Ambition: A goal or objective that somebody is trying to achieve.
Summary:
Annabeth looks into his blue eyes. They aren't flaked with gold, like last time. She knows what he wants. He wants her to join him. At the same time, she knows that his gold eyes will be back and everything will change. He will be different. He won't be Luke anymore. He will be Kronos.
She steels herself and says the impossible word. She hates herself for saying it, but there is no choice. He cannot be trusted, not after everything.
"No."
(This is where the chapter really starts)
Helpless.
Vulnerable.
Hurt.
Pained.
Broken.
Oh, so broken.
He hits her. She has refused him. Now she must pay the price.
There's pain. There's agony.
Oh, the agony.
It helps. Or does it? She doesn't know. She doesn't know anything anymore.
Not broken. She's not broken. Broken sailed along a while ago.
Shattered.
She flaunts broken, but lies shattered.
Ambiguity.
Distress.
Indifference.
Numb?
So she wishes. She welcomes numbness, but she feels it. She feels everything.
Broken heart. Broken soul. Broken living.
She sees shapes; blurry shapes.
Hazy.
Vague.
Doubt.
Confusion.
At last she feels at least something – anything- apart from the pain. She feels confusion.
Consideration.
Darkness.
Gloom.
Shadows.
She sees something apart from the blackness. Shadows? She wants to see clearer but for a reason she can't.
Light.
Flicker.
She tries to concentrate, but it's fading. It stops flickering.
Darkness once more.
She feels herself falling.
Memory.
She remembers that light, that tiny flicker. If she has seen it once, why not once more?
Flicker.
Gleam.
Flash.
She sees it now. She can concentrate. She sees the shimmer.
Sparkle.
She tries to open her eyes.
White light.
Sightless.
Blind.
The light is too bright. It is blinding her. Everything is now white instead of black.
Shade.
Outlines.
Her eyes are slowly adjusting. She can make out a worried face. Does she know him?
She hears him murmur anxiously.
"Wise Girl?"
Green eyes stare at her. This boy is clearly radiates a sense of familiarity.
Then all at once it clicks in place.
"Percy?"
She feels as if a stranger is speaking. Since when does her voice sound like that?
"What did Luke want? What the Hades happened to you?"
In a daze, she tries to put the answer together in her head, but it's too much for her.
Darkness.
But she this time she knows, that she will not fall into the mist forever. She will wake up and do her duty, to the world.
