Chapter 29

Narrator's(my) P.O.V.

While the whole camp, gods, hunters, and soldiers were celebrating the victory, back on Olympus Apollo tensely, anxiously, and tiredly sitting on a chair next to Kim's little case while Andrew paced back and force across the room, distress clear on his face. The chamber Kim was in was specially designed to use Apollo's godly energy and fast healing to heal someone just as fast(which is why he was so tired). She was healed completely now but had yet to wake up and it's been an hour since she fully heal. So, it's accurate to say they were both really worried. Were they too late? Did she lose too much blood? Was she not actually fully healed? What was wrong? These questions added more and more suspense and tenseness to the atmosphere around the room which certainly didn't help the two boys relax.

While Apollo wondered if the little girl would ever make it or even wake up, Andrew had other thing on his mind. He loved her. He loved her so much and yet he never told her because he was too scared she wouldn't love him back. He didn't want to risk ruining their friendship. He thought of himself as such a coward for not telling her because of that, now he may never get to tell her at all. Never get to kiss her, never hold her, never look into her beautiful eyes, never hear her wondrous voice, never hear her angelic laugh, or ever see her sweet smile. As he stared down at her motionless body, he just hoped that she would make it out of this alive and he promised that if she did than he would find it in himself to admit his love for her.

While this was going on, way in the depths of Kim's mind a conflicting event was about to occur. She was walking down a cold, dark, and stony tunnel, feeling along the slippery walls to keep going in the right direction, well, what she assumed was the right direction at least. As she continued on, trying her hardest to see, a bright light appeared at the end of the tunnel. It was so bright compared to the dark she had been looking at for the past while that she was blinded for a second. Shaking her head, she continued on towards the light, her curiosity bringing her there. As she continued down the dark and silent passageway, the light grew brighter and brighter as it she got closer and closer. A warm wave of peace, happiness, and love washed over her as she finally got to the light.

Without even hesitating for a second she walked into it. The light washed all around her before she was caught in a swirl. She closed her eyes for a second, fearing the worst, before she suddenly felt as if she was moving. She opened her eyes and squeaked in surprise as she looked down on her body from the air. Looking down at her hands, she realized by surprise by her almost translucent hands that her soul had been taken out of her body. I'm…dead? She thought in shock to herself, but how? as she stared down in astonishment at her body lying in a glass sort of casket. To the right of the glass cylinder, the god Apollo sat, his elbow resting on his knee as his chin was placed in the palm of his hand. A shuffling sound drew her eyes from him to behind her. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw Andrew pacing back and forth through the room, panic, worry, and sadness practically flowing off him in waves. After a minute of watching, she was pulled out of the room.

As she flew out of the place, she realized that she had been on Olympus, not camp like she thought. She stared at Olympus before it disappeared out of sight when she took an abrupt turn south towards the ground. As she got closer and closer, she started to panic, wanting to go back to Andrew. Just as she was about to hit the ground, she closed her eyes, waiting for a crash…that never came. In surprise, she opened her eyes in confusion to see that she was sliding through the ground, deeper and deeper into the earth. She finally broke through the rock and gasped in surprise as she came across the underworld, on the other side of the river Styx. She was confused on why she didn't stop in to Charon, Annabeth had told her that you could only get to the underworld if you paid Charon. As her feet touched the ground, she snapped around as someone spoke.

"All hero's on the god's side that die in battle are immediately sent to Elysium, unless they did things that would keep them from Elysium." Kim was met with the three fates as she turned around. After a few seconds of shock, she spoke.

"So I'm going to Elysium?" She questioned.

"You could." Clotho stated which confused her even more.

"What do you mean?" She questioned. The three fates looked at each other in agreement before turning back to her. As a response, Atropos pulled out a glowing yellow string. As they did, Kim felt something stir within her, that string was important. Her eyes widened in realization as it hit her.

"Is that..?" Kim's voice trailed off in astonishment as they nodded in consent, the piece of string was her thread of life. To her surprise, it was still intact, not cut into two pieces. Right in the middle of the string was a little snip as if it was cut barely which confused her even more. As if sensing what she was thinking, Lachesis spoke.

"Your string has not been cut, because your life has not been finished." Sensing Kim's growing confusion, she continued to explain, "Kimberly, your life is at a crossroad right now. While it seems to you like you have died, you still have a chance to live." Kim furrowed her eyebrows at that.

