BOOM!
I was thrown backwards by a gigantic blast of green, but it was not from Greek fire. I lay dazed for a few seconds and got up, brushed the grass off my arms, and ran back into the active battle. I saw Katie Gardiner dragging one of her brown-haired sisters who was unconscious to safety. Once an Apollo kid took the girl Katie nodded toward him and ran back into the battle. I looked over the hill and saw that maybe this battle was not as bad as the last one.
Conner and Travis were confusing a HUGE hellhound by running around it saying "Hey I'm here!" "Oh but now I'm here too!" "Can't you keep track of me ya big bonehead?"
Clarisse and about half of her cabin were dodging around a slightly smaller drakon while she attempted to stab it in the eye with her electric spear but it kept doing this weird move where it flipped itself over right before she got it. I
Tons of other campers were running around fighting, some in formations while others were in complete disarray.
I wiped the sweat off my forehead and pulled my blonde hair out of my ponytail which tumbled down my sweat sticky back. I was about to charge back into battle when I heard a loud cry behind me. I knew what to do forced myself to wait and with baited breath turned around and stabbed straight forward with my knife right before the giant beast of a man slammed his hammer down on my head. He gasped, blinked his hundred eyes on his face and then disintegrated into golden dust.
I ran onward without another look and was about to stab a dracaena when a loud horn sounded. Suddenly all of the enemy started to retreat. As they ran away archers shot celestial bronze tipped arrows into the ranks and would cheer when a monster disintegrated. All the monsters ran to the top of the hill and disappeared back to wherever they came from. I sighed and wiped my forehead with the back of my hand again and began the long walk back to the Burrow.
I opened the door which creaked and saw Mrs. Weasly helping the wounded along with the Apollo campers.
"Hello Mrs. Weasly." I said to her. She was crouched by a kid who looked like his face got stung by a giant bee.
"Annabeth, dear." She stood up, wiped her hands on her multi-colored apron, and hugged me. It felt like a mother hug. The kind your mother gave you when you were little and you had just skinned your knee on the asphalt or somebody at the playground had stolen your toy. I hadn't gotten much of these hugs when I was little.
"How's…" she smiled sadly and rubbed my shoulder.
"He's the same as last night, you should go visit him, give him company. I think he gets better when you visit." Mrs. Weasly said softly. I nodded and started to navigate my way out of the living room which had become some kind of war infirmary and went to the small area by the stairs where he was.
I sat down in the wooden chair by his side, which creaked slightly and studied him. His skin was no longer its beautiful tan and was a sickly pale color. The once shiny black hair on his head was now limp and dull, and his beautiful sea green eyes were no longer seen behind his closed eyelids. Those eyelids had been hiding his eyes for the past month.
"Hey Percy… I would ask how it's been but…" I sighed and put my head in my hands. When the war first started, I had tons to talk about and hardly any time. Now I had almost nothing to talk about and all the time in the world.
"We really miss you, all of us. " Nothing. Once again. Instead of talking I opted to watch the slow and faint rise and fall of his chest. It was the only thing that told me he was even alive and even then the way life is right now it's like he's dead. But ADHD forced itself to be known and I shifted my position and leaned in close to Percy.
"You know Grover was here yesterday, he tried all of his woodland mojo to wake you up. Apparently whatever Heken did to you is some serious stuff." Now I was just depressed and depressing. I know Percy was in there somewhere but who would want to listen to this? I sighed heavily and leaned back up in my chair.
"Well, bye Percy, I… I'll see you later." I got up and turned away but I felt something brush my fingers. I turned around and saw Percy's fingers trying to grab my hand. His finger were weakly searching the air and bed for them.
I gasped and sat back down. I guess I was really excited because I sat down so fast the chair slid a bit and made a nails on chalkboard sound. Percy grimaced slightly at the sound but didn't open his eyes. I looked at him shocked but I squeezed his hand and smiled. Behind me I heard pounding and saw Mrs. Weasly, Thalia, Grover. Nico. They looked at me and I smiled some more.
"He grabbed my hand." I said in the happiest voice I have probably never used. smiled and all of my friends ran over. They looked at Percy and then me.
"Your helping him you know, his life force is stronger when you're here." Nico said seriously "I don't know how but it's like he can sense you're here or something." I chuckled (which I hadn't done in months) and brushed Percy hair out of his face.
I bent down and kissed his cheek which was warm with fever but I swore I could see him smile just the tiniest bit.
Things were getting better. He would wake up.
I'M SORRY! I'M SO SO SO SO SO SORRY! I know I should have updated sooner! All my stories haven't been updated in a while and I'm so sorry! The plot bunnies have been giving me ideas for NEW stories not the ones I already have. I know it sounds stupid but it's true.
Magic Cat: This chapter has taken her all day to finish. Since her family isn't going to any Christmas Eve parties this year she's been sitting here trying to type this. She tried to type chapters for her other stories but it was hard to get one word on the page.
Percy: At least she didn't start watching Supernatural again, that has been a major setback. I think she's obsessed.
Me: Psh!
