Hello! So, I know I made some mistakes in the last chapter. Thanks to everyone who pointed those out, especially The Lone Clapper. Lol, descend upwards doesn't make sense. Also, THIS CHAPTER WAS 9,170 (NOT INCLUDING A/N) FREAKING WORDS! IT WAS 27 PAGES IN MICROSOFT WORD(Not including A/N) AND MY FONT WAS ONLY 14! Lots of action ensues. I'm so sorry about the late update. I wanted to have this up by yesterday, but it took me over 9 hours to write. Yea, I started it at 5:00 PM yesterday and stopped at 11:30 PM. Then I started writing where I left off at 6:00 PM today, and finished at 9:40 PM. I know I said I would've had the chapter up at 8:00 PM Eastern time, but I can't help it! Also, I'm NOT proofreading this. I don't want you guys to wait longer for this update, so excuse me for all the grammatically incorrect errors.

So, I was asked to advertise wamakima5004's wonderful Greek website! It's really cool! There's quizzes and information about the gods! Just go to .nl/greek. In case that didn't show up, it's: go. ishweb .nl / greek (NO SPACES!).

To Anonymous and Eagleyes111: Your characters are in this chapter! I'm sorry in advance if I portrayed them wrong.

So, a while back, I put up a poll. I asked if Jason should stay at Camp Half-Blood or go to Camp Legion. The winner was to stay at Camp Half-Blood by a long shot! I'm going to take the poll down soon.

Thanks to Capollo4Ever for giving me a website where I could find different types of monsters! I used some in this chapter.

Also, happy early birthday to my friend Sarah! Her birthday is tomorrow, on Halloween! Which reminds me… If you celebrate Halloween, what costume are you wearing? I'm going with my friend Sarah (The same one that has a b-day tomorrow). She's going to be a bumble bee while I'm going to be a lady bug. Lame, I know, lol! I was forced against my will. O.o

The Last Chapter, the beloved 48th one is titled: It All Comes to An End

Annabeth's POV

We all rushed in the elevator. Thank the gods it came before the Cyclops got us. But something was still bothering me. It seemed that the man dressed in black stopped the Cyclops. Why would he stop them if he wanted to kill us?

However, I don't have time to ponder that. Everyone gathered in the elevator. Leo was the last one in. Percy gently set Jason on the floor in a sitting position. A small groan escaped his dry cracked lips. Thalia and Piper quickly rushed to his aid, crouching down next to him.

I looked around the elevator as the doors closed. The walls were made of stainless steel while the floor looked to be made of three stone types. It doesn't really match the walls, but who says elevators have to have matching walls and floors?

I checked for some kind of panel with buttons on it. This elevator seemed to be missing that significant factor. There were only doors, walls, and a floor. What kind of elevator doesn't have a panel with all the buttons to each floor?

All of a sudden, the elevator jolted, knocking everybody to the floor. You could hear the horrifying cries that came out of Jason's mouth. He must be in bad shape.

I grasped for something to hold on to. I sighed in relief when the elevator was done jolting.
Or so I thought. The room seemed to be shooting upwards at an immense speed. The pressure, once again, knocked everyone to the floor.

"What's happening?" Thalia gasped. I glanced at Percy. His nose was bleeding. On the first jolt a few moments ago, he fell head first on the floor. I watched as he gently wiped the blood off with the sleeve of his shirt.

"I don't know," Leo answered Thalia's question. Thalia and Piper held onto Jason as if their lives depended on it. I inwardly sighed. If only I had someone to hold on to.

Anyway, I shouldn't be worrying about that right now while I'm in a life-or-death situation. The speed of the elevator was increasing each waking second. What could be done to prevent the elevator from going out of control?

It seems the others were thinking the same thing as me. We knew were stuck in here, and there was nothing we could do about it.

I scraped my fingers along the hard stone floor. Where could this elevator be going?

"Wait," I murmured to myself. "We were underground at first. What if the elevator is taking us to Earth's surface again?"

Oh how I longed to breathe the fresh air again. I don't even care about the cold weather, I've been cramped up underground for quite some time.

I find the same unanswered questions make its way through my mind. Why would the mysterious man let us go so easily? Why would he make the elevator take us back to the surface of the Earth, if he wanted us to suffer?

"Guys," Percy spoke up. "Do you feel that?"

I waited a few moments. I felt the gradual decrease of speed. That meant that we're slowing down!

"We're stopping!" Leo said, grinning. "Finally. I was getting motion sickness." Everybody managed to crack a smile at that one.

"Bad," Jason's weak voice mumbled. Piper and Thalia shot their attention back to Jason.

"What? What does he mean?" I could barely make out the word's Thalia and Piper are saying. They were talking over each other, and while they were doing so, Jason slipped into an unconscious state. Thalia held his hand tightly.

After a few minutes, the elevator came to a stop. We all waited eagerly for the doors to open, revealing where we were. The suspense is killing me. I was just about ready to rip the doors open, but fortunately, I didn't have to.

With a ding, the doors opened. And let me tell you, the sight was not pretty.

In front of me was Camp Half-Blood. Chaos was everywhere. Greek fire surrounded buildings. People were on the floor, unconscious. At least I hope they are unconscious. Screams and cries were heard, and monsters were battling demigods.

How could this be? Why would the man dressed in black send us here so easily? It's almost as if he wanted us to come back to Camp Half-blood, like he felt we were doomed either way. He wanted us to witness the pain and strained cries of our fellow campers.

I immediately sprung into action, jumping out of the elevator. "Percy, bring Jason to the infirmary. Piper, find Chiron and fill him in on what's happened so far. Leo, bring as many wounded people as you can to the infirmary." Thalia glanced at me. I knew she wanted to fight by my side. "When you're all done, you can spring into action and start fighting." Everybody nodded and went to do what they were told.

"Shall we?" I asked Thalia.

She nodded. "Let's go."

I ran towards the battle, Thalia by my side. A hellhound immediately charged at us. I staggered back when it slashed its claws towards my face. While I distracted the hellhound by pretending to throw my dagger at it, Thalia snuck behind the hellhound. She shot an arrow right into its back. The hellhound screamed a cry of pain, whirling around to face Thalia. It attempted biting Thalia's head off. Thalia bent backward quickly, then assumed a fighting position. Before the hellhound even had time to dodge, Thalia sent a silver arrow plummeting into its face. The hellhound poofed into a pile of yellow dust.

