A/n: I know all of you are saying 'Don't kill Annabeth', you'll just have to wait to see if I do or not. There is a surprise at the last A/n =3, also, could beta readers please review this story? Because I want to see if I could improve it in some way. Thank you for reading through-out the story, enjoy the last chapter and RRF.
Percy's POV;
Annabeth can't die. No, please say Chiron's lying. Please gods; I can't live without her... Please. I noticed myself starting to tear up; I wiped my tears from the corner of my eye with my hand. I looked over at the others sitting down. Thalia was bawling her eyes out, Nico didn't show any emotion at all and Malcolm was holding back tears. I stood up, and stormed out the room to Annabeth.
I slammed the door open, searching for Annabeth's bed. I noticed her in the corner of the room; she was pale with black bags circling her eyes. She looked weak, as if she could've die any second now.
"Do you know?" I shouted to her, walking towards her.
"Yes." She laid back her head as if it was nothing.
"Are you not scared at all?"
"Everyone's going to die one day, Percy. Even you,"
"You can't die now Annabeth. You have your whole life ahead of you, your busy building Olympus for Zeus' sake. It just wouldn't be fair to anyone if you did." I cried, bending down to hold her hand.
"Don't make this harder for me. It's ok. Honest, just remember me is all I ask."
"No, Annabeth. I can't let you die." I walked out the room, to think of a way to stop it.
Thalia's POV;
I can't imagine how Percy could feel; everyone knows he loves her, apart from her of course. All of us decided to leave Percy do what he wanted to do, even if it was to think of a way to prevent it.
"Could you four, you four being Chiron, Nico, Malcolm and Thalia, please enter the infirmary please." Said Will, peeping inside. We all nodded, stood up and left the room, heading to the infirmary.
Will led us inside towards Annabeth's bed. I noticed how sickly she looked. The pale skin and black bags under her eyes does not suit her athletic, witty personality. I also noticed Percy was already here, sitting on a chair next to Annabeth, holding her hand. I hate seeing her like this, it's just weird that the most healthy out of Nico, Percy and I got deathly ill was scary, even to me.
"So could I your full attention please? We all know that Annabeth, our dear friend, is going to die, but there is a way to prevent it," Will announce. We all looked at each other with curious faces. "We, somehow, have got to suck out the poison from the cut below her stomach. We made a cut there for this reason only, so it would be easier to suck out. Anyone got any ideas at all?
Percy's POV;
At those words I got an idea. This is my only chance to save Annabeth, as long as she is alive, everything will be ok. I walked towards Annabeth, I could feel everyone's eyes burning into my back, but I didn't care. I knelt over Annabeth, and pressed my lips over the cut, sucking the poison out. I could still feel everyone's eyes burning into my back. I don't care what they think.
"Annabeth – I wanted to – Spend – The – Rest – Of my – Life – With – You – But – It – Looks – Like – That dream – Is not – Going – To happen – I am – Even – Heartbroken – A little – That – The most important – Dream – Of mine – Is never – Going to – Happen – For me – But – Before – That – Dream – Dissapears – I want to – Tell you – Annabeth – That I – I – I love you – Even in your – Death – Or mine Annabeth – I would – And will – Die for – You" I pronounced between sucks. I spent twenty minutes sucking at that single spot, hearing Annabeth shouting at me to stop while crying. But I wouldn't, I mean what I say, and I'm going to die for her.
Will pulled me back. "You sucked out the all the poison ten minutes ago, we were all trying to pull you away but you just wouldn't budge. You were grasping onto Annabeth, not letting go at all." I looked at him. I felt dizzy and collapsed.
I woke up to see myself inside of Annabeth's bed, and she wasn't in it with me. Yes! I saved her. I knew since I sucked out all the poison that she had in her body that I was edging nearer to my death, but I didn't care at all, I wouldn't even care if Annabeth said she didn't like me back. As long as I know I told her how I felt. Everything would be good, even in death.
"Percy, when you sucked out the poison, you of course took in the poison into your own body. If you stopped when we were pulling you away, we could've had enough time to heal you. But sadly, you didn't want to stop. So I'm afraid you are going to die, Percy." Will let out a tear. "You have one more hour to live, live it wisely." He stood up and left the room, not looking back once. I looked over at Annabeth, Thalia and Nico. They were all holding back tears, and you could tell Annabeth was trying the hardest to.
"Chiron had to leave," Nico chocked. "He had some work to do, plus, he couldn't take it to stand here and watch you die." He let out bluntly.
"It's ok." I grinned. The three of us talked for fifty minutes, about how life has been for them, what they were wishing would one day happen, and how everything would change once I'm dead. Forty-five minutes into it Grover came bursting in, sweating and panting from the running he had just done. He had a shocked look on his face, he was also crying too. I did not, I didn't want to cry in the face of death. Grover was explaining how he thought that this was all a joke and how he had to come see for himself. This made him cry even harder. I was going to miss a lot, like getting a job, marriage, kids. But I guess I skipped all that went straight to death. I smirked at that; I was tearing up inside, but of course I wouldn't show it. I just hope Annabeth will remember those words I spoke to her earlier, and think about me every day. After fifty five minutes, Chiron walked in, holding a crumbled scroll.
"Percy, I hope you have a good time in the Underworld. May Hades have mercy on you." He choked. Annabeth knelt down next to me, holding my hand.
Annabeth's POV
"Percy, when you told me those things, about you loving me. I felt like flying and dying right here on this very bed. But don't you just find it funny how it suddenly switched from me to you." I half-smiled. "But now I feel like the gods are playing a horrible joke on me. The man I love, which is you, starts to die after those words. I just hope one day that I could find another man I like as much as you. Percy, I love you." He closed the gap between our lips and I held his hands. I felt like crying, and I'm sure I did let out a tear.
"Take the bite,
Go out of sight,
Let your soul take flight,
Look forward for everything,
And nothing." Chiron recited, while Percy died, with our lips, hands and heart together.
A/n: And done. The surprise is (Drum roll) There will be a sequel! Well, there will only be a sequel if the majority of the reviewers say yes for it in the poll on my profile, if the majority say yes to a sequel, I will write it, and it will most likely be called 'The Beginning' . So remember to put me on alert =3. Thank you for reading through-out the story. RRF and answer the poll. Love you all. Good night.
