You guys! Today is my birthday! Yay! That's right, November 13th is my birthday. And if you were wondering, yes I have had a birthday on Friday the 13th. It was in grade 4 or 3 I think. And I just had to update. So please review, that'd be a great gift for you guys. Although, I hate it when certain authors say thing like, 'Im not gonna update till I get 15 reviews.' I don't think that's fair to you guys. Review if you want to.

Disclaimer: Is Rick Riordan's birthday on November 13th? I didn't think so, therefore, I am not him.

Annabeth bit her lip as she looked turned her head to Chiron. Just as he began to turn his head, Annabeth looked away. Finally, Annabeth couldn't take it anymore.

"Chiron, Percy, Bianca and Nico went in there and I heard screaming and I need you to go get them or something because-"

"I'll get them," a voice interrupts. Annabeth turns around to be face to face with

"Luke." Annabeth bites her lip. How real was that dream or vision or whatever it was. Luke had tried to kill Percy last year and now he was back offering to help him? Could she trust him? Annabeth hoped she wasn't blushing, "O-okay."

Luke was ten now that his birthday had passed three weeks ago. He was tall and had perfect blonde hair and blue eyes. Luke nods at her once before opening the Athena cabin door.

"Wait!" Annabeth squeaked. "I'll come with you!" What was she doing? There would be spiders everywhere-unless Percy and the others had killed them all.

Luke nods again before grabbing Annabeth's hand and leading her into the dark cabin. Heat rushed up to Annabeth's cheeks. He was holding her hand. Luke let go of her hand within the blink of an eye and felt the walls.

"Where's the light switch?"

"I got it!" Annabeth replied flicking the switch beside the first set of bunk beds. The lights turned on immediately. "No spiders!"

Luke glanced at the floor. It was blank.

Luke looked around, "no people either."

"Inconceivable! That's not possible!" Annabeth yelled. She saw it with her own eyes. They walked in, now they were gone. "Chiron!"

Chiron peeked his head in through the door along with a bunch of children of Athena behind him.

"No spiders, no Percy, Bianca or Nico!" Annabeth exclaimed. "They've disappeared!"

Everyone made their way past Chiron into the cabin. Chiron stood at the doorway glancing around. The eleven children of Athena scattered, cautiously looking around.

"Did you hear that?" One of the kids ask.

Everyone is silent. Then she heard it-a faint scream. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "C'mon!" She race towards Half-Blood hill-Thalia's tree.

Once they had reached the tree Annabeth immediately looked around. The ground was trembling ever so slightly-like there were people underneath. Annabeth looked around for Luke, but he had disappeared.

"What is everybody looking at?"

Annabeth turned around. "Percy!"

Nico followed Percy and Bianca down the damp hallways. What he didn't understand was how Bianca was perfect at navigating underground and he was just 'above average.' But what he hated most was being compared to Bianca. No one did it often, but once, their trainer at camp had and Nico had opened up a hole in the ground without even realizing it. The only other time he did that was to Percy- don't ask.

Nico was shocked out of his thoughts by a quiet yelp. It always seemed that he'd become unfazed by someone screaming. Bianca, Annabeth, or Percy- his was the girliest at of all.

Bianca looked terrorized as she stared down. She closed her eyes and her breathing unsteadied.

"Bianca," Percy cautiously started slowly. "Just shake them off."

Bianca took a deep breath then simply continued waking. "The spiders aren't worth it." The two boys wandered aimlessly after Bianca for hours.

Percy bit his lip, "I hope this isn't the labyrinth."

"No," the two children of Hades answered together. Percy shivered. That was creepy.

"Are you sure we're not walking in circles? I swear, I saw that rock before," Percy said. Pointing to a dull, gray rock.

"You mean the rock that's identical to every rock here?" Bianca turned left.

"Let Nico take lead," Percy insisted.

"What? No!"

Nico frowned.

"Fine," Bianca sighed.

Nico walked upfront and frowned at the next forked corridor. Bianca groaned under her breath.

"It's none of these ways," his eyes went to slits. "It's down."

"Down?" Percy asked.

"We're upside down. We're on the roof!" Nico exclaimed. "That explains why the caves round at the ground."

"Ever heard of a little thing called gravity?" Bianca asked. "My hair would be floating."

Percy took out the bobby pins holding together her bun. Her hair "fell" up. Suddenly, the cave began to shake. All of the rocks fell up at different rates.

Bianca screamed, "we're gonna fall! We're gonna fall!"

Percy got down on his knees and began to dig a hole.

Bianca and Nico stared at him."What're you doing!" They screeched.

Percy winced. "That's really creepy..." He continued to dig. "You said down! We dig the roof, we go up. Understand?"

Bianca got on her knees. She was about to begin digging but instead, she screamed. Bianca seemingly fell upwards. She clawed at nothing as she fell up.

"Bianca!" The cousins yelled. Why hadn't they fallen?"

'Eh, she didn't believe you at first anyways,' a voice pursed. It was a female voice-very powerful. 'Now she's met her doom!' The voice cackled like that was the funniest thing she had ever heard.

"Give. her. back!" Percy demanded.

'Perseus Jackson! Now is that anyway to talk to your great-grandmother?' She snapped.

Percy looked confused.

Nico was muttering,"gods, then titans, then...then...Kronos's mother was..."

"Earth." Percy whispered, mostly to himself. "And the earth was..."

"A G name. Gertrude?" Nico asked. "Gail? Gwendolyn? Gwen? Uh..."

'You ignorant fools!' The voice cried. 'Have they taught you nothing at that stupid camp?'

Percy shrugs, "they teach, I just don't listen. How do they expect to teach a bunch of hyperactive demigods about something as boring as their grandparents?"

"He's got a point," Nico agreed.

'Would you like to fall too?' The voice threatened.

"If it means finding my cousin, then yes," Percy retorted. "So what's your name again? I mean, Dad Poseidon, Uncle Zeus, Uncle Hades. Grandpa Kronos. What kind of messed up world is that?"

Nico suppresses a smile.

"For crying out loud, a horse is my brother! And earth is my great-grandma?"

Nico made a face. "That's so..."

Percy stared at him. "Weird? Unnatural? Nasty?"

"Disturbing," Nico confirms. He looks up.

'Children!' The earth goddess commanded. 'If you can guess my name, you can have the girl and go. You have five minutes.'

The cousin glance at each other. "If only Annabeth was here," Percy sighed.

Enjoyed? I hope so. Please review. And by the way, Annabeth had a crush on Luke in the books, she'll have a crush on Luke here. But this is Percabeth. Just wait till they get older. (Foreshadowing...I think.) Um, and I think I will wait till Percy is older to start all of the real quests and stuff. Unfortunately for Nico and Bianca they won't be a part of some of those quests. They may not even be there...(now that was foreshadowing.)