"Nice," I told Thalia.

She just shrugged and smiled. All to quickly, though, her smile turned into a frown. "Annabeth, watch out!" I turned around, just in time to feel the sharp pain of nails in my shoulder. I was tackled to the ground, my pursuer on top of me. Thalia quickly shot a silver arrow into my attacker's flesh. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. The monster continued to attempt to kill me, jabbing its claws this way and that. I've managed to avoid further damage so far. I strained my eyes to find Thalia in the crowd of people fighting monsters. I couldn't find her. Had she left me to die here?

No. Stop thinking like that, I scolded myself. Thalia would never do that. She probably got caught up in another fight and had to do something. Besides, if I can't defeat this monster, I won't be able to defeat bigger threats, like Gaea. I'll feel like a total fail.

I stabbed my knife in the monster's stomach. The monster staggered back a little. This gave me enough time to escape from the monster's grip to get a closer look at it.

The monster looks beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. I feel really ticked off. I don't recognize this monster. I mean, I know just about every monster there is to know about!

I clenched my fists and ran towards the monster with all my remaining strength. I will not lose a battle to this piece of scum.

I slammed my knife in the direction of the monster's bright yellow eye. The monster flew up in the air. I watch in awe. How can it hold all that weight?

Eventually, the monster flew back down. I charged once again, giving it no time to parry my attack. I struck my knife towards the monster's wing this time. I managed to slice a little of its skin off, drawing dark red blood. The monster cawed like an eagle and charged at me. This caught me off guard. The monster, once again, pinned me down. I watched as its razor-sharp beak was ready to impale itself in my face. The monster tormented me, lowering its beak in slow-mo.

But all of a sudden, the monster stopped short, a horrifying cry coming from its mouth. I looked just in time to see the tip of a gold sword peeking out from the monster's lion-like stomach. The monster fell over and, after a few minutes, transformed into a pile of dust, leaving the gold sword on the ground. I looked up at my savior. A boy that looked about 13-ish (Give or take a few years) was hovering in the air with winged shoes. He dropped to the ground and walked towards me. I scrambled to my feet. He had brown hair and brown eyes. The boy extended his arm out saying, "The name's Jack Owens, son of Mercury." I stared at his hand. There were Romans here too? Maybe that's where Lauryn, Reyna, and Brandon disappeared to. Jack chuckled, shaking his head. "I don't bite." His mischievous eyes seemed to twinkle. He reminds me of a younger version of the Stoll brothers. Jack dropped his hand back to his side. "That monster that just tackled you was a Griffin. They have the head and wings of an eagle, but the body of a lion. Very dangerous."

A Griffin, huh? Interesting. Well what kind of monster isn't dangerous? "You know I'm Greek, right?" I blurted out, but instantly regretted it. What if he didn't know I was Greek and now wants to attack me? What in Hades have I gotten myself into?

Jack, once again, chuckled. I decided that that's really getting annoying. I feel that someone shouldn't be chuckling now, given the circumstances. "I know. It doesn't faze me." My eyes were probably as big as saucers. A Roman that doesn't care that I'm Greek? Well that's definitely a first. This guy seems nice enough, anyways.

"Well…thanks for saving me," I said in a hoarse voice. He nodded.

"Anytime. Now, if you excuse me, I've got some butt whooping to do." A small smile played on Jack's lips as he walked away to join another fight. He definitely doesn't seem like Roman material. First of all, he's nice, and likes Greeks.

I smiled. Finally, a Roman who doesn't resent the Greeks. If only all of them didn't.

I ran off into the battle, determined to find Thalia. I passed bloody bodies and piles of yellow dust. One thought coursed through my head: Was she okay?

Eventually, I found her. She was battling three hellhounds, but managed to defeat them all. Mounds of yellow dust surrounded her. She was panting. Then her eyes met my eyes, and she grinned a huge grin. "Annabeth!" She ran to me and hugged me tight.

"You're okay, thank goodness!" I told her.

"Right back at you," Thalia said. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on, let's go defeat some monsters."

And that's just what we did. We fought with all our might—stabbing, evading, doing anything we could. I still don't fully understand what's going on. But I do know that we needed to defeat these monsters, even if our lives depended on it. Everyone else did it. Everyone else endured the pain and danger of risking their lives every moment just for Camp Half-Blood and all its members.

And it wouldn't be fair to make them do it alone.

That's the plus side about being Greek-we're there for each other through thick and thin. We help each other out and never leave another person to fend for themselves.

Thalia and I just finished defeating a few Telkhines. We had a few bruises and a couple scrapes, but other than that, we were in good shape.

I was ready to join another fight, when I ran into my half-sister, Mia Ripcurrent. It was ironic that she had a last name related to water, when Mom hates Poseidon.

Mia's black hair blew back in the wind, her intense gray eyes (A/N: Hope you don't mind, Anonymous, that I changed her eyes to gray since she's now a daughter of Athena) twinkling dangerously in the sunlight. She was wearing a casual blue tank top and jeans. She's a little younger than me at age 15.

Mia was battling a Hippalektryon. A Hippalektryon is a beast with the foreparts of a horse and the tail, wings, and hind-legs of a rooster. I know this creature well because it only occurs in early Athenian vase painting, and may be based on an early artistic rendering of the winged horse Pegasos. But if this monster only occurs on vase painting, then why is it standing before Mia?

I watched as Mia stabbed the Hippa (let's call it Hippa for short.) in the side. The monster evaded her attack and attempted at knocking Mia's sword out of her hand. The monster moved very awkwardly as if it was in pain. Mia must've damaged its leg earlier.

The Hippa lunged at Mia. She smiled as if she were expecting that to happen. While the monster was in mid-air, she threw the sword at its face. The monster turned into a pile of yellow dust. Mia was panting hard. She hadn't noticed me yet. I slowly began to clap. Mia turned around. He eyes lit up when she saw me. "Annabeth! You're back!" I walked closer to her.

"Yea. It was a long journey, but we managed to find Jason." I motioned around the camp. "What's going on here?"

