Annabeth's POV
I massaged my scalp with my fingers. The stress of losing Percy to Cecelia was unbearable. I was pacing around a small lounge where no one was in sight of. I needed some time alone. Percy had confessed his love for me, and I believed him. But as a daughter of Athena, I couldn't help wondering what comes in the future. There is so much things to prepare for. I should have seen it coming! I knew that I was some phsyco-path.
FLASH BACK...
I was about five years old. I was currently playing around with my best friends, Thalia, Juniper and some cute boy I had a crush on whose name was Derek (he won't be a major part of this story. But if you want to, just review down at the bottom.) We were busily playing 'chasie', a game where you tag someone and they have to tag someone and on and on. It was like 'it.'
We were in the Pre-Primary play ground and garden area where we go for recess and lunch. My favorite spot was personally near the pond, where there were gold fish swimming around. The pond was rather big, ten feet long and ten feet deep. My friends were trailing behind me, following my lead away from Derek. That's when everything went in slow motion. I didn't see it coming, but I tripped on a rock and fell slowly.
I was screaming, and I splashed into the water, with my friends' eyes widened in shock and bewilderment. They didn't help me whatsoever, they just ran to the teacher to help. I looked up, holding my breath. I didn't know how to swim back then. So that's what I thought. I was going to die. My life will tragically end in the most stupidest ways, just because we were playing a game.
I shut my eyes and let the water go through my nostrils and let me drown. It seemed I was sitting there for minutes, which let me feel perplexed to what happened. "My lady," a squeaky voice says, "Look at me." I turned around and saw one of my favorite gold fish. I had name him Nemo because he reminded me of that fish from the Walt Disney movie.
I felt scared. I was probably paranoid and was just thinking stupid imaginative things. "N-Nemo?" I stuttered. Whenever my friends weren't here to play, I would always skip to the pond and kneel down right on the edgy cliff. I would talk to him and share my feelings. Nemo would stop and look at me, as if he were to listen to my words.
Nemo smiled? "I have been listening, lady. When I hear you despair and cry, I feel heart broken, wishing that I could turn back into my real form and place my hand on your cheek. I have always knew you were the one," he says. "The one?" I ask. "It's not the time to say. There will be a boy when you are older. He will help you through. You must go now," he replies.
"But-"
"Go. Believe you can fight for your life!" He says and disappears into the shadows. I eyes trailed to where he swam, waiting for him to reappear. Just silence. I closed my eyes shut, hard. If I wanted to make this goldfish happy, I have to follow his command. I reached within myself and held in all my power. I opened and push myself with all my might I raged up to the surface. The water thrashed around and I burst into the air. Maybe a little too high into the air because I was at least seven metres off the ground.
A little water was underneath me, like a pillow. The water stopped throwing me up and came back down into the pond. I looked down and saw that I was falling freely. I closed my eyes once again. Before I could hit the ground, the wind swept me and helped me land onto our trampoline.
I looked down to my clothes. They weren't wet. Not what I was expecting. Maybe I was daydreaming. I didn't seem wet, so that could've meant that I was dazing off to space. I knew this was some sort of mind game.
I haven't noticed that everyone was gone. I heard the bells ringing and all the children were lined up in girl and boy. I hopped off the trampoline and ran to the girl's line.
Thalia was in front of me. I nudged her by the arm and whispered, "Did you see what happened to me?" I had to make sure if the dream was real or not. She raised an eyebrow in an unfazed way.
"ANNABETH CHASE! STOP TALKING IMMEDIATELY!" our teacher, Miss Docks (lol) roars. I hid my face behind Thalia's back.
I was still wondering if that encounter was real. Because it seemed as if it was.
End of Flashback
I blinked my eyes. Nemo was talking about Percy. The boy who would help me through my journey. He was my teacher. Even though he didn't seem like it. I sighed and plopped down onto the sleek white couch.
Percy's head peeked through the wall and stared at me. "What are you doing here?" I say. "I was looking for you, of course," he says, "I saw you here. I was scared. You were just standing there and closing your eyes. And your eyes were glowing, too. I thought it would be the best to not disturb you."
I smiled tiredly. The flashback somehow made me tired and feel limp. "I had a flashback... That was all," I say. "Tell me," he says while sitting down next to me. I sighed. It was finally time I told Percy everything. Including the very start.
I started to confess myself, glad that I was opening up to the one I love. The whole inside was gone. "When I was little, I had this bizarre moment. At the age of five, I met this fish," I shook my head, "I names him Nemo. We met when I was in Pre Primary. There was this gigantic pond in the playing area. Well... every time my friends refused to play with me, I would always confess myself to him. It was almost as if he were listening. One day I fell into the pond and he was there to help me. He was telling about how I'm going to meet you. He also told me how to get out of the pond, because I was stuck and didn't know how to swim. I burst into the surface, with water underneath my bottom. I fell onto the trampoline near by. I asked my best friend, Thalia Grace, if she or anyone else saw. She only looked at me as if I were crazy and got a bonk in the head."
"When I was seven... My home burnt down. I cried and cried and felt hopeless," I say, looking down at my feet, "My mother and father were there, luckily. They were there to comfort me. And then we were homeless. We scavenged through garbage trashes to see if we can use them for resourcefulness. All I got was a cardboard box as my bed. I heard shouting and checked if my parents were still there. They were. I fell asleep. That's when I heard real shouting... The next time I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital looking room. My parents were holding a needle towards me, but I escaped their wrath. I knew that my parents were no longer with me, and that they were taken by demonds." I look up and smiled weakly and Percy, "And that's when I met you. I remember you promised to look after me and guide me. Just like what Nemo had said. It was all true."
"From then I lived with Granny. She took me to school and paid the fees. She was pretty young if you ask me. She is somewhere in her fifties. But anyways, I met this boy, Luke. He was like my older brother. Remember we saw him at the Arena?" He nodded. I continued, "I don't know what he was doing there. But everytime I saw him I blushed." Percy face looked grim. "He reminded me of you, Percy" I stated. He grinned and pecked my cheek. "That's why I also blushed whenever I saw him. But I just loved him as a brother." He nodded, understanding the content I had just said.
"And now you know the rest of the story!" I exclaimed and threw my hands up I to the air. He smiled, "Thank you for sharing and trusting me, Annie." I playfully glared at him. "I will always trust you, Seaweed Brain," I saw. "I will trust you too, Wise Girl," he kissed my lips.
And that was how I spent my day.
I really needed to rush. Sorry for any mistakes! I hadn't had anything interesting today... Oh wait... I did... The floor is rising because I had a leak from the fridge which cause the wood to rise. I nearly fell. I knew there was something going in with the floor!
stay happy- GOA
