So this is the chapter to replace the A/N. this is the original version That I had before I lost my flash drive. This includes the Author's note.
Wow, Guys! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful reviews! We have seventy-four! I never thought something I wrote would be that popular! I thought you were all going to hate me because I took Percy's memories. Dedicated to: the guest who gave me virtual cookies. Thank you, dear. I ate them while writing this. Also I'm really happy that my author's note is this long. So many people to thank for reviews!
To my Reviewers:
Fantasy girl loves fantasy: Thanks for your review! Yeah, my stomach hurt while I was writing some of that. But, that's over, or if there's any more, I'll warn you. K? Also, this chapter is where Percy gets back, finds out he can talk to horses, and attends the winter solstice council meeting.
Annabeth Chase the Wise Girl: Oh yeah, Luke is gonna come back, and he's not there for donuts. If he was, then I would poison them because he is a bad person. Yeah. Anyway, thanks for the comment, one of my favorite things to do when I'm writing is to change POVs all the time.
Cmedance: Don't worry, I'm not like Rick, I won't keep you waiting. Thanks for the review, and it means a lot to me that you think I write well.
kooky656: Thanks for your review, He'll be healed in this chapter, but he won't necessarily get better. Annabeth is gonna have a 10-minute-long rant when she sees Percy's scars. Yeah, he's back, but Percy won't be Percy for a really long time.
ULTRA HAPPY PEEP: hey, thx for your review. I usually hate OCs too (especially Percy sibling OCs) but yours sound cool. The new idea sounds epic, and I hate it when authors don't finish their stories too. Anyway, I found a Percy spy school fic that you might wanna read to give you ideas, it's called Grantville and Blackmount by KatieElizabethGrace. Good Luck with your stories, thank you for the cookies and compliments. BTW, I am nowhere near good enough to be a minor goddess of writing. Nowhere, near. The actual Greek god of writing is Momus, I looked it up. The cookies were epic, and blue!
HorseLover: I'm so sorry, kiddo. Hang in there, K. Percy's alive, and not with Luke.
ADayWithNoLaughterIsADayWast ed: Thanks. I've got a lot more planned out. This story will have some… interesting things. Here's your update!
Guest: Hey, Thanks for your review, I liked your idea, but Reyna rescuing Percy doesn't really fit. Maybe, I'll do an alternate ending where it's Reyna, but I am a huge Percabeth fan, so the very idea that another girl likes Percy makes me want to punch them with Annabeth's fist (that made no sense, just go with it.) Anyway, Maybe, I'll make a Perna story, but only if Annabeth comes and there's an epic battle for Percy's favor. Maybe I'll do a hunger games thing, like Reyna's Gale, and Annabeth's Peeta, yeah, I'll do that, it'll probably take a while; I got a lot o' stuff goin on. I loved your idea; it just won't happen in this story, K?
Guest: Ok, I know you guys want me to update faster, but I'm not gonna have the whole thing finished by tomorrow. There's gonna be, like, 100 chapters in this, and I can't have that done. I'm sorry, trust me, I wish I could sit down and write all day for you guys, but I can't. Please try to be patient with me.
ACPJfan101: Oh heck yeah, sweetheart. Ciffie! But, this one has a peaceful ending. Annabeth is gonna watch Percy sleep. Aww, I love Percabeth. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter, and thanks for your review.
TO EVERYONE (YEAH, THIS MEANS YOU GUYS WHO I ALREADY GAVE MESSAGES TOO): First, I want to thank all of you for your support in this story. I'm going through some hard stuff at school, I'm getting 15 new kids, and I'm freaked out about it. Your support means the world to me, and it helps me get through school, cuz when I get home, I have all these emails telling me I have reviews. So thank you for that. Second, I'm so sorry this took so long. I had acting, my mom made me write thank you notes, I had a friend over last night, and I need to watch the new Once Upon A Time episode. So sorry to keep you waiting. Also, I am now going to ask random questions. I will give you a virtual cookie if you answer them. And yes, they are blue, I stole them from Percy. But don't tell him.
#1- What song are you listening to right now, and by what artist?
(My answer: Sk8er Boi, My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne, Red, I Knew You Were Trouble, Begin Again by Taylor Swift)
#2- How many of you are fan girls, who have at one point, pretended you were

Percy's little sister
A demigod
(My answer: All three have I done. That's Yoda talk, kids)
Disclaimer:
Abby: Hey, guys!
