Percy
"You did WHAT!"
"I did what I had to do." Nico said defiantly.
"Why did you tell him Nico!" I yelled back.
"Because you weren't going to!" He yelled, jabbing his finger at me when he said 'you.'
I was so frustrated that I found myself pacing, "Don't you get it? I'm trying to keep them out of this! What you just did is not helping."
I turned to face him, he was looking right back at me in a strange way, but I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
He dropped his gaze and breathed out, his hands went to the back of his head, "Percy, when you get there, they'll be able to help you, I know what you swore and I know you can't tell them, so I did. But forget it, I'm not having this argument with you again. Let's get you to the coast"
He strode towards a corner in the shadows, away from the sunlight, and gestured for me to follow. We had agreed to leave at noon but Nico was late, and then we had bandage me up again. So it was about 3 o'clock when he got back. Then Nico insisted that we wait a little longer, because apparently, the later it is, the easier it is to travel. Or something like that. It was still light out, but he'd decided it was good enough. Once I got there he held out his hand, his eyes glittered mischievously, "Shall we"
I hesitantly took his hand and was then engulfed in darkness.
The travel was more than "just a little bumpy" like Nico had said. It was more like being in a car crash that flew off a cliff and then proceeded to hit a bridge and fall into a lake. I almost threw up twice.
There was wind blowing from every direction. We were moving at an incredible pace. Every once in a while I would see a snippet of a random location between the folds of darkness, but we always traveled passed them and the locations were gone from sight.
Nico had shouted something in my ear but it was lost to the wind.
Suddenly, the darkness beneath our feet opened up and together, instinctually, I shut my eyes closed as Nico and I plummeted through the sky onto hot burning sand, our hands still clasped together
Nico had landed on his back with a grunt. I slowly peeled my eyes open and found that I had landed on top of him. I looked down at him and saw that he was looking right back, wide eyed.
In a quick motion, I jumped off of him and pretended to brush sand off my hair. Nico got up, bright red. Knowing me, I was probably the same shade as him.
Nico quickly recovered from our awkward moment and turned to face me.
"Well, I got us here, now what?" He asked
"I'm gonna go heal myself now," I paused, and looked at him dead in they eye, "Remind me to never travel with you ever again"
I turned around towards the water before he had a chance to protest. Behind me, Nico had walked in the opposite direction and sat on a patch of sand in the shade. When I got to the water I crouched down and out-streched my hand to the water. I waited a few seconds and felt...Nothing.
I frowned. Maybe I was worse than I thought.
"Hang on Nico, I'll be right back." I called out behind me.
"Wait Percy! Where are you going?" Nico exclaimed, jumping up from his spot on the sand and running to me.
"It's not really working right now, I'm going to submerge myself. Just give me a minute or so." I said back to him as I waded into the water. Nico had reached the water, about to call out to me again, but before he said anything, I dove in.
I started to swim down, getting farther and farther away from shore. The farther I swam, the slower I got. Which puzzled me, something must have been dragging me down.
Oh, of course, wet cloths. I must have been really distracted since I was wet. I willed myself dry. Nothing happened. What? Actually, I wasn't feeling any better either. My stomach still hurt like Hel. (see what I did there? Huh? Mango Cheese fans? lol, I need to find some friends…)
In fact, my lungs felt like they were going to burst. I could't breath! Something was wrong. I clammed my mouth shut and began for the surface.
I had swum further down then I thought, I wasn't going to make it. My wound had given me immense pain. My lungs felt like that just taken a blown, my legs felt like lead. My head felt fuzzy. The water wasn't helping me. I wasn't going to make it.
A few feet away from the surface I couldn't go on any longer. I started to sink, falling from the waves that were above me. I attempted one last breath, but instead of air,y lungs were filled with water. This was my worst fear come true. Today I was going to drown. My head felt woozy and I felt myself losing consciousness. I looked up to the sky as my eyes began to unwillingly blink close.
Was Nico going to find me dead at the bottom of the ocean? Would I wash up ashore? Maybe it's for the best that I was going to die. At least I can't hurt anyone. I'll get to see Silena, Luke, and so many others.
As I took my last look at the living world, I realized with my last dying thought,
I never said goodbye to Annabeth.
Then the world around me disappeared.
