It's been a while have a chapter for your troubles.

Clarisse's POV

I finally finished that damn battle with my dad's ex...absolutely disgusting, and continued on my way. I noticed that I was starving and I had eaten through all the food supplies I brought. How long have I been down here? I need to wrap this up as quickly because I miss Annabeth. Wait. That logic didn't follow, I need to get out of here because I've run out of food and I'm really low on water. But I do wish that I was with Annabeth, I can't quite understand it but I just have a really bad feeling. Like something bad is happening to her right now and there's nothing I can do to save her.

"Don't you think you should worry about yourself, instead of your little girlfriend." A voice said being me.

I turned to see no one other than my father. Standing there in full battle armor.

"I saw you win that battle against Tyverina." He continued.

"I'm sorry her name was what!" I asked.

"Not important kid, here." He said and a brand new electric spear appeared in the air and I grabbed it. It looked more advanced and better than the one Jackson broke.

I watched as he snapped his fingers and I saw his prized Pit Bull Polemos.

"Polemos, there's my baby." I said as the giant dog tackled me to the floor. The only good thing about my father is this awesome dog.

"Do not call the vicious hound of war your baby." My father says glaring at me. The 'vicious war hound' was laying on his back crying for a belly rub.

"Sorry Father." I said while rubbing Polemos belly. " Do you know how Annabeth is doing?"

I looked over and he was gone, jerk.

"OK Polemos, let's get out of here." I said and he barked happily and started sniffing for a way out.

Annabeth's POV

When I emerged from the darkness I was trapped inside a cage. I was looking around trying to see if there was a way out.

"There's no reason for you to look there's no way out." I heard Lukes voice from behind me.

I have no idea how long I was in this stupid cage probably a couple of days. I saw Luke walk into the room.

"What are you doing Luke, let me go." I demanded.

"After you've served your purpose." He replied and with that some monsters came and pulled my cage so that it was right next to I giant man. As I looked at him I realized where we were, the place where the sky and the earth meet. I was looking at none other than the Titan Atlas.

The cage opened up at all angles and Atlas rolled out stating only one word.

"Catch." He said standing tall as the weight of the world...literally fell on my shoulders. Never has there been a time that I have felt something do intense. Well that's not really true, whenever I'm close to Clarisse I feel something really intense. But this is obviously different because Clarisse always gives me a happy and content felling and this was crushing the life out of me.

"Free that young girl." I heard a voice call as a volley of arrows flew in every direction.

"Ah, Artemis you've made it." Atlas said.

"Let her go, or you'll face my wrath." Artemis replied.

"Now, now don't be so hasty. If you don't take Annabeth's place she'll collapse and die." Atlas said smirking. I hated to admit it but every second that I held it I felt the strength sapping out of my body.

"I will force you back into your place and free her." Artemis said glaring at him.

Now I cannot attest to what exactly happened on account of the fact that I couldn't see straight and I felt my arms beginning to falter. Soon before I could realize it Artemis had come over and took the weight of the sky off of me and I immediately lost consciousness. When I woke up again I was back in the cage. Luke came over and released me and stood me at his side.

"Look Annabeth the time of the gods is coming to a close and you need to come to the side of Lord Kronos." He said.

"No way Luke you've completely lost it." I told him. He looked as though he was extremely saddened by my answer.

"You can bring Clarisse if you want the merrier..." He started.

"Don't you dare bring Clarisse into this!" I yell at him.

That's when Percy, Thalia and the others came in to combat Atlas and Luke. They ended up saving me and forcing Atlas to hold the sky again. We had the emotional death of Zoe and Artemis brought us all back to Olympus to the Council of the Gods. We went through that entire meeting the gods voted on whether or not to kill Percy and Thalia, which thankfully was a no. Then the gods through a giant party that was by far the best party I've ever been too. But I couldn't stop thinking about Clarisse had she returned to camp yet? Was she thinking of me? Did she miss me?

"You know you'll get worry lines if you keep stressing." A gentle voice said behind me.

"I turned and saw Clarisse...no that's wrong she was small and slender, she didn't have a single muscle in sight.

"Lady Aphrodite" I said bowing slightly.

"Relax and enjoy the party you have my word that Clarisse will be back at camp waiting for you." She said smiling. So I did exactly what she said, I tried to have fun but my heart wasn't in it. My heart belonged to Clarisse and it was wherever she was.

I walk over to where Percy was only to see my mother. I spent the rest of the night hanging out with Percy and Grover.

When we made it back to camp it was freakishly early in the morning we went straight to the Big House where we found Chiron and the other senior counselors talking.

"I have news" Clarisse said looking at us.

"Tomorrow is soon enough you two, and Clarisse have just arrived back to camp and it's time for you guys to go to the infirmary to get checked out." He said making a dismissing motion with his hands before anyone could protest.

Clarisse's POV

Chiron had sentenced us to the infirmary but I obviously didn't go I went to our spot and waited for Annabeth to show up.

"Are you waiting for me?" I heard her ask from behind me.

"Not really sure who you are stranger?" I said pretending to be confused.

She sat down next to me and put her head on my shoulder

"I've missed you." I said breaking the silence.

"I missed you more, you were in thew Labyrinth forever." She said.

"Well how do you think I felt when I came to camp and they told me you were kidnapped." I said. "I wanted to beat Jackson silly for not taking better care of you."

"Hey, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"I know I just felt bad that I wasn't able to protect you." I said lamely. "I mean you're my girl and I left you alone for weeks with an incompetent loser."

"Your girl?" She asked, looking at me hopefully.

I blushed and she smiled. "Well, if you want to be I guess."

In response she leaned up and kissed me.

"I thought you never ask." She said.

I got up and she stood with me and I held her tight. I was lost those days I had without Annabeth. I wish I could physically hold her so she was always close to me.

"Do you want to come back to my cabin and nap with me?' She asked.

WOAH! WAIT! HUH?! I couldn't believe she had just said that. Of course I wasn't gonna say no to her this is like a dream.

"Yeah, sounds great." I replied. I tried not to think about the fact that all the Cabins would be starting their daily activities and we would basically be alone in there.

Alone...Together...Me and her and no one else. OK mind out of the gutter La Rue. Annabeth took my hand and lead me in the direction of her Cabin. This would be an interesting day.
