I'm listening to Say Something by A Great Big World and featuring Christina Aguilera. I'm feeling some emotional stuff guys, and I feel I need to write this. The song reminds me of Percabeth, when they fell into Tatarus. :(

My wrists felt numb and sore with the tight ropes tied around them. The waves thrashed around in Poseidon's rage. I breathed. It was about time we get out of here. To get out of this hell hole and to kill Kronos (get it? Huh?) I screamed in agony and used all my strength to rip Percy and I out of the tight ropes. We abruptly fell onto the floor. I was breathing hard. Breath. Breath. Breath. Loud foot noises came towards us. I growled and scowled at the floor.
"Where are you going, princess?" Soot kicks my side. I screamed and rolled around like a cracked egg. "Annabeth!" Percy screams and reaches his hands out towards me. "I-I'm fine," I say to him. Soot cackles and snorts, holding his stomach. "Idiots!" Soot let out, "You really think you could stop me. Hell no!" He draws his sword from his sheath and holds it to my neck. I gulped, my Adam's apple lightly brushing onto the blade. "Make a move, princess, and I will-"
"SOOT!" Chris' voiced bellowed from above, "DON'T TOUCH THE CHILD!" Soot backed away from me and turned towards Chris. He wrinkles his nose and smirks, "Ah, so Chris has finally stood up. Interesting. Wait until I tell your family about you. About how you betrayed them and let them die of starvation." Chris' eyes welled up and brushed them away by the rim of his sleeve. "Don't talk about them that way," he croaks, "NOT. EVER!" Chris holds a dagger from his belt and charges at Soot.
Their blades met. Sword against dagger. Iron against gold. They lunged and attacked. They defended and blocked. Yes. This was the way of a pirate's life. They just used the same technique and moves, that if jugs kept on going until they were tired and were out of breath. But they just kept moving and moving, it was if it were replaying a game of fencing for five hours.
And on cue, Chris winks at us, the signal for us to get over the ship. I looked at Percy and nodded. He threw his ball point pen at me, which I caught in my mouth, and pulled out the lid. It grew into his sword, Riptide, and I swiped my mouth towards my heels. I kept cutting off ropes until they were loose, and then went to go help Percy. And bent down and kissed his forehead while untying the hard knots. The knots drops down onto the floor, and I help out my hand out to Percy. He smiled and grabbed my hand while I pulled him up.
I grabbed my dagger from my pocket and took my stance, ready to fight. Percy had a determined face which made me smile.
While Chris and Soot where staggering around, swords in hand, I ran up to them. My legs were quick and agile. I yelled out a cry of battle and stabbed Soot in the side with a huge slash with my celestial bronze knife. My face was stone solemn, staring down at the bloody body that was dying. I kicked his side as he his voice cries out in pain. He crumples up into a ball. As weakness takes over, he slowly unfolds from his ball and exposed his body outwards.
"This is what you get," I venomously say, "I know I mustn't kill you. But the wounds and scars will remind you that..." I leaned down to his ear "... That I will always be waatching you and will always defeat you. I will scar you even more, you will get tired from the pain and throw your own body overboard." I stood back up and put my dagger back into my pocket.
A crowd of pirates had gathered around as they watched as I cut their master. Fortunately, they were too much of cowards that they aren't courageous enough to face me. I smirked. Victory is mine.
I felt more... Alive. More bloodthirsty. Wanting to ki- I shook my head hard and blinked my eyes numerous of times. What has gotten into me.
I turned my body and faced Percy. His sea green eyes drilled into mine. He gasped and backed up to the edge of the ship. I raised my golden brows.
"What?" I ask. "Y-your eyes!" He stammers, pointing to my eyes, "They're turning golden! Just like the color of Luke's!" I breathed and ran to the sea. It was storming and waves booms loudly. I stared back at my reflection.
