This one is kind of a short chapter, sorry about that but I am trying to think of the best way to take this story. It might be a bit of a disappointing read too, if that is the case let me know and I will try my best to rewrite whatever sucks.

Piper sat at the table in the dinning room on the Argo II. She couldn't sleep and all she wanted to do was eat a sandwich that was barley even put together. It had been a week now sense they had left Rome, and a week Percy had fallen into Tartarus. She didn't know how Annabeth could do it, even though she broke down the first day, not that anyone blamed her. Now that they were nearly there she seemed more determined then anything else.

Yesterday, when they were attacked by some monsters, Annabeth was the one who came up with the plan to destroy them all. She seemed like everything was back to normal, it was hard to believe that her boyfriend was in the hell of all hells.

Annabeth wasn't the only one taking it bad though, Jason had barley said a word to Piper sense they left Rome. At first she thought it was because she did something wrong, but after about a day of ignoring her, Nico told her it was probably a guilt thing. Sense Percy sacrificed himself to save Annabeth, Jason didn't feel right being able to talk to his anytime he wanted. It hurt Piper a little, that was for sure, but she understood. She had no idea what it was like to go without Jason, even when he didn't remember her, he still was with her.

She tried not to think about the situation at all, but how could she not. Everywhere she looked everyone was upset, even though she didn't know Percy for very long she felt horrible. Sure he was a bit of a rebel and it seemed like the only person to be able to calm him down was Annabeth, but just from knowing him for a short time Piper knew he would give his life for anyone on the Argo II.

No, all Piper could do was sit there and stare at her half eaten sandwich, waiting for the ship to land so they could go, save Percy close the doors, and kill a few giants. Thinking like this definitely wasn't helping.

"Can't sleep either?" A voice said, that made Piper look up. She was Hazel the girl looked like she had bags underneath her eyes too. Percy must mean a lot more to her then Piper would have guessed.

"No, I am just trying to get my head around everything that has happened so far." She said, honestly she didn't even know how they had lived from everything, and if Percy was really in a more dangerous place then them she couldn't imagine that he was still in the same way when he fell.

" I know what you mean, but at we will find a way though it." Hazel said, almost like she was trying to convince herself. Piper had always liked Hazel, she didn't really seem to care much about the other dumb things girls care about, and she wasn't nearly as creepy as her brother.

"I never really saw Percy in action, I wonder if what Nico said is true if he really can make it."

"I haven't known him for that long, but from what I saw on our quest to Alaska, I know Percy will make it back. Coming from someone who has spent a longtime in the underworld I will say that Percy is the one most capable to handle anything it throws at him." Judging form how she described him it almost made Piper think he was a god himself.

"She is right." Frank said as he walked through the door, sitting next to Hazel. "Percy will make it back, there is now way he wont."

"Even if we have to drag him out ourselves." Jason said, leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed.

It amazed Piper, just how much faith they all had in Percy, she herself had faith in him too, but she never really talked to him that much to find out how strong he really was. "You guys act like he is a god himself." Piper said, amazed that how they could barley know him, and they would already lay everything down for him.

"Well, he might not be a god, but he sure has the power of one." Jason said, out of anybody in the room, he would be the one to know, he is the only one to have actually fight him. Even though it really wasn't the two of them fighting they were possessed.

"That is a mere understatement." They all heard a voice in the corner of the room. Looking back they saw Nico, coming out of the shadows how long he had been there was a mystery. "After all, Percy was offered to be a god." That made everyone wide eyed, well all accept Jason who just nodded like it wasn't a surprise to him.

"Wait, so Percy is a god?" Frank asked, almost scared that he never bowed to his friend that is in the pits of Tartarus right now.

Nico chuckled a little bit, almost like he got that reaction a lot. "No, he turned it down, instead he made sure that gods would take better care of their children and never leave them wondering who their parents are. He will never admit to it, but I'm pretty sure that he didn't want to leave Annabeth behind either."

That almost made Piper tear up, she had never been much of a daughter of Aphrodite. But, hearing that Percy gave up immortality, just so he didn't have to live without Annabeth, and suffering what could only be tremendous torture so she wouldn't have too. He had to be one of the greatest boyfriends in the world.

"Why, didn't he tell any of us that?" Piper said, wondering why that was a secret not shared.

"I'm pretty sure you could ask any child of the big three, why they don't tell people who their parents are." Nico said, "Its so that way people don't look at you differently. Plus Percy has never really been one to gloat he always preferred that others got he attention just as long as he got respect." He finished off, just as the loud speaker broke through the room with Leo's voice.

"Guys, we are about ready to land, and I think we got a little bit of a problem here."

Jason and Nico disappeared running towards the deck of the ship and sure enough the others would be there soon. Now Piper was more the confident that she would see Annabeth and Percy together again, knowing that he would never let something stand in the way of her.
