Hey everyone. I wanted to update sooner, but I have been laying on my butt for the past week, stuck home with the flu. Ugh, I hate the flu. It makes you so weak and tired. But... I went back to school for one day then got stuck being sick again for the next. Anyways, I'm better and I might be done with the sickness now... so yeah.

Thanks for reading my author's note. Enjoy the chapter.

Alyssa sat next to me as we looked at wedding dresses. Her eyes widened at one of the dresses on the third page. She pointed at the dress and looked up at me, a smile plastered on her face.

I looked at the dress and smiled at her. The dress was strapless (which I liked) and had little designs on the front part. There was no lace; no annoying ruffles. The dress looked like it wasn't snuggish. It was pure white and it had my dress size. I placed an arm around her shoulders, hugging her.

"You have good taste, you know that?" I told her.

Alyssa shrugged. "I guess so. I mean, daddy always told me I had good taste in style. He said I would design dresses, skirts, shirts on my barbie dolls. I don't mean too, it's just something I like to do."

"How come you know how to talk so good?" I asked. "Can you tell me that?"

"I don't know. All I know is for some reason, I stared talking when I was two and I couldn't shut up... That's what mommy always said." she explained, looking down. Alyssa fiddled with her thumbs, playing with the bandage that was wrapped around her finger.

"You are special, Alyssa. Your mom knew that. She was just... Too young to handle a big responsbility." I told her. "If you were my child, I would of never given up on you. I would stay by your side and your daddy's. You guys both deserve someone to love you."

She smiled at me. "Thank you, Annie." Alyssa wrapped her arms around my neck and I hugged her back. "You are the world's greatest mommy."

"Thank you, baby." I whispered, kissing her cheek then I pulled away. "I'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay." Alyssa turned on the TV and Dora the Explorer was on. She smiled as Boots and Dora were singing a song.

I stood up, wiping my hands on my jeans. I walked into the hallway then walked into my fiance's bedroom. I leaned against the doorframe as he laid on the bed, his hands on his head. I walked over to him and laid next to him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Percy groaned. "Just having memories. Remembering the good times."

I turned my head to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"I was remembering the times we had together when we were younger." He was staring at the ceiling. "I mean, the adventures we had. Against the gods, against the Titans, against demigods. I was also remembering the times we had together... The good times. Our alone time. Us sneaking into each other's cabins. Well preferbably, mine."

I smiled. "I remember those days."

"My favorite memory has to be the night of the Fireworks. Where we skipped it and snuck into my cabin." Percy grinned, laughing.

"We could of been in deep trouble, Seaweed Brain." I laughed along with him.

"It was your idea." he laughed.

I punched him in the shoulder. "It was not! It was your idea."

"Really? I'm not the one who gave me the idea in the first place." Percy turned his head to look at me with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Oh, wipe that smirk off your face. You are the one who asked me if I wanted to sneak away and go into your cabin, Percy Jackson. Don't you dare blame that on me." I told him, smirking.

"You might want re-think that night again."

I laughed, looking up and staring up at the ceiling. I stared into space as the memory started to come back into my mind.

I was just finishing the blueprints for Athena's statue. It had everything. Her weapons, a goddess dress, and a tiara for her head. I was making sure I had everything on it before I showed her and the other gods. I grabbed my pencil and finished the second outline of her tiara so it could shine. It was perfect. I smiled at the blueprint and out of nowhere, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.

"Hey, Wise Girl."

I smiled. "Percy... I'm busy."

"Too busy to hang out with your boyfriend?" He asked as he sat down on my bed. I stared at him as he made himself comfortable. Clad in his Camp shirt and jeans and his un-ruly, shoulder length hair made him look even hotter.

"What do you want, Seaweed Brain?" I asked, putting my eyes back on the blueprint of Athena.

Percy sighed, "Well, the Fireworks are tonight and I was wondering if you would go with me."

"Don't I always?" I teased, rolling up the blueprint and placing the papers in my backpack. I turned around to face my boyfriend, who was lying on my bed.

"Well, yeah. I just wanted to be a gentleman and ask you for change instead of assuming you are going with me. I mean, you never know, you might stand me up." He defended himself.

I laughed. "Percy, I won't ever stand you up unless I had a good reason why."

"That makes me feel a whole lot better." He rolled his eyes. Those sea-green eyes were going to be the death of me someday.

"Anyways, I need to take a shower before the Fireworks... and I don't feel comfortable with my boyfriend in here while we're the only two in here. The last time we were caught together in a cabin alone, I almost got in big trouble with my dad." I explained. "He wanted to give me the talk again, that's how serious it was."

"It wasn't that big of deal."

"And that's why you are a Seaweed Brain." I joked, messing with his hair.

Percy stood up and I looked up at him. He was still a few inches taller than me and I hated the fact that I had to lean up a little bit to kiss him. It just wasn't fair. I was always taller than him. Now, since he hit his growth spurt and became more muscular, Percy was better at a lot of things. And trust me, I hated it.

"Kiss me." I whispered. I had no idea where that came from.

He grinned and stepped forward, pressing me against the wall. I smiled when his arms made bar handles, making me feel trapped. Percy kissed me, making my knees go weak. I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him again. I loved the feeling of his lips on mine; it was... undescribable. I couldn't place what feeling or effect he had on me. All I knew that it was very addicting and something I could never get rid of.