Annabeth: What did you do to my Kelp-headed idiot? You made him into a creature that has nothing in his head! Where there should be seaweed, there is nothing!
Percy: Hey! My past self resents that!
Annabeth: Would your past self come back?
Percy: Nope. I think Abby is keeping him from you.

Random girl who has a crush on Percy: Do you Percy? You could be much happier with me…
Abby: Hey! Stop messing with my story, random girl! You're the only thing I own!
Random Girl: Yeah, guys, she owns nothing, so don't even bother with her!
Abby: Shut up Random Girl!
Percy: For once, I agree with the author.
Annabeth: That is the smartest decision you've ever made.
Random Girl: In my defense, he doesn't make a lot of smart decisions.
Abby and Annabeth: Well, that's true.
Percy: Hey!
The Boy's POV
The girl looked lost. Her eyes were downcast and defeated. They we drained of all hope, yet she refused to cry. I felt like I had seen this look before, like I hated this look. It was hard to remember. I couldn't remember anything. There was a mental roadblock, barring my memories from me.
"Are you alright?" i ask, before realizing that it was a stupid question. For some reason, those big grey eyes watered, and before I could stop myself, I pushed myself off the table, wrapping the girl in a tight embrace, latching onto her, soothing her. She buried her face into my shoulder, and started sobbing. It hurt more than it should have, and while I didn't want to cause myself unnecessary pain, she needed the comfort, so I held her tighter. It felt natural, and she obviously felt just as comfortable.
I would have been content to stay like that forever, until her hand brushed against my arm. My burned one. Pain flared in my arm and I bit back a sob, involuntarily flinching. Immediately she stepped out of my embrace, and I almost fell over.
Her clear, grey, eyes looked up at me, begging forgiveness. I frowned, as she babbled about being sorry. She didn't need to do that.
"It's fine, it wasn't your" I started, before pain flared in my head.
It was so intense, that I fell to the ground, curling into a ball at the girl's feet.
Annabeth kneeled over me, shouting at the others. Wait, Annabeth?
"Annabeth?" I whispered as my world went black.
Annabeth's POV
Percy was in a ball at my feet, clutching at his head.
"Percy!" I screamed, and he weakly opened his eyes. He stared straight into my eyes, and I saw a faint glimmer of recognition.
"Annabeth? He whispers, right before his eyes close, and his face loosens.
Jason picks him up, and Percy shivers slightly, mouth in a twisted grimace.
"Careful, Jay." Thalia tells him. He nods at her, but his eyes don't leave Percy.
We race through the hallways that are stained with Percy's blood. Once, I might have thought them beautiful, but now I look at Percy, then back at the walls, silently accusing them of not protecting him.
Great. Now I'm talking to walls in my mind. Hopefully that doesn't last. We finally burst out of the mountain. Blackjack snorts indignantly when he sees his master.
Once on the chariot, I break down. Thalia makes Jason and Nico go away; only Thalia and Percy are allowed to see me cry.
But Percy's not here anymore. So now it's just Thalia.
I woke to feel cold, sharp wind ripping through my long black hair. My hair was most defiantly black, I could see it dangling in front of my eyes. It was scary, I knew nothing about myself. I didn't know the colour of my eyes, heck! I didn't know how old I was! All I knew about myself was that my name is Percy and I apparently had long, messy black hair. I didn't know anything else about myself and it scared me. I mean, I know I'm Percy but beyond that I just don't know. I literally didn't know who I was. Was I funny? Was I sarcastic? Was I loyal? Was I kind? Was I good? Was I evil?
Was I in pain?
Well that was an obvious question. Yes.
Everything ached. I felt like I had rolled around in broken glass then fallen off a cliff and into a grove of cacti.
I was breathing shallowly and my chest ratted with each painful breath. My mouth was dry, my lips were cracked and I didn't think it possible for someone to be as dehydrated as me and still be alive. My stomach was completely empty and it sent shooting pains through my body. I had 0% energy left in my body.
I was propped up against the side of a Greek chariot. Somehow we were flying. The idea of being high in the air sent chills through my body but I had no idea why.
I let my head fall forward, I no longer had the energy to hold it up. It hurt to move.
