I was bored. Sorry for out-of-character-like actions. And for being depressing. Enjoy!


Annabeth's POV

"The doors!" I yelled to Percy, my eyes brimming with tears of joy. I shuffled faster, leaning heavily against him due to my broken ankle. We were a mess: our clothes were torn, and what was left of it was caked in dirt and blood. Percy's sword arm had a long, deep cut on it, and he had a large bruise above his right eyebrow. I still had a giant headache from an earlier head injury, but hopefully Percy didn't notice; he had enough to worry about.

We hurried towards the doors, but stopped abrubtly when we saw numerous shadows lurking by the doors. We simultaeneously whipped our weapons out; Percy, his sword, and me with my knife. But my heart leaped into my throat when I recognized six farmiliar figures. "Percy," I breathed, "It's them!" I finally let the tears fall. "They're on the other side of the doors!" Percy smiled, but not his usaul, full, heart-melting smile. I was too excited and relieved to wonder why, as I let go of Percy and ran right up to the doors. They all noticed me and waved furiously, hugging and crying in joy. Percy caught up and hugged and kissed me. When we broke apart, he said "I love you, Annabeth," he embraced me again. I lay my head on his shoulder. "I love you too, Percy," and I meant it. I loved my Seaweed Brain, and he loved me back. I ran through the still open doors into the welcoming arms of my friends. But a heart-wrenching, recurring thought hit me. I hesitated. "Wh-who stays behind?" I couldn't stand it if anyone was left behind. Maybe we could figure something else out. I looked up at everyone, but they were all suddenly very interested in their shoes. "I'm really sorry, Annabeth," Piper said sadly. What? What did she mean?! I whipped around to face the doors and saw Percy beginning to close them. "I'm gonna miss you, Wise Girl,". No, no, NO! I sobbed and ran towards the doors, the rest of the group trying to restrain me. Nico and Hazel had already closed the doors on our side. I collapsed to the ground, defeated, not knowing of I could go on with my life without him.
