It was Annabeth's scream, percy knew. He had been too slow, too late to save her. "NO!" he shouted. He raced toward the control center, he knew the scream came from there. Sure enough, when Percy arrived there, he saw Annabeth on the floor. She had a deep gash on her stomach and forehead and was bleeding badly. Jason stood over her, his gold sword hanging over Annabeth. He was poised to strike the killing blow.
Not noticing Percy, he raised and sword higher and said, "You were foolish to challenge me, greek. You will pay for that with your life." Then he brought the sword down.
"NOOOO!" screamed percy. He ran at Jason with blinding speed and tackled him. Fortunately, the gold sword felt out of reach. Percy started to punch Jason, who was lying pathetically on the ground. Percy had never felt so so mad, so vengeful in his life. He put power in his punches. There was nothing Jason could do. Finally after the beating, Percy stood up, grabbed Jason's sword and decapitated the child of Rome.
Percy ran over to his dying lover. He saw that no amount of nectar or ambrosia could heal her.
"Percy...you were right..." whispered Annabeth. "I shouldn't have challenged him"
Percy shook his head. Teardrops fell to the floor as he held Annabeth's hand. "You will go to Elysium Annabeth, that I promise."
"Percy...promise me you won't kill... yourself to join me. Promise... me."
"I...I promise."
"We'll be together someday... Percy. I love...you". Using her remaining strength she reached up and kissed Percy. Then she sighed softy and closed her eyes. She might have fallen asleep.
