Fancied writing from a different character today so enjoy
Annabeth's POV:
I am ill, I am emotionally ill, I am ill because of Percy. Nobody will find me here, here is the storage compartment on the lower deck. Why wont he talk to me, why wont he listen, could we break up just because of simple communication problems. I wish I was like Piper, she seems to know how to handle boys, I will not dare to ask her, I don't want anybody to know. This is between him and me. We will sort it out.
I fact I will go and look for him now.
I creep out the storage compartment and in to the main corridor of the lower deck, nobody is there. I walk out past the stables, and then I see the glass doors. Memories rush through me, I am dizzy. I cannot see. I cannot hear. But I can remember. I can feel. Then blackness.
When I awake I am staring at a white ceiling, sickbay. I turn to see Jason. Why would he be looking after me, why not Percy. Then I remember what has happened, I pass out again.
The next time I wake up, Jason is still there but looking out at the sea. I cough.
"Annabeth," he says, "I don't know how to break this to you, but Percy is missing." A world without Percy again, this time without a good last memory. I begin to sob. He turns and comes to my bedside, his eyes unreadable. He puts his hand on my shoulder, in comfort.
I start to get up, "I am going to look for him." I announce.
"Annabeth, your not well enough..." Jason starts but I cut him off
"No you will listen to me, I don't care how my body is, my mind is still awake, and I have looked for him once, and I will find him again."
"What happened between you?" Jason asked
"That is none of your business,"
"It is now he is missing, it may help us find him."
I give in and explain, tears run down my face, I ignore them. Jason is a good listener, he doesn't interrupt and he doesn't try and comfort me, he knows it will not make a difference. He just looks at me knowingly with his stormy eyes. I turn away.
Leo walks in about two minutes later. He sees me and says "Festus has done a scan of the areas we have pasted through, there is no sign of him. Where did u see him last?"
"By the glass doors," I stammer,
"Going back to his room," Jason says, I look at him in shock.
"When was that, and why, did he look upset?" I gave in to my emotions.
"Umm he was looking for you, but I think he was just giving up."
"When?" I demanded
"Half eleven ish"
Everyones eyes we on me, I got up and promptly fell over.
"We'll go." Jason said
"Not without me you wont!"
"Fine, Leo help her up."
"Why me?!" Leo joked, he helped me to my feet the I used him to walk towards the door, Jason followed.
We arrived at Percy's cabin, the wind was blowing everything into a mess, as the balcony doors we open. My mind spun. Using Leo, I walked on to the balcony, there was a footprint on the top railing. Tears streamed down my face, Leo looked away, he had worked out what had happened. But then my mind clicked, Percy could breathe underwater, maybe there was a hope of finding him. Jason saw the look of hope upon my face.
"Yes, he might be alive, but there is no way to find him."
I dragged myself back into the room, without Leo, with hope I felt stronger. I sat on his bed.
"If you don't mind, I would prefer to be alone."
Leo nodded, Jason locked the balcony doors and took the key with him as they left.
I was alone again with the hope of seeing him another time.
