A/N: Sorry for not updating, but I've been busy with finals, Christmas, and other stuff that's been so time consuming. I'll try to update faster, but really, no promises. There have been a few complaints on the short chapters, but they have to be short to keep the suspense and to work with the different POVs! Thanks for all the reviews!
Told from Annabeth's POV
It's the day of Will's funeral and you're on your way to Camp for the first time in months. Claire had decided to go help with the funeral and she left an hour before you did. You had the most trouble finding what to wear. Usually, you would not mind, but you were at a funeral. A part of you knew that it had to do with seeing Percy. No matter how many times you try to deny it in the past three hours, but you know it's true. You wanted to look good for him even after what had all occurred.
Minutes later, you arrive at the base of the hill wearing a black dress that you found in the back of your closet. You remember Silena forcing you to the mall and she saw the dress and immediately, she knew you had to have it. You let her convince you into buying it. You sigh and start you track up the hill. Up ahead, you see Silena trying to walk up the hill, but she's struggling to get her heels out of the soft grass. You were smart and decided to wear flat instead of heels knowing that the heels would stick into the ground as you stood.
When you arrive at the top of the hill, you head to the amphitheatre and see a wave of black. Normally if you were at camp, you would be wearing jeans and a Camp T-shirt that were stored in your cabin. Everyone usually went home, so they all decided to wear black instead of the usual jeans and T-shirt. You take a few steps into the amphitheatre, but you were too busy looking around you to notice the person in front of you and you run right into the person in front of you.
"Oh, sorry," you apologize and the person turns around.
"No, it's …Annabeth?" and the voice belongs to Percy Jackson. You want to be anywhere but here. You want to escape, but there's no way.
"Hey Percy," you give him a once over and he's wearing a suit with a crisp white shirt and green tie that matches his eyes and to say the least, he looks attractive, very attractive. You scold yourself for thinking about him like that. You look at his face and there were dark circles around his eyes like the ones under yours, but is skillfully covered with make-up, thanks to Claire. You can sense his eyes on you.
"So, um, how's it been?" he tries to make small talk, but you both obviously know that it is awkward.
"Okay, how about you?" you ask.
"Fine. How's that boyfriend of yours?" he asks with an undertone of bitterness, you hear. You didn't expect him to ask about that. You have your chance to tell him the truth.
"He…" but you're cut off when Chiron announces that the funeral has started.
"See you later, Annabeth," and he disappears into the massive crowd of people. Damn it! You were so close, but it all screwed up! You sit down in the nearest seat and the funeral begins.
Okay, how was the chapter? Don't forget to review!
