Hey! I just came out of Saturday school…and decided…I should update!

Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV

This is it.

No more fun and games.

No more jokes or romances.

The only thing I had on my mind was my teacher, Chiron. After so many years, I would finally get him back…or I will die trying. After breaking Percy out of jail, gathering my friends back, going through so much…this was finally the moment I had been waiting for. And I won't lie to you, I never thought this day would come. I never imagined myself in Hang, Mongolia. I never thought I would actually be here. I honestly didn't.

But now I had to keep my mind focused. Anything else that I missed would be done after I find Chiron. My old teacher and father figure was somewhere, on the other side of this giant lake, waiting for his children to rescue him from the evil clutches of his captivator. I couldn't leave Russia without him. If I did, the U.S government would imprison me alone with everyone else. I couldn't forget that I committed a huge federal offence by going 'rogue' and breaking Percy out of one of the biggest prison's in the world. Piper, Jason, Leo, Mirabelle and Will would all get my same punishment for helping me. I had not only put myself in danger, but also the lives of my friends.

I hated myself more.

"How are we going to get across the water?" Mirabelle asked.

I looked around and I saw my friend's expressions. They were all serious. They all felt what I was feeling, more or less.

"I have three little rowboats inside the Argo II. I can get them, if you want?" Leo suggested.

I looked over to him and smiled a bit.

"Leo, you're a genius." I told him.

I had always thought this, ever since I saw his beautiful creation, the Argo II. But I had never really taken the time to tell him or even mention it in one of our conversations. His face it up, his eyes shined like little flames. I felt good. If we were going to die, he should at least know I appreciated his work.

"Thank you, Annabeth. See? At least someone see's that I am smart!" Leo said as he grinned widely. "Um…Jason, Percy and Will, come with me. I need help getting the boats in the water."

Jason nodded and followed his friend. Percy and Will followed with complain. I looked over at the girls. Piper was freezing in her shorts and t-shirt, while Mirabelle was waiting for orders.

"Come on, girls. We need to pack for a long trip."

(Inside the Argo…)

I looked around the Argo once last time. The walls were splattered with color and random designs that made it like a beautiful piece of art. The leather seats on the top floor were all different colors. Red, blue, black, green, yellow, pink, purple, orange…all the colors imaginable, those were the colors of each individual seat.

Piper had changed into black jeans and put a brown leather jacket over her white-shirt. Mirabelle was wearing what she always wore. She had her hair in a high pony tail, skinny jeans and a green long sleeve. I was wearing a black sweater, knee high boots and jeans. We had packed seven individual backpacks with simple things needed for survival and a few gadgets that might help us on our missions.

"We'll come back, Annabeth. You'll see." Piper said as she walked next to me and put a hand on my shoulder, smiling kindly.

I was always amazed at how Piper could seem to read my mind and convince me with her voice. Her voice was confident, firm and soft at the same time. I felt like she was right, and so I nodded. If I could ever pick a sister, I want her to be just like Piper. In our old training days, we would steal each other's breakfast.

"Come on, Beauty Queen," I said using Leo's nickname for her. "We should get going."

"Alright…Annie!" she said before I could caught her.

"Don't call me that!" I yelled after her.

Glaring at the stop Piper had been standing, Mirabelle walked over to me and bumped my shoulder before walking down that stairs. What was her problem? Was she jealous of Piper, because she's been acting like since Piper came. I would have to ask her later. I peeked my head out of the doorway, holding onto the inside of the plane, trying not to fall off.

The wind blew my hair backwards and I narrowed my eyes.

"Leo, do I close it now?!" I called out.

"Yes, please and thank you!" He shouted back at me.

I nodded and climbed off the Argo. I pushed the stairs upward and it folded up and a small trap door opened with the stairs fit into. A little touch screen panel came up and I typed in Leo's password, which only I knew.

Hot Stuff and Supreme Commander of the Argo II.