Mia's smile faltered and her eyes darkened. They looked like a hurricane on a stormy night. She began, "Gaea attacked Camp Half-Blood yesterday morning. Chiron summoned Lupa, the head of Camp Legion, and she brought the Roman camp with her. The Romans were focused on killing us Greeks first, but then they managed to drift away from each other and fight in the battle with Gaea. Gaea hasn't showed up yet, no one knows where she is. We've tried our best to get the wounded to the infirmary." Mia's face saddened. She looks down. "Caden's in the infirmary." Caden….oh, Caden! Mia's best friend. Everyone thought that she was into the son of Hermes, but she always denied it when people accused her of liking him. He would always prank her and she'd always get mad. It was kinda like how Travis and Katie started out. Boys do have a weird way of showing their affection. A lone tear slipped down Mia's face. She quickly wiped it away and looked up. Her eyes stare into mine. I could tell she felt vulnerable because of the fact that she just cried in front of me.

I just smiled at her. "He'll be okay. If I know him, he's a strong fighter. There's nothing to worry about." Mia looked hopeful. She smiled at me.

"Thanks, Annabeth." Then she walked away, ready to help others out with their battles.

"Come on Thalia, let's go finish our job," I said. I had forgotten Thalia was there for the past few moments, she was just watching me the whole time. I began walking closer to another battle, Thalia behind me.

We helped other people with their battles. Monsters and demigods were being wiped out every few minutes. The battle was close. There's no guaranteeing who will win yet, we haven't seen Gaea's power. I wish she would just reveal herself.

As I fought the monsters, I wondered where Leo, Piper, and Percy went. Did Leo manage to get the wounded and are the other's okay? I can only hope. It seems that you can only hope, pray, or wish during these times.

"Look out, Thalia," I warned Thalia as a monster charged at her. She shot a silver arrow right through its neck. The monster was down within a few seconds. How pathetic.

That's what the next hour consisted of, us defeating monsters with each other. By the end of the hour, we were bloody and bruised up. Most of the monster's on Gaea's side were wiped out and many demigods are still being rushed to the infirmary. Apollo's children are rushing around, collecting the wounded and dead.

I stabbed a monster that came rushing towards me. Thalia assisted me. This one was hard to put up with, but we cornered it. It couldn't move or fly. We killed it after a few minutes.

I rested my hands on my knees, catching my breath. A burning sensation coursed through my lungs and adrenaline coursed through my veins. This was what us demigods were born to do, with our reflexes godly blood.

"Annabeth," Thalia said. "I'm going to check on Jason in the infirmary. I'll only be a second. Think you can handle these monsters on your own?" I understand how Thalia would want to check on Jason. Earlier, a monster had broken into the infirmary. Luckily, Chiron killed it before it could injure anyone.

"Yea, don't worry about me, I'll be fine," I told her. She smiled gratefully and ran off. I walked in a different direction towards a building in ashes. It looked like a big fight with a monster and a person was going on there.

Getting a closer look, I found out that it was indeed just that. A person and a monster fighting. They were both very strong and equal in strength. Maybe if I helped the person, we could overpower the monster and succeed in killing it.

I ran up to the monster, plunging my knife into its side. It didn't see that coming, for sure. However, the monster didn't drop dead, and I certainly didn't expect it to. The monster was a Eurynomos. One of the weaker ones, of course. A Eurynomos is the spirit of rotting corpses, who stripped the flesh from the bones of the dead. He's probably connected with the creatures which fed on corpses such as flies, maggots, and vultures. He is depicted with black-blue skin and wears a vulture's-hide cloak.

"Annabeth?" a voice asks. I whirl to me right. Standing there was the person who was fighting the monster.

Standing next to me is Percy Jackson.

"Percy," I acknowledge him. "So you made it out safe, huh?" I ask, raising my eyebrow.

"What do you expect? I'm just that awesome," Percy says cockily with a grin. His grin soon turns back into a scowl when he looks at the Eurynomos. The Eurynomos is ready to attack. It charges right at us. Percy slashes at its legs. The monster evades the attack, analyzing Percy's every move. I decide now would be a good time to join him. I charge at the monster and throw my knife in its side. With a sickening crunch, my knife sticks deep in the monster's side. With no mercy, I pull the knife out and continue to stab whatever black-ish blue-ish skin remains. The monster is howling while Percy slashes at its face.

The monster tries to push us out of the way, but it's just too weak to continue. We've done enough damage to kill it. And sure enough, it poofed into a pile of yellow dust.

Percy glanced at me. "Thanks. This guy was really giving me trouble." I shrugged.

"It was no big deal. We're supposed to help each other out, anyways," I said, looking Percy deep in the eyes. Please remember me.

Percy looked a little uncomfortable. He was tapping his foot with his hand in his pockets.

"Well, I guess I should take off now. Someone out there is probably battling a monster and needs help," I said.

Percy looked me in the eye. "I'll come with you." I stared at him, confused. His cheeks reddened and he added, "For safety purposes." I shrugged.

"Sure, you can come." I was ecstatic on the inside.

I led Percy to another battle near the Big House. Three campers vs a giant Chimera. Percy summoned water and pelted water balls at the fire-y monster. While it was distracted, I attacked. The monster saw it coming and slashed at me. I blocked the attack with my dagger and cut deep into the monster's body. Two other demigods and Percy helped me out with the Chimera.

We managed to kill the Chimera off ten agonizing minutes later. It was a nonstop battle. A bead of sweat trailed down my face. I wiped it away.

I looked at my surroundings. The place looked terrible. Burnt buildings, massive water puddles, blood, bodies, and mounds of yellow dust. There was very little monsters and humans left. What can you expect, the battle has been going on for over 30 hours.

I strained my eyes, searching for any monster in sight. I couldn't find one. I could barely even find a demigod around here.

I looked at Percy. He was staring at something intently. "What?" I asked him.

"Down there," he pointed. "You can barely make out the tiniest bit of movement in the forest." I looked deeper into the forest. Percy was right. Something was moving down there.

"Let's go," I said. We discreetly walked closer and closer. Percy didn't have one scratch on him. That was the beauty of the Curse of Achilles. But he'll probably die instantly if he's hit in the small of his back, where his Curse of Achilles spot is. That's the con of the Curse.

We finally reached the tree-filled forest. It was oddly calm and quiet, eerie almost. A bird chirped a happy melody. That really didn't fit the moment.

"Come on," Percy whispered. He took the lead. We walked further and further down the forest, only to find nothing.

"Maybe our eye's were playing tricks on us, and we didn't see anything at all," I told Percy, unsure if we should keep going or turn around. It was getting kinda creepy, even if it still was daytime.

