Chapter 3: Doing the Job
(Percy POV)
I woke up sore and tired. I tried to focus on my soroudings. 'Why was I in bed?' I thought. Oh yeah, I'm sick and feel like crap. I also have a huge headache, 'Why do
I have a headache?' I again thought. It must be from my sickness...What do I have? And where did everyone go? Did something happen to her?
Bye this time I was hypervetalating and my headache was getting worse from all the questions that are going through my head. Right when I was about to freak out,
I felt a cold hand on my forehead. I felt nice against my warm head. Then it started combing through my hair, instantly calming my headache, and last but not least
the person started humming. It was a sweat soothing voice. Wait, I-I know that voice! That voice belonged to my only true love, my girlfriend, Annabeth!
We sat/lay like that for a long time and I was almost asleep again. It was nice knowing my girlfriend was alive and okay, I was very happy at that moment.
"Annabeth!" I heard someone say, maybe Grover? I couldn't tell it souded like they were out of breath. "Camp. Under. Attack!" They said in between breaths yelling,
my headache just came back...
Almost instantly after the person said that, I felt the hand leave my head and heard a door slam shut. 'Great I'm alone again..'
Wait a minute! Camp under attack?! This is just about my dream!
Flashback: Percy's dream
I was in my room unable to do anything except lay down and feel a hand comb through my sweaty hair.
"Annabeth!" Someone said, "Camp. Under. Attack!"
The hand was gone and I was stuck in my bed, not being able to do my job and be a hero.
Soon my "ghost" was right by Annabeth watching her as she was killing all the monsters in her path. They were all the monsters I had ever killed. 'Wait', I thought to
myself 'Where's the Minotaur?' I questioned to my self. Right when I did though I felt a horn go through my stomach. It didn't hurt it just felt like something going
through a ghost, so uncomfortable.
The thing that hurt me the most though was what it was aiming for. And of course with my luck it hit her straight on.
'ANNABETH!' I screamed. Blood was everywhere and I knew she was gone, forever...
End of Flashback:
It hurt me to see her...die, and me just watching not doing anything about it. I never what to have that feeling again. Thats why right when I woke up I just cried, it
was so real and I couldn't bare to see Annabeth not there with me. I felt so childish crying into her shirt, I'm glad though she was alive so I didn't care, I didn't even
notice Will from the Apollo Cabin, standing there probably to check up on me to see what was wrong with me.
When I opened my eyes right after Annabeth left with Grover and my eyes burned,' ugh why did they have to leave the lights on?' I Thought. When my eye's finally
focused I looked at my room. There was a chair right by my bed; probably Annabeth's, a washcloth on my side table and a bottle which I assumed was medicine,
Gross! Okay, back to business. I sat up in my bed and put my legs over and stood up. A wave of nausea came over me, good thing there was a trash can right by my
bed too.
After my sickness, I again stood up slower this time. Okay so far, so good! I was about to the door when I realized I was just wearing my boxers. "Oh I hope
Annabeth didn't see that." I said to myself. So, I made my self to my dresser. I was faster this time once my muscles weren't as stiff. I got on a blue sweatshirt and
black sweatpants. Made sure I had Riptide in my pocket and put the hood, on my sweatshirt, on my head so know one would send me back to my cabin if they see
me out of bed, especially Chiron, Annabeth, and Will.
Mentle note to myself: Avoid them.
When I got outside I aready saw that the battle had started. "Okay, now or never" I said to myself.
Soon I was in the battle front line. Killing almost every monster that came in my path. I could see Annabeth to my right. I had to get over to her before the Minotaur
got to her. So I began to make it over there. My sword fighting was a little slow, because my muscles were still a little stiff, and I was getting tired really fast. By this
time I was about as good as the campers.
I saw him. Just like my dream the Minotaur was sneaking up behind Annabeth almost ready to strike. I amedatly made a the best war cry I could do with my sore
throat, right when he was about to strike her, I blocked his path with my sword. And just like that we started fighting. Hack, slash, roll, and more things I was doing i
couldn't name them all.
We have been doing it for awile now, and now I was defenatly tiring. The Minotaur knew this and was just waiting for the right time to strike, I also knew that but if I
backed down I would get hurt or even worse he would go again after Annabeth.
"Agh!" I screamed. He got a lucky shot and took it.
I stept back because of shock and wanting to know how bad it was. There right across my stomach was a deep gash, already staining my sweatshirt. I suddenly got a
wave of madness and stabbed him in his stomach right where he did it to me "How does that feel?!" I asked argurally liking the revenge I had just done.
He looked down at his own stomach and turned into dust. Ha that'll teach him!
"Percy?"
I looked up and saw Annabeth. 'Aw, Crap' I thought, before I passed out.
