him with a smile, I look back down and continue, "Maybe I needed someone to show me how perfect the light was for me" I look back up at Will who is grinning staring into my eyes. "Maybe I needed someone to cleanse the darkness that is inside of me and replace it with the light I have always needed."

Will pulls me into a hug and whispers, "Death boy, I will always be there to show you the light, just let me know when you need it."

I whisper back, "I need it now." He pulls back a little and then kisses my nose. He then gets up and opens up the curtains, letting light seep into the room. He comes back and sits down next to me, putting his arm around my shoulder and turning on the T.V. so we can watch something together. I am really glad that I have him.

Percy's POV

Annabeth stirs and says my name. The others leave so that we can have alone time. As soon as they leave I rush to her side.

"Annabeth?" I say, searching her face for signs of anything. Her hand reaches out to find me and I grab it, lacing my fingers through hers.

"Per-*cough-cough* Percy?" She whispers, eyes still closed.

"I am right here Annabeth, I-I'm sorry." I try to find words. I'm sorry doesn't really cut it. A giant captures me and then hurts her a lot more than I care to say...Especially since it was my fault. She, still wounded, fought him alone for about three minutes, it felt like three hours. Then he throws her super far, across the forest and somehow she is able to limp half of the way back to us, with her eyes closed.

Then she kept mumbling Luke, which honestly kind of scared me, what if she started... never mind...

Annabeth squeezes my hand, "Percy there is- nothing to be sor-sorry about. Please don't be, please. When you apologize, it just... makes me feel bad.. I made you feel bad... I know that is a stupid way to think but..."

I lean forward and kiss her. Her eyes flutter open slowly and she tries to reach her hands up to put them on my face but winces in pain, deciding to leave them down.

"Annabeth, I love everything about you, remember, 'All your perfect imperfections.' I always have and always will love you. I promise." I stare into her now open eyes and watch them sparkle, tears dance in her eyes and one drips down onto her cheek.

I reach my hand up to cup her cheek and wipe the tear away. "Don't cry my Wise Girl. I will always be here to make you better." I pull her forward into a hug and she nuzzles her head into my neck.

"Percy." She whispers. "Don't let me go this time." I smile, "I wont, I promise." I position my self on the bed so that her head is on my chest and my arm is around her shoulders. I hurt her a little because I move her legs. "Sorry..." I whisper. She waves me off and then She whispers, closing her eyes, "I love you Percy."

"Love you too Annabeth, sleep well."

"Oh, We still haven't opened out wedding presents," She yawns. "I know, tomorrow.. Now.. Sleep... Okay" I yawn back. "Alright, night Percy." She says before falling asleep.

Piper's POV:

Jason, Nerrissa, Lizzie and I are close to Camp half blood. 'Mom' Transported us to New York City after the weddings, We actually transported right to Leo's Machine shop.

He welcomed us with open arms and some cider and stew. We all decided to go to Camp Half blood. It got dark on the way so we stopped by a tree, for some rest.

I curl into Jason's arms as the fire crackles. Nerrissa and Lizzie are on the other side of the fire leaning up against a tree. Calypso is curled up in Leo's arms and is fast asleep.

Leo smiles at me and I smile back. Jason's arm loosens a bit and I feel him fall asleep. I pull his arm off of me and he tenses before I whisper, "I just have to grab something, go back to sleep."

Jason's breathing steadies and he leans back again. I get up and walk over to my bag. I pull out a water bottle and take a sip when I hear a sound I grab my knife and go to look. I peek around the tree and hear someone call my name. I turn around and find an IM with Thalia on it. Her eyes look sad and happy at the same time.

She looked like she had been through battle. There was blood on her arms and her hands but there were no cuts on her. I sheath my knife before saying with a smile, "Hi Thalia, If your hoping to talk to Jason, he's sleeping, what'cha need?"

She looks down and then back up, "Well, I figured I should update you on Annabeth's condition." My smile melts, "What do you mean? What happened?"

Panic rushes through my body, "Nico didn't tell you?" Thalia says, annoyance in her voice, "I told that little son of a-" She looks at me and then says, "-Uh- Hades- to tell you."

I look down and take a deep breath, "Well, what happened?"

"She was amazing, Percy, being the kelp-head that he is got captured by a giant. Annabeth stalled for easily 10 minutes, Percy said it felt like hours because he was in a little net, but whatever. Artemis appeared with us, her hunters and Annabeth made us rescue Percy before we even thought about rescuing her. Artemis listened to Annabeth and then Ares appeared. Annabeth threw him his shield and he fought the Giant for a while. Then monster finally decided that he had had enough and he charged at Percy. Annabeth surged with new strength and fought the monster, running around in between his legs, slashing as his ankles. Polybetes threw her across the forest and-and she got hurt-hurt-really bad."

She stops for a deep breath. "She barely made it-She-She nearly died on us, somehow-she made it halfway to us with her eyes closed, she kept mumbling something about Luke. I don't know, but we teleported to Apollo's Palace,it took him hours but he was able to get her steady enough to live."

