Hey guys! Thanks for everythkng, I'm so sorry for not updating in a while. I've been trying to, but I just great so uninspired.

I've got some bad news. Now it looks like I'm going to update about once a week. If I feel like it, I'll update, but I promise at least one chapter a week. Haha, that was probably not what you expected, but yeah, it's true. This next chapter is inspired from a chapter in the story The Truth Behind The Mask. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I don't own Percy Jackson. If I did, Annabeth and Percy would have kissed in the first book. And the second one. And the third one. You get what I mean.

Shoutouts:

RavenclawRaccoon: Thanks! I can't wait to write it!

Wade98: I know, right? And I thought my profile pic would give it away. I'm obviously a girl.

Giraffesplaycell: Thanks! And why do you log out? I just never log out and I rarely have to log back in. Even if I do, it's saved and all I have to do is the captcha code.

A Venezuelan: Thanks for the correction. I'll use it in any further chapters with Spanish in them.

Masterofstorms: Thanks. I will try to add some of that in my story.

Lost-In-A-New-World: Thanks! I always get these cool plot ideas then the story just flows...

PunksNotDeadYouAre: Cool. I was planning on doing something like that. Just not in this chapter.

Annabeth's POV

Depressing? More than it already was? I wish I could get out of the room, but all the doors were locked. And frankly, (zhangly) I want to learn more about Leo's past. I thought he was just a weird little player, but I guess there was more behind that elfish smile.

After about 5 minutes, in which Percy ate 10 bags of Takis (gods...I don't even know how to react...) the memory that was supposedly super sad started. The snacks disappeared and were replaced by tissue boxes.

It showed Leo walking down the streets at night. He looked about 10. He sat down against the wall of a building. He pulled a picture out of the blue backpack on his back. (A/N Obvious much?)

"Te extrano, mama."

A buff, African American boy who looked about 14 walked behind Leo and yelled, "Punk! Did you think you could hide? You ratted us out, ****!"

Leo tried to run but the boy grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"Look, Lugnut, I'd love to talk, but I've got to, um-"

"Oh no, you almost got us in jail. You are going to die."

"Couldn't you just give me a stern talking to?"

Lugnut laughed a cold and dry laugh. "Nope." Then he pulled out a knife.

"I'm not wasting a bullet on you, ya pathetic elf." Lugnut's friends came out of the shadows and surrounded Leo so that he wouldn't be able to run away.

"Well, Lugnut, I've got something to say before I die."

"Yes?"

"Goodbye." Leo bit Lugnut on his arm, and ran off as Lugnut cried out in agony.

"Get him!"

The gangsters grabbed their guns and ran after Leo.

Leo ran into an alley, but he ran into a dead end.

He turned around to see the entire group, about 40 or 50 people.

Lugnut walked to the front, doing a slow clap.

"The awesome amazing "chickgun" made it to a dead end. What's going to happen next, oh yeah, he's going to die." He smirked. He grabbed a gun and pointed it towards Leo.

"No, Leo!" Hazel yelled at the screen.

Piper had tears coming down like a river, and so did Hazel. I didn't notice a tear fall down, and when it happened, Percy put an arm around me.

He looked at me with a look that said it's going to be okay. I smiled weakly.

I saw Frank looking just a bit jealous of Leo, considering how badly Hazel was crying. But Hazel hugged him, looking for comfort, and he smiled lightly. He kissed her forehead and I went back to looking at the memory.

Percy's protective hand covered my eyes. I tried to move it, until I heard a gunshot. That's when I let it out.

All three girls yelled at the same time, their boyfriends covering their eyes from the sight.

"LEO!"

Okay, that was so mean, after all that time, only giving you guys a short chapter. But I really wanted to end it like this. To make up for it, I'll post another chapter today. And did you get the Frank joke at the top? Frankly? Zhangly? Get it? Eh.

Bye! See ya again in a few seconds, depending when you see this. :P
