Hey guys here is the next chapter. I'm trying to up date more frequently so please keep reading and tell me if you would like to see some of my other fanfictions soon. Along with this story I am working on my crossover for my other story that is from Annabeth's point of view.
As always, I do not own Percy Jackson or the Heros of Olympus they belong to Rick Riordan
Watching Percy hanging around Calypso was not something Annabeth enjoyed doing. She disliked the fact that Gaea was trying to push the two together even more. The daughter of Athena knew she didn't have to worry about her boyfriend being unfaithful. Her real concern came from the sea nymph. If Gaea succeed in making Calypso fall in love with Percy again then she might lose him.
The whole day they spent together was filled with the two being completely awkward. Percy was obviously trying to make up for leaving Calypso alone while also trying to convince her not to join Gaea. Much to Annabeth's dismay there was a twinge of longing in the sea nymph's eyes. It was now into the afternoon and the two were enjoying a salad picnic on the beach.
"Very clever. The whole 'mishap' with the boat." Annabeth sneered. "Now you have the skills of cheesy love story writer."
Gaea laughed, "Insult me all you want daughter of Athena, but I will succeed. As I said it's not about what the son of Poseidon wants. It's about Calypso."
"How do you know that she still is into him?" Leo challenged. He gripped the bars in front of him. "For all you know she could have found someone else."
"Like you?" Gaea jabbed cruelly. "Highly unlikely."
Annabeth growled, but decided it was better not to keep provoking the goddess to talk. She was already digging her nails into her skin to stop herself from throwing anymore insults at the earth goddess. Gaea wanted them to focus on her. Grabbing Leo's arm she pulled him farther to the back of the cage.
"Don't let her get to you Leo."
"Like you?" he asked accusingly. "If we weren't behind bars you'd be attacking her, immortal or not."
The daughter of Athena sighed as she inspected her hands. Crescent shapes went down her palms. She really didn't like how much Gaea was pushing her buttons, but she couldn't stop herself from getting angry. After months from being separated from Percy the only thing that she could seem to do was keep losing him. That was the most irritating thing about their whole situation.
"I admit I need to take my own advice, but Leo we need to keep our heads clear in order to find out our way out of here." She told him.
Leo's face flushed, "You don't think I know that! You don't think I'm trying to ignore her."
"We need to do better, both of us." She hissed at him. "The longer we're angry at her, the less time we're going to have to plan."
After a long moment the Latino nodded his head of curly hair. With a huff of relief Annabeth let her mind go into over time. How could they get free? Maybe she could try entering the dreams of one of the seven on board Argo. She thought about when she had been able to contact Percy through a dream, though it was only briefly, she could never forget.
He looked at her as if she weren't real. The puppy dog eyes he wore on his face made her heart melt and sink at the same time. It was probably the most adorable and scariest face he had ever given her. Annabeth knew that somehow she had connected her dream with Percy's. Grover had too, but that was because of their empathy link. She remembered the indignant bleat of despair Grover gave when he told her that Percy didn't recognize him.
Could she be able link her dreams with Piper, or Jason, Frank or Hazel? What about Nico?
"Annabeth?" Leo asked pulling her from her thoughts. He had a mixture of worry and annoyance on his face. A look Annabeth has given Percy many times.
"I think I have an Idea."
Leo's dark brown eye became wide open. "Really? What?"
"First." Annabeth whispered. "I need to fall asleep."
His face melted into disbelief.
"We're riding our whole plan on you getting some beauty rest?" Leo scoffed. "That's great, maybe I should call you Beauty queen from now on."
Annabeth rolled her eyes, "I'm going to try to connect my dream with one of the others on the Argo."
"You've lost it." Leo hissed.
"No, it's possible." Annabeth insisted as she leaned closer to him. "I've done it before just before we found Percy. And I know that Percy is able to do it, sometimes at his own will."
"Sometimes he can dream walk purposely?" The son of Hephaestus scowled at her. "I thought that children of Athena based their decisions off of facts not theories."
"It may be kind of 'iffy' but it's all we have Repair Boy." she pointed out.
"Fine." He agreed ruefully. "But if this doesn't work, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Shut it and keep watch." Annabeth ordered as she lied down.
She closed her eyes and tried to drift off. Focusing her thoughts on the Argo she fell asleep. Maybe she'd end up sucked into someone's dream. Sure enough she found herself on the ship. Walking into a bronze hallway she looked for the nearest room. Frank had fallen asleep on a couch, but he looked really different. His face was no longer pudgy with baby fat.
"Wow." She found herself muttering. The formerly bear like boy twitched in his sleep as if he had heard her. "Frank can you hear me?"
Frank's eyes fluttered slightly as he was drawn into consciousness. Hope fluttered in her chest as Frank's eyes casted upward to her. The poor son of Mars nearly jumped out of his skin at the sight of her. Tears flooded his eyes.
"Oh, no." He muttered. "I was sure you...you and Percy would. Nico said. Oh gods, is...is Percy...oh man."
"We're not dead Frank." She assured him. He had a mixture of relief and confusion cross his features. "But Frank, Leo, Percy, and I are in trouble."
"Leo? Leo's alive!"
"Yeah, but Gaea is planning on killing Leo and I in two or three days." Annabeth informed him. "We need you guys to find us, maybe Nico can come and shadow travel to us and spring Leo and I free."
"I could see." Frank agreed. "but what about Percy? Isn't he with you."
Annabeth frowned. "No Frank he's..."
She didn't get to finish telling him where Percy was. Annabeth was yanked away and brought into a new place. A beautiful tropical island encased by night. She recognized it as Calypso's island.
"Calypso, are you willing to fight?" The familiar voice reached her ears. Turning around Annabeth saw Percy, he looked tired, but determined as he talked to the sea nymph.
Calypso took in a slow breath. "If I have to, yes."
Percy looked ahead. Annabeth could almost swear he was looking directly at her, but he didn't seem to be seeing her, it was almost as if he was looking at something beyond her. When his eyes left her he gave no indication of noticing her presents.
"But Percy," Calypso spoke again. "How are we going to be able to stop her? There are only two of us and she can bring her minions at a whim."
"Magic." Percy shrugged. "Look, I know that the odds aren't in our favor, and more than likely we're probably going to get our butts kicked or worse trying. But isn't it better to do something rather than nothing?"
Calypso placed a hand on Percy's shoulder. Annabeth instinctively became defensive. How dare she touch him? Percy, almost as if he sensed Annabeth's presents shrugged off Calypso's hand. Like the gentleman he was he didn't say anything about her display of affection. Either that or he thought little of it.
"It's getting late." Calypso told him. "You've had a trying day. You should get to rest."
For the first time Annabeth noticed the lines underneath Percy's eyes. His complexion was pale and his posture was kind of lagging. Begrudgingly the daughter of Athena agreed that her Seaweed brain should get some sleep. Part of her however wondered what the sleeping arrangements were going to be. She highly doubted that Calypso had two beds.
"I'll sleep on the floor." He insisted before trudging towards the cave miserably.
Annabeth wanted to stop him, reach out and stroke his cheek, but she was asleep and he couldn't see her. With her hand outstretched almost longingly the daughter of Athena watched as the boy she loved walked away.
"I won't let anything bad happen to him." Calypso murmured before walking in the same direction as Percy. Annabeth pondered if the statement had been directed to her or if it was a promise Calypso was making to herself.
That is the end of this chapter please keep reading. I might go out side of the four point of views I've written in third person. I was thinking of either bringing in one of the seven's point of view. So far I've only done Calypso, Leo, Annabeth, and Percy's point of views. I will try to keep updating faster.
