Hi everyone!
I am sorry for the last cliffhanger but it was necessary. I hope you forgive me...
Enjoy chapter 2!
Percy
"Annabeth—it's me! Percy! Your boyfriend?"
She shook her head, as if trying to remember. "I'm sorry. I just—don't remember you."
My heart fell down to my stomach. She didn't remember me. I stood up, walked over to a tree, and banged my fist against it. My knuckle groaned in pain. I fell to the ground, ignoring it, and burst into tears.
Annabeth came up behind me, and put a hand on my shoulder. "Are-are you okay?"
I squeezed my eyes shut. "No." I cracked.
I felt her hand slip off my shoulder. "I don't know who you are but, I'm going back to Camp Half-Blood." She stated.
I stood up, suddenly wide awake. "You-you remember Camp Half-Blood?"
She nodded. "Yeah, the last thing I remember was Luke bringing me to camp after Thalia-"
"-turned into a pine tree?" I finished. There was still hope she remembered me, but I was worried she would never remember me again. I bit back a sob, and straightened up. "Okay, let's go."
I wanted to pulverize Nico Di Angelo. He pushed Annabeth into the River Lethe and made her forget me. I will never forgive him for what he'd done.
I glanced at Annabeth. Her usual bright, playful, stormy gray eyes were now dark with confusion. I wanted to throw my arms around her and say everything would be okay, but then she would think I was a psychopath.
I kept Riptide uncapped, just in case that slime ball decided to show up. No monsters attacked all the way to the entrance which was unusual for the Underworld. I let Annabeth go first, and followed behind, ready to attack if anything popped up.
Light shone into my face, making hard to see. When my vision cleared, I realized we were on the borders of Camp Half-Blood. I wondered how we got there, but I decided not to question it. I raced up the hill, determined to get up. Annabeth sprinted after me. For a moment, I saw that familiar sparkle in her eyes, but as quickly as it had appeared, it was replaced with the gloomy darkness.
I swallowed back another sob. I swore to the gods if I ever saw Nico Di Angelo again, I would kill him.
With that happy thought, I crossed the borders.
Chiron was the first to greet us. The other campers raced down to greet us, but I gave Chiron him a look that said, "We need to talk, alone", and he nodded.
"Everyone is to go back to their normal duties now!" He commanded the crowd of demigods.
They groaned, but listened to him.
"Percy, Annabeth, why don't we go talk in the Big House?"
I nodded and together we walked inside.
"What happened?" Chiron asked when he locked the door.
I cleared my throat, and began.
"We met Nico, and he mentioned a bigger threat before—" I started to choke up. "He pushed Annabeth into the River Lethe. Now her only memories of when she first came to Camp Half-Blood, and younger."
Chiron looked stunned, and looked at Annabeth. She stared down at her feet.
"I see."
"Chiron is there any cure?" I asked with pleading eyes.
Chiron pursed his lip. "I'm sorry Percy, there is no cure. The only thing we can do is hope her memory returns."
I collapsed in a chair. "I'm going to kill Nico." I stated, gritting my teeth.
Chiron looked down. "Percy, I have seen plenty heroes try and get revenge. It never ends well."
I shook my head, and started to leave. "I don't care. He is going to pay."
"Percy, stay here for now, okay?"
I nodded. "Fine."
As I started to walk outside Chiron spoke.
"And, Percy?" Chiron said. "You should stay away from Annabeth for now."
Duh duh duh the good old cliffhanger. How will Percy react? Stay tuned for the next chapter! Get to ten reviews in this story and I will post chapter 3! Get reviewing!
