ANNABETH POV
I woke up with a throbbing headache, and reached over for Percy, but I felt air. I immediately shot up in the bed, and looked around. I wasn't in bed with Percy, I was in the hospital. Where was Percy?! Then, it all came back to me in a blur, hurting my head, but my heart worse.
"No..." I whispered. "Percy!"
People looked at me, and seeing that I was awake, ran over to me. I saw a few worried faces, and others sentimental and full of pity.
"Annabeth, are you okay?" Thalia asked in a whisper. I looked at her. Her eyes were red, hair everywhere, and face pale, gaunt, and skinny. She looked broken, like someone sucked the air and heart straight out of her.
"No. Percy, di-did they find him?"
"No, not yet. But it's not official!" Thalia added quickly, then tears formed in her eyes. "Excuse me." She whispered, and ran away. We all stared after her. She was so strong, and now fragile. That's exactly how I felt, yet I was too shocked to cry. I simply stood up, and walked to his cabin.
Will tried to stop me. "You may not be ready, yet. Annabeth, you have to come back to the hospital."
"I don't have to do anything. I only listen to Percy from now on."
He looked shocked. "But Percy's not here."
I stared straight at him. "Not yet. But his disappearance is not official, right? He will be here soon." I said, though I felt I was convincing myself. I looked at Will, the shock and worry in his eyes, but they weren't Percy's eyes. Percy.
Then, I burst into tears, unable to stop them.
PERCY POV
Where am I? I went to move, but even thinking about moving hurt really bad. I opened my eyes, though, with not much pain, and saw I was in a cave. What? I looked around with my eyes. I was lying on the sand, looks like I was at the bottom of the ocean. Somehow all my body parts, down to my fingers and toes, were in tact. Oh... I wouldn't be hurt bodily. I remember I used to much energy; so I would be physically destroyed. Even better! Yay! It would probably take forever to heal so I could move, but I can't just get up and tell the camp I'll be gone. My eyelids started to get heavier. Even doing this, thinking, is draining. I sighed, closed my eyes, and surrendered to sleep.
ANNABETH POV
It's been a week. A week. I tried to be happy, I really tried to be, but I just couldn't. Everytime I wanted to, I heard Percy's laugh, saw the twinkle in his eyes, saw him. Saw him happy, safe. Then I cried all over again.
The war has been over for about a few days now, after Percy destroyed Oceanus, his armies crumbled a week after. Since then, Percy has been the main focus. Poseidon and everyone else who can breathe underwater has been looking for him non-stop, but it's been a few days now, and some are getting aggravated. Only thoughs who didn't know Percy. The rest have been searching near and far, but with no prevail. Everyone was very antsy and worried. The camp was literally pulling out each others hair. We all hated it, because we couldn't breathe underwater, so we couldn't do anything about it.
Thalia broke me out of my thoughts. "Hey. You okay?"
I looked not at her, but straight ahead. "No. You?"
"No. I feel so, so useless. I hate it. I am going to kill Kelp Head if- no. WHEN he comes home." Even though she was looking at me, she seemed to be trying to convince herself. I sighed.
"He will. He has to. We-we were going to be the first demi-gods to get married, have a life. Now, now I may be another demi-god with a broken heart and dead boyfriend!" I was crying hard now. "Why did Percy have to be the hero again? Why-why did he have to save us? I need him..." I stopped talking because I was crying to hard. Thalia started rubbing my back and saying soothing words, but it didn't work. I needed Percy.
Then, all of the sudden, a naiad ran into the camp yelling, making me and Thalia jump up. What if...
Did you like the chapter? Huh? Is Percy found? Why is there a naiad in camp? PLEASE REVIEW! :)
