Hullo! This one is a tad longer, and I mentioned The Fellowship of the Ring in the last installment, I haven't touched it since… I've had good reasons though… I swear…

I don't own them, puh-lease. Would I be writing fanfiction if I did?
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I cannot see anything an arm's length away, let alone fight. My vision is blurred and I can feel a stinging feeling in my left arm. That's when I see the arrow come flying at me. I duck, terrified. I try to run away, but only find a hail of arrows following me as I run. I bump into many things as I run, and am grabbed by a pair of hands. Suddenly I feel an arrow lodge itself in my right shoulder, and then everything goes black.
Percy's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Annabeth, strong, powerful Annabeth, lying in a hospital bed, completely comatose. Connor Stoll was sitting next to me, trying his best to comfort me and make me laugh, but I couldn't be helped. I was a hopeless case. Travis and Connor were supposed to look after her, make sure she didn't get hurt. But there she was. So when I went back to my cabin that night, I didn't get a blink of sleep. How could I sleep when my girlfriend, my best friend, was lying in a hospital bed, not aware of anything around her?
When I went back to the hospital a few days later, I assumed the usual position, sitting by her bedside, holding her hand and telling her about the past day. That day, I told her about the new demigod in the Hermes cabin, how The Stoll Brothers had pulled the greatest prank involving fireworks, a swan and Mr. D's Hawaiian shirt, and how I finally got a bull's eye in archery class. I went for lunch around one, and didn't return until about 2:15. So when I got back, I was amazed to see a pair of grey eyes staring at me.
"Annabeth… You're…" I ran to her bed and pulled her into a hug, tears falling from my eyes.
I couldn't believe she was able to see me, to listen to me, to talk to me. I ran my hands through her blond curls, and we talked for a few hours, before Chiron came to take me back to camp. I came back the next day, and Annabeth came back to her cozy cabin within a few days, where her half brothers and sisters were waiting anxiously, as they hadn't seen her since before she left for her quest. The hospital kept it strict, and I guess having a bunch of teenagers in a tiny hospital room isn't the best idea. Seeing her as she ran towards them, I could tell she was glad to be here, to have finally found a family who loves her and cherished her life as much as I did.
Well. I had no idea how to end this, so there you have it!
