Hi everybody! This is the next chapter! Okay…now I just wanted to say…as I keep writing, there will be more suspense, and more action pack to it. I am pretty much hope you like my story, and yeah. Well, please enjoy! :D
Percy POV:
"You have five minutes before visiting hours are over. Go!" the guard screeched in a quite annoying tone to me. I ran in, and soon on the way corner saw Annabeth's frail body.
"Annabeth?" I asked, tears in my eyes.
"Percy?" I heard Annabeth's voice. It was weak, and I broke down.
"Annabeth!" I said, shaking the doors open. "Why can't this stupid door open?"
"I will open this for you," the guard shrieked. He opened the door, and pushed me inside. I fell down on the cold floor, and immediately sat next to Annabeth. Annabeth sneezed, and began to cry. Once the guard was out of sight, I cradled her.
"Annabeth," I said, tears falling down my eyes. It was already bad enough that Annabeth is gone, but her sick? I can't stand this.
"Percy…please do not cry," she said, wiping my tears, her hands shivering.
"How can't I?" I asked, crying even harder. "Annabeth…are you eating your food properly?"
"Percy," Annabeth said. "You know…they…they don't serve food properly. At least for me."
"What?" I shrieked. "What do you eat?"
"Nothing," she said, looking so weak. "I live off of water."
"Water? Why would he-,"
"But…" Annabeth said, looking sideways, and finally whispered in my ears. "Rachel sneaks pastries for me. She is so nice."
"Really?" I asked, smiling. "I should thank her."
"And…" she continued. "she is dating Luke."
"Perfect couple," I said, hugging Annabeth.
"Percy…how is the village?"
"The village?"
"Yeah…are the buildings destroying?"
"Of course not," I said. "But, we are planning a barrier. We can never make his majesty ever trespass our land like last time."
"Good," Annabeth said, tears starting to form her eyes. "At least you are making things safe before I die."
When I heard those words, I froze. "Annabeth-,"
"Reality is reality," she said, crying. "Dad's probably going to kill me. He has those fierce eyes…and just because I hadn't lived with him for such a long time, doesn't mean I don't know him. I know him completely. I know his weaknesses, fears, anger, plans, hobbies, personality, favorite food…okay, just about everything. Dad will kill me. When he's angry, he will do anything to get revenge. Except when Mom died. Well…actually he did take revenge by destroying the whole territory of the rebels. Okay…that won't be an example."
"Please Annabeth…think positively! You are positive! Why aren't you thinking that way?"
"Percy…I'm so sorry for dragging you with me! At least you are safe."
"Annabeth-,"
"How's the chamber?" Annabeth asked, suddenly changing her tears to a smile. "I specifically remember those days…it's nice. How we worked that hard…"
"Annabeth-,"
"I don't know when I am going to get killed, but remember that I love you so much. You must remember that. Percy…I love you."
I couldn't take it anymore. I kissed her, and she responded back. But the sad thing was that her lips were cold, and she kissed weakly. Her condition…
"I'm sorry I'm causing all this pain. I should be enduring this pain-,"
"Please Percy," she said, crying even harder. "I don't want you to feel that guilt. You are so special, and you have a family. You support them."
"Annabeth-," I say. But she kisses me, and I can see she drains all her energy out. She kissed passionately, and I did the same. We kissed till the guard came, and dragged me out.
"NO!" I screamed. "I'm not parting-,"
"Percy! I love you!" I heard Annabeth shout. She drained so much of her energy, that when I took one last peek she has collapsed. She must have fainted. Annabeth…why does she have to faint? I kept kicking and panting to see Annabeth, but the guards led me away. I screamed, and they threw me to the ground.
"Whoever you are, get out of here! Visit tomorrow! And I advise you to not see that traitor. She mocked his majesty; so shameless."
I froze. Before I knew it, I did something.
The guard collapsed down, having a bloody nose.
Annabeth POV:
I woke up, and when I looked around, I saw one brick out. I peered in, and saw Percy in another cell, snoring.
"Percy?" I whispered. "What are you doing here?"
"Me?" Percy asked sleepily.
"Percy!"
"What?" Percy asked, starting to stretch.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh…I'm in jail for two days."
"Excuse me?"
"Two days in jail. Two days having fun with you."
"Excuse me?"
"Annabeth…I punched the guard."
"And why would you do that?" I asked, twitching my eye.
"Because," Percy said. "He made fun of you. He called you shameless. And he said you were a traitor. I'm not going to make him stand there, and saying that to me was a mistake. A huge mistake. And guess what Annabeth? It was quite funny when he got a bloody nose."
"Percy! I wanted you to be safe, and all you do is just stay in jail! Why did you do this? Why did you-,"
"Because you're someone I love. Do you think I'll make that idiotic man call you those words? Do you think," Percy said, tears forming down. "Do you know how much I care for you? Why would I punch a guard? I know my guard Annabeth. But because I cared for you so much…love you so much…I risked myself to go to jail. For you. Annabeth…it's all because of love. I'm not crazy to just punch a random person from an insult. I have to say, love can make you crazy!"
I suddenly changed my face into a smile. "I'm glad I can at least can talk to you for two days!"
"Me too…"
"By the way…um…can you explain the taken off bricks?" I asked, curiously.
"Oh that? I melted the bricks with fire. If they want dungeons to be stable, they should never put sticks here, and the brick quality should be at least good!"
"True. Well…being in jail isn't that good as you think!" I joked.
"Don't worry," Percy said. "I'm enjoying it, and I will make it memorable."
