Heart Attack
A/N: Hello, my little readers! This is the first Fan Fiction I am going to publish, so please, don't trow tomatoes at me if it's not so good. Since this is my first story, I'm going to introduce myself: My name is Mary. Actually, it's Mariana, but you can just call me Mary. If you're thinking my name is strange, well... it isn't in Brazil, that is basically where I'm from. And you may think it's strange a Brazilian girl write stories on English, but truth is, I don't know why the Hades I was born here. I mean, Brazil has a very hot weather (Most times actually, because here at São Paulo it's impossible to figure it out if it's going to be hot or cold. In the moment, it's cold, and I'm just loving it!) and I like cold weather, I don't like the typical music from Brazil that much and I hate Portuguese, I like English and I would die to go to London! But enough about me. Hope you like my story and please review.
xx - Mary
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I'm not the best writer ever (AKA Rick Riordan) so yeah... I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or anything related to it.
Annabeth had an awful dream. She was running towards a cliff. But don't worry, she wasn't nuts. Annabeth wasn't going to jump. She was going to stop someone to do it. Who? The same boy that helped to save her life. The same boy who she loved once. The same boy that betrayed her. Luke Castellan. And know he was dead. But no matter what, Annabeth kept having these dreams about him. She was almost reaching him when it happened again. He turned around and looked at her. The look in his eyes had so much fear, that it made Annabeth's legs stop moving. 'No! Don't move, Luke!' she screamed. She didn't know if he heard her yell, she liked to think he didn't, but he jumped. And with that happy dream, Annabeth woke up.
- Annabeth! Wake up!
Annabeth slowly opened her eyes. She took a few minutes to see thing straight. The bright sun light didn't help much. When she did it, she saw herself on her cabin, laying on her bed, with her sibling around her. They all had worried faces on. Annabeth then realized that Malcolm was the one shaking her earlier, and he was the one yelling too. She sat on the bed and drank a sip of water from the cup that her sister Lauren gave to her.
She then took some deep breaths to calm herself. She looked up to her siblings.
- It's okay, I'm fine. - she said but even herself didn't buy it. Her brothers and sisters didn't believe her, but they let it go. I was happening a lot, almost every night, yet, don't matter what they did or say, Annabeth wouldn't tell them what it was. So after a week trying, they gave up. Annabeth got up, took a shower and changed into a pair of shorts, an orange camp T-shirt and black sneakers. The usual. Nobody protested when she went out to run. Chiron and the others tried to talk to her and convince her to take some rest. She hadn't sleep well, and didn't rest for quite a while. She was running on the beach when she heard someone behind her.
Before she could turn around to see who it was the person, she saw her Seaweed Brain running beside her. WHOA! Hold on for a minute! Did she just thought her Seaweed Brain? HER?!She mentally slapped herself for thinking about those things when she's around him. It's not like it was her fault anyway. Percy's the one to blame. She wouldn't think those things if he wasn't so cute and caring, and funny, and if he didn't have those sea-green eyes of his. Gods! Control yourself Annabeth!, she thought.
- Fell from the bed, Wise Girl? - he asked, smirking.
Annabeth smiled.
- I should be the one asking. Percy Jackson, up before ten? That's new.
(A/N: I know ten a.m. is not that late, but they have curfews on camp, so... yeah. Let's just play pretend, okay?)
He looked at her with a sarcasm face.
- Ha ha. Very funny. Annie. - he said smirking at the last part. As he expected, her face turned red with anger. One tip: Don't ever call Annabeth 'Annie'. Only if you want to end with a black eye. In that case, go ahead and feel free to offend her mother too, then you'll get a broken arm or leg. If you're lucky. Percy thought she was going to be angry, but she didn't, because she stopped running.
When he turned around, he saw her with a hand on her chest and the other on her knee. He ran towards her and knelt next to her. He put one hand on her back and put the other on the top of her hand. He thought he had felt her tense up when he did that, but it lasted only one second, so he thought it was only his brain tricking him.
His Seaweed Brain, as Annabeth would say. He would never admit it to anyone, but he liked the nickname. To him, it was a sign that she did care for him, even if it was just a tiny bit. That was the one thing that stopped him from giving up. Give up on what?, you ask. Give up on the love he felt for Annabeth, give up on all the years that he tried to get her to love him, give up on her, give up on them.
He was starting to get preoccupied. She was getting really pale, and she even appeared... weak. It was strange to see Annabeth this way... weak. Annabeth was a lot of things. Smart? Definitely. Pretty? Always. Stubborn? That's for sure. But weak? That just didn't fit her. He helped her to stand.
- Annabeth, what's wrong? - he asked, his voice full with concern, and she kind of liked that. She was about to slap herself mentally for thinking that, but she was starting to see a few black spots.
- I... - she began to say, but then, she blacked out. Percy caught her in the last minute. His first instinct was to freak out. But he didn't. No. Annabeth needed help, and he would help her. He picked her bridal style and carried her to the beach. I know what you're thinking, he should've taken her to the infirmary, but Percy had a crazy idea. But yet again, all of his ideas were crazy.
He went to the sea. It was again, a crazy idea, he was basically about to ask his father to heal his enemy's daughter. But this was Annabeth, he thought. So he had to try. Percy dived into the ocean with Annabeth in his arms. An air bubble formed around the two teenagers. He went deeper into the ocean and stopped.
To anyone else, the two of them would be in a random spot in the ocean. But Percy knew that that spot was important, it was a connection spot. He closed his eyes and started praying to his father.
Hi Dad. Huum... I know I didn't talk to you for a while, but I need to ask you a favor. It's Annabeth, she suddenly and... I don't know why I didn't just take her to the infirmary, but I just felt like it was a bigger problem. Like any medicine or even the Apollo's kids magic couldn't help. So... I guess... No. I'm sure. I need to save Annabeth.
An for a horrible moment... nothing happened.
A/N: Well, this is the first chapter. I'm pretty proud of it, but I think the second will be a bit more interesting and bigger. So.. I'm going to post the second chapter as soon as possible. PLEASE REVIEW, it would make my day. Critics are welcome too. I mean, if it's going to help me to be a better writer, then hell yeah, send me all the critics you want! I know this chapter is a bit cheesy, just a bit, but yeah, I like when Percy tries to be romantic and Annabeth just makes things harder for him. I think it's just the most adorable relationship ever!
