Hey!! I'm back from Florida!! I'm all tan and pretty :D haha sorry it took like a week to update. But I couldn't find a computer =P So now I'm updating!! Yay!!

I watched as Poseidon laid the sea green shroud into the flames. They had wanted me to speak at the funeral. But I couldn't. If I opened my mouth I was pretty sure I would start screaming. I just couldn't take this all in. It was crazy. First Luke, then Percy? It was like life was trying to run me over. The two people that I really wanted… dead? The thing that made it worse was that all these guys kept trying to hit on me too. I mean, I was happening before all this. But I never really minded it then. Now they were just reminding me every second of the day the guy I really want to be with isn't any of them. And worst that he's never coming back. Thanks.

"He was the best son I'd ever had" Poseidon said, tearing up.

Everyone got up and started walking back to the big house. I just sat there watching the flames die out. I heard someone stepping behind me. Thalia.

"Annabeth, come on. It's getting dark." She said softly.

"Yeah, ok" I said getting up. I didn't really want to leave. Because that would mean he was really gone. I thought maybe if I sat here, he would come back. Like the first time I thought he was dead. He had come back at the funeral. But, this time I knew that wouldn't happen. I mean I had saw him die.

I got up and walked towards my cabin.

"Aren't you gonna eat dinner?" Thalia yelled at me.

"No…. I'm good" I said. Food didn't sound that great right now.

"Ok. If you get hungry just come on down!" She yelled back.

"Yupp!" I said back.

I laid down on my bed, I hadn't realized how tired I was. I was asleep within the minute.


I looked around, the sun was shining down on the sand. I was at a beach. Was that right? I was pretty sure I had fallen asleep in my bed. And why was the sun shining? I shouldn't be. Percy was dead. It just felt to…happy.

"Annabeth?" someone called. It was familiar.

"Annabeth!" It yelled. I was turning in circles trying to find out where the voice was coming from when the person ran into me. It was a boy, tall, brown hair, he smelt like the sea.

"Percy?!" I said surprised.

"Who else would it be?" He said holding me.

"But this is impossible!" I said looking at him.

"What are you talking about?" He said.

"Well, your dead." I said sadly.

"I'm not dead Annabeth. I'm right here!" He said laughing,

"I guess." I said contemplating this. "But I saw you die Percy!"

"Are you coming down with something?" he said putting his hand to my forehead.

"No.." I said.

"Well maybe this will help" He said leaning down, he touched his lips to mine.


With a start I jumped., landing on the floor.

I opened my eyes looking around. My cabin was quiet, gentle snoring was coming from the bunks. My eyes started to tear up as I realized it was all just a dream.

I got up off the floor and crawled back into my bed.

Sleep didn't come, I looked out the window to see the sun come up. I debated whether I should get up and take a shower or stay in bed.

I decided being sad with other people then with myself was a little less depressing so I got up and took a shower.

As I walked over to the dining pavilion everyone was talking about something. I just heard bits and pieces of their conversations. Like "cloak" and "black" and "Percy".

I finally reached the dining pavilion and sat at the Athena table. There were a lot of "Annabeth I'm so sorry!"s from everyone. I tried to block it out, I didn't really want to think about it.

"Everyone! We have some wonderful news after yesterdays…. Well rather tragic events." Chiron said as he stepped into the middle of the dining pavilion.

"We have caught the man who killed our dear friend Percy, he is now in the hands of the gods." He said. Cheering erupted immediately. I guess this made me feel a little better, but it still didn't bring Percy back. I clapped my hands together till the rest of the campers stopped.


The rest of the day went pretty normally Ancient Greek, Picking Strawberries, Archery, Greek Mythology, Lunch, Tracking Skills, Cabin Clean-up, Free time (where I just moped around while Thalia tried to make me feel better.) Dinner, Volleyball, then the campfire sing along. I ditched that and went back to my cabin. I wanted another dream about Percy. It was probably really unhealthy, but it kept me up.

I laid down on my bed and fell asleep.


I was at the beach again.

"Percy?!" I yelled looking for him.

"There you are!" He said walking over to me.

I was happy here. But all good things end eventually.
