Okay, this is the other chapter that I had to make up. I think I got all the basic stuff down that was effected by last chapter, but yeah. Alright! I'm good!
Enjoy!
Chapter 38
Percy
"WHAT?" Annabeth cried. "Give her to me!"
"No!" Jason wept. "She's gone, and I'm never going to get to hear her laugh again, or see her smile, or anything!"
Annabeth knelt down and felt Piper's pulse.
And they waited.
Annabeth stood up and brushed off her hands of her jeans. "She's alive."
"Really?!" Jason felt her pulse. And waited.
He sighed in relief. "It's there. It's slow and faint, but it's there."
Annabeth checked Percy as well. "He's okay, too."
Leo let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding.
"Okay, we have to keep talking to them now. Percy has a slight bluish tint to his face," Reyna muttered.
"No, not my Seaweed Brain," Annabeth knelt down next to Percy's motionless body and held his hand.
"Now that you mention it, Piper looks kinda blue, too," Leo said over Jason's shoulder.
"Piper, wake up, Piper," Jason whispered anxiously.
Suddenly, the ground was rumbling, and Leo shouted, "Earthquake!"
They carried Percy and Piper under a tree and left them there.
"I left the stuff!" Annabeth shouted and ran from under the tree before anyone could stop her.
"Annabeth, wait!" Leo shouted.
Leo was about to race after her, when a gigantic, blue foot attached to a hairy, blue ankle, stepped right in front of the tree.
The ground shook.
"Not an earthquake," Leo guessed.
"No, really?" Reyna snapped.
"Little Demigods, Little Demigods, where are you?" A voice bellowed from above. "I've been sent to put you back in timeout!"
Hazel squeaked nervously.
"What is it?" Frank asked, and everyone jumped.
"Gods, Zhang," Reyna scolded. "I'd forgetten you were even here. Don't scare us like that!"
"Sorry," Frank mumbled.
"That's the Cyclopes that brought me to Gaea's cave in the first place. Broke everything in my lower body," Hazel whispered, and she shivered.
Frank drew his sword, and charged the Cyclopes before Hazel could say otherwise.
"Frank!" she shrieked as he brought the blade through his foot, the height of Hazel herself.
The Cyclopes shouted in agony and started hopping around on one foot.
"THAT'S FOR MY GIRLFRIEND! GO TO TARTURAS!" Frank shouted, and stalked back under the tree.
"And the best part is," Frank said to all their horrified faces, "he doesn't even know where I am."
"Demons, attack! Avenge Gaea, and my foot!" the Cyclopes cried.
"Nice work, Frank," Reyna grumbled as they all drew their weapons.
And suddenly, the area was flooded with demons.
As Percy walked around the forest, the trees grew around him, and he felt like he was only two inches tall.
The forest rumbled, and he looked up to see Annabeth walking up to him, as tall as the trees around him.
"Annabeth!" he shouted up to her.
She looked down and screamed her head off. "SPIDER!" she screamed again and ran off in the opposite direction.
"Annabeth, WAIT!" he called after her, but she was gone.
"I'm not so sure if I'm scared of that one," he called out to nobody, "but it did make me sad."
Percy continued to wonder through the forest, wondering what kind of fear he'd face next.
He suddenly saw Annabeth, her back turned to him, and she whimpered, "I-I'm sorry!"
Then, he saw Luke, standing in front of her. "I don't care if you're sorry. I told you not to look at him ever again, and what do you do? LOOK at him!"
Then, Luke raised a hand and hit Annabeth.
She collapsed to the ground and he kicked her. A couple times.
Then, Luke stormed out and left, and Percy could hear the small click of a locking door.
"This is all Percy's fault!" he heard Annabeth say. "I HATE YOU, PERCY!"
That wrapped up about two fears at once. That Annabeth would hate him, which he'd already seen, technically, and that someone abused Annabeth, and Percy couldn't help her in anyway.
And, oh yeah, in the end it would be his fault.
Percy wondered around the forest feeling miserable, until suddenly, he fell. When he tried to get up, he was dragged toward one of the trees.
He clawed at the ground and screamed for help, but as soon as he was under a tree, it stopped, and he was able to stand up again.
Well, that was odd, he thought as he brushed some subconscious dirt off his subconscious pants.
He continued to walk and suddenly, he saw a shadow, and froze. But, just as quickly, it was gone.
He was about to keep walking, when there were suddenly hands around his neck, lifting him into the air.
"This is for everything, Percy," he heard Annabeth hiss, but this couldn't be her, because she wouldn't do this.
Then she realized that one of his fears was that she'd kill him.
Percy started to scratch at the hand around his neck, the hands that he knew so well.
He couldn't breathe. He tried to take in air, but it wouldn't go past his mouth. He screamed, and then finally, Annabeth let him go.
He fell to the ground and looked up at her. She had hate in her eyes. "I know you're not dead, Seaweed Brain," she snarled.
And he used to find that name so endearing!
"What did I do, again?" Percy asked.
"SHUT UP!" she shouted, and she drew her knife from her belt.
And she stabbed him.
Then she left her knife and ran off.
Suddenly, the knife dissolved, but the wound remained, painful and true.
He couldn't stand. If he tried, it was like a blinding pain that forced spots to nearly cover his vision.
He stayed their, on the ground, bleeding, when the ground around him burst into flames.
The heat was scalding, but that's not what scared him.
All of his friends showed up in the flames, screaming and burning. "Help us, Percy!"
Then Grover muttered, "He wouldn't help us. He shoved us in here in the first place."
Then the screaming filled the forest, and the fire died, leaving piles of ash where his friends had been.
Percy closed his eyes and felt the subconscious blood trickle down and stain his subconscious shirt.
Wait a sec, his eyes flew open. This is my subconscious! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!
He thought about his wound healing, and when he looked down, it was gone.
He stood up and thought about his friends, and the piles of ash turned back into people.
The thought about all of his fears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Annabeth standing up to the abusive Luke, he saw Annabeth telling him he loved him. He saw all his fears being reversed, and then he made hole in the middle of the forest. He knew what is was as soon as it appeared, and as soon as he stepped through it…
Percy's eyes flew open. He felt blood rushing to his head, and he had a serious head ache.
"Let go of him! PERCY, WAKE UP!" he heard Annabeth shout.
"Okay!" he called back.
"PERCY!" he heard from behind him.
"Hazel?" he asked.
"Yeah. Sorry, we got attacked by demons and a Cyclopes while you were out. We're being carried away right now. Don't know where, but we are," Hazel replied.
"I don't care," Percy said, and he drew his sword. "We're getting out of here," and he stabbed the Cyclopes in the hand.