Tears brim my eyes as she explains Annabeth's condition. She might not be able to walk for the next week, or longer. Apollo can't heal her fully until they find his sacred lyre.

"I have to go, Artemis needs me, uh- Tell Jason I said hello. Bye." Thalia says with a slight smile.

"Bye Thalia. See you soon, on good terms hopefully." I say unsheathing my knife. She swipes her hand through the IM and I turn around pointing my knife directly at the throat of a certain someone who decided to sneak up on me.

"Whoa Beauty Queen, I heard Voices and wanted to make sure you were okay, This is what I get in return." Leo says chuckling with his hands in the air.

I put down the knife and mumble, "Sorry Leo." He tilts his head in concern and then asks, "Is everything okay?"

I take a deep breath and say, "No, Leo. Everything is most defiantly not okay." He looks at the tear streaks that plaster my face and embraces me in a hug.

"What happened?" He asks.

"Leo its- it's Annabeth she-she.." I try to finish my sentence but tears spill from my eyes.

He walks me back to the campfire Where Calypso is cooking something and Jason is covering Nerrissa and Lizzie with the extra blanket.

I smile through my tears and Jason turns around rushing towards me. "Pipes are you okay?" He asks searching my face for any signs of the answer.

I shake my head no and as he hugs me I whisper, "Why does it seem like just as life seems to be getting better something bad happens."

Jason pulls back and asks nervously, "Annabeth?"

I nod and say, "She's Alive, barely. From what Thalia told me she was amazing."

Leo tilts his head, clearly confused and Calypso nearly spills the soup that she is cooking. Mmmm soup sounds good...

Calypso hands everyone a bowl of soup and they all stare at me expectantly. I sigh and begin to tell what Thalia told me.

By the time I finish Calypso cleaned up the food and Nerrissa and Lizzie woke up.

We pack everything up and walk in silence to Camp. Jason squeezes my hand for reassurance along the way. Calypso's eyes are incredibly sad and Leo seems to have lost his energy.

Chiron welcomes us with open arms and asks us to explain our travels. I didn't want to so I walked away. Annabeth and I had grown close on the Argo II and to think that she might die just makes me sad. Imagine how Percy Feels. Those two are meant for each other, I really doubt Percy would move on if Annabeth died on him...

I sit by the lake and sigh. I am super emotional right now. The fact that I missed my period doesn't help, Why on Earth would it not come on time?

I suck in a sharp breath. I haven't gotten my period. It should have come like a week and a half ago and I didn't get it last month... GODS I HATE MY LIFE! Jason waltzes up to where I am sitting, trying to contemplate what is going on inside my head.

"Pipes, you okay? You seem, lost in thought..." He says sitting down next to me. "Jason, don't freak out but I think I am pregnant." I turn to him as I say this slowly. His eyes fill with worry.

"Do.. Do you want to have kids?" He asks me, fiddling with his fingers.

I pull his shirt so his face is inches away from mine. "Jason Grace." I whisper staring into his electric blue eyes, "The only person I would ever want to have kids with is you."

He grins wildly and whispers, "Good, for a second I thought you were mad at me for getting you pregnant."

I push him backwards playfully but he wasn't expecting it so he fell back into the sand. He bursts out laughing as I try to hold back my giggles.

He grabs my hand and pulls me close.

"You know, I haven't exactly told you that I loved you since you became my wife. Just saying." He says with a slight sigh. I smile and surrender to his hug.

"Well have I told you that I am super glad because I got to marry you not once but twice." I whisper into his neck. He hugs me tighter and I close my eyes. I would have fallen asleep, but I heard Annabeth's voice.

"Piper. Jason. I-I need your help." She says as I open my eyes.

"What's wrong Annabeth?" Jason says sitting up. I resist the urge to throw myself at the IM, I want to give her a hug. "Percy he-he ran off, we don't know if it was to get Apollo's lyre or if it was to give himself to-" Her voice breaks and she looks down letting tears fall down her face.

"Give himself to who?" I ask, but I am afraid I already know the answer. Nico's head Pops in, "Tartarus."

Annabeth breaks into a sob, as Nico explains, "Polybetes mentioned that Tartarus promised to leave Annabeth alone if Percy gave himself up as a sacrifice."

"So you want us to find him." I say monotone. Annabeth looks up, mixed emotions plastered on her face. "Piper, Please, you and Jason, please find him, convince him to come back, I need him-I love him, I can't live without him."

READY TIME FOR ALL OF YOU TO GET HIT IN THE FEELS SO MUCH: Preview for next chapter:

I run as fast as I can. Percy's body lay limp on the ground, blood pooled around him. "THE SACRIFICE HAS BEEN MADE!" A voice booms. I look up and the only thought going through my mind was, 'I failed her.'

I know it was a short preview and sorry. PLEASE REVIEW. I WILL NOT GIVE THE NEXT CHAPTER UNTIL I GET 10 REVIEWS. THANK YOU.
