Like I said, This chapter will be from Percy's point of view! I'm not sure how to write the Tartarus scenes so I'm just going to speed them up. Enjoy!
Percy.
After the Iris message with the camp Percy never felt weaker, he hated showing people weakness. Crying out in front of the camp! Nothing says loser then that!
Percy and Annabeth had just outran the 50th monster in the past 2 days. 2 days ago they able to get in touch with camp half-blood and the rest of the seven. Percy's chest, stomach, back, and arm pounded with pain with every movement. It was getting harder because Annabeth's ankle wasn't much better and she needed support to walk, which meant hanging on Percy. He never complained or said anything because he knew she would then walk on her own and they'd slow down even more.
The two of them have been on the move since the chat with the rest of the seven. Percy had never been in this much pain. Fighting with one arm was nowhere near easy. Percy hoped that the seven would be on their way to them now.
"Percy? Do you think we could take a break?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah, sounds good." he said
Annabeth sat down and Percy stayed standing. Only out of fear that he wouldn't be able to get up again.
"Why aren't you sitting down? I thought you said you're tired?" Annabeth asked.
"If I sit I won't be able to get up again." he said with a smile.
Annabeth laughed at him.
He was about to make a joke when he felt a jolt or pure agonizing pain hit his already hurting back. He felt claws gouge the skin on his back. He cried out and Annabeth rushed to her feet to catch him.
Annabeth pulled out Percy's sword and stuck the gorgon in the heart. The gorgon ran off down the cave. Percy fell to the ground and was bleeding heavily. He could feel all of his strength and blood pouring out of him. The wound on his back felt as if it was on fire. He was lying face first on the ground while Annabeth ripped off his shirt to stop the blood. He cried out as she pushed down.
"Oh gods Percy! Here eat this." She shoved a square of ambrosia in his mouth and the bleeding subsided.
Annabeth leaned back breathing heavily. Percy sat up and felt dizzy.
"We need to keep moving. If we get to the doors this will all be over sooner." Percy said.
"Percy, you just got scratched by a gorgon. You're still bleeding. You should rest, we haven't in the past 2 days." Annabeth said.
"No, if we stop now then we won't get anywhere." Percy said.
"Okay, we'll keep going." She said as she got up.
Percy grabbed her and supported her as much as this made his back hurt more.
They walked for what seemed like hours when the saw two large red doors sitting in the middle of a rock cave. Annabeth let go of Percy.
"Oh my gods. Percy were here. We found them! Were saved."
Percy felt light-headed, he took a step forward and collapsed.
Ha! Cliff hanger! I hope you aren't too bored of the story. I didn't know what else to put in Tarturus so I'll bust end it, now I'm going on about nothing!
Reviews to me are like blue coke to Percy!
