A/N: I am SOOOOOO TERRIBLY SORRY! OHMYGODS. I am the worst person in the world!
Annabeth POV
I stared out at the vast ocean in front of me. It was beautiful, the perfect shade of green and blue mixed together. Sea green. Like his eyes.
Percy.
I looked down at the white sand underneath my feet, tears falling freely. What had happened to him, I don't know. What's happened to me, I don't know. I haven't seen him in a really long time. I lost count of how many months I've been stuck here. Maybe it wasn't even months at all. Maybe it's been years. I wasn't complaining though. The island was beautiful. There was more than enough food and water for me to live on for a lifetime. My closet was full of the finest clothing in the world. But no matter how I looked at it, it would still be a prison to me. And the sea was the only thing keeping me away from getting back to him.
To my raven black haired, sea green eyed, strong and brave, yet careless and impulsive, Seaweed Brain.
I carefully walked to the edge of the water, letting the waves wash over my toes. My dress barely touched it, billowing away every time another wave came, as if it was teasing the water and saying "You'll never get to me; you'll never wet my fabric!" I let out a slight half-hearted laugh and sighed.
I have tried getting back. I've tried to swim back to him. Build a boat. I even went all out, designing a sling shot, which technically had no logic behind it since I was so desperate. I tried everything I could to get back. But every time I tried, there would be some sort of gravitational pull that would pull me back to the island. It was like I had no control over anything. And another strange thing was I felt as if I was floating. My footsteps were always light and when I moved; it felt like I was flying.
It was this that made me realise. It took only a few moments before my mind suddenly pieced everything together. Well, not everything, more like at least 1/6 of everything. I wasn't human. I was a spirit.
The first question that popped in my head was "How?"
And, as if I was two separate beings, I answered myself. "Arachne."
It was my entire fault. I wasn't paying attention! I was blinded by my own happiness. That wasn't like me at all.
Suddenly, I doubled over, kneeling on the floor, a huge killer headache erupting inside my head as the horrible day repeated itself to me.
FASHBACK
I linked my hands with Percy's as we went out and observed the damage. It was terrible. All the beautiful buildings collapsed rubble in its place. But I felt that I didn't need to worry about that yet. I had Percy next to me, and that's all that mattered.
We stopped at a clearing, still hand in hand. I felt strong. We defeated the giants. We defeated Mother Earth. We were victorious.
"I can't believe it… I really can't believe it!" I breathed out, a feeling of happiness spread through me, "We did it Percy! We did it!"
I smiled the biggest smile in the world. This one smile made up for all the other times when I didn't. I felt a tug on my waist as Percy pulled me to face him, humour dancing around in his eyes. His face was just inches away from mine as he whispered.
"Yeah, Wise Girl. We did it."
I looked up into those beautiful eyes of his and suddenly got myself lost in them. Just as I felt his lip touch mine, something sharp stabbed at my heart.
I screamed.
Percy let go of me, obviously startled by the sudden noise and turned around to see what it was. If I wasn't in so much pain, I would've slapped on the backside of his head for not knowing it was ME.
Before I could do anything, I felt a magnetic force pull me away from him, making me land on my butt. I struggled to turn back but I couldn't. The stabbing feeling in my heart doubled up as I scrambled to try get away. It was no use; whatever was pulling me was getting stronger. And then a glint on my leg caught my eye.
A spider's web.
I quickly pull out my dagger from where it was attached to my forearm and tried to cut it, but it didn't work. I shouted in frustration.
"Is the little daughter of the Oh-So-Mighty Athena having trouble?" an evil voice whispered as the tugging on my leg slowly stopped. I stood up and was face to face with a spider. A huge one.
Arachne.
"What do you want, Arachne." I spat out, making sure to sound as venomous as possible. She only laughed.
"Dear, dear, daughter of "Wisdom", I'm only here for one thing and one thing only." All of her eight eyes glared at me as she spoke the next word.
"REVENGE!"
I gasp as I doubled over, pain shooting through me as her eight eyes started glowing, staring deep into my soul. I couldn't stop myself from screaming again. She laughed evilly, enjoying every bit of my pain and suffering. Over my ear piercing scream, I heard Percy's voice calling me.
"Annabeth! Annabeth where are you!" I heard him call. I used all the power I had left in me to tell him to go away before it was too late.
"Percy! You need to get out of here! It's – ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I started shuddering violently as Arachne picked me up and held me in the most painful way possible.
"Good bye, Annabeth…" She hissed out wickedly before dropping me.
The last thing I saw was the golden glowing of her eyes before falling into an eternal slumber.
END FLACKBACK
I stood up from where I was, tears falling like a waterfall down my face, shuddering from how vivid it was. It was as if I was experiencing it all over again. I felt helpless. I felt like an insecure little kid.
I let one last tear drop and turned back around to the little cottage I was living in. Before going in though, I slowly turned around, watching the sun set over the horizon, waiting like I always did. It was always around this time where I heard his voice. As if on cue, I heard a small whisper in my head,
"I've given up on hope. I've given up completely. I've given up on the only person in the world who could keep me together and make me sane."
I blinked back more tears as I recognized Percy's voice. Has he really given up on me? My thoughts were cut short as another whisper filled my head.
"I'll be back tomorrow, Wise Girl. Have a good night."
"Come save me, Percy…" I managed to say aloud as the ball of light started going down slowly, "I love you…"
