Reunion Part 1
I paced the deck of the Argo II. I slumped against the main mast and put my head in my hands. What if he doesn't remember me? What if all our adventures are gone? What if he has a new girlfriend? I felt hot tears make trails down my face. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I pick my head up, and see the face of Piper. Piper had become a very good friend of mine over these couple of months. She helped me through this. She sat down next to me.
"Drachma for your thoughts."
"Same thing as always. Always beating myself up inside."
"I'll stand by you through this thing. I'll go out with you, and if remembers, I'll hang back. But if he doesn't, I'll kick his ass with you." I smiled up at her.
"Thanks Pipes."
"Hey guys…" Leo came toward us, and faltered. "Did I interrupt something?"
"No. Just some self-esteem talk. What's up?"
"Well, I figured that you'd want to know we've arrived. I just need to land." I felt like I just drank 10 cups of coffee. I started bouncing my foot, and tapping my hand on my leg. I didn't realize I was doing Morse Code until Leo responded.
'You okay?'
'Yeah, just super nervous and excited. I didn't know you could do Morse Code.'
'Yeah, my mom taught me before…' I'd heard about his mom.
'I know it doesn't help saying sorry. It actually makes it worse.'
'Totally.' I smiled at him, and I looked at Piper. She was looking between us like a tennis match.
"What are you doing?" I looked at Leo and smiled a little.
"Stuff. Leo, time to land." I ran over to the rail, and I looked over the edge. We ship started lowering. About half way we hit trouble. The ship started shaking. Then it lurched to the side. I was thrown over the side of the boat. I clutched to the side of the boat.
"Annabeth!" Piper yelled. She was trying to push some of the debris off herself.
I heard someone's voice below me. I almost let go from surprise. It was Percy.
"Hold fire!" I heard many cries out, and I felt something hit my leg. It was an arrow. Someone shot me with an arrow. I dropped, and I plummeted. I was losing blood, and I felt dizzy. I heard screams. That might have been me. I saw the ground, and I closed my eyes.
Sorry Percy. I waited for impact. I landed, but it didn't feel like ground. I opened my eyes, and saw I was in someone's arms. I looked up at the face, but then blacked out. But I swear I saw Percy's face.
