Before I do anything, can I ask you all a question? Are we... Friends? Because I feel like all you people know me more than my real friends at school do. You give me encouragement when my real friends tell me to put my books away for once. You guys can tell if I'm sad or not and you'll ask why. I might be crying at lunch and everyone will pass me by. I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking or whatever. I just don't feel like people in school, other than my teachers, know how I feel and who I am. Anyways, I have nothing else to say, so I own nothing and onto the chapter! (PS I know I stink at spelling! You're a little too late!)

Annabeth's POV

I ran through the battle as it passed around me in a blur. A slash here, a swipe there, a poof of disintegrated monster left behind in the wind, a block of a demigod's attack attempt. A stab- no not a stab. It wouldn't do to stab one of your own. "Sorry Joe!" I yelled as I rushed off. Joe and Selene Obsidian (Hades) both have huge crushes on the other yet neither one knows. They're as clueless as Percy and I were.

I repeated my pattern of slash-swipe-poof-block-stab over and over. It became a deadly dance of skill and grace, whoever loses loses their life. Fortunately for me, I was a graceful as a cat and never once faltered. Unfortunately for my opponents, I had lots of skill in my strikes from all my years of training. With each death of monster and enemy that I brought on, I slowly put surely moved towards my main target. Sure, killing monsters wasn't too bad, but I was going for Kronos. Maybe while I had him busy Percy could escape his trance if I injured the Titan enough. But that means I'd almost surely kill myself in the process.

I sighed after killing another Canadian (as in the giants, I have nothing against Canada). I don't know if I can do this anymore. I mean, when was the last time Percy was actually here? Not visiting here, but really truly here to stay. Not in disguise either. It'd have to be... Right before he was kidnapped by Kronos after Wrath's first time at camp. If you count that short time if only a few weeks as a stay for a long time. And that was... About three years ago? Give or take? I'm not sure why I hang around that idiot. I coukd have just about anyone else I want, but for some reason I don't understand, I stick with that noble idiot. Gods know why.

It took me a few more minutes to reach my destination. There was the Titan lord, lounged up against Thalia's Tree as if he owned the place. Off to the side were some demigods fighting that he was watching. I looked closer. I first saw Jason, Nico, Thalia, Hazel, Leo, Frank, and Piper all fighting one person. I couldn't tell who that person was at first since he moved as fast as the wind. One second here, the other three yards away. Before I knew who it was, I thought it was a bit harsh that most of the original Seven and some of their siblings had ganged up on one enemy, but it was then I saw who it was. Seven of the most powerful demigods ever were fighting just one demigod... And losing.

"Isn't he doing great?" Kronos spoke someone, either himself or me, I'm not sure.

I decided des to play along. "Yes. Jason is doing great. Or is it Leo you're talking about? Frank is doing pretty good himself, as is Nico with all the dead minions over there," I coolly replied looking in the same direction as the Titan.

I didn't need to turn my head to see Kronos scowl. "Don't play games girl. You know as well as I who I'm talking about."

I smirked. Now I know why Percy talked back to gods and beings stronger than him. " I'd hope you knew who you were talking about. If you didn't, how was I supposed to know as well?"

"I was talking about Perseus." Came the forced calm reply.

"Percy? Oh I didn't even see him. I thought they were all fighting air." I saw Kronos puff up at this I'm pride. "Yeah, he sure is skinny. I didn't even notice him. Wow he's weak. Could use a few muscles too. You know, so he doesn't look like a stick figure."

This time Kronos turned his whole body to glare at me. I pretended not to notice. "Listen here Chase," he growled, "this is my pride you're dealing with. If I were you, I'd go back to whatever pesky little dumb blondes do. Now buzz of."

I turned to him and returned the glare. "Don't. Say. That. Ever. Again."

"What? Do you mean dumb-"

"Don't say it."

"Blonde," came a new voice. We both turned our heads to the side to observe the new opponent.

"Perseus!" Kronos greeted his minion. If you can smile while possessed, I'm sure Percy just did.

"Father," Percy nodded. "I have finished the task you set for me."

I looked over to where the seven demigods had been fighting a little while ago. Instead of seeing them helping the younger kids in battle, I saw seven motionless lumps on the grass. My throat closed up for a minute.

"You didn't...they aren't... Are they... How could..." I stammered still in shock.

"Did you kill them?" Kronos asked.

Percy shrugged. "I got the job done. They will not interfere anymore in our plans."

Kronos smiled. "Good. They better not interfere in our plans again. Now Miss Chase. As I was saying earlier, scurry away before it gets to be more than you can handle. Go sit somewhere and look pretty. That's all girls are good for anyways." (AN IM A GIRL SO DONT EXPLODE ON ME FOR THAT!)

