XIV- Promise

As Jake said those three words, I know I have to think quickly, one second lost is a second Jake has control over his body.

I suddenly felt riptide in my back pocket and not a moment too soon. In a sudden impulse I threw riptide into the air uncapping it making it a miniature javelin.

It hit Jake's left arm, surprisingly, it hit the same spot where Luke had stabbed himself with Annabeth's dagger, at his Achilles heel.

Jake then mouthed some words that I was trying to decipher. Then a flash of golden light was emitting from every part of Jake's body. I know that if you look at the light directly it could turn you to dust like when gods are changing to their true form.

"Don't look!" I yelled to Annabeth. I wrapped my arms turning her and myself away from the light. I closed my eyes and saw a flash of light through my eyelids and then everything went black.

I dared to open my eyes, I saw nothing. No monsters no bodies, it was like nothing had happen here. I looked in my arms and there was Annabeth still closing her eyes.

"It's okay to look now." I said to her looking down at her moonlit face. She opened her eyes which are the most beauty

We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, I could have stared at her for the rest of my life if I can.

"It's all over" I whispered to her ear feeling her blonde curls grazing my face.

"Yes, it is" She whispered magnificently. Her voice felt like music to my ears.

"Let's go home" I said to her trying to pull her up

"Yeah, let-" A scream of pain pierced through my ears.

"What's wrong!?" I asked her worriedly.

"It-it-it's my leg" She answered trying to hold back tears of pain.

I checked her leg ripping a part of her jeans in the process. Her lower leg was badly sprained. It had bruises anywhere. I can't dare to see it anymore.

I got my bag and put out some Nectar and Ambrosia. As I fed her, her leg was getting better but not better enough that she can walk.

I stood up and realized that we can't stay the night here. There's nothing here to help us survive. I grabbed Annabeth carrying her bridal style trying not to touch her bad leg.

"What are you doing Per-" She said but I cut her off

"Shhhhh, you're tired. Rest now Wise Girl" I said to her walking back. She didn't argue. After a few minutes Annabeth was fast asleep in my arms.

As I was walking, I kept thinking about Jake. He sacrificed his life for us and for the world, I guess he's just like Luke. I guess since that's because he used to be his brother. Even so, they weren't related by blood but who cares. They both saved the world.

I was wrong about Jake. He was kind, strong and he was willing to sacrifice his life for us without doubt. As I thought that, I realized those words he said before his death, the last words of Jake Castellan was "Thank you, Percy Jackson"