"What do you mean?" She wondered.

"While your soul came down here, your body finally finished healing and you can live again, you have a lot more things to do in the world above, it you choose to." Clotho stated.

"What do you mean I have more things to do?" Kim inquired.

"A life's fate is not a thing anyone can truly control, it can only be affected." That made her ever more confused.

"But don't you three control fate?" She asked.

"We cannot control fate, we can only help guide and direct it, but sometimes the things we want to happen don't because fate has its own course. Right now, your fate can go either way so we are here to help you decide." Atropos explained. Kim was silent for a while, lost in thought, before she finally spoke.

"What would happen if I stayed here to die?" She probed.

"You would go to Elysium and live there for the rest of eternity, spending time with your deceased family and friends." At that, one thought popped into her head: her parents. She missed them so much and wished so badly to see them. So many other members of her family had died as well, if she stayed she would be with them once again. Still deciding, she asked the next question.

"What would happen if I went back to earth to live?" Kim questioned. The fates looked at each other before meeting her eyes again.

"Still it is the future, it is not a predictable thing, but one thing will surely happen, you will be with your friends again and will do all the things that you've desired concerning growing up. But I must state that, if you choose to live, there is a chance you may never see your family again." Atropos warned which was just even more confusing for Kim. As she tried to decide, a sudden thought occurred to her that she just had to say.

"What would happen with Andrew if I chose to stay here?" Kim hesitantly questioned. Understanding filled the three fates at her question.

"You will most likely never see the boy again." Lachesis answered which made Kim even more conflicted on whether to stay or not. But even if she decided to go back because of Andrew, who even knows if they will get together at all? As if sensing her thoughts, Lachesis continued, "But, if you choose to live, you will. Andrew's live is very intertwined in yours; it's up to you to choose whichever way you see it being as." To further this topic, Clotho waved her hand, making an I.M. of sorts appear in the air between them and Kim. Kim's eyebrows furrowed as the screen showed the room on Olympus where her body, Apollo, and Andrew were.

In the time since she was last there, the glass cover was gone, leaving Kim's body lying on a usual infirmary bed. Along with that, Apollo had disappeared as well. She watched as Andrew suddenly stopped his pace and walked to the left side of Kim's bed, staring down at her still body. Kim's eyebrows furrowed even more before the rose in shock and her eyes widened as Andrew reached out and caressed her cheek gently, rubbing his thumb lightly across it. His eyes softened, turned watery, and filled with plead as he started to speak.

"Please Kim," He whispered softly, his voice tight as if he was holding back tears, "Please wake up." He reached up and softly pushed some of Kim's hair off her forehead. Kim gasped loudly and her eyes widened as he leaned down and kissed Kim's body on the forehead. He stared down at her for a while before grabbing a chair, sitting down, and grasping Kim's small hand in his, holding it tightly. Tears fell as he spoke one last time, "Please don't leave me Kim." At that, Kim made up her decision. I won't leave you, not at all, she thought. With that decision, Kim met the fates eyes with determination in her own.

"Bring me back." She stated. The three fates gave her a rare smile before speaking.

"Good luck Kimberly, let us all hope you never see us again." They chorused. Kim smiled before she was caught up in a glow. She felt herself return to reality, getting pulled back into her body. A while later after gaining stability, her eyes flew open.

Andrew's P.O.V.

It had been about nine hours since Kim was fully healed and we took the case off and it has been eight hours since I sat down in the same chair I was in now(A/N:going back into her body after death took a lot longer than Kim thought it did). I couldn't see, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe until I knew she was awake and ok. But the odds weren't looking good; she was fully healed yet hasn't shown a single sign of life, I fear that she may be gone, never to wake up again. I quickly locked up those thoughts; I couldn't think like that, if I did I'd just break down and lose it completely. As I stared down at her, I wondered what she was thinking, or if she was even thinking at all. For all I know she could be dead right now and I'm just watching a dead and lifeless body rot on the bed.

I shivered at that thought before clearing it out of my mind, not wanting to think so morbid and depressing. I wondered for an instant how everyone was right now. Apollo left to find out how the war was going and came back to say that we had won before leaving to party since he couldn't do anything more. He showed up after a few minutes saying that the party was over because people needed to be taken care of and people were too exhausted and needed sleep so the party was rescheduled for tomorrow. Even though I had just found out that we had won the war I didn't feel happy or victorious. Because of that war, I may lose my best friend without ever telling her how much I love her. As you can tell, I am so close to losing it and breaking down.

