While Annabeth is stuck in Tartarus she decides to bitterly pray to her mother.

Disclaimer: fie fy fo fum I no own characters of the percy kingdom.

WARNING: Its pretty dark and sad. ( It can't always be Percabeth fluff stories all the time, they are in Tartarus for goodness sake )

"Hey Mom."

Annabeth took a deep breath, "Hey. Hey Athena. Or Mom, I guess."

"I uh know I haven't done this pray thing in a while. Kinda rusty, but... desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose," she smirked slightly.

Exhaling through her nose she started again, "I'm kinda in trouble. Um, I've been stuck in this hellhole for a couple of days now. And I don't know how much more I can take of this."

The blonde turned to look at her snoring boyfriend for a moment, "We wake up when we can't stand the nightmares. We go to sleep when we pass out from exhaustion. We fight until we bleed. And we only breathe because our bodies make us."

She paused, then stroked Percy's messy raven hair gingerly, "I don't know how you refuse to like him. I mean, just look at him mother!"

"Do you see that scar running down his left shoulder? That was when he battled snakes, with spikes! He was defending me," Annabeth shook her head, "Damn Percy, always there for me."

The grey-eyed girl glanced at the sky, "You know I'm not only praying for me. It's for Percy's safety too. You know he won't do squat to help himself. Gods I love him."

She paused, silence echoed off the damp, haunting Tartarus walls, "Why did this happen? Why did this have to happen, to us? Of all people this happens to us. The damned luckiest demigods of the century!" her voice raised in volume at those last words causing her boyfriend to stir in his sleep.

She went back to a whisper, "Look, I'm praying to you because I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I'm... done. I'm tired. I'm dirty and hungry and tired. And done. And even when I sleep I wake up tired. I'm not even sure If I'm alive sometimes because I'm constantly numb. Everything is just a daze now."

"I can't get a break. We can't get a break."

The demigod stared at nothing for a couple of minutes. Not moving. Barely blinking. Finally she snapped out of it and spoke, but looked void of emotion.

"I brought back your stupid statue. I'm not even sure if it got crushed or not. But I hope you enjoy the thing. -What a good for nothing quest.- You're welcome by the the way."

She wiped a fresh small tear from her cheek hurriedly. "If you aren't going to help us then please look over our friends. Just… please. But I guess they can't get more screwed than Percy and I over here."

The blonde girl adjusted her position against the wall of dark rock, she put up her hands to cover her face and aggressively scrubbed off relentless tears starting to stream down.

"I know you can hear me. I have no idea what the heck is going up there in Olympus, but frankly I have grown not to care. Just please Athena. Do something. Do anything…"

"...Help me"