"No, I know I saw something," Percy says.

"What if it was just a leaf falling from a tree?" I asked him.

He turned around to look at me. "It wasn't, you'll just have to trust me on this." I sighed. I'm so tempted to say no, but I don't want to risk anyone else getting hurt if there really is a monster here.

"Fine," I grumbled. Percy smiled proudly and kept walking. He'd occasionally trip on a tree branch (Clumsy Seaweed Brain) or on his own feet, but never stopped. By now, we were pretty deep in the forest.

I was just about to say something, but I felt a hand clamp around my mouth. I screamed, but Percy couldn't hear me. I could barely breath. I wiggled around, but my capturer didn't let go of me. Percy kept on walking ahead. I was dragged behind a fairly large tree. The person jammed some sort of needle in my arm. My movements started to numb and I felt like I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't move, either.

"It'll go away in twenty minutes or so," an unfamiliar voice said, followed by a maniacal laugh.

I sighed. Why does this always happen to me?

Percy's POV

I walked deeper into the forest. I still couldn't find anything.

But I know I saw something.

I'm not going to give up so easily and let this dimwit get away. No, I'll hunt him down. I can't let anyone get hurt.

Not again.

And I'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen.

I continued to walk discreetly. Annabeth finally agreed with me that we should keep searching. She's been quiet since then. I have to give her some credit. She's really discreet. It's like she isn't even there.

0Oo0oO0oO0oO0

Fifteen minutes later, I'm still searching in the forest. I'm beginning to lose hope that I'll find this person. Where could he be? I sighed.

"Annabeth, what do you think we should do? Continue to search or stop and take a break?" I asked Annabeth. She didn't answer. She must be thinking. "Annabeth, this isn't really something you need to think about so long." I waited. "Annabeth?" Afraid of what I'll see, I turn around. But Annabeth wasn't there.

How could I be so stupid as to let that happen? "Annabeth!" I shout at the top of my lungs. I begin to panic. What am I going to do?

I take a deep breath and clench my fists and teeth. I can do this.

Then I run into the forest, determined to find Annabeth.

I push through sagging branches with leaves and check every nook and cranny. I find nothing. But I don't stop there. I walk further into the wooded area. Different plants rub against my legs. I scratch my legs for the hundredth time today. I'm beginning to think I've poison ivy.

That definitely doesn't stop me. I continue. Eventually, I find a trail of blood. I will myself not to think about it, but the thought crosses my mind anyways. Could that be Annabeth's blood? I guess I won't know unless I follow it.

I follow the dark red blood trail. It leads me through twists and turns. I'm beginning to feel lost, until I stop at a large tree to catch my breath.

"Finally, you've come. That took longer than expected," said an unfamiliar voice. I straighten up and whirl around. Standing before me is someone in a black cloak. I can barely see his face, a shadow is blocking it. I couldn't tell if the voice was female or male.

But most importantly, this mysterious person had Annabeth tied up in ropes near them. "Annabeth," I whisper, closing my eyes tight. I can only hope she's okay. I snap my eyes open, my face flushed with anger.

"Don't touch her, or I'll personally kill you myself," I say in a dangerous-sounding deep voice.

"Afraid your little girlfriend's gonna die? Well that's exactly what I plan on doing, of course. Killing her." That strikes me the wrong way. Girlfriend…it sounds so odd when this person says it, but then again, it sounds like it was meant to be.

All of a sudden, I feel a little abnormal. My vision gets fuzzy. Then I feel like I'm getting a faraway look in my eyes.

Well, this hasn't happened for a long time. It's a flashback. It left off where the last one was. The last one was when Annabeth told me she was never going to make things easy for me, then wrapped her arms around me neck and kissed me.

When she kissed me, I had the feeling my brain was melting right through my body.

I could've stayed that way forever, except a voice behind us growled, "Well, it's about time!"

Suddenly the pavilion was filled with torchlight and campers. Clarisse led the way as the eavesdroppers charged and hoisted us both onto their shoulders.

"Oh, come on!" I complained. "Is there no privacy?"

"The lovebirds need to cool off!" Clarisse said with glee.

"The canoe lake!" Connor Stoll shouted.

With a huge cheer, they carried us down the hill, but they kept us close enough to hold hands. Annabeth was laughing, and I couldn't help laughing too, even though my face was completely red.

We held hands right up to the moment they dumped us in the water.

Afterward, I had the last laugh. I made an air bubble at the bottom of the lake. Our friends kept waiting for us to come up, but hey—when you're the son of Poseidon, you don't have to hurry.

And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.

I snapped out of it. No…Annabeth..I can't let that happen. I finally found you…the real you. I remember. Everything we've been through. The pain we've endured, the times you've saved me, the times we used to fight. The times I remember the most with you that held the most meaning. I inwardly smiled. I remember Annabeth. The enemy continues to stare me down. Annabeth's capturer says, "I won't kill her if you do something for me." I gulped. That's when my smile turned into a frown. I scrunched my eyebrows together.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm not even going to ponder that for a second. I'll do whatever he tells me. I can't stand watching Annabeth struggle to get the ropes off of her. I glanced closer at her. Her expression said to not do it. She wanted to take her life for me.

Too bad she didn't have a choice what I was going to do.

I could practically imagine the sly smile on the enemy's face as they said, "Your price to pay for her is your life, Perseus Jackson." So that's what the prophecy meant when it said, 'Where they will have a huge price to pay'. I closed my eyes and, once again, clenched my fists. My eyes were dry and my face was blank. When I opened my eyes, I looked at Annabeth. She wiggled around, shaking her head vigorously, trying to cry out to me. Tears trickled down her face.

Just seeing her like that pained me.

"It's okay, Annabeth," I whispered. I only intended on her hearing that, but I don't care if the enemy heard it. "Everything will turn out okay in the end." I looked back at Annabeth's capturer. Confidently, I said, "I'll do it." I walked closer towards the person. "On one condition."

"Oh? What's that?" the person questioned.

"You have to untie Annabeth and let her go before I do what you tell me."

The enemy snickered under their breath. "No way. There's no telling what you'll do."

"How am I supposed to know what you'll do? Just untie her and you can kill me with your own hands," I negotiated. I know, not the best, but I had a trick up my sleeve.

