AHHHHHH! Oh my Gods! I just watched the trailer for the sea of monsters! AHHHHHHH!

Okay, I love you guys. Thanks so much for everything that you said to encourage me, and thanks to all of you who are currently hating on my hater :D

To my ducklings,

Ultra Happy Peep: Can I just say that I love you to the ends of the earth? You've stuck by me since the beginning of this story, at least half of my chapters are dedicated to you, and now, you've stood up for me like no one else ever has. Thank you, so so much for supporting me, and for being a great friend. And now to address every aspect of your long review:

- The world is full of evil, evil people who enjoy the embarrassment of others. I hope that I am not, will not, and will never become one of those people.
Here are your cookies, that I'm giving to you for being a great friend: (::)(::)(::)(::)

I am supporting you, because not only do I think you have great ideas, I know that anyone who can be so nice, is going to be a great author someday. I can't wait to read your fanfics, and then someday, your real works as a published author.

I repeat: YOU ARE SOOOOO NICE! 8D
I completely agree with you on the entire sex note. Because I am at a young age, sex is a foreign country that I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GOING ANYWHERE NEAR. Thank goodness there are some people who can think.

I'm a Christian too, and a lot of my writings are inspired by the songs I listen to about god.

My advice for you: you don't need it. Take your own, keep writing and stay strong. But, you should listen to: Who you are-by Unspoken, it's my favorite Christian song ever, and I think you'd like it.

Your review made me cry, and I just want to say thank you. This chapter is for you.

Secret00: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! But I updated mega fast like a ninja! Does that make up for the cliffy?

Silva: Yeah, my Percabeth feels are exploding. So much, I feel like I'm going to die if I don't read the HOH RIGHT NOW.

Goddess of the Dark Flame: Thanks, I'll try. BTW your profile pic is super pretty.

7fanatic: Let us sob together! BTW, I like your profile pic!

Kooky656: Thanks, I hate the Haters too! Let's be buddies!

Turkkedi: Thank you!

Punker81(Chloe): I'll always be a daughter of Athena!

My current convo with my dad:

Me: OMG I CAN PREORDER THE HOH ON AMAZON NOW! Can I wake up at midnight to read it?

Dad: It comes out on a Tuesday, right? Will it be during fall break?

Me: I don't know! But, if it's not during fall break I'm gonna bring my kindle to school and-

Dad: No you're not. You have to buy it AFTER school is over.

Me: WHAT? You think I'll be able to concentrate on SCHOOL?

Dad: Well what's more important, School, or The book?

ENTIRE PJO FANDOM: THE BOOK!

I own nothing of PJO!

192 DAYS TILL HOH, FOLKS! And 62 DAYS TIL THE COVER!

Song of the Chapter: Bang Bang Bang- Christina Perri.

I'm listening to Fifth Harmony right now… So epic.

Percy POV

It was dark. And it was cold. And I was scared. Then I saw the moon… Wait, wrong book, movie whatevs.

But I could see the moon. But somehow that wasn't reassuring. Annabeth was holding me, right, and I was inside. So why do I see the moon?

Suddenly, a burning sensation pulled me away from Annabeth, and I flew into the nearest wall. I saw Kronos enter, and Annabeth's shaking form shrunk back. I slid down the wall, and frantically crawled to Annabeth's side. I scrambled to my feet, and got into a defensive position.

Annabeth came up behind me, fists ready.

Kronos laughed and flicked his wrist.

I was promptly slammed into the wall AGAIN.

Annabeth stayed where she was but her arms were pinned to her sides.

Kronos laughed, and walked to me. I glared at him, pure fury in my eyes.

"Stay away from her or I swear to all the gods, I'll-"

He cut me off by putting his scythe to my throat. It blocked my windpipe, and what little air I managed to get into my body was cut off. My eyes briefly widened, but I continued glaring at him.

"You'll what, little hero?" He whispered, and I could feel his hot breath on my neck.

My mouth opened, and a strangled noise that was half human and half terrified Smeagol came out. "Don't hurt her. Please." It was my last rush of air.

Black spots danced in the corners of my eyes.

"You're killing him!" I heard Annabeth scream. Anna, Anna, Anna, I'm sorry I wasn't good enough to protect you. The thought gives me one last burst of strength, I need to be able to protect her and with a flash, one so fast, and so impossible, Kronos and me are both on the floor, and my ribs are doing this weird thing and I still can't breathe, and gods make it stop! But Annabeth, I need to get to her. I can worry about breathing later.

I attempt to push myself to my feet, but I'm falling and Gods why can't I breathe? And then Annabeth's holding me, helping me up.

I fall back into her arms, trying to get to my feet but failing miserably. I'm still on my feet, I can still move. I can still save her.

I clutch her arm, trying to breathe. I can't hear her, I can't see, can't feel. My eye close and my head thumps to the ground, my knees giving out under the weight of the world.

Why can't I save her? I think as my eyes close.

Annabeth POV

Oh my gods, he's coming. He heard, he's going to kill Percy. He's going to kill us. We're all going to die.

I looked up, seeing the moon, and prayed quickly for Artemis to help me. Help us. Please.

And suddenly the doors are open and please oh please let it be Artemis.

But it's not and Percy is thrown away from me, and I'm frozen on the floor and Oh my gods he heard. And please don't hurt Percy and Gods I'm scared.

And it's only a combination of terror and godly power that keeps me rooted to the spot.

But Percy's stubborn. He stumbles to his feet, choking and gasping, and stumbling, and gods he's not breathing, but he doesn't care, he's coming back, he's coming back to me.

And then he's falling and he doesn't care and he's crawling and then he's with me again, and I can tell that he's hurting, but he's fighting anyways.

And then we're both ready to take him on, even though he's pale, so pale, and then Kronos just laughs and he flies back again, and Gods how is he still awake?

And then he's defending me, and he doesn't care that he's dying, he's just trying to reach me.

And then there's a knife at his throat, and terror floods my mind, and I can't breathe and Percy.

And I love him so much and "Stop! You're killing him!" And I'm screaming, and he looks at me and there is a burning passion in his eyes, and it's so strong that the light grows, and suddenly Kronos is knocked to the floor, and I'm on my knees, and then Percy is crawling toward me, and I can move again, and I'm just reaching for him when I see Kronos, and he's angry, and I pull Percy to his feet, and he's swaying, trying to stay up, but failing.

And he can't move and Kronos is coming, and I want to scream but I can't and Gods he's still coming for us.

And I feel so helpless, and I just collapse into a ball, crying with Percy in my lap. I'm so tired, and he is, and we all just deserve a break, and Gods, why does this always happen to us?

Percy, Percy, Percy. Why does this always happen to me?

Kronos is surprised, because I'm breaking down like this, and I can't take it anymore, and I can't lose Percy. Can't. Can't. Can't.

So this is what it feels like to lose hope.

Sorry bout' the shortness! It's around midnight here, and I have to wake up earlier than 11 in the morning. I hate mornings.

Anyway, goodnight, and always believe in Jack Frost!
