Chapter 4:The escape.
(Annabeth 3rd POV)
As Percy and Annabeth reached the exit, they come across the same river Percy used to wrap up Nyx. They don't have a way across, and it seemed to be at least 50 feet across, so they couldn't jump, perhaps...
"Percy, try to block the water on both sides, so we can walk on the seafloor without touching the water" She suggested. This would be the only logical action to take.
"Why not just swim?" he said.
"Because that's one of the 5 great rivers of the underworld; it's the river of misery." She pointed out.
"Well, I've had enough misery for one trip" Percy said, then splitting the river like Noah, they walked across, but all the while, it whispered in their ears.
"Traitors. Murderers. You have killed many. Join us, and you right your wrongs. You let Zoe die, you let Biana die, and you killed Luke. You should be ashame-
"Shut up!" Percy yelled, as he blasted the water back far enough they couldn't be seen, Percy stumbled, then regained balance, he then looked over at Annabeth, who had heard the same voices, and was visibly upset at what they had said. How did they know about all of that? There was no way. But all Annabeth could think was: 'I didn't kill Luke, I didn't kill Luke, I didn't kill Luke, I didn't kill Luke'
Voice starts out as Luke's and then merges into Percy's voice
"Annabeth? Annabeth?Annabeth? Annabeth!"

Annabeth snapped back to reality, and realized Percy was hugging her. His embrace was so warm, she wanted to stay there forever, with Percy protecting and loving her.
"Hey, it's alright." he whispered. Then she remembered they had to get out of there, and couldn't stand making Percy defend her, she would feel too guilty.
"Thanks" she whimpered.
"Let's go" she said
Once they reached the other side, Annabeth heard the water rush back to the place they were, but when she looked back, it appeared the river was miles away, even though they just exited the river.
She then looked back and noticed someone with a broom, and glowing hair, coming in around from the hills.
"Friends!" Bob boomed. He had a bit of damage, most likely with an encounter with some monsters, but appeared for the most part ok. As Bob hobbled towards them, and hugged them. But then, out of nowhere, he dropped them. "What's wrong Bob?" Percy asked. Then Bob slowly looked behind them, as the Army of Monsters had sneaked up on them. And at the front was Krios and Hyperion. The three of them were stunned; How did this horde of Monsters sneak up on them so quietly and quickly. But now they were in a problem, there were almost endless monsters, and two titans, against two demigods and a titan, head on. This would be the fight of their lives, if they wanted to make it out alive. Even the fight with Nyx would not be as intense, as with Nyx, she was not proficient with a sword, while the titans and monsters had been honing their skills for millenia.
"Well, this is gonna suck" Percy admitted.
"Attack!" yelled Krios. All monsters surged forward towards Annabeth, Percy, Bob and Small Bob.
Together, the four got ready to fend off the Army of Tartarus.
