Blood Of Olympus

Chapter 2 - Annabeth

Annabeth was terrified. She didn't want to die she was only seventeen. She wanted to spend her life with Percy go to New Rome University with him and grow old together. But the truth was if she didn't sacrifice herself the entire world would be destroyed. Already so many demigod friends had died and now one of Annabeth's closest friends were gone. Hopefully, Piper had got to Elysium. She hated the plan as much as her friends did. Percy approached her and gave her a hug. Annabeth wished she could have hugged him forever. Her friends were trying to push through the crowds of monsters, but they were all being pushed back by all of the monsters. Hazel and Frank were trying to kill a giant so that Leo could get through to Gaia. But it wasn't working. Annabeth only had a few hours before Gaia fully rose and she died. All she wanted to do was return to Camp Half-Blood with all her friends and sit behind the fire on a bench singing camp songs with her cabin-mates. Annabeth decided to go and help Hazel and Frank even though she knew it was useless. She didn't want any more of her friends to die. Annabeth distracted the giant so that Frank could get behind it and stab in the back. The giant disintegrated but there was no time for celebration. Annabeth gathered all of her six friends and pulled them into the cavern. Percy, Hazel, Frank, and Jason fell asleep while Leo sat there fidgeting with a piece of scrap metal. Soon Annabeth felt weary and started to drift off. Unfortunately, her last dream wasn't a good one. She dreamt of a laistrygonian giant grabbing Percy and throwing him around like he was a toy. She was woken by Percy shaking her awake. She gasped as he looked over her

"Annabeth" said Percy sadly "it's time"

They walked out of the cavern, all six of them side by side with Percy and Annabeth in the middle holding hands. They all walked to the crack in the ground which was guarded by giants and telekhines.

"Be prepared for battle." Whispered Annabeth

The six half-bloods charged at the monsters. Jason and Percy slashed through the laistrygonians while Leo Hazel Frank and Annabeth killed the telekhines. Leo pulled Greek fire vial's out of his tool bag and threw them into the battle he handed out the Greek fire to everyone and they all threw it at the enemy. Annabeth was drenched in sweat and blood. Her hair was sticking to her face as she killed the last monster who posed as a threat. All her friends ran over to her and stood there. Annabeth took turns hugging them. She hugged them for as long as she could until she finally got to Percy. She hugged him and pulled him in for a kiss.

"I love you, seaweed brain" she whispered in his ear

"I love you too, wise girl" he replied quietly

Annabeth stepped towards the pit. She waited for a moment and had one last look at her friends all lined up with tears in their eyes.

"Annabeth wait" yelled Percy frantically "there has to be another way"

"I'm sorry Percy. This is the only way" she said

Annabeth jumped over the side of the pit. The last thing she heard was Percy screaming.
