Jatelyn0203: Thanks:
Castie-With-A-Shotgun: There is not Pothena in this
1234 (Guest): So do I and this may end up a bit cliche since most of the ideas are used but I'm trying not to make it cliche and avoiding all things that I thought sucked.
PercaBethPotter (Guest): Thanks
Brsrkfury: I know right! I hate when that happens!
nihal (Guest): Percabeth forever, OTP, also, so do I. Poseidon admitted that Percy is his favorite son in I think it was TLO.
And everyone else that might've reviewed (sorry, there's something wrong with the website and I can't read all of my reviews besides from my email)
Thank you for reviewing, I won the contest of most reviews with Cas...
Also, for people that didn't want me to continue, OH WELL, I already have like the first few chapters written. Its being edited.
Also, check out Cas's story, The Maze Of Dead Ends, the grammar might suck big time but check it out anyways just because.
Annabeth's POV:
Two weeks. It's been two weeks since we found out Zeus wanted us executed. It's been two weeks since we ran away from home. It's been two weeks since we didn't look back. A lot can happen in two weeks. Mrs. O'Leary shadow traveled us to Alaska, so that wasn't a problem. Blackjack met us here. We decided to stay at an abandoned house we found.
"Annabeth, what are you thinking?"
I looked up and saw Percy standing next to the bed I was currently laying on.
"That we should check this place out." I answered as I stared out the window."
He raised an eyebrow, "Terrible idea."
"Why?" I asked, "We're going to be here a while, so we should know where to get food, clothes, and – you know – the works."
"No, it's too dangerous."
"How is this dangerous? Alaska shouldn't even compare to what we've been through" I answered stubbornly. "Why are you so scared of this place anyways?" I asked, getting off my bed and grabbing a jacket.
"I almost drowned." He replied, stopping me in my tracks.
"Drowned?" I questioned.
He put on his jacket then grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, "Yup."
Percy opened the door and we left the house. He seemed like he didn't want to talk about it so I didn't push it.
All of a sudden, the darkness increased tenfold.
"Did Apollo crash into the moon or something?" Asked Percy as he pulled me closer to him.
I heard a malevolent laughter come from the distance.
"Hello dear." Said a feminine voice giving me chills.
I looked around but found no one the voice may belong to. In fact, the entire street – if you could call it that – was entirely empty.
"Show yourself!" I called out, my voice masking my emotions.
"Oh, but where's the fun in that?"
"Nyx…" Said another voice that probably belonged to a man.
"You're no fun, babe." Whined "Nyx".
Wait a second… "Nyx? As in, goddess of the night, Nyx?"
"So you've heard of me" A dark purple figure appeared in front of us.
"Who was the other dude?" Asked Percy, as blunt as ever.
I nudged him with my elbow in the ribs.
"You mean me?" Asked the voice from before as his figure appeared, looking like outer space on Earth.
"Chaos?" Asked Percy like he just confirmed his theory.
"Wh-" I started.
"How'd you guess?" Asked "Chaos".
"The dream… What war?"
"Percy, what are you talking about?" I asked, getting fed up with not knowing what was going.
"I've been watching you, and no, it isn't creepy" Said Chaos, ignoring what I asked.
"You said something about a war." Said Percy.
Chaos turned to me, "There's another war coming. This one…"
"This one what?" I asked. "And what do you mean, 'watching us'?"
"You two are great fighters, warriors' even." he replied, ignoring my first question. "I've seen what you can do on the battlefield, how you watch each other's backs. I started another army and I need a leader. After observing many great heroes such as Odysseus and Achilles, I've picked Percy."
"Why should I trust you?" Asked Percy while narrowing his sea green eyes at the dark figure in front of us.
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" I asked warily, raising an eyebrow.
"You don't." Replied Nyx with a shrug.
"I want to recruit the both of you in my army. The choice is yours." Said Chaos, standing patiently.
"What if we say no?" I asked cautiously.
"Then you can watch the world burn in flames as the human population ceases to extinct." Replied Chaos, his black eyes shining with honesty.
"And if we say yes?" asked Percy.
"Then we have a chance to make this war less bloody than it should be." Nyx said, "Of course, many won't make it, but that's inevitable. At least the world might still be here."
"We'll think about it." I said, grabbing Percy's hand and running to the house.
"What do you think?" Percy asked as I closed the door and took off my jacket.
"I don't know, but I want to sleep." I replied, stifling a yawn.
"Okay, I'll-"
"No, you're coming with me, you're my source of warmth" I cut him off.
He chuckled as I laid my head on his chest and fell asleep to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Ω
"We decline." I saw myself say.
"Are you sure?" Nyx asked, looking genuinely worried.
Percy and I nodded and then walked away.
"NO!" I saw myself shout.
Percy fell to the ground. "Go on without me," He whispered. "Warn them."
I took out nectar and started pouring it on Percy's wound. I so badly wanted to help but I was frozen in place. I couldn't do anything but watch myself try to save the love of my life.
"I love you, Wise Girl"
"The war-"
"You're supposed to be dead!" Zeus shouted, not letting me explain anything.
"There's a war that will destroy the world. I'm not the threat right now, but I can be." I said, giving my deadliest glare. My eyes were emotionless and I couldn't find it in myself to care.
"Where's my son?" Poseidon asked, his voice wavering.
A single tear fell down my face, "We're going to lose this war. We lost our greatest fighter and-"
"Greatest fighter?" My mom asked.
"I know you didn't like him much, but he saved Olympus twice. His dying wish was 'warn them'."
"Are you sure about this?" Piper asked.
"Percy is gone, but this is what he would've wanted," Nico stated, "For us to come together like the family we are, and fight."
"So-" I saw Frank get his head cut off.
"Frank!" cried Hazel.
"It's started" I saw myself say.
Fire. Fire everywhere. Mom…
"Guys?" I saw myself call.
"Annabeth!" I heard.
"Leo? Leo, where are you?"
"Right here babe" I turned and saw something – that definitely wasn't Leo – holding Luke's old sword; Backbiter.
I wanted so badly to tell myself to run and get out of there, to save myself and forget about getting my sword, but I couldn't.
The thing stabbed me right in the heart.
Ω
I woke up with a start. I sat up, breathing heavily.
"Annabeth, baby, what's wrong?" Percy asked, rubbing my back.
"Nightmare."
"Tartarus?" He asked gently.
I shook my head, "I wish."
Percy frowned, "I think we should say yes."
"For what?" I asked curiously.
"The army." He replied with certainty.
I nodded.
I think that was one of the best yet worst choices in my life.
