Thanks for all the support! Here is the next chapter!

POV: Annabeth

That cliff was like Tartarus. Endless.

Before we knew it, we were not seven feet from the ground.

I had braced for the impact, when a silk spider web caught us and pulled us up.

"Oh how nice of you to join your mother, Annabeth." said a silky voice from above. "And you brought friends? Even better!" the mysterious voice called from above once again.

Wait! A spider took my mother? It has to be her! Arachne!

The spider pulled us back up.

"I see the Minotaur has done its job." Arachne muttered once we were up. "Perseus? He isn't here?" she questioned.

"Why do you need to know that?" I snapped.

"I guess you will do. Percy is a very powerful demigod, but you're not bad." Arachne thought aloud.

This is when I wished I had Drew with me. Even though she wasn't my favorite demi-god, she had the power of charmspeak. "Arachne, this is not theway to get back at Athena." I said. "Instead why don't you challenge her to another weave-off?" I could almost make out the wheels turning in the spiders head. "Then we would surely know who the best weaver is!" I offered.

"'I'll think about it!" she snapped back.

POV: Percy

So far it's been a whole week without Annabeth. How had I done it?

"Annabeth, come back." I said looking out to the sea.

"You're lucky." A voice said from behind.

I looked behind and saw Silena smiling humorlessly.

"Silena, are you okay?" I asked.

"Sometimes I just can't believe he's gone, you know? It's just so hard to believe. At least you know Annabeth is coming back. Don't lose hope Percy. She wouldn't leave you without a fight."

I knew exactly what she was talking about, Beckendorf. He had sacrificed his life to save camp.

"Silena… thanks. I'm really glad you told me that." Then I went up and hugged her. Silena was one of my good friends.

"Percy you shouldn't worry so much." She told me before walking back to her cabin.

I pulled out a Gold Drachma from my pocket (Hey you never know when it might come in handy!) and ran to the fountain by my cabin.

"Oh goddess please accept my offering!" I said "Nico Di Angelo, wherever he is!"

I finally got through and saw him.

"Nico!" I yelled to get his attention. "I need your help, with… Annabeth.

"Oh hey, yeah sure anything." he replied. "Just a second."

He was wearing his usual: black skinny jeans, black t-shirt, and a skull ring on his finger.

Within thirty seconds he appeared. Shadow travel. I forgot children of Hades could do that.

"What's up Percy?"

"Well… er… I was wondering…. If you could tell when people die." I stuttered.

"Well yeah, if I'm close to them, like friends or family, I can tell." He replied.

I sighed in relief.

"So nothing ha-" I started.

"Percy, she's fine." he finished.

"Thanks, man." I told him. "Well I have some new half-bloods to show around now." I said. "See you around."

"Yeah." he replied.
