Hi guys!

I'm happy I got to update today, even though I should have been doing my Math homework…

Also, I finished Chapter 7 in Science: I ended up getting a detention for missing the questions – I hope you're happy!

I have got my thank yous at the bottom because you're probably getting bored of me nattering on. So enjoy…

Red Alert

Red.

Black.

Red.

Fire.

I'd never experienced anger like this before.

It burned through me, ripping every calm thought from my body. I was no longer able to reason.

Thalia had made me leave Annabeth's side. She said I was too distraught. Something about me losing control and revealing my godly form. Also, I was scaring Lyra.

"She'll be alright."

I looked round to see Grover standing behind me. He placed a hand comfortingly my shoulder.

"What if she's not?" I demanded, waves of anger rippling through my body.

The hand of comfort turned to one of restraint.

"Dude, you need to calm down. Any angrier and we're both going to burst into flames."

I stared at him in confusion.

"Empathy link."

Oh.

Duh.

"But what if she stays like this?" I yelled, kicking a stone pillar with such force, some of the stone crumbled away.

I cursed. I wasn't yet used to my godly strength.

Grover snickered.

"When she wakes up, she will kill you."

We cracked up, despite the situation. It felt good to laugh, it had been so long since I'd last had the time to laugh, what with the war and then this.

But then the anger shot back to me, pricking my hear like a thousand needles.

Annabeth might be dead. And it was probably my fault.

"Hey. She's going to be fine." Grover said with such determination, I almost believed it was true. "This is Annabeth we're talking about. She wouldn't give up, so neither should you."

I appreciated his tries, but they didn't make me feel much better.

We sat in silence for a moment, looking out over Olympus. A cool breeze blew against my skin, settling my frayed nerves.

I watched as children ran in between alleyways, their flustered mothers chasing after them. Somewhere on the edge of town, a group of demigods were overseeing a building project. It was probably one of Annabeth's.

Every window box was full of colourful flowers that changed day to day, depending on the owner of the house's mood. I knew exactly what colour mine would be.

It was almost peaceful. Somewhere between happiness and depression, where the lost came to think. And I was most definitely lost.

Of course, I should have known it wouldn't last long. The Fates never seemed to want to take pity on me.

Suddenly, strange sirens echoed in the distance.

I turned to see where the strange noise was coming from, and instantly spotted it.

Oh no.

Oh, hell no.

Suddenly I felt warning alarms erupt in my mind.

Annabeth. Oh crap.

Grabbing Grover's arm, I twisted in mid air, appearing in Annabeth's private room.

Sure enough, the machines were whirring like crazy. Red lights flashed as one of the nurses tried to settle the system.

In front of me, Thalia was gripping my little sister Lyra by the shoulders, a menacing growl escaping her lips.

"What was the last thing you said?" She growled, threateningly.

Lyra was shaking. Fear filled her eyes.

"I-I told her about Percy. I said he wanted to kill himself."

"You what?" I demanded.

No one was meant to know about that! How did she know?

Lyra whipped around, her eyes widening in horror.

"Percy!" She squeaked.

"You what!"

I was shaking uncontrollably. Anger tore through me, ripping my heart to shreds.

Everything else was gone. All I could see was the infuriating little girl in front of me. So fragile, a wave of my hand and she would be out cold.

But somewhere deep down I was scared. This wasn't like me. I didn't yell at people. I was never this angry.

It felt like someone had cut away my safety net, and now I was tumbling into the unknown.

Someone had cut away Annabeth,

And I'd been falling ever since.

Okay, I know it's not very long and it's kind of a repeat of the last chapter in Percy's POV, but things get better, I promise!

Now for thankyou's.

I could say "OMG, Thankyou all so much for the reviews and Story Alerts, it is like, so, totally awesome!", but I won't. Instead I will say that it made my day. My brother wanted to know why I was smiling like a hyena…

Anyway, I hoped you liked it. If not, then sorry… I'll try to do better!
