Disclaimer: I do not own PJO :(

I knew that sneaking out would not be an easy task.

The minute I walked into the cabin, I was immediately smothered by my brothers and sisters. I had to order them back into their beds to have them all shut up.

Normally, I wouldn't have abused my authority, but I had no choice as to their nagging. Finally, after 30 agonizing minutes of them watching me as though I was going to be abducted or something, the last of my siblings (which happened to be Malcolm) had gone asleep.

I made sure that he was surely asleep before I slid off my bed, then taking off my sweatpants, revealing my jean shorts and then pulled my hair into a ponytail. I put on my flip-flops and then tiptoed to the door.I made one look back again just to make sure they were all asleep, which they were, and then went out to the cabin.

The beach was calm. I loved the cool breeze and the sand that got caught in my flip-flops. It was warm and grainy , but it did good on me.

I felt oddly calm.

Hey, don't get me wrong, but a part of my mind was still very mad at that Kelp Brain. It kept reminding me of the ring. The ring.

I glared towards the directions of the waters.

A part of me was curious. What had Athena meant when she said "differences"?

Hmmm..Differences.

Well, I'm totally different with Rachel.

For one, I'm blonde, she's a red-head. I'm tan, she's well, pale-skinned. I'm smart...and she's well...something. And there's one obvious thing that made the two of us totally different: I'm a Half-blood, she's just a regular mortal.

I thought about it for a second. No...That's not it.

From afar, I saw Percy sitting on a blue checkered blanket, a picnic basket beside him. He was hugging his knees, eyes closed, as if he was concentrating on something.

Well, Percy and I were different. As in real different.

He's a boy for one thing. There's no proof to difference than that. Well, he's one of the the persons who couldn't use his brains much. No offense. He's got one of the thickest heads in history(Well, this might be an exaggeration.) And much more is that he was the son of my mother's rival.

But differences are what makes you stronger. A whisper came from a small part of my brain.

I pushed that thought away as I sat down beside Percy. The moon was shining brightly across the sky. I followed Percy's example and hugged my knees tight too.

The ocean calmed me as soon as the sounds of the waves reached my ears again.I let all the train of thought in my mind out, imagining them floating away with the waves in the ocean.

"It's a nice night isn't it?" I heard Percy ask. I turned my head to look at him and found his deep green eyes boring into my gray ones. I quickly looked away.

I smirked. "You tell me, you've been watching it all the time."

Percy took my hand, to which I didn't protest. He rubbed soothing patterns in it. I sighed then leaned my head against his shoulders.

I decided to break the silence. "What have you been doing all day?"

Percy shrugged. "Went out downtown. Got into a jewelry shop and then went to my Mom's Appartment." He said, looking at me. "How about you?"

"Well, I taught Archery, Worked with my laptop, walked around for a bit, watched the camp and the beach, talked to Athena..Hmmm.. that's about it."

Silence again. I decided that I needn't put up with this show any longer.

With anger eating out my insides, I smiled at Percy sweetly. "So...Did Rachel like her ring?"

Percy smiled. "Well, yes... She was jumping up and down when I gave it." He said, then frowned. "How did you know that?"

I whipped my hand off. "I guess I have my sources." I answered stiffly, with my hands folded across my chest.

Percy's face contorted with confusion. "What?"

"How about you? Are you happy that she likes the ring?"

Percy stared at her. "Of course, Wise Girl. It's hers." He said. "It's hers and she wants to keep ... why are we arguing about it? I don't see why you're going on about this. It's her ring."

"Well, Percy. Why don't you reflect on it?" I retorted. "How do you think would I react if I saw my boyfriend hanging out with her ex?"

Percy looked as confused as ever. I rolled my eyes. Boys...

"You...uhmm...You weren't spying, weren't you?"

I rolled my eyes again then said. "Oh, please. I'm a daughter of Athena. I don't need to spy " I said. "Really Percy? How would you think would I react if I saw my boyfriend give his ex a diamond ring while kneeling?" I said then got up.

Percy promptly followed me. "Annabeth. Wait." He said, catching my wrist. "Hey...It's not-"

"What's not Percy? Tell me." I said. "I saw everything." I said, yanking my wrist back.

I was about to walk up to cabins when something appeared on the forest line.

A Hellhound sprang out and bounded towards my direction. I sidestepped then stabbed the black wall of fur and then it exploded into golden dust.

Next thing I know, I was fighting back to back with Percy. There was a bunch of Scythian Dracanea, telekhines, and Empousa were attacking us.

We were outnumbered ten to one. That's not much of a big deal usually, but fighting without proper armors didn't give much of the odds to us. I could see behind them was an old enemy.

"Ahh.. 'Ze 'ero and Heroine of Olympus. Taking a walk along ze beach." He sneered.

I scowled. How were they able to get in? "I thought you'd be in Tartarus right now?" I asked, while fighting off a bunch of telekhines with my trusty knife. "Or you want to have your butt kicked into there again?"

Percy grunted as he concentrated. He managed to pulvurize two empousa in one swipe.

"Silence Demigod." He snarled. "Attack Zem!"

My mind was working. We were surrounded and outnumbered.

The odds of us defeating them are pretty slim and the best way that we could get out of this is while we fought back to back. Percy was invulnurable, while I can guard with my knife. There was still 70% chance, and I'm not sticking up to those.

The odds that I calculated, didn't seem to matter anymore as more and more monsters seemed to have come from everywhere. On the bright side, the chaos seemed to have alerted the camp.

I saw Chiron, Leo, Travis, Connor, Clarrise, Katie, Malcolm, and Will join the ruckus.

But I didn't have the chance to fight anymore. I was picked up by a storm spirit into the air. This is so not good. Anemoi Thuellai didn't usually take part within these things. I tried to swing my knife around, but it's not easy beating a storm spirit when you're hauled up in the air.

"ANNABETH!" I heard Percy scream.

I flailed more. "PEERRRRCCYYYY!" I yelled back as I was hauled up higher into air.

The last thing I saw was the chaos in the Long Island sound.

*gasps* Annabeth? Taken? As in Literally? Oh my.. Haha. I'm so very evil }:)

So anyone liked it? How about clicking the little button called review and having your say? I'd appreciate it very much. :D
