Annabeths POV
Annabeth hated being a demigod. If she wasn't, she wouldn't be in this terrifing place. As she opened her eyes, she could feel the throbbing headache she had. Percys sword was still laying between them, acting as a night light. Annabeth looked to her right where Percy was, and saw he was still sleeping. She decided not to disturb him. Annabeth didn't know the next time they would be able to sleep.
She looked back up to the ceiling looming over her. Annabeth wondered how these tunnels were made. Who made them? Or what? She didn't really want to know.
Annabeth decided to think of a way to get out of here. Well first, they had to find the doors. That was top priority. But what would happen after? Annabeth never heard of someone going into Tartarus and making it out again. At least not without the help of a god or some serious powers. Annabeth didn't have either.
The only thing she and Percy could do was walk around. It wasn't like they had a map of the underworld. Maybe if Annabeth still had her laptop...
Annabeth lay there, staring up at the ceiling. Her thoughts were racing from one topic to the next.
Her friends. How they were going to get to the doors? Were they ok? Are they ok?
The Doors. How are they going to get to them? What will happen once their closed?
Will she and Percy get out alive? How are they going to get out alive?
Beside her, Percys breathing quickened. His head started to jerk from side to side. Annabeth sat up and turned towards him. She let go of his hand and instead put her hand on the side of his face. Percy put his hand on top of hers.
He must be having a bad dream, she thought. Percy eyes were squeezed shut. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. He bolted up and shouted, "No!" He looked around as if remembering where he was, then his head dropped and he was staring at the floor.
Annabeth came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She lay her head on his back. She could hear his heartbeat beating rapidly in his chest. Annabeth didn't say anything. She just waited until Percy was feeling better before she did anything.
After 5 minutes, Percy said, "Thanks. That really helped."
"Anytime."
Annabeth let go of Percys waist and stood. She helped Percy up and said, "But I should really be thanking you. My head feels a lot better now."
Percy kissed Annabeth on the cheek. "Anytime."
Annabeth smiled and said, "Come on. We should really be moving now."
"Where?" Percy asked.
"That's a good question. Since I haven't the slightest idea where the doors are, I say we just walk around and start from there." Percy smirked. "So it's like traveling through the labyrinth again?"
"Pretty much."
"Well then this is going to be a walk in the park then," Percy said. Annabeth smiled. "Come on," she repeated."We have a long 'walk' ahead of us."
Percy picked up his sword, leaving it uncapped so they could see. He laced his fingers with Annabeth, and together they walked into the dark.
Did that make sense? I read it over like a gajillion times, hoping it didn't sound stupid. I gave up and decided to ask you guys. Thanks :)
Review, please ;P
P.S: Somebody asked me if I was doing anyone elses POV besides Percy and Annabeth. The answer is: No. Because I'm just focusing on those two. If I add other characters, it's just going to be confusing for me. I don't know how Uncle Rick can do it and still make his books awesome and not confusing.
