Chapter 4
I woke every so often and could feel myself getting weaker and weaker every time. I was still on the ledge, and at least I think I had been there for almost an entire day. I was baffled that someone hadn't found me as there was usually someone at least at one time or another throughout the day that jumped off this ledge. Campers always did during their free time.
I was getting a little scared now. Had something happened to camp half blood while I had been on the ledge passed out? Suddenly, I heard the voice of Grover coming somewhere from the field above calling out my name. I wanted more than anything to call back or show him that I was there but I could barely move. I tried maybe moving the water below in a way that he would notice. The only somewhat good idea that I came up with was maybe trying to make a water bubble float high enough so he could see it.
I looked down at the water and tried to move my hand. Slowly, I started forming a tiny little water bubble but I didn't have enough energy to get it up to where Grover could see it. I knew that this would be the end. This would be my last day of life. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Annabeth. I took a deep breath and my eyes closed for what I thought would be the last time.
It was one of the strangest things I have ever experienced. It was like the dreams except it seemed so much more faded. I wasn't the one in the dream, but it was like I was watching someone else's. I saw Nico dreaming about Bianca and I saw Grover with his girlfriend, and for the first time in a while, I smiled, or whatever dead people do.
This wasn't like dreams where you can't just skip from one to another. I could go from person to person, from place to place. It was like I was just watching a never-ending movie. I had no idea how long I had been dead. It hadn't seemed like too long, but times can be different.
I wanted too see Annabeth so bad but I was scared to. I didn't know in what time we were in or where she was and up to this point I had been too nervous. I knew I had to at some point. I urged myself to think about her and right after I wished I hadn't.
She and all of the other empousa were in a massive mob walking straight toward camp half-blood. She was in the front next to Kelli, which didn't surprise me. Her face was so full of hatred and malice that it was nearly impossible for me even to look at it. But I had to. Besides her expression and her pupils being a midnight black, she was still beautiful. Her long blonde hair was tied in a loose ponytail over her shoulder and her lips were perfect. I kept looking at her for who knows how long.
For a second I thought I saw something. Her eyes turned to a blue for a second. Could that be a sign? Was the old Annabeth still inside? Was she still fighting the venom? I hoped she was. I wished that I would be there when she came to camp. I had never wanted anything more my entire life. I couldn't explain it, but a bright hot white light seemed to ripping me apart from the inside. I screamed louder than I knew I ever had before.
The light was ripping me apart. I didn't know what hurt more, wanting to see Annabeth or this pain. Suddenly, the light stopped. I could still feel it inside me and I looked at my arm to see it glowing. I stared at it for longer and realized I was slowly getting tired. I didn't know you could be tired when you were dead but I had never had the urge to sleep so strongly.
A wave washed over me and I could feel my eyelids slowly closing. At the last minute, I thought I saw a hand moving over my face slowly. I could sense whatever force this was was what was making me fall asleep. I didn't know if I was imagining it or not but I felt as if someone's light fingertips were forcing my eyelids shut.
I sensed someone ticking my nose. It felt as if it were a real sensation too, not just one that I felt when I was in my "dead" state. I tried to open my eyelids but it felt like lead weights were weighing them down. I heard ruffling and a distant voice whispering my name.
With herculean strength, I forced my eyelids open. I needed to know where I was, what was happening around me. I looked up to see nothing but bright blue. I could hear the sound of water crashing against the side of the cliff. I was here. The place where I died. It's not possible. I was DEAD!
I looked around me, who had been the one that had been calling my name? There was no one on the top of the cliff looking down. I looked around me until I saw a fish swimming around in the water below me. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen. I wondered how long he had been down there just looking at me. I was curios about the fish but I knew he was a trivial issue compared to everything else. I didn't know if Annabeth was here yet. Maybe her and the others had already taken over the camp. Not knowing what was above me was the scariest thing of all.
I felt this new type of strength that I had never felt before. That was when I realized that my legs were no longer mangled on the ground. They were back to the way that they were before. I stood up and was slightly wobbly at first. I mean, I hadn't actually walked for a while now.
I leaped into the water below, and had a large wave take me to the top of the cliff. To my surprise, the camp looked the same as I had remembered. It was as if nothing had even happened, like I hadn't been gone at all.
That was until I heard the unmistakable scream of Grover.
