Hey everyone I am so SO sorry I have not up-dated in a while. This week I had a huge project due, and also we had testing this week so I couldn't write a new chapter even if I wanted to (which I did). So here you go, chapter 4.
Annabeth's POV
Me and Percy where running for our lives. We were in Tartarus, the worst place of the earth. Hundreds of monsters where chasing us. We were tire, hurt, and couldn't fight for much longer.
When I looked to see if Percy was still with me, I saw in fall to the ground. I tried to reach out to him, but a monster pulled him back, and stabbed him right in the heart. His scream filled my ears.
"Percy! No!" I yelled sobbing now
I heard a voice laughing in the distance, and a hand on my back. As I turned I saw a monster with a knife in one hand, ready to strike. The knife came down with excelling speed, it was about to hit my heart…"Annabeth wake up!"
I shot up in cold sweat, crying. My side exploded in pain, gripped my side I fell back down on my bed, and started to cry.
"Shhh, it's ok it was just a dream." I heard my mother say like always. Yes. My mother, as in Athena. I know your thinking that gods cannot get into their children's affairs, but apparently I was a special case, and well also my mother is Athena, and she can talk her way into anything. At first I wonder a lot why my mother wanted to take care of me, when I realized that she was only doing this so Percy would not have to take care of me.
"Its not real." I heard her say.
I would never respond though. I would just lie there, shaking, covers over my head, and cry. Most times this was how I would go back to sleep. I would wake back up from a dream, and the whole thing would repeat. Right now all I wanted was Percy. I wanted his strong arms around me. Him softly whispering in my ear telling me it was going to be ok. Me falling asleep in his arms, because with him I was safe.
I almost calmed down just thinking about him, but I realized I wasn't with him. I wasn't in his strong arms; he wasn't whispering in my ear, he wasn't with me. This only made my cry harder.
I must have looked like a mess, but I could care less. I wanted to be with Percy.
"Is there anything I could do?" She asked, like she always did.
"Percy…I want to be with Percy…" I whisper out.
"Sorry, I didn't hear that. What did you say?" My mother asked, acting like she did not hear me, even though I know she did.
I didn't repeat what I said, my heart hurt too much for me to say his name again.
I heard a knock on the door, and someone open the door.
"Oh, hey Athena, you want me to change her bandage?" I heard, I think Will ask.
"Ya sure go ahead." I heard my mother say.
"Alright, Annabeth you are going to have to sit up." I heard Will say, "And if you can't me and or your mother can help you."
I don't know why I did it, because it does not sound like me and it is not how I act. I was tired, scared, and I wanted Percy. Instead of trying to sit up, or asking for help, I curled into a ball and gripping my pillow. I grabbed another one to put over my head, to try and drown them out, and trying to hid my tears.
I heard one of them say something, but I could not understand them. I felt a hand on my shoulder, but that only made me tense more. In doing this my side was still in pain, but I didn't care.
After a while I fell back asleep.
"I will make your worst fears come alive, dear Annabeth." I voice said.
I tried to get up, but chains appeared on my arms and legs. I heard a door creek open, when I looked over from where the noise came from I saw thousands upon thousands of spiders coming out of the doors heading right towards me. I starting thrashing around trying to get free from the chains and looking for anything to help me.
"You can't get out. You will never get out." The same voice said
Now there were spiders crawling up my legs, on my hips and on my arms. I was screaming, and thrashing around. My screams where stopped short when the spiders came close to my mouth. The spiders where all over my face, the light quickly faded as the last spider filled in over my eyes….
I shot up screaming, instantly I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I ripped away from the hands grip, and hid under my covers, softly crying. My mother tried to get me to talk to her, but I wouldn't budge. After while she left, letting me be by myself.
That's how the next couple of days went too. I would have a bad dream, she would try to help, and I would lock her out. Any time Will came into change my bandage, or try to talk to me, I would just curl in a ball and hid under my covers. I didn't care anymore, I didn't care how weak I looked, I didn't care. For once, all I wanted was Percy. Not to sleep, not to heal, just to be next to Percy.
I shot up in sweat from yet another dream. My side exploded in pain, I gripped my side, and fell down on my bed, and put the covers over my head. The dreams kept getting worse and worse, not to mention I had not let Will heal my wound at all for the past couple of days.
I felt a hand over mine; I quickly yanked away, and turned my back to the person. I happened to turn on the side which I had gotten stabbed, and I yelled out in pain. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping to block out the pain. I felt the person move, in one swift movement the persons hands where on my waist turning me back to face them.
"NO! Stop!" I screamed at the person
"Annabeth, shhh, its ok." A voice said which I could recognize from anywhere.
My eyes shot open, "Percy."
Well there you go, chapter 4.
Again sorry for the wait, I should have the next chapter up either tomorrow afternoon, or Saturday morning.
