Annabeth's POV
Sometimes things happen too fast. I was enjoying the view of victory when I hear this scream. I look behind me and I see Percy… struck on his back by a Laestrygonian giant. I watched as Percy's limp body hit the ground.
"Percy!" I screamed with tears in my eyes. I glanced at the monster with pure hatred.
"You ugly son of a bitch!" I cried as I raised my knife and stabbed him… and stabbed him… and stabbed him. When he exploded into golden dust, I still wanted to stab him. I went over to Percy's side and wept.
"Percy… don't leave me..."
"Annabeth…"
"Don't go, Percy! Please! I need you! I can't live without you!"
"Annabeth… I love… you…"
"Don't say that to me! If you really love me, then you wouldn't be doing this to me!" I cried.
"I… did this… for you."
"Percy… you promised! Why didn't you keep it? Why? You promised me that we would be together again! Why?" I wailed. I couldn't stop crying.
"Annabeth… I'm… trying to… hold… on… but… I'm… moving…on."
"No Percy! Don't move on! Stay! Please!" I sobbed. There was a large crowd around us, but I didn't care. I was crying so much that I didn't notice Percy slowly sitting up. Then he wrapped his arms around me. they were cold.
"Annabeth… please… stop… crying. It… breaks my… heart… to see you… so sad."
"Percy… you're breaking my heart right now."
Then, he kissed me. Using his last breaths, he wanted me to be happy. I kissed back. I kissed him with the same energy that he was kissing me with. The energy was love. We both didn't want to leave each other, but Percy was leaving me. He was weakening second after second. His was pulse slowing down.
"Percy… please. Please keep your promise. I'm begging you." I whispered.
"Annabeth… I…" then his eyes closed and his body went limp. I started crying again, holding on to his cold, lifeless body. Chiron trotted over and saw the body in my arms.
"Annabeth, we have to get Percy into the infirmary. There still might be hope for him."
"Hope?" I said in a childlike voice.
"Yes, hope. Let's go." He said gently. He tried to reach for Percy, but I turned away and held Percy tighter.
"Don't take him away from me." I said sadly.
Chiron's POV
She must be in shock. Hopefully, she won't get Post-traumatic Stress Disorder or Social Anxiety Disorder from this. (Search it up on Google for those of you who don't know what PTSD and SAD is.)
"Annabeth, we don't have much time!" I yelled at her. But when I looked into her sad, confused eyes, I calmed down. "Let's go to the infirmary together." I held her hand as we walked to the infirmary. We lay Percy on a cot and I got the defibulator out. Annabeth's eyes widened at the sight off it.
"No… don't hurt… him. Pain… is bad." She said sadly.
She screamed and flailed as two campers pulled her out of the room. this hurts me more than it hurts you I thought as I used the defibulator on him. After about five tries, the heart monitor finally beeped. Percy was going to be okay. I stepped out of the room and immediately heard Annabeth screaming.
"Let me see him!"
"Annabeth, it's okay. you can see him now."
She looked at me with watery eyes and ran into the room.
"Percy's going to be fine. He's in a coma right now, but he'll be fine."
I looked at Annabeth. She sat down beside Percy and gently touched his cheek.
"He's… cold."
"He's going to be alright."
"Chiron… how did Percy survive?"
"Well, I'm assuming that he was hit right above his Achilles' heel. It wasn't enough to kill him, but it did a lot of damage."
When I looked at her again, she was crying beside Percy and holding his hand. Tears streamed down her face and landed on Percy's cheek. I looked away. I hoped that Percy would wake up soon. For his friends. His family. His loved ones. For all of us.
