Percabeth Fillers

Chapter 1

So yes...I'm back online again after my last update on The New Demigods. Sorry about my offline status recently but I have been busy. Unless I specifically say that these are connected, they are one-shots. Please let me know if you have any requests, and I will try to include them. Thanks for deciding to read this and I hope you enjoy it.

Annabeth POV

Holy Hades. Percy just proposed to me! I can't breathe. Breathe Annabeth, breathe. I can't get enough oxygen into my lungs. Is this a panic attack?

Percy POV

I am waiting for an answer when I realise that she must be experiencing a panic attack. Why did I bring her down here underwater when I know that she is claustrophobic? Why am I so stupid? When I look over at her she is paler than Nico and her shallow breathing is worrying me. Well, that's my previous plan of waiting it out under here going out the window. I take her up to the surface and lay her flat on her back. I wait for a while and just as I was about to lift her up and take her to the infirmary, she sits up and starts coughing out water. I absentmindedly rub her back. She shouldn't have been taking in water whilst underwater because we were in one of my air bubbles. My mind goes back in time to about two weeks ago when I tried to take Annabeth out on a date but we ended up getting soaked because my bubble lost its power and water started to fill it up. I got worried about taking her into one again until tonight. I did go and speak to Chiron about it and he said it was because I had used a lot of my power last year in the War but I don't know if it's just that. I only took her in it tonight because I was sure that I had more control over my powers again.

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.
