The New Demigods

Filler Chapter

Hey guys and girls, I have a bit of writer's block at the moment so here is a filler chapter. Enjoy...

Annabeth POV

Holy Hades! Did-did he just propose to me? Deep breathes Annabeth. Deep breathes. I can't breathe. Breath Annabeth!

Percy POV

While I am waiting for an answer I realise that she having a panic attack of some sort. Her breathing is shallower than normal and she looks paler than Nico. I start to panic and take her to the surface. When she starts coughing up water, to say that I was shocked would be the understatement of the century. Are my air bubbles losing their power? Did I nearly-kill Annabeth?! When she is breathing normally, she says "yes" but I can't focus on anything other than the fact that I nearly killed my girlfriend...wait she is my fiancee now. 

Annabeth POV

Percy and I are in his cabin because even though the general rules are that we are not allowed to be in the same cabin the rules have changed for us now. Since nobody wants to be woken up by mine or Percy's screams in the middle of the night, Chiron allows us to sleep in the same cabin now. Which is Cabin 3 because Percy usually sleeps alone unless Tyson is here. I can tell exactly when Percy loses concentration and I stop talking, we sit in silence for a bit. After a while I can't take anymore, I am about to ask what is wrong but am interrupted by Percy. I look at him and see a silent tear running down his cheek. When I go to comfort him he pushes me away and moves to the other end of his bed with his back to me. Immediately, I am on edge, shocked, worried and, to be honest with you, a little bit hurt all at the same time. All the stress of the past few weeks add up and I don't know when I start sobbing into Percy's pillow, but the next thing I remember is Percy's arms around me, pulling me into him, and him whispering that "everything is ok" to me. I don't understand him today. That mood swing was faster than mine and that is saying something considering that I am a nineteen-year-old female. "Hey, why are you crying?". The only thing I can hear at the minute is my hiccups, so I am surprised, to say the least when I hear Percy ask me that. I only just hear myself say "I could ask you the same question, Perseus." To be honest with you (again) I am shocked by my tone of voice as I don't usually speak to Percy like that and he has never raised his voice at me. I never thought that either of us would ever raise our voices at each other but here we are. The only reply I get is my old nickname that nobody is allowed to call me. Actually, not even nobody is allowed to call me "Annie". The only person who can call me that and not walk away with a black eye is Percy, and even then he might start backing away because I have given him my infamous glare. Ok I kinda, definitely, deserved that. Even if I didn't see it coming. The only thing that shocks me is hurt which is evident in the son of Poseidon's voice. "Well?" is the question that takes me out of my thoughts. "I was crying because you hurt me when you moved to the opposite end of the bed and turned your back to me." I nearly shouted at him. His reply breaks my heart "Annabeth...I was doing it to protect you. When-when...When you started coughing up water I was surprised because you shouldn't have been. My air bubbles aren't doing their job properly and I can't control my powers. I am losing control over them again. Annabeth, I nearly killed you."

Part two will be coming out soon... probably as another filler chapter in the near future. Yes, I tried to do a Rick Riordon cliffhanger. Yes, I know it probably didn't work. Thank you to everyone who has read my books and has shared them with other people for them to read. It means the world to me that people are reading my books. Stay safe and see you in the next chapter(Which will probably be at the weekend or maybe Monday night)
