AN: Well that just happened... Glad some of you guys liked it though. Sorry to let you guys wait so long for another chapter but this was more of an emotional chapter and I am not really good with emotions. Well expressing them on paper is not my specialty.

I want some variety in my post and writing so I have decided to start with a second story which I will be writing mostly when I don't want to write another chapter for The Hero of Atlantis or when I have a writer's block for the next chapter. They go like this:

The Mysterious Wanderer (Priority #2)

Perseus Jackson is a forbidden son. He is born in ancient Greek and is a son of Athena and Poseidon. He is immortal but he cannot be accepted by Zeus. He is left by a farm where he grows up but after a monster raid his 'parents' are killed and he stands all alone. An incredible force helps him on his way and slowly he becomes the fear of every monster. When he is in need of help he prays to his parents for help but they ignore him to not get discovered. Will he stay sane in a world with no goal or aim to live? Or will he be saved by a goddess would least expect.

The Warrior of the Wild (Priority #3)

Perseus wakes up in a camp in a forest at the age of 8. He has no memory of his past what's however and he has no idea who he is. Through the objects hidden in his camp he finds out that he is a shape shifter and a son of something Powerful. He wanders around and stumbles upon monsters and demigods. He fights the monsters merciless and he helps the demigods reach camp. Will it go on when a unknown force is destroying the wild?

These plots are both quick drafts of the idea but where it goes to will be the same. On my profile you can find the poll over which story I should start next. Please take a look at it.

ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!

I am sorry for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. If there are big ones tell it please then I can correct them. In the middle of this chapter I had some difficulties with what to say and how to present it so the middle can suck really hard.

Disclaimer: Nope I only own this plot and it is for entertainment purpose only!

Chapter 20

It was now 2 days ago that Annabeth was thrown of the cliff by Scylla. Percy had never felt so bad in his live, he sure had lost people around him whom he loved but someone who you loved and she didn't know and there maybe was a change that he could have saved her made it even worse than it already could be. Percy was sitting on the railing of the bow with Paralia lying motionlessly next to him. When the group hug ended after the death of Annabeth Paralia stumbled out of the forest with severe wounds on his left side. He was slowly dying and Percy was determent not to lose another loved one so he used almost all his powers to heal him. The bond between them became better and they could understand each other now in ways that talking was not needed. Together they mourned about Annabeth. Paralia because it was like a mother for him, she was almost always there for him and she helped him grow up together with Percy.

Percy was watching the sun set while stroking Paralia's head when he heard voices behind him. They were quite a distance away but he was a patron of primordials so his senses had improved. One of them he recognized as Will "Katie is everything true that he said when he yelled towards Scylla who is he really?"

Katie let out a heavy sigh and Percy could feel four eyes piercing in his back "That is for him to tell Will. Don't worry you will get to know who he really is on the end of the quest."

Percy thought for a moment and then his decision was made. He stood up and turned around "Get Beckendorf Will, I think you guys have waited long enough with questions."

Katie was shocked when she saw Percy. He had red eyes of crying and dried up tears were hanging on his cheeks. His voice was distant and it was sour he really looked bad. Will nodded in response and he walked below deck to get Beckendorf "Are you okay Perce?"

Percy looked up and he managed to make a small smile. "I am fine Katie, It's just difficult." Katie walked over towards him and embraced him tightly. Normally Percy would not let her doing this but the most time now he was in severe need of some hugs.

"You are not okay I can see that. Let's just get home and rest than we can look for Annabeth." Kate said while also letting a tear at the thought of Annabeth. She had always been her best friend. Annabeth had showed her camp and exactly on that day they already became best friends they trained together and shared secrets which was not possible anymore now. Katie believed that Annabeth was still alive somewhere dead people don't just disappear monster do.

"I know." Was the only thing Percy managed to let out. How was he going to survive at camp when he did not have Annabeth anymore. The water fights with her and did he now had to watch the sunsets all by his own? Talk about everything just with himself? Who would help him now when he needed a boost? He had no idea. He too thought that Annabeth was still alive and he was going to find her no matter what.

"You have us." Katie said while loosening the hug. "Your friends." Percy cleared up a little at the words and he went to sit down on a box when Will and Beckendorf arrived. Beckendorf was busy making a mechanic right hand for him to work with he said that it will be a hand better than a normal hand.

