Ch. 4

Percy's P.O.V.

Annabeth. That's all I can think of. Annabeth. I turn to help her.

I run over to Annabeth, when a dagger flashes right in front of my face. I look up, and it's Darika. I do the first thing that pops into my mind. Water, my strongest.

There's only a little bit of water, unless there's some somewhere else...doesn't matter. I have to help Annabeth. I stand strong and bring the water towards me. I rush it onto Darika, and she falls immediately, struggling to get up. I kneel down by her, she's unconcious, and bleeding from her stomach, I have to help.

I did this before, I healed her wrist when we were in Medusa's layer on the way to prove that I was innocent of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. Sopme lady got a good grip on her, and turned to stone. But I had water near me, and right now it's all on Darika, who is still struggling.

My water bottle! I get it out, quick, and open it. I touch the water, and her stomach. At first, it doesn't work. But then, I see the blood stop. And it starts to go away. I need some type of bandage...someone's sock? Mine will have to do.

I take my sock off and stritch it until its long enough to fit around her waist. I lift her shirt up a littl-just a little, otherwise it would be awkward. And it's looks like a cut, but to make sure it doesn't start to bleed again, I wrap my sock around her cut. I'm about to lift her up, when I get pushed over. It's Bryce.

"Stop!" I say.

Surprisingly, they do.

"Attack me, and end up like Darika!" I shout, and point to her. She's lying on the ground, dead.

It's only Bethany and Bryce, sister and brother. They look at each other and back away, and leave. Wonderful. I look over at Peeta and Katniss, and they're both on the ground.

Geez, everyone is getting hurt.

"Danny, I need you to help me get Katniss and Peeta up and able to walk, I'm going to carry Annabeth." I say.

"Ok." He goes over to Katniss and reaches his hand out to her to help her up.

"I'm fine, it's just my hand," she says, "how's Peeta?"

"I'm fine...but, my arm-" he says, covering the cut on his arm with his other hand.

"Can you guys walk?" Danny asks.

"Yeah." They both say, and get up.

I pick up annabeth, and hold her like a baby. I really hope she's ok. We walk to a slight hill and decide to stop here, and call this our little hide-out thing. I gently put Annabeth down. I stay by her, in case she wakes up. Katniss's hand is better, she used my sock idea and put hers on her hand so she's good to go.

Peeta, he's alright to, but he can't use that arm that well.

Danny, Peeta, and Katniss head off to see if there's anything usefull they can find, while I stay with Annabeth.

Their gone for 5 minutes, then 10, now 20. I hope they're ok. All of a sudden, Annabeth's eyes flutter, and the open.

"Annabeth! You're awake!" I shout, and I hug her.

"Wha-what happened, where's Darika? I'm still fighti-"And she fell back down. I lift her back up.

"Darika's dead, she hit you in the stomach, and you were unconcious, and I killed her by drowning her." I explain. Now she seems more like her. She seems to be awake and ok.

"You drowned her in a desert? Are you sure it wasn't you who was unconcious?" she asks jokingly.

"No, I'm sure, I used the water from the pond."

"You're so weird Seaweed Brain." Yup, she's back.

"Hey, well if I didn't have this 'Seaweed Brain' you might be dead at this moment!"

"I'm just kidding! But thank you." she says, and leans in to hug me, I hug her back. It's night time. Wow. That went fast. But still no sign of Danny and them...

Up in the sky a blue screen appears. "The fallen." It says. "Humans:"

That means no demigods have died yet, wonderful. I go to sleep, by Annabeth.

I wake up in the middle of the night, with a scream. I look up, and it's Silena!

I get up to help her, I'm sure Annabeth will be ok. I run over by Silena. She's running, and when she notices me, she shakes her head no, as if she doesn't want me to help her. I near into her and she yells, "Percy! No!" she jumps in front of me and falls to the ground. Then the person following her falls from a random arrow shot at him/her...I can't tell, it's dark.

I look over at Silena on the ground, and a bow is in her stomach. She took that for me. That's why she didn't want me to come by her, she knew that person was aiming for me.

I kneel down by her.

"Silena! Why did you do that!" I say.

"Brian Jones, son of Ares. He found me, and said that either he would kill me, or I would show him where you were, so he could kill you." she said, she sounds light.

"And, I ran, I couldn't let him kill you, but he followed me. And when I saw you, I didn't want you to get hurt because of me, so I didn't want you to help me." she continues.

"Silena, you took this arrow for me. I will always remember you, you saved me. Thank you. Don't feel any guilt, you are amazing." I say.

"Percy, I know their plan, some of the demigods: Brian, Andrew, Lily, and Ronny. They want you. They want you because they said you hurt their family members in the war against Kronos." she said, she explained to me their plan.

"Silena-you're a great demigod. Thank you, now let's try to help you, c'mon." I say, I can't let her die because of me.

"Percy, no. I-I'm sorry Percy." she says, and her eyelids close. No. No! NO! She can't go, not in place of me-that's it.

Katniss, Danny, and Peeta come.

"Did he die? I think I hit him?" Katniss asks.

"Yes, you hit him, so I think he did, but so did..." They look over and see her. They know.

"C'mon." I say and head back to Annabeth.

"Where are we going?" Peeta asks.

"To kill Andrew, Lily, and Ronny. They killed Silena, she took the arrow for me. Now they are going to pay the price. Silena died a hero, maybe not to others, but to me. And now I'm going to make it up to her." I say.

And we head over to Annabeth, to wake her up, and go get Andrew, Lily, and Ronny, and make sure that Silena was their last kill.
