Here's my next chapter I know it's very short, but I promise I will post part 2 to this chapter up very soon! In fact I'll start writing it right now! Hopefully the second part will be up before the day is out.

Leo had fallen asleep as soon as she had told him to. Whatever Gaea had said to him seemed to have broken his spirits. That infuriated Annabeth to no end. Gaea knew the powers of mental warfare quite well, and how to tear someone down without even lifting a finger. Annabeth remembered a time that Percy had the same self-doubts as Leo. The son of Poseidon had somewhat grown out of those feelings which had probably been a result of living with Gabe for twelve years.
Just by looking at the son of Hephaestus she could tell he wasn't sleeping restfully, but it was still sleep. She saw Leo as a brother at times, even if he was annoying. She wished she had a pillow for his head at least. Gaea wasn't for comfort, she wanted them to suffer. Annabeth kept her eyes on the earth goddess. Something big was about to happen. Annabeth could feel it, and it didn't feel good at all.
Suddenly a figure appeared. She couldn't make out who it was, but the aura he gave off made her heart sink. He was the game changer. He was going to shift the tides in Gaea's favor. Annabeth felt her heart shatter into a hundred pieces. Even if they did stop Gaea from killing them, this guy was going to put a stop to the future Percy saw for her and him.
"So you know what to do, right?" Gaea asked the figure.
He nodded, "And you'll give me what I want."
"Complete control of your mother's domain of course." the earth goddess purred. "Now go and do as I ask."
The shadow dissipated to preform the terrible deed. Tears were running down Annabeth's face. Her hope had been all but shattered, she knew Percy was strong, but could he resist the magic that was going to be thrown at him? She had a sinking feeling in her heart telling her that he probably couldn't. The daughter of Athena glared at Gaea with an intensified hate.
"I am going to kill you." She promised.
"You're as foolish as Jackson, I can not die," Gaea pointed out. "So you might as well save your energy for something else."
"I'm a daughter of Athena, I can find ways to, I am adapt in the ways of making my enemy suffer."
"Just keep your mouth shut and watch the show." Gaea hissed.
Annabeth's attention was brought back to the screen. It was focused on Percy who was carrying the boat he had discovered earlier across the island. She had to admit he looked kind of adorable with the fierce determination that was creased onto his face. He had a plan, or at least an idea. Just as he was reaching the beach, Annabeth's worst nightmare appeared...
Who is this mysterious guy? What is Gaea's plan now? Stay tuned for part 2 which I hope to have posted tonight. Sorry this is very short, but I hope I won't keep you waiting too long.