"Okay guys what I am going to tell you is not a story I made up and I need you to swear on the Styx never to tell anybody what I said. Only people who figure it out themselves or already know it you may talk about me." Percy said and they both looked uneasy at Katie. She nodded in encouragement and they did what he asked.

"Okay then, here we go..." Percy began and he told his story about his live.

Beckendorf and Will stayed quiet all the time and they were amazed. They always thought that their live of a demigod was hectic and no fun but Percy had officially earned to be called the demigod with the worst live. When he was small he had the Perfect live. He lived with his dad and mom in a underwater palace and had nothing to worry about. He was trained by The Bill but his live made a big twist when his mother was assassinated by a servant of Poseidon himself commissioned by Pontus. He had taken revenge on Pontus and then began his training with Gaea and Hydros. Not an easy live.

"You secret is save with us Perce." Beckendorf said after he had finishes his story. Percy nodded with appreciation and will nodded in approvement. "With me too."

"Thank you guys. You truly are one of my best friends." Percy said and Beckendorf and Will gave him both a hug and the look on their faces said that they were glad to have Percy as friend.

The trip home went surprisingly quiet that it almost was suspicious. It was very early in the morning when their ship was on the same place when their journey started. They just woke up when Malcolm announced that they were in the bay near camp. They all came above deck and they lowered the anchor Percy called 6 hippocampi and together with all of them they hasted themselves towards the camp. Things had changed heavily since when they left. Guards were everywhere and some buildings were even destroyed.

"THE QUEST IS BACK!" A guard yelled and then the bells began to ring. Campers poured out of cabins and some guards left their spot. Percy had the Fleece in his hand and nobody of the quest wanted to really celebrate their victory, they had lost the smartest camper and their best friend in this quest and that was not something to celebrate over.

When they reached the shore Percy jumped off his hippocampi and slowly made his way through the water with the heavy fleece in his hand. His eyes were hollow and without even greeting a camper he walked upon the beach and turned around to wait for his companions. It took them some more time because they dismounted their sea horse carefully and they could not move so fast in the water. He heard some campers gasping at the sight of only 5 campers. "Where is Annabeth?" He heard someone ask but he ignored it. When they all arrived at the shore they nodded at him in encouragement.

Percy let out a sigh and he made his way over towards the tree, campers made way for him not wanting to meet a sad and angry Percy. They could see it in his hollow eyes. They walked past the big house and Chiron walked out of the house.

"Greetings my young demigods." He greeted cheerfully but when he saw that his greeting was not answered his face darkened. "What is wrong?" But he already knew what was wrong. Annabeth was missing.

Katie took the word. "Annabeth is gone." She simply said and it was true they didn't even knew if she was truly dead she just disappeared when she actually supposed to be dead.

"I am so sorry to hear that." Chiron said compassionate. He saw Percy looking at the fleece with disgust and he knew why he was so emotional about her death/disappearance. "I knew what you felt for her Percy." Chiron said and Percy looked up from the fleece hopefully to hear something special. "Remember that she died as a true hero of Greece. She faced her death with courage and honor even if I didn't see it happen I know for sure."

A tear formed under Percy's eyes."Thank you so much Chiron." Percy gave him a sad smile "Now let's go save the border of this camp."

Chiron nodded and together they all walked over towards the tree. It was now half blackish because Percy had weakened the disease by absorbing it into his own body. All campers were standing in a circle around the tree with the quest members and Chiron closest to the core of the black poison. "You got the honor boy." Chiron said and he waved his hand towards the tree. Percy sighed and he made himself loose out of the crowd. He walked to the tree and he put the Golden Fleece exactly on the core of the poison. For a few seconds there was nothing but then the tree began to lit up. There were a few 'Oooh' and 'Aaah' but the majority remained quiet, then a loud bang occurred and the border lit up. The light was so bright that everybody had to cover their eyes. For a few seconds it remained like this and then 'Poof' it was gone.

A loud cough was heard from under the fleece and everybody looked stunned. A figure with blonde hair made himself loose of the crowd. "Thalia?" He asked quietly while kneeling next to the fleece. There was something different about him he had grown a lot and his eyes had a weird shade of gold in it. Nobody knew what it was or how he got it but actually nobody really paid attention to him since he was gone that long.

