Percy and Annabeth -- After CHB

Chapter 6

They finally got out and went home. Annabeth was tired, and went right to sleep, but Percy lay awake. He kept thinking about their kids. When he fell asleep he dreamt of their life.

"Morning Wise Girl!" Percy said.

"Morning Seaweed Brain!" she answered, "You wake up Luke and I get Bianca?"

"Like always."

They jumped out of bed and walked down the hall into the twin's room.

"Let's go squirts!" Percy shouted

"Dad! Be quiet!" They complained in unison.

Annabeth smiled and walked to the kitchen. She took out the waffle mix and blue food coloring. While the kids and Percy got dressed, Annabeth made blue waffles with chocolate chips. They rest of the family rushed out and dug in. She smiled. And to think that she was scared at first. Sure, kids could be a handful, but they were the best thing that ever happened to her. Except maybe Percy. There he sat. Drowning his waffles in syrup like always. "So kids. What do you have going on at school today?"

"I have a quiz on plant biology with Mrs. Gardener." Bianca said through a mouthful of waffles.

"Good luck honey!" Annabeth said, smiling at Percy.

Awake. Percy was awake. But he wasn't in his bedroom. He wasn't in his bed. Annabeth. He bolted upright and looked wildly around. There! She lay, asleep, a few feet away from him. Percy relaxed. He started to register their surroundings.

Gray walls. Gray floor. No windows. It was cold. It was dark. There was nothing in the room. "Annabeth!" he whispered. She turned over and opened her eyes.

"Where-"

A giant stepped out from the shadows.

"Atlas." Percy and Annabeth said together

"Yes yes little demi gods! Now back to the matters at hand. I have captured you, and I am sure you want to know why. Well, in short, I have learned of a spell. One that will awaken Gaia. Again. All I need is five sacrifices. They need to be proof of a rivalry abolished," he pointed at Annabeth, "Proof of two cultures combined," he shoved in two figures.

"Jason! Piper! Oh my god is Thea okay?"

"And, we also need a show of one true culture. A truly roman child."

He pushed in Frank and Hazel.

"No." Annabeth whispered. Her voice barely audible, "No, no, please! Percy!" she started to cry.

"Oh don't worry! We will let you deliver your children here. You will have proper time. We want those babies to be as healthy as possible, before I kill them!" With that, he left the demigods to cry.

When Annabeth pulled herself together, she began to think. She Percy, Jason and Piper were only here because their children were perfect sacrifices, but Hazel and Frank? Why? They had no children. Unless? "Hazel-"
