Yay! Two chapters in one day! Guess what, guys? I actually worked on the plot line today so I know where this story is going. Yay! Okay, so funny story, Gangnam Style came on in the car and my mom was all "I s this the condom song?" Cuz 'gangnam' sounds like 'condom'. So funny.

Dear Captainforrkz,

Your latest review made me laugh so hard, even though it probably wasn't supposed to be funny. " I think it should be Percabeth fluff fluff where Annabeth is actually alive". Its not funny, but it's still really funny. Like when someone falls in gym class. It's funny, but it's not funny because they could be hurt, but it's still funny. Sorry(:

And Guest who thought this and anyone else who also did,

The flower was just a sentimental thing. I just randomly added it in because I was watching the Hunger Games and was in a sappy mood.

Okay, anyways. TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE MAD AT ME FOR KILLING ANNABETH and considering to stop reading my story (Sorry for the all caps business, I needed your attention), I'm not going to give anything away, all I can say is to keep reading my story to wait and see. If RR killed off Annabeth, would you just toss the book over your shoulder and stop reading? No, you wouldn't. You would have continued to read it. Why am I any different. It's called FANFICTION, people. Don't expect it to be exactly like RR. It's going to be important. He would have done it for the plot. And this is for the plot. She is still going to be in it. That's all I can say. I'm not giving anything else away, so all I can say is keep reading. I'm sorry if you feel strongly enough to stop reading it, then go ahead, there's nothing I can say to stop you.

I showed two friends of mine, who hasn't even read the series( but has been told every single detail about by me) and one who has, the plot line and she thought it was really good. If that says anything, then good, if not, then whatever.

Also, if you are considering to stop reading the story and are still voting, I ask that you don't. Because I don't think it's fair to the others who are continuing reading it and who are voting. This contest thingy was for you guys and all the support you're giving me. It's not very supportive if you stop reading it.

Sorry, that review just struck a chord. Anyways, on with the chapter!

Chapter Eleven: Percy

Percy couldn't breathe. Or sleep. Or think. He was just numb and confused.

What happened? What happened that Annabeth of all people couldn't handle? She was the strongest person he had ever met. She went on his first quest with him to save his mom. He flashed back to when he first saw her. It was hazy, but he remembered thinking there was a princess standing over him, with her curly hair and pretty face. Those feelings soon turned from thinking she was a princess to thinking she was a goddess. He remembered the one Thursday and Friday she had off from school after they had been dating for a few months, right before he had disappeared. She had gotten it approved for her to leave so she could come see him. She came over on Thursday and stayed through Sunday. He still had school and didn't know she was coming over. He had to knock on the door because he forgot his keys again and was surprised to see her open the door. She jumped into his arms, literally, and squealed her hello.

Annabeth had gotten a bit more girly since the end of the war. Before she wasn't really worried about her hair or her clothes, but since that ended her hair was always washed and smelled like flowers. Sometimes she had a barrette in to keep some of it off of her face. She wore fancy shirts sometimes as opposed to her usual t-shirt. But she was still Annabeth. And Percy loved her.

The meeting was kind of bittersweet because he still had school and a giant test on Friday. He had been getting C's, which was good for him, but he needed to get a good grade on this test or else he would get a D or worse for the term. So, Annabeth, being the angel she is, told him she would help him study. Percy didn't really know how to take this because she could really help, or make it more confusing than it was before because she was in Honors classes and, in most, he was in the lower ones. So, it was safe to say that she was basically a whole year more advanced than he was. She would go further in concepts than his class would even go and he would get confused and his teachers would yell at him for trying to be 'advanced' as they put it and tell him to stop.

But Annabeth was really helpful. They stayed up until midnight going over concepts and everything. It was a History test, so basically all it was was memorizing. They went from studying in the kitchen to the couch to his bedroom. They fell asleep together in his bed. He woke up in the morning to her head propped up on his chest and her curls splayed all over the place. He smiled as he kissed the top of her head and got up to shower.

When he got home, he could barely contain his excitement. But he tried to because he wanted to trick her. She got really worried and her eyes got darker. But then he busted out his full blown smile and showed her the test. He had gotten an A-! She slapped him on the arm for scaring her, but she rewarded him later with a make out session after his parents left. She finally succeeded in making him watch Harry Potter. She fell asleep in his arms again.

Percy smiled at the memory. But it quickly faded. He was alone in Tartarus. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he remembered the map Luke gave them. It was in her pocket. He didn't know if he could handle seeing her body again, but that was the only way he was going to succeed this quest. He turned back around and sprinted back to the cave, ignoring his wounds.

Percy just kept telling himself that that was what she would do. She would be brave and go back, even if it would make her feel worse. She would go back. Percy absentmindedly brought his hand up to his neck and play with her necklace. He tied it creatively so that it hung around his own like Annabeth's father's college ring did hers. He realized that's what he was doing and quickly brought his hand down. He didn't need to be distracted.

He came to the cave and walked in carefully. He walked to the room where she was. Percy took a deep breath before walking into the cave and braced himself. But when he walked in-

Her body was gone.

In its place was a lady. She was wearing a long sleeved red shirt. She had longer hair and gray eyes. Like Annabeth's. Percy, not taking comfort in that, drew his sword. They woman looked alarmed, but she drew her weapon as well. He leveled it and regarded her carefully. She did the same.

"Where is she?" He demanded his voice even and low.

"When I walked in she was being moved. I didn't see who it was." The woman seemed to be genuine. She didn't look very fierce, but distraught almost.

"She was my sister. I was trying to find her and help her because I heard she was down here. I saw the explosion, but-"The woman couldn't finish. She had started crying. Percy put down his sword.

"I- I knew she was looking for the Athena Parthenos and I wanted to help her, but now it's too late," She sobbed as she sat down on the floor. Percy stood there awkwardly. He still wasn't very good with crying.

"Hey, it- it's okay. She was my girlfriend, so I know how you feel," Percy said that last part quietly. The woman nodded. She stood up and held out her hand.

"Well, I'll help you then. This note fell out of her pocket. I think it's a map," She sniffled as she held out her hand. Percy took it and opened it.

"Yeah. An old friend that we ran into gave it to us to help us. We have to find this gray shrub. Something's in it that will help with us, I'm not sure what," Percy told her as he showed her the map. The woman nodded as she dusted herself off.

"Here, this fell off of her," The woman said. She handed Percy the Moonlace. Percy took in gingerly and studied it for a moment.

"Let's go," He said finally. He carefully placed the flower on the spot where Annabeth was. That was her flower. He didn't want it. The woman pretended not to notice.

They walked out of the cave and towards the direction Luke had pointed. Percy kept his sword out to light the way. Oddly enough, they weren't attacked once. Percy thought it was weird, but he wasn't complaining.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot. What's your name?" The woman asked Percy.

"Uh, Percy. What's yours?"

"Leila."

Dun, dun, dun! What do you guys think is going to happen? Again, prizes for whoever is closest!