The only thing keeping me together is the sound of the I.V. next to her, signaling her steady heartbeat. She was completely stable and healed; nothing was going wrong not a single bone was broken so why wasn't she waking up? Nervousness stirred uneasily in me, not liking the thought that since she won't wake up then something must be wrong. Taking deep breaths to calm myself, I tried yet again to clear my head to no avail. Sighing deeply, I rested my head down on my arms that were resting on the edge of the bed, tired yet not able to sleep while my best friend and the person I loved lay motionless on the bed.

After half an hour of this I opened my eyes in shock, staring into the mattress as I felt the bed move. Assuming it was just Apollo or Aphrodite appearing and checking and fixing her position like they have done a lot in the past while, I closed my eyes and continued to relax. I was taken out of my relaxation as I felt soft finger rake through my hair as I heard a giggle that was too girlish to be Apollo and too familiar to be Aphrodite. Picking up my head, making them stop ranking their hand through my hair, my eyes met Kim's beautiful brown and green eyes. I felt my face light up as she started to speak.

"How long-" She started but was interrupted as I pulled her into a tight hug, so happy she was alive and awake. She tensed in surprise before relaxing and burrowing her face into my shoulder. We sat there for a while just relaxing as we were in each other's company. I smiled happily as I realized that I my wish of finally holding her was filled, may even more wishes will be filled now…

Percy's/Athlon's P.O.V.

I watched from the trees as everyone stopped partying after a few minutes because they were all either too hurt, tired, or just couldn't be bothered by it so the party was rescheduled for tomorrow. I sighed as I watched everyone walk towards their cabins or, for the gods, flash back up to Olympus(though I of course didn't watch the gods turn into their true forms, I only saw them start to glow before looking away. The second we appeared back to camp, I slipped away because I just couldn't deal with it all right now, they just found out my identity today and I just couldn't talk about it so soon to them finding out, I wasn't ready to. As everyone disappeared I started to walk away when I heard –and sensed- someone walking up from behind me. I turned around and came face to face with Thalia and Nico, to my surprise. As I stared at them in shock, they smiled sheepishly and guiltily at me.

"Hi Percy." They stated. I smiled and awkwardly waved at them, wanting to bolt as fast as I could out of the forest. Trying to find something to say, I noticed their intertwined hands and raised an eyebrow in surprise and disbelief.

"So you two are together now?" I questioned. They blushed deeply but nodded. It was silent for a while before Thalia started talking.

"Percy, we're so sorry for-" She blurted out, her eyes filling with tears. I smiled and interrupted her.

"Don't worry; you've been forgiven for centuries." I reassured. They seemed surprise at that, "come on guys, it was just a little misunderstanding." I stated.

"Yea, but it was during so many problems and challenges in your life, we just added to them all, we should have been there for you, not bringing you down." Thalia stated guiltily and Nico nodded his head in agreement. Percy laughed and shook his head to their confusion.

"Guys, don't you remember what I said in the letter?" Their eyebrows furrowed at this, "You've always been forgiven, you were perfectly in your rights to believe what you believed so I don't hold it against you, do you understand?" I questioned. Their expressions showed begrudging acceptance as they nodded. I smiled, "Good, and if you don't mind, tell the rest of the immortal campers that I don't hold it against them, and tell Grover too. Now, if you'll excuse me Zombie Dude and Pinecone face," Their expressions showed complete disbelief and surprise at me calling them their old nicknames, "I think I'm going to go to the beach now. Bye." I finished before waving and then walking away towards to beach. After a few minutes, I reached the beach, walked up to the surf, and sat down, letting the waves roll over my feet. I breathed a sigh of the cool sea breeze, closing my eyes as I relaxed. I mentally sighed though, as I heard someone approach and sit down on my left. Guessing from the sound of their footsteps and the sea breeze coming off of them, I knew it was dad.

"Hi dad." I stated, opening my eyes to look at him as he whipped his head around, probably surprised I knew it was him.

"How..?" He started before stopping, changing the subject, "Percy I-" He started, but I interrupted him.

"Dad, please don't beg for my forgiveness," He seemed hurt, probably assuming that I said that because I'd never forgive him, "You never did anything wrong, you didn't even know what was going on so it can't even be your fault." I stated.

