Hey people. How has everyone been? Good I hope. Sorry it's been a while, I've been busy with school and stuff. Okay so here is the next chapter and I'm kind of excited for it. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
Annabeth
"On three. One, two…Three!" Annabeth watched as Jason and Frank dunked Percy's muscular limp form into the pool. They waited till Annabeth gave them a thumbs up, and pulled Percy back above the water.
Even soaking wet and pale as snow Percy was hot. Annabeth walked forward and took Percy's face in her hands. "Percy, wake up." She whispered. He took a raspy breath but still didn't respond. She frowned, worry pounding through her heart. "Again." She said and backed away as Jason and Frank dumped Percy back into the pool.
Up, down.
Up, down.
Up, down.
Up, down.
"Pull him back up." Annabeth said. Jason and Frank pulled Percy out of the water again and laid him on the ground. Hazel walked over and knelt beside Annabeth and felt Percy's forehead. "He is still warm. Not as bad as before, but still warm." Annabeth growled and ran frustrated fingers through her hair. "Wake up Seaweed Brain. I just got you back and am not going to loss you again." She said. Percy remained unconscious.
"Let's try it one more time." Piper suddenly said. Annabeth looked over at her and Piper said "He is stronger in water right? Well maybe if he is in the water I can charmspeak him awake, keep him from dying. It worked with Jason."
Annabeth stared at her for a second, and then a huge smile spread across her face. "Okay, let's try it. We can't keep dunking him forever." Frank nodded and pushed Percy into the pool. Annabeth watched as he slowly sank to the bottom, the water seeming to cradle him. "Hurry, please." She heard Frank say.1
"Please, please work. I don't know what else to do." Annabeth prayed silently as Piper opened her mouth to speak.
Frank
Frank had watched Percy fight the 'mini' dragon with awe. He had moved so fast it should have been illegal. When Percy had suddenly fainted-looking like death warmed over- Frank had been confused. Percy had said he had just gotten a few scratches, not even deep enough to make him bleed. And that was when he remembered reading during monster class that most dragons have poisonous claws.
He'd felt panic settle in then. Percy was like a brother to Frank, actually tactically Percy was his many great's grandpa or uncle. Something like that. Not that Frank liked to think about that- it was just too weird.
And just now he had been dunking his best friend into is pool, hoping it would heal the poison coursing through Percy's body. Now he had to wait hopelessly as Percy sank to the bottom of the pool slowly. He glanced over at Piper "Hurry, please." He said and she nodded before opening her mouth to charmspeak Percy awake and fine. Hopefully.
Percy
Darkness had filled his vision. It was impenetrable, endless, and admittedly frightening. Percy stood alone in the darkness, looking wildly around. "Annabeth! Hazel, Frank? Where are you guys!" he called out.
Laughter sounded through the darkness, making Percy jump. "Percy Jackson." Percy swung around and gasped at the giant walking toward him. His legs were covered in stormy blue scales, his torso whirled with hurricanes, rain, and crashing waves all them moving across the giants huge chest like a motion picture movie on sea storms. The giant's hair was black grey color like storm clouds, his eyes completely grey.
"Great, another giant!" Percy muttered angrily even though he kind of expected it. "I am Aegaeon, giant of sea storms." Percy waved and said "Nice to meet you Aegaeon- wait, actually, no. It's not nice to meet you. Sorry, I just like you guys."Aegaeon chuckled and said "Ahh, well it won't matter soon. If you don't die by the poison in you right now, you'll die in just a matter of days."
"Not to be rude, but that's not really on my agenda, so therefore I don't plan to die. You on the other hand, might want to start thinking about what kind of flowers you want at your funeral. I'm thinking daisies." Percy said, stoking his chin as he looked at Aegaeon.
He roared in anger and spat "I will kill you boy!" Aegaeon charged forward just as a beautiful, soothing voice filled the darkness. "Percy. Percy, wake up. Please Percy."
Percy blinked and looked up at the water filling his vision. What the heck? He pushed off the floor of his pool and swam to the surface of the water. His head broke the surface and he was left looking up at the others.
"How in the world did I get into this pool?" he asked as he pulled himself out of the water. He dried instantly Annabeth tackled him in a hug and he looked down at her in surprise. "What was that for?" he asked her. "Don't you remember?" Hazel asked him.
"Umm, I remember killing the mini dragon and talking to you guys for a bit and then I was talking to Aegaeon." He said. Annabeth pulled away "Who?" she demanded but he just smiled at her for a second before turning to Piper. "What happened?" he asked.
"Percy, you were poisoned and we tried dunking you like five times but you wouldn't wake up so we threw you back into the pool and Piper here charmspeaked you awake." Leo said. Percy raised an eyebrow "You guys dunked me into the pool instead of just giving me some nectar or ambrosia?"
"Well, why waste our stores when we could just dunk you and let the water heal you?" Annabeth said. Percy grinned, and not a nice grin. "Oh, this is why."
Annabeth shrieked as pool water dumped it's self on her head and the others. Percy laughed at all their angry expressions- even though they were all starting to laugh. "Percy-" Annabeth began, but he pulled her to him and kissed her.
It was so much better being with all of them instead of Aegaeon. They all actually had a sense of humor!
So what do you guys think? Please review and tell me what you think I might have planned for later in the story. I'm very excited for the next chapter which will be from Leo's point of view. And sorry I haven't really done any Frank chapters. It's just I really haven't come to a good part to tell from his point of view- so right now some of his parts will be with the others when I feel like it's a good part to add him in. Bye for now!
