Hey, guys! UnderwaterPercabeth here! So sorry I haven't been updating on this account in a while. I haven't really been working on Percy Jackson stories, mine are more original right now; original characters, plots, etc., etc. I thought about this idea when I heard the song "Young Volcanoes" by Fall Out Boy. Currently my most favorite song.
This chapter is just a setup for later chapters. The plot/ meaning of the song will be in the next chapter. As always, relax, read, and review!
"We're the beginning of the end… Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds. It's all over now. Before it has begun. We've already won!
We are wild! We are like young volcanoes!
We are wild! Americana, exotica, do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?"
I sang under my breath as I worked on my laptop. Percy was on guard duty tonight, and I promised him that I would stay up and wait for him to be finished.
Just as I was singing the last verse of the song, I looked up, and there stood my boyfriend in the doorway.
"Hey, beautiful! I didn't know that you had the great of a voice!"
I blushed, as he knew that I didn't like to be flattered. Especially by him.
"Sorry. I just love that song."
"Don't apologize. Now," he came and sat next to me on the bed, and once he was close enough, I leaned against him, placing my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "Why is that your favorite song? I've only heard you ever listening or singing to that song since this quest started."
"I love that song because, Percy…" I paused, tilting my head up to look into his deep, sea green eyes that I loved so much, "This quest is hard. This quest is the hardest we've ever been on. Ever. And I…. I can't help but feel like we may not get out of this alive. I... we… we just can't afford to have those thoughts. Especially now. Especially not against an enemy as powerful as Gaea. That song is just so inspirational. Because even though this war is nowhere near over, we have to have the perspective that we've already won. We can't afford to lose. It's not just our lives that hang in the balance this time. This whole world will die if we don't stop her. Before this war has even begun, we've already won. Because we will win. Because we have to win."
"Wow…." Percy blinked multiple times, "That was… uh… That was really deep, Wise Girl."
I giggled, and then laid my head back down on Percy's chest, then said, "Now goodnight. I'm tired."
"Goodnight, Wise Girl."
