A/N: Yeah! Another chapter! New update speed record! xD Yea, I'm kinda random and child-like, just so you know, if you don't know yet. xDDD
So I didn't get any reviews on my last chapter: Bow...is it so bad that you don't even leave any comments? Well, I don't even mind flames. That at least means they have read my work. ^^ Oh, warning! This may be (both emotionally and literally) the worst chapter yet! xD
Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Dream
Annabeth's POV
It's like a dream,
a dream-come-true.
I thought…I thought, after all this time, I finally found someone who I can rely on, someone who I can have forever with, who we can, together, build something permanent.
Yes. We have faced death together.
Yes. We have saved the world.
Yes. We have…promised to be together…forever.
The Fates were fair. But reality is cruel. This world? It's a cruel one. Only one thing is certain:
A demigod's fate is never easy.
I've always looked at the bright side. I've always smiled at the "now". I've always tell myself that this could be it, that this could end well, or as well as a demigod could be. But the truth is, being a daughter of Athena I've always had a lot of space in my mind to think about this, to worry over little details here and there. The truth is…
I've always been worried. I've always been thinking. I've always had that little drawer in my mind that always remind me that this is not the end, this is not over, and this is not likely to be a happily ever after story. This is no Disney story.
Then the unthinkable happened – he disappeared.
We were on the beach, that night. The wind was blowing softly and the waves were crushing lightly onto the sand. Stars shined brightly against the velvet dark sky, silently speaking the stories of old. That was our night of peace, finally we got some time together, and finally we could have a greedy wish of a better future.
That time of joy and peace didn't last very long. For I found myself searching all over camp, asking every single person, looking out for any threads the next day. My boyfriend disappeared. He just did. Percy Jackson, the bravest and stupidest guy ever, disappeared. He's not dead, at least that's what Nico said, and I believed.
And so I didn't sleep. I didn't rest, even a second. For every second, he went farther and farther, until I couldn't reach him. So I didn't dare let myself stop. But still I couldn't reach him, couldn't find him.
But he's alive. He's just not here. That's my only hope. If I try hard enough, I can be with him once more. I just wasn't trying hard enough.
I had dared myself to believe. I did. I do. And I'm still going to believe. He's my only hope now. We've gone too far and there is no turning back. Since that day I met him, it was all set. It's destined, we're destined to be heroes, and we're destined to go through tough fates.
How I hope all of these are just a dream.
But no.
Unfortunately,
It is not,
And it will never be.
A/N: um...bad, huh? I think some of you may know that I took ch1 as the night before Percy was gone, coz when I write this, it makes me thought back on ch1. So I reread it and since I didn't really set a particular time (coz it wasn't necessary, just know that it was when they're together), I thought that it can very well be the night before Percy's gone. ^^
Review please~~ Or you can pm me if you wanna chat or whatever~ You're always welcome! I hope I can get the next chapter up soon~ ={D