"Hmm.." the mysterious person said. "Fine. But don't do anything funny." I just nodded. I glanced at Annabeth and gave a small smile and a nod, as if to say, "It's okay."

She just vigorously continued to shake her head as tears rolled down her face.

I'm debating whether I should tell Annabeth that I remember her now, just in case this enemy person actually does take my life.

"You can untie her," the enemy person says. That was too easy. They throw the knife at me. Good thing I caught it before it pierced my heart.

I walked over to Annabeth and crouched down. I began to cut the ropes behind her. While I was doing so, I whispered in her ear, "Take off as soon as I untie you." Unfortunately, Annabeth's pretty dang stubborn. I doubt she'll listen to me. There's no telling what she'll do.

After I finish untying her, she manages to scramble onto her feet. She's walking a little wobbly and stumbling around a little.

This is all my fault. If only I'd kept a closer eye on her.

"Perseus Jackson," the enemy says. "You need to tell me where your Curse of Achilles is. And if you don't, you'll still die." The enemy continues to laugh crazily. What a weirdo.

I walk over to him. "Percy, no!" Annabeth cries out.

The enemy glances at her and says, "Shut up, stupid girl!" Then he walks over to her and slaps her across the face. That was really unnecessary and uncalled for. Annabeth isn't really fazed. She's gone through worse. But still, it pisses me off.

"Hey, you said you'd kill me, not her," I told him, walking closer to the enemy. That's when Annabeth screamed at the top of her lungs. I glanced at her, just to make sure she wasn't hurt. No, she was doing it so somebody could come save us. She continued to scream.

"Why the heck is she screaming?" the enemy asked, struggling to maintain a loud voice over Annabeth's screaming in the background.

I shrugged, pretending I didn't know. "Could be that time of the month. There's no telling what she'll do."

I imagine the enemy's confused face. Now's my time to take action. I walk closer to the person and swing a punch as hard as I can towards their face. I heard a sickening crunch. Ugh.

Annabeth's still screaming.

I tackle the person to the ground. They pull out their knife, attempting to stab me in various places. I stand up just as the enemy stands up and swing a roundhouse kick, sending the enemy into a nearby tree. The Curse of Achilles made me a lot stronger.

However, this other person wasn't going to give up easily either.

"You wanna play dirty, huh?" No. "Well two can play at that game." The person charges at me. I sidestep, but at the last second, the person sidesteps closer to me and shoves me to the ground. My head slams on the earthy area. Luckily, the small of my back was facing the ground, so it would be hard for the enemy to stab me there at the moment.

I was beginning to get a headache from Annabeth's non-stop screaming. She stops to take a break but then continues. I could see small figures running closer in the distance. Campers were coming to our rescue. I just needed to buy us some time.

I pretend to be unconscious, lying on the floor. The enemy comes closer. When they're right by my feet, I swing my legs under their feet and watch as the enemy falls on his back. I do somersaults towards the enemy (Awesome, I know) until I reach him. I pull out my knife. I attempt at stabbing the enemy's heart.

"You know, you never told me who you were," I said as the enemy stood up along with me. We were engaged in battle.

The enemy chuckled. I could see a trickle of blood fall down their arm. "Take a closer look." The enemy slowly pulled his hood down.

And realization dawned on me. It was Gaea. Her eyes weren't all the way open yet (No wonder she had so many monster helpers), but they were going to be fully opened soon. "As soon as my eyes are fully opened, I'll stay on the face of Earth forever. Nothing will be able to stop me." Gaea glances at the sun. "Just ten more minutes."

This is harder than I thought. Annabeth's still wounded and unable to walk steadily, so I'll have to face Gaea by myself.

But to me, that's better than risking Annabeth's life. I smile. "If you end up living till then." I charge. Gaea blocks my sword with hers. I swing at her head, but she blocks it again. We continue to fight like that. One person swings, the other blocks. I quickly glance to see if the campers are still making their way to the forest. I thought I would see campers coming up the tree-filled area, but instead, I see more chaos. It looks like one of Gaea's minions attacked our campers, thus blocking them so they couldn't come to our rescue.

I grunted as Gaea slammed her sword into my sword. She caught me off guard there. Gaea swung at my neck. I ducked and swung my sword across her legs. She jumped and brought her sword down so it would slice me in half. I quickly rolled over.

It seems like we're doing karate instead of fighting.

I stood up, legs shaking. Gaea wasted no time and attacked me. She managed to slice pieces of my shirt off. My shirt looks like it was attacked by a bear. There were holes and scratch marks.

I decide to do some black magic. I start running at Gaea, staying to the right, and at the last second, I turn to her left side and try stabbing her. She blocks my attack.

"Weak tricks you have there," Gaea says. I continue to stab and thrust my sword at her. She smoothly glides around, defending her self in every which way possible.

A bead of sweat makes its way down my face. I wipe my forehead and take a deep breath.

I then glance at Annabeth. She stopped screaming moments ago, but I hadn't even noticed. She gripped a thin tree behind her, using that to pull herself up. "Annabeth, sit down. You're in no condition to fight," I told her.

"I'm fine, Percy," Annabeth grunted. She pulled herself up until she was standing on her feet. It took her a moment to get adjusted to maintaining a steady balance, but eventually, she managed to stand up straight, barely wobbling.

Gaea lunged at me. She knocked me to the ground, resulting in me feeling dizzy. I shook my head until my vision came back.

I pushed her off of me. She stood up. She was just about ready to throw her sword at my stomach (which would've just bounced off me, of course), but something stopped her from behind. I stood up from my position on the ground. Behind Gaea was Annabeth, even after I told her to stay put.

"It wouldn't be entertaining to let you have all the fun, Percy," Annabeth tells me, smiling slightly. I blink. What is that supposed to mean?

Either way, I waste no time. I charge at Gaea. Annabeth charges too. We almost have her cornered, but she jumps up in the air, higher than a human could possibly jump without any equipment on. Annabeth almost knocks into me, but I take hold of her shoulders and stop her. Gaea hovers slightly in the air.

"New equipment," Gaea says with a sinister grin. Her eyes are almost fully opened now. It's been about seven minutes.

Gaea drops to the floor with a great deal of force. I can practically see the crack in the earth when she comes to a stop near Annabeth and me.

Gaea decides to attack Annabeth first, since she's still a little weak. Annabeth blocks Gaea's sword with her dagger. I rush over to the scene, standing next to Annabeth.

