5 - Percy

It was pretty stupid, just wandering off like that. He was hurt and worse of all he left Annabeth alone instead of following her. Gods how stupid he had been! For all he knew Annabeth may have not been able to hold her own against Arachne. Percy's stomach bubbled with a mixture of guilt and worry.

Even though he knew he had to go back he didn't, he just kept walking. It was as if someone was whispering in his ear, compelling him to come closer. The voice as soft as snow was beckoning him to forget about Annabeth and to stray towards the voice.

The plains began shifting into an arctic forest around him. He could see fir trees towering over him and could hear the snow crunching under his feet.

 It was strange, as Percy had always thought of Tartarus as a giant melting pot of fiery lava. It obviously wasn't.

 Overhead the green moon was glowing in the green sky giving everything in sight an eerie glow.

The trees began to thin around him until he was in the clearing of the forest and suddenly the cold whispering stopped, he suddenly remembered Annabeth. She was injured and he had to get back and help her ASAP!

Just as Percy began to follow his footprints out of the forest, a howling wind blew against the trees bringing with it a flurry of powder like snow. The  and suddenly the cold whispering stopped, he suddenly remembered Annabeth. She was injured and he had to get back and help her ASAP!

Just as Percy began to follow his footprints out of the forest, a howling wind blew against the trees bringing with it a flurry of powder like snow.

Percy began shivering in the cold blizzard that had started wishing he had Leo's powers of fire so he could warm up, but that wasn't the case.

But as soon as the snow storm had started it was gone within a second. In place of the snow storm was a girl who appeared around sixteen or seventeen. This girl had unnaturally pale skin, she wore an elegant silk dress and a mane of black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Gods she was breath taking, Percy thought to himself. She had her back turned on Percy but began to slowly turn around to face him. Her skin was flawless, but the color of snow. She had coffee brown eyes and cherry colored lips.

There was something about her Percy couldn't place. She was beautiful and elegant, yet cold as winter. He had never met her but there was that whispering again, No was whispering to him. "Son of Poseidon, Come with me" she whispered in her cold soothing voice like snow.

Percy was entranced he put one foot in front of the other and began following the girl. "My name is Khione, I used to work for Gaea but when I failed her she sent me to this icy prison as my punishment. You see I cannot leave this forest just like how you know that you will be the one to stay in Tartarus" she whispered again. GODS WHY DID SHE HAVE TO ALWAYS WHISPER WITH THAT SOFT VOICE LIKE SNOW? Percy thought to himself. What worried him most was the fact that deep down, Percy knew he was trapped in Tartarus and he was never going to escape, but how did she know this?

"But as I was saying, I don't work for Gaea anymore. To stop her from rising you need to defeat her sons, the giants am I correct? I want to help you so I can have my revenge on Gaea, but there's this one slight problem, I can't leave Tartarus. The only thing stopping me from leaving is this forest. You see I'm cursed not to step foot out of these reached woods, however I could leave if someone were to take my place, that way I can help the 6 defeat the giants and prevent Gaea rising. So Perseus, what do you say? Are you willing to help me?" Khione asked, this time not whispering like she previously was. "I don't know, I need to think about it first. And more importantly I need to get back to Annabeth to see if she is okay" Percy said trying to resist Khione's compelling stare. "Perseus take as long as you need, I will be hear waiting and it's not like I will be going anywhere anytime soon anyway" Khione whispered.

Percy started following his footprints out of the woods and turned his head to look at Khione but she was gone.

Percy didn't know whether to trust this Khione or not. I mean she did work with Gaea before, So how do we know if this isn't a trap or one of Gaea's many games that she likes to play, Percy thought to himself as the forest started to shift back into the bare plain where he had left Annabeth on her own.

He was really lucky no monster had come after him because he didn't have riptide, Annabeth did. At least he knew she wasn't absolutely defenseless.

The foreboding mountain range that Annabeth had climbed to lead Arachne away from him loomed into view casting a sinister shadow over the plains. He was at least on the right track to finding Annabeth.

"Percy!, Percy, Where are you!" he heard Annabeth yelling in the surrounding darkness. "Annabeth! I'm here" he yelled back into the darkness.

Annabeth then let out an ear piercing shriek and cried out "Percy help me, Percy I need you!"

Percy began running in the direction of Annabeth's screams. "Percy help!" She screamed out in a bloodcurdling scream.

Percy felt even worse about leaving Annabeth alone, now that she was in trouble. He sprinted towards to mountainous terrain and heard Annabeth say "I'm glad you came!" He immediately turned around and saw Annabeth tied up to a wooden stake that was planted in the ground and noticed the ugly Cyclops who was fiddling with Riptide trying to figure out who he wanted to kill first. Him or Annabeth.

"Demi-God taste good" the Cyclops let out before lunging for Percy.

So there you go, Hope you enjoyed the chapter and ideas and reviews are loved and thank you to all the people who have been reviewing!
