Hi guys! I'm so sorry this took so long! I forgot that soccer was starting again, so I couldn't update! I'm so sorry! I have a horrible plot twist that I'm gonna bestow on you right now. It involves my new OC, Maddie Walker! You know how in my last chapter there was a warning about Drew. I take that back, it's about Maddie. So, yeah. There's also another plot twist that I just thought of and it's gonna emotionally scar you. I literally cried when I thought about what I was gonna do to Annabeth. Not to mention Percy. Kid can't catch a break.

Anyway, dedicated to Doubled-Helix, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Thanks for the great laugh!

Ultra Happy Peep: Don't worry, sweetie, if I stop writing, then it will be because I'm grounded, in a coma, or dead. Here are your epic blue cookies that I stole from Percy! (::) (::) (::) And I know, I cried when Belle broke the cup. AND OMG CORA'S GONNA KILL EMMA! IF RUMPLE DOESN'T DO IT FIRST! To answer a question you gave me a long time ago: No. Bae is not Henry's dad. First off, Bae came to the real world when he was 14. Emma came over as a baby and that was who knows how many years later. So no, I don't think Bae is Henry's dad. But I do think that Henry's dad is coming, and that Emma's gonna beat him up until he's dead. He totally deserves that. I wonder what was in the box… MYSTERIES! Now I know why you all hate me for leaving a cliffhanger!

Awesomepants2000: Glad to make you laugh!

Annabeth Chase The Wise Girl: Come at me bro!

Architect-Of-Olympus-101: I'm writing a prologue now!

Sam99: You know I'm epic.

Question of the chapter: Are my soccer buddy Jess and me the only people who memorize the prophecies? Are we nerds?

Song of the chapter: Healing Begins by Tenth Avenue North

On with the chappie!

Annabeth's POV

"I remember."

My heart stopped. "R-remember what?" I ask, refusing to get my hopes up.

"Everything. You…us…the war"

My breath caught in my throat. I didn't care that Percy and I were hundreds of feet above the ground. I half-tackled my boyfriend, and he threw his arms around me. We kissed and for the first time since the Battle of Manhattan I felt safe and loved and… his lips tasted like salt. His hair was tangled and we had tears of relief streaming down our faces but it was perfect. He ran his hand down my hair and Blackjack struggled to keep us from toppling into the open night sky. It was pure relief.

When we broke apart, his arms were still wrapped around me, but he was crying into my shoulder.

"I missed you so much. I thought I'd be stuck there forever, I couldn't remember what color Thalia's eyes were, or the look you gave me when you got annoyed, or how Nico got that look in his eyes whenever we talked about the stupid myth-o-magic game he used to play. Those little things that I would always remember when I was bored in class, or when I-I needed something to fight for-" I cut him off.

"Percy. Percy you're fine. You're here with me, and Luke'll never get you again. I promise. I swear, Percy you'll be fine. You'll be fine. I'll protect you." His head was on my lap now, and his eyes were closing.

"D-don't leave m-me." He said, voice breaking, and sounding pitifully small.

"Never."

EPIC LINE BREAK THAT'S HALF ASLEEP/WATCHING ONCE UPON A TIME TO THE COUNSLER'S MEETING THAT'S HELD THE NEXT MORNING.

Annabeth's POV

When I woke up the next morning, I was in my bunk at the Athena cabin, for the first time in weeks. I got dressed, untangled the mess I call my hair, and brushed my teeth. I had Malcolm go to the council meeting in my place. I wanted to help Percy recover, and Chiron agreed to let me hang out with him.

I went to Percy's cabin. He was sleeping peacefully, but his cheeks were flushed like he was having a fever.

"Perce? Wake up!" I told him, shaking his shoulders gently. His bloodshot eyes snapped open, and they locked on me.

"Hey."He said hoarsely. Suddenly he doubled into a fit of coughing.

"You alright, Perce?" I asked him, holding him as his weak body convulsed with coughing.

