ANNABETH: ASSASIN OF ARACHNE.

Thanks all the reviewers.

CHAPTER 4 : BREAKING THE NEWS AND LOST SOULS.

PERCYS POV.

Thalia and Luke slam their fists on the desk. "Your lying". They yell.

I sigh. "Guys I wish I was lying but Annabeths really e...".

"don't Finnish that sentence". Luke growls. "Our little girl is not evil".

"She is...". I say exasperatedly.

Thalia grabs me by the scruff of the neck. "Don't you dare call Annabeth that you little worm". She growled as a electric shock flowed though my body and I'm thrown off my chair, Thalia looks like she is going to shock me again but Luke holds her back.

"Thalia, Luke enough what Percy is saying is true I heard it from Lady Athena he self". Chiron puts in, he too looks like he really hates the words coming from his mouth, he did raise Annabeth like a daughter all these years.

I look round at all the other councillors.

Chrisse looks shocked and keeps muttering. "Princess evil? No way!".

Katie looks like the world has just been pulled from under her feet.

Will is denying it.

Thalia and Luke both refuse to believe that their little girl could even be evil.

The Strolls look sad muttering. "Annie? No way she is too good a person to be evil".

Grover like Thalia and Luke just won't believe it.

Only Alicia seems happy she is playing with he nails and looks down right joyous that Annabeth is evil.

Me I feel like my whole world has been turned upside-down. Annabeths …... Annabeth she isn't evil,she's the coolest most good person I know, how could she do this to , Camp ,her friends , how could she do this to me!.

"As much as this news is grave to all of us we have to stay strong, remember how much Annabeth was an Asset in the Titan war well now we are fighting against her tactics and plans". Chiron said gravely.

"Against Annabeths plans !... WERE DOOMED". Yelled the Strolls. Everyone else agreed even me, it was Annabeths plans and tactics that won the war, they where full prof and impossible to beat.

ANNABETHS POV.

I knelt at Arachnes throne. "He Refused the offer". I say gravely.

"Hmm mm …... well we have no other option... dear you have to go bathe in The Styx and then the next part will be done soon after.". Arachne tells me bracingly.

I swallow hard. "Isn't there another way mother".

She smiled when I called her mother before her expression becomes hard. "NO we must do this , you must do this we have a deal do you want revenge or not". She asked coldly.

Truthfully remembering Percy's hurt , betrayed eyes , I'm not sure if I want this any more. But I see the look in Arachnes eyes and I can't back down, no I won't chicken out now Athena will suffer for what she did. "Yes mother I want revenge".

"Good now go to The Styx emediatly".

"... Yes mother".

Standing next to the gross swirling,filthy waters of The Styx I feel like I'm going to hurl.

But I don't I be strong like Thalia and Luke taught me too. God I miss those two now I hear that Luke's back and Thalia quit the hunt , if I was there instead of here it would be like old times.

No. I can't think about the past now I have to think about a place where my soul will be anchored too, my navel? No . Bellybutton? No. heel ? OK that would just be stupid.

Nowhere is perfect. Everywhere is vulnerable to a freak accident attack.

I think about my stomach if I had a breast plate on its heavily guarded and I will be fighting in battle so I guess this place is alright.

I brace my self to go in all heroic but I end up face first in the current when my legs turn to jelly at the touch of the water.

I have never been able to breath underwater like Percy and I have almost drowned a couple times when Posiedon though it would be funny if he tried to drown me. But now I am terrified, I cant save my self like I did before , my arms and legs don't work.

I feel like I'm swimming in acid not Water , the pain is unbearable. I'm slowly dissolving anything and everything that makes me Annabeth Chase is slowly being eaten up by the Styx. Even my own name dissolves.

I think of a rope ,a rope attached to my abdomen. It keeps me anchored to the world like a bungee cord.

"Hey kiddo you OK".

I look up and I see something like a vision. Thalia and Luke stand at the top of a hill ,I tripped up over my shoe lace and fell down the hill.

"I think she's ok". Luke trys to stifle his laughs but nether can, the laugh and I laugh with them.

The vision changes. I see Percy stood over me in the woods , wait I remember I fell out of my tree hiding spot in Capture the Flag.

"WOW Wise Girl for a smart person you can really be a idiot at times". He says with a grin obviously bursting to laugh. "Here take my hand". He offered his hand.

My memories came flooding back to me , I was Annabeth Chase andi wasn't going to die, I reach up and take Percy's hand.

I collapes at the bank of the Styx. My skin bight red and my head banging like crazy as I gasp for air.

NOBODYS POV.

Arachne smiles as she watched the image of Annabeth gasping at the bank of The Styx. All her plans where coming into place , even better when the next part works she gets around the oath she made and gets to hurt Annabeths bratty friends , because she may have promised that she won't hurt them. But Annabeth never promised.

Even better that the grey eyed brat won't even know she will be hurting her friends.

So what do you think? Shall I continue?.

Who can guess what Arachnes planning?
