*****UPDATE*******

35 Reviews! GO VOTE(: Voting ends next Friday (November 16th[I think]). YAY!

I know you all hate me. Trust me, I hate me, too. Especially since I'm only giving you half a chapter. I have an excuse, but only those of you whose life is absorbed with honors classes, getting used to a new schedule, practicing three different instruments and trying to not have a mental breakdownevery other five minutes will understand. Others will just tell me to shut up and write more. Unless you do understand. Then I'm sorry I doubted you.

But seriously, my school used to go by the block schedule which is only four classes a day and the classes are an hour and half (except me who had five classes and went by orang/blue days and every other day alternated from gym/health to band). But now they changed it and I now have six classes a day( 8, but thoses one don't have homework) and homework every night. Which isn't hard, it's just time-consuming. What we do is we take notes from the book for homework and then do activities for that during the schoolday. Which, like I said, is fine until you have to do that for six classes and you're doing homework for five hours every night. And then sleep becomes vital for those around me because when I get cranky it's not pretty and my sass gets out of control like past Percy-level and it's just bad. I haven't gotten a detention yet, though, so that's good.

Okay, I'm done with my rant. Now, to the good stuff: ONE MORE REVIEW UNTIL I DO THE CONTEST THINGY! When we get that magical review, then the contest will open. I'll post the rules on my profile. So, recap, if you didn't read the last AN:

I will write another story on

A. Fluffity fluff fluff on which ever pairing you want. ( If this one gets chosen, then another contest will happen)

B. A futurefic thingy

C. I don't remember what the other choices were so go look!

***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***

THE LAST REVIEW DOES NOT COUNT IF IT IS YOUR VOTE FOR ONE OF THESE CHOICES. It does count, however, if it is you wishing me a happy birthday. Which is tomorrow, Tuesday November 6th. It is the big 16. You don't have to wish me a happy birthday, though. But it will seriously make my freaking day if you do. :D The second you see the review number say '35' or anything above it, you can start voting. I'll keep a tally for like a week. So cast your vote or forever hold your peace.

You only get half a chapter...I'm sorry. BUT...It's Percy/Annabeth and you guys have been asking for that so, yay!

And, guys...I don't mind and will most likely listen to you if you make suggestions. Unless it conflicts with the plot line that I already have in mind.

AGH I MAY get my own laptop for that lovely birthday Imentioned earlier which = more updates. YAY!

Also( Last one, I friggin' swear to those of you who are still with me) I was told Frank and HAzel weren't a couple. I seriously don't remember that. Like ever. I know it was kind of iffy- gray area, but I seriously don't remember that. I'll look it up and let you know my findings unless one of you 7,000 vieweres (3) wants to just tell me.

I own nothing. RR does. Pixar owns the Nemo reference.

Chapter Seven(Finally) - Annabeth

It felt like someone was staring at me. Like when someone stares into space during class and the space happens to be your back. I woke with a start, slightly stirring Percy, but he just grumbled and went back to sleep. His shirt was still on the scratches, so that was good, but he looked freakishly pale. He had sweat beaded on his forehead and he was shaking slightly. I sighed and started to stroke his hair, but I still couldn't shake the uneasy feeling.

We were in Tartarus, and honestly, it wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. We barely ran into any monsters or demons. It reminded me of the Labyrinth. Just a whole lot of nothing we can't handle. I was expecting us not even being able to walk through it without having to fight or way, but so far it's been easy.

Suddenly, shivers were sent up my spine as I heard something shuffle. My eyes darted around my field of vision for an intruder, but I didn't see anything. I looked above me and saw that the wall I was sitting against was kind of like the trench in Finding Nemo. I noticed and alleyway type thing next to us.

There were weird-looking rocks lined up across from me. There was one bigger one and then four smaller ones decreeing in size next to it. Then the same thing was almost mirrored next to it.

Slowly, I came across the realization that they were feet, not rocks.

I traveled my gaze up and was meet with a malicious smile gazing down at me. It was all I could do not to whimper.

"Hello, Daughter of Athena." The thing answered. It wasn't a giant. Giants were guys, not she was certainly big.

It was a woman with an interesting face. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't ugly. She had long slender legs that were covered with a tiered skirt that made it look like snake scales.

It dawned on me that this woman could be Lamia, but I was seriously hoping it was one of her children. The real Lamia is a nightmare. She was like Aphrodite mixed with Medusa and Arachne. ANd I had dealt with all of them and I definitely don't want them all combined into one.

"Hello." I surprised that my voice sounded braver than I felt.

"You're boyfriend looks delicious," She sneered and she examined her perfectly manicured nails. Yep, it was definitely LAmia or one of their children. They used to be described as vampires who feasted on children. And, like it or not, Percy was still considered a child. So was I, but she preferred men to women.

""Uh, yeah," I stumbled. I grabbed Percy's sword and slowly removed his head from my lap. I had a sort of plan forming in my head, but it probably wouldn't work in a million years. But, I couldn't think of anything better, so I went with it. It all depended on one thing. If that one thing was incorrect, then we are screwed.

"So do you,but as you probably know, I like my men," She sneered as she walked towards us. Sh grew smaller as she came out of the trench. I peered my head into it more. There was no explanation as to why she shrunk as she walked closer.

She was about my height with flowy blonde hair and green eyes. Not Percy green, though. It was more of a light, washed out green. I couldn't tell what was up with her face. I couldn't even come up with an adjective to describe it. I didn't mean to be vain, but I couldn't tell if it was her eyes or nose or what.

"I am Lamia, as you may have guessed. Now, I have started a sort of program. I can either take you both as my prisoners and eat you both, or I can train you as one of my followers and you will live, while I eat him, or we can eat him together. Your choice,"She said with a smile. Thank the gods.

I had remembered Thalia telling me she was upset because Lamia didn't have enough kids to help her eat people. so, she started a sort of Hunters of Artemis sort of thing.

My plan revolving around this was absolutely and utterly crazy and would probably get us both killed, but I had to try.

"Why, join you of course," I said with my best evil purr. Lamia smiled what was probably a big smile for her and motioned for me to follow her. I groaned inwardly and looked down at Percy. I really didn't want to move him again. He was heavy.

"Leave him," Lamia ordered. "My servants will take care of that." Just then, a giant horse/ snake thing came out of the trench and easily got Percy on his back. I followed Lamia into the trench while discreetly checking on Percyfrom time time. Or, what I hope was discreetly.

The trench was unlike anything I had ever felt. It felt like there were millions of pairs of eyes on me. When I looked at the rocks across from me, I saw either reflections of myself or other scenes. Some had people in restaurants eating and laughing. Others had classrooms, and sports related activities. Others had a neighborhood under monitor. Suddenly, Lamia stopped. This one had very familiar faces on it. I recognized Frank immediately. Then Leo, HAzel, Piper, and Jason. They were talking to a woman I had never seen before. She had a psychotic look in her eye. HAzel was suddenly thrown against a wall. Was this actually going on? Lamia's sigh interrupted my thoughts.

"This is how we know what's going on in your foolish little quests. And that woman is your incorrigible half-sister. She was fun to turn," Lamia said with a sadistic grin.

I'm sorry I have to end it there! I have a project to attend to, but I prmise that the next one will have no author's note other than anouncing the winner and it will be seriously epic. I'm excited. All I can tell you is that Annabeth is going to kick some serious booty.

REVIEWW!
