CHAPTER 5: I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU

Annabeth's POV:

Chiron woke me up and practically forced me out of the infirmary, I hadn't eaten in two days and the shadows under my eyes were the proof that I wasn't getting a good night's sleep. He told Rachel to keep me entertained so I wouldn't spend all my time next to Percy's bed; he still hadn't woken up and it was getting really frustrating.

So first she took me to my cabin and I showered and changed my clothes, we ate breakfast and then we went to the lake, as soon as she found out that being there actually made me think of him more she decided we should practice some archery. I played nice and did everything she wanted me to do but my heart wasn't on it. Chiron had made me promise that I wouldn't go to the infirmary before lunch time and it took all my willpower no to break it. Grover joined us while we were shooting arrows at moving targets and we were about to finish when Nico came running as if he was being chased by an army of monsters.

"Percy's awake!" he shouted.

Percy's POV:

For a moment my body felt like it was still surrounded by black smoke and invisible fire so I had to suppress the urge of screaming again. I woke up to find Chiron and Nico at each side of my bed so I supposed I was back at camp in the infirmary. I really couldn't remember much about what had happened to me in the Underworld except for the pain and hopeless feeling I had, knowing that I'd be dead soon. After I just couldn't take it anymore I passed out and then everything went black. Chiron told Nico to let someone know I was awake and then leaned closer to me.

"Percy, how are you my boy?" I tried to respond but my mouth felt dry.

"Umm... fi-fine" well, obviously not that fine. I tried to rise into a sitting position ignoring Chiron's attempt to keep me lying on the bed. I rested my back against the wall and slowly let all my senses come back to normal. I was about to close my eyes again when a really loud scream came through the door.

"PERCY JACKSON HOW DARE YOU DOING THAT TO ME?" Annabeth approached like a storm and gave me a kiss that made me wake up completely now. Tears starting to form in her eyes but she held them; she hated when people saw her crying.

"I'm sorry?" I was feeling a little bit better now.

"Nico come and help me send Percy's mom a message telling her he woke up." Chiron said.

"Why do you need help with that?" Then Annabeth gave him the evil look and he stormed away from the room following Chiron.

"I was so worried about you. What were they doing to you?" she leaned against my chest.

"I really have no idea… they said something about using my strength but I can't remember much, only that I was burning and…" my voice broke I little and when Annabeth rose to meet my eyes I just had to look away. I hated feeling that weak.

"Hey, it´s okay Percy…I would be shaken up too if I had gone through that. But you´re here now, you´re alive" she kissed me again and with that I started to feel better.

So I stayed in the infirmary the rest of the day but since I really was feeling better Chiron let me go to spend the night in my cabin. For the first time in days the night was quiet and I thought I would get a good night sleep but, of course, I'm a demigod and that just never happens.

I dreamed I was back in the underworld, at first I felt like I was burning to death again but then I realized it was just the impression of being there. The red monster was there but he wasn't alone, there was another figure next to him with a coat made of…smoke all around him. He had an energy aura of power and evil and he looked straight at me even though he shouldn't have been able to: "You served me well little hero, now I have your strength and more, thanks to you I live again but I'm not done with you, I need one more thing" I felt fear closing up in my throat, what else did he want? "Unfortunately all you're strength wasn't quite enough to give me all my powers back, but now that you can be pained, I shall use you once more and rise to RULE THE WORLD"

I woke up feeling like I was choking, my heart was going to explode and I couldn´t breathe. I concentrated hard on trying to calm myself down and slowly I could breathe again. All I could think about was that horrible voice and the things it had said. That very last sentence made me get an awful idea about what had happened to me but I needed to know for sure.

What is the Lord talking about? What else does he want from Percy?

I guess you're gonna have to wait a few days to find out… and maybe leave a review ;)

-Peace!
