'You drool when you sleep' - Annabeth


Two times Annabeth said the most unlikely greeting to Percy and the one time she finally said 'hey'.

One.

Percy's body ached. Everything was just sore. His head hurt, his neck hurt, his everything hurt. He couldn't even move a muscle. Not that he wanted to, the bed he was in felt really comfortable. Percy snuggled deeper into the soft bed, ignoring the soreness. But then, his eyes snapped open.

This wasn't his bed. His bed was even more comfier. The bedsheets wasn't his. His were a blue colour and had pretty fishies on them.

Where was he?

Percy looked around. Everything was weird. This room wasn't his. He didn't remember redecorating his room and making it as clinical as possible. Not to mention the bottles of medicine stacked in a corner. He didn't remember having that much medicine.

The bed was simple. A pillow and a blanket.

Percy had a couple of stitches and bandages on him. He wondered what he had been up to.

Everything was just bizarre and weird and he pinched himself to see if he was in a dream.

A couple of people, no older than eighteen passed by and Percy noticed that only a thin sheet separated him and the patients next door. When another teenager passed by, Percy was about to call out to her when he realized what a stupid move that was.

His bones made a popping sound and Percy realized how much everything ached. He winced. How long had he been out? His muscles were stiff and he tried to get some blood circulation going. Percy tried to sit up, wincing at his every move.

Bad idea, he thought to himself. He sighed. How was he gonna get out of this one? Maybe this is a dream and he just had trouble getting up. Percy closed his eyes and tried to will himself to wake up in the real world.

After a few moments, he reopened his eyes but he was still stuck in the same unknown place. He tried a couple of times before realizing that it was useless. He gave up soon after that.

"You drool when you sleep," said a voice near him. It was so sudden that it made Percy jump in his bed. He turned his head and saw a young girl no older than him, sitting on a chair with a raised eyebrow. She had curly blonde hair, kind of like those princesses from Disney movies and stormy grey eyes.

"Huh?" came his intelligent reply. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

She pointed to a spot on her cheek. "You have some drool right here," she said. Percy's hand quickly went to his face and rubbed away the dried drool as he felt really embarrassed right now.

"I'm Percy," she said, holding out the same had he used to wipe drool with out to her. She looked at it in disgust and made a face.

"Ugh, no way am I shaking that," she retorted. Using a finger, she pushed his hand away. "You just used it to wipe drool!"

Percy realized his mistake and his face turned red from the added embarrassment. Luckily, the girl took pity on him.

"I'm Annabeth, Daughter of Athena," she stated proudly. Percy tilted his head to the side.

"Where am I?" From there, Annabeth told Percy this surreal tale that involved his destiny.

Two.

Percy was nervous. And late ! He was oh so late that Annabeth would kill him, revive him all over again and kill him for the second time.

Who was this Annabeth and why is she so violent, you ask?

Annabeth was Percy's girlfriend. They had been going out for two years and counting, well if Percy managed to grovel himself out of this situation. It wasn't even his fault! Percy had been ready to pick Annabeth up for their dinner reservation. He was all dressed up, fancily.

And then came the first problem. When he was about to get into his car, his neighbour asked for his help. Mrs. Jitters had been Percy's neighbour ever since he moved into his apartment. Some say that she has lived there since it was first built. She was this kind elderly person that made you get the warm fuzzies in your tummy. You could never say 'no' to her. She just had this little charm to her. Percy suspected that Mrs. Jitters was a daughter of Aphrodite but he didn't want to get all weird on her.

So when Mrs. Jitters asked Percy to help her move some boxes of trash to the dumpster, Percy just had to go help her.

He figured that he was quite early on his schedule so it wouldn't hurt to help someone out.

The boxes were really heavy. If it weren't for his demigod training, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift them. There wasn't much problems in that. The bad luck started when he dumped them in the dumpster. Apparently, someone threw away a packet of tomato sauce, the big ones you buy so that you can just fill them into the old tomato sauce bottles. When he threw the boxes in, they landed on the packet of tomato sauce and the packet spit open, sending blobs of tomato sauce flying in Percy's direction.

Even with his reflexes, Percy couldn't react fast enough. The demigod senses must only work on monsters and not tomato sauce. But guess what, tomato sauce was a monster because it ruined Percy's shirt. He had spent a lot of time, working the iron and making sure everything was okay but now tomato sauce had to ruin it. Percy groaned. He would have to change.