That's when I notice a figure coming near us in the forest.

And no, it wasn't another camper.

It was a beautiful woman. She walked with a limp to her. She had long wavy black hair, captivating brown eyes, and pale skin that glistened in the sunlight. I found myself staring.

She walked closer to me, licking her lips. She traced a blood-red fingernail on my cheek. My breath caught short in my throat.

"What's your name, young man?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice. It sounded menacing, almost.

"P-percy," I stuttered. She clenched her fists, but then smiled at me.

"Percy, snap out of it!" I heard the muffled voice of Annabeth in the background.

Annabeth's right. I know better. I shook my head and got in a battle stance, gripping my sword till my knuckles turned white. I blinked a few times.

Just as I was about to slash, the beautiful woman said, "You're a handsome young lad. How about giving me a kiss?" She blinks flirtatiously and winks.

I tighten my grip on my sword and lunge. The woman bares her fangs. She changes into her true form with white skin, red eyes, fangs, and one prosthetic bronze leg and one donkey leg. She's for sure an Empousa.

She blocks my attack by knocking Riptide out of my hands. It skitters across the ground and lands by Gaea's feet. Gaea was currently fighting Annabeth, who didn't look like she was in good shape.

I turn back to the Empousa. She's advancing on me, baring her fangs. I wait till my sword reappears in my pocket.

But it's taking longer than I anticipated.

The Empousa lunges at me, knocking me to the ground. "How about that kiss?" She asks, baring her fangs. She's just about to slice my face off when I feel Riptide reappear in my pocket. I quickly uncap the pen and just as the Empousa reaches for my face, I unexpectedly stabbed her. She stares at her wound, growls, and poofs into a pile of yellow dust.

That teaches you to never let your guard down.

I stood up and wiped fake dust off my jeans. Then I ran over to Gaea. Annabeth and I started fighting back-to-back, just like we'd done the day Kronos attacked us. Visions of Annabeth taking that knife for me reappear in my mind.

Gaea slashes at me. I deflect her sword with mine. "Annabeth?" I ask.

Annabeth's eyes stay fixated on Gaea's every move. Gaea whistles, and moments later, three Telkhines come to attack us. I try searching for Gaea, but she must've escaped. I can't find her anywhere. "Yeah?" Annabeth asks

Youcandothis, I encourage myself. Tellher. I begin to feel nervous. I slash at a Telkhine as one attacks me. It growls and lunges again. "Um," The Telkhine attempts to claw at me. I cut its paw off. How should I saw this? "Watch out!" I warn her as the same Telkhine with only three paws attempts to bite Annabeth. She quickly stabs its muzzle. At this rate, it'll take a while to actually tell Annabeth that I remember her.

But I know I must do it. I take a deep breath.

Annabeth's POV

Percy seems kinda nervous as he fights the Telkhines with me. We're fighting back-to-back. My back covers his Achilles spot. Thank goodness.

"Watch out!" Percy warns me as a three-pawed Telkhine (Percy must've cut one paw off) attempts to bite me. I stab its muzzle with my dagger. It whimpers and stumbles around. I throw my knife at its back just as it turns into a pile of yellow dust. I pick up my knife from the ground and continue to fight the two remaining Telkhines.

"What's that you wanted to tell me?" I ask Percy calmly. I'm beginning to feel a lot better, now that I'm used to standing up steadily.

"Well," Percy starts. "These past few weeks have been quite the adventure. I learned what it felt to feel alone in a world where you don't know what's real or not real." He thrusts his sword at a Telkhine.

Percy's right. It's been a long adventure for all of us. I can't just pity myself, we've all been through a lot. "True," I tell him. "Tough times never last, but tough people do."

Percy nods. "Yea." So that's all he wanted to tell me? "But different things happened while we were on the journey…" He pauses and gulps. I finish off one of the Telkhines by stabbing its eye. It turns into a pile of yellow dust. Two down, one to go. (A/N: Say two down one to go, Hey Hey! Sorry, softball chant.) "…and they were for the greater good." I guess causing the Romans to leave was a good thing, because we found Jason. Is that what he's trying to say? I ponder this while I slash at the last Telkhine. Percy joins me.

The Telkhine slashes at my face. Percy slices its arm off before it can do any damage. I stab its hind leg as Percy makes a gash in its stomach, causing the Telkhine to turn into a pile of dust.

"Come out wherever you are Gaea," I say. Percy and I search behind the large tree. Nothing. We search behind tinier trees, but still can't find anything.

Eventually, we hear the tiny snicker. I shoot my gaze upward. Gaea is sitting on the branch of a tree, pointing at her eyes. They're just about to open. "Two more minutes!" she snickers. I glance at Percy. He looks worried. Help should've come a while ago when I screamed at the top of my lungs. Gaea must've sent some of her sidekicks to defeat the campers.

But I know they won't die that easily. Not when they know we're in danger. Especially Thalia.

"How are we gonna get up there?" Percy asks the most obvious question.

I stare at him. "Climb, of course." Gaea isn't too high up. We could probably make it there in a minute and a half, if we climb quickly.

Percy grabs hold of a sturdy branch. He pulls himself up. He begins to climb a little higher. Then I start to advance up the tree. I'm not worried about myself falling-I'm pretty good at climbing trees-I'm more worried about Percy falling on me. Percy most likely wouldn't get hurt since he has the Curse of Achilles.

Gaea laughs at us as we continue to climb. We're almost there, just a few more branches.

Percy climbs higher. He could probably reach Gaea if he extends his arm more.

Just as Percy was about to pull Gaea down, she cackles wildly and jumps off the tree branch, landing on the ground feet below us. If we jumped off the tree, we'd most likely break a bone. At least I would. Once again, Percy's got the Curse of Achilles.

Percy curses under his breath. He knows we're in a tough situation. "Annabeth, I'm going to jump down. I'll handle Gaea from there, you can sit on the branch." Right now, I was stuck in a climbing position. Percy extended his hand out and helped pull me up so I could sit on the branch.

"No," I tell him sternly. "I'm coming with you."

"Annabeth, there's no way you could jump down here without doing any damage," Percy says.

"Better hurry!" Gaea taunts. "Your minute is almost up!"

"I'm not staying here, Percy," I complain. I willnot watch as Percy risks his life without me helping.

Gaea laughs evilly again. "Then I'll just kill you." She begins to raise her arms.

