Chapter 1

Annabeth,

"You are such a Seaweed Brain." I teased, nudging him playfully. He gave me that lopsided grin he knew I loved, which resulted in me blushing.

"Aw, wittle Anniebeth is embwarrassed." Percy pouted like a four year old, pretending to be me apparently.

"Aw, wittle Percy has a booboo." I pouted back at him.

He stared at me in confusion. What a Seaweed Brain, luckily.

"I don't have a-" I cut him off by punching him on the shoulder. He clutched it, grimicaning. After my laughter had died down and my stomach went back to normal, he replied.

"Who's gonna kiss it better?" He grinned evilly at me before snatching me into a death grip. I protested and tried to wiggle out, but he just held on tighter.

"Perseus Jackson!"I yelled his full name.

"Just kiss the sore, Wise Girl." He whispered into my ear. For some reason his voice made me go weak, resulting in me leaning into him.

Curse Aphrodite!

I finally turned myself around to face him and playfully kissed his shoulder. He relaxed his grip, his eyes twinkling with amusement. His black hair blended in with the night sky but his green eyes refused too. They were in contrast I could almost see them without the moonlight.

If you looked close enough you could imagine the sea crashing on the shore in his eyes.

That was one of many things I loved about him.

He grinned mischievously down at me and grabbed me by the waist, falling to the ground. I yelped in surprise as he laughed. I slapped him on the chest and pulled his hands away from me.

I kicked up sand getting away from him, trying to seem mad. He just stared at me, biting his lip hard to make sure his laughs don't get out. They better not, or I'd kill him.

"Aw Annabeth." He protested, coming over to sit next to me on the shore. I hugged my knees to my chest, refusing to give into him. He gave me the puppy dog eyes and I couldn't help to roll my eyes and laugh.

"Such a Seaweed Brain." I laughed. He grinned at me and scooped me into his lap, which I didn't refuse. We just sat there in comfortable silence for a while before I spoke up.

"It's so beautiful." I said in awe. The moon reflected off of the sea perfectly, making it look dreamy like.

"Eh, I've seen better." He shrugged as if I were referring to a piece of trash. I rose my eyebrows at him, what could be better than this?

"Prettier than this? Care to elaborate?" I said stubbornly.

He pretended to think about it for a long time, his eyes not leaving mine. I narrowed my eyes at him, annoyed, thinking he just wouldn't answer.

"Well you want prettier than this or prettier than everything? Because it's the same." His smile told me I should know I was just oblivious to it.

"Both, I guess." I shrugged. I hated not knowing things, even if it was this small.

"Well you, of course." He said softly yet serious to my surprise. His sweet smile pulling me to him like a magnet.

I kissed him on the lips and pulled back to look up to the stars. I could picture the large smile on his face and feel his gaze turned to me. After awhile of soaking up the scenery, I heard some weird noise but ignored it.

"Annabeth." Percy urged quietly, whispering into my ear. I instantly knew something was wrong when he said that.

"Yes?" I replied stiffly, high on alert.

"Did you hear that?" He whispered back. I let my hearing search for a minute before I heard a quiet snapping noise. As in the snapping of twigs.

I nodded silently before slowly getting out of his lap and standing up. I held my hand out and Percy took it, bringing himself up. After he stood he didn't let go of my hand, not that I'm complaining or anything.

Suddenly I saw a light and instantly went on alert. The fire came closer into view and I realized it wasn't fire, but hair. My heart seemed to stop and start again pounding one hundred times faster.

"Oh look, it's my favorite couple." A girl came into view, hate and distaste showed through her sneer. She looked ready to claw our heads off.

And I didn't have a weapon.

But Percy did.

The one time I choose not to bring my dagger, a monster comes. My luck is always the best.

"Kelli." Percy addressed calmly, but I could see the uncertainty in his eyes. Kelli was at least a millennia older than us, and far more skilled.

I tried to slow my heart beat down as the Empousas gaze shifted over to look at me. "I'm not going to keep you wanting from your deaths, trust me. I'll enjoy every minute of it. Only question is, do you want her to die or you?" She looked back at Percy with a glint of hunger.

My heart began to beat faster, waiting for her to make a move. Percy took a protective step towards me which made Kelli grin evilly.

I felt someone's breath on the back of my neck and something painful puncture the skin on my neck. I let out a small cry of surprise and pain. Percy had been told to back up by Kelli, or I'd be killed.

"So, who's it gonna be Percy? You or Annie Wannie here?" Kelli smiled smugly. Percy's face had turned pale with fear. That idiot, I knew exactly what he was going to do. My instincts went into drive, and I had the feeling to run and fend for myself. Stupid human feelings, they really sicken me when they're cowardly.

Ignoring the fear bubbling in my stomach, I croaked out to Percy "You idiot! Leave, don't!" I kicked my foot out, trying to reach him and push him away. He'd get himself killed for me.

