Annabeth
My shaking hands slowly closed his sea green eyes for the last time.
Breathe.
I closed my eyes.
Breathe.
That's all I could remember to do. All I could do. My mind was just an empty void of darkness. The pieces of once remained were all gone, as if burned to ashes and blown into the wind.
My trembling body slowly rose from the grass that lined Percy's cold body. I have to tell someone. I have to...my thoughts drifted off not knowing what to do. Clueless of my own actions.
I have no idea how long I stood there, looking at the sun slowly fall from the sky when Apollo flew across the sky.
I didn't even notice the people crowding around me, slowly gathering to take action.
"Annabeth," a solemn female voice spoke from behind me. I didn't turn, I didn't acknowledge it.
"Did you..." said another voice trailing off, male this time. Still I did not turn around. I couldn't, my body was not my own anymore. Not when it could be controlled that easily.
"Everyone, please leave. I wish to talk to her alone," a voice filled with authority said. Who's though, I did not care.
"Annabeth, how about we get you inside. It's getting dark and it's not safe here," it said again. I felt someone place their hands on my shoulders, like Percy does...did.
The person wrapped their arm around my body, before I noticed I was laying in my bed inside the Athena cabin. My eyes never closing. I could not bare to sleep knowing he will not be there when I wake.
Piper
He's dead.
I can't believe it.
First Jason now him...at the hands of Annabeth herself. According to the Athena girl.
"Is she going to make it?" I wondered, worried about my best friend.
"She's strong, though it will take time," Chiron answered.
"I don't get it. She killed him and yet she is so sad about it," Abbie thought.
"We don't know for certain if she did kill him," Leo replied, joining the conversation.
"I saw it," Abbie said, "the man told her to kill him, and she did not hesitate."
Chiron turned towards me.
"Charmspeak?" he questioned. I shook my head in thought.
"They loved each other, charmspeaks flaw is love. No matter how good or persuasive you are, love will always prevail," I replied. That means the only option is that she did it willingly...or that Abbie lied.
"It's getting late. I think we should continue this tomorrow," Chiron spoke sadly. I nodded and walked towards the cabins with Leo.
"Do you think she did it?" He asked.
"Not even for a second, you?"
"Same," he answered. I nodded at him and walked into the Aphrodite cabin.
