Annabeth's POV

Previously on The House of Hades,

Annabeth's POV

Percy!!" She screamed his name.

"Annabeth!!"

"Where are you?" She said as she ran across the darkness.

"I don't know." He replied.

"Psst, Psst, Dauughteer of Atthena!" A monster hissed.

Turning around, she yelled, "Who are you?"

"You don'ttt reeebbemmeerr. I'm the one who brought you here. The one who will kill you and give your blood to Gaia. I will finally get my revenge against the goddesssss atthheennaa."

"Arachne! What have you done to Percy?"

"He is fulfilling hissss Destiny as a sacrifice to Gaia."

"What? No!" She exclaimed.

"Don't worrrryyy chilllldd! It'll be your turn soon enough."

'How do I get out of here? Think Annabeth, think'

"If you’re thinking about trying to escape, then it will never happen."

"What? Why?"

"Cause these doors are Have multiple layers of celestial bronze. Their impossible to break." Arachne said.

"You couldn't have thought all of that alone. Who's idea was it?"

The room suddenly become cold as the air morphed to form a human body.

"It was mine." He said.

"And who might you be." Annabeth asked.

"You don't know me. I am the spirit of this place."

"Tartarus?"

"Yes, child." He said.

"Why are you helping Gaia?"

"Because the gods have done nothing for me. To them, I'm just a prison to put evil people in. That's why I will personally make sure the gods get tortured when Gaia wins," he yelled, "and you will help me, help us defeat them."

'This is bad. How did we get into this mess anyways?'

Now, on the House of Hades,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While falling, Percy held onto me tight as if he wanted to take most of the damage of the fall.

            “Percy, what are you doing?” Annabeth screamed.

            “I am taking most of the damage. So you won’t get hurt!”

            I knew it. That dumb seaweed brain. “What about you? You’ll hurt!”

            “It doesn’t matter as long as you’re okay!” He said.

            The fall continued as we could finally see the ground.

            Knowing she was all alone with Percy, she closed her eyes and prayed to all the gods and goddesses. I pray to all gods and goddesses to help us through this hellhole, to guide us to the Doors of Death. Please any gods out there help us through this. If you do, we will be forever in your debt.

Voices echoed in her head.

            “Don’t worry child, I’m with you.” Hera.