At the last second, someone says, "Over my dead body." I watch in awe as a silver arrow pierces Gaea's heart. Two more soar into her stomach and head. I look gratefully at my savior.

Gaea croaks, "How dare you..." She coughs out blood. That's enough to kill her? Wow.

Thalia, Percy and my rescuer, smiles big. "So those are your last words before you go to the Underworld. How interesting." Thalia pulls back her bow and arrows, ready to shoot again.

Gaea's still standing, but she's very wobbly. She spits blood into her hand and etches something on her black cloak, using the blood as a writing utensil. Then she falls to the ground, limp.

I walk over to Gaea's body….but instead, I find nothing. Nothing except her black cloak. I get a closer look at what she etched on the cloak. It read: It's not over, I'll be back for you. You better be ready.

So Gaea fled, huh?

"What's it say?" Percy asks, walking closer to me. He reads what's on the cloak. His expression turns to puzzled.

"Something doesn't seem right. How could she vanish in thin air?" Percy asked. I had an idea. I was searching through Daedalus's laptop a few months ago. I found an invention that let you vanish in thin air and teleport to any place you wish. But it was very complex and hard to make. I can't confirm anything yet. So instead, I shrugged. "Who knows. It's Gaea, for crying out loud."

Percy still looked puzzled, but decided to drop it. We have other things to worry about at the moment. "Are the other campers okay?" Percy asks. He's talking about the ones that started coming to the forest to aid us, but suddenly stopped for some reason.

Thalia's eyes got dark. "A few Automatons attacked them. They took forever to defeat, many people were injured, but we managed to finish them off." Percy nodded. Then he looked at me. His sea-green eyes seemed to twinkle with delight.

Thalia looked between us and smiled. "I'm going to go help some of the injured people. See you later." She walked down the forest until we couldn't see her anymore.

"I guess we should go help her too," I said. I started walking, but Percy stopped me.

"Annabeth," he said. I looked at him. He looked serious. Then he averted his eyes. I managed to get a glimpse of his red cheeks. He scraped his foot across the ground. "Um, I…wanted to thank you. For everything." He looks me in the eye. I stare at him, captivated by his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I say. He just stares back.

"For being there for me when I didn't return the favor." He looks like he wants to add something, but hesitates.

"Your welcome, I guess," I say, shrugging. "But I really think we should go now-"

Percy cuts me off. He closes his eyes tight. The hot sun beat down on him, defining his facial features. He begins to walk closer to me. My heart is practically beating out of my chest. It's the only thing I hear over the silence. He smiles. "I should've known you were the one all along." I stare at him. Is this really happening?

"Percy-" I start. Percy interrupts me, but not with words.

With a kiss.

He leans closer to me. Before I know it, I feel his soft warm lips pressed against mine.

Everything around me slowed around. I was in my happy place again, with no fighting and no battles. I tuned out the sounds of birds and crickets that surrounded me.

I parted my lips slightly. Percy moved closer, deepening the kiss. It was in that moment that I felt like I fully understood what it felt like to be loved by someone, the warmth and passionate feeling that it brought.

Percy slowly pulled away. I found myself wishing that the kiss lasted longer.

"I remember, Annabeth," he said in a low voice, our foreheads pressed together. "Everything." He wrapped his arms around me. I instantly felt the warmth. If I could, I'd stop time and replay this moment over and over again.

A few moments passed. Percy finally said, "Now, how about we go help Thalia out and bring the injured to the infirmary?"

I smiled, staring deep into Percy's eyes. "Sounds good." Percy stood up and helped me up. I took his hand. Just as we were about to leave the forest, I heard a whisper and the click of a camera. I whirled around.

Half the camp stood there with goofy smiles plastered to their faces. Someone started slowly clapping, and soon enough, they were all whooping and cheering for us. I grinned. This reminded me of Percy's birthday when they hoisted us on their shoulders and threw us in the lake.

I looked up at Percy. He was, too, grinning. I could see a faint blush on his cheeks.

Well, I guess there is some things that'll never change about him. He's still the same Seaweed Brain I remember.

Lauryn's POV

I watched as Camp Half-Blood cheered for Percy and Annabeth. I couldn't help smiling myself.

I know, I used to resent Annabeth. But that was before I knew that she was actually Percy's girlfriend. That was before I knew what she was really going through. I gotta admit, I felt a little pity for her.

But don't get me wrong, I still dislike the Greeks.

Maybe just a little less than I used to.

The good thing about this journey was that our prophecy ended. The last part said that the sea and the wise would defeat Gaea, the threat. I'm not sure what really happened or if they defeated her at that matter.

But I'm just happy that all this fighting is over.

Reyna's POV

I grunted in frustration. Stupid Greeks. How could they turn Jason to the dark side?

That's right. I just visited him in the infirmary. That stupid Greek, Piper Whats-Her-Name, was sitting there, holding his hand. I lashed out at her, calling her names and saying that she was a stupid Greek.

But she deserved it.

Jason stared at us. He told me to stop. So I did. But then he said that I should leave.

Me.

How could he say that?

I mean I know we were never dating, but…I liked him.

Now I'm beginning to realize that I only liked him for his good looks, and not what his personality was.

Maybe I was wrong.

Oh, who am I kidding, I'm never wrong.

Oo0Oo0oO0oO0oO0

Ten minutes later, the Roman camp and the Greek camps are staring at each other. Just staring. I can practically see the tension in the air. It's as if a line separates them from each other.

"Well?" a Greek boy asked.

"Let's attack them!" a Roman camper shouts. I completely agree with her.

"Wait," Lupa, the head of our camp, stops us. We all obey her. "Just think about it. They helped us defeat Gaea and we helped them. They were significant in this battle. We probably would've failed if it weren't for them. We shouldn't attack." We pondered this for a moment.

"Then what should we do, leave and pretend this never happened?" a Roman boy asked.

"That's exactly what we should do," the person I least expected to stand up for the Greeks said. How could she?

"Lauryn!" I scold her. She looks at the floor.

"It'll be a lot easier on us. The injured people need to rest and get healthy again. It wouldn't be fair to advance on a full-on-full battle in our current situation," she adds.

"I agree," Lupa says. We all stare at her. I guess we have no choice now.

