Back From Tartarus

1|PROLOUGE

Annabeth Chase may have been terrified of spiders, but she's the bravest girl anyone could possibly know. She's a fighter and theres's nothing she can't do. At least, in everyone's eyes.

At the young age of sixteen, Annabeth was tasked with retrieving the Athena's Statue back from her eight legged foe, Archne. Annabeth's mom is none other than the Greek wisdom goddess herself. Athena. Born from thought, Annabeth was her child, with honey blond hair and gray eyes, lost more children of the goddess.

Annabeth succeeded in following the mark, but what she didn't succeed on was getting the hell out of that spider haven. But her friends - Percy, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Jason and Nico all met up with her, just as she outwit Archne. For a moment, thing were good and Annabeth was celebrating with her friends.

But there was a web attached to her foot... it was pulling her in, into Tartarus. Before she could say anything, Percy grabbed onto her. She pleaded and begged for him to let her go, while Hazel and Nico were calling for help. For Jason or Frank to come back, for they had left with Piper and Leo, only to come back to Annabeth and Percy falling.

They clung together, knowing full well that this could be their last moments.

Nine days.

It took nine days for Annabeth and Percy to fall to Tartarus. Thanks to Percy's powers, they were able to survive the fall.

They trudged through Tartarus, facing many monsters. Together. They befriended a titan and a giant. They needed to get to the doors of death; it seemed like, aside from being in Tartarus, luck was on their side.

Until they separated, unable to find the other, unbeknownst to them whether or not the other was even alive. It was all because of an attack from swarms of monsters.

They couldn't keep up. They accidentally went their separate ways. Being lost in a cruel place without their true love beside them. It become obvious pretty quickly that they won't make it out alive. At least not both of them... but probably neither. They would die here, not even being together. Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl, two people that make up a whole.

Annabeth was left alone, defenseless. Somehow surviving by sheer wit and cleverness, yet she knows she can't keep this up forever. But she can't find the Doors of Death all alone, not without her Seaweed Brain.

Annabeth knows that she'll eventually make a mistake, that she'll die. Surrounded by hungry monsters. She'll die in Tartarus of all places, without her friends to count on.

But that was three years ago, and even though Annabeth is still the same sixteen year old - with time in Tartarus being different and all - she's not dead. She's still alive somehow. And she wants out of this hellhole. One way or another.
