Chapter 14
Annabeth
When my eyes shot open, I saw jet black hair being dragged by an Apollo camper. He was screaming my name.
"Percy?" I questioned myself. Impossible. I got up, ignoring the pain in my chest. It still hurt terribly, but I wanted to see if that was Percy. I got off the bed and limped around the infirmary.
"Is Percy here!?!" I demanded. The Apollo camper that was dragging him came towards me.
"Annabeth, Percy is in severe condition. He came on Half Blood Hill and collapsed on the ground. We know nothing about him, he just kept shouting your name and saying it was his fault. I need you to rest before you see each other." He explained.
I ran towards each room seeing which one Percy was in. The Apollo camper was yelling at me, but I wanted to see Percy. After a whole two weeks I needed to see my boyfriend. I ran into a room and saw the same jet black haired boy. His eyes were closed so I couldn't see his bright sea green eyes.
"Percy!!" I cried. Tears formed in my eyes while I held his hand. I kissed his cheek and hugged him. He was here. He was ok.
No he's not ok. Do you see this man? My brain argued.
Oh shut up! He is alive that's all what matters. He is ok! My heart yelled back.
I shook my head and went into the bed next to him. His shirt was all covered in blood. He was all covered in bandages. He looked like a mummy. He had a cut on his face, which I remembered from the dream. I took my hand and brushed his cheek. The scar was from his eye to his chin. Even though he was unconscious I hugged him again, taking in his ocean's scent.
"Percy I'm so sorry" I cried into his shoulder.
I was cuddling next to him so I felt safe around him. I couldn't sleep, I just wanted Percy to wake up.

Percy
I had a terrible dream.
I was chained to the wall, watching Evan and George whispering to each other. Aren't they dead? I killed them! Then Evan came towards me.
"Get the girl." A weird raspy voice came out of his mouth. The same one from my other dream.
George came back with Annabeth in his hand.
"NO!! Don't hurt her!!!" I screamed. Annabeth was crying, and so was I. If something happened to her, I would die as well.
"Perseus you failed her. You failed camp. My monsters took down most of your camp, which exactly means that you demigods can't fight against my monsters heading for Olympus. I already took care of Camp Jupiter. They won't be answering you anymore. Or helping Olympus. Those powerful Romans..." Evan snickered.
"No matter the cause I will always protect Olympus.." I yelled at him.
"Ah, but Perseus you said you would always protect camp. Did that work well?" Evan laughed. But he was right.
I told myself I would always protect camp. But that didn't go so well. Annabeth is injured, along with most of the campers. We were in no shape to go save Olympus. I felt so useless. I felt like I was a failure. I shouldn't be here. I'll just disappoint them. It's better if I was just gone. It's better if I'm dead. I was supposed to help and protect them. But I didn't.
George came took out his dagger and began cutting Annabeth's arm. She screamed in pain. I cried louder.
"Leaver her alone!!! PLEASE! Take me instead! Let me suffer not Annabeth!!" I cried, tears falling. I couldn't stop crying. I saw Annabeth fall to the floor, crying in pain as Evan stabbed her on her back.
"NOOO!!" I cried. I tried pulling away from my chains but I couldn't. Annabeth needs me. This is my fault. I should have been there for her. I'm such an idiot. I'm not a hero. I'm the person who let camp get attacked. They deserve better. I continued to cry, as I saw my beautiful Annabeth getting hurt. I screamed, for only until I lost my voice. I opened my mouth for another scream, but nothing came out. I cried more and more until my eyes couldn't let out water no more. I wanted to die. That's all I ask. George came towards me and stabbed me in the heart. That's when I jolted awake.
I continued to scream and tears rolled down my cheeks. I yelled "ITS MY FAULT" over and over again. Then I felt someone hugging me, and telling me everything is ok. I looked down and saw Annabeth with me. I stopped screaming and crying and saw how desperate Annabeth was to calm me. She looked up, with bloodshot eyes and bags under her eyes.
"A-A-nnabeth??" I stuttered.
"Percy I'm so sorry!" She pulled me into another hug.
"Annabeth I love you so much. I missed you dearly." I cried. She hugged me tighter while I cried into her shoulder. Then she looked at me, with her amazing stormy grey eyes. What she did next amazed me. She slapped me. Hard. I whimpered.
"PERCY JACKSON! Don't leave me every again!" Annabeth had tears forming in her eyes while I hugged her dearly.
"I will never leave you. I love you and nothing is going to change that." I pulled her away and connected my lips to hers. We kissed with so much passion and how dearly we missed each other. When Annabeth pulled away, I almost whimpered.
"Are you hurt? What did they do to you? I'm so sorry we banned you. I thought you would be like Luke a-nd and.." I cut her off with another kiss.
She kissed back and we moved in sync. We fought with hunger, wanted to be with each other for eternity. But demigod's wishes never come true. Will Solace, came running into the room.
"Percy! We healed you but it's best if you o to the water. That's where it can deal all your bad cuts and deep gashes. When you're done, Chiron would like to speak with you..." Will said nervously.
"I'll be right there.." I saw Will leave the room.
"I'm coming with you." Annabeth kissed my cheek.
"Of course you will." I grabbed her hand and got us off the bed. I saw her wince. I'm such an idiot. I forgot about her chest.
"What happened? Are you ok? Who hurt you?!?" I questioned as I examined the bandages.
"I'm fine seaweed brain. The real question is if you are ok! You have a scar on your face and have multiple cuts everywhere! Cmon we have to get to the beach." Annabeth dragged me out of the room. I smiled at the reminder that I was seaweed brain. We walked hand in hand to the beach together. I dipped myself into the water while waves hit me. Then a golden light, came rushing out of the water. It was my dear old Pops. Looking terrible. He had huge bags under his eyes. His eyes were really red. His dark black hair was all crazy going in different directions. What worries me most is that he isn't wearing his shorts and Hawaiian shirt. He was wearing a dark blue shirt that says 'Life is Terrible'. Couldn't disagree on that. Then he was wearing black sweat pants. He came out of the water holding his dale black trident. What happened? I quickly got out of the water while I saw a glimpse of hope in his eyes.
"Percy? Is that you! My dear old boy! I felt your presence inside the water! I missed you so much! I don't want you hurt." Poseidon came running towards me engulfing me in a tight bear hug.
"Nice to see you too Father." I hugged him back. Then his usual form came back. His sea green eyes, his shorts with a Hawaiian shirt, his trident turned back to bright blue.
"Um, sorry to ruin the reunion but Chiron needs Percy.." Annabeth cleared her throat.
"Oh yes..I'm sorry.." Poseidon let go.
"I'll see you later father." I gave him a quick hug and ran off with Annabeth.
"Your father cares so much about you. I barely see any god loving their demigod children." Annabeth laughed.
"Yep. I love my father." I laughed with her. We walked hand in hand to the Big House. Unfortunately, great moments come to an end. When we reached our destination, we saw Chiron pacing back and forth with worry in his brown eyes. When he saw us he looked nervous.
"Percy my boy, we must talk immediately." Chiron trotted into the Big House.
Well, here goes nothing.
