PERCY
Percy and Annabeth fell for what seemed like an eternity. The sliver of sunlight still shining in from the opening above was shrinking quickly. He held Annabeth tightly, refusing to let go. He never wanted to lose her again. Annabeth's eyes were squeezed shut. Percy couldn't stand to see her upset. He once again felt a sense of pride in knowing that Annabeth had accomplished a task that countless others had failed at through the ages and outwitted a giant spider despite her arachnophobia, all with a broken leg.
Eventually they landed on the hard, rocky ground. They were surrounded by complete darkness. He helped Annabeth fix her makeshift ankle brace that had begun to come off during their fall. Then they sat there in silence, pondering what they would do next.
