The Nightmare
ANNABETH'S POV
My head was on my mom's lap, I was trying not to cry. We had gotten zero news from the doctors and the nurses. It's been half an hour since I called Malcolm. I was getting up to go take a walk outside the hospital to see when they would arrive when I saw Thalia come in. Thalia ran over to me and hugged me. I couldn't hold it anymore, I let some tears escape my eyes. When we separated from each other Will, Malcolm and Chiron gave me a hug, Clarisse was there as well.
"Annabeth I need you to tell us exactly what happened so we can see what we can do for him" Chiron said.
"Percy and I went to his mom's apartment to tell her that he had asked me to marry him, and then when we were going to his a car a whole bunch of spiders were there.-" I kept telling him about everything that happened, from when he called Blackjack to when I fought Arachne.
"Do you know what type of poison that is?" he asked.
I nodded my head. "Arachne said it was poison from all mortal creatures especially spiders, and from monsters." (Just so you know, I am making this stuff up.)
"Anything else?" He asked.
"When we were in the ambulance and the paramedic wasnt paying attention to us, Percy said that he didn't think even Apollo could heal him, that it was worst when when the pit scorpion stung him." I said
Chiron looked in deep though for a while, then he said "Annabeth I'm sorry, even Percy surprised me this time, he may be right about doubting that Apollo could heal him." He said.
"So you're trying to tell me that Percy wont survive?" I asked as I held back a sob.
"I'm not sure Annabeth. I'm just simply saying that his chances of survival are 10 percent." He said
I started to cry when I heard Clarisse say "wow so we finally found a match for the great O' great hero of Olympus" Clarisse said.
I threw my knife at the wall right next to her and missing her only by only a few inches. Her eyes widen and she became quiet.
Then I dug my head into my legs and started to silently cry.
"Clarisse either that mean shut up because you're not helping or that means I'll talk to you later and not in the good way. Thalia said. Four hours passed and I picked up my head up as a doctor walked I jumped out of my chair as he called for Percy's family, of course I was the first one to go up to him.
"I have good news and bad news. Which would you all like to here first?" the doctor asked. No one answer they were all waiting for me to make the choice.
"Tell us the good news first please." I said.
"The good news is that we were able to stop the poison from reaching his heart and any other weak spots he may have." The doctor said relieving me.
"Now should I tell you the bad news or should I wait for another moment?" he asked.
"No." I said calmly. "Please tell us the bad news." I said.
"Well the bad news is that he is in a very deep comma there is no telling how long it can take him to awaken. Some commas take days, weeks, months and even years, and I'm afraid that his case is so severe that he may probably not wake up until months from now, and sometimes months turn to years," he sighed. "I'm sorry but that's the best we could have done." He said then he walked away.
I fell to my knees, I couldn't hold it anymore, tears escaped my eyes,"no, no, no, no" I kept saying repeatedly wishing that all this was a dream. The more I tried to wake up the more it turned to reality. Thalia picked me up and took me to a chair where she tried to comfort me. I was crying so much I hadn't realized I was now dreaming.
I was dreaming of a beach. There were to figures coming towards me a girl and a Pegasus. As the figures came closer I realized the girl was me and the Pegasus was Blackjack. Blackjack didn't look to good and neither did I. blackjack was still black but much skinnier. Skinny enough to be able to show his ribs. His coat wasn't well taken cared of and he looked like his was about to drop dead. I looked like a total wreck. My hair was tied in knots and it was puffy. My eyes were red and puffy from crying. I looked older like about 30 years old. I felt something hit my foot. I picked up the front of a newspaper and read the name of the newspaper "Olympus daily." Then read the headline. "Our hero of Olympus died a year after being in comma." I started to cry when the scene shifted. I saw Percy he was facing me giving me his goofy smiled.
Percy waved at me and mouthed the words "Annabeth. I love you, we'll see each other soon." His voice echoed in the darkness Then he turned around and started walking. He walked towards a bright light and I woke up startled. Everyone looked at me and I started to cry.
My mom walked over to me hugged me and said "don't worry Annabeth, he'll be fine" the she grumbled something I couldn't understand "he is strong, he'll pull through."
I nodded my head, and she said "I told Apollo if he could help in anyway, so right now he is trying to make an antidote, alright, don't worry"
I nodded my head again "thanks"
My mom hugged me and said "I better get back to Olympus before my father starts going crazy." She hugged me and left in a flash.
