Annabeth

We've been through so much. I got kidnapped, he bathed in the Styx, we fought a war and survived, he was taken away, we found each other only to be torn apart, then we were thrown in Tartarus, came back, He was taken again, we rescued him, and then, he left.

He left because of himself.

He's scared of his powers, how are we supposed to save him from himself?

We don't even know where he went, or how he got his new powers, or what Polybotes did to him. Some girlfriend I am.

Was this supposed to happen? Was this foretold in the prophecy?

Seven Half-Bloods Shall

Answer The Call.

To Storm Or Fire, The World

Must Fall

An Oath To Keep With A Final

Breath,

And Foes Bear Arms To The

Doors Of Death.

Foes bear arms to the doors of death. Maybe I was wrong, are Percy and I meant to be enemies? Was that what the prophecy was talking about? This doesn't make sense.

Stop it Annabeth, you're overthinking it. (AN: italics is Annabeth's conscience)

But what if I'm not? What if I'm right about this. Maybe me and Percy just weren't meant to be.

Should I give up? All our plans to rescue him are failing. Is this a sign from the fates?

But what about Percy? Can I give up on him.

He left you

But he must have a reason right?

The Percy you know is gone, Polybotes has changed him, he doesn't think he can be rescued, he truly believes he's a monster

"Just Shut Up!" I accidentally yelled out loud.

Annabeth, you're a demigod, sacrifices must be made for the greater good of the world. You know this, you've seen it happen.

All of my dead friends flashed before my eyes.

Silena, Luke, Bianca, Charlie, Zoe, even Hazel. They all had to make sacrifices.

Now you must make one.

What am I supposed to do? On one hand there's the world, on the other...

What would Percy do?

Remember when you had to go on your solo quest? Percy had to make a sacrifice by letting you go. And you wanted him to as well. Don't you think Percy would want you to do the same?

I groaned, this was so hard!

You must make this decision on your own.

I can do this. I'm strong.

I know what I must do.

I stuck my head out the door and yelled at everyone to meet me in the dining hall in five minutes.

"Were going to what Annabeth?!"

"Hazel, I know this is hard, but we must move on, the sake of the world is on our hands, we must make sacrifices, please don't make this harder than it is" I told her.

"But Percy-"

"Would want us to move on, so we will"

She stayed silent after that, though I think I might have seen a few tears slip down her face.

She wasn't the only one. Frank, Piper, heck even Leo all seemed to be trying to keep neutral faces about the situation.

"Annabeth, are you sure this is what you want to do?" Jason asked

No, no I wasn't sure about anything right now. But someone had to make the decisions around here.

"Yes Jason, Percy refuses to be rescued, like you said, he's afraid of himself, if we try to go after him again, he will just refuse, we will be wasting out time."

"Maybe if we understand why we could-"

I cut him off, "Percy won't tell us anything, and without a reference we'll just be guessing, no Jason we have to move on"

"So what happens to him if we move on?"

That question caught me off guard. What will happen to him if we move on?

You've made your decision Annabeth, no going back now.

Ignoring his question I said, "It doesn't matter, what happens happens, we are powerless to stop it, if Percy refuses to come then it must be a sign from the fates to move on, we unfortunately don't make the rules here Jason." I was able to make out, "We don't need Percy by our side all the time, we'll manage"

God, those words made me feel so guilty.

"And if he dies?"

I was barely able to hold my tears in now, I got up from my chair going towards the door.

I paused, hand on the knob, "People die Jason, some sooner than others, and we can't help that"

And before he could respond, I walked out the door and rushed to my room, tears streaming down my face.

Forgetting, that I didn't tell them anything about the dream I had.

I laid awake that night, wondering if I made the right choice.

It's like you said Annabeth, "People die" If Percy dies, at least you'll might have saved the world.

You don't need Percy at your side. You're strong on your own. Remember Thalia?

Thalia. She had died for me. I was still alive, I still lived. If Percy dies, if he dies, then I might still be alive.

I'll manage without Seaweed Brain, I'm strong. My brain decided.

But my heart was ripped to shreds. Percy was what made me strong. If he dies and I live, I'll be living in a shell with no life.

I hated how weak I was. I ran away at 7 and managed, yet I can't make a simple choice. But it wasn't simple.

I hated how I cried all the time. I'm so sick of crying.

I couldn't do it any more. I couldn't keep dealing with all the sadness because of Percy. I have to move on.

Before I left Percy completely, I let myself sob to sleep.

I'm sorry Percy.

Then I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

So sorry I'm so late. Hope u liked that chapter. hehe. I think I like writing sad stuff. It must be my calling. So anyways bye.-greekgodsrox
