I just wanted to say thanks for the many reviews, alerts, favourites, and basically anything else!


Percy

THe moment I saw Thalia disappear out of my view, I ran to the Big House. The doors were still closed, and I could hear angry yells and arguments coming from inside. Then, I heard light foot falls come from behind me and a sweet minty breath against my neck.

"Percy, have they made a disicion?" Annabeth asked nervously.

I shook my head, "No. And quite frankly I don't know if I want them to." I sighed.

She looked at me, her grey eyes meeting mine, the puzzled look in them swirled, "And why is that?"

"Because I don't want to die?" I told her in a sarcastic voice.

"Oh, that's a good point Percy." She agreed.

Wait, she's been calling me Percy, not Seaweed Brain. "Why are you calling me Percy all of a sudden?"

Her eyes narrowed, but I saw a blush creep across her cheeks, "That is your name isn't it?"

"Well, yeah but-" I started to say, but she cut me off.

She held her hand over my mouth, "Sh! I hear something."

I nodded and licked her hand, she took her hand off my mouth immediatly. We crouched down behind a pillar and waited. We both listened carefully, our half blood senses kicking in to over drive.

I then turned around to see something I didn't want to see. Ever. It was Nico. I hadn't seen him since after the Labyrinth, and he looked even worse then before. His face was marked with scars and bruises, blood covered his arms and hands. His hair was going in all different ways. I tapped Annabeth on the shoulder, and motioned for her to look. When she saw him, her mouth went agape with fear and angst.

She got up and ran to him, and Nico didn't know what hit him. He was suddenly engulfed into an Annabeth hug, and he didn't seem happy about it. His black eyes narrowed at her, and he went stiff as she hugged him.

"Annabeth!" I called, and he let go of him.

Nico looked around skiddishly, "Where is everyone?" He hissed.

I looked at him, "MOst of them are gone. The Hunters are here," I whispered.

His eyes went wide, his mind filling with Memories of Bianca. Suddenly, I noticed his eyes welling, "The Hunters?" He whimpered.

I nodded my head, and Annabeth shot me and evil glare. Then, Nico took off. He ran towards the Artemis cabin, not looking for even a moment behind him. He knew his sister wasn't going to be there, but they might know where she was. Even though she had visited him before as a spirit.

Annabeth marched up to me, "How could you do that to him?!" She yelled at me.

I looked down at my feet, "I forgot?" I said innocently.

She shook her hear, "Stupid Sea Weed Brain. And to think I almost lik-" But she stopped herself before she could finish the sentence. She looked down at her feet, trying to hide the deep crimson coming across her face.

Was she going to, wait what. "Annabeth, " I asked gently, not meeting her eyes, "What were you going to say?" I asked. The question haunting me, because I knew that the answer I really want was impossible.

"I-I-" She stuttered, her voice and arms shaking. My heart silently begged for her to say what I wanted her to say, but I knew that she didn't like me, she hated me.

"PLease," I begged. "You can trust me," I told her, making her grey eyes meet my green ones.

"I was going to say that, I-I-" She took a deep breath, the blush on her cheeks getting deeper, "I liked you. More then a friend." She finally said, defeated.

I held my breath, and burst out laughing. Why was I laughing?! She glared at me, and a tear rolled down her cheek. And then I felt a hand smack come across my face.
