Annabeth stopped at a tree, panting. She climbed up the branches and sat down on a thick branch. She could hear Percy in a distance.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" Percy yelled, clearly angry. "COME OUT, COWARD!"

Annabeth's tears streamed down her cheeks. She cried quietly. Percy must've heard her sobbing, because she could hear his footsteps heading towards her. Annabeth closed her eyes. She would die, at the hands of her own love. She had to think. Percy came into the clearing, yelling like a maniac.

"COME OUT NOW!" Percy screamed. Breathing deeply, Annabeth jumped onto Percy from the tree.Thump! WACK! Annabeth had knocked Percy forest was filled with pleasant quiet.

"Percy you're not the brightest apple in the tree, are you?"Annabeth said.

She dragged the unconscious and limp Percy up the hill to where Blackjack was tied up.

"Blackjack,please help me save Percy!"

Blackjack whinnied impatiently as if saying, Hey, what took you so damn long?

She rode onto Blackjack, this time Percy unconscious on the back. She took off back to Camp Half-Blood.