Yeah I know. Long password and incredible ridiculous, but that was Leo Valdez. I had to shield what I was typing in because I felt Mirabelle's eyes on me…and for some reason, I didn't trust her. Just for that moment. I typed in the password and the doors closed down and another door closed over the regular doors. The second doors were made of titanium.

"Won't someone notice a huge, colorful plane in this empty open field? I don't know about you, but I would find that suspicious." Percy said as he dragged two rowboats to the water's edge.

He still had the strong muscles he did when he was in prison. I remember those times…

*Flashback*

C1…..C2….C3. I stopped in the number I had too. I noticed that he was the only one in this whole area. He must have done something really wrong; I made a mental note to check his file later. I looked inside the bars. There was a man sitting in the bottom bed of the four bunk beds there were in there. His head was down, so his messy black hair covered his face. He was wearing a blue and white stripped jumpsuit, and his hands were hand cuffed. He looked up, but he didn't look at me in the eyes. He just looked straight to the wall in front of him.

But then he did look at me. His eyes surprised me so much; it almost made my no emotion expression turned to surprise. They were so green! Like the sea, mixed with the sky. They were amazing. But I kept my cold stare.

"Well, hello there,Annabeth." He said.

Did he just say my name? How in the world did he know my name? Well, Amanda did say everyone knew who I was.

"Jackson." I said.

He smiled at me, and his teeth were surprisingly white. He stood up and slowly walked towards me, I stood my ground. But I also noticed how tall and strong he was. He was also very tan, for being in the shadows all the time.

"What brings you here?" He asked.

"None of your business." I said.

He smiled.

"Come closer." He said.

"No." I replied.

He laughed.

"Scared?" He asked.

"Of course not, why would I be scared of you?" I asked.

*Another Flashback*

After that, I did my regular rounds. Stopped a fight in area 'A', yelled at a few people in 'B', and know I was making my way down to Section C. I walked up to the door and took out the grey pass key from my front pocket. I put it in the scanner and then the door opened. I walked in and turned around after I closed it. I looked down the corridor, and again counted as I walked. C1…C2…C3.

This time, Percy was doing Push-Ups. He's feet where on the edge of his bed, and his hands were on the floor. I watched until he was done…at 200. But he was already at 150 when I got there, so it finished fast. When the girls in the lunch room talked about Percy having huge muscles, they were right. He was so strong. He got a small towel, which I have no idea where he got from, and wiped the sweat away before coming near me: such a gentleman.

He put his hands though the bars and just leaned there. He looked at me with his Sea green eyes, he was analyzing me.

"Come here." He said.

I didn't move. I wasn't going to keep falling for his little games…wait. I was never falling for his games.

"Oh, come on Annabeth, please. You know you can trust me." He said.

I know I can trust him, but….i don't know him. I just don't know. But my feet have a brain of their own apparently, because the next thing I know I'm right there in front of the bars of his cell. His hand moves up and brushes my hair away to reveal the four little stitches. He made a pained face, and moved his fingers along the stitches.

"Do they hurt?" He asked.

"No." I answered.

"Don't play tough with me, I know they hurt." He said, still tracing the line the stitches made.

*One Last Flashback*

There was only one bed…We stood there like idiots just staring at the bed. My hands were still in his big, strong ones. I didn't really know what to do, so I waited for him to speak up.

"Annabeth, take the bed, I'll take the sofa." He said as he took his hand out of mine and started to walk to the sofa.

I grabbed his arm and stopped him. He turned around and looked at me, confused.

"I'll take the sofa." I said.

He looked at me like if I was crazy, then laughed a little.

"Oh, no. I'm talking the sofa." He argued back.

"No, Percy. You have a semi-injured leg! Take the bed; I'm fine with taking the sofa." I told him seriously.

I had said semi-injured because after he came out of the shower his leg was all magically better. I still didn't know how, and I still didn't want to ask. Since it wasn't my business and all…

"Annabeth, it wouldn't be gentlemanly to let you take the sofa, so," Then he pushed me towards the bed, "Take the bed."

