Chapter 3-Annabeth
"I just can't lose you Percy," I concluded. He knew about the dreams, but this was the first time I had ever been at his grave. My eyes started to sting and I could feel the tears trying to brim over, but I managed to hold them in.
"Hey," he whispered, "I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. I promise." The sincere look in his eyes calmed me instantly. In the back of my mind there was this nagging feeling that kept telling me to beware, but when I was with Percy I was able to ignore it.
"Thank you. I missed you," I confessed. The only time we get to see each other is when he doesn't have school and I don't have work, which is not very much. I don't know how I'd survive without these phone calls everyday.
"I bet I missed you more," he yawned. It was about 2:30 now, and we were both only hanging on by a thread. His breathing was starting to slow, so I knew he was on the brink of falling asleep. My arms were wrapped around his neck and they were loosening as I was losing consciousness.
"Nuh uh" I argued. He didn't respond so I concluded that I had won this argument. However, I soon lost to sleep, and my eyelids slipped shut. I slept free of nightmares, content to be in Percy's arms.
This chapter was shorter than I thought, sorry guys! And yes, I do try to update as much as I possibly can. I just don't like waiting forever for someone to finish a story, so I'm trying not to be like that :) Thank you so much for the reviews!
