Chapter 7

Annabeth

Everything went black. Suddenly I wasn't in the Big House, I was floating in the midst of nothingness. It sort of reminded me of what it would've been like before the Big Bang. I wasn't necessarily afraid because I'd been in dangerous situations before.

However, I became aware that this situation was unlike any other. As I floated in the blackness an eerie voice began to speak.

"Annabeth Chase, I chose you."

The voice sounded male. It was deep and a bit raspy. And it scared the living heck out of me! I mean, in demigod speak when you are "chosen" it's generally not a good thing.

"I chose you because you are the only one who can complete the task. Use your gift of wisdom. The journey will begin soon. Demigods and magicians must prevail but they can only do it with your help. There is one weapon that can defeat the titans and you must find it."

That's just lovely. This voice is telling me to go complete some task and I don't even know what it is. Not only that, but I can't find out what he's talking about because whenever I try to speak no sound comes out. I can't even think straight. It's like some invisible force is preventing me from doing…well, mostly everything.

My limbs feel like Jell-O so I can't escape. The darkness closes in around me. The voice is silent now. He's no help to me now. What if I die in this forsaken place? Alone and forlorn, with no one to help me? I feel helpless, just like I had when I held the sky, just like I did when Luke became Kronos, and just like I did when Percy left me. Maybe there was hope. I had survived those awful things. There was no reason why I couldn't survive this.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know how I got here. One moment I was in the Big House and the next I was here. What if I was being kidnapped? Could it just be a terrible dream? Either one was possible.

Kidnapping was entirely possible, Hera did it to Percy. The voice said I was "chosen" and that's what Hera said to Percy and Jason. It could also be a dream. I'd had realistic dreams before but none were as real as this. I could've passed out during the meeting because the voice wanted to talk to me. Although, he didn't really tell me anything I didn't know already. He just said a few ominous sentences.

Then my consciousness slipped away and I fell away from my thoughts and into a deep sleep.

I woke to someone pounding away at my chest. Owww I thought that hurts.

"She's alive!" I vaguely heard the person say.

"Annabeth," a familiar voice yelled.

Percy ran over to me. I gazed up at his beautiful green eyes.

"I- we thought you were dying."

"Well, I'm sure glad I'm not," I replied.

"Me too."

When he kissed me I felt like I was in heaven. Everything around us was gone. It was just us. All my fears from my dream were gone. It was just us.

We were interrupted by Chiron, who said, "Percy, give the girl some air. Her life force just returned to her."

I didn't exactly want air at the moment but, what was I going to do?

"Let us continue this discussion on the titans. We will need a quest."

Chiron was cut short by the door creaking open and Nico, Carter, and Sadie walking in.