That wasn't me I saw. It was like... Luke's eyes. I gulped and screamed at the sight. I grabbed my hair and started to pull it hard. "This can't be happening!" I say. The golden was glowing through the gray ones. It was completely unbelievable.
Percy runs to me and grabs my forearms and hugs me tight. "Annabeth! You're still with me. Don't let it take over you! Breathe. Think about things you love. Your pet Nemo. Your brother, Malcolm. Our home, Camp Half Blood. But most importantly... me... Percy, your Seaweed Brain. The one and only person who will love you for infinity." And with that, he pressed his lips onto my and gripped my head. He grabbed my waist and pulled me in. When we haves finished, he leans back (still holding my waist), and breathes.
The crew of pirates were growling aggressively, as they unsheathed their hooked swords, ready to avenge their unfaithful master. "Get 'em, boys," a pirate growls as he bent his legs forward to attack. They all roared mightly and heaved and pounded their chests.
I gave one last look at Chris, still hovering over the limo body. "Go, child," he mouths. He brings two fingers to his lips and point them to me. I looked back at the ocean, the place to escape. I gripped onto Percy's hand and we got ready to jump off the ship.
"One," I say.
"Two," he says and squeezes my hand harder.
"Three," I says and shut my eyes.
I heard the roars of the men barely making a sound because of the wild wind. And that, our feet connect with the clear liquid and floated down and down into the dark.
Percy hugged my tight, and I rested my head onto his shoulder. We were like that until we hit the bottom floor. We lay down in peace, hugging each other still and drifted our eyes so that we could get the sleep we wanted since the pirates' abuse.
A secret person you have to guess' POV
"THEY GOT AWAY!" I yelled at my err.. helpers... "Sire, have you noticed the way her eyes glowed?" My nerdy servant asks. "Yes," I say, "they were gold like her hair. So?"
The servant snorts, "That's the symbol you've been waiting for, my good sir. We can use it to our advantage. Make the girl ours! Bring her to our side. The prophecy of Olympus coming to our side! Isn't that amazing?!" I waved my hand in dismissal, ignoring the fact that I didn't get that before. "Yeah," I say, "Blah, blah, blah! Aren't you supposed to be serving my dear sister, hmmm?"
The servant looks up to me in the eyes. "Sir," he pleads, "I have always wanted to be serving right on your feet! I have always wanted to be apart if the world's rebellion! Be apart of the war! Get into something crazy! You know?" I wrinkled my nose at the geekiness of the person that was intensely bothering me.
I pursed my lips and played a forced smile. "You always wanted to be apart of the army, huh? We'll let me tell you," I leaned forward so he could hear my whispers, "Get me the Oracle of Delphi, then you could join my group."
He nods. "I'll be on it, sir," he says and scurries away through the corridor.
My favorite (and extremely hot) servant, Alicia, was fanning me until she dropped her fan and whispered in my ear, "What have you done, master? This might cause an even wilder rebellion then there was before! We might get more kills before it could even start!"
I roll my eyes and trailed my hand over her arm. "Don't worry, sweetie Alicia," I say, "I'll protect you if you stay by my side and fan me." She gags a little and snarls, "I won't make any promises, sire. And my name is Bianca, for your information!"
I smirk, "Do what I say. If you don't hmm... I will get him." I looked at my nails and played with them. "You wouldn't!" She cries. "I am the ruler, Alicia! I could do whatever I want! And there's no way you're stopping me doing so."
She exasperated. I raised an eyebrow and leaned in, feeling so jumpy and happy that I have her by my side. "And don't forget, honey, you will always be mine."
Was it just me, or did I see a tear come out of her eye? Oh well, it doesn't matter anyways. Everything I going the way I planned after all.
Watch out Olympus. And Kronos.
Who is that dude? And why does he have Bianca? And you also thought that he was Kronos? Haha! No! I love it how I mess with your little minds. Maybe you could guess who this secret man is and get a shout out. Peace! (::) and a cookie, too! BYYYEEEE!
stay happy- GOA
