Chapter two
Percy's P.O.V
Percy held tight to Annabeth's hand as a thousand memories came flooding back to him. Their first kiss. All those times Annabeth had kissed him when he did something stupid. Her first words when he had arrived at camp: You drool when you sleep. A laugh escaped his lips as that thought surfaced. Laughter. A weird thing, considering he'd basically committed suicide when he chose to fall into Tartarus with his girlfriend. But hey, he was not losing his wise girl again. Never again. Those thoughts were rudely jolted out of him when he hit the floor. No, this was not your average wood tile or carpet. In fact, it was stone. Percy groaned. Apparently slamming into a stone floor after falling kind of fast wasn't a good thing. Percy felt as if someone was using his lungs as a punching bag. Whenever he could get some air, it would be knocked right out of him again. Panting, he sat up. In a whisper that was barley audible, he said, " Annabeth." Fortunately, she had good hearing.
" Seaweed Brain." Annabeth too, had a voice that was very faint, and far away. Percy didn't know where he found the strength, but he lifted up Riptide. The glowing sword provided a faint light, and he could see his girlfriends face about two feet away from him. Not that far, but he sure felt like it was. Annabeth was not in good shape. She had a long scrape on the side of her face, and a black eye. Not to mention her face was as pale as a ghost's. But she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. " Percy, your so stupid. you didn't have to come here with me."
" And leave you to die? Um, no."
" I think I can survive without your help, thank you very much." Then Annabeth kissed him. A good, long kiss. Once they were done, Percy teased,
" Have you looked at yourself lately? I think you could use some help."
" And what about you Seaweed brain?" They kissed again. And for that moment, Percy thought everything was going to turn out fine. Of course right then a voice boomed down on them, so loud it shook the cavern:
" Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase. I have been waiting for your arrival."