He didn't push me hard enough for me to fall, face front in the bed. But just hard enough to push me to the edge of the bed. I stopped myself before I fell, and turned around. I grabbed a pillow of the bed, and threw it at his head. It was walking back to the sofa, so he didn't expect it. So, I was laughing hard when it hit him on the back of the head and he jumped. He grabbed the pillow from off the floor, and looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"This means war, Chase." He said as he gripped on the pillow with both hands.

"Alright," I said, grabbing two pillows in both my hands.

Mistake number one, I turned my back on him. The next thing I knew, I heard footsteps coming from behind me at a very fast past. When I turned around, Percy was so close to me. I ducked when he was about to swing at me, then pushed him into the bed.

"Ha!" I said as I ran to the other side of the room, and jumped over the sofa, and landed on the cool, smooth leather.

I smiled, believing at had won. Percy rolled over so that he was facing at me, and glared. Then he calmly stood up, and dusted himself off. And I don't know why he did that, the hotel room was so clean! Then he looked at me, and charged. When I say charged I mean full speed! I actually felt the littlest bit of fear, I threw a pillow at him but that didn't stop him. I decided to get up and run away….

*End of flashbacks*

It hurt me a little bit to think about those times. How I had ruined all of that by not trusting Percy. I had burned down all the bridges we managed to build. I felt someone looking at me and when I looked up, it was Percy. He was staring at me with a worried expression. I looked away and turned to Leo.

"Nah. Watch this!" He said as he ran over the side of the plane. He placed his hand over it and something scanned his hand. "Invisible awesome time."

Suddenly, the plane was gone. But Leo's hand was still in mid-air, pressing against an invisible wall. Leo grinned at amazed expressions on his friend's faces.

"Who's the best?" He asked.

"Definitely you, Leo." Will said as he stared at him, wide eyed.

"Alright, the boats are ready to go!" Percy yelled from the lake.

Everyone turned to face him.

"Alright then, let's go." Jason said as he started walking over to the boats.

I followed him and the rest followed me. There were three boats, so we separated into teams.

Jason, Piper and Leo were one group.

Will went with Mirabelle.

And of course, Percy and I were on the other boat.

I wanted to row the boat, but Percy didn't let me. He kept saying he could do it, since he was at his best when he was in water. But I didn't believe me. As he told me those things, all I could hear was; No, I'm the big strong man. Let me do this. Even if that was not what he was telling me.

But I was kind of glad Percy was rowing the boat. He got us to the other side quickly. The others took about six more minutes to reach shore, while we were already there. That happened because Jason made the mistake of letting Leo row that boat, he was spent about five minutes going in circles.

"Alright…where do we go now?" Piper asked as Jason helped her jump off the boat.

We all turned to Percy. He was the one who knew where they kept Chiron, Mirabelle did also, but at the moment I didn't feel like trusting her. I don't know why.

"I know where he is, but I don't know the name. But I can lead you there." Percy reassured.

He didn't know the name of the place where Chiron is being held captive….great. Maybe we should listen to Mirabelle…

"Alright, man. Lead the way." Leo said as he gestured for Percy to lead.

Percy smiled and walked into the forest.

*An hour later*

It was getting dark quickly.

I hadn't noticed what time it was when we landed, but we needed to find shelter, before it got too dark. There were always animals in the forests…like spiders. I shook that thought away, trying to calm down my heart beat.

"We should camp for the night." Mirabelle said as if reading my mind.

Great, now everyone can read my mind.

"I can make shelters out of these vines." Leo said as he gathered some loose vines that were hanging off the trees.

"Oh, me too! I remember from survival training." Piper said as she walked over to help him.

See? We wouldn't have known this without Chiron.

We're going to find you soon…

We all sprung into work. Some of us getting firewood, some started to prepare the food and others buit shelters. I felt like I was back in the training days, where Chiron would drop us off somewhere, and expected us to survive the night.

But why did I have a feeling that tonight…we might not survive.

I didn't like that feeling. I hadn't felt this before, not since I came here. But know I was more alert, all of a sudden. I could trust everyone here… right?

I was in a hurry! Sorry if it's bad or short!

More updates to come!