Trudging back to his apartment, Percy chucked the shirt into his laundry basket. When he reached into his closet for another shirt, there was none. That was when he cursed himself for not doing laundry the day before. So now, Percy had to dig into his closet and wear an old shirt of his. It was a faded shirt and was quite snug against his abdomen.

Looking at his watch, Percy was five minutes late. He quickly got into his car and drove off to pick up Annabeth at her dormitory on her university campus. Unfortunately, bad luck struck again as traffic suddenly got heavy.

It took a full hour before Percy arrived at campus. He parked near Annabeth's dormitory building and took off. He ignored the number of people that stopped and looked at him as he passed by. He had to get to Annabeth. When he reached her dorm, he knocked on the door.

The door opened to reveal a fuming Annabeth. She looked gorgeous in the midnight blue dress she wore and her hair was as curly as ever.

"You're late..." Percy gulped.

One.

It was the last battle he had. This battle would determine if the Gods won or if the enemy won.

And of course, the demigods would be doing all the work.

Percy had been preparing himself for this moment along with the other fellow demigods that were allowed to battle. For months they had discussed strategy and trained. Percy hoped that everything would pay off.

Percy led the troops, being the experienced fighter he is. They had help from the Roman Camp. While Percy led the Greeks, Jason led the Romans. Annabeth and Piper were their second in commands. Everything was going smoothly and according to the strategy they had. Annabeth did a good job, coming up with spontaneous battle plans if any of them failed.

However, everything experienced a downfall when the enemy ambushed them.

They weren't expecting it. Annabeth couldn't come up with a plan this time because she was their target. They wanted to take out the battle strategist. Annabeth managed to hold her own when the first enemy troop attacked her, however, there were too many that wanted to take her down.

And then, one got a strike at her. Annabeth cried out when it happened. her arm was bleeding again. In the same spot as last time, only deeper and more fatal.

By then, Percy only saw red. He viciously killed the troops, anger and adrenalin fueling his rage. He almost lost Annabeth once and it will not happen again. Soon, the enemy troops were all dead and Percy stood in the middle, surrounded by their dead bodies. His chest was heaving up and down as he tried to gain control of his emotions.

Everyone was silent. That was until Percy realized that Annabeth was hurt and no one was helping her.

"Get someone from the Apollo cabin!" he yelled out. Some of the demigods under his command rushed to complete his order. Percy knelt next to Annabeth and gently lifted up her head. His hand was shaking, his heart was beating so fast and he felt afraid. So afraid that Annabeth would leave him and never come back this time.

"Hey," she said, weakly. She gave him a small smile as Percy tried to stop the bleeding.

"I'm sorry," Percy said, heartbroken. "I'm so sorry."

"Percy, it's okay," Annabeth said. She coughed a couple of times and Percy winced. This sounded bad. "I've been through this once, I can get through this again."

Percy's eyebrows furrowed. "Someone get a medic!" He yelled out again, his voice sounding desperate.

"Annabeth, stay with me," he said, tears threatening to break out. The amount of blood she was losing just increased and he got more worried.

"Always," she muttered as she struggled to keep her eyes open.

Suddenly, someone from the Apollo cabin arrived and began tending to her.

All Percy could do was pray to the Gods that she would be okay.


A/N:

It's been what? A year?

I am so sorry that I didn't update as much as I promised I would. I just had a lot of things from school to do and most of my plot bunnies had been deprived of ideas. This is currently the season where my teachers will pick a few people from my batch to become the Student Council for next year and I am trying my hardest to blend in. Being one of the members of the Student Council will mean more work and less writing.

Anyway, next word is Want.

Send me your quotes!

How did you like this chapter? I'm a little rusty from all the days I spent not writing.

I am currently writing a gore story which will be featured someday on my Wattpad. Check out the original stories that are already on that site. I am thinking of doing a werewolf story but I have to wait until the Scholastic Writers' Awards finish so that the company doesn't think that I'm copyrighting a story which is actually my own. Hah, imagine that. Copyrighting from yourself.

Anyway, see you guys soon. Hopefully, I'll have more time.

Have a great day and send me your thoughts.
