A/N- Sorry, I am kind of new to this and I really didn't understand its rating pattern though you guys can tell me what rating it should be. And as for the story, I know it has been a little overdue but it is being continued now.
Chapter-7
Percy's P.O.V
Well, it was a rather stupid dare and at the same time very sensible. What I mean to say is that Annabeth and I have been fighting for the past month and I think our friends couldn't tolerate this so BOOM! They make us stay in the same room for the whole night.
We walked without uttering a single word for which I am very grateful but Annabeth wasn't the same. She looked very frightened. Then this really odd feeling came out of nowhere, I wanted to know what happened to her and was she alright but it was none of my business. She would just shove me off even if I tried to talk to her.
We reached the farthest room of the house and it was dark which made it gloomier than it was. I opened the door for her and she entered without giving me a glance. She switched on the light and went to the bed and sunk into her own thoughts.
I looked around the room; it was fine according to me. It had two single beds and television in the centre and the curtains covering the windows were covered with dirt. How can someone's own cousin do this to them? I don't know, ask Thalia.
I sat on the opposite beds and was surprised that this was the longest time I and Annabeth had gone off without starting another fight. I pulled the curtains aside and stared out for a while. There were lights everywhere and it made a rather spectacular view. I looked back at my temporary roommate and to my surprise she was sleeping peacefully. I switched off the light as it might disturb her.
The room without the light started to look like an empty pit like the Tartarus where the shadows haunt you. I lied down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.
I heard a sound of someone shivering and glanced towards Annabeth. I turned on the dim lights and saw that she was sweating terribly. She was muttering something under her breadth which I couldn't make out. I walked towards her bed and hoped that she would wake up from her nightmare.
She looked as if she had seen something so frightening that it haunted her soul out of her body. I held her hand which was very cold, but she relaxed her shoulders. I said her name softly and no sooner she woke up.
Annabeth's P.O.V
How could I be so stupid to accept that dare? What did Thalia have against me? Nevertheless, I walked down the hall with him. We reached the room and he opened the door for me. When did he become such a gentleman? I walked in without glancing at him and sat on the bed. I lied down and drifted to my thoughts. I began wondering if I was not present when the assassination happened? I would have looked at things a little differently than now. I don't know when but I fell asleep.
I was there standing alone on a narrow street. There was hardly a sight of any living creature. The street lights were hardly giving any light. You could just see the ten centimeters ahead of you, beyond that was nothing but darkness.
A man walked towards me, grinning evilly. I cried for help but my body was numb. I wasn't able to move a finger. It was as though I was in coma.
"Annabeth Chase" Just two words he said and they were enough to send shivers down my spine. He was approaching slowly and slowly as if he was preparing himself to kill me.
The man bought out a knife. A perfect shape the knife had. I started moving my toes to warm up my legs to run away as far as I could. Who wouldn't feel frightened if you saw the person murdering someone right in front of you to do the same?
I felt a shock of electricity go through me as I felt someone holding my hand, giving warmth. It was quite relaxing and somehow I felt stronger then I heard the voice of the most irritating person to ever walk on this planet
"ANNABETH"
I woke up to find Percy staring at me and was actually looking worried.
A/N- there was chapter 7 and hopefully you will be able to read chapter 8.
Review, follow and favourite. Please let me know how I have done so that there can be some encouragement to continue this story.
