*Okey dokey, here we go. This chapter's going to be tough on my poor, Percabeth-loving heart. If my computer dies from being short-circuited by my sobs, don't be surprised*

For as long as she could remember, Annabeth had loved the story of Alice in Wonderland. A girl falls down a rabbit hole into a new, bizarre land full of amazing and wonderful creatures; what isn't to love? Well, here comes the rant! As she hurtled through the air towards the depths of Tartarus, clinging to her boyfriend, Annabeth had to laugh at her stupidity. She and Percy had just fallen down the literal Rabbit Hole. But this wasn't Wonderland; It was literal Hell.

With a thud that took her breath away, the two demigods hit the ground. Percy was the first to recover. He sat up and looked down at Annabeth.

"You okay?" he croaked out.

Annabeth couldn't respond; the pain in her broken ankle was too intense. She gave a small gasp and tried to sit up, but she couldn't. Instantly, Percy's hands were on her shoulders: holding her in place.

"Don't you dare move until I can get a look at this ankle of your's."

Annabeth nodded meekly and Percy gently eased the ankle onto his lap.

"Okay, first we need a splint of some sort."

He looked around at their surroundings. All that was around was skeletons. Annabeth knew what Percy was thinking before he said it.

"That's disgusting, Percy!" she said weakly.

"Don't think about it." Percy advised as he grabbed a spare bone and pressed it against her ankle. She winced in pain and Percy whispered,

"I'm sorry, Wise Girl."

"Don't be." she said shakily.

"It's my fault we're down here anyway."

Percy leaned down and kissed her gently.

"Never say that. We're staying together; that's all there is to it."

Annabeth nodded and then Percy said,

"We need something to bind the splint."

Unfortunately, there was nothing. Percy brushed his hair out of his eyes frustratedly, and then brought his hand away, covered in cobwebs. Realization dawned across his face and he began hurriedly grabbing all the cobwebs that covered both their bodies.

"You have got to be joking." Annabeth muttered as her boyfriend bound her leg in the spider's silk.

"Dead serious." Percy replied.

He reaching into his pocket and withdrew a doggie bag with a few squares of ambrosia in it.

"Here, take some." he said, taking out a square.

Annabeth shook her head firmly.

"No, I don't need it. We'll probably be going through that stuff pretty quickly soon."

"Annabeth." Percy said darkly.

"Take the ambrosia already."

Annabeth had never heard Percy use a tone like that before; he was angrier than she'd even seen him. So much so, she managed to sit up and take the ambrosia from him.

"I'll take half." she said, pulling it into equal parts and putting on in her mouth and chewing, placing the other back into the bag. Percy's face told her that this wasn't good enough, but she definitely wasn't taking anymore.

Percy stood up and then helped Annabeth to her feet.

"Can you walk?" he asked anxiously.

Annabeth took one step and fell to her knees. The ambrosia hadn't worked yet. Percy put an arm under her shoulders and hauled her up.

"We'll do it together." he said, kissing her cheek.

"Just like old times."

They hobbled along together; Percy supporting most of Annabeth's weight. They walked over the flat terrain.

"Do you even know where we should be heading?" Annabeth asked.

"Not a clue. I'm going by my gut."

Annabeth rolled her eyes at he ridiculous boyfriend. As a child of Athena, she always needed a plan. But Percy was impulsive and unpredictable, like the ocean itself. She was about to reply when she was cut off by a ROAR.

"What in Hades' name is that?" Annabeth said fearfully.

Percy'e eyes were wide with fear. He scooped Annabeth and ran to the right, depositing her behind a boulder.

"What is it, Percy?" she cried.

"Well, I should certainly know what it is by this point, considering I've killed him twice!" Percy yelled back, grabbing Riptide and uncapping it.

*I'm sorry! Another cliffhanger in two chapters! Please don't kill me!*
