Hey Guys! FINAAAAALLLLLY! Chapter 3 is here! Believe me; even I was waiting for this to be finished already too.

Thank you so much to those who reviewed. You light up my day! I mean seriously, I'm having a really bad week.

Anyway, I'm really sorry for the wait. I was just busy and stuff and when I tried writing this last week, ideas swirled in my mind. I mean, there are just so many possibilities on how the book will go. And just like you, I seriously cannot wait!(Thanks for the cliffhanger Rick! Really, Thanks a lot. .)

Oh I need to stop ranting. So without further ado, Chapter 3…

ANNABETH

Annabeth knew she had to go down soon enough. She missed Percy the most but she was also the one most afraid.

Whatifhedoesn'trememberme?Orworse,whatifhedoesbuthadfoundanothergirlfriend?Several depressing possibilities swirled in her mind. Being a daughter of Athena, thinking was some kind of a hobby. But this time, Annabeth didn't want to think Every time she does, she just ends up missing Percy more. There are so many possibilities how their reunion would be like, it could be sappy, simple or maybe even bloody.

Annabeth shook her head. Percy could never do that to her. And if he did, Percy was definitely going to get serious beating, Athena style.

Annabeth moaned. She had heard cheering from outside moments ago. She shifted. Hewas there. She could feel his presence up to her bones. That sounded crazy but Annabeth knew he was definitely outside. Now, she regretted insisting she stays inside.

Thalia and Piper kept trying to convince her earlier that she should be the first one outside with Jason but Annabeth didn't have the courage to go outside. And that's saying something for a child of Athena.

See? See what you did to me Seaweed Brain? I'm acting like a lovesick child of Aphrodite and it's all because of YOU!

Annabeth replayed the last 8 months in her mind. She had been a train wreck. She looked worse than when she ran away from home when she was 7. She had bags as large as Tyson under her eyes. Not to mention she had been a pain in the butt for the other campers. She had been very bossy, making everyone help in the building of the ship. She even made the Aphrodite and Hypnos campers do work. She woke everyone as early as 6 am and letting them sleep as late as 12 midnight. Clovis was seriously irritated at her.

Annabeth sighed. She even forgot to say thanks to the campers.

Annabeth remembered the disasters that happened the last 8 months, the time she and Leo had a fight regarding the building of the ship because again, she had been very bossy and the day when Lord Poseidon came to visit her in a dream after Annabeth had seriously lost it and started shouting at the ocean (A/N:itwasinsecretsinceyouknow,Zeusmightgetallangryandstuff).

Even the first week when Annabeth didn't even blink or sleep when she found out the only thing standing in her way and Percy is a ship that needs to get built as soon as possible. She also remembered shouting at Grover, seriously pestering him to make the empathy link with Percy work.

"It's not that easy Annabeth! I believe Hera had suppressed it." Grover had said.

"Do something!" Annabeth shouted "You don't understand! I'm seriously worried and you're just sitting here doing NOTHING!" She shouted, louder.

"JEEZ ANNABETH! You're not the only one who misses him. You maybe his girlfriend but we're his friends too." Grover got offended. "We want to save him as badly as you do. Us, Thalia, Rachel, Even Clarisse!"

Annabeth felt bad about that fight. It was a good thing Grover forgave her when she said sorry.

Annabeth was bolted back to the present when Mrs. O'Leary sat beside her; apparently she came from outside the ship and went inside without Annabeth noticing. It was weird but in the 8 months Percy was gone, Annabeth found comfort in the huge creature. She felt like the hellhound understood her. She knew both of them really missed Percy.

Annabeth focused. She has worked so hard in building that ship and looking for Percy and there is NO way she is going to let anything stand in her way from seeing that Seaweed Brain, even the possibility of him forgetting her.

She gathered all her strength and stood up. She started walking towards the door, her heart beating as fast as Grover running when he hears "Enchiladas for dinner!"

As she steps outside, her eyes bore into a pair of sea-green eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat. Annabeth let out a sigh of relief, pure absolute relief. Annabeth felt like the sky was once again lifted from her shoulders but it was 10 times better. She felt much better than when Sally Jackson had contacted Chiron to tell him Percy had called. Even so much better than when Grover was finally able to 'link' with Percy. His mesmerizing sea-green eyes, His idiotic grin, His jet black hair. It was definitely him! He was here, body and soul, unlike in the dream she had 5 days ago.

"Your girlfriend was worried sick. I swear if I had to endure one more day of her na-"

"Percy?" Annabeth called out. Then the sea-green eyes bore into hers.

The crowd parted and everyone fell silent, leaving her face to face with the guy she was most annoyed with and the guy she missed like crazy.

So I know it's not that much. Like I said, ideas kept popping in my mind when I was writing this. I actually had second thoughts in continuing this because I had a whole new story imagined in my head but I decided to continue.

AND just because it's Annabeth's POV doesn't mean she's the 7th in my opinion. I was thinking of another person's POV but I still can't decide which of which the 7th is so I decided to give them both POVs. I know people are saying it's Annabeth but I have my doubts. :D
