Hey everybody! This is the next chapter of The Lost Princess; enjoy!

Percy POV:

"Make a wish."

"What?" Annabeth asked, staring at me. We were on the balcony, and I lit a mini candle. It was a celebration towards this kingdom.

"Make a wish. I'll make one too. Mom made this cupcake," I said, putting the candle on top of the cupcake. "And that is your wish. We can do this every year you know."

Annabeth kissed me. The sky was quite dark, and quite wonderful to see. "Of course. And…we can make updates to the buildings!"

"Updates…I like it!" I exclaimed enthusiastically. Annabeth smiled.

"This kingdom is going to be great. With you and me working on this together; it'll be a sensation; a history!" Annabeth gleamed. I nodded, and I handed her the cupcake.

"So make a wish," I said. She closed her eyes, and so did I. I don't know what her wish was, but my wish was: Please…make Annabeth be safe. Please make Tyson and Mom be safe as well. In general, please make everybody be safe.

I blew the candle, and so did Annabeth. When we were done, we started eating the cupcake. We had a little war with the icing (smearing it on each other's face! Quite fun…), and finally ate properly. After that, I went away, cascading into the dark to where Mom and Tyson should be…

…

The next day, Annabeth and I strolled in the meadows. It was quite wonderful, because the morning breeze made me feel awakened, and Annabeth the way Annabeth would constantly twirl around soon made her rubber band fall off. She looked quite beautiful.

"Percy! I'm starting to feel dizzy!" she said, twirling around slower.

"Then stop," I said, smiling.

"I can't…I think I'm getting a bit to frantic!" she exclaimed. I quickly dove in, and scooped her up. Annabeth stopped, and put her hands over her head.

"Thanks…I'm starting to not get dizzy," she exclaimed. I nodded.

Then, we had some fun.

King Fredrick POV:

There is one person ruining my life.

Everybody is gone to so sort of new village.

Whoever chose to make the decision will pay the price.

And I know who that person is.

Annabeth Chase…you think you can beat me? I'm Fredrick…and I'll make sure you pay that ultimate price!

Annabeth POV:

"Run Annabeth! Are you crazy? Run!" I heard Frank's voice shout frantically. Percy and I turned around, and there I saw Hazel run behind him.

"His majesty is looking for you. Oh…you're in big trouble," Hazel said.

"What are you-," Percy exclaimed.

"Percy…Annabeth needs to run away. The village is not in good condition-,"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, starting to avert my attention on the village.

"Well, guards are pushing people out and searching for you-,"

And before anyone of them said a word, I ran out. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I halted when I saw Dad ordering guards. People were pushed aside, and children were crying hard. I started to sneak away, and gladly, no guards caught me. Once I entered the secret entrance I built, I ran up the staircase.

And once I went up there, I saw a guard.

"Your majesty, I-,"

And once I punched him in the face, he dropped his phone. I grabbed hold of it, and started to punch his face. We fought till finally I knocked him out. He fell unconscious, and I smiled. When I heard Dad's frantic voice trying to see what happened…it was quite hilarious. But the way the condition was right now…it wasn't time to laugh. I hung off, and put the phone in my pocket. Did I have my recorder? Check. Alright, now let me just press the announcing button and…

"Annabeth, please, don't do this," I heard Percy wail.

"Percy, I-,"

"Annabeth…we can figure out a way! We were always capable of that!"

"Percy, this is it. I need to turn myself in."

"Annabeth-,"

"This is a favor," I said, tears forming in my eyes. He was already crying.

"Annabeth, listen to me-,"

"This is the reality. And I am the cause of this stupid reality. So Percy…listen up…this is your duty; you cannot reveal that you helped me!"

"Annabeth…the reality…what if we change it into a good reality?"

"Percy," I said, tears falling down. "There is no such thing as good reality. There will always be bitter, hard reality that will hit you every single minute of your life. And I…I am one of the unlucky ones. I chose this, and I will pay whatever my dad tells me too. I will pay that price. But you…you cannot."

"Annabeth!"

"Percy, listen up!" I shouted so loud that both of us were silent.

"Percy…I'm sorry. But the people need me. Dad needs me. And what I mean by that is the way he is going to torture me. I'll be fine. You know I am a strong girl. You know that I am a capable of making a plan. Percy…stay strong. Take care of this village. And remember…" I paused. "Remember that I love you."

When I said those words, he kissed me. I can't believe that this was the last time I could ever suck in that good feeling I had hanging out with Percy. I can't believe I will face the punishment.

And I can't believe I am scared.

Percy let me go after that, and I announced, "King, I will go in honor of the people. I, Annabeth Chase, will turn myself in!"

And after that, I ran down the steps. Before I did, I handed Percy a recorder. "If you hear his voice on the phone, accept it, and quickly record his promises and words. Do you understand?"

Percy nodded. And I left. Soon, everybody hurled around, and I was forced to go to dungeon.

I was forced.

But I know I will soon be free like a bird.

I won't…no I will never, be that girl resting on the stupid cage.

Just saying!
