Chapter 7

Percy's POV
I tossed and turned, I couldn't sleep.
What did he mean? What did he want with her? I was scared. What was he going to do to her?
Deep down I knew why I felt like this.
I love her.
The easy part was admitting it to myself. The hard part was to tell her. But I knew I had to.
I tore my sheets off. I just started running. halfway down the corridor, I realised the time. I tiptoed down the corridor and up the steps that lead to the deck. I burst through the door and ran to the cells.
"Percy?" Beckendorf said clearly stunned by my appearance.
Shit, I forgot about Beckendorf.
"I couldn't sleep and I knew you were down here, I thought you needed a break," I'm not a bad liar. I created a new lie every week so I could sneak out to visit Annabeth. I was still worried that he would see straight through me.
He stared at me for a moment, shrugged then made his way up the steps. The minute I heard the door close I burst through the door of the cell.
She was curled up in the corner of the room. I crept up to the corner. Her hair draped across her face. I pulled her hair over her ear. I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding. She is so beautiful.
She began to stir and her eyes fluttered open.
"Percy?" Annabeth mumbled, she hoisted herself up, still half asleep. Her grey eyes, that almost seemed silver tonight, stared at me.
"Annabeth, I'm sorry, there's something I have been meaning to tell you," I finally had the courage to tell her, "I love You." She rested her head on my chest.
"I love you too," She stuttered, after hearing that I felt like the sky had been lifted off my shoulders.
Eventually, I drifted into a peaceful and dreamless sleep.
Percabeth!
