Hey Guys,

So as promised I wrote you guys another weekly story! I am having a really good time writing about Percy and his sister and I got this awsome idea while I was talking to my friend.

So in this chapter, this is Rachel's POV of the entire camp's experience when they find out Percy and Annabeth are in Tartarus. If you remember in House Of Hades, Annabeth wrote on a napkin to Camp Half-Blood telling them everything that was going on and I decided to take that a little step further. Please please please, favourite, follow, and review this story. I honestly love writing for you guys and it really just makes my day!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson nor the characters but I do own Aria. SHE'S MINNEEE! (Ha... I'm not a freaky weirdo, please keep reading!)

Thank you guys so much again for the support and I love you guys so much! Kiss kiss!

Rachel POV

I sat next to Chiron at the head table, eating my pizza. I smiled at the site of seeing all the campers having a good time, honestly everything they've been through I feel like the deserve it. Everyone table was filled with chatter and laughter except for one. The Poseidon table. Aria Jackson, was sitting there, alone. Picking at her food. Her brother Percy Jackson, aka son of Poseidon, savior of olympus, child of the big three, defeater of Kronos, almost all of the ancient greek monsters, and my ex crush was fighting in the recent war against Gaia. I felt bad for Aria, her brother along with her best friend Annabeth Chase were both risking their lives again for the world and Aria couldn't do anything to help. I sighed. Before Annabeth left to find Percy and save the world she put the weight of the camp on Aria's shoulders forcing her to lead the camp. Aria along with Percy and Annabeth was known as a legend in camp. A legend meaning one of the key points in winning the Second Titan War. Most campers looked up to the legends including me. We all admired their bravery and will to do what's needed. Just by looking at Aria you could tell how pressured she felt by all of the things going on right now. I stood up and walked over to the Poseidon table.

"Hey." I said when I got there. Aria jumped and turned to see me. She quickly turned so her face was hidden from me, I watched as she wiped some tears away. She then looked at me again with a smile on her face, as if she wasn't just crying before.

"Hi Rachel, what's up?" She said in a casual tone.

"Aria, you don't have to act like that." I said taking a seat. I always envied the way the Legends hid their emotions so well.

"Act like what?" She asked covering mostly all of her previous emotions.

"I know you're stressed Aria. You don't have to act so tough in front of me. I'm chill." Her smile faded, her sea-green eyes turned dark like they usually were now-a-days.

"Thank you Rachel, but for the sake of the camp, I have to act this way. I mean… Annabeth put me in charge… she told me to lead, and I can't lead if I'm crying and moping all the time so..." I nodded not saying a word. I knew how most people wanted to be treated. They didn't sympathy they wanted empathy. "So uh… why did you come to my table?"

"Oh it's just… I uh…thought maybe you'd want a friend?" I stuttered. She chuckled. Wow, she was so much like her brother.

"Thank you, I really appreciate that." She put a hand on my shoulder, but soon took it off. We stayed silent for a long time. Her gorgeous sea-green eyes, ones I have learned to fall in love with, glued to the horizon. I studied Aria. Her facial features were naturally flawless. I couldn't find a single flaw on her face, no acne, no freckles, everything complimented each other. I studied how her hair fell into her face, and how she moved her hand to brush it away. I started to feel jealous. I started hating how she was so perfect. She made me feel bad about myself. I started hating her, until she turned and flashed me a million dollar grin, identical to her brother's. I smiled back, but instantly looked down. Her eyes focused again on the horizon. I noticed how she played with her ring on her middle finger. I remembered that was her weapon. When she touched the diamond in middle of it it turned into a long sword. I vividly remembered that it looked like ice, scaring most of her foes that it would freeze them in turn freezing their soul's. If their soul was frozen it would never make it to Tartarus, meaning it would never regenerate.

"Aria, you can't help Percy and Annabeth. Your not apart of the prophecy." I blurted out. Her face dropped, as if she just realized she can't do anything at all.

"I know." Was her simple answer.

"Aria trust me you can't do anything and if you try you could get hurt and that would also hurt Percy and Annabeth. They don't need you." Her eyes never met mine. Small tears started to roll down her flawless features. I had just realised my mistake. My words came out a lot harsher than they were meant to.

"Can you leave please." She asked, her voice was small and vulnerable.

"Aria don't push me away, I'm not leaving." I put my foot down.

"I really want to be left alone Rachel, please just go." Her voice no louder than a whisper.

I felt kind of crushed. I mean, Aria and I weren't best friends, but I thought that maybe I could be that person she went to when she had troubles and vice versa. I've never had anyone like that before and Aria just seemed like such a good person to go to. She was approachable, kind, sweet, everything anyone could want in a friend.

"Aria…" I said, reaching my hand out.

