Sacrifice is Always Painful
Noooo! This is an awesome idea, but I'm going to cry while writing this. T^T I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! This is a Percabeth story, and I don't know why, but I'm a HUGE Percabeth fan. I don't even know why. I was nearly crying while reading The Son of Neptune. This story is about Percy- well, why don't I tell you?
RUMBLE.
The ground shook.
BOOM.
Dust and chunks of stone fell to the floor.
CRASH.
Pillars crashed to the floor.
SCREAM.
There was screaming everywhere. Panic. Shock. Fear.
Annabeth was trapped. A pillar was blocking her way. In the back of her was two enormous basilisks hissing. Percy and Grover were on the other side of the pillar, waving her franticly to move. Percy whispered something to Grover and pushed him to move along with the rest of the camp. A few more basilisks chased mortals. The pillar that is second closest to Annabeth shook and fell. Annabeth froze in horror. Percy's eyes widened. He took off, leaping over the pillar separating him and his girlfriend.
"Duck!" he cried. Annabeth fell to her knees, covering her head. Percy wrapped his whole body over Annabeth's, protecting her as best as he can. The pillar crashed over them, and a cloud of dust billowed up. After it disappeared, there was complete silence. Everyone either evacuated safely, or they died painfully. Percy and Annabeth weren't even moving. The ambulance roared in the distance.
The light dimmed. Chiron, Grover, Juniper, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Thailia, and Leo tensed. Annabeth jumped to her feet. The door opened, and the doctor came out, looking grim.
"Doctor! How is he?" Annabeth cried, desperate. He motioned to the door. Annabeth and Grover peeked though the door. There, they saw Percy hooked to all sorts of things that are trying to save him. Annabeth pushed forward. Grover just stood there, motionless in the doorway.
"No…," Annabeth whispered. She walked toward him. Percy tried to smile. He removed the inhaler thingy that covered his nose and mouth.
"Annabeth…," he croaked, holding his hand up. She took it. The others filed in, trying not to make a sound. "Hey… y-you guys…," Percy said, coughing. Juniper started dabbing her eyes. Piper leaned on Jason.
"You look horrible," whispered Grover hoarsely. Percy tried laughing, but it came out a cough.
"H-hey, don't worry… about me. I'm fine," he replied. Annabeth fell to her knees and pressed Percy's cold hand against her face. She shook her head.
"No you're not," she insisted.
"I'm fine."
"It doesn't look like it though."
"You got me."
"Told you." Chiron ushered the others out, and with one look back, he closed the door behind them.
After a while, after Percy got to talk to everyone, after Annabeth's huge crying fit, after all that, Percy's getting weaker.
"You're not leaving me," said Annabeth.
"I'm sorry." Cough. Percy started coughing uncontrollably. The doctor yelled orders to the nurses and other doctors, the others held their breaths, Annabeth shook her head franticly. The world literally started spinning faster.
"No. No! Percy, you are staying with me. With Grover. With Camp Half-Blood. You're not leaving us!" Then there was a long beeeeeeeeeeping sound. Then nothing else. Annabeth's eyes were wide. She held his hand against her face.
"No… please… Percy… No. No! No no no no no no! Please! Percy don't! No!" she kept repeating it, shaking. Tears rolled down her eyes. She laid her head against his chest, crying. Juniper was really crying. Thailia stood there, and a tear rolled down her check. Leo was shaking his head. Chiron looked grim. Hazel cried on Frank's shoulder, he looked down to his feet. Grover was bawling, Jason and Piper cried with each other. The window let light in after the clouds parted, over Percy, making everything gloomy. This was the day where most lives literally, ended.
I seriously hate myself. I always had a dream like this. And… wow. I WANNA CRY! It's not an oneshot, although it seams like it, it isn't. So sad! Review. Review. And… REVIEW! Review and I'll upload, or else I won't. Humph. REVIEW! (for the last time!)
