Hey, people. Sorry I haven't updated in forever. Just lazy,
but I'm back! With a chapter for you guys.

Chapter 14

Percy's POV

"It's too powerful!" I shouted to Thalia as I watched the Minotaur
regenerate from the hole I stabbed in it's side. "There's no other way!
We have to get the key!" She shouted back. I remembered
Annabeth's lifeless form lying on the stone outside the door.

With a roar of anger, I slashed my sword and cut the Minotaur's head clean off.
It slumped over and crumbled to yellow dust, The
key from around it's neck falling to the floor. I grabbed the key
and ran through the hall, pausing only to scoop up Annabeth on
our way out. "Please, please..." I said and I could feel tears coming
to my eyes. "Please don't die." I set her body in the shallow water
and focused my energy around her. Closing my eyes to concentrate,
I pushed all of the energy from the se into Annabeth.

I heard Thalia gasp and I opened my eyes quickly to see Annabeth
cocooned in green light, the same color as my eyes. I checked to see
if she was breathing, and she was, but barely. I looked to Thalia, tears
still glistening in my eyes, and said "She's alive, for now. Lets get
back to camp and maybe Chiron can tell us something about whats going
on." Thalia looked at me and nodded with agreement, at a loss for words,
as she climbed into the boat.

Thalia's POV

I looked into Percy's eyes as we sailed along, him staring across
the sea at the helm. I could see so many emotions; Anger, sorrow,
confusion, hope, and most of all, I realized, love. Not just any love, because
humans say love is a magical special thing. And they are right. But true
love between demigods is even more magical (literally.)

All of a sudden Percy jumped, and said, "I see camp!" And sure enough,
Camp Half-blood was clearly visible in the distance. Percy used his water powers
to give us a speed boost and we landed on the island momentarily.

"Hey, Guys!" someone shouted, and I looked up to see Connor Stoll
walking down the beach to greet us. "Whoa, whats up with Annabeth?"
He asked once he got up to the boat. "Is she alright?"

"We dont know." Percy said and he carried Annabeth's limp body up to
the big house.

Hey, people! I'm back heres a (hopefully!) longish chapter with (hopefully!)enough
fluffiness to satisfy you. I took a longish break but don't worry! It
wasn't from FanFiction, just writing. But I hope to get back on track with updating.
Also check out my new story; Percabeth and the lightning thief! see you soon!
