Chapter 2: Without Percy?

(Annabeth POV)

I was sitting by Percy next to his bed keeping a cold rag on his forhead. I looked down at him and my frown deepend. He still looked as pale as the time he threw-up the first time and hasn't gotten any better. At least he was in a peaceful sleep.

I sighed, "Percy, how come you have to be sick today?" I said outloud to my self.

He sturred a little bit, but nothing more.

"Well, I guess I got to go get an Apollo camper now to see whats wrong with you." Again nothing.

I sighed again as I was getting up from sitting down from my chair. I walked over to the door and opened it. I looked back at my sleeping boyfriend one last time before walking out the door.

_Line Brake:)_

"Will!" I shouted, trying to get his attenion.

Oh you might be wondering who I'm calling, Well his name is Will Solace; Son of Apollo and one of my very good friends who healed me when I got stabed saving Percy two years ago when we were at war with Kronos.

"Hey, Will!" I tried again. He wasn't at breakfast this morning, I think he was in the Infermery fixing up a Hermes Camper who's prank backfired on him. Anyways so I don't think he heard about Percy yet because its only been like 20 minutes scence he got sick.

Ugh, now i was getting annoyed. Ran up to him and screamed his name in his ear.

"Agh! Annabeth! what was that for?!"

"You wouldn't answer me." I said simply

"Gosh, I think you act like a 9 year old sometimes."

"Thank you!" I said it like I was just givin a compement. "Anyways, I need you like right now"

"Why?" Like I said he didn't get the memo

"Well, this morning Percy came into breakfast looking sick, and to conferm my suspitions he threw-up. So now he's in his cabin sleeping and I need you to see what wrong with him." I said

"Oh, I didn't know that. How come knowone told me?" He asked almost hurt

"It only happened about 20 minutes ago" Imeadatly he calmed down.

"Oh aright, lets go then."

_Line Break Again;)_

When we got back to the Poseidons Cabin everything was exacly how I left it, and still Percy hasn't moved and inch.

"Wow, Its dark." Will said breaking the silence.

"I didn't want to wake Percy up. So can we just hurry and do the 'Check-Up' now?"

"Sure, lets just wake him up then. Do you want me or you to do it."

"Wait, we have to wake him up?" I asked

"You didn't expect me to just look at him, did you?"

"Well...No...I'll wake him up then." I said disappointed

I walked up to my boyfriends bedside. "Percy? Can you wake up please?"

I waited patiantly for a minute.

"Perce?" Again I waited

"PER-"

Right then he shot up awake breathing heavily. Thats when I started getting really concerned about him.

"Hey Perce, you ok?" I asked while Will was still waiting by the door, unsure of what to do.

Percy turned to me just reconizing I was there. Then almost instently he started crying.

"Oh, Percy!" I said, as I rushed over to his side. Once I sat down, I grabed him soon after he grabbed onto my waist, with his head bawling into my stomach making it wet, and holding onto me like I was his lifeline.

"Oh Percy, what's wrong?" I cooed.

"I-i had a d-dream... T-that you...and t-the manticore, and he k-killed you!" Once he said that he started bawling into my shirt harder.

It was so sad seeing him like this, he looked like a little kid that just lost his favorite toy. It was heartbreaking.

"Percy..." I said in disbeleif. And still he just was crying, so sad and broken.

I just let him cry. He's been holding it in for years I was almost sure about that. After about 5 minutes I had enough of him acting this sad. If he kept it up I defenatly would start bawling too.

"Percy." I tried. When he didn't answer I tried again. "Percy, hey look at me okay?" I said guiding his head up to look at me. That was the most saddest look I've ever seen. His green eye that I love were dull, with tears in them. Also, his bottom was trembling like a puppy would when he'd known he's done something wrong.

"I'm alright ok? Look at me, I'm right here with you, okay? I'm safe see?" He just stared at me with the same look.

I started again "You're that one who's not okay, your very sick okay? And Will's in here right now going to see what's wrong alright?" I said, In a voice that made me sound like I was talking to a little kid, In somecases I was.

All he did was nod, very slowly.

"Alright, now can you sit up for me?" I said so motherly I even surprised myself, but Percy didn't notice and did as he was told. He still was leaning into me for giving him comfort, but I didn't mind one bit.

"Okay Perce, lets see what's that matter with you alright?" Will said, sounding releaved that he wasn't standing by the door awkardly. But Percy still just all do was nod. I think he was still hesntant about his dream.

"Alright, can you stick this in your mouth for me?" He held up a thermometer and asked in a voice as if he was talking to a little kid, like I did.

After about a minute of waiting the thermometer beeped signaling his tempiture. Will took it out of his mouth and frowned when he saw the tempiture, but as fast as he did it returned into a reasuring smile. After other "test" he called me outside to speak alone.

"Um...So Annabeth, let me just tell you the results on our test. His tempiture is 104.7 degrees, and he pretty much has the flu sysmtoms."

I let a sigh of releaf.

"Wait Annabeth, I didn't tell you what he has."

I again waited almost scared of what he was going to tell me.

"He has Swine Flu. I know its not that big of a deal, I mean like its almost never fatal, but the one's who have died from it were half-bloods...They almost always die"

I caught my breath. 'What?! Percy can't die! What will I do without him?!' I thought to myself.

"Woah, Annabeth! Calm down, i said they almost always die, but the strong ones live. And lets face it Percy is the strongest of them all."'

"Your right" I said calming down. "He will, so what will I have to do?"

"Just keep him in bed, keep his fever down, and makes sure he drinks lots of water even though he is a son of Posidain. Oh and I will go get some medicane, when I come back give it to him. After that just give it to him twice in a day, breakfast and dinner. Alright?"

I nodded, and soon he left.

I walked into Percy's cabin again and just as I thought he is fast asleep. I sat down on my chair again and started stroking his hair. Soon I was deep in thought.

"ANNABETH!" Grover came running in out of breath, "Camps. Under. Attack!" He said in between breaths.

I admeaitly shot up out of my chair and ran out the door. Little did I know that Percy was awake...
