Hello I reread that chapter and found way too many typos sorry. And then I had writers block. If you haven't noticed Im not very good at this fanfic thing yet. ;) So hope this chapters better! I'm really sorry for the wait I live in NYC where the high school process is DUMB.

Gone. Annabeth hated that word.

She hated it when she described Thalia, Luke, but now Percy. This time it was real. Luke is still Luke, somewhere inside him, and now Thalia's no longer a tree. But Percy? He's dead. And Annabeth hated that.

She remembered kissing him, then denying him a kiss, then the explosion.

"Kiss for good luck?" he asked.

Part of her wanted to. The thought that Percy like her back made her giddy. She mentally slapped herself.

"Come back alive first."

Annbeth meant it playfully of course. He's the child of the prophecy, he can handle a couple of telkhines.

Annabeth should've been wiser. You can't bet on a life.

At the same time she wanted to believe he wasn't dead.

The two weeks he was gone said otherwise.

So did the explosion.

The water, the lava, the screams.

The screams of the telkines may haunt her.

But do did Percy's. Pure anguish and pain. Yet power.

Annbeth remembered desperately running.

Annabeth grumbled to herself bitterly. She tugged at the gray strand and felt her eyes water.

He was her friend.

He trusted her.

He loved her.

He was dead.

Annabeth lay in her cabin staring at the ceiling. Chiron said they would burn his stroud this afternoon.

Suddenly Annabeth was mad. That shouldn't have happened.

The prophecy said she would die. Not Percy.

Annabeth felt bitterness, she didn't even complete the quest.

Grover and Tyson were who knows where in the labyrinth, Percy"s dead, Milos is still roaming, they haven't found Daedalus.

Annabeth was a failure.

She waited so long for her own quest. To prove herself for her own.

Annabeth cursed at herself. Stupid fatal flaw.

What do I even have to be proud of?

Annabeth smacked herself against her pillow and let out an animal like groan.

She glanced outside and dragged herself out of bed.

She did her best to stop the tears, but pursed her lips just in case.

She dragged herself outside and flinched as the sunlight hit her eyes. Causing them to water even more.

She walked over to where they were lighting the fire.

Around the pit the vibrant green grass turned yellow as it met the stone.

Annabeth watched as the campers lit the fire, Chiron supervising.

Chiron gave a small speech then lifted the stroud.

Annabeth tried to concentrate on the fire but her eyes always found its way back to the stroud.

It was a vibrant sea green like Percy's eyes, and had a trident embedded in it. Much nicer than the one Ares cabin made for him when they went on their first quest.

Annabeth sighed. She could complete the quest when she was 12 and 13. Heck she held up the sky. So why was she failing now?

With that on her mind, she said a few things about Percy. Her vision was clouded with tears, until she saw a familiar figure headed towards them.

Once again Im really sorry people. Thankfully not many people read this story XD. This is my first story so sorry its short and kinda sucks but my writing will get better. Please review and leave a suggestion for a 5 times! I was thinking 5 times Sally had Percy's back and one time he had hers. 3 times Piper comforted Annabeth and one time Annabeth comforted her. But its up to you! Thanks!
