The world was ending. And do you know what the worst thing was? I was all alone.
Yes, me Percy Jackson, Hero of Olympus was stuck all alone in this chamber facing an army of venti with no-one to help me. So I did the stupid thing. I charged.
Then the scene changed. I was battling Gaia (AN:Or Gaea there are two ways of spelling it) and Annabeth was right by my side. She was beautiful in combat - her grey eyes shone determindley and her blonde hair curled out of its ponytail. The tabled turned. A ghostly image of Luke Castellan shimmered into existence infront of Annabeth.
She stopped in her tracks and stared in wonder. Luke looked perfectly fine, except he was supposed to be dead. 'Annabeth,' Luke asked,'Do you love me?' Annabeth hesited before stuttering out an answer that broke my heart. 'Uhm...no. Wait yeah...I do.' My knees buckled under me and I fell to the ground. Luke held out his hand to my Wise Girl and she took it. Suddenly he was Kronos again, with a cruel light in his eyes and a sythe in hand.
Gaia took this opportunity to strike and a huge abyss opened up beneath me. I fell, spiralling in the pit...
I woke up with a start. I was breathing heavily, drenched with sweat and Annabeth was sat up next to me, her eyes full of concern. I pulled her on top of me and kissed her hard.
'Sorry, you probably weren't expecting that.' I told her. 'Please though, promise me this - you mean it when you say you love me don't you?' It took her less than a second to answer. 'Of course I love you Seaweed Brain, I swear on the Styx - anymore stupid questions?'
