Evil Lives On

A/N: This chapter will be another chapter that you will probably not like. This one will have a very big cliffhanger. I know some of you viewers out there are begging me for no more cliffhangers, but I can't help it. If I don't put in at least one or two more cliff hangers in this story, then it might be less interesting to you all. I want to keep all of your interests and gain even more interests from other viewers. The story is a pretty big hit, but it's not exactly where I want it to be. So from now on, I want a review for each chapter from everyone whose read this. So, if you posted a review for say chapters 7-14, but not chapters 1-6, then go to those chapters and post a review for them. I really want a lot of great results coming from each chapter of this story and the only way that can happen is if all of you post a review per chapter from now on. I don't know how I can stress that out even further. But now, here's the cliffhanger of chapter 15.

Percy's POV

I woke up the next morning, with my sleeping wife still next to me. I really wanted to stay with her, but something tells me that this would be the last time I see Annabeth for awhile. I quickly shook the thoughts out of my head and went out the cabin, careful not to wake her.

"She needs all the sleep she can get." I quietly said to myself while walking to the beach.

That place always seems to calm me down; maybe it has something to do with me being the Son of Poseidon and all of that. I was gazing at the rising sun when I felt a presence behind me, I turned around and saw Calypso.

"Are you nervous my brave one?" she asked me, with love in her voice. I have to admit it, she was right.

"I... I kinda am, yeah, a little bit." I said, trying to retain what macho image I have.

Calypso chuckled a bit and sat beside me. "That's understandable Percy, but I'm sure you'll do fine." She said, her head slowly leaning in on my shoulder.

I know I'm married, happily I should add, but still, I allowed Calypso to lean her head on my shoulder, it just felt like she needed more comforting than me. She rested her head there for a few minutes until I heard a new set of foot prints in the sand. It was Annabeth, and by the looks of things, she isn't pleased where Calypso's head is resting.

"Annabeth, this isn't what it looks like, honest." I tried explaining even before she can start squeezing my neck, but she just sat on my other side and did the same thing that Calypso did.

This is going beyond weird, something must have happened for Annabeth to not go for Calypso's throat or mine for that matter. Calypso must have sensed that Annabeth and I needed to be alone because she left after looking at the other girl at my side.

"Are you alright Annabeth?" I asked her tentatively.

"Yeah, and if your wondering why I didn't put you through the ringer after what I saw, it's because I can feel that all you have for her is friendship, nothing more. Especially since were now married." She gave the answer to the question in my head.

I smiled at her and kissed her. "That's my wise-girl." I said after kissing her. She just snuggled closer to me and pecked my cheek.

"Remember Percy, you are MINE, and you WILL come back to me." Annabeth gently whispered in my ear.

"Of course, I will always come back to you wise-girl, always." I answered back.

We just stayed there for a few minutes until Chiron came and told me it was time to go. Annabeth helped me pack my things, and walked me to the border, where Argus was waiting in the camp van.

"Bye Seaweed Brain, stay safe." Annabeth said to me with a gentle kiss.

And with that I climbed in the van and went to the airport. The flight and me getting to Mount Saint Helens was the easy part. I still couldn't believe how easy it was to get here, it feels and looks like a trap. I found the entrance and went in. I didn't know how but visions were coming to me, like nightmares because what I saw brought me to my knees. I saw images of my friends suffering, Grover carrying the sky, like Atlas, Rachel being forced to do things I really shouldn't mention, my mom being constantly attacked by monsters, but worst of all, I saw Annabeth being attacked by giant spiders, she was constantly calling for my name, asking for my help, but I couldn't move. I had tears in my eyes as I saw my wife getting bitten, and writhing in pain. Then as fast as it came, it all went away. I got on all fours and started breathing heavily, I wanted my friends to avoid that scenario. I can't bear the thought of them suffering. Then, I saw Kronos sitting on his throne, I pulled out riptide and uncapped it, but instead of getting Rule Breaker, or the Sword of Olympus, which ever blade he was suppose to have right now, he just started laughing evilly.

"It's no use Perseus Jackson; you can't defeat me this time." Kronos said sure of himself.

"What makes you so sure?" I challenged as I charged at him, but got repelled back by a barrier.

I started to hit the barrier with all I've got; I needed to send him to Tartarus again, for my friends not to suffer. His laughter just got louder and more cynical.

"Because, you will be joining me, you will be my new vessel." He said smugly.

"IN YOUR DREAMS!" I shouted at the titan lord.

"I think you will, do you remember those things you saw?" He asked.

I flinched when I remembered those horrible visions.

"Those are what's going to happen if you do not join me, but they can be spared, if you just become my vessel, become my co-reagent." He finished his sentence.

"Your bluffing." I said.

It sounded like I was encouraging myself more than countering Kronos' threat.

"My minions are already ready to strike on my command." He said, showing me an Iris-message looking at his minions slowly but surely approaching camp half-blood and then the battle broke off. I could see everyone at camp fighting to defend our home. My heart almost skipped a beat when Annabeth narrowly missed getting shot fatally with a poison arrow, but my relief was short lived, a dracaena nit her in the back of the head and it seemed like every monster was coming to her, ready to tear my wife apart.

"NO, STOP IT, PLEASE DON'T HURT HER. I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!" I shouted pleading.

"Excellent, now prepare yourself to accept my presence." Kronos said as he turned into a specter and entered my body, I felt a strange heat coming from within me. I could feel my body becoming his, my sub consciousness taking a back seat and Kronos' had complete control over me, my eyes becoming gold instead of sea-green.
'I'm sorry Annabeth, live well my love' I thought to myself, hope for me was now gone.

I AM KRONOS!

Annabeth's POV

Just when Percy leaves, an entire army of monsters attacked camp. I knew we would have our work this out without our best warrior, but we have to defend camp. I narrowly dodged an arrow that was laced in poison. But when I turned around a dracaena came from behind me and hit me in the back of my head. When I came to, the battle was over and we won, Rachel came to me and told me what happened.

"We were about to get run over, but then they just disappeared." She narrated.

"I wonder why at the verge of their victory, they leave?" I asked openly. It seemed like Rachel and I had the same idea as we both mouthed the same name.
"Percy." We said at the same time, but when we said my husband's name, lightning sounded off from the sky, we looked at the sea and it seemed like there was a storm coming. I glanced at my wedding ring worriedly, fearing that he has died... again.

There's your cliffhanger. But don't worry, there are a few more chapters that will be added to this story. I'll get this story done as soon as possible.
