Do you guys like it when I accompany chapters with songs? Let me know!

The song for this chapter is 'Opus 37' by Dustin O'Halloran. I know I've been using him for almost every chapter. He just has a lot of great piano solos, and I'm totally in love with his work. It's almost like he's composing the songs specifically for the chapters. He's amazing.

As usual, check my profile for the song if you need help.

And thanks to the people who reviewed and put this story in their Favorites/Subscription list! I'm sorry if it sounded like I was complaining in the other chapter about the reviews :/

Annabeth

I sat with my back to the door. I was starting to get scared. Everything had happened so fast.

My wound on my forehead had dried up, and blood crusted my hair. I had fought back the urge to cry several times. First when Octavian left me in the cell by myself and my forehead throbbed in pain, and the other a couple hours ago.

I'm sure I looked like a mess. Bruises were already blooming on my stomach where the butt of the sword got me, and I'm sure I smelled even worse.

I suddenly heard footsteps and voices carrying outside in the hallway.

"Open the door," a voice ordered. The door swung open, but I didn't move.

"You have a visitor, Miss Chase," Octavian said.

I refused to turn around. I was sure he was going to bait me. I heard him whispering something, and then a body fell to the ground beside me. The door banged shut.

The person groaned. He sounded familiar.

I turned around and saw Percy.

Percy. Here. In my cell.

I was shocked. Why would they put him in my cell? They should've kept us apart.

"Percy," I whispered. "Why? How-"

His eyes flickered towards me, and he looked upset. Relief didn't cross his face. He looked...scared.

I crawled towards him, not caring. He closed his eyes, but his head still faced me.

The back of my hand traced his jawline and I saw goosebumps erupt on his arms.

He's here. He's really here.

I surged forward and kissed him. Kissed him with all I had. I hadn't seen him in six months, and he was here. Right here.

He didn't move underneath me, and something wet touched my cheek.

I pulled back, and saw tears spilling out from underneath his eyelids. I wiped one away with my finger.

"Percy, are you alright? What did they do to you?" I whispered. I was scared. Why wasn't he doing anything? Did they hurt him?

He opened his eyes and they looked glazed over. They suddenly hardened.

He grabbed my wrist, pushed it away and sat up. Shocked, I moved away from him. What was he doing?

"Annabeth." His face looked disgusted, like he was repulsed by me. I didn't know what to do.

"Percy, what's-"

"Don't talk to me," he spat.

I froze. He'd never talked to me like this. Tears came to my eyes and they started to fall down my cheeks.

"I don't under-"

"I'm done, Annabeth. We're done. I don't..." He stopped, and for a minute, it looked like he was about to start crying again. It quickly vanished.

"I don't love you anymore." He practically shoved the words in my face.

I was paralyzed. Completely welded to the spot. I didn't breathe. I didn't move. Tears were definitely spilling now.

He glared at me. My heart broke.

My shock was replaced by anger. An anger so strong it boiled up and threatened to spill. I was ashamed that I was crying in front of him. I wiped at my eyes and stood up, seeing red.

"What? What?" I shrieked. "You don't love me anymore. So you can just turn it off, like that? Decide that you don't love me anymore? What happened to all the things we've done together? Are they just gone, too? Pretend like they never happened?"

I stormed toward him, but he just looked at me, anger on his face.

I hit him. Hit him hard.

He gasped and touched his cheek. It was already turning pink.

He jumped to his feet.

"You heard me, Annabeth. We're done. I'm through. It's over."

I pushed him, and he fell against the wall.

"I don't believe you."

I slammed myself against the door.

"Octavian! Octavian! You've had your fun! You've ruined me! You've ruined me," I screamed. "Let. Me. OUT." I pounded the door with each word. Tears started to fall down my cheeks, and soon I was crying, sobbing.

"No, no, no-no-no-no. This isn't real. This isn't happening." I fell against the door and slid to the ground. I refused to look at Percy.

I cried for a long time, and I couldn't get away from the person who'd done this to me. He sat on the ground, watching me, an unreadable expression on his face. I knew that he had cried, too, because his nose was red and his eyes puffy. I didn't feel any sympathy for him. He didn't make a move to comfort me. He just watched me.

I cried and cried.

This whole trip was completely worthless. We arrive at Camp Jupiter only to be kidnapped and to have my heart broken by someone that I'd trusted with my life. It was incredible how fast that trust could be broken. I was betrayed again by the person who said he'd never do something like that to me.

After several hours of complete silence and avoiding him, Percy walked over to me, one of his fists clenched.

"Get away from me."

"No."

"Go away!" I screamed.

He took my face in one hand, and I struggled, but he held me. The grip wasn't hard. It was...almost gentle.

With his other hand, he pulled out what looked like a vial. It was filled with a milky liquid. He uncapped it with his teeth.

"What are you doing?" I asked, fear in my voice.

"I'm sorry, Annabeth."

"Oh, you're sorry!" I laughed, nearing hysteria.

His eyes were soft. "I'm so sorry."

The vial neared my lips.

"You...what are you - no!"

The liquid fell into my mouth. I tried to spit it out, but some of it fell down my throat.

Blackness immediately started to take over my vision. I felt Percy let go of my face and take me in an embrace. His shoulders shook.

He placed my head on his shoulder and whispered something in my ear, voice trembling.

"I love you."

The blackness took over.

I'm going to be out of town until Friday, so I won't be able to upload later this week until Friday/Saturday. Let me know what you guys think in the reviews, and I hope that you have a fabulous week! Minus my depressing story.

~littlebitclever

P.S. I feel like responding to some reviews.

omgiloveit: We'll see how good Mark of Athena is. I hope that it's good, too! I seriously can NOT wait until October. Why did he have to leave Son of Neptune on such a big cliffhanger? D:

PercyplusAnnabeth: I am scared that something like this ^^^ will happen, too! He better not screw up the Percabeth reunion like I did. I think I'd chuck the book across the room if he did. You have cows! That's so cool! I'm not expecting a review for every chapter or anything, and it's nice that you review so much. Thanks!

Starkid Rocks: Jar of Hearts is also a good song for that chapter! Good idea, good idea. Maybe I'll use that one for another chapter. We'll see how the story turns out!

PercabethAndZebrasFTW: I winced writing the entire chapter! And now you know how Annabeth is feeling right now. Did I do her justice? I think I would act the same way if some guy did that to me. Or I'd just be speechless...enough about that! I hate Octavian, too... :(

waldork: Definitely depressing for the Fields of Punishment. Or even the Fields of Asphodel...hmm.
