Okay everyone, here is the new update, it was difficult to write, mostly because of the things going through Percy's head. And if you wonder why he can't focus much, or why his thoughts bounce back and forth, it's blood-loss. Now, on with answering reviews:
Don't touch my Seaweed Brain: Yay! They're almost there. If you kill Percy the donuts of the world will rise up against you. with me as their leader. you do not touch my seaweed brain! but, i really love u're story, its amazing and please dont ever abandon it. Like i said: Donut army. you have the power to controll the fates, so use it. it's okay to fatally injure him, cuz it's adorable when Annabeth's overprotective! Thank you! LOVE THIS STORY! HAVE A COOKIE (::)! Okay, personally, your army of Donuts terrify me! And I am using my power over the fates. Also, I too think it's adorable that Annabeth is protective of Percy. I think you guys will be finding Chapter 23 shocking when it comes*SPOILER*. And, I don't plan on abandoning it, the only reason I will is if people tell me to.
xXMoonshineXx: I can't what to find out what their reactions will be to the state Percy is in ;D Oh, don't worry, they'll be worth it. Also, vice versa, you'll find out in Chapter 23 what I mean*SPOILER*! And Percy is in a pretty shitty state right now, as you'll see below.
v: it was great im loving it it has enough of everything and ure doing everyones povs good plus u have the right amount of percabeth and the other characters that keep us infomed on everything on what ther going through so great job Thank you, I like it when people tell me I do a good job! I appreciate it, and I try to do well on peoples p.o.v's So I thank you again.
HarryLuvsGinny4Ever22: You liar! Lol poor Percy! :( He keeps getting wounded... great work, update soon - and to give you some motivation, here's some virtual cookies: (::)(::)(::)(::)(:{ Oops, sorry... I got hungry! How dare you eat half of one of my cookies! JK! You can go ahead and eat some! But I think it adds to the drama when Percy gets hurt(By the way I'm a guy, and I'm not gay! that's to all the haters out there!) Sorry, had to point that out, but good good reviews give me much motivation.
Also, when I ask reviews, I ask for a reason! I actually don't have a lot of confidence in myself. I had my confidence beaten out of me when I was ten, and I made a story, but all the other kids laughed at me, called me gay, and basically made fun of me. So when I ask for reviews, I'm not being selfish, it just helps me gain self-confidence back. But don't worry, no one makes fun of me anymore(I am six-feet tall, and only 15). So thank you for listening to my rant, and please leave a favorite and a review, it seriously helps me feel better! Now, ON WITH THE STORY!:
Percy
Percy felt like the whole world had been drained of color, except Annabeth. On top of all that, he was hallucinating. Probably due to blood-loss, but everywhere he looked, he would see his mom, trying to hand him a blue chocolate chip cookie, but then she would turn into a monster, and evaporate. Or, he would see Grover in a wedding dress, just like during his second quest, and he kept saying: "Help me Percy, your my only hope." and then he'd turn into a horse, and gallop away. Percy felt like he was being driven crazy, the only thing that kept him anchored to the world, was Annabeth. He tried to keep focused on her, and he tried to avoid looking around. It was becoming increasingly difficult, he kept feeling nauseous, got major headaches, and he felt like his legs were made of jelly.
It was all Percy could do to stay awake, he knew he wouldn't be able to fight, not like this. His eyes felt all heavy, they were demanding that he closed them, but when he did Annabeth would tell him to keep them open. He had a feeling, that if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't open them again. He was also hallucinating that he was fighting Kronos again, he kept seeing the scythe slashing towards him, and he would flinch. He was almost unable to tell the difference between what was real, and what wasn't real, the borders were starting to fade. Reality blurred with non, and the world looked black and white. The only thing that was colored was Annabeth.