"This isn't over," I growl. I spot Jason in the crowd. He must be feeling better. "Let's go, Jason," I say through clenched teeth. Jason just stares at me and doesn't say anything. "Jason!" I yell at him.

He shakes his head. Piper and Thalia are by his side. "I'm staying here. They treat me better. I learned a lot while I stayed here. Greeks help each other out. They don't leave somebody else standing in the dust."

"Jason, be reasonable," a Roman camper snickers.

I immediately yell at the camper. Then I say, "If Jason wants to make stupid decisions, then let him. Let's leave."

Annabeth's POV

Fifteen minutes later, the whole camp (Just Camp Half-Blood. Excluding the injured people) is seated in the Dining hall. We all have drinks in front of us. I was wondering about the Great Prophecy. I don't think it had occurred during this battle. After all, Gaea did say she was going to come back and defeat us. Maybe it'll happen next time.

"Cheers to such an amazing battle! We really made a comeback," Chiron said. We all begin to cheer. I look at Percy, full of smiles. He winks at me.

I think to myself, andcheerstosuchanamazingrelationship.

And at that moment, I knew everything was going to be okay.

For now.

Oo0Oo0Oo0Oo0Oo0Oo0

I know we lost lots of lives during this treacherous adventure. However, it taught me the true meaning of love, friendship, and what it felt to lose someone dear to you. But I knew everything would be okay. Everything would turn out like it used to be. We would go back to our ordinary lives, training for the next battle. And, surprisingly enough, I was looking forward to doing just that, no matter what it takes.

Because, finally, I realized that in the end, you always find the beginning.

..That's…the end… Actually, in the end, you always find the beginning, so technically, this isn't the end! This is just the start! (I'm quoting Annabeth)

It's funny, because it probably just took you guys a really long time to read that, while it only took me one second to scroll down from the first A/N and write the last A/N. Can you believe that the first A/N took me 30 minutes? This one will take longer 'cause I have to respond to everyone's reviews…

Thanks to Anonymous and Eagleyes111 for sending me those amazing OC's! They gave me Mia and Jack! Also, I'm sorry if I portrayed your character wrong. I gave a humorous edge to Jack and added some stuff to Mia. Also, believe it or not, I was very red-faced when I was writing the Percabeth kissing scene. At least you guys got a kissing scene!

Now, for those of you who were wondering, I'm probably NOT going to write a TMOA. It took me very long to finish this story and I must finish You Again. I'm sorry to disappoint! If you guys still want a piece of this story, you can reread it! Of course, it'll take a really long time, but still! Also, here's some advice to those of you who are waiting for your favorite author to update when he/she hasn't updated in forever: Reread the last few chapters.

Now, here's responses to reviews.

Anonymous: Thanks for the reminder! That's terrible that your mom drove past that scene! Aww, I pray for your grandma's cat! Poor kitty. :( When you wrote the review about it being past 7:00 PM in ur time, I was writing this long A/N! :D

Alj97: Yup! Ha, thanks!

Redlox2: …you know it… Thanks!

WritingIsMyLife426: It's okay! Thanks! :D

Eagleyes111: Thanks for the reminder! I love your sig! Lol! Jack might seem REALLY mature for his age, but I originally had him at age 16/17 because I didn't remember that you wrote a review saying to make him around 13-ish! So when I went back and read the review while I was responding to reviews, I changed it! Thanks for the website, too! I'll check it out. Ugh, I know! I have a math test on Tuesday, the day after Halloween! How can I study? It's on fractions with algebra. Mixed fractions and normal fractions! UGH!

Capollo4Ever: Long story. I went to tuck my side bang behind my hair, and then I wanted to turn the fan on (I was in my room laying on my bed while on the laptop), so I decided to see if I could jump up while remaining on my butt to reach the little thing that you pull that turns the fan on. I jumped too much and while my hand was in front of my face I poked my eye. Then I just got up and turned the fan on…I'm immature, I know!

WiseGirl13: Thanks!

The Lone Clapper: Ha, thanks!

Jamieeeeeee: Gasp, I know! Lol!

Qwerty: In the Hunger Games, your character is supposed to kill others in order to survive. Mine died. :(

June Alyssa: Thanks! I have school tomorrow too, and I'm writing this A/N at 10:30 PM!

Strangerthingshavhappened: They didn't have the Great Prophecy in this TSON, it's actually a long story on why I didn't put it in.. Sorry! Ha, thanks!

Athena's Owlet: Lol! Thanks so much.

PeaceLoveAndCheese: Thanks! Ha! Lol. The skeleton was just random. IDK, it was really confusing about the tunnels. Leo's actions are always strange… O.o

Mia: Thanks! The dude was just a random worker of Gaea's. LOL!

iStoleYourBlueMoonIceCream: :D

MagicDemi-god223: Neither am i! When it's other people's story's, of course. :D

Oinkk: K! Thanks!

Tally Jennifer Youngblood: I know! :( If you randomly want to know how I poked it, read Capollo4Ever's response to review.

Candyflower58: Something like that! Thx!

Hidden in the flames meSTDSD: Aw. Thanks!

Shampowwy: Crap, I read your spoiler alert! I didn't read it the first time, but… DARN! Ha, thanks!

Kate childof Athena: Thanks! I added one.

Percabeth81200: The Percabeth has happened! :D

Hello: AU is like without the gods and their not demigods. It could mean something different, too. It stands for alternate universe.

SeaweedBrainWiseGirl: How could I forget to add Percabeth? LOL, thanks!

Mia: Oh gods, don't do it! Lol! I'm on Percy's side! That was really funny bout Leo!

Hailey W: I have updated!

Well, TSON is finally done. If you guys have any questions, concerns, hate mail, fan mail, threats, PM me! I'll be sure to respond.

Now, I'm going to leave on a happy note.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!

Love, starglow13

P.S., Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite! I'm just saying that because it's now 10:44 where I live. I needed to study for a music test (I know officially hate music), but left my binder at school. The school wasn't open, so now I have to WING IT! IT'S NOT MULITPLE CHOICE!

Disregard what I said about leaving on a happy note. I'm leaving on a ticked off note.

But you guys should leave on a happy note, because Percabeth has finally happened. Unless you wanna leave on a sad note because this story ended.

GODS, I'm rambling! Now…goodbye, my favorite reviewers of all time! I hope to hear from you soon in other stories or just receive a PM. Thanks so much for your support.

XOXOXOXOXO
