House of Hades

Chapter 2

Hi guys, I know this chapter is a bit short but I promise the next one will be a long one. Im sure all of you wanted a chapter on how Percy and Annabeth are doing and so here it is! And once again please take the time to review, it takes quite a while to write these but only 30 seconds to review and it really does motivate you!

Percy

Pain was ripping through his body, tearing every muscle apart. He tried to breathe but his lungs were on fire, they were falling, falling, falling. The Styx was nothing compared to this. How long or how far they had fallen Percy did not know. He couldn't think. He couldn't see. He couldn't hear. He was only just aware of the hand gripping on to him, every time he remembered Annabeth was right there with him the pain subsided just a little, but soon came back with brute force.

Seconds, minutes, hours or days had passed since they had fallen into Tartarus. Percy did not know. Every so often a horrific monster would pass by, even more horrific than Hades underwear (which, unfortunately he had seen) and a voice would come into his head, that same earthly voice. Gae. You have fallen little ones, fallen, fallen, fallen.

After what felt like eternity, they started to slow down, and the pain started to lessen. But it was a long time until they slowed to a stop and landed on hard, solid rock. His head felt like someone had split it in half with a battleaxe, in other words, not very good. Percy moved his hand to the face of the person lying next to him. "A-Annabeth," he croaked. That was all that mattered to him, if Annabeth was alright. A soft sound was issued from her lips, and she slowly rolled over to him and he wrapped his arms around her protectively. She buried her face into his chest and he kissed the top of her head. They stayed in that position for a long time, until Percy slowly moved her of him and got to his knees.

"We have to move, if we don't find the doors of death by the end of the month, then Gae will destroy the world, and for all we know we could of being falling for nearly a month."

"yer, I know. Come on, lets save the world seaweed brain." She replied.

"Sure thing, Wise Girl."
