When Percy arrived at Camp Half-Blood he acted as he used to before his thoughts changed. He found everyone talking at the big house. Percy walked in with his old smile on his face.

"Percy?" Annabeth whispered weakly, and everyone turned to face him.

"Hey, guys. I'm really sorry about what happened. As soon as Tartarus left I went back to normal. I was wondering where you were."

"Oh my gods!" said Hazel.

"Umm… Annabeth? Can I talk to you outside?" asked Percy.

"Yeah, of course!"

They walked outside, and as soon as they were out of everyone's sight Annabeth hugged him. Percy hugged her back.

"Oh Percy! I was so worried about y-"

Percy swung the butt of his sword and hit the back of her head. Annabeth crumpled to the floor. Percy carried her to Blackjack and climbed on. Even though he had changed, Blackjack still was his pegasus, and obeyed him.

"I have your precious Annabeth!" Percy yelled at the big house.

The demigods all came rushing out.

"Come and find me if you want her back!"

He flew off into the night on Blackjack, Annabeth resting limply on the back of the horse.
