Together.
She was lost in a void so deep that she couldn't climb out again.
No, she could.
She could.
…
"Percy," he sticks out his hand, mussed hair and a cheeky smile.
…
They spend too much time together. They don't see each other enough. She wanted more, more, more.
…
He made a mistake, but it's too much, and it sends her falling back down.
…
"Help".
…
You're the villain, he's the hero. Opposite. They don't fit.
…
"Can I help?"
Maybe he can, Annabeth.
…
Trust him.
…
He's growing on her, slowly.
Slowly is better than nothing.
…
She hasn't smiled in a long time.
…
"Your smile is beautiful"
She vows to smile more.
…
His hands are soft but strong. Reassuring. Protecting.
Maybe she's happy now?
…
His lips match his hands, but are far better.
She never wants to let go – maybe he's pulling her out of the void.
Don't be stupid.
…
"I love you".
…
She doesn't know if the feeling inside is happiness; she hasn't felt it in so long.
…
"You are a princess. I am the hero. We match"
We match.
…
The light burns how eyes as she's finally released.
…
She can see better now.
She can see that he's perfect.
Perfect.
Is there such a thing?
…
"You're perfect".
"I'm not-"
"You are".
…
Love. Home. He feels like home.
He is home.
…
Where's he gone?
…
Missing.
…
He doesn't want her.
…
He does. He does.
…
Maybe he doesn't remember?
…
He does.
…
But –
…
He-
…
No.
…
He's gone.
…
She's not climbing, she's

Is that…?

Him.
…
He doesn't remember.
…
He does.
…
He…

Remembers.
…
Is it his lips that bring her back?
No.
It's just him.
…
The void is gone.
The void is n.
…
"We're staying together.
You're not getting away from me.
Never again.
As long as we're together".
…
She's not lost any more.
