(A/N) Hey guys! First off, Happy Thanksgiving! So I'm writing this chapter for the holidays, but I might post another chapter before school starts next week so watch out! Anyways, back to the story.
Third Person POV
Percy ran towards her room, hoping he wasn't too late. He burst through the door, looking around the room for Achilles. He finally saw her sitting straight up in her bed with the most terrified look he had ever seen.
"Achilles!" Percy said, running up to her, before hugging her. "Why did you scream? I thought something terrible happened to you!" Percy whispered into her ear.
Achilles sat there immobilized(A/N Yeah I can use big, fancy words! Got a problem with that?) not sure if she should say or not. "I...I...It's nothing..." she muttered.
He stepped away and looked her in the eyes. "Achilles...you can tell me what happened. I will never judge you, no matter what. So tell me."
"It's my mum...she's sick, and I saw in my dream that she's almost dead...I want to be by her side when she dies...but I don't want to leave you."
She said finally looking into his eyes. All he could see were her tears, covering her beautiful golden eyes.
He sighed. He didn't want her to leave either, but family should always come first. At least, that's what he thought. "I think you should go." He said to her, even if it was only partially true.
Achilles sniffled. "You hate me so much you want me to leave?"
Percy looked shocked. "NO! That's the last thing I would ever want! But you should go to your mother. This may be the last time you'll ever see her. Always put your loved ones before your own needs." Percy said.
Achilles looked at Percy. "But you are one of my loved ones." Achilles yelled, tears now rolling off her face.
Percy's eyes widened. He wiped the tears off her face with his thumb. "But who has been your loved one for the most time?" Achilles nodded, albeit sadly. She sniffled but started to gather her belongings.
Percy helped her by gathering things around the cabin. He helped her pack. He helped her carry out her luggage. He loaded her luggage onto the raft and turned to face her, probably for the last time.
"Goodbye Achilles." He said with tears in his eyes and rolling down his face.
"Goodbye Percy." She said, the same thing happening to her. She turned to get on the raft but Percy wheeled her around. She looked confused at first, but her face turned to shock as Percy kissed her with the most passion he could muster. She kissed back with all of her heart.
They pulled away from each other and held each other's hands as they walked down to the raft. Percy helped her get onto it, and gave her one last kiss. "I'll never forget you Achilles." He said holding her hand.
"And I will never forget you Percy." She said.
Percy pushes the raft adrift and watches her drift away. Hs walks back to his cabin and walks through the hall stopping at the now colorless silver of Achilles' room.
Sitting on his bed, he now realized something. This was how the gods had taken his love away. They had made her mother sick. Just to hurt his heart. He realized that it was his fault her mother was about to die...everything was his fault.
With this realization he took out Riptide and aimed it at his heart, before shoving it through himself.
The last thing he would ever hear would be the thunk of his body hitting the floor...or so he thought.
