Snow White syndrome
Leo
We all start to walk back to the infirmary, with Percy and Magnus in front, Alex and Rachel right behind them, then Jason and Piper, and so on... I'm in the back with Calypso and Chiron is right behind us.
We reach the infirmary and Percy and Magnus instantly go over to Annabeth's bed side.
Percy grabs a chair and sits down. He takes Annabeth's hand in his. "Chiron," he says, "How do we wake her up...?"
"I don't know, Percy... I don't know..."
"What if you kiss her?" Everybody looks at me for a couple of minutes until Piper brakes the silence.
"What?"
"You know, in Snow White. The prince kissed her and she woke up. Would that work?" Sometimes I think I should keep my mouth shut...
"There's only one way to find out..." Thank the gods for Percy!
He puts his hand against her cheek softly and leans down to kiss her.... There lips touch and I wish I could say that she woke up, but I can't.
After he pulls away, we all stand there and watch... Nothing happened.
Percy
"Come on, Wise Girl. You can't leave me. Not after everything we've been through." I whisper in her ear. "Please don't leave me, I-i need you."
"I can't believe Athena would disappear." Rachel said, "She wouldn't leave Olympus like that.... At least not without a fight."
"What do you mean?" I ask, sitting up. I had laid on the bed next to Annabeth.
Rachel, Magnus, and I are the only ones in the room. Well, except for Annabeth.
"I don't think Athena just disappeared.... Something more happened to her."
"Have you told Chiron?" Magnus asks. Wow... He looks a lot like Annabeth.
"No. I don't have any proof to back it up."
"Rachel, your the Oracle. You don't need proof." I point out to her.
She looks down at her feet. "Percy.... After what happened the last two summer's... It's been hard to receive prophecies, or any sign of what the future holds."
Magnus and I look at each other and I can tell that we're both vary confused. "What?"
"Never min-" She stopped mid sentence.
"Rachel... What is it?" I can tell she isn't going all Oracle on us because she isn't doing the wired green mist thing, but something made her stop talking.
Alex
Rachel came running into the room with Magnus and Percy close behind. She looked fine, but both Magnus and Percy were both out of breath. "Wow, an Einherji out of breath...."
"Haha, vary funny. Rachel has something she needs to tell us."
"Okay, what is it?"
"I don't know. She didn't tell us."
"I wasn't asking you." I say to Magnus, then I turn to Rachel, "What did you want to tell us?"
"Iknowhowtowakethemup!"
"....... Okay... Can you say it slowly so that we can actually understand you?" Jason says.
"I know how to wake them up!"
