Heyloo guys! Time to update now. I ain't sure how this will go, my uncle is bugging me right now, so bear with me if this turns out kinda suckish.

Also an answer for Guest Lils:Well, the distance between my updates is a week at most, and at least 2-5 days. I have no definite update schedule, but like I said, I'm not sure. But I update at least once a week. :)

Answer for Swan Destiny: yep, the plot is quite off-course from the books. I'll be sure to add alot of plot twists, thanks for reading! :)

Let's get tit on! :)

Chapter 11

Resent. Hate. Worry. Loneliness.

These were all the things Annabeth felt as she sat in her room, tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. She sighed heavily and let herself fall into her bed, staring up at the canopy over it. First her mother, now Percy. But he would come back, at least that's what he said. The twelve year old princess layed on that bed for the rest of he day. Unmoving and alone. But she never slept. Somewhere during that time, the tears she'd been holding in had broken through, trailing down her cheeks and seeping into the silk sheets.

Why do people always leave? Why can't anything be permanent? Why can't anyone stay in her life permanently?

She hated it. The perfectness of everything, in all their glory and beauty, and in a few short moments, they fade away, disappear. Annabet had decided that one day, she would find a way to make something permanent. To build something permanent. She would build it from scratch, making it grow until it's strong enough, proving it's strength and invaulnerability, then she would know it would last forever. Then would her dream, her wish, come true.

But right now, she just needed Percy. But he was long gone.

"It'll be okay." Sally Jackson told her son after a few moments of silence. He was simply sitting there, staring at nothing, a far away look in his sea-green eyes. Nico, Sally and Percy were in a carriage with only a make shift canopy of cloth overhead to shield them from the sunlight. Their belongings and some food were scattered around the wooden carriage with the two. It was drawn by two horses, the only animals that were left from the old, burnt down farm of the Jackson Family. Not counting Loraine the chicken, of course. Percy had seen her running with her tail lit up during the fire. The sight was so halarious he had to laugh.

As if the chicken knew what he was thinking, it angrily pecked Percy's knee. "Ow!" He jumped. Sally and Nico laughed and gave the starving hen some grain.

"She's telling you stop being so glum." Poseidon laughed from his place in the front of the carriage.

"No." Percy muttered, rubbing his knee. "I just forgot to feed her this morning... and took her eggs the other day... and laughed at her when I saw her tail on fire at the farmhouse before..."

"Well you've made an enemy of a chicken, Percy." Sally chuckled lightly. Percy smiled, but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. Sally gave a frustrated sigh at her son.

"C'mon, Percy. Stop looking so glum! I know you'll miss the kingdom and all, but we shall come back! You'll get to see Grover, Thalia, Jason and Annabeth again. " She told him. "Just think about looking forward to our return, alright?"

Percy simply nodded. " Alright."

Nico was busy playing with Loraine the chicken, Sally was knitting a blanket from a ball of brown wool, Poseidon was steering the horses,while Percy just sat there an thought. Then he immediately thought of Annabeth's reaction.

"Ha. You, thinking? Yeah right, Seaweed Brain." She would've said. He sighed in frustration. Thinking sucks.

About six hours later, they pulled up for their third stop. But this time, it was in a small town. They parked their carriage by an inn as Poseidon reigned the horses and gave them water. He loved the horses and they loved him back. When Poseidon told Percy that when he was little, he thought his mother would get jealous.

"Percy! Percy!" Nico called to his older cousin, running forward with glee. "Uncle Posy told me we were just a day or two from New Orleans! We'll see Bianca again!"

"Percy raised his eyebrow. "Posy?"

Nico laughed. "Yeah, that's what I call him now! 'Poseidon" is a mouthful. "

Percy chuckled and shook his head. "Well then, you'd better get some rest. Bianca wouldn't want to see you looking like a ghost.''

"Nico... I'm-I'm sorry but..." Hades shook his head. His dark, scraggly beard and sunken eyes looking the same as always. "It's... It's an inevitable thing...sickness... I'm sorry but..."

"Nico," Percy cut in, wanting to be there for his little cousin. "Bianca's dead. I'm... I'm sorry..." They stood, outside of Bianca's room.

Nico shook his head, tears brimming in his eyes, staring at the two with horror. "No.. No! You're lying! Liars!" He screamed."

'Nico, a plague had settled upon this town. I wanted both of you to leave, but Bianca wouldn't go. She insisted she was old enough, so you had to go alone instead. " Hades explained. "She was fearless and brave, wanting to stand beside those in need in this town."

Nico didn't listen to his father's words and pushed passed them, running in the door and staring in horror at his sister's lifeless form on her bed.

- earlier-

"Percy, I need to show Nico something. Do you mind guarding Bianca for a while in her room?" Hades asked his nephew as his parents were at the market.

"Alright." Percy said courageously.

"Promise nothing bad would happen to her?" Nico asked. "I promise." Percy reassured him, going back into his cousin's room.

"YOU PROMISED!" Nico screamed. "You said nothing bad would happen to her! You said-"

" I know what I said. Nico, I'm sorry. I didn't-"

"NO! I hate you! Go away!"

"Nico..."

"Percy. " Hades cut in. "Maybe it's best if you leave him alone for now."

Percy felt horrible. He knew he couldn't stop death, but he still felt as if there was something he could've done. Nico had every right to be mad at him, he knew he promised. He should've found a way to save her. To stop her death.

"Nico, I'm sorry." He pleaded one last time. His cousin stood over the body of his deceased sister, his back to Percy. "Just leave." He muttered, his voice cracked and shakey, but also filled with anger and hatred.

Percy really wished they didn't have to leave.

Oh gods I almost regret what just popped into my mind. Okay, I really didn't intend for Percy to be blamed, but it sorta just... happened. Hehe. Sorry everyone. But Nico will forgive him... eventualy. hehe. From this point on, the entire plot will be according to plan and I swear, the plot is different from the books. It's was just necessary that Bianca died... for some reason...

So tell me, Reynico or Solangelo? It will be one of the minor ships in this story, so I'll let you decide. ;)
