Previously on PJD:

I stand on the edge, my toes just wiggling over it as the water roars beneath me. The only thing standing in my way is the fear. I fall forwards.

But someone pulls me back. I feel the tug and let out a yell.

"What the hell-"

"Percy stop," says a feminine voice. Annabeth. She must of followed me.

"Leave me alone!" I say tears springing on my eyes once again. I've only cried because of Gabe before. She must be surprised.

"Percy I love you. I hate Luke. I'm-I'm going to dump him. I know you and Piper will help me get through this. But don't walk out of my life please. I need you," she says. I stare into her beautiful gray eyes and we pull into a kiss.

I love her so much. I'll never let her go.

Annabeths POV

I saw Percy storm out, tears springing in his eyes. I knew I was after Leo, who was after Percy. As Percy slammed the door, I caught it and slipped out. Everyone was too nervous to realize.

I crept behind Percy, who was muttering to himself and I saw tears falling and splashing to the ground. What happened in that room?

He seemed to be heading in the direction of the pit. Maybe he was going to go let out his anger and....

At that moment I knew what he was going to do. I started running as silently as possible, and I caught up right behind him as he stood on the edge.

The panic that had risen inside me disappeared when he just stood on the edge looking out at the open river. He was just looking out.

Then he started to fall. I held back a screech and grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back.

He started to yell. "What the hell-"

"Percy stop," I say quietly. I am nervous he won't turn around and will lash out at me. He turns around though.

He has tears in his eyes and looks about to ball his eyes out.

"Leave me alone!" He cries out. Then he sees it's me and his expression softens a little but the tears still remain.

"Percy I love you. I hate Luke. I'm-I'm going to dump him. I know you and Piper will help me get through this. But don't walk out of my life please. I need you," I say. I feel my own tears gathering but I wipe them away.

I stare into his amazing sea green eyes and pull him into a kiss.

"I love you seaweed brain," I whisper. Then I pull away and grab his hand. "Promise me you won't ever think of doing that again. It won't help any of us. Okay?" I demand. He nods.

"I need to go think in the bunker. See you at dinner wise girl," he says. He gives my cheek a kiss and my heart flutters. He wipes the tears away and puts on a brave face, walking to the bunker.

I run to the simulation room and I hear Rachel call my name with a glare. She's never liked me.

She opens the door and lets me in and gestures to the chair. I sit and lay my head on the rest. She looks at me with a blank face, and hold up a needle.

"Get used to this. You'll be dealing with this every day, so good luck. You'll need it," she says. She inserts the needle hot my neck, a little deeper than I would of liked. The world goes fuzzy.

"Oh, and one mow thing before your gone Annabeth," she says. "Don't be afraid. You probably will though being afraid of the stupid spiders."

How does she know? I thought, but my world goes black, as I see her smirk.

___________________________

I am standing in a dark room. I can barely see the walls, and they are covered by webs.

Spider webs.

I shriek and sink to my knees on the floor. I hear clattering of what sounds like metal spiders coming down the walls. That's when I see them.

They come down the walls like a massive wave and head towards me. I scream and stand up. They are coming closer. Slowly but surely they will eat me, bite me, kill me.

I feel the first few on the feet and I fling them off by kicking my feet while screaming. I screech till my throat is raw, but they climb all over me until I am engulfed.

It feels like hours they crawl all over me, under my clothes, in my skin. I can't even scream anymore as the tears pour down. Then I realize something.

This isn't real.

I stop squirming and spider after spider disappears. I feel a flicker of hope. It was working!

This isn't real. This ISN'T REAL!

They start disappearing and relief flood me.

"This isn't real!" I say out loud, and they are gone. I am alone in the room wiping the tears off my face until I am back into the simulation room.

"Wow Annabeth. That is the second fastest time today! I wonder how you did that..." she says.

I feel like something is wrong and it's pulling in my gut. I decide to play dumb.

"What are you talking about?" I say.

"Oh, you know! Your divergent. You can control simulations. You said it yourself, 'this isn't real!'. She imitates in a high annoying voice. It makes me want to choke her. But I hold a blank face.

"I don't remember anything. Nothing even happened. The world was black and then I woke up...." I trail off, being the good liar I was. I could never be Candor.

But I know she's right. My aptitude test said I was divergent. The kind lady Reyna said I couldn't tell anyone. I got Dauntless and Erudite.

"Then maybe it was a glitch in the system," Rachel says confused. She puts on a pouty face. "I was really looking forward to telling K-"

"Rachel! Hurry it's an emergency! We need you!" Leo slams open the door and ushers us out. We follow him down towards the bunker and my heart races. Did Percy attempt what I think he did? When I thought he loved me?

We open the door to the bunker to see a kid with an eyepatch and knife standing over a body. The body is bloody and has a horrible stand would in his arm. The eyepatch kid yells something and throws a green ball at us. Smoke erupts from it and I can't see anything. When it clears the boy is gone.

We all rush over to the boy. His jet black hair is clotted with blood and his sea green eyes are closed. I choke out a sob as medics come rushing into the room and load him onto a stretcher.

The boy is Percy. My percy.

Third person POV

"Master, I did what you told," says a boy with an eyepatch. He drops the blood knife beside the leader of Erudite.

The leader, a burly man with golden eyes and no hair, wearing a blue suit looks down at the knife with a scowl.

"And where did you stab him, Ethan?" The leader growls.

"In the arm. But that's only because he screamed and I heard them coming and-"

"ETHAN! I told you you idiot! The heart! He may be still alive you idiot! Down to the dungeon patrol for a week! You'll have to answer to Luke when he gets back tonight," says the leader. He growls and pushes Ethan down the Erudite hallway to go to the underground dungeon to guard the divergent.

Ethan mutters to himself as he walks down the stairs and hears the leader mutter too.

"And I told you to call me Lord Kronos, not Master."

Hey guys! Two cliff hangers! Can they save Percy? Is he dead? Luv ya all!
