HEY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I ASKED SANTA FOR ONE GIFT AND HE DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ME! I WANTED TO OWN PERCY JACKSON AND EVERY CHARACTER IN IT BUT ALAS RICK RIORDAN DOES.

Annabeth's POV

I try to swim up but it is no use. Air escapes my lungs and Water enters my mouth. I flail and scream hoping someone will hear me but No one comes...

I think of Percy and try to remember all of the times that he made me smile. I want those to be my last thoughts before I die.

Percy's POV

Gaea and her minions tortured me to the point of exhaustion. I passed out and my dream transported me to Clovis, Who smiled sadly and transported me to the lake.

I heard Clarisse yell, "Drop her!" and see Annabeth 'dropped' into the lake.

Clarisse cheers and they all pull the guy who was restraining her away.

I wait by the water, wanting to see Annabeth's face before I wake up.

I wait about 5 seconds and Annabeth doesn't come up.

I dive in the water and she struggles. I look at her hands and feet and find them tied together.

She flails around and tries her hardest to swim up. I want to help her but it is only a dream.

I try to help her by pulling underneath her arms. Surprisingly it works. I honestly have no idea why. Annabeth gasps and reaches for her mouth closing it. She looks around frantically but she can't see me. She looks down and I can tell she is trying to find some way to explain this. I am with her on that one, how on Earth am I doing this?

I see a glimpse of Athena's Face and Poseidon's face to.

My dad whispers to me, "Say something while you pull her up, After she reaches the surface you will no longer be solid. Me and Athena will have to leave your body causing you to be smoke again."

"Athena and I." Athena grumbles, "Use proper English Sea Spawn."

Poseidon ignores her and I take a deep breath and say, "Annabeth, It's okay. I am right here. I am gonna get you to the surface safe and sound okay. You can breathe you are in a bubble you know that right?"

Annabeth takes a shaky breath, "How on Earth are you here Seaweed Brain? How come I can't see you?"

I see the surface close by, Wow the current took her out really far. "Annabeth, as soon as I reach the surface and you are there I have to leave. Poseidon and Athena are helping me to lift you to the surface. I am in a dream right now... I love you."

"I love you too Seaweed Brain... I have to tell you Something just in case I dont save y..."

I shove my lips onto hers but we break to the surface in the middle of the kiss. She reaches out for me as Athena leaves my body. Poseidon stays for as long as he can but It doesn't matter I start to wake up and hear Annabeth Say, "No Percy don't leave me! Please! I love you! I wanted to tell you I found the ring!"

I see tears stream down her face and she drops to her knees holding her hand out so I can see the engagement ring.

I wake up whispering, "I love you too..."

Reyna is next to me. She has torture marks on her arms and all over her face.

She looks around worriedly and slips her hands out of her chains. She reaches inside of her cloak and unlocks my chains. She smiles and hands me a pen. RIPTIDE! I hug the pen and she chuckles. We hear footsteps outside of the door and she jumps throwing my chains back on and locking them. She slips hers on too and hides the key and my pen in a crack in the wall.

Gaea slides in and laughs. She pulls my chains and leads me out of the room. She takes me to the torture room and says, "I will break you young hero. I will kill you. I told you that when you died it would be much more painful than gorgons blood, Now I am promising you that you will die from something more painful than gorgons blood. And I never break promises."

I growl at her and say, "Sorry, I can only speak through my legal team. And their number one rule is: NEVER EVER LET GAEA MAKE A PROMISE TO YOU. And I don't want to break my legal team's advice."

Gaea cackles, "LADIES! PERCY JACKSON IS HERE AND IT IS TORTURE TIME."

Thousands of monsters waltz into the room and they all flutter their eyelashes at me.

Gaea laughs again and says, "Have a nice Hour Jackson."

The door slams and they all rush towards me.

Annabeth's POV:

Percy kissed me, I couldn't see him but I felt his lips against mine. I felt him lift me to the surface, I heard him tell me everything was OK.

I yelled "No Percy don't leave me! Please! I love you!"

Tears stream down my face and I drop to my knees.

Clarisse comes running up with Will and a stretcher.

"Gods kid how did you get out of the water when your hands and feet were tied together?" She asks staring at me.

"No thanks to you." I grumble, my sadness turning into anger.

"Um your welcome, you would be with Gaea right now if I hadn't saved you." She growled back.

"Yeah well I almost died thanks to you!" I yell standing up.

"Well how did little Miss Princess save herself than? Huh?" She says yelling back.

"Well lets see, why don't you go ask Percy!" I scream. A few cabins turn their lights on and Malcom opens the door and decides to run down to us.

"Percy's with Gaea you idiot! How could he save you!" She screamed even louder.

"I have no idea, but I am here aren't I?! My hands and feet are still bound together and I was breathing under water and I heard Percy talk to me and He kissed me. Explain that!"

Clarisse shut her mouth and stormed off. Will shakes his head and says, "Annabeth the only way Percy could be here is through a dream and He can't save you in a dream..."

"He was in a dream... He said Poseidon and Athena were helping him help me... I don't know Will... I have to go..." I run to Percy's cabin and grab a backpack that is under his bed.

Thalia comes up behind me and says, "You are not leaving without me are you?"

I shake my head no and she smiles as I grab out a backpack for her.

I whistle for Mrs. O'Leary and we both hop on. I whisper my destination and we travel there through the shadows.

WELL I KNOW THAT WAS SHORTER THAN USUAL BUT IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE AND I WANTED TO SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY... SOOOOOOO REVIEW AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS!