"Where am I?" The girl under the fleece asked with a dazed voice. Luke lifted up the fleece and a black-haired girl with punk clothes became visible. "Luke?" She asked while her eyes widened.

"Thalia." Luke said smiling and he embraced her tightly. "I thought you were gone." Thalia did not respond but she kept hugging him tightly.

"Campers go back to what you were doing you will all get to hear the story of the quest later at the camp fire, DISMISSED!" Chiron informed the campers and the circle crumbled apart with campers going in all directions. Some walked over to the quest members and congratulated them with their success and some gave them their condolences. Almost all campers were gone when Silena Beauregard daughter of Aphrodite walked over towards Beckendorf she embraced him tightly and Beckendorf answered the hug with the same enthusiasm.

"Glad you are back Charlie." She said while blushing a bit of excitement. Percy, Katie and Malcolm raised their eyebrows because nobody had ever called Beckendorf's name. Everybody called him Beckendorf because he didn't like his real name. He saw them looking and he sent a glare towards them and they chuckled. "Oh my god Charlie! You hand!" Silena yelped.

"Oh it's nothing." Beckendorf said casually while lifting up his arm to watch the stump himself. He was going to design a special hand which he could attach special things but also just a normal looking hand.

"It's nothing?" She now almost screamed. "You lost your hand Charlie, that's not nothing." Beckendorf answered it with a hug and he whispered things into her ear. She clearly cleared up and she began to smile. "See you guys later!" She said while walking away off the hill she swinged with her hips and Beckendorf whistled at the sight. Malcolm gagged and the rest smirked, a relationship between a Hephaestus son and a Aphrodite was not something you saw a lot.

"Nice catch bro." Will said while giving him a high five. Beckendorf smiled like an idiot and he began to blush a little bit which looked weird on him. He never showed really an emotion so from none to blushing was a big step for the quest members.

"What did you say to her to calm her down?" Percy said while smiling a little bit. It was a stitch in the heart when he saw the scene the thought came in that he was doing that with Annabeth but he kept himself strong. They were happy and he was happy for them.

Beckendorf avoided the question easily. "For you a question for me to know Perce."

They all chuckled and Luke and Thalia stood up. They had all the time quietly talked leaning against the tree. He had updated her on where she was and what had happened in the meantime. She was happy that Luke was here but he had changed a lot and then there was Annabeth who had just died in a quest.

Chiron had watched the scenes before him with an amused smile and muttered "Young love." It was very quiet but surprisingly Percy had heard him Percy raised an eyebrow and before he could question why he had asked that he talked first "So Thalia, I suppose that's your name." He asked smoothly and Thalia nodded in response. "Can you tell me who you are and maybe who you parent is?"

Thalia thought for a second and Luke gave her a reassuring smile and she took the word. "I am Thalia Grace and I think that I am the Daugther of Zeus."

"Di Immortales." Chiron mumbled. "Another forbidden child." But she had not heard him. He managed a smile and he looked at her "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood Thalia Grace-" He was interrupted when a sign of a lightning rod appeared above her face. "Daughter of Zeus it is and honor to have you her at camp. I think Luke will show you around here in camp."

"I will Chiron." Luke answered and off they were.

"Well I want to hear the whole story of your quest." Chiron said while turning towards the quest companions who were the only one left by the tree. "Let's go to the big house.

After their talk with Chiron they were all tired and they could skip camp activities for the next 2 days which they were very grateful to. Percy had told the whole story with the rest adding in details when he missed some. Chiron remained quiet the whole time and he started to ask questions when they were finished with their story. They were fairly easy to answer and after 4 hours of talking they were walking towards the exit of the big house.

"Percy I have to give you something. Can you come with me to the Athena Cabin?" Malcolm asked Percy and his throat dried out. Why would he ask me to go to his cabin? He thought.

"Yes I will come with you." Percy answered dryly and together they walked over towards the Athena Cabin. They reached the cabins field Malcolm began to explain why he asked him to come with him. "Look Percy, Annabeth wanted me to give you some stuff in case she would die. It's a sort of testament but then only with some stuff for you."

Percy remained silent and he suddenly stopped. "Did she knew that she would die?" He asked full of fear. If he had known he would not have taken with her.

