Hola Amegos y amegas! I have a serious topic to discuss today... HannahKay is frustrated. I will admit it, I am spoiled. My last PJO story had 33 chapters and collectively received 523 reviews. I had this amazing strange moment about midway through the story when I went to check my email the day after I published a chapter and had 16 PLUS emails in my inbox, all from . I was so happy. Beyond happy. I have fallen in love with reviews... in quantity. Now, as I see it this story has 47 favorites and 49 story alerts. Now I understand that sometimes people favorite things and then decide they don't want to read it and just start ignoring the story, but really! I've only had about 4 readers who have reviewed for each (or even ALMOST) each chapter... and BTW i love you with all my heart whoever you are... a few names I just noticed: AnnabethIsTheBest, Demigod kid, xx Annabella Princess xx. Anyway, we've got to do better than this people.. .your writer is feeling neglected. You guys realize that I could easily kill off all these characters...*cue evil laughter* NOT KIDDING AT ALL. I AM VERY EVIL... :P

PS: Was last chapter really a cliffhanger? Would she really say no? :)

I sat there unable to move for a moment. I was frozen on the spot. His hands left me and he reached into his pocket. Seconds later he took a little white box from his pocket and I whimpered as he opened it. It was a white gold bank with a pink pearl fixed in the band. The band seemingly sparkled and shimmered in the low light. Simple...but beautiful.

"My mom gave this to me at the beginning of the summer..dad gave it to her right before Zeus made him leave. She told me she wanted you to have it." He took my hand in his and a shiver ran down my spine. "Marry me, Annabeth."

I nodded silently, my voice still missing. He slipped the ring on my finger and I bit my lip, staring at it. "I...ah, Percy." I mumbled, pulling him closer to me.

"Last time you were working on Olympus... I came with you.. I told you I wanted to talk to my dad." He told me, a smile tugging at his lips. "I talked to your mom, too."

I snickered. "You liar!"

"I couldn't let you know the truth..it would've ruined the surprise."

"You say surprise like you planned this."

"Not really planned, but I knew I wanted it to be sudden.. I've had the ring in my pocket since we got to camp."

"I love you."

"Thanks." He muttered, standing up and holding his hand out to me.

"So soon?" I asked, frowning.

"Yes.. We need to go back and check on the babies." He joked. I took his hand and he helped me up. "You're beautiful, Annabeth." He whispered in my ear.

"Thanks, Seaweed Brain." I muttered as we hurried down the hallway.

"Look! It's Annabeth and Percy! Annie Beth, come here!" Little Lilly Jones called to me. She is only 8. She's a daughter of Dementer. She was sitting on a couch in a room right off the living room, a book in her lap. I walked over to her and she smiled at me. "Hey!"

"Hey, Lilly." I said, sitting down beside her on the couch.

She smiled weakly. "What's wrong with everyone, Annabeth? Why is everyone so scarred?" Her sweet little frown broke my heart. I looked up at Percy, standing a few feet away. He frowned back at me.

"Lilly..some things are happening. Things you wouldn't understand." I told her, taking her hand in mine. I chuckled darkly. "I don't even really understand."

"Annabeth..that's a pretty ring." She told me, fingering the ring Percy had just given me. "Where'd you get it?" My eyes cut to Percy and I smiled.

"Yes, Annabeth. Where did you get that ring?" Conner Stroll asked, appearing around a corner.

I stood up, standing beside Percy. "Percy asked me to marry him.."

"Yay!" Lilly said, smiling happily. She stood up and clapped her hands. I hugged her.

"Yes. Yay." I told her, smiling. "See you later, Lilly." I took Percy's hand and we walked into the living room. Katie, Jake, and Malcolm were sitting at the table, pouring over a bunch of papers. With a start I noticed that Katie and Jake were holding hands under the table. I sat down beside Katie and glanced at the papers. "What's this?"

"We found some records of when it happened before." She told me, frowning.

I frowned, deeply. "What did you find?"

"It was the vampires. It started with one slipping through the shield then it turned campers.. soon enough there were few mortal demigods. With their godly powers enhanced they were nearly impossible to defeat. There creators thought they could control these demigod vamps to do their bidding, but the demigods were smart. They understood what had happened..in the end they killed themselves." She sighed. "It's starting, Annabeth." I cringed, reaching for the papers. "Oh my gods!" Katie cried, seeing the ring. Her eyes went wide and I could see the Aphrodite part of her coming out. "Percy and Annabeth are getting married!"

"Yes." Percy said, smiling despite the tense atmosphere.

ah it was short, but as I said I am iritated with you guys so make me happy and maybe I'll make a long chapter... MAKE ME HAPPY! (or there will be saddness and pain and suffering and death...lots of death! and fire...mucho fire!)

PS: HannahKay is reading the Lost Hero.. Soon I will be writing for the Lost Hero.. (and if you haven't read it yet you need to because it's really a really really really good book.)