"You heard her Rachel she just wants to be left alone." a new voice said. I turned to see Malcolm, son of Athena/annabeth's half brother and more importantly Aria's boyfriend of 2 years. I shook my head again. "Seriously Rachel, you've been a great help but you need to get up and move. She'll be fine, I've got her." I could tell I was making him mad, his fists clenched together. Malcolm was a pacifist, he didn't like confrontation but he had a muscular build and could beat anyone up in 5 seconds if they were bothering him. I sighed and got up. I started walking away but not before turning to sneak one more peak of the couple behind me. Malcolm's strong arms were wrapped around Aria's small body. Her head was resting against his chest, and he was playing with a straid of her wavy raven hair. She wasn't crying, but simply needing his presence. I wish someone would need me like that. I started walking to somewhere I didn't know when Connor Stoll ran up to me.

"Rachel, I was at the offering fire and this thing flew out of it." I looked at it. It was on a napkin. It read, to anyone who finds this, please give this to Rachel. If this is Rachel please read the rest of this to the camp ~ Annabeth" I was shocked. I ran back over to the pavilion Connor not far behind me. I ran to Chiron and showed him the note.

"Chiron read this." I watched as the old centaur read the note. He eyes widen as he got the end of it. I refused to read it until I read it out to the camp. I wanted to find out what was so important when they did. Tears filled Chiron's eyes. I was shook, I've never seen Chiron so broken before.

"Read it to the group Rachel, right now." I nodded and stood on the table.

"Guys please quiet down I have an announcement… It's a note from Annabeth." Everyone immediately started to shut up. All eyes were on me. My eyes flickered to the Poseidon table. Aria was standing up, her emerald eyes filled with curiosity. I took a deep breath and began reading.

"Dear Rachel,

It's Annabeth, It's been a crazy ride, saving the world and all that jazz. Uh so… I was sent, by my mother to go find the Athena Pathos." All the children of Athena gasped. Most children of Athena that tried to find the Athena Pathos never returned. Actually finding it was close to impossible. "I found it!" Everyone cheered. I took another glance at Aria. She was smiling like the Chesire Cat. "But…" I read. Oh no, "but's" are never good. "Something really bad happened. In order to find the Athena Pathos I had to fight Arachne herself. I defeated her, by literally throwing her into Tartarus, but her web was caught around my leg. It pulled me down with her. Percy tried to save me, but got dragged in too. So bottom line is, Percy and I fell into Tartarus." I stopped reading. Everyone was silent. Our two leaders are fighting in Tartarus. I looked over to Aria again. Her face was in a completely shock. Malcolm was standing next to her. His hands on her shoulders. Tears streaming down his face. I jumped down from the table and ran over to her. Her eyes were glossed over. She started to fall down to her knees, Malcolm and I caught her and gently placed her on the floor. I put a hand on her arm. It was like someone froze her, no emotion, no tears, no nothing.

"Ar?" Malcolm asked, referring back to his nickname for her.

"P-Percy and Anna-beth are in he-ll?" She whispered. I pulled her into a hug, but she pushed me away. "No." She whispered. Her hands through her hair. "No." She said again. Malcolm put his arms around her waist and slowly started pulling her backwards, making her lean against him. "NO!" She finally yelled. Breaking down in her boyfriend's arms.

After about 2 hours of calming everyone down Chiron asked me to read the rest. I nodded and got back onto the table and read the rest.

"I know. Crazy, but we're going to make it through this, but as the moment we speak, the romans are on their way to Camp Half-Blood. They're preparing for war, the only way things can go back into order is if The Athena Pathos is put onto Half-Blood hill. Nico, Hedge, and Renya (Camp Jupiter's leader) are bringing it now, but be ready for the Romans, Percy and I are putting our trust in you guys to stand together and save our camp. We love you guys and we'll see you guys soon.

~Love Annabeth"

I finished and looked at everyone. Annabeth warned us and we had to be ready for our own war. Chiron ordered everyone to go to bed, lights out right away but I had to tell Aria something. I found her and Malcolm walking to the Poseidon cabin.

"Aria can I talk to you for a second." She nodded, she whispered something to Malcolm and followed me so we could talk in private. "Annabeth wrote something else on the note for you. I thought maybe you'd like to see it." She nodded and began reading to her.

"And Aria, I know I put a lot of pressure on you when I told you to lead the camp, but I did it because I know you can. You are a natural born leader and can do justice to our camp. Stay strong and don't show weakness for the sake of the campers. I love you so much and so does Percy. We'll see you soon.

~ Love Annabeth"

She smiled. Tears filled her eyes. She took the note from my hands and started rereading it. She then pulled me into a hug. I smiled as the smell of the ocean penetrated my nose. When she pulled away she looked me in the eyes and mouthed the words, "Thank you." I watched as she walked away from me into Malcolm's arms and into the Poseidon cabin. I smiled. Maybe I did get close to her like I wanted to.
