Oh and guess who's back? That's right! xD So here is Chapter 4 from Annabeth's POV as promised. Thanks to everyone who followed and reviewed. You are all awesome. I forgot to mention last chapter that I hadn't forgotten about Nico. He'll be here soon :) Please follow, review, etc. Let me know how this chapter was, it was a continuation of Chapter 2 and I kind of wanted to do something a little bit different. Enjoy!

Annabeth I

What was this place? Annabeth unfortunately, had no idea, which seemed to disturb her. A child of the wisdom goddess who didn't know something was kind of embarrassing. But all her thoughts got muffled as she actually took a look of the place.

How could she describe what she was seeing? It was like a child's imagination of hell. And what exactly would a child's imagination include? Right in front of her was a path twisting and turning, however Annabeth could only see some of it. The majority of the path was surrounded by trees. But not just any trees. These trees where red. Literally red, as if lava had fallen down on them but they had not melted. She thought she could make out a red mountain off to her left.

Oh this is fun, thought Annabeth. But at least she was with Percy, however ever since he had that encounter with Gaea, he seemed a little different. She thought that maybe he wasn't telling her the full story. Because I know him, she thought.

As if in a trance, Percy stepped forward as if to take a look but she quickly put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back.

"Annabeth, this place, it's nothing I could have imagined" gasped Percy.

"I know seaweed brain, but we have to be careful, it looks like we lost Typhon for now, but who knows what other monsters are here" said Annabeth. She grinned because she thought things were back to normal (normal for a demigod). When Percy was asking the questions, not answering them. The place reminded her a few years back when they had been stuck in the Labyrinth. She hadn't mentioned it but she had lost hope then. It was because of Percy she pushed herself to lead the quest.

She quickly recalled about what monsters she knew had been banished to Tartarus. There was good old Typhon, the Country destroying monster, Tantalus would also be here, but unless they were a cheese burger, they would be fine. Then there was Arachne, the goddess that had caused all this. She had also heard stories of a giant named Tityos, but she couldn't recall what he was here for… And of course, there would be the Cyclops's. She had always had bad experiences with the race of the Cyclops but she dare not think of it again.

"Well what are we waiting for?" grinned Percy, "Let's go get ourselves killed"

Oh great, she thought, wouldn't I just love to get killed? But she began to walk along the path with Percy. Holding hands like old times. However, her movement was slow due to her broken ankle which had remarkably begun to heal. Her ankle would have taken at least 2 days to heal, she wondered if time could be different in Tartarus…

"This place" said Percy, "I know this place, I-I think in a dream I had"

See, nightmares where bad, but when you're a demigod, ANY dream you have can't be good news. It was as if you were watching your death. Like a new TV show. MTV, watch yourself die. That would be an awesome show, Annabeth concluded.

They could hear crows croaking somewhere far away, but other than that, they were alone. It was almost as if they were in an old west movie. She had a strange feeling she was being watched. Closely, very closely.

Percy pulled out his sword, Riptide, just in case there was anything out there. It was almost as if even the monsters were afraid to venture in these paths. If 50 foot tall Cyclops's feared this place, Annabeth wondered if they should too. Yeah, they probably should have.

Unfortunately, Annabeth was in no condition to fight, much less run. She had lost her dagger, and her Laptop. I guess that means I won't have an emergencies credit card, she thought.

As if right on cue, she saw what made no sense. At least not yet. On one of the red-as lava trees she saw her laptop tied to a branch, as well as her dagger. The laptop and dagger being tied to a tree should have set off her warning signals. You're walking right into a trap, her brain seemed to tell her, oh yeah sure, ignore me; you don't even use me often nowadays. It was almost as if the tree was calling out to her, as if the presence of the tree wanted to make her go near it.

Percy probably had the same feelings to because then next thing she knew, he had already climbed halfway up the tree and had almost reached the laptop.

