Sorry I'm later than I promised, my Internet connection's been really unstable -_-. I hope you enjoy it though :) This pairing was suggested by huntress zoe nightshade 94, thank you!
This is like, my own rendition of Bianca's death :')
Summary: And then, her pale white hand went slack. (Percy/Bianca)
Tight.
Her grip on his fingers seems to be the only thing tying her to this world. She feels feverish, but Percy shivers as if her touch sends unnatural cold. "Percy," she croaks, squeezing his hand tighter, "Please don't let go."
He winces, but stares at her intensely, "Never."
Gentle.
Her hand is soft; her fingers gently hold the palm of his hand, shaking. She doesn't have the strength to hold on any tighter. "Percy, please just don't let go." She begs softly, her eyes stinging with impending tears.
Relaxed.
Her hand relaxes against his, and she slowly intertwines their fingers. She breathes in short pants, a small smile face. This is it. He traces the lines of her palm, muttering words of encouragement. "You'll be fine. We'll go back, and you'll see your brother."
"Just… don't let go of me, Percy." She whispers, her voice wavering.
Slipping.
Her fingers go numb, and she knows her time is up. She can't manage to croak out any words. She pleads with her eyes; she isn't ready. He was letting go. She panics, don't let go…
Slack.
Her mind goes blank with fear. My brother… She's calmer. He'll be okay… Percy will make sure of that. She closes her eyes, her numb hand dangling off Percy's by the fingers, and then, her pale white hand went slack, and Bianca Di Angelo let go.
So that was short... Sorry :$ But I did say that the range was like 300-800 words, right? ;) I find it really ironic how throughout this chapter Bianca was all like, "don't let go!" and the story's title is Never Letting you Go. Hmm.. :)
Anyway this story's at it's halfway mark, since I'm doing 50 chapters. Wooh!
