XX Annabeth

Was about to have a well earned sleep.

She was certain she could have a bit of peace since she isn't worrying about Seaweed Brain as much.

The Argo II has taken off a short while before and everyone settled for sleep, Except for Leo.

Percy insisted he could run the ship while the son of Hephaestus rests. Leo willingly agreed.

Everyone who knew of Percy's Abilities weren't surprise when the Argo II glided gracefully in the water.

Percy didn't even touch anything.

He simply told Leo to land the Argo II in the Sea and when the Latino elf asked when he was gonna do anything Percy simply answered 'We're already moving.'

Leo had his moment before Piper charmspoke him to get some shut eye.

Percy then went to get some shut eye himself.

Annabeth followed their example.

She had just shut her eyes as her head hit her pillow.

It didn't seem like anything was out of the ordinary when Annabeth felt someone watching her.

She opened one eye looking around.

Nothing.

She sat up, both eyes open.

It was just darkness and the faint dim of moonlight from her port hole.

Suddenly as she was to close her eyes she felt as though a million tiny little creatures where crawling up and down her body.

She sat up bolt right.

There was nothing on her.

Daughter of Athena.

Annabeth glanced at her left.

"Ahhhh! Sp-Sp-Spider!" She shrieked.

It was a huge hairy creature. And by huge she meant the average size of a 15 year old teenager.

Oh. You're Terrified of me.

"G-Go Away!"

But where's the fun in that? Do I look like that imbecile Arachne? Oh I would have thought A daughter of that that Wise Goddess would be even a bit wise.

The creature said with despise in her voice.

"You-you're Theia?" Annabeth asked.

Oh well I don't look like Aphrodite now, do I?

Annabeth was silent.

Hmm. You Know why I'm here. Well I always was. I hid in the shadows awaiting Athena to decree who would be honored enough to send her, her end. That wrenched Poseidon didn't help much. He warned your mother but she was bearing to much pride.

Theia in the Spider form stroked Annabeth's cheek.

Just like all her children. Unfortunately you are the one to pay for her pride.

If Spiders could smile then Theia would look like the happiest spider alive, though her voice sounded as though she had sympathy for Annabeth.

Theia opened her spider mouth and Annabeth was engulfed in Darkness.

Annabeth sat up in her bed as if she has just awoken from a dream. More like a nightmare.

Everything seemed normal but she knew something else was happening.

Of coarse Daughter of Athena, Something is happening.

Annabeth heard the same voice clear in her head as though Theia was standing right in front of her.

Her body went numb. She couldn't move.

"Get out of my body!" Annabeth said.

There is no use to fight Annabeth, It is Destiny. I am to settle in your puny body. And I will allow this very body of yours to destroy your mother.

"Erre Es Korakas!" Annabeth yelled.

Her hand twitched and raised above her hitting her on the face.

Tsk Tsk Tsk. You should watch your language. It isn't very wise to hurt yourself either. You can still feel pain can't you? Your body is merely my Armor. I can't get hurt unless I completely posses you.

I have been slumbering all to long and my strength at most can only control your movement. I could completely engulf your mind but then you wouldn't be aware of the problems you're about to cause.

Annabeth tried to push the force she felt out of her. It was an internal battle. Annabeth was flung on the other side of her room, hitting the wall badly. Annabeth groaned.

She was then thrown to the ground. Despite not being able to control her body she winced.

You see Daughter of Athena, I can simply toss you around like a little rag doll but I still will not feel the pain. There is no use in fighting. You should have distanced yourself when you had the chance. Now you shall witness yourself harm the very people you wish to protect.

Annabeth wanted to punch Theia so bad.

Oh now, You wouldn't want to punch yourself now do you?

"Annabeth?" Annabeth heard from the other side of her door.

"Annabeth, are you alright?" Percy asked worry thick in his voice.

Ah your first victim approaches. I won't control your eyesight either. You shall witness your Perseus die by your own hands.

Before Annabeth could say anything. She felt as though there was a gag in her mouth. She lost the ability to speak. But as clear as ever her own voice answered Percy.

"I'm fine seaweed Brain. I just fell off the bed."

After a few shuffling noises Percy entered the room.

The only thing Annabeth was able to control was the tears that she allowed to fall down her face.

It was hard to explain how she felt. She still felt like her but at the same time she didn't.

She felt her own hand being controlled. Her hand clasped the dagger she hid.

Percy came to hug Annabeth.

"Was it a bad dream?"

"No. It was a wonderful Dream where you disappear."

Annabeth felt everything. As her body lunged at Percy.

Percy was surprised but he was able to fight her, riptide at hand.

He was able to deflate some blows and dodge others.

More tears streamed down as Percy was brought down on the floor in surprise.

Theia had found the opportunity to tip Percy over.

The fighting Theia used was not Annabeth's usual routine so It was different for Percy.

Annabeth was now straddling Percy, Her own dagger digging through His throat.

When Percy looked up at her surprised, and sea green met grey something kicked in Annabeth.

She momentarily was able to fling herself off of Percy.

Percy was then given the chance to disarm the blonde, knocking the dagger out of her hand and pin her down her wrists at her sides.

Annabeth would have expected what Percy did but Theia wouldn't have.

Well Annabeth, You still have a little fighting left in you. This won't happen again for you only were able to restrain me because I am still weak from my many years of slumber. This is only a taste of what I will be capable of in my full strength. I will return and I will kill that son of Poseidon.

The titanide said using Annabeth's voice in her head.

When Annabeth felt Theia retreat deeper in her she felt exhausted and weak.

She was tired and she had no strength to even get up.

For now she knew Theia would leave her alone. The titanide would probably store up on energy before she strikes again.

Annabeth was not anticipating that any time soon.

How was it? The very first time the Titaness strikes.

Review review review because school starts in two days and I'll have to concentrate on my studies and I have no idea when I could update then. Encourage me and push me to my updating speed limit. Review and I'll put up the next chapter later today.

If you want me to update a week or two's worth of chapters please review and we'll see how it turns out.

I am so happy Theia didn't know Percy's fighting style.

Question: What would you do if you were in Annabeth's shoes?