"Hmm... As much as I want to continue this, I have to stop it." I pulled away, pressing my hands against his chest. "We can't be caught again, Seaweed Brain."

"I know, but what if no one catches us?" He asked, not wanting to leave.

I glared at him. "That's what you said last time."

Percy groaned, throwing his arms up in the air. Sometimes, he could really be a drama queen. I watched as he walked out of the cabin and I smiled, leaning up against the wall. I always get on his nerves, but he can't get rid of me. Well, I hope not.

Later that night, I was walking down towards the beach where the Fireworks were being held and I felt a hand on my waist. I turned around and my boyfriend kissed me quickly before pulling away and smiling at me.

"Hi."

"Hey."

"What's wrong?" he asked me.

"Nothing."

Percy gave me this dark look. His sea green eyes stared into mine and I was defeated. He just had the most intimidating eyes.

I sighed. "I just wish we didn't have to go to the Fireworks. I mean, as much as I love them and you, I just want some time alone. We never have any time together, well alone time anymore. With me doing Olympus and you focusing on schoolwork and other what-nots, we just don't have any time."

Percy frowned then his frown turned upside down. He slid a hand over my mouth, pulling me into the woods. I followed him as our hands laced together and our fingers intertwined. Ah, sneaking away from the Fireworks. Oh, Chiron is going to hate us. Well, he techincally can't. We are the most powerful demigods.

My boyfriend brought us to his cabin and we ran in before anyone could see us. Everyone was at the Fireworks and we were probably the only couple skipping. But hey, you can't blame us. We have no time alone. I closed the door and turned around to see Percy behind me. I felt his hands go on my waist, pulling me into a deep, passionate kiss. I was so pre-occupied, I forgot to breathe.

"Mm, Percy... as much as I want to continue this, but we need to breathe." I whispered, knotting my fingers into his jet black, shoulder length hair.

"I'm invicible, Annabeth. I think I can handle kissing with my girlfriend."

"Hmm... now where were we?" I raised an eyebrow, smirking.

"Here." then his lips were on mine, kissing me deeply.

Oh gods, what's happening to me? Percy has been changing me for the past year of our relationship. I couldn't help but be sweet, nice around him unless someone pissed me off then that's a different story.

Somehow, we managed to make it to the bed and Percy was lying on top of me, his invulnerable weight not on me. I only felt half of what he carried. I pulled away and stared at the boy above me. He leaned down and placed his forehead on mine.

"Annabeth... Maybe we should go to the Fireworks." Percy told me, pushing himself off my body.

I sat up, looking at him. "What's wrong?"

"If we gotten any farther, I wouldn't be able to control myself."

"How come?" I asked.

Percy sighed, sitting on the edge of his bed and placed his head on his hands. "I'm a son of Poseidon. Kissing you is an addiction, and what I mean is... I'm very powerful and I don't want to hurt you in any way, shape, or form, Annabeth."

"Seaweed Brain, we weren't going to go far unless we both wanted to, and I'm not ready to face that emotional, physical pain yet. I may be a daughter of Athena and I carried the weight of Atlas, but that doesn't mean I'm strong around everything. Not even you, Percy."

I was concentrated on the memory that I didn't even hear the first three times that Percy called my name.

"What?" I asked.

"Did you go into your thoughts, again?" he asked.

I laughed. "Yes, I did. I was remembering that night. It was a peaceful night."

"Yeah, it was."

I looked over at the man lying next to me. I sat up, turning to look at him better. Percy was staring up at me and I was smiling at him. We were about to kiss, but we heard a crashing sound from the living room.

I ran out of the bedroom as fast as I could. Percy followed behind me and we were shocked at the seen before us. A minotaur was standing in front of us with Alyssa in his hands. She was trying to push herself out, but he squeezed tighter and she screamed in pain.

"I thought I already killed you twice, big boy. Do I have to do it again?" Percy asked, his hand on my lower back. "Get Alyssa on my count."

The minotaur snorted. He threw Alyssa down on the ground and I ran over to her. On my way to get her, a hellhound jumped right on top of me and started to attack me. I kicked the hellhound in the jaw, making it howl and snarl right at me. It lunged for me, but I rolled over and it crashed into the cabinets in the kitchen. I stood up, running over to Alyssa. Percy was busy fighting the minotaur with his sword, Riptide. I smiled at the memories of how many times that sword saved my life. I then was tackled by another hellhound and it's teeth sunk into the back of my neck. I yelled in pain and I turned over, punching it over and over again in the jaw.

The fighting stopped and I realized that Percy was done with the minotaur. The hellhounds scrammed when they saw it was Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon and leader of Camp Half-Blood. I turned around to grab Alyssa, but she was gone.

"Alyssa!" I yelled.

Percy ran into her bedroom. "Alyssa! Alyssa, where are you?"

"Alyssa!" I shouted. I checked the bathrooms, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room. Nothing.

My fiance dropped onto the couch, his head in his hands. "Oh my gods..."

"Where is she?" I asked, taking a seat next to him.

"The minotaur took her before I finished him off. One of the hellhounds must of took her to wherever the minotaur came from." Percy looked over at me.

"Wait, you don't mean-" I sighed.

Percy Jackson nodded. "Alyssa was taken to the Underworld. The hellhounds and minotaurs were summoned by Hades."
