Percy Jackson's Last Breath

∆ CHAPTER 2 ∆

~Annabeth's POV~

No. No no no no no no no no no no.
NO!

Still in Nico's grip, I stood, shocked to the bone.

This can't be happening.
My heart pounded more and more as I replaid what just happened, in my head, over and over again.

I turned to look at Nico and his face was covered by his black hair.

I forced myself away from him and fell to the ground. I scootched away from him feeling betrayed and hurt.

"Ni- Nico? What just happened? Did Percy really just... Did you just..?"
I stammered.

Nico looked up but did not meet my eyes. As I read his face, I saw a look of pure disappointment and sadness.

Tears filled my eyes realizing that Nico wasn't answering me.

I kept backing away from him because of his betrayal until my back touched the doors of death. I sobbed even more because they were closed.

Because Percy risked his life to.

I tried to stand up but failed miserably.

This can't be happening. I thought.
No, Percy's still alive. He has to. I just... I just got to open the doors for him to come back and we can close them together.
But I knew better than that. I know that someone has to close the doors from the inside as well as the outside.

"I - I'm so so-sorry Annabeth."
Nico said between sobs.

I stopped crying and looked into his eyes. I know he feels horrible. I can see it in his eyes. I know that he had no choice. But its his fault.
HIS FAULT I DONT HAVE HIM ANYMORE.

I gave him a look of distaste and cried.
I cried and cried for what felt like hours until I passed out.
