Hi guys, This is the last ever chapter, chapter 9. I got a few kind reviews. I am wrapping everything up and then ending it this chapter.
Don't own anything I promise.
Love you all enjoy the chapter:
Annabeth's POV
My mom smiled and took my hand, helping me to stand.
"Annabeth, come with me please. I am super proud of you you will never know how proud I am of you..." She said staring into my eyes.
I smile back, "Mom, I am proud to be your daughter."
She chuckles and says goodbye to my father and we walk outside. She starts talking and saying I was her first child to actually get the Athena Parthenos. I killed Arachne twice and I have proved myself very worthy. When I ask where she is taking me she just smiles and says, "Oh you'll see, just a little reward for your hard work."
We walked for a long time and the sun went down. We walked in the dark. We walked till the sun rose. Then she finally grumbled, "I am tired of walking, lets just teleport."
Percy's POV:
I opened my eyes and saw a bright light. I heard one of those cheesy cartoon voices in my head that said, "NO! DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT!"
I didn't listen.
I walked in and seen Uncle Hades.
"Perseus. Well, didn't expect to see you here, why are you here?" He asks turning around.
I look down and examine my body. I was wearing exactly what I had worn at the infirmary, A Camp Half Blood tee shirt and jeans. I look back up at him and say, "I think I died... But I'm not sure."
Hades smirks and snaps his fingers. My dad appears, facing the opposite direction, "What Hades? I was fishing!"
Hades points behind him, at me.
Poseidon turns around and yelps in surprise, "Percy? What are you doing here?!"
"Uh I don't know I kind of just woke up here, I think-I think I died." I say looking down. Poseidon turns around and glares at Hades, "Did you find Annabeth, cause uh... someone should tell her."
"Dad, you said find Annabeth, is she missing?" I ask whipping my head up. Will wouldn't tell me and then I unexpectedly died.
"Um... No... Athena just said she was... Um swallowedbygaeaintothegroundtonooneknowswhere." My dad mumbles that last part averting my gaze.
"Um, Swallowed by Gaea into the ground to no one knows where? Is that what you said dad?" The wordsw poured from my mouth and I didn't even realize what I had said until about 30 seconds after I said it.
A tear trickles down my cheek. My dad remains silent and Hades' smile disappears.
"Dad, is that what you said?" I ask hoping he is going to say, 'No.'
"Yeah, yeah that's what I said." Poseidon says looking into my eyes, which are now filled with tears.
"Did anyone find her y..." The question died in my throat. I knew the answer, they wouldn't be looking for her if she was already found.
I lowered my head. A tear falls and hits the ground.
"It wasn't good enough, I nearly died, she got captured, I saved her, then got captured, then finally got back to her, I die, and then she gets captured again. What was the point."
A door burst open behind me but I don't even bother to lift my head.
I hear a gasp and footsteps running towards me. I feel arms wrap around me and a kiss planted on my cheek as tears fall on my shoulder.
"Annabeth?" I whisper turning to see her beautiful blond hair on my shoulder. The top of my shoulder was soaked with tears and Annabeth was determined not to let go of me, even when her mother said, "Annabeth, he can't stay." That only seemed to make her want to stay attached to me.
When she finally let go she smiled at me and then punched my gut.
"Perseus Jackson if you ever die on me again I will officially..."
"Kill me yourself?" I offered knowing what she was going to say.
"No, I will officially break up with you, that is worse." She says through tears.
"Gasp!" I say dramatically, "What would I do if you did that?"
She hugs me again and her mom says, "Annabeth, we have to go, he has to die. I am sorry."
Annabeth hangs her head and Nico burst into the room.
What is it with everyone bursting into the room, like what the heck!
"Wait! Dad can't Percy given a second chance at life." Nico says hopefully to Hades.
A smile twitches at the corner of Hades' lips as he says, "And why, my son, does he deserve another chance at life? Hmm?"
Nico gulps before saying, "He went through Tartarus to help you guys, I honestly think everyone on the Argo II deserves a second chance at life if they die. They ricked their lives to help you guys once again. Percy denied Immortality the first time, I think you guys should let him live, he is the savior of Olympus times two, let him live."
Hades smiles this time. A real actual smile. He nods and says, "But Gaea is Alive, how did that help us?"
Nico bows his head, but not in defeat, in sadness, "Leo just killed her, and took his life along with it."
Annabeth whips her head around and so do I.
"She's gone?" Annabeth whispers.
I pull her into a better hug as Nico continues, "The crew of the Argo II fought bravely and kept almost everyone alive, I think they deserve something in return."
Hades claps his hands and all 12 Olympians appear (well except for the ones already here...)
Hades explains to Zeus the situation and Zeus grumbles, "Alright all in Favor of Perseus Jackson living."
Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hades, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Athena raise their hands.
"All oppose?" He booms raising his hand. Ares, Hermes, and Demeter raise their hands along with him.
"Well Perseus Jackson you get to live. DISMISSED." They all disappear and go their separate ways. Except for Athena and well Hades because this was his palace.
Athena walks over to Annabeth who rushes forward and hugs her.
"Mom, you wanted Percy to live. Thank you." Athena smiles and whispers something into Annabeth's ear. It made her smile.
Athena smiles at me and then snaps her fingers making us transport back to camp. Annabeth jumps forward wrapping her arms around me and kissing my lips. I hug her back and when she pulls apart we hold hands walking back into camp.