"But I wasn't there for you, I-" I interrupted him again.

"Yes you were, you were the only person who truly stayed there for me and still lived me even though everyone else loved Jacob. So don't ask for forgiveness because you don't even need to." I ordered. He opened his mouth to protest but, seeing the determination in my eyes, he sighed in defeat before nodding. Realizing he needed a little gift, I reached over and hugged him tightly. Dad froze in surprise before getting out of it quickly and hugging me tightly back as a loving father would when he his lost child was found –which is ironically true-, sobbing into my shoulder. I hugged him back just as hard, crying as well. I don't know how long we sat there, hugging and crying, but it had probably been for a while because both our shoulders were completely drenched with tears. We chuckled at that, wiping the rest of our tears off our face. Dad chuckled lightly before speaking up.

"I should probably get back now, Athena's probably worried." He stated. We hugged each other once more before dad disappeared in a mist of sea water. I smiled, chuckling lightly. After I finished I looked around to see where I could go to have privacy, I really didn't want to be bothered anymore. I was losing hope of finding anywhere when I spotted something. A little into the sea, there is a cliff of rocks. When I still was at camp, I went swimming, jumping off that cliff, and followed a current. The current brought me to a little tunnel about fifty feet below where the water ended on the rock. After swimming for a while through the tunnel, I came up into a little cave a few feet down, devoid of any water. It was my favorite place because no one knows about it and I'd always come here to think.

Smiling, I ran towards the cliffs. When I reached the top, I dived down into the water and, after about thirty seconds, I reached the cave. Pulling myself up out of the pool of water, I walked across the cave, happy to be back again after so many years. It looked just as it always has untouched for five hundred years. The pool was in the middle of the cave and I sat down on the right side of it about ten feet away from it. I laid back and relax, leaving myself to my thoughts as I went into a kind of unconscious state. It was quiet for a while before I heard water moving and get out of the pool, walking towards me, making me jump up and spin around in surprise. Annabeth froze, finally spotting me. I wondered for a second how she knew about this placed before I mentally face palmed myself. On our fifth date, I brought her here for a picnic. This cave was actually an easy place to reach, even if you aren't a son of Poseidon, you just need to be able to swim, hold your breath for at most a minute, and have goggles.

"Sorry, didn't know you were here, I'll leave." She stated swiftly. She glared harshly at me which confused me, why was she angry at me? After glaring, she turned around and walked towards the pool, trying to leave. I hurried after her and grabbed her arm, turning her to face me. Annabeth, needless to say, was surprised but that quickly turned to anger. Knowing I wouldn't let her leave, she pulled her arm out of my hand and headed towards the place where I had sat angrily sitting down. I sighed and walked after her. As I reached her, I sat down beside her and the next thing I knew she was glaring at me harshly, which was like a stab to my heart, why is she so mad at me? I wondered to myself.

"What do you want Percy?" She snapped, death glaring at me and I glared back at her.

"I'm not about to let you go without knowing why exactly you are mad at me." I stated and she glared at me more.

"Why I am made at you? You're not letting me go until I tell you why?" She growled and I nodded swiftly.

"Yes! I want to know why you are so mad at me! What did I do?" I exclaimed, glaring at her and she continued to glare back even harsher.

"What did you do? What did you do?" She yelled, gave a groan of annoyance, turned around, and walked to the other side of the cave, quietly fuming.

"Yes, that's what I want to know! Why are you so mad at me?" I exclaimed desperately, "It's not like I did anything wrong!" I added and that was apparently the wrong thing to say because Annabeth turned around, marched over to me, and slapped me across the face. I could see it hurt her just as much as it hurt me but she seemed to have calmed down a little bit more because of it.

"Don't you dare say that you didn't do anything!" She growled in a dangerously calm voice as she glared at me and a shock went through me when I looked into her eyes and saw that they were full of tears and some were overflowing, what had I done to hurt her so much? I wondered in worry. Without thinking, I reached up and wiped away her tears softly, my hand caressed her cheek. She seemed shocked for a couple seconds, her anger disappearing. After a second she smiled lightly, closed her eyes, and leaned more into my hand, letting me caress her cheek even more.

After a couple seconds she seemed to realize what was happening. Her eyes snapped open as she pulled away as fast as she could. I blushed red, realizing what I did, and put my hand down to my side while Annabeth walked over to the other side of the cave and sat down, facing the cave wall. There was a couple minutes of awkward silence before I just couldn't take it anymore. I sighed quietly and walked over to her, sitting down next to her.