Percy looked at Annabeth, and he thought she was glowing, probably a side-effect of the blood loss. Annabeth looked at him, he eyes puffy, and she kept saying, "Your going to be fine Percy, you'll be okay." over and over, he couldn't tell if she was trying to convince him, or herself. His head was now pounding, it felt like it was splitting itself, and he just wanted to close his eyes. The idea of sleeping was becoming more, and more tempting. It seemed like closing his eyes would be a good idea, just for a few minutes. He couldn't fight it anyomore, he closed his eyes.
"PERCY!" Annabeth screamed, and he lazily opened his eyes.
"Wha-what?" Percy mumbled.
"I'm so sorry, but you can't go to sleep!" Annabeth told him, gently, but there was finality to it.
"I'm so tired, m-my head, i-it h-hu-hurts." Percy stuttered, his eyes growing heavy.
"Percy," Annabeth said, she stopped and took his face in her hands, "please, for me, don't go to sleep, please?" she had tears in her eyes.
"I-I'll try, I-I'll do i-it for you." Percy managed to say. Annabeth smiled sadly, and she kissed him, before she leaned him against her, and continued on. As they continues trudging on, he felt his head go whoozy again. His eyelids were so heavy now, he just wanted to close his eyes. What's wrong with going to sleep now? he thought. He was getting angry, angry that he couldn't sleep. His body was demanding sleep, and Annabeth wasn't letting him obey. He was starting to forget where they were, he was having trouble thinking. They were in Tartarus, he remembered after a few minutes. He felt like a cloud was covering his mind, preventing him from thinking clearly. He remembered his name, and Annabeth, and that his father was Poseidon, his mother was Sally. He remembered little bits, but he couldn't sort out whether they were real or fake.
"Ann-Annabeth?" Percy mumbled.
"Yes Percy?" she replied.
"Wh-where are we go-going?" he couldn't remember, no matter how hard he tried.
"Oh Percy." she sobbed, "I'm sorry." she took a deep breath, "We're in Tartarus." Percy thought it over for a second.
"Yes, that's where we are, thank you." he said shakily. After awhile of walking, he began feeling cold. This cold settled right over his heart, making everything feel miserable. Percy was freezing, right to his core, every fiber of him was cold. Soon enough, his teeth began chattering, only a little. He shivered, and Annabeth noticed. She quickly stopped, and put her hand to Percy's head, her touch made him feel a little warmer.
"Oh gods!" Annabeth said, shock plain in her voice, "Percy, your burning up!" Percy tried to think, burning, burning meant warmth, and Percy felt so cold.
"B-but I'm-I'm cold, I'm not warm." Percy stuttered.
"Oh gods, your having a fever, you need to be warmer." Annabeth was now hugging him tightly, though he didn't know why.
"I-I love you too, but why are you hold-holding me?" Percy asked confused.
"I'm transfering body-heat, I'm trying to halt your fever a little." She replied, tears in her eyes now. Heat, yes, heat was good, heat made him warm, and he wanted to be very warm. He was feeling really whoozy now, things were beginning to spiral. He was seeing stars at the edge of his vision, those were round and round. Now he really wanted to close his eyes, mostly to stop the spinninng now.
"Heat, he-heat is good, I fe-feel cold, s-so cold." he stuttered out. Annabeth was crying now, and Percy was barely aware of it. In his mind, all he could process was he was feeling warmer. He semi-conciously held her closer, to comfort her, and to get more warmth. The stars were slowly disappearing, and the world stopped spinning. He desperately wanted to close his eyes, but Annabeth said not to. She put her hand to his head again.
"It's gone down a little, but we need to get you out of here, fast." she said.
"O-okay, fast, fast me-means soon, right?" he asked, unsure of what words were meaning at this point.
"Yes Percy, we're going to get you out of here, fast." Annabeth assured him. They kept trudging deeper and deeper, time felt unreal, it was all he could do to focus on Annabeth, and not fall asleep. The drums, or booms, and shouting grew louder, but Percy couldn't remember what they meant...
Okay, so if your wondering, Percy is suffering from blood-loss, the Chimera poison, and now fever. I hope you enjoyed this, and don't forget to leave a review! And As Always, Have A Nice Day!
