Ch.2: Annabeth
My mind was racing, all I could think about was the fact that closing the doors of death from the inside meant trapping us in here. I noticed Percy looking at me with his eyebrows scrunched together in cute way, indicating he was worrying.
"Wise girl, I'll get us out of this don't worry." Percy told me. I really wanted to believe him, but the logic in my brain didn't see how it was possible. I watched with frustration as Percy started looking for my things. It really pisses me off when I can't do things myself, but I couldn't move because of my ankle. My dumb, stupid self should've known better than to jump like that. Again pride is a big fatal flaw for me, but usually I don't pull those seaweed brain stunts, I like to leave those to Percy. I had managed to distract my mind somewhat but it returned to its thought process on our doom.
No POV
Percy shouted to Annabeth, " Wise girl I found your knife, backpack, and laptop!"
Annabeth responded, "that's great seaweed brain."
While Percy found his wayback to her side Annabeth was deep in thought with a worried look on her face.
"Wise girl?" Percy asked loudly.
"What if we never are able to make it out, or we fail to make it to the doors of death alive Percy?" whispered Annabeth out loud.
Percy
I stood there dumbfounded. Annabeth never, never called me Percy anymore unless it was deadly serious. For the first time it really dawned on me that our chances of survival were extremely slim, especially considering the fact that we were in the place where monsters could not die. All I could do was stare worriedly at Annabeth, thinking how she didn't deserve this fate. All I think about was how mad I was at Athena for putting her favorite daughter in this situation. I mean for gods sake, it's just a goddamned statue! I couldn't help it my anger just kept bubbling inside, and it was all directed at Athena and Hera, because my life was great after the last titan war. But no, instead it was decided that I would have to go through another prophecy. This would've never started if Hera hadn't intervened! Why couldn't the gods just leave me alone so I can just live my life happily with my girlfriend?
I looked at Annabeth and sat close to her, wrapping my arms around her. " Annabeth, you and I, we are nearly invincible together. We are the perfect team. If we can't find a way out of this, then really no one can."
I pulled her close so she could rest her head on my shoulder. " I'll take the first watch."
Annabeth
I was slightly irritated. "If you think I'm am going to sit here and let you be some shining prince in armor and get us out of this while I just sit and look pretty then you aren't thinking clearly!"
Percy looked stunned to say the least, and then i saw him give me his trouble grin, and i sighed. "Wise Girl you don't need to try and sit there looking pretty, you always look beautiful without trying." Percy stated.
I rolled my eyes. "Seaweed brain. I know you are not trying to flirt with me in this situation because that would mean your mind is somewhere besides the battle."
Then as if not hearing the sarcasm in that statement, he leaned in close and kissed me! After a few moments of kissing i pulled away, "Seaweed brain your head is truly full of kelp." But i think I gave it away because , regardless of the situation, kissing him still made me smile and still gave me butterflies.
I stared into those sea green eyes and it seemed as if both of us were reviewing all the things we had been through together in our minds. Looking into his eyes I knew he was thinking what i was thinking. Our fate was most likely us dying in this place. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder, instantly falling asleep.
A little while later i felt Percy gently shaking me awake. I sat up and grabbed my knife from him, Knowing that we had to keep moving since staying in one place would defiantly mean felt Percy we were headed to our graves. I went to stand up but i couldn't balance to well since my ankle was still healing. All of the sudden I felt Percy lift me up bridal style, and if as knowing i was about to object, he smiled and whispered, " Wise girl don't argue. I will carry you and you use your knife to keep monsters from grabbing us."
I relaxed a little as we started walking in the direction of the doors of death.