"So it was you the whole time?" She asked quietly hugging her legs to her chest while I nodded, "Why didn't you tell anyone?" She asked. I knew she wasn't referring to Katosh, Andrew, or mom, she was talking about the whole camp and all the gods. I sighed deeply.

"I just…I thought none of you guys cared about me, but when I found out you all did I just-I didn't know what to think so I didn't tell anyone that it was me." I stated truthfully, glad to be over with the awkward silence and that she isn't mad at me right now, or just not showing it. It was quiet for a couple seconds before Annabeth spoke again.

"You could've told me." Annabeth whispered, hugging her legs tighter and resting her chin on her knees and my eyes softened immediately at that. I looked over at the wall, sighing. My head whipped over as she started to talk, "You could've told me!" She exclaimed, glaring harshly at me. Great, she's angry again. I thought to myself as she continued, "But you kept it from me! My son even knew and neither of you told me!" She yelled, standing up and glaring down at me, her body literally shaking with wrath. I frowned at that.

"Annabeth I-" I started to explain but she interrupted me.

"No! You don't get to talk; it's my time right now so listen!" She exclaimed. I sighed but shut up, "You deliberately kept it from me, you didn't even tell me when we kissed again after five hundred years!" I blushed at that, "Not even when I demanded you to tell me why you kissed me, you revealed nothing about you being you!" She yelled, getting even angrier. She started to pace here, "For the past while, I wondered how I could possibly fall in love with someone I didn't even know. I mean, for all I knew you could have been a serial killer or enemy! Not once did you even tell me that it was you. No I had to watch just like everyone else as you were tied on that post almost killed, revealed, and then taken!" She stormed. I could tell that we were at the point of the true reason why she was so angry.

"How dare you even trade yourself in for me!?" She screamed, tears finally overflowing, "What have I ever done for you? I broke your heart yet you immediately forgave me! How could you do that when I was so cruel? How could you be so forgiving and care for a person like me?" She sobbed. It was here that she finally broke down. Her legs crumbled beneath her and she bent over crying into her arms, her beautiful blond hair covering her face like a curtain. I immediately jumped just and walked over to her. I sat down and tried to hug her to comfort her but she punched and hit me repeatedly, pushing me away as she shook her head, "Don't touch me!" She jumped up and I quickly followed her.

"Don't comfort me!" I ignored her statement and tried to hug her again but she resisted. After another failed attempt at hugging her she exploded, "I DON'T DESERVE YOU! HOW CAN YOU WANT TO COMFORT AND BE WITH SOMEONE WHO BROKE YOUR HEART AND CHEATED ON YOU!" She screamed. I finally succeeded in hugging her and held her to my chest, not allowing her to escape. She resisted for a while, trying to get away, but soon gave up and sobbed harshly into my chest. After about ten minutes, Annabeth had calmed down a lot more but she was still sobbing.

"Katosh told me." I softly stated. She looked up at me in confusion, her face red and full of tears, "During the party. She found me and explained to me the reason why you broke up with me and 'cheated'" I used quotation marks here, "On me. The second she finished I believed every word she said." I finished.

"But why would you believe her so easily?" She questioned, holding back her sobs and tears. I reached up and lightly wiped away some stray tears.

"Truthfully, I always felt that there was something weird about you that day, your eyes were showing so many different emotions than your voice was, I always hoped that that meant you still love me and didn't want to break my heart. Turns out that hope was right." I whispered lightly, pushing some hair behind her ear. Staring into her eyes, I leaned down and softly kissed her. She kissed me back just as lightly, the kiss lasting for around five seconds before we pulled back. I hugged her tightly after it. After a while I leant down and whispered into her ear, "I love you Wise Girl." Annabeth sniffed softly before pulling back and smiling softly staring deep into my eyes.

"I love you too Seaweed Brain." She answered. I smiled my usual lopsided smile before kissing once more and hugging her once again. It was ten minutes later now and we were laying down now on the cave floor. I smiled down at her sleeping form, brushing some hair out of her face. Kissing her forehead, my smile grew. I finally got my Wise Girl back and I was determined to keep her for now on. And there was only one way to do that: I was going to make her mine.

Song I'm listening to right now: 'God's Will' by Martina McBride(such a beautiful yet sad song…)
