LOOK I'M UPDATING AGAIN!
GET YOUR TISSUE BOXES READY EVERYBODY! YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM!
CHAPTER 25 - BEATRIX P.O.V.
My eyes opened to blinding light. Well, the light wasn't so blinding it was just the morning. I sat up groggily and turned to look at the time. 9:00 A.M. The older kids probably left on there quest. I've always wanted to go on a quest, but I would never leave Winter. Winter doesn't believe in violence.
Hazel was at the door. "You guys better get going Annabeth is waiting."
"Okay!" Winter exclaimed. Winter is world number one morning person.
I got dressed, and Winter and I walked to the mess hall together.
"Good morning girls," said Annabeth.
"Morning!" Winter said excitedly.
"Good morning," I said.
"You, girls ready to go?" Annabeth asked as she set down her cup of coffee.
"Yes!" said Winter.
"You have to bring at least one weapon. Nemesis's allies are still out there."
"Please be careful Wise Girl," Percy stood up and kissed her.
"Wait!" Leo stopped us, and handed us earpieces. "You never know if you're going to need these."
"Thank you Leo. We'll see you guys tonight," Annabeth said.
"Bye guys!" said Winter.
We walked off the ship. Winter has never been happier. She is always extremely happy.
"What do you want to do first?" Annabeth asked.
"ICE CREAM!" Winter nearly shouted.
"How about you you Beatrix?" she asked.
"Ice cream!" I smiled.
"Ice cream it is."
"OMG! LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!" Winter started jumping up and down.
"Calm down, Winter," Annabeth smiled.
"That won't work," I laughed. "Telling Winny to calm down is like telling Kronos to be good."
"She right,"Winter blushed.
We got the ice cream. I got vanilla and Winter got chocolate. We sat down in the park.
"Mom?" We heard through the earpiece.
"Ya Nick?" Annabeth said.
"Where are you?"
"In the park."
"Are there any monsters there?"
Annabeth looked around, "No."
"Nick out peace."
"Nick just shut up," We heard Silena say in the background. We both started laughing.
"Can we go to the playground?" Winter asked.
"Sure," Annabeth said.
"Yay!" Winter grabbed my hand and started pulling me to the playground.
We ran over to the swings. We sat in silence licking our ice cream.
"Hey Winter?" I asked.
"What?" said Winter.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure!"
"How come you don't like fighting? You never ever gave me a real answer. I've seen you fight, you're good."
"No I'm not! I'm better with calmer thing like nature." She jumped off her swing and walked over to a wilted flower. She cupped her hands around it and it bloomed in less then a second into a beautiful lily. "See," she said pointing to the flower.
"I believe you can fight!"
"Violence is never the answer!"
"Well, it is if a monster is trying to kill you."
"I HATE FIGHTING AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT!" Winter yelled probably for the first time in her life.
"What?" I asked sadly.
"No Bee I didn't mean it like that."
"It fine everyone's entitled to their opinions."
Annabeth ran up to us. "We have to go now."
"Annabeth whats wrong?" Percy asked.
"She's here, Percy. Percy, Arachne is here." Annabeth turned back to us. There was a tear falling down her face. "We have to go now!" We started running.
"Its okay, Annabeth," Percy said softly.
"ANNABETH CHASE!" Arachne shrilled.
We reached a dead end. "Oh gods no," Annabeth murmured to herself and brushed away a few tears.
Arachne cornered us. "Annabeth Chase," she said slyly. "You put me in Tartarus, and then followed me there to have your wimpy boyfriend kill me there. "
"Percy is not wimpy," Annabeth growled.
"Well time has come, Annabeth. Time for me to kill you." Arachne lunged at Annabeth.
That's when Winter did the bravest (and stupidest) thing ever. Winter jumped in front of Annabeth, letting done of Arachne's needle like legs go through her chest. Winter crumpled to the floor.
"YOU BITCH!" I screamed. I pulled out my sword and threw it at her head, killing her once again. I ran over to Winter and pulled her into my lap. Her shirt was now soaked with her own thick scarlet blood.
"Its okay Winny. You're going to be fine," I said while stroking her hair.I turned to Annabeth. "GET NECTAR! GET AMBROSIA! GET ME ANYTHING TO HELP HER! NOW!"
"Beatrix.." Annabeth sai dsoftly as she moved towards me slowly.
"NO! SHE'S NOT DYING!" I DON'T LET HER! SHE'S TOO YOUNG"
"Bee..." Winter said, her voice very low. "Thank..you...for...believing...in..me." Those were the last words Winter McPhintley ever spoke.
"NO!" I shrieked. "NO!" I pulled her closer to me, sobbing over her once perfect body, now impaled.
"Beatrix we have to go we don't know how many more were with her," Annabeth said.
"NO! I'M NOT LEAVING HER HERE, ANNABETH! I CAN'T!"
Annabeth came all the way over. She picked up Winter's lifeless body. "Beatrix I would never make you leave her."
"I continued sobbing as I followed Annabeth.
We got back to the ARGO III. Annabeth handed Winter to Jason. She ran to Percy and started crying into his shirt. I ran over and grabbed onto Winter, continuing to sob, but this time harder. Piper grabbed onto me, pulling me away from my dead best friend.
PERCY P.O.V.
Annabeth was sobbing into my shirt. I turned to Frank, "Get all the kids back. The threat is gone. Beatrix killed Arachne."
"Will do," he walked off to the 'control room'.
"Jason can you bring―" I started, but I didn't know how to finish a sentence like that. No one ever actually died on the Argo, well maybe Leo did, but that was different.
"Ya I know," Jason said sadly and walked away with Winter.
"Percy," Hazel said. "You should go take Annabeth to your room."
"I know." I pick her up and walked back to our room.
"Hey Wise girl can you please tell me what happened so I can help?"
"It was all my fault," she cried.
"You didn't kill Winter, a monster did."
"Not just any monster, Arachne" She paused for a second. "She sacrificed herself for me."
There was a light knock on the door. "Come in," I said.
"I just spoke to Nico who just spoke to my dad. He said He'll send Winter straight to Elysium, and if you want I can take Winter and Beatrix back to Camp?"
"Ya," I said."That would be nice."
"Thank you Sebastian," Annabeth spoke through her tears.
"She also gave him a message for you: she said don't blame her death on you. she would do anything for a friend, "Sebastian paused. "It was her fatal flaw."
ARE YOU CRYING? I'M CRYING.
YOU KNOW THE DRILL.
