Hello! This chapter maybe a little less "packed", and a little shorter, but I'll post after only 3 reviews.

Without further ado, LET THE STORY BEGIN!

Percy held his head in his hand. A drop of cold sweat dripped solely onto the floor.

Things were running through Percy's mind. Intense things.

Percy knew he would go to the end of the earth and back to rescue Thalia, but annabeth, what would she say?

He knew he needed her, and Grover. The problem was Grover had gone out in search of pan, and hadn't sent a message back via empathy link, he thought about calling him using a golden drachma, but concluded that would be selfish.

So that was it. He would run away from camp, annabeth or not, at the middle of night, no plan and no idea what to do.

He started packing.

The next day, Percy confronted annabeth.

He told her about his plan and what -and when he was going to go.

She looked at him like he was crazy, gave a deep breath and said,

"Percy, I know two things n this life: one is that I love you, the other, is that Thalia is my friend.

So, here's my answer." she held her hand out to him, and when he tried to take it, she pulled it away and slapped him.

"But you..." Percy stammered.

Then she kissed him.

"WO-ah guah. Bu--"... was all that came out of Percy's mouth.

Okay she said broadly.

The next night Percy was awakened by an exited annabeth.

"Ready?" she asked

"Err... uh yeah", Percy stammered sleepily.

He slid out of bed, forgetting he was in his boxers, looked down and smiled weakly.

"Uh... sorry..." Percy said while sliding his covers quickly over his half-naked body.

"That's...okay..." annabeth said and went outside to wait,

When Percy was changed and ready, he slipped out side,

"ABOUT TIME seaweed brain!" annabeth muttered.

Sheesh sorry, can we go now? Percy said impatiently.

"Sure" annabeth replied, "Only one problem, what do we GO IN?"

"Ah, I was hoping you'd ask that. I had Tyson prepare a boat for us..."

Percy raised a steel boat out of the water, and asked smoothly, "what should we name it?

Annabeth returned "the en surface?

"Sure, why not?" Percy said

Percy and annabeth climbed aboard the en surface, and went below deck.

"It's incredible!" annabeth exclaimed

"Even for you this is incredible!"

They both noticed the two rooms separated by a thin wall, and a door.

Percy silently thanked Tyson for the close quarter rooms, he liked being close to annabeth,

Annabeth was thinking the same thing and she

Also silently thanked Tyson for the close quarter rooms, she liked being close to Percy.

The two teens went up deck and set off on their journey.

Remembering old scars, they knew they were coming close to the sirens.

Annabeth asked Percy if he would tie her up again, and de arm her. She thought of EVERYTHING she could use to escape and then she was tied down.

Percy plugged his ears from the siren's "sweet" melody, and went through.

Meanwhile annabeth was having the time of her life.

The sirens wove tales in songs of her and Percy together at last and Thalia gone.

She struggled harshly and tried and tried to get out all in vain.

When they finally left the area of the sirens, Percy sped up just to be sure and unplugged his ears.

But they weren't out yet.

He ran for the edge if the boat and leaped off.

He splashed in a tumble of arms and legs.

When he came up and found he was long away from the sirens, and saw annabeth leaning over him, waiting for him to arouse.

She explained, "when you came up I took you're ear plugs and jumped into the ocean. I brought you out; sirens music stuck in you're head. I pulled you out unconscious and brought you aboard the ship. That was twenty minutes ago.

Percy sat up and smiled.

He felt some liquid on his lips, but the rest was dry.

Annabeth was kissing him while he slept.

The shadow faded from the screen as Luke showed Thalia what had happened between Percy and annabeth

Tears streamed down her face as Thalia balled her fists.

She had believed annabeth to be her friend. She was now her worst enemy.

She shot her head up and swore to the gods. They didn't like that much.

Luke mentioned calmly, but fierce as a tiger "she, annabeth was you're friend. Just as you're father thunder roared defiantly she has turned her back on you. She is stealing the one you love most. Will you let that happen?"

Thalia's stream of tears stopped abruptly as she clenched her fists tightly.

"Annabeth, will die." she yelled ice cold, and walked away.
