Hope you like this new chapter! Please review! Happy Reading!
Annabeth
I gently grab Percy's hand. I already see red creeping through the bandages and know that Will will probably change them in a little while. I am so worried about him. I say a prayer to the gods that he will be okay. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't. I need a distraction
so I grab my laptop and am about to work on my plans for Olympus when my head starts throbbing and my ribs still feel like they are being hit repeatedly with the hilt of a sword. I lie back on my pillow and fall asleep to the rhythm of Percy's heart monitor.
I dream that I am falling into Tartarus again, but this time Percy is not with me. I fall through darkness and suddenly I land hard on the ground and my ankle throbs. Looking around I see Percy lying on the ground. I run over and see that his normally mesmerizing sea green eyes are blank. He has been dead for a while and there is no chance I can save him. I sob into his shoulder knowing that I will never see him alive again. After crying for a while I stand up and see monsters have surrounded me. All at once they pounce and are on top of me. I thrash and scream but nothing is working. "Annabeth, wake up," I hear someone yell.
I open my eyes and see Will and Nico looking worried. Will has his hands planted firmly on my shoulders and Nico is gently holding my feet. I must have been thrashing around while I was dreaming. Will removes his hands from my shoulders. "Annabeth, are you okay?" He asks worriedly.
"Yes, just a bad dream." I respond. They both nod understandingly. The silence starts to get a little awkward. "How is Percy?" I ask. "His burns are worse than I thought but his heartbeat and breathing are relatively normal." Will says. "Can you give him nectar to make the burns heal faster?" I ask, just wanting Percy to be okay. "I wish I could," Will says, "but I don't want to give him too much. If he can't tell me when it's too much it's not worth me risking it." I nod understandingly. Too much nectar or ambrosia can make you burn up. I close my eyes trying to sort through all of this information. My concussion makes it harder to concentrate and process large amounts of information. "Is everything okay?" Nico asks. "Yea, just a little headache. It's harder to concentrate than normal." Nico and Will pass a look between each other. "Okay," Will says, a little skeptical. "I'll leave you to rest and come back in a little while." Will has been super busy with me and Percy. He looks like he could sleep for days. I know that he needs a break, so even though I would like him to stay, I let him go.
I am working on my Olympus plans when my stomach starts to hurt. I tell myself that it's nothing but it's worse than most stomach aches I've had. I close my laptop and lie back on my pillow. I just have to tough it out. I probably just ate something that didn't agree with me. Suddenly, it feels like someone stabbed me in the stomach with a sword. I scream and double over holding my stomach. I try to stop screaming but it hurts too much. Tears stream down my cheeks and blur my vision. Will runs over and asks what's wrong but all I can manage is to point at my stomach. The pain is worse than anything that I have ever felt.
Will orders me to lie flat and that makes the pain even worse. He starts to push on different points of my stomach, when he pushes on the lower right side I scream even louder. Then, the pain fades away and every thing goes dark as I pass out.
Sorry for the cliffhanger! Once I get a few reviews I'll post the next chapter!
