What's up my dudes? Sorry it's been so long, my activities of late have been terrible and I have not had the chance to get any copy of the lightning thief, so I'll try to go by memory. However I have lost my mojo for this particular idea, so I am putting the idea out there for you wonderful writers, you can use the story as a basis for your own works.

Keep Serene Calm.

I ditched Grover, again.

I took the taxi to my apartment, trying to hold in the anger of having to see Smelly Gabe again. I am, or rather will be so happy to know that he will be the reason why my mom can begin her books. Her first two were a bit weak, but the ones after that were... inspired by Annabeth's death. I walked into the apartment, and saw Smelly Gabe , even more grotesque in person than memory.

"Got any money?" he asked.

"Yeah," I dug it out of my pockets and handed it to him, "Hope I'm not interrupting."

He said nothing and continued playing poker, I walked back to my room and sat on the bed. I had a few moments before mom came so I might as well pack for the trip to Montauk. I threw in a few shirts and a couple pairs of pants, before my thoughts went back to that day.

**Flashback**

We were observing the construction of the Expansion. A project that Annabeth and Chiron were working on. It went deeper into the forest, almost to the Mermeke den and the Grove of Dodona. It was mainly a huge building that served as our main temple to all of the gods, Jason had already compiled a list for Annabeth to peruse. It was almost perfect, all the campers were outside doing some form of physical activity, the strawberries were baking in the sun, and Annabeth was looking over her plans for the shrine to Kymopoleia.

I turned my head for a second, to look at the Big House and Half-Blood Hill, when a blood-curdling scream erupted from the Expansion and bounced off of the lake, the climbing wall, and the Hill. I immediately knew who could make a sound like that, a sound that signified someone dying. I turned my head to see a pile of dust that was the Minotaur, with my own sword sticking out of him. Later people would tell me that I threw Riptide over fifty yards and nailed him right in the gut, but I didn't care if it was one yard or five hundred, because by the time that I managed to run to Annabeth, to hold her in my arms one last time... she had already past on...

For the next year I was inconsolable. I almost flooded the camp in rage, and by the end of the day I had purged the woods of every monster that I could see. Nothing seemed to harm me and my very presence seemed to weaken them. I went to Olympus and asked Zeus to bring Annabeth back, actually I ordered him to bring her back but he just shook his head and had Apollo and Hermes escort me to the Underworld to try and see her. I scoured Elysium, but I couldn't find her. She had already chose to be reborn in a new life

I tried my best to live a life without her. I did solo quests, hunted monsters with the Hunt, even rescued demigods. But no matter how hard I tried to forget... I never could. After a year I was back in the underworld, looking at the pit wich would take me down to Tatarus. I stood so close that I should have been dragged in, but if I was honest I was going to jump in anyway. There were so many enemies down there: the Minotaur, the Hydra, Kronos... KRONOS!

My mind raced as I remembered how the Titan in the body of my friend slowed down time as if it was a toy, or even a pet. For once in over three hundred and sixty-five days, I had hope of seeing Annabeth again. And so, right then and there, I made a vow to myself. I would go back in time and change it, Annabeth would live. Everyone will live! And if any monster, Demigod, Titan, god, or prophecy tried to stand in my way... I would show no mercy.

**End Flashback**

I came to with my head in my mom's lap, her hand running through my hair.

"Percy, are you okay?" She asked in a concerned voice.

"Just tired mom."
