****I found the idea for this fanfic on Pinterest. It was headcannon but I've decided to make it an actual story. If you find the headcannon please send it to me on pinterest. My username is Miss Hummingbird. My story takes place after the War with Gaea. It is in alternating POVs of Annabeth, Percy, Marissa (Percabeth's daughter), and some other characters. Some characters are property Rick Riordan's and some are mine.****
Prologue (3rd person POV)
"I never die! I am in the soil below you, in the trees around you, if you kill me you destroy the earth!"
"We might not be able to kill you but we can make sure you go back to sleep." Percy yelled back at the earthen woman.
"Do what you will demigods but not without my curse on you and your descendants. No child of yours will live to age sixteen. Every time you wake up it will be another day of fear for your child's life. Every night you go to sleep you won't know if you will wake up to an alive child or a dead one. I curse you Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson. You will never know peace again!" and with that Gaea fell to ground asleep. A tremor shook the mountain before the earth below started to suck her in. She sunk until she was buried once again in her own domain. Annabeth fell to the ground sobbing like her heart was broken, and it was. Percy ran over and sat down with her. He pulled her into his shoulder and there she stayed wetting Percy's shirt with her tears. Piper and Jason just stood there hugging each other in shock. Hazel,Frank, and Leo were still fighting the last of the monsters down the mountain.
"What ar-are we gonna d-do, Perc-y?" Annabeth hiccuped.
"We will figure it out Annabeth, it will all be ok." Percy replied smoothing down Annabeth's tangly blonde hair. After a while the hiccuping stopped and both Annabeth and Percy were asleep. Fighting for your life will do that to a teenager. When Leo, Frank, and Hazel came running up the mountainside battered and bruised, Piper filled them in on what happened. Hazel slapped her hand across her mouth and tears started to run down her face.
"Thats terrible!" she exclaimed. You couldn't really put into words how terrible the curse was.
"We better get back to the ship." Jason said. His voice was tired and drained and you could see the weariness in his eyes.
"Yeah, but how are we gonna move them?" Leo asked inclining his head in the direction of Percy and Annabeth. "Should we wake them up?" Not even Leo could crack a joke now.
"I guess we have to. I don't want to but we don't have a choice." Piper replied. "I will wake them up." She started to walk to the sleeping couple. They woke up and were fine until they remembered the curse. Annabeth took a shaky breath and fought back the tears. Piper had to Charmspeak them both into walking to the ship and falling back asleep. There was no celebration. No one knew how the war between the camps went or if anyone was left alive. Nico, Reyna, and Coach Hedge haven't been heard of for about 3 days now. All they could do was continue to New York. According to Leo it would take about a week to get back. The ship was badly damaged and needed repairs before it could fly again, but for now they could sail. Leo isolated himself from the other six at the helm completely focused on navigating. Piper and Jason stayed awake on watch but Frank and Hazel went to sleep. The night was quiet and all you could hear were the gentle waves as the Argo II sailed into the night.
****Yes, I ended like Rick did House of Hades****