I gasped. Now I can barely handle when my friends are insulted, but my whole gender? That's gone too far. "Thats it. You and me. Let's go Titan," I said pulling out my dagger.

Kronos laughed. "My aren't you eager to die? No I don't fight unless you beat my right hand man. And no one has ever beat him, not even some of the titans who have battles him at base. He's a wonderful swordsman, best in the past couple thousand years if I do say so myself, and I do. So, still want to fight him?"

Now if I wasn't so mad, I probably would've asked who I was battling at least. But all I could think was this: oh no he didn't. Oh no he didn't! And repeat. So I missed a few details. For example, if I had to kill him to win and who he even was.

"All right Chase. If you insist. Perseus?" Percy stepped forward. "Have fun. Go crazy."

I looked at percy in shock. "I can't battle him!"

"You have too. You already said you would and there's no backing out in a titan'a fight. Since Percy is my son and he's fighting for me he counts as a Titan. Now, start!"

I looked at my best friend in horror as he slowly advanced towards me, riptide swinging from left to right hypnotically. As fast as a cobra, he lunged at me. I barely blocked his first blow, so that didn't seem too good for the rest of the duel. I wildly took a stab at him, but he dodged.

We went back and forth like this for several minutes, Percy eventually cutting me up pretty badly and me hardly scratching him. With a cheap blow Percy knocked me to my knees and I fell to the ground.

"Kronos, I have tired her. She won't try to jump you. She lacks the strength," Percy informed. I sighed internally. He's right. I put everything I had into blocking the deadlier strikes of Riptide. I was bone tired and no more energy to battle a Titan, let alone Kronos king if the titans.

Kronos smiled. "Good work Perseus." The golden eyed boy nodded and walked away off into the battle to attack some more campers. The seven still hadn't moved. Kronos approached me as soon as Percy was out if earshot.

(AN SEXUAL THEMES. SORRY. HES AN EVIL TITAN AND I THINK HED DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. ILL TELL YOU WHEN ITS DONE!)

Kronos leaned down to me. "I don't have to kill you Chase. You have other uses. As long as you follow them as I tell you."

To tired to move I replied: "What kind if uses?"

The Titan got an evil glint in his eyes. "Oh you know. We could have some fun together. No one needs to know about this but us."

I tried to act dumb. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I have a nice cave a few miles from here. I can poof up a canopy bed and some nice blankets and sheets and we can... Get to know each other. Intimately. If you get what I mean."

I knew exactly what he was saying. "And if I refuse?"

"There's more than one way to make a bird sing. I can always kill you if that's what you'd prefer."

"What about Percy? He loves me and I love him. How will he feel when he funds out we did... That?" I asked.

Kronos sighed. "He might has me for a week, but he'll understand eventually. I'll make him." The way he said make was scaring me.

"How else can you make a bird sing in my position?" I asked timid.

Kronos smiled creepily again. "Well, you have to be alone at least once. I'll just grab you, find a nice spot as close as possible-I hear grass is nice-and we can have our fun there. I'll make an in usable bubble so people can't hear you screaming though, whether it's please or pain or fear I won't care."

My eyes grew wide. "You wouldn't."

"Oh Miss Chase. I would. I very much would. Even your oh so sweet Percy wanted to. A part if him anyways. His words were 'Ill donut anywhere any time. I don't care who sees and who's listens. I want the world to see.' not so loving is he now?"

"H-he wouldn't do that. He loves me," I stuttered.

"He loves you all right," Kronos said stressing the word loves. " I think id like to love you too."

"Leave me alone. Why is it me all the guys go for?" I mumbled.

"Percy isn't around often and he's a bit reckless. He could die anytime. Which means you'd be free. Plus, if you have a body as amazing as yours, you always get the guys aged you," Kronos explained staring at my chest. I felt my face go red.

"I have an answer. I won't love you. Not like that," I told him. His eyes grew the color of dark gold.

"Fine. But I'll do it my way. I'll kill you. But right before you die, I'll freeze time and I'll get the chance I want. I will get to feel you on me. In me. I always get what I want eventually."

I shuddered.

(AN SAFE TO LOOK NOW IF YOU LOOKED AWAY!)

The Titan unsheathed his sword and raised it above his head. I closed my eyes just in time to see it come down. I think I caught a glimpse of green, but it must've been a trick if the light.

Before the the sword cut through my skin, I felt someone push my left side and I fell rolling down the hill. I heard a mangled scream from the top of the hill but couldn't tell who it belonged to.

I opened my eyes at the bottom if the hill and looked up at where I was a few seconds ago. Kronos was still there, but he was staring at the figure at the end of his sword.

Tears blurred my vision. Percy Jackson lay mangled on the top if Kronos's scythe. He risked his life for mine. And I didn't even know if his eyes were green or gold.
