Quote of the Day: Life is not fair, but it is still good!

Book of the Day: I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (Lorien Legacies book 1). I saw the trailer for this movie, and i automatically wanted to see it! So i bought the book on my NookColor and read it! OMG It is so good! Trust me, it sounds very stupid, but it is worth reading. This is all i will say about the book: Nine of us came here. We look and act like you. They want us dead. They caught Number 1 in Malaysia. Number 2 in England. And Number 3 in Kenya. They killed them all. I am Number 4. I am next. ***** 5 stars! Great book! Read it! It is a sci-fy!

Happy Reading!


Chapter 29

Annabeth

After that event, there was nothing to do but go to sleep. Bermuda was still not in sight, and they at least had five hours till dawn. So what better to do than be haunted by nightmares?

So, yeah, she had nightmares. Some were worse than others. In one, she had to confess to her math class that she had gotten a B on a geometry test, which was HUMILIATING! But in another, he was forced to relive Luke killing himself.

And in another, she was forced to shoot Percy. She hoped that her relationship wouldn't come to that!

But with her luck, it probably would. This mark was seriously getting worse and worse.

So, after she woke up for the sixth time, she just laid in bed for a couple of minutes. Then she started hearing bangs and someone shouting. She jumped out of bed, still fully dressed, and grabbed her knife. Slowly, she crept out of her room and down the hallway. She jumped around a corner, grunting a little as she did so. Then she saw what she was going against.

A very tired Jason, lying out cold on the floor.

She knelt next to him, checking for a fever. He had none, but she felt a large bump rising.

"Wake up," she whispered gently, and he groaned.

"I said wake up."

His eyes opened all at once, piercing through her own. "What happened?" she asked him.

He blinked. "I'm not sure," he replied groggily. "I got up, and I felt okay. I walked down the hall, and then I saw black spots and got really dizzy."

"Great." She rolled her eyes and stood up, offering him hand. She pulled him up, and then he almost fell on her. "Whoa, don't fall."

"Ugh, I feel like crap!"

"Well, get your blood pumping! You never know when we might be attacked!"

He groaned again. "Don't remind me…" He stumbled forward, away from her, and then completely fell against the wall. It took Annabeth everything not to laugh. She slapped him on the back, which almost made him topple head first to the floor, and passed him to go upstairs.

It looked like no one had really had any sleep. Piper, Leo, and Frank were playing poker. Hazel was pacing back and forth, muttering to herself. And Percy was levitating a small ball of water in the air, making it turn into different shapes.

"Hey," she said to him. He dropped the water in surprise making it splash all over the deck. But it was already so hot that Annabeth could literally see it evaporating. He turned around. "Oh, hey."

And just as he said it that little bit of water had already condensed into a cloud, not a pretty puff ball, but a giant cumulonimbus. It was at least the size of the ship and it was only there, as if somehow following them.

So now clouds are stalking us? wondered Annabeth

Percy sputtered a few curses, and then yelled at everyone to take cover, because it was going to get rough. And as he said that, lightning struck the ship's mast.

Everyone screamed and ran to get below deck. Well, all except Annabeth and Percy. Annabeth turned on Percy. "WHAT IS HAPPENING!"

"EURYMEDON!"

Of course, Eurymedon had the power to control storms. This would be a great time to have Jason awake.

"What do we do?"

"We steer ourselves out of this." Percy ran to the wheel, Annabeth hot on his heels. He gave it a sharp jerk to the right, and she fell over. Percy muttered something, and the ship started going twice it's normal speed. It was going so fast that Annabeth and Percy's feet were off the ground, and they were hanging on to dear life by their fingertips.

"DON'T LET GO!" screamed Percy through the howling wind and pouring rain.

"I'M TRYING NOT TO!" she shrieked in response. She saw Percy blink hard, and then stare up at the sky. A gust of wind protruded from his pores, spiraling up into the dark atmosphere. A hole, like an eye, appeared in the middle of the storm.

Percy was making his own hurricane again!

But this was more of a wind storm, part hurricane. He was almost vibrating with wonderful power, and that is when Annabeth noticed the Jason was standing on the deck, helping him.

All at once, they rain stopped, but the wind continued, but it was only from Percy and Jason. Percy looked so hot, his hair billowing around his face.

The ship also slowed down so quickly, as if someone had slammed on the brakes. Percy and Annabeth flopped to the ground like fish out of water, soaked through their clothes and shivering in the hot summer air.

"What a load of SCHIST!" yelled Percy at the sky.

"What?"

"Long story…" he sighed. Annabeth looked up to see the clouds receding, rolling away and then disappearing. The wind stopped abruptly.

Jason hobbled over. "Eurymedon?" he asked.

"Do you even need to ask?"

Jason opened his mouth, and then closed it. He stared downwards over the side of the ship.

"Hey, does it look like the water is getting closer?"

Annabeth and Percy ran over to the side of the ship. Indeed, the water was getting closer, and faster than it should have.

"DO SOMETHING!"

"I can't!" Percy snapped his finger madly, as if that could solve the problem. The worried expression on his face got deeper. "The ship is too tired! I can't stop it!" He ran over to the side.

And then jumped overboard.

Annabeth could hear him make contact with the ocean surface. His tiny head, which was growing larger by the instant, broke the surface. Then it went back under. A large wave rose, at least 200 feet high. The ship crashed into that, and Annabeth lost her footing.

And also fell overboard.

She screamed her heart out and felt cold water rush around her. She was sinking, and tiny bubbles were seeping through her fingers. The impact had been so hard that Annabeth wasn't able to move any of her muscles. She wasn't even sure how she was alive.

Above, she could see the ship, resting on the wave. Below, she saw nothing. And that's where she was heading.

Her breath was slowing, and her lungs needed air. Reflexively she opened her mouth, and salt water went up her nose and down her lungs. She tried coughing it out, but only more came in.

After about a minute, she felt nothing. Everything was getting blacker, and the world around her was getting slower.

She no longer cared for life, and just wanted death to come.