Just then, the tree began to shake. Literally! It was like the tree wanted to come out and walk along with them. Two demigods and a walking tree save the world and close the doors of death, Annabeth could imagine as a headline. Gods that would have been great.

"Oh gods, Annabeth, we're in the Wizard of Oz movie! A walking tree!" said Percy. He remained calm though. After facing giants as tall as your apartment, fighting with dozens of monsters at once, and handling people almost as annoying as Mr. D, she guessed Percy found it hard to be afraid of a tree.

But no, the tree wasn't moving by itself. Behind it was a large Cyclops shaking and yelling "That's mine!"

The Cyclops looked like your typical caveman. He had set his club near the ground and was wearing only a loincloth. He looked like a bear with thumbs.

"Um, Yeah sure, take the tree, I'll just take this useless, unimportant, Laptop away!" yelled Percy. He untied the bonds, and quickly jumped off the tree. "Let's get going" said Percy to Annabeth.

"Not that!" the Cyclops, "That!" which wasn't very descriptive but Annabeth knew what he wanted. "If you no give me, my pet will take from you!" the beast said in broken English.

Annabeth didn't want to find out what his "pet" was so she took her dagger and began to limp away with Percy.

Too Late. She realized as the heard a deafening roar behind them. Standing about 10 feet higher than the Cyclops was a Hydra. But they Hydra had 12 heads instead. It looked like their Cyclops friend had had trouble "taming" the hydra.

The monster charged and in a heroic/annoying way, Percy waited in the monsters direction as if to battle it. "Don't worry" he reassured, "I can handle this"

When the monster had neared Percy, he side stepped away and jabbed the monster in the back, but he needed a better plan than that if he wanted to kill the monster. See, the Hydra can be one of the most infuriating monsters a demigod has to deal with. When you slice of one head, two more grow back.

The monster spewed acid as it tried to hit Percy. He seemed to be running in circles around the Hydra. Annabeth seemed to grasp his plan. If the floor was weak, how it was when battling Arachne, Percy could make the Hydra cut its own hole!

The floor seemed to be a little stronger and supportive than Arachne's "lair" but it soon gave way. The monster seemed to have traded fearsome look for brains because it had no idea what was going on until the last second. The floor crumbled and down went the Hydra to who knows where? Annabeth did not want to find out. And so didn't Percy but he was just a little too slow. He tried to jump to safety as the floor went down but he was just a little to slow so he wouldn't have made it. Unless, that is, Annabeth caught his hand and pulled him up with her good arm.

"Uh, thanks for saving my life again" muttered Percy.

She smiled, "So what else is new?" She hugged him and he hugged her back. She recalled during the Titan war when she had taken a knife for Percy. If she hadn't intercepted the blade, Percy would have probably gotten killed due to his Achilles spot, but Percy had told her that he no longer had the curse. It seemed to relieve her and disappoint her a little too.

An angry loud roar interrupted her thoughts. It sounded like, well who else could it be? It was Typhon.

"Wow, already?" grumbled Percy, "How did he get here so fast? Oh yeah, his father being the Spirit of Tartarus and all"

She kissed him. "Well then let's get out of here" she said.

She wasn't sure why but she had a feeling that things were about to get a lot worse. Never could she bear to be trapped here forever or worse, alone.

Don't worry! They are not going to be separated but it seems like our friends have found a new world and are going to have, maybe a journey to find a key maybe? =) Anyway, I tried to look up if anything like this actually existed but the only thing I could find on how Tartarus looked like was that it had a lot of lava. Great, so now we have lava. I wanted to make Tartarus something other than just a Pit, like a new torture world of the underworld maybe? As for the monsters, they are all real. I'm still deciding on whom the next chapter should be on, but I have some ideas. Please let me know who you want to see next chapter or any preferences. I kind of noticed how there aren't many POV's on Jason in the series so maybe he'll be next. But for now, GOOOOODBYE :P
