Guys, I'm so so so so so so sorry for making you wait so long to get the next chapter. That last, scene, wasn't meant to be so awkward, but the delivery of the scene was a little, messed up. He only kissed him because that is the object that Annabeth gave him. Also, to answer someone's question, the last chapter DID have something to do with the prophecy, because it said "Wisdom's Daughter shall stand idly by..." I isn't actually Annabeth that is there. She is in the Underworld, unable to do anything. It actually says that Percy will be searching for his something that is lost, (which is Annabeth.) Hope that helps! Thanks for reading this guys, I appreciate it a lot. It really brightens my day when you review too, even the critical stuff. Love you guys! *Air kisses and internet hugs*
Disclosure, I do not own Percy Jackson, That troll, Rick Riorden does, (But if I did own them, I probably woudn't be much better. As this story has proved)
Hades said, "Well, I suppose that counts," he appeared unfased while Percy's face was still cherry red with embarrasment. "Your next task will be a little like, what do you humans call it, a scavenging-"
"A scavenger hunt?"
"Yes, whatever you said. You will collect a series of items for me, from various locations, that you can then give to me in exchange for...this." Hades gestured to the body he was possesing.
Percys tensed up a little with anger upon Annabeth, his Annabeth being called a "this"
"But," Hades continued, "You will only have a week to complete my task. It is not likely that you will be able to get your beloved from my realm, and return to your camp. It is likely, however that you will join her none the less, as your quest will be extremely dangerous and deadly."
"Are you so sure about that buddy? Because me and Annabeth freaking went through TARTARUS! Closed the Doors of Death, AND did it all in time to meet back up with our friends."
"Yes, but you did that all with assistance, this quest must be done by you alone. I will be there occasionaly, but only to check your progress."
Percy decided that it would be a bad idea to argue with the Lord of the Underworld about his abilities, so he just said, "What do I have to do first?"
"The first item that you will collect for me, Percy Jackson, is the Hope Diamond."
Lets end with a cliffhanger. BWAHAHAHA! Sorry, I'll get the next one up, but once again, I require reasearch. Keep reading, it really means a lot to me when you do. Love you guys!
