Annabeth shoved Thalia away and started sprinting, not even bothering to answer when Thalia called for her. Mania had her boyfriend. And she was going to get him back.

"I'm going with you!" Thalia yelled, grabing her silver bracelet.
"NO!" Annabeth shouted. "I'm doing this alone!"
"Percy's my friend too!"
"But he gave up his life for me, I won't risking losing someone else that I love!"
"I'll just follow you" Thalia whistled and another pegasus apeared.
Thalia was quiet. "Will you at least take my bracelet?" she whispered.
Annabeth nodded, "Of course."
Thalia smiled. "Okay," ahe said, and handed Annabeth the bracelet. "Thanks," Annabeth said.
"Thanks, Thalia." smiled Annabeth. She ran off the direction that Mania was hidden, with her boyfriend.
Thalia sighed, and waved after her friend.
"To Percy, Blackjack!" Annabeth said
"To Percy, Blackjack!" Annabeth said
Blackjack nodded and took off like a bullet. Annabeth was on her way to Percy. She grinned in exhilaration and scratched Blackjack when he let her down. "Thanks buddy!" she called, and ran up to Mania's lair.She pounded on the door. "I WANT MY BOYFRIEND BACK, AND I WANT HIM NOW, YOU B-"
"Well, well, Annalyn," said Mania, opening the door.
Annabeth glowered. "My name is Annabeth, and I want Percy back, now.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're a bit too late for that." She grinned menacingly
Then, she caught sight of Percy, alive and well, but beat and chained to the wall. She breathed a sigh of relief. "You're alive, "
"For the moment," he replied, giving a tired grin.
"Why did you bring him back?" Annabeth said suspicously.
"Well, my dear, you can't get information by torture if he is already dead," Mania replied.
"T-t-t-orture?" Annabeth stuttered.
Percy looked at her. "I'm fine," he promised.
Annabeth glowered at Mania, but the world was turning dark and she felt a pain in her side. She yanked up her shirt to find almost all of her abdomen black.
Percy's eyes widened. " No, " he choked in disbelief.
"Percy," she gasped.
"Annabeth!" Percy yelled. He fought against his chains, but he couldn't get free, "Stop it! I stayed now let her go!"
"I didn't do it," Mania said, mildly amused. "She bears the curse. It is killing her."
"Save her! I'll do anything, just save her!"
"I can't," said Mania.
"I can't," Mania snapped. "Please, let me go to her, please-" he broke off, choking.
"She is dying, there is nothing you can do about it." Mania said coldly.
"There has to be something, please!"
"There has to be something, please!"
"It's the curse of Hades, " snapped Mania.
"Hades? What does he have to do with this!?"
"He is the one who cursed you.The curse is brought upon those who have felt the hand of death,
And have suffered their fears in Hades breath
It will spread it's mark of end, black as night,
Until a sacrifice cleanses it white."
"A sacrifice will save her?" Percy clarified
"Yes," Mania said, confused. "But-"
"Obviously"
Percy's brow furrowed. "A sacrifice," he repeated. "What kind of sacrifice?""A big one, obviously," said Mania impatiently.
"Big meaning..." Percy prompted
"Death, for example."
"Death..." Percy had a bad feeling he knew exactly what kind of death
"Death. Die. Live no more. A life for a life."
"A life for a life..." Percy echoed, "If I give up my life to Hades, will that save her?"
"Yes," said Mania. "Why would you give your life?" she mused.
"Annabeth's everything to me, I can't just let her die because I got myself into this mess." Percy said brokenly, "I love her too much."
Suddenly Annabeth groaned, the blackness rising up her neck. Percy started at her in shock. "It looks like you have a matter of minutes left before she dies," said Mania.
"What must I do to save her?" Percy asked, yanking against the chains.
"Why would I tell you that? You are my prisoner," said Mania, and then she disappeared into nothing.
"Stop! Wait! Come back!" Percy yelled, "Annabeth, just hang on, I'll get you out of here!" Percy pulled and strained at his chains.
"Hades! HAdes get your godly butt down here!"
"Hades! HAdes get your godly butt down here!"
"WHO DARES MAKE FUN OF THE GOD HADES?!?!?!?!" boomed a voice.
"I should have guessed," snapped Hades voice. "What do you want, son of Posideon?"
"Kill me!"
"That sounds very inviting," said Hades, "but whatever for?""It's Annabeth- your curse, it's killing her. I would like to..." he swallowed. "Like to take her place. Please."
"Hm... I don't know, Jackson. Poseidon would have my head."
"Can you remove the curse?" Percy asked, hoping Hades would just sight and do some of his wierd godly magic.
"Please." Percy begged him. "You hate me. You want to kill me, please. Tell me what I have to do, please, she only has minutes ....." he choked.
"I can see that! Her life force is slipping away as we speak!" Hades snapped, "I can't just take the curse away!"
"I know. I have to sacrifice myself. Tell me what to do, please."
