NOT THE LONGEST BUT NOT THE SHORTEST CHAPTER. PLEASE REVIEW. I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE STORY

Annabeth

Annabeth was extremely relieved when he saw Percy's eyes open. She thought she had lost him forever.

"Annabeth" Percy mumbled. Annabeth began to kiss him everywhere. Annabeth figured that Percy was surprised with all the kisses.

"I thought you were dead. Thank the Gods that you're alive" Annabeth said as she hugged Percy tightly.

"Annabeth you're smothering me" Percy cried out. "Oh I'm sorry" Annabeth apoligized as she broke apart from him.

"How long have I been in the infirmary" Percy asked. "About two days" Annabeth answered. "Two days. It was really that long Percy" said.

"So what happened after I passed out" Percy asked. "Piper managed to tell the dragon to leave and no one else was injured after you" Annabeth replied.

"What happened to Octavion" Percy asked. Annabeth hated that she was the one to break the news to him.

"He got away. We were all so busy fighting we forgot about him. He must have jumped off the ship" Annabeth tried to explain.

She knew that Percy was really upset. "I'm really sorry Percy. We couldn't do anything about it" Annabeth explained.

"Don't apologize. I'm sure you tried your best to stop him" Percy said. Annabeth felt better by Percy trying to cheer her up.

"Do you really think he was the traitor" Annabeth whispered to him.

"I don't know but prophecies can have double meaning and you might not understand them until the end of the quest. He's probably not the traitor" Percy reminded her.

"I hope you're right" Annabeth replied.

Annabeth leaned into kiss him but the knock on the door interrupted her. She nearly fell of her chair and she could see Percy smiling at her.

Annabeth opened the door to Jason, Piper, Hazel and Frank. "Sorry to disturb you guys. We just wanted to know how Percy was" Jason apologized.

"It's fine but how did you know Percy was awake" Annabeth questioned them. "We heard Percy's voice" Jason answered. Jason approached Percy's bed and sat on the chair Annabeth was sitting on earlier.

"I wanted to thank you for saving my life" Jason thanked Percy. "That's what friends do for each other" Percy offered his hand as a sign of friendship. Jason shook his hand and smiled at Percy.

Frank gave Percy a hug and Frank gave him a handshake. Even Piper who didn't know Percy very well hugged him awkwardly.

Percy looked exhausted so Annabeth tried to leave him alone for a while "We should let Percy get some rest now." They all headed to the door but Percy stopped them. "If I wanted to rest I would have stayed at camp. I need to get up. I can't just be sitting here during a quest."

Percy said as he attempted to stand up. He stumbled while he got up but he managed to stand. "Percy this is not healthy. You need rest" Annabeth warned him.

"I can't just be sitting here" Percy said. "Fine but at least let me help you walk" Annabeth negotiated with him. Percy had trouble walking so he agreed.

Percy wrapped his arm around Annabeth as she held him to make sure he wouldn't fall.

"Oh Annabeth what would I do without you" Percy said. Annabeth smiled at him and he smiled back. "So where's Leo" Percy changed the topic.

"He's fixing the ship still. He says he's almost done though. He'll probably finish tonight" Jason guessed.

Annabeth helped Percy to the top of the ship where Leo was working. Sweat beads were forming around his forehead as he pulled on a wrench to relocate materials onto the steering wheel. Leo turned to Percy and the others.

"It's great that you're alive. Annabeth has been meaner than usual lately" Leo joked. "It's great to see you too" Percy replied.

"I thought you were just fixing wires. What's up with the wrench" Percy asked.

"I've already fixed the wires. I'm modifying the wheel. I also secured all our technical support. It is practically impossible for something to break or rip again" Leo explained.

Percy's stomach growled a few seconds later. That is when Annabeth remembered that he hadn't been fed in 2 days. "You should eat something" Annabeth said.

She helped Percy sit down in a chair and she made him breakfast. Percy finished his breakfast. Annabeth was going to help him up but she was startled by Leo "Yes, I got it. I finished it."

Everyone looked happy to have the ship fixed. Annabeth knew that she was happy. They were sitting around doing nothing for the last two days.

They were finally going to continue their travel to Rome. Leo turned on the engine and the ship began to fly in the air. Annabeth was astonished by Leo's work. The ship worked perfectly and it flew faster than before.

She turned to Percy who looked scared. Annabeth knew that Percy felt uncomfortable due to his hate towards flying. "I really hope that Zeus doesn't strike me down from the sky" Percy said.

Annabeth knew that it was impossible because the gods locked Olympus and because Jason was on board. As harsh as Zeus could be at times he would never hurt his own son. "Don't worry about him. He won't hurt you" Annabeth assured him.

Percy hugged Annabeth as a thank you. Leo approached them and gave Percy his sword. "I found it after you fell" Leo handed Riptide to Percy.

"Thanks" Percy said. Leo returned to his spot and grabbed his speaker. "Rome here we come" Leo said.

"I'd like to make another stop before we go to Rome" Jason announced. Annabeth thought it was weird but Leo agreed.

"So where are we going?"