"No she didn't Percy don't worry. She made it with her last thought and she sent it towards me on paper when she died at the last moment." He explained and when Percy looked at him with a non-understanding face he explained further. "It was a gift from Athena. Annabeth had the power to make documents out of her mind and if she could sent them towards a Athena sibling with the same power of to a Shrine or Temple and in this case her cabin. Otherwise I know for sure she would have sent it towards you."

Percy was stunned he would get a letter from Annabeth and then something of her stuff. It was the best thing he had heard in days. Finally something to remind her with. "Okay I understand."

Together they remained their journey to the cabin and they kept quiet the rest of the time. When they arrived the cabin was full of Athena kids and Percy almost could not hold it anymore. You have to stay strong Percy. Annabeth would not want you to fall apart only because of her death. He said to himself. The Athena kids looked at him expectantly and he said something really casually "Hey Guys I am Percy." Some of them chuckled at his unease. Of course they knew who he was he was Annabeth's best friend and everybody could see they liked each other very much except for themselves and he had saved camp know for the second time.

"Is he coming for her letter?" A small boy of around eight years old asked while moving up and down on his chair.

"Yes he is Jackie." Malcolm said with a soothing voice. "You want to help me showing Percy Annabeth's bank?" He asked because he knew that Percy loved children around him who were hyperactive. Even if he still was 13 he was much older mentally. Sometimes he could act like a little kid but due his training by the primordials he had aged quicker and in real age he was 19 but in earth years he was 13 because the time flows different in the realms of Gaea and Hydros.

"Of course I will." Jackie said while running off towards Percy and Malcolm. He took Percy's hand and he pulled him forward. "Com'n Percy, can I call you that? I have to show you my big sister's bank. It is a little messy sometimes but we cleaned it up to make it more beautiful. Did you really like Annabeth that much? How is it to fight monster with that kind of talents and weapons?" He gossiped at a stretch.

"Whow whow whow Jackie don't kill Percy with his questions." Malcolm chuckled and Percy was now for the first time since Annabeth's death smiling for real. Jackie reminded him so much of himself when he was young. His father always told him that he could kill a god with his question.

"Yes. Yes and I still do. I do it to protect my family and friends." Percy answered all the asked questions and Jackie was relieved that he had answered them.

"We are here." Malcolm announced while leaning against the door post. Percy let loose of Jackie's hand who went to stand next to Malcolm. Percy looked inside and he saw it exactly as he had expected it to be. The bed neatly made-up and her closest were so organized that it hurt his eyes. He saw a laptop laying on the bedside and on it laid a letter. He walked over to the bed and he sat down. He picked up the letter and he saw that it was a parchment letter, the favorite paper of Annabeth. He turned it around and he saw that it was sealed with a red stamp with the symbol of Athena. He swallowed and he opened the letter.

Dear Seaweed Brain,

I am so sorry that we could not say goodbye in a decent way but I guess this is the only thing that will do it.
I want you to know that it was not your fault that I am dying and that I am very proud of you Percy. We went together through fire and water without ever doubting each other and i loved you for that, but that was not the only reason I loved you. I do not send this letter as a love declaration but more for you to know some things. I really want you to know this Percy

I love you with all my heart even when I am dead, I will always love you!
I love the way you smile and cheer me up when I am down.
I love the way you let me win when we have a water battle and the way you took care of me when I again fell asleep on your shoulder or chest. Yes I knew it all the time and sometimes I did it just to let you carry me to my cabin.
I love the way I outsmart you and the way you listen to my even you have no idea what I am talking about.
I love you Perseus Jackson with All my heart.

I have to go Percy, I feel the live slipping out of me.

Farewell my love, Seaweed Brain, I will always be yours.

Farewell.

Tears dropped in the paper but Percy ensured that it did not damage the paper. "I love you too Wise Girl." He mumbled and he kept starring at the paper like Annabeth could appear out of it any moment. After a moment he laid down the paper next to him and he looked over to the next paper which was the testament. He read it quickly and he discovered that he would get certain books, her camera, notebooks and the pictures from her picture wall. He looked over towards the picture wall and he saw a lot of pictures. Surprisingly there where a lot of him and he smiled. One picture immediately caught his attention and it was the biggest one. She was on the beach with him and she was in her bikini and he was in his swim short. Annabeth had the camera in one hand and the other one was around his waist. Percy had both his hands around her waist and he was planting a friendly kiss on her cheek. It looked so peaceful and if you did not know it you would think that they were a couple. The funny part was that you could see Paralia in the background also smiling at the camera with a wolfish grin. He loved the pictures so much already.

