NEXT UPDATE IS ON TEUSDAY

VIII

Percy

As Percy stabbed and disintegrated another of those stupid, annoying dracaena, he wondered where monsters killed in Tartarus went. Did they simply reform after Percy and Annabeth left? Did they scatter and slowly reform somewhere else? Or did they get destroyed for all eternity?

"Stupid monsters," Annabeth mumbled, kicking the dust remains of the dracaena. "What is Gaea thinking?"

Percy sighed and walked on. That weird wind pushed them ahead, like someone wanted them to get to the Doors quicker. Gaea? Most likely. The Gods? Those stupid cowards didn't even dare come here.

Time passed, as Percy's mind idly thought about random things like family, camp, school and such. Soon, the red sky became a deep shade of black, signaling night in Tartarus. Percy sat down, leaning on a rock, and kissed Annabeth quickly, who pushed him away playfully.

Percy still didn't understand Tartarus, even though they'd been in here for almost a week. Neither he or Annabeth got thirsty or hungry, although he was often tired.

They sat in silence for a while, until Annabeth asked the question that Percy had on his mind ever since this Giant War started. "Percy," she whispered, "Do you ever feel that…. That you get tired of being the leader? That you just want to step down and retire into a more quiet life? That you're just a pawn of the gods?"

Percy answered truthfully. "Yeah, I do, Annabeth. The world is just so screwed up! Why, out of all the people on this planet, does it have to be ME? Why can't someone else step up and be the leader? Sometimes, I just want the gods to forget us. Pretend that we never existed. Let us live our own lives, not as the toys of the gods." He balled his fists,

Normally, if they were in civilization, Percy would already be a pile of dust. But the gods had no way of knowing what happened here, or the Titan War would never have started.

Annabeth opened her mouth to speak, but before she could talk, a raspy voice spoke, "Is that what you think?" The voice sounded as if it hadn't spoken in millennia.

Annabeth's knife and Riptide were already halfway out of their sheaths when a wave of pure energy blasted Percy backwards 10 feet. He landed on his back and scraped his elbow. His vision was blurred.

A dark figure was standing over him, but it didn't seem to be armed. As Percy's vision cleared, he could make out more features. The humanoid shape had the features of a stereo-typical Wall Street stock trader. He had golden eyes. They looked familiar. TOO familiar. He knew who this person was, yet didn't have any clue.

The person was black. Not like African black, but completely covered in the darkest version of the color available. It looked as if this person had been dipped in dark ash. His hair was the same color as his skin, but it was pretty difficult to separate it from the face. "Who…." Percy asked.

The figure smiled warmly at him. He squatted down, his features now clearly visible to Percy. "You don't recognize me? I was your worst enemy for years," the guy said. Still, no memories stirred.

To his right, Annabeth inhaled sharply and scrambled away from them. Her eyes were wide in realization. "No way…" she muttered. "What do you want?"

Percy was really tired of not knowing this guy now. "Hold it. Could someone tell me WHO this is?!" he demanded.

He stood up, and the black thing rose. He was about Percy's mother's height. Suddenly, his memory snapped. It was HIM. "No way. This is not you. There is no way." Percy stumbled away from him.

"Yes. It IS me. How nice to see you again, Percy."

Percy raised Riptide. "Kronos. What. Do. You. Want."

PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME FOR THE INSANELY SHORT CHAPTER! It was only 2 pages on Microsoft Word 12 font *gags*, which is like EXTREMELY little. But I wanted a cliffhanger chapter, so I hope it was good enough. I was never good at Rickhangers. In fact, I never actually properly learned how to write stories, because LA classes never covered it. So I basically self-taught myself how to organize paragraphs, use vocab, write dialogue, ect. Leave in Reviews how well you think I taught myself. Next chapter will be Percy again (No Annabeth until next Tartarus scene). I can tell this Chapter kinda sucked, but whatev

Now, next topic of interest. "OMG OMG IT'S THE TITAN OF TIME PERCYS GOING TO DIE!" No, I will not kill them this early in this book, if I decide to murder either of them at all. They prob won't die in this book, but you never know. Hehe. Tell me guys, do you even read the author notes? If you do, be sure to include it in the reviews.

Ok so I was actually thinking of writing a one-shot spinoff, if Kronos actually froze Percy and Annabeth in time for a year and a half. Do you think I should? It will put this story on hold for a week or two, but I'll make sure it's worth the wait. Vote on a poll I will put up in my profile. The voting will end after chapter 10 is released, so a week from today. PLEASE VOTE, I really want to know your opinion on this. If you seriously dislike this idea, be sure to vote no. I want plz at least 20 votes. After all, I have 60+ followers, so if a 3rd of you could vote, I would be extremely happy. It won't be to much action, just what would happen they were assumed KIA

Peace out and see you in the next chapter

Song of the Chapter- Untitled (How could this happen to me) by Simple Plan

Entertainment of the Chapter- Team Fortress 2

Quote of the Chapter- A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.

Replies to reviews

Amiee Davidson- You see, that's the problem. There is no good book series without SOME sort of a tragedy. So yes, someone (2 people actually, according to the prophecy) will get killed permanently. No coming back to life or anything. Sorry, but I feel its necessary. Idk why that would be a "let down," though.

Charlotte Cross- Thanks, I will try to make the humor a little more diverse in the future.

Annabeth 777- Next chapter is Percy too. Also, all the mushy camp moments are over. Lots of action and some romance to come :D

Reviewer- I am already married to the story. NO STEALING D:

Dillion Adcock- The laptop didn't fall to Tartarus, Annabeth just couldn't find it. Maybe it was hidden by the silk or the statue or something.

Brightpath2- The death is still a long time away. No need to worry yet