"We walked in around Lunch, That is extremely weird cause that means I died the day before. I shuttered thinking about it.
I heard and seen multiple plates hit the floor and shatter.
Will's mouth hung open as soon as he seen me.
Nico smiled to himself, knowing how I was there.
Jason recovered from his shock and ran over to give me a bear hug. Piper tried to charm speak me so she can find out why I was alive. Multiple people Questioned Annabeth, as to where she went, how she got back, who she seen while she was there...etc.
After the mob died down we had the camp fire. We sang a bunch of songs and everybody asked us questions and I honestly don't remember most of it.
Annabeth and I walked back to my cabin and then after we got warm clothes we walked down to the water. I officially proposed to her. We had the wedding soon there after. I will always love my Wise girl, forever and ever.
~Seaweed brain."
Annabeth closed the book as a tear fell down her face. Percy had left her and her children almost 50 books of every adventure. He enchanted them so you could read them on your own or his voice, which was pre-recorded could read it too you.
Percy died on her a second time. They had Twin daughters, who were 8 at the time, and a little baby boy, who was a little over one.
I can still see him clear as day, with his little smirk giving me a kiss, he knew he wasn't coming back from this quest. He kissed my cheek and then my lips. He kissed my collar bone and he went up and down my neck until a knock at the door.
It was our 8 year old daughters.
Percy grumbled and whispered in my ear, "There is a box behind a painting in my cabin, If I don't come back, open it."
I nodded through tears and handed him a picture. I had two copies made just in case he survived and got amnesia again. It was a family photo, At the time I wasn't sure if it was the last one we would ever have, but I made him take it anyway.
Then I got a picture of each of us on our own and handed him one of each, with the names on the back and their relation to him. (after what happened with Hera I wasn't taking any chances.) He put them in his pockets as our eight year old daughters begged for a story before he left. He told the one about Bob the peaceful, helpful titan.
They fell asleep during the story and he kissed them both goodbye. I stood up and hugged him tightly, "Percy, you're not coming back are you?" I ask, trying not to cry.
Percy sighed and smirked giving me one long, last kiss before saying, "I never was good at following rules or fate so... We'll find out... I love you my Wise Girl."
"Love you too Seaweed Brain." I said, my voice cracking.
A few weeks later his body appeared at the shore of Camp Half Blood. He was washed up by the waves. I was the first one to see him. I screamed and ran down tears flying from my eyes. Percy had gashes all over him and his limbs were all broken. His lips were blue and his body was cold. I kissed his lips, even though he was gone. I hugged him tightly as Nico, Will, Jason and the other Argo II members ran down (excluding Piper). My daughters and were supposed to meet me their with 'Aunt' Piper. I didn't want them to see his lifeless body.
Jason ran off to tell her to stay away. Frank ran to my baby boy who was sitting in a rocker by a tree where I was originally sitting.
Hazel hugged me and whispered encouraging words in my ear. a note was clenched in his fists that I couldn't bear to read at the time. A day or two later I read it and cried even more. He wrote:
Annabeth, my darling, I am writing this because I know what is going to happen. Partly because I was told by accident and partly because I am in the process of dying right now. I want you to know that I love you and I will always love you and I will never leave you. I will not be reborn until I have seen you at least once in the underworld. We will live together down there until Hades grants us the right to be reborn together so we can see each other in another life. He did promise me that. I love you Annabeth don't ever forget it. Just close your eyes right now and think of everything good.
He skipped a few lines obviously waiting for me to think.
Did you think of all of those times yet? Okay one more thing. Every time you look into to the mirror say, "Seaweed Brain loves me and I will never forget it."
Now thank Aphrodite for me, she let me live this long to write this to you. I love you Annabeth. I love you Wise girl. I love you my one and only wife. Tell my girls and my little boy that I love them too.
I stayed in Percy's cabin for weeks, When my little girls found out,(Lily and Jenny) they wouldn't leave my side for almost a year. But every year on the Anniversary of when we found him they wouldn't leave my side either. They say it is to comfort me and I still believe it, even if other campers say it isn't true.
When my little boy, Luke, turned 5 he kept asking about his daddy. We told him stories that always ended with me in tears because I wished times were that way again. Now 8 Luke won't leave my side either. Lily and Jenny watch him for me when I go out but as soon as I get home he grabs my hand and says, "I am here mommy. Don't be sad."
One of my fifteen year old daughters got a boyfriend. (Jenny is now dating a boy named Anthony.) She said when she was on a date with him and they had their first kiss she heard a voice say, "Take care of my daughter, like I never could." Anthony didn't hear it but she did. She didn't cry until she got home. She told me it was his voice. She said she heard it and no matter what anyone says she will always believe her dad is constantly watching over her.
I believe it too. Because to this day whenever I look in the mirror I say, "Seaweed Brain loves me and I will never forget it."
Sometimes I even say it more than once, just to make myself believe it.
So how was the ending. I actually cried, like full on cried while writing this. I posted a new story and a new like three shot. Come read them sometime. I might end up doing a story later on where Annabeth dies and gets reunited with Percy in the Underworld. I might depending on how many reviews I get on this. :)
Goodbye for the last time. :) I love you all so much thank you for the support for this. It was fun to write and everything. BYE!
