His Dark Side

Gee, thanks.

First of all, I would like to point out that @LadyNightlight, @saphirabluescales, and @deathpower are very, very evil people. If you want to know why, go on the comments of the last chapter of this story. They all banded together and tortured me until I started to write this chapter. I have evil, demented followers. -_-

Annabeth's POV

       I ran through the cabin, checking everywhere. No sigh on him. He didn't leave a trace. "G-Guys?" I stuttered, coming out of the cabin slowly. "He's not here."

      Soon, the rest of the seven and Nico were looking all around the cabin. We were about to check around the stables or the beach when there was a flash. I closed my eyes tightly and when we opened them again I saw we were on Olympus. And by 'we' I meant the Seven, Nico and Thalia. Somehow.

       "My lords." I bowed slightly before the audience of gods. "May I ask why we are here?"

       "Rise my daughter." Athena said firmly, but a gentle tone in her voice. I obeyed and stood. "We understand you were looking for Percy?"

       I nodded, biting my bottom lip in worry. "We know where he is." Poseidon asked. I gasped in relief, but before I could say anything he started again. "But it's not a good thing."

      I looked at him confused and saw his eyes were deep green with sadness. "He's in Tartarus, my dear." Athena told me softly.

      My eyes widened. "No..." I whispered, clenching my fists so they couldn't see them trembling. "W-Why?! How!?"

       "It... It has been thought that Tartarus has somehow teleported him there. We are but to watch from Olympus." She said sadly. I bit my bottom lip harder then burst into tears. Piper and Hazel rushed to my side and hugged me close while I sobbed into their shoulders.

       "Wait, watch?" Nico questioned.

       I pulled away from the hug, wiping tears from my eyes. "Yeah, what was that about?" I asked.

      "We have been informed you've placed a thought reading device on Percy, though it won't work from this far. So we thought you'd prefer to watch." Poseidon explained sadly.

      Without hesitation, I nodded. "Then take a seat." Hera snapped her fingers and a bunch of bean bag chairs, soda and junk food appeared. She smiled sadly at me.

      "I figured you'd need to eat. It always helps me under stressful times." She explained. I had never really liked her, actually I had hated her, but her hospitality made me feel welcome.

       I smiled at her and relief flooded her features. "And it makes you fat." Zeus muttered under his breath. Luckily, Hera didn't hear.

      We all settled down around each other, facing the giant jumbo screen on the wall. It flickered to life and I grabbed Piper's hand. It wasn't romantic, just comforting to the image that was on the screen. Percy was walking through a giant castle, from what it looked like. His face was angry, his fists clenched as he stormed through the massive hallways. Every door he came to he shoved open, looking inside, then growled and continued walking. Suddenly I heard a scream- A scream that sounded very much like mine.

      Percy's eyes widened. "Annabeth!" He yelled, picking his pace up to a run. I wanted to yell to him. To tell him it wasn't me. That it was a trick. Instead I squeezed Piper's hand so tight I'm surprised it didn't break.

      He rounded a corner and stopped dead in his tracks. About thirty monsters stood in his way, and it didn't look like he had a weapon on him. He made a growling noise deep in his throat. "Where's Annabeth."
