Oh yeah, double digit chapters . Woot woot! Okay, so voting as of now is Jason & Piper: 2 Percabeth:1 Vote, vote, vote!

Okay, how many of you are mad at me? I desperately want to know. But don't worry, this one is just a filler chapter. Just people coming to terms with what happened. Some fluff for all the couples. So that's good(:

Anyways, I feel like I had something important to say. I can't remember though, so it must not of been important.

On with the chapter!

Piper

My mind came to a halt. She's dead? No. Annabeth couldn't be dead. No. That, just- no.

"Are you sure?" Hazel asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Nico nodded. His eyes were cloudy, like Annabeth's had gotten when she was angry.

"I'm sure."

Suddenly, I got angry. Before I knew it, I stood up and stalked out of the room, slamming the door closed as I went. I went to the deck. I needed some fresh air. I looked down at the waves. I had found them to be comforting these last few days. The waves were pretty steady and they were strong. Like Percy had been when he followed Annabeth down into Tartarus. Oh, no. Percy.

How was he handling this? Now he was alone in Tartarus of all places. His girlfriend had just died and now he had to navigate the deepest pit of hell by himself. And he was Percy, the most idiotic, sarcastic person she had ever met. But, I had to admit he could be clever. How he ad tricked Chrysaor and his crew? Classic. He had lost the battle with him, but Annabeth justified later by saying he was just rusty and he had defeated Ares in his first quest when he was twelve. Then she started to talk about Percy some more. She was so in love with him. Piper could see it, anyone could even if she didn't. And Percy was in love with her, too. Anyone with eyes could see that.

Piper began to shake. Annabeth couldn't die. She was supposed to do so many things. She was supposed to be with Percy for the rest of her life. Be a super architect. Finish rebuilding Olympus and move on to building so many other things. She was a great person and she just couldn't die. She was too strong.

Sobs began to escape. She slowly began to slide down the rail wall thing. She put her head in between her knees and began to cry, taking comfort in the slow roll of the waves.

Jason

Jason was pissed. How in the Hades did Annabeth Chase die? And who did it? Jason vowed right then and there that he was going to find whoever did this and give them a taste of their own medicine.

"Who did it?" Jason demanded, his voice tight. Nico shrugged. Jason's anger level rose to it's highest level.

"One of your friends just died and you shrug?" Jason interrogated as he slowly stood up in his chair. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Leo

Leo was horrified. With the news and with Jason. Nico wouldn't stand a chance against an angry Jason.

"Nothing, I just don't know who did it." Jason started to walk towards him. Leo stood up and put a hand on his shoulder. Jason vaguely realized this, but he made no move to stop.

"Jason, why don't you calm down and we can go find Piper and tell Chiron the...news." Leo had trouble articulating the words. He felt a lump in his throat forming. Leo tried to ignore it. Leo hasn't cried since his mother's death and he wasn't about to now. Annabeth wouldn't want that.

"Come on man, A- Annabeth wouldn't want us to fight," Leo whispered. Jason looked back at him. His eyes were dry, but the pain etched on his face was perfectly visible. He nodded in agreement. Leo looked at Hazel. Tears were streaming down her cheeks and Frank didn't look much better. He wasn't crying, but he looked like he was fighting a losing battle. His arm was around Hazel's shoulders protectively. Nico suddenly started to scrutinize the corner, but he quickly got over it. Leo had always thought the kid was a little strange, but not that strange. But Leo chose not to dwell on that, he had more important things to worry about.

"Come on, let's go find Beauty Queen."

They walked out of the meeting room. Leo kept his hand on Jason's shoulder the whole time. Leo didn't know if it was doing any good for him, but it kind of kept Leo busy. Comfort everyone. Yes, that's good.

They came to the deck of the ship. Piper was leaning against the wall. Her arms were folded across her knees and her head was resting on it. Jason sighed and sat next to her, putting his arm around her. She barely acknowledged their presence. She just stared at her shoes.

"We should contact camp," Leo said awkwardly, staring at his hands. Piper nodded glumly. Jason helped her to her feet. They walked down to the kitchen and turned on the sink. Leo fished out a drachma and through it in the water.

"Chiron. Half-blood Hill," Leo said glumly. He tried to compose himself as best he could. He ran hand through his hair and straightened his shirt. Chiron came to view. Distress was etched on his face.

"Hey Chiron," Jason greeted. He didn't sound happy and Leo didn't expect him to. Chiron jumped a little and turned towards them.

"Hello chil- What's wrong, Piper?" HE obviously saw Piper's tearstained face and the fact that she was clinging to Jason.

"I-it's A-Annabeth," Piper sniffled. Leo put a hand on her forearm and rubbed sympathetically while he looked at his shoes. He will not cry. He will not cry. Chiron didn't saw anything. He seemed to understand. He stared of into space as he began to stroke his beard.

"That's...unfortunate," He said finally. Leo saw Jason tense up again. He was about to say something, but Chiron beat him to it.

"Don't you dare get flustered with me, boy. I practically raised that child," Chiron spat. Leo was taken by surprise. Usually Chiron was so calm and collected. But, he seemed to realize he had lashed out at Jason.

"I'm sorry for my outburst. I must go tell the other campers." Chiron waved his hand through the mist. Leo could just barely make out a tear.

Hazel

Hazel didn't know what to say or how to react. She didn't know Annabeth, really, but she also looked up to her. She was so strong and brave. Hazel didn't want her to die. Now what would they do? She always made the plans and gave them hope, but now they were stuck.

Frank was really quiet, but he kept an arm around her. She was grateful for that. She really was.

They were alone in the dining room. Nico had retired to his room and so had Coach Hedge, sniffling on his way out.

"Frank?" She asked. He looked at her.

"Hmm?"

"How do you think she...you know..." Hazel said, intently staring at her folded hands. Frank stared off into space.

"I don't know. Maybe she was tricked," Frank suggested.

"It's Annabeth though," Hazel said softly.

"Maybe they had gotten separated and were outnumbered." Hazel nodded. This seemed the most likely. If they were together, Percy would never of let her die over him. And the same in reverse. Annabeth told her the story of how he took the sky for her. Literally. And Percy had told her the story of how Annabeth took a knife for him.

"Frank?" She said after a little while.

"What?"

"I'm sorry," She said quietly.

"For what?" He snorted. Hazel shrugged.

"The whole Leo/ Sammy thing." Frank just shrugged.

"I don't care."

"Yes you do," She whispered. Frank just smiled and tightened his arm around her. He put his nose to her forehead.

"Let's finish this quest."

"For Annabeth?"

"For Annabeth."
