Hello my lovelies! I extremely apologize for the late update, I've been worrying about school and i haven't gotten much of a chance to update. And because I've been writing an Ed Edd n Eddy fanfiction, so anyway please don't be mad and enjoy this chapter!
A few weeks had flown by and I had gotten adjusted to the regular routine around the camp. Grover had finally convinced me to sleep in the cabin with my 'sisters' after I had slept outside for the first week. And Annabeth and I had spent a lot of time together; I couldn't help it we got along really well.
I was lying on my bed in my room away from all of the pink and girly and played on my laptop, I was on YouTube and I was looking up violin videos. A secret about myself that no one in the world knew was that I loved to play the violin, I had my own violin that I bought with Christmas and birthday money and I would play it whenever I was home alone.
I had taught myself to play with how to videos online and learned in an instant. I hid my violin under my bed just in case any of my 'sisters' decided to barge into my room and snoop around. I looked outside and the sun was starting to set, everyone would be at dinner around this time and I wasn't really hungry so I got off of my bed and took my violin case out from under the bed.
I looked down at it with a smile and whispered "Hey old friend, how you been?" I stuck the case under my shirt and slowly opened the door, I peeked out into the rest of the cabin to make sure the coast was clear and thankfully it was.
I looked out the window and spotted the cliff that Annabeth, Percy, Luke, and Grover had dragged me to. I cautiously left the cabin and made sure that everyone was at dinner, I then made my way up to the cliff and stopped when I reached the top.
I walked to the middle of the flat space and set the case on the ground; I opened it with a click and took out the beautiful instrument. I stood and placed the violin on my chin; I took in a breath and started to play. I played Lindsey Stirling's violin version of The Phantom of the Opera and was immediately taken out of the normal world and into the music world.
I had watched every single one of her videos and memorized the music by heart; I then practiced whenever I got the chance and became a natural within a few months. As I played I used the whole flat cliff space as my stage and twirled as I played, the sunlight from the setting sun hit my skin like a warm kiss.
A cool breeze blew past me and blew my hair behind my back, the trees the surrounded me flew by in a flash of green as I twirled and the smell of pine made its way into my nose. I smiled and completely forgot that I was in the real world, it was like I had been put into a trance as soon as I started playing.
Nothing else in the world matter to me when I was in this state and I didn't notice anything that happened around me.
Percy's POV
Luke, Annabeth, Grover and I finished eating dinner and suddenly the thought of Sam came into my mind. I looked at Grover and asked "Have you seen Sam at all today?"
"Nah, I haven't seen her all day." Grover replied
I looked at Annabeth and Luke and asked "What about you two?"
"I saw her at breakfast but that was it." Annabeth replied and Luke asked "You guys wanna go see if she's in her cabin?"
"Sure" I replied, we all got up from our table and headed over to Aphrodite's cabin. Grover knocked on the door and it slowly opened, he poked his head inside and yelled "Hello? Is anyone in here?"
There was silence, so we walked in and made our way to Sam's room. The door was open and the room was empty "Well she's not in here so where could she be?" I asked.
"I don't know but I'm starting to get worried, it's getting dark." Annabeth replied
Suddenly Grover told us all to be quiet; he listened for a moment and asked "Do you guys hear a violin?"
We all listened and heard the faint sound of a violin being played, "Yeah I hear it but it's really faint." I replied. Luke looked out the window and looked at the cliff "Hey guys I think it's coming from the cliff." We ran over to the window and I saw a small figure and asked "Do you guys think that's Sam?"
"I don't know but we better go check." Grover replied. We all ran out of the Aphrodite cabin and made our way to the cliff. As we got higher the sound of the violin grew louder and louder with each step we took. When we finally reached the top we stopped and stared at the figure I saw, it really was Sam.
She twirled all around the cliff space as she played her violin; I thought to myself I didn't know she played the violin. She didn't really seem like the type of person to play the violin but here she is, playing it like she's a pro. I didn't know what happened to my mind but I kept thinking that she looked beautiful. The way the setting sun shined off of her smooth skin and the way she twirled almost took me into a trance of just her.
Sam's POV
I had started playing another one of Lindsey Stirling's songs Crystallize and I had reached the end of it, the sun had pretty much set so I finished up the song and stopped at the edge of the cliff. I finished the last notes and put the violin to my side; I caught my breath and put the instrument and its stick on the ground next to my foot.
Suddenly I heard the sound of clapping and I spun around with wide eyes only to see Grover, Annabeth, Luke, and Percy. Percy walked to me and said "You never told me that you played the violin, you're really good."
I took a small step back and my cheeks turned a bright shade of pink why must he so cute?! I thought to myself. I took another small step back and tried to speak but only stuttered, suddenly I felt my foot fall and it took my whole body with it.
I had stepped back a little too much and the edge of the cliff that my foot was on had crumbled and I fell back off of the cliff. As I fell it felt like I was in slow motion, my arms were stretched out and Percy ran to grab my hand but he wasn't quick enough.
I fell fast to the lake and hit the water with a loud splash, the splash echoed throughout the camp and everyone ran to the lake to see what it was. I would have been fine; it just would have hurt my back really bad, except there was a little detail that I missed. I couldn't swim.
I flailed my arms and kicked my legs and tried my hardest to stay above water but it was no use, I sank down under the water. I had inhaled a mouthful of water in the process. Percy quickly jumped off of the cliff and fell down into the water, I sank about 30 feet and I had lost my breath. My lungs were straining and I started to lose consciousness, the water was dark and I couldn't really see anything.
I slowly slipped out of consciousness and my eyes closed, I was then a dead weight that sank to the bottom of the lake. Percy swam down into the blackness after me and saw a gleam of light; the sunlight that was left had shined off of my belt and gave Percy a perfect location to where I was.
He quickly swam down to me and wrapped his arm around my waist; he hoisted me up as he swam to the surface and took in a gasp of air when he reached the surface. He swam to the beach with me in his arm and laid me down on the sand, everyone crowded around us and Percy hovered over me.
He put his hands on my chest and lightly pushed, he then pinched my nose and put his lips to mine and breathed into my mouth. He repeated this a few times while saying wake up in a worried voice, I started to come back to consciousness and I felt a pair of lips on mine.
I coughed and water spit out from my throat, I opened my eyes and saw Percy's face close to mine. He sighed in relief and hugged me, I coughed again and my cheeks turned a bright red. He whispered into my ear "I'm so glad you're alright, that was a close one wasn't it?"
He pulled away and continued to look at me with a smile, I looked around and noticed all of the campers and asked "What just happened?"
"Percy just gave you CPR." Said a girl with short black hair, I looked back at Percy and a small blush spread across his. He scratched the back of his head and smiled, my face turned a darker shade of red and I thought to myself well that was diffidently not a way that I thought I would have my first kiss.
Luke and Annabeth ran through the crowd and Luke gave Percy two towels, he wrapped a towel around himself and wrapped the other one around me. Annabeth helped me up and put her arm around me "Come on; let's get you dried off and out of these wet clothes."