He shook his head as if trying to clear the image in front of him. "What do you want Kelli?" He asked coldly, not taking his eyes off of me.

"Hmm...lets see..revenge. Yes, we'll start at that." She replied with happiness. "You'll understand how it feels to lose the one you love."

Tears began to well in my eyes at her statement. I couldn't believe it, if Percy took my place then I'd die anyways, unarmed she'd kill me.

He licked his lips and said in a harsh voice "If you killed her, you'd know I'd kill you the moment she died." He had a good point there, and she should've known that. She just let out a bone chilling laugh at his words.

"Dear Percy, you think I'll care? I'll come back soon enough, but this girl here never will." She tightened her grip on me, and I felt the blood soaking the neckline of my shirt. I hissed with pain, trying not to show how much it actually hurt.

He looked like he was in conflict with himself, but right when he saw my face he decided. "Don't kill her, you don't want her, you want me. Just don't kill her." He sounded so broken, I felt bad.

Percy no!" I cried, feeling her tighten her grip on me.

Percy gave me a sad smile after he shook his head at me like I wasn't getting the big picture.

"Annabeth, I won't let you die. I love you so much." He whispered to me, his eyes clouding over.

Tears of pain fell down my face, how, only moments before we were as happy as could ever be?

"Hurry up, Jackson. I'm getting tiresome." She hissed.

She let go of me and I ran to him. He hugged me tightly and turned his back to the Empousa. During the embrace, he murmured "I love you. Don't forget I love you." Before letting out a grunt of pain. Surprised, I backed away. His eyes started to roll into the back of his head and he held something in his hand, pushing it towards me.

I caught him before he fell and pulled him up, weeping. "Percy, no...oh Gods." I sobbed, noticing his back turning sticky. He started to turn pale and unfocused. He took his closed hand and put whatever he had into my hand.

I felt two things drop into my hand, but I didn't care to look at them, why would I? My boyfriend was dying in my arms at the moment.

"Stay with me Percy..stay with me." I begged, pulling onto his shirt trying to hold deadweight up.

Deadweight.

Percy took a gulp of air and opened his mouth to speak. "Anna-annabet..." He trailed off, his eyelids closing. His eyes widened suddenly and he looked back at me, as if remembering what he had been saying.

"Annabeth, I..I love you. Don't..go..Don't.." He clutched onto my shirt, the pain taking its toll. I kissed him repeatedly, telling him I loved him too.

"I'll never go Percy. I promise." I broke down after a few minutes of no response. His breathing had slowed to a stop 28 seconds ago, and now all that was left was his body. I looked up to notice Kelli had left.

Percy had died quite quickly, and I almost curled into a ball and cried myself to sleep trying to look at his back. His skin was cold and pale.

I looked to his back and noticed something green sticking in with the blood. I almost gagged at the smell, but noticed what it was.

The green ooze was poison.

That bit-Emposa put poison on whatever she used to kill Percy.

Percy could be alive right now if he hadn't been so thick headed.

I'd never see those beautiful sea-green eyes I loved with all my heart.

I couldn't hear his amazing voice that was music to my ears ever again.

I'd never be able to feel his soft and careful touch

I'd never see my Seaweed Brain again.

Percy wouldn't be able to grow up and have children.

Get married.

Anything.

He was dead, and it was my fault.

I decided to look down to my hand and see what he had handed me. I opened my closed fist and saw his precious ballpoint pen, Riptide. I took a sharp intake of breath, the cursed blade with a horrible past. I instantly put it in my pocket, trying to slow down my breathing when I looked to the other thing.

It was a ring.

And no, not a wedding ring. More like a promise ring type. The moonlight bounced off of it, making the silver sparkle. I noticed engraved on the ring it said Seaweed Brain

I hated to do it, but I looked to his body and saw that he was wearing a matching ring that when I rotated my head, said Wise Girl

I didn't care that he was a lifeless corpse, I took his hand and clutched onto it for dear life.

I just wanted my Seaweed Brain back.

I pulled my knees up to my body and began to weep until a blinding light fell on me. I looked up and saw a jeep on the beach, someone easily slipping out of the car and coming over to stand in front of me.

She was around 13 looking, way too young to drive a jeep. But while looking at her standing tall and proud, you couldn't help but to feel very respectful. Her eyes glittering with adventure and eons of knowledge, she seemed to be towering over me.

"Lady Artemis?"

She smiled sympathetically down at me.

"Yes Child." She addressed formally, her eyes skimming over Percy's body. She had a look of disappointment glitter in her eyes. I guess some Gods could care, even if she didn't like boys to begin with.

She snapped her fingers, and just like that Percy's body was gone. I wanted to protest, to scream, to curse, to cry, to just end everything and be with Percy.

I did some of it, too. I cried and yelled for what seemed like forever, and Artemis just watched, nodding slowly as if she were thinking something over. After I was down bawling and entirely exhausted, she spoke.

"I have a proposition for you." She began.
