Percy Jackson and The Ghost Girl

Chapter Six: The Third Day

The nightmare I had the day before was bad, the one I had then was worst. I felt the torture as if it was happening to me.

I woke up to the sound of talking.

Waiting for my senses to come back to me, took longer than normal. Well, normal for the last few days.

When my senses came back to me, I realized Annabeth's holding my hand and she's crying because my hand is getting wet.

I move my hand up to her cheeks and wipe her tears away, causing her to gasp. When I'm done, I drop my hand. All without opening my eyes.

"Percy..." Annabeth asked in a uncertain voice.

I try to open my eyes, but it's hard with the big headache I have.

After many tries, I open my eyes and smile at Annabeth. She looks concerned, probably because the smile was tired and it fell a second later.

"What time is it?" I asked, my voice coming out groggily.

Everyone looked around like they didn't know what to say.

"11:45 AM."

I groaned as my eyes closed.

"Percy?!?" Annabeth exclaimed, urgently.

I sighed. "I'm not insane." I said in a quiet voice.

I heard a wheelchair moving towards me. "Do you hear or see anyone?" Chiron asked.

"Hear. She told me the time." I replied.

"What did she say?" Piper asked.

"11:45 AM." I answered.

"If Percy was hallucinating, how would he know the time?" Hazel asked.

"She's right. I'm actually a ghost, thank you very much."

I sat up and looked to my left, away from everyone else in the room. "If you're a ghost, why can't Nico see or sense you?" I asked her, as she stood there with her arms crossed.

She sighed. "It's a long story. I'm not entitled to answer to you." Her tone guarded.

I frowned. "You still won't tell me your name, will you?"

"That is a rhetorical question. I can't answer that, because, well it's in the name. And, I don't trust the others in this room. Because of the situation, I'm trusting you. Don't betray my trust, Perseus." And, with that she was gone.

I blinked in surprise.

I sighed and turned back to the others.

"What happened?" Jason asked.

"She left." I answered, still surprised by her....

Well, her in general.

Although the time I spent with her on adventures, her showing me the world, and opening my eyes, I have to say I love her.

I love my Ghost Girl.
