I do not own PJO. We're all so very sad about it.
Phere's POV
I just found Trinity dying. This is scary! I have to get her to a child of Apollo in the infirmary; she could die if I leave her here! I pick up Trinity, she felt light, bony, frail, and gaunt, like she will fall apart if I hold her too hard. Her usually flushed face looked pale and death like. I stood there for who knows how long, just looking at Trinity. Then, reality slapped me in the face. I couldn't feel her heartbeat anymore.
Annabelle's POV
With all the commotion of the unconscious camper, Jasmine being stabbed, and apparently Trinity being mental-case, but then again, aren't we all? Demigods, I mean, not...what? Oh, forget it! Anyways, with all the chaos, and the Apollo campers being so busy, I never got a chance to visit my good friend Austin. He must be so busy, or not, I don't know if he's that good at healing. I've never actually been hurt when I'm around him. He always protects me. It makes me feel...guilty when I drone on and on about Nico, but...I miss him. When I reach the infirmary, it's chaos, it seems to me, that the camper that was unconscious has finally woken up. The Apollo kids told me that his name was Dae, and that he was Korean. Well, that's nice, you know, for a change of face. I was going over to meet him, when I heard a noise, like someone coughing with a REALLY barky cough, but then the cough turned watery and I heard someone groan.
"Could someone help me? Jasmine's body rejected the ambrosia and nectar and she threw up...AGAIN." I turned to see Austin wearing scrubs and holding a pink, plastic, Easter bucket in which Jaz was throwing up into. Normally, I would've laughed, the Apollo kids NEVER wear scrubs, especially not AUSTIN, but if they were, it wasn't good. I can't say I wanted to look, but when she was throwing up the 2nd time, she pushed Austin back and threw up onto the bed. Her vomit was chunky, golden, but also slightly red; my heart almost stopped. If anything, Jasmine was getting worse than before. She was throwing up blood. About a minute after I had almost hurled myself, I remembered why I was in the infirmary in the first place.
"Hey, Austin, what's going on?"
"Oh...hi, Annabelle...well, as you can see, Jasmine is vomiting blood, and she can't keep ambrosia or nectar down in her stomach." Stupid me, curse you mother for giving me blond moments! Of course Austin wouldn't give me the usual, oh, nothing much is going on, you? I mean, for Zeus's sake, EVERY single camper in the Apollo cabin is in the infirmary right now!
"Right...so...have you heard any news about our quest going to go get Nico? Has anyone heard from him?" Almost immediately, after I said that, I knew I'd said the wrong things. Austin's already tired perfect green/blue eyes with shiny gold flecks dimmed down to almost not even the usual bright eyes I kind of...like. But, I wasn't sure what ticked him off about what I said, I was just curious!
"Yeah," stated Austin, "Nice to see you too. If you want news, go ask the Hermes cabin. Or, better yet, go ask your boyfriend's cabin. If you excuse me, I have a life to try to save."
"What? Austin! What's the matter with you?" I was too late...Austin was already long gone. Dancia came over after almost being mowed over by Austin.
"Okay girl, spill. What did you say this time?" With a stutter and tears in my eyes, I told Dancia what had just happened. Why am I crying? I get into fights with my friends all the time! Only, this time, it felt like the end result...was final.
"Annabelle, Annabelle, Annabelle, everyone, but a certain brown-haired daughter of Aphrodite knows that Austin has the world's biggest crush on you! You know he sings, right? Well he wrote a couple of songs that could make #1 on the ratings list, and they are about you. I'm not trying to be a downer, but way to go." I felt like I was falling through the Earth's core. Dancia, one of the NICEST people I know, just gave me the cold shoulder. I've known Austin since we came to camp, no, before then. We have been best friends since kindergarten! I walked out of the infirmary, into the bright and beautiful sunshine. Sitting on the edge of the pier I started to cry. The tears came thick, fast and steady. Maybe I could commit suicide? Nah, that wouldn't work. Still...I'll make a mental note of that, later. I'm still wondering, though, why do I feel SO strongly against this fight? Is it possible? No...it couldn't be...but...maybe...could I really have boyfriend/girlfriend feelings for Austin?
Well...yup. I think so? I was possibly thinking about some PAIRINGS! Guess what my loyal readers and reviewers? THAT MEANS YOU GET TO VOTE ON COUPLES! Here are your choices:
Austin x Annabelle (They make up, become an OFFICAL couple)
Austin x OC (Ha, ha Annabelle would be JEALOUS!)
Nico x Annabelle
Phere x Trinity (Maybe? It could happen...maybe...i don't know...)
Everlyn x Phere (Hey, there are both dark and mysterious! In my opinion...)
Dante x Dancia (Sun and Fire/Hearth! She's kind, laid back and accepting, while Dante NEEDS people to accept him.) THERE WILL BE MORE PAIRINGS IF THESE ARE UNLIKED. EITHER WAY THERE WILL BE MORE!