My body ached, I was in unbearable pain. I was in complete and utter agony. I looked down at my body. Surely it was too thin to be my own. Painful words were burned into my arm. The words were written in a language I didn't recognise but for some reason I was able to read them. They read, 'Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, fallen hero'. Was that my second name? Jackson?
My arm was broken and burned, it was painful to look at.
I could feel deep cuts in the skin on my chest, the dark patches of red spread across the shirt proved they were there. I could see my ribs though my shirt.
My throat was too dry to speak. Every time I moved, even slightly I experience unimaginable pain.
I lifted my head slightly, ignoring my bodies protest, and looked at my surroundings. I was sitting on the bottom of a shiny metal Greek chariot. I could see the beautiful blond girl standing on the opposite side of the chariot to me. The girl with choppy black hair stood beside Annabeth with a comforting arm around her shoulders. They both stood looking out over the edge of the chariot. I felt a sudden pang of jealousy. It should have been me comforting her.
I felt the urge to get up and comfort her too. To wipe away her tears. To hug her and never let go.
'But I don't even know who she is!' I thought to myself.
'Yeah, but you don't know who you are either' I thought again.
Even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to get up.
I dismissed the idea and looked away from the sobbing blond and the black haired girl. I looked at the front of the chariot and saw the dark haired boy standing silently beside the blond boy. The blond guy was holding the reins of a beautiful black horse.
No.
It wasn't a horse. I had enormous ebony wings. A… a Pegasus.
'Wow' I thought to myself, 'It's beautiful'
"Of course I am" said an indignant voice in my head. "Though I prefer the term 'handsome'."
Oh great! I thought to myself. Now I'm going crazy too."You're not going crazy Boss! It's just me! Your humble horse!"
I focused my gaze on the black Pegasus. Surely it's not actually talking to me…
"Holy horse feed!" The voice in my head exclaimed, "you don't remember me!"
'Are you my conscience?' I asked the voice. I guess that would make sense… sort of.
"I swear boss, when I find who did this to you I am going to trample their faces into the dirt and then…"
'Are you really the Pegasus pulling the chariot' I asked the voice.
"Duh! What else do you think I am?! Tinker bell? When I'm done with those, 'people' they are going to be on their way to the glue factory!" The voice yelled in my head.
'Where are we going?' I asked the voice.
"Back to camp. We're almost there. Don't worry."
Camp.
Flashes of a big blue house and fields of strawberries flashed through my mind. I grasped at the memories but they faded before I could grab them. I writhed in pain, a hiss escaping my lips, as a searing pain ripped through my head.
Instantly Annabeth was by my side.
Annabeth's POV
Percy was awake. He was writhing on the bed.
"Camp... the faces... so close..." He cried. I held him down, trying to get him still, but then he struggled against me.
"Percy, listen to me. You have to fight it. Just... can you fall asleep for me? Please? Can you sleep. When you wake up, everything will be better. I promise." I cooed. He seemed to believe me, and his eyes closed.
We stayed like that for a while, me holding his hand in a tight grip, him, muttering words that will probably translate to: MSDNFIJHDBG.
(NINJA LINE BREAK TO THE INFIRMARY)
"Oh." Mike Yew started
"My." Will Solace
"Gods." Finished the Apollo cabin.
(Abby Is really sorry for not updating Line Break: to later that night when Annabeth sneaks in to see Percy)
Annabeth's POV
Percy was drooling. I gently turned him over, to find scars all over his chest. I could see his ribs. I could count all of them. The scars were bone deep, and whenever Percy shifted, the broken ribs cracked, and made other noises that would give me nightmares. His right arm, his sword arm was wrapped in bandages, and there was a cast covering his hand. His other arm was also wrapped in the plaster, obviously broken more severely.
He moaned in his sleep. I shoved some ambrosia into his mouth. I knew the Apollos had already tried that, but I couldn't stand seeing him in pain.
He sighed, contendedly, and I noticed the bandages on his arm was coming off. I peeled it off, and nearly screamed at the burn marks there.
Luke was going to pay for doing this to my Seaweed Brain, and then I was going to get him back.
Below me, Percy sighed in his sleep, seemingly peaceful, and I vowed not to let anything hurt him.
HEY PEEPS! LOOK WHO FINALLY UPDATED! DEDICATED TO ANNABETH CHASE THE WISE GIRL FOR HER HELP WITH THIS CHAPTER! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND REVIEWS!
