Let The Games Begin (Percy Jackson/ Hunger Games Fanfic)

Chapter #22 ~Percy~

I nudge Annabeth slightly.
"Are you sure your okay?" I ask quietly
She grabs my hand. "Honestly?"
I nod.
"Percy. We're in the hunger games. I mean, only one comes out. Not two. One. Worst of all, we've gotten allies.
What do we do when it's just us four left?"
I look at Katniss and Max walking ahead of us.
"I don't know..."
A loud boom goes off.
Then another.
Then another.
Three.
Three more people dead.
Katniss and Max spun around to see if we were still there.
Annabeth was holding on to my arm. Max's face turned less pale when he saw we were still alive.
Katniss relaxed a bit.

We finally were able to set up camp.
"I can take first watch." Katniss volunteered.
None of us argued.
"We'll wake us up if you hear anything then." Annabeth says.
Katniss nods and sits down leaning against a tree across from me.
Annabeth lays next to me.
Max lays in a little ball across on my right.
I reach for Annabeth's hand and our fingers enlace.
I kiss her temple, "don't have any demigod dreams tonight wise girl."
I can almost fell her grinning.
"Okay seaweed brain."
My eyes start to feel heavy and I drift off to sleep.

It's probably impossible for demigods not to have weird dreams.

My vision is getting fuzzy, Annabeth is running to my side tears falling down her cheeks.
"Percy!" Her voice echoes in my head.
She's now sobbing.
Then an explosion goes off.
The sky is falling...?
Then again.
A giant warship comes out from the whole in the shy.
A fire breathing dragon head as the figurehead.
A giant eagle seems to be flying towards us.
I black out.

I wake up with beads of sweat running down my face. Katniss is staring at me wide eyed.
"Percy, are you okay?" She asks.
It's still dark out.
I look around.
Max is still in a ball.
Annabeth is sleeping peacefully next to me.
"Yeah, j-just a nightmare." I stammer.
"You get those a lot in here."
"Please it's even worse when your a demigod."
Katniss yawns.
"I'll take watch now, you can get some rest." I say and put myself in a comfortable position.
Katniss seems hesitant but she lays down and closes her eyes.
•••••
It was starting to become bright outside.
I wasn't even tired.
Max starts to stir and then wakes up.
He rubs sleep from his eyes.
"Did Katniss get tired and wake you up?" He asks.
I shake my head. "Nope."
Max nods his head slowly.
He's staring at something.
I follow his gaze and find that it lands on the sleeping Annabeth next to me.
I raise an eyebrow at him.
I swear on the River Styx if he even tries to make a move on her his face will get the honour to meet my fist. And then my sword.
Max notices that I'm giving him the evil eye and decides to change the subject.
"So, what is your world like?" He asks.
"Monsters, gods, blue food, monsters, Titans, monsters and did I mention monsters?"
He almost winces.
"Sound rough."
"You don't know the half of it."
We continue to have small talk like this until it starts to get more light out.
Annabeth walks up with a jolt.
She looks like she saw a ghost.
She then looks at the terrified Max and myself and becomes less tense.
"Nightmares?" I ask.
She shrugs and stands up to stretch.
"Why didn't anyone walk me to take watch?" She asks re doing her ponytail that's almost fallen out.
Max and I both shrug.
Katniss also slowly wakes up after that, and we pack up camp.

"Anyone hungry?" Katniss asks.
"Starving."
"Hungry."
"I miss blue good."
We all reply at once.
"Um okay. Do you guys wanna split up? We can hunt and collect more shrubs, I think we ate all of ours already."
Annabeth nods, "I'll go with Percy again." She says.
"No. How do we know you guys aren't gonna kill us. I say we spilt up by districts." Max says.
I hesitate.
"Fine." Annabeth says.
I glance at her.
"Okay Percy. You better be good at hunting." Katniss says strapping her bow.
Annabeth pulls me into a hug and kisses my cheek lightly.
"Don't die." She says quietly.

"Shhhh." Katniss shushes me.
"I know how to hunt." I say.
She aims her bow.
A canon goes off.
Then another.
Our animal runs off.
Stress swells up in my stomach and I start running through the woods calling after Annabeth.
