Chapter 4
Percy woke up missing Annabeth even more that before. His parents were in the front of the car arguing. It wasn't the first time, they've argued before. He yawned loudly to let them know he was awake. There was a slight pause of noise in the front then they continued in hushed whispers.
Percy only caught a few words: "Why" "Night" "Sleep" "Tired" "Drive" "No" "Need" "Safe" "Please". He couldn't understand what they were discussing so he just asked the most obvious question.
"Mommy, daddy, what are you talking about? When will we get there?"
"We'll be there in an hour honey." Sally responded. The squeak of tyres on the road stoped further talk. Poseidon stiffened and swore loudly.
"Don't use that language around our son!" Sally yelled. There was another squeak and the car jerked to the side.
"Wha-?" Sally was cut off by another jerk. This time there was a crash, bang, boom! Before they knew it, the car was in the air and it flipped forward onto its front end. Percy felt incredibly hot pain in his shoulder and heard a crack. He heard his mom scream but he was in too much shock to make a noise. Boom! The roof of the car was scraping along the road, sparks flew everywhere. The car hit something solid and sent shockwaves throughout the car, smashing the windshield in to a million pieces.
Percy's vision blurred, he made out two shapes in the front.
"Po-sei-don?" Sally croaked, she was bleeding profusely. She started to cry. She grabbed Poseidon's hand. "Percy... I – I love – ve you." Sally croaked breathing her last breath. Percy was crying, not just from the pain but somehow he understood his parents were dead or dying. He reached his neck and touched the gem on the necklace.
He thought one more thing before he blacked out.
Annabeth!
Percy felt like he was falling, falling back and never hitting the ground. He kept falling in to the abyss of nothingness. He felt a tug, he couldn't tell you where, just that there was one. Suddenly he wasn't falling any more. He was suspended in mid air. He had a choice, up or down. Up, he thought I don't like falling. He felt like he had been thrown up in the air. His stomach dropped just like in an elevator. Up and up he went, he saw a small light at the end of the abyss. He went through the light and he heard faint voices. They grew louder and louder.
"I think he's waking." a male voice said from beside him.
"Yes, I think you're right. Percy if you can hear me can you squeeze my hand." A female voice said. Percy felt a warm hand in his. He tried to squeeze but all he managed to do was twitch his fingers.
"He's responding, but he's very weak." The female voice said. "would you inform the Di Angelo's? I'll do some more tests."
Percy opened his ears to the world around him. He could hear the rustling of clothing, the constant beeb- beeb of a monitor, the sound of footsteps, and an air conditioner.
"Aright Percy, if you can feel this, clench your hand in to a fist." The female voice said. Percy felt something warm down near his foot. He tried to clench his hand into a fist but only managed to half close his hand. Percy focused on his next sense, touch. He felt the soft sheets on him. He slowly regained the feeling in his body. From fingertip to fingertip, head to toe. He felt a slight pinch in his left arm. He tried to open his eyes, all he could see was white. He blinked trying to adjust to the light. He closed his eyes after three seconds to rest, he was already tired. He opened his eyes for a full five seconds, he saw a young looking nurse by his bed writing notes, a needle in his arm. A needle! He let out a small gasp, staring at the needle in his arm. His eyelids softly closed and he was asleep. He heard a small chuckle before diving back into the dream world.
Percy woke up in a cold sweat. It was just past sunrise.
"Good morning." the nurse said walking in the door. Since the first day he woke up, Percy hadn't said a word except to Bianca, his cousin and only when they were alone. He couldn't remember anything at all from his life, the only thing he remembered was that night the night he became an orphan. He was getting better, slowly. He should be out of the hospital in two months, he couldn't stand the place.
Every time he felt sad when people talked about his past he would reach up to his neck and caress the grey stone, whoever had given him the necklace obviously cared for him.
As the two months passed, Nico and Hades grew on him. He began to talk to them, but still Bianca was his favourite. Percy would become a mute whenever somebody other than the Di Angelo's came in to his room. He would wear a blank expression and just stare at them until they left. Percy would cry himself to sleep on a regular basis, he was burying his feelings deep within, out of reach.
Well? how was it? Pease R&R and if you have any questions please ask or any criticism and remember i'll be updating soon with what happens to annabeth.