He nodded weakly, allowing me to guide him into the shower. I blast the water and lightly push him into it. He doesn't even notice that he still has his clothes on. When he gets out, he looks a little better, but still pale, tired, and fevered.

"You wanna stay in bed?" I ask. He shakes his head quickly; putting up a façade so that I can't see how much pain he's in. He starts toward the door. I wrap my arms around him, restraining him.

"Percy, what's wrong? Come on, you can tell me!" I said.

"M' fine." He whispered hoarsely. "Let's go to the lake, Kay?"

I released him, keeping one arm around his waist, and he wrapped one around my shoulders.

"Perce, you sure you're okay?" I ask, and he looks at me, eyes full of love and trust, masking hurt.

"I'm fine." He says in a scratchy voice, firmly.

With my help, he stumbles out of his cabin, and is immediately surrounded by girls.

I bite back a growl, and Percy, seeing my expression, gives me an 'I got this' look. His face takes on that troublemaker grin that I fell in love with, and I let go of his waist.

I take some popcorn from Connor, who appears behind me. "Pay you later." I mutter. This should be good.

Percy POV

"Hi, Percy!" squeals Drew Tanaka, daughter of Aphrodite.

"Hey, Perce." Says Maddie Walker, daughter of Apollo.

I gulp; I can't believe I'm going to do this.

"Hi ladies. I don't suppose you would mind showing me around?" I ask, knowing that they'd love too. I can see Annabeth's eyebrows shoot up, but I give her a reassuring smile. The girls giggle and grin, and grab my arms.

"Is there a place with water around here, girls?" They squeal, and pull me along to where I know the lake is.

They're talking aimlessly about perfume or, whatever, and when we get to the lake, I give them my signature smile, and they both squeal in delight.

But, I pull my arms from their grasp, and then will the water to obey me. It rises into a wave, soaking the two girls.

"I have a girlfriend." I say, and then drag an open-mouthed Annabeth away from the two spluttering girls. I'm almost able to ignore the poison coursing through my veins. Almost.

-FLASHBACK-

I'm trying to fall asleep, knowing that if I do, the nightmares will come. But I need sleep, and Annabeth will be mad if I don't. Despite what she thinks, I can handle it. I'll heal, and I remember. I turn over, ignoring the cracking of my ribs, and the sudden snap that leaves me gasping. Yeah, screw that, I'm doomed. When I turn onto my back, my right arm touches the mattress; leaving a burning sensation that's so bad I have to bite back a scream.

I sit up, wincing, and decide to take a walk. The lake always makes me feel better.

When I get there I sit down, exhausted by the movement. Suddenly there's a stabbing pain in the small of my back. I can't move, and then a voice, a familiar voice hisses in my ear.

"I'm back." Luke's voice snarls.

-End Flashback-

Then I had woken up to Annabeth shaking me. I knew it was poison, because demigods don't get sick that fast. No one gets sick that fast. It doesn't happen. Anyway, I was determined to keep this from her. I knew that the poison would kill me, and I didn't want her to blame herself. I coughed again, this time tasting blood.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Annabeth asks again, and I'm so tempted to tell her the truth.

"No." A voice says from behind me. "He's not."

Those are the last words I hear before my eyes close and unconsciousness claims me.

Annabeth's POV

Percy dropped to the ground upon hearing Luke's voice.

"He's not okay. And he's not going to be unless you come with me."

I looked around, we were alone, and I knew no one was going to help us. I looked back at Luke to find him holding Percy, who was hanging hands above his head from Luke's arms. His eyes were closed and his skin was deathly pale. Blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"What did you do to him?" I ask, glaring.

Luke flinches slightly, but grins when he remembers my question.

"Poison. Gods poison." My eyes widen. God's poison is fatal unless you have the cure.

"What do you want?" I ask. He must want something, because he doesn't want Percy dead…Does he?

"You. If you come with me, I'll cure him. And I won't kill him. Just come with me, take him. We can heal him."

I nod. I have to. For Percy. I follow Luke, who is dragging Percy's limp body.

I have to do this. For Percy.

And done! TOLD YOU I WAS EVIL!