They packed the stuff and he thanked Malcolm and Jackie around a thousand times and he took off to his own cabin. He quickly packed everything out and he laid it all on special places. The books he laid on his now not empty anymore bookshelf. One of the books was one about the Perseus of the ancient time. He was definitely going to read it. He carefully unpacked the pictures and he hang them all on the wall next to his bed. He looked at the result and he was happy that it looked so good. He picked up a copy of the lovely picture of him and Annabeth and made a protective layer around it so it would not damage. It put it in his back pocket of his pants to always have her with him together with the letter. After a quarter of and hour he was finished and he looked at the result. His bank now looked more decorated and it looked lovely. He picked up the book about Perseus and he walked over towards the Dining Hall. He was one of the first people there and was glad to be first. Nobody would bother him until the rest came in so he had rest for the time being. He quickly ate and just when the majority of the campers where pouring into the Dining Hall he sacrificed the leftovers to his dad Poseidon and he stormed over towards the beach, ignoring all the questions and stories campers told him.

Nobody was on the beach at this time and he was happy that he was alone. He picked the picture out of his pocked and he sat down. He looked at it and tears began to well up again. "I know you are out there somewhere Wise Girl." Percy whispered over the sea. "I will find you even if I have to go to the underworld but I will find you."

That Night

Percy suddenly popped into a cave with a very high ceiling. He inspected the room and he saw that there was a hole in the ceiling of the cave with a white light shining through it onto something on a small hill in the middle of the cave. He tried to walk forward to look what it was but he couldn't move a muscle. He heard voices behind him and then 2 big figures walked past him his body followed them from a distant and he could hear their conversation.

"Are you sure this is a good idea Lord?" The left man said who surprisingly enough smelled a lot like sea. Not the sea like Poseidon but more ancient.

"Don't question me Oceanus." The big man said who Percy thought was a titan too said with a low bass in his voice. He had dark black hair and he was tall and muscular. PErcy had no idea who he was.

"I won't my Lord but that Poseidon shrimp is powerful." Oceanus shot back which The big man returned with a chuckle.

"Come on Oceanus I am the General. Who could defeat me?" The big man said while patting Oceanus on the back who looked uneasy at the fact that he was patting him on the back. They arrived at the middle and they began to climb up the hill with Percy following them closely. Percy heard a moan from up the hill and he had no idea what it could be.

"Come, come girl no need to play weak. We know you are strong enough to survive." The so called General said. Percy could not see the girl/woman but he could hear that she had just spit into the General's face.

"You stupid Witch!" He said and he slapped her in the face. "Do what you want girl but you will stay here until that Sea-Spawn is here and then you will meet the same fate as he will."

"He will come I know for sure." The girl said and it sounded a lot like Annabeth. "He will come and save me. He will kill you for that you have taken me and I will not stop him! You deserve it all!"

Oceanus and The General laughed out loud. "You think that the boy can defeat to titans? You are truly a daughter of that idiot of a wisdom goddess. Always so full of wrong answer to wrong questions." With this Percy began to rise until he had a clear view of the girl who lay on the altar in the middle of the room. He was shocked what he saw, he saw Annabeth lying on the altar with her hands and feet bound onto it. Her body was totally bruised and she looked very bad. Tears where flowing down her cheeks and fear was clearly visible in her eyes, but still she remained strong. Suddenly she began to scream and her body meanders back and forth. Above her screaming Percy could hear the heavy bass voice of the General. "Not so though now are you Annabeth Chase."

Percy woke up screaming Annabeth's name and he was drenched in sweat. "I am going to get you Annabeth. Even if it is the last thing I do." He whispered into the night.

AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I also hope you will vote for which story I should start next. Next chapter will include a meeting on Olympus and Percy starting his journey to save Annabeth. Or was it just a normal dream? Is she even really alive?

I am sorry for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. If there are big ones tell it please then I can correct them.

And remember reviews make me feel writing faster and more!

Se(a) Yea
