Authors Note: Not sure how long this will be. Probably only 3 chapters or so. Will be depressing, sorry. I've had an idea of this for a very long time.
Percy's heart had never depicted his feelings as accurately as it did in this moment. It was beating so fast, like it wanted to break out of his chest and fly right off Olympus. Anything to get away from what was about to happen. He knew he couldn't make her stay. The part of him that he knew was anger, wanted her to go. Why would he want someone who would even think about it? It was a massive betrayal. He couldn't bring himself to look at her in the eyes.
"If this is what your heart is telling you to do and it feels right, do it." Percy spat. "I'm not going to say the things that'll make you stay." Percy turned his back on Annabeth facing the giant marble doors that would lead out of the Olympian hall.
"Why not?" Annabeth asked in a small voice.
"Because it'll make you stay for the wrong reasons." Percy stole a glance back at her, he could see the pain in her eyes, which made him all the more confused. "I don't want your pity love." He snapped his head back to the door. She would not see him cry. Artemis stood in front of her throne with her hunters waiting for an answer. Thalia was skittish beside her hunters, looking as helpless as the creatures they hunted.
Annabeth had never been so confused in her life. She didn't know what she wanted anymore. Everything was moving too fast. She thought she had known what she wanted to do with her life, but all of that flipped upside down when Percy had popped the question. Not knowing what came over her, she thought that joining the hunters would save her from the pain. It was selfish, and she could never forgive herself. But it was the only way to give him a better chance. She silently turned to Artemis and accepted the oath. She took Thalia's hand and was ready for teleportation. She wouldn't let the tears fall. No one could see her cry.
Before Percy could turn around again. He saw the shimmering light and the evaporation of his life. In the blink of an eye she was gone.
