Hey everyone, this is when Percy went missing and Annabeth's reaction. I'm so sorry if the characters are OOC. Enjoy!

ANNABETH

I woke up. Just like every other day. Except I felt like a part of me was missing.

Percy.

Oh Gods, I missed him. I missed him so much. I missed his hair, his smile, his sassiness, his loyalty, his love, his eyes-oh Gods his eyes. Those amazing sea green eyes that sparkled when he was happy and dulled when he was sad.

I sighed as I got up and got dressed into a pair of jeans and Camp Half-Blood shirt. I didn't even bother to brush my hair and skipped breakfast, letting Malcolm know what I was doing.

When all my siblings were gone, I reached for my backpack and grabbed out Daedalus' laptop, sitting it in front of me on my bed.

Just before I turned it on, I saw my reflection in the screen of the laptop. My eyes were red and puffy, probably from last night when I cried myself to sleep. My hair was knotted and I hadn't showered for days.

I sighed again as I turned it on. But I froze as I saw what was my background. Percy and I on our first date, after the war. I was laughing as he casually put an arm around my shoulder, that heart stopping grin on his face. I can remember what I was laughing about. Percy had panicked as he thought he had forgotten Riptide, also forgetting that it re-appeared in his pocket.

Seaweed Brain.

A tear slipped down my face, and I wiped it away furiously, sniffing a bit.

But then I couldn't hold it in. For the first time in the 6 months that Percy was gone, I full on sobbed. Sure, I have cried a little bit here and there, but this was a different kind of crying, this was a cry of pure heart break.

My body wracked of sobs.

I yelled, wishing he was here. Here for me, like he always is and always has been. But not right now.

No, he was gone. And most likely dead.

I tried so hard to get the picture of his face out of my head. I thought of anything. Camp, Percy, Athena, Percy, home, Percy, the Second Great Prophecy, Percy, the days when we were running, Percy, Percy, Percy.

I have to stay strong, I thought. I have to stay strong for him. I have to.

I wiped my tears away, shakily standing up. "I will find you, Percy. I will. No matter what."

Over the next few weeks, I spent my time training and contacting everyone I knew to see if anyone had seen Percy.

But no one had.

Grover has been very helpful, spreading about Percy to the nymphs to see if they had seen him.

But no luck.

Thalia and her Hunters are looking everywhere.

No sign of him.

It's like he dropped off the face of the Earth.

No, stay positive. I thought.

Leo was busy building a warship for the Seven of the Great Prophecy, asuming it was us four and another mysterious three.

When it had been 7 months, 11 days, 13 hours, 12 minutes, 41 seconds and 56 miliseconds since Percy went....missing, I headed over to Bunker 9.

I knocked on the door, hoping that he was in there with something for me do. Leo didn't need any help because of his brothers and sisters, but he said I was welcome to help with the architecture if I wanted.

"Come in." A familiar voice said. I walked in to see the Hephaestus kids working on the huge ship. Leo, Jason and Piper were sittng around a desk, drinking hot chocolate and chatting.

"Hey Annabeth!" Piper said cheerfully.

Jason smiled at me. But then they noticed how bad I looked.

"Any luck in finding your boyfriend?" Piper asked, concern written on her face.

I shook my head and slid into a chair nearby.

"The great Percy Jackson." Jason said.

"We've heard lots of amazing stories about him," Piper said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. He's like a God." Jason said.

"He got that God, uh...." Leo stratched his head.

"Zeus." Annabeth put in.

He clicked his fingers. "Yeah, Zeus. He got Zeus' Lightning Bolt, defeated the Minotaur, survived the Sea of Monsters, rescued the Goddess Artemis-"

"Of course you would remember a girl, Leo." Piper said.

"Held up the sky, ran through the Labyrinth and led the Second Titan War and won. And he's a Son of Poseidon."

A tear fell at the memories of Percy.

"Oh Annabeth." Piper said and hugged her friend. They had become quite close if anything.

"Uh, sorry Annabeth." Leo said sheepishly.

"No no. It's okay guys. Just the memories." I said, not wanting them to feel bad.

"You know what though Annabeth?" Piper asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Don't ever give up on the person you love."

I smiled. "Thanks."

Jason got up. "Hey, uh, Pipes?"

Piper said, "Yeah?"

"Wanna, um, come for a walk?" He said, scratching the back of his head.

Piper blushed. "Sure. See ya Annie and Leo. I'll talk later."

I didn't even bother with glaring at her for the nickname. My heart clenched as I saw them walk out the door holding hands and brushing shoulders. I longed to do that with Percy. I had longed for it since I first started crushing on him...

"Annie?" Leo's hand waved in front of my face. "You okay?"

I shook my head. "Uh, yeah. Anyway, what can I do?"

He smiled. "Well, you can design the bedrooms...."

And for the rest of the day I worked, trying hard to keep him off of my mind.

"About 5 minutes until landing at Camp Jupiter, folks!"

Leo's voice over the loud speaker called.

I paced back and forth on deck, as nervous as ever. Hundreds of questions ran through my head: what if he can't remember me? Is he even here? What if he hates me? What if he has another girlfriend? Even worse: What if he's dead?

I was shaken out of my thoughts. "Wow!" Piper exclaimed from the railing of the Argo ll. "Annabeth, you have to see this!"

I walked over hesitantly. I looked over the edge, and what I saw took my breath away.

Camp Jupiter.

It was amazing. Beautiful tall buildings and columns were scattered around, like a city. A huge river in the shape of a 'G' was also below. Below us, there were hundreds of people. Demigods. But not just teenagers and kids, there were adults, even old people.

And they all wore purple.

My heart pounded as I scanned the crowd for him and we landed in Camp Jupiter.

The plan was that Jason would get off first, explaining that we came in peace.

But as the ramp was put down, my breath caught in my throat.

At the end of it was none other than Percy Jackson.

He was here. He was here!

All hundreds of pairs of eyes stayed glued on us and the huge warship.

He smiled that troublemaker smile and I melted.

I couldn't stop myself. I could faintly hear Piper and Jason cry, "Annabeth, no!" as I sprinted down the ramp, running into his open arms.

"Wise Girl!" He cried and spun me around, burrying his face in my hair. I took in his amazing sea salt scent that I missed and loved so much.

When he put me down, I had tears in my grey eyes and I stared up into his sea green ones.

Then....I grabbed is wrist and judo flipped him, putting my knee on his chest and I noticed the demigods around us tense and grab for their weapons.

"Hold!" I heard a strict voice say.

But I didn't care.

"You left me for 8 months!!! 8 MONTHS! Do you know what I have been through?! Crying myself to sleep every single night, trying and trying to find answers for where in Hades you were!"

Then he did the most stupid thing. He laughed.

"I know. I know, Annabeth, I am so sorry."

I stared at him and realisation dawned on me. "You-you remember me?"

He chuckled and sat up, one arm holding him up, the other carrassing my cheek.

He leaned in and our lips collided, my hands flying to his hair. Oh Gods, how much I had missed his lips on mine. They tasted a bit salty, but I didn't care. I didn't care about anyone else, just us.

When we broke apart, our foreheads touching, he whispered, "How could I ever forget you, Wise Girl?"

Okay everyone, I am so sorry about what happened before, it was glitching! Anyway, I think I might do Traite next, comment if you agree! Thanks for reading!
