Hey guys! I decided to start answering questions that people have asked in the reviews, and to respond to peoples good, made me happy reviews!

takemeto1nderland: I like it, so far, but just a little question: didn't annabeth have a broken ankle or something? Oh well apart from that, it's really good. Update soon :), Annabeth actually had a sprained wrist, and a bruised shin. Percy got a broken leg, and probably a concussion(twice).

Well, that's the only review that had a question, so please keep it up, and since I am now on vacation, you can expect an update possibly everyday! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and have a nice day!


Percy

Percy was really hating Tartarus, no question about it. He has almost been killed twice in one day, twice! And the look Annabeth had after each time, it was breaking his heart. If it weren't for Annabethhe probably would've given up and just died. But Percy couldn't do that to her, so he kept going, for her sake.

But dear gods of sweet Olympus, Tartarus was huge! They have travelled two whole miles, he didn't think it was this big when he first saw it, four years ago. The worst part was that they were running low on Nectar and Ambrosia. The next worse part, they had no clue where they were going. They were just wandering around, hoping they would stumble across the Doors of Death.

Percy's left leg felt like it was on fire, and that didn't feel pretty. He had to admit, the splint Annabeth made is working very well. He didn't know how he could survive if Annabeth had died from the fall. No, he definitely wouldn't have survived. She was his whole world, her dying, it would've been like someone taking away the oxygen, he would've just withered up and died.

"Annabeth?" he asked.

"Yes?" she replied.

"What would you have done if I died?" he questioned.

"I-I-I," she asked, the question obviously upsetting her, "Wh-why do you ask?"

"I'm sorry Annabeth." Percy began, holding her close, "I was just thinking of what I would've done, if you didn't make it."

"But we shouldn't worry about it," she said, choking up, "It didn't happen, we both made it, so we shouldn't wonder about it."

"Annabeth," Percy said, looking into her beautiful gray eyes, "if you didn't make it, I probably would've let the nearest monster kill me." Annabeth started to cry again, but Percy felt like he had to say it, just so she knew how important she was to him. Annabeth began clutching him in a desperate hug, and Percy grabbed her with the same desperation. It really was real, they were in Tartarus, together, so naturally they were scared for eachothers well being.

She began to cry into Percy's chest, and Percy began crying as well. Why, why couldn't we just get a break! It's been bad thing, after bad thing! Why couldn't we just live happily ever after? Percy kissed Annabeth on her forehead. Suddenly, his knees felt weak and he fell back against the wall. She was still holding him, and Percy didn't want it any other way. He looked down at her, her tears stained her beautiful face, he wiped them away gently with his thumb.

Annabeth looked up at him, and he kissed her slowly, enjoying the sensation. Percy could feel her hands going through his hair, when she pulled away and gasped, leaving Percy stunned. "PERCY!" she screamed, "YOUR BLEEDING!" He saw her hands were covered in blood.

"Whoa!" he said, feeling dizzy all of a sudden. The last thing he heard was Annabeth screaming his name.

Percy heard the two voices he never wished to hear for the rest of his life. He heard Stheno and Euryale, the Gorgons. But they were talking to someone who sounded familiar.

"Perseus Jackson is here, in Tartarus!" the voice said.

"We know, but we were waiting to attack for you, dear sister." Euryale said.

"Then what are we waiting for! Grab your weapons and armor! As soon as we're ready, we'll make him regret ever setting foot on our turf!"

"But Medusa, shouldn't we just let them sleep, they looked so adorable, crying and snuggling together!" Stheno said, Medusa was the third voice!

"NO! I've been reforming for years! I will now have my vengeance! I will make him a statue, and destroy the child of Athena!" Medusa shouted.

"But why not just ler them enjoy eachothers embrace a little longer! There's nothing like watching a young couple in their final embrace!" Stheno said, again.

"THEY WILL DIE! We begin going, it should be about twenty minutes anyway! I'm sure they'll be done cuddling by that time!" and now the dream faded...

Percy bolted upright, startling Annabeth who had fallen asleep in his lap, still holding onto him. She began kissing Percy again, clearly overjoyed that he was alive. He couldn't help but get caught up in the moment a little, and he ran his fingers along her back. but then when she stopped to catch her breath, he remembered his dream. "Annabeth," he said, almost in a whisper, "the Gorgons are coming!" that got her attention.

"The Gorgons!"she shouted, a little loudly, "You mean Stheno and Euryale?"

"Medusa's reformed as well!" Percy said, his voice choking up as he saw the expression on Annabeth's face. "We need to get ready, they said they would be here shortly."

"How do you know?" she asked.

"In my dream." Percy said. He noticed that Annabeth was trembling, "What's wrong?"

"I-I-It's just, we can't fight all three, and I don't want to lose you!" she was beginning to have tears form in her eyes now.

"Annabeth, we can do this, we can fight them!" Percy said, looking into her gray eyes, "And then we'll find the Doors of Death, and get out of Tartarus!" She nodded and wiped her eyes.

"How though, we're out numbered, and we're in no shape to fight them!" she sounded so demoralized, that it broke his heart.

"Annabeth, we can do anything together, I mean, we killed Medusa when we were twleve!" Percy said, trying to comfort her. That's when they started to hear the hissing sound, like the snakes on the Gorgon's heads. He grabbed riptide, and Annabeth grabbed her knife. They began to try to keep their eyes protected, so they wouldn't accidentally look into Medusa's eyes.

"Ssssoooo, we finally meet again, Perseus Jackson!" Medusa's voice could be heard.

"Long time, no see, Snake Breath!" Percy said, keeping his eyes averted.

"Percy!" Annabeth whispered urgently, "use my cellphone!" and she handed him her cellphone.

"No offense, but I really don't want to take pictures of her!" Percy stated.

"No, Seaweed Brain! Use it to cut off her head!" she hissed.

"Oh. Right. I knew that!" he hissed back. He took her phone, switched it to camera mode, and began slowly moving towards Medusa. Naturally, being the dumb brained idiot he was, he forgot about Stheno and Euryale. He heard Annabeth scream, and then something hit him like a snowplow! He looked up from the camera, and saw Stheno had tackled him.

"Sorry Percy, but don't worry, Annabeth will join you in the Underworld!" and then Stheno giggled. She was about to dive her blade down when she squawked and blew up into dust. He saw that Annabeth slashed her while she was distracted. Euryale roared and charged at Annabeth, but forgot that I was nearby, so I swung up onto one knee, and rove the blade into Euryale's chest. Her eyes bugged out, and then she exploded. That left only Medusa.
