Two worlds meet (Kanes and PJ)

Pain and Proposal (Percy)

Before we begin this chapter, I would like to shout out to Butter_Lovelove, who voted on my chappies. You are the first person to ever give me votes- I wouldn't have continued if not.

Now, on with da story!

It felt like hours. I couldn't fall unconscious, and the pain was just too great. I lost count at about two hundred lashes. Annabeth and Sadie were crying, if I'm correct. I wish I could just endure the pain and they can all leave. This is all my fault. If I had pulled them up, none of this would have happened. Gah! Gah! My back was being torn, I could feel it. Blood pooled at my feet, making me feel like when me and Annabeth had gone on a roller coaster and I had been sick while being zapped by Zeus. Except that didn't hurt, just made me wanna puke. This really hurt. I wondered absentmindedly if this is what Kronos felt like when he was being cut into bite sized pieces. Hmmm.... I wonder if any monsters could eat Kronos jerky. Would it make them immortal, or just annoying like him?.... Stupid ADHD!

The whip seemed to increase in speed and strength as it hit me , over and over. The poison from the chimera teeth were making me unable to control my self at all.

Suddenly, the whipping stopped. Then, a huge blow that just about knocked five ribs out sank into my back, and I screamed a blood-curdling scream. It hurt too, too much. The glass and the teeth sank deep within my back this time. Then, all of sudden, I was dropped, with my back hitting the floor. As I made impact, it felt like a thousand knives stabbing me at once. I screamed, and screamed, then quietened it to a groan of agony. Annabeth jumped over, and her tears fell over me. I wondered how bad I looked. "Can you hear me, Seaweed brain? Come on! Your not going to d-die now, not while we didn't get married!" Shock went through my body. Annabeth wanted this? Of course I wanted to propose to her, but this is just, just awesome! Hopefully her mother isn't going to blast me to pieces. "I, uh, can hear you." I managed weakly. Annabeth's hand flew to her mouth:" did you hear what I said? About... About... You know." "Yeah, I heard that." I grinned up at her, trying to blink the blood out of my eyes," in fact...." Rummaging through my pocket,  I felt a small box. It was still coated in velvet. But my hand can't lift upward. "Carter, can you help me here?" I asked, just remembering that he and Sadie were there. Carter looked both embarrassed by our words and somewhat awed, probably because I could still speak. But if not for Polybetes' spell, I would have fallen unconscious a million years ago. Every breath I took made my ribs ache and groan in pain. The movement in my arms had felt like someone was electrocuting and stabbing it at the same time. Carter felt around in my pocket, and took out a small box, wrapped in velvet. I held it gingerly:" Annabeth Chase, you are the love of my life. I promise to love you every second, and to always be there for you, even in death. I swear this on the River Styx. Will you marry me?" Annabeth started crying, and she hugged me, forgetting for a moment that I had multiple broken ribs. I howled in pain. Sadie gently peeled Annabeth, who was apologizing over and over, off of me. I pressed the box into her hands. Inside it, there rested a beautiful ring. The band was made of celestial bronze and imperial gold, but also had specks of mortal silver in it. I had asked Hephaestus to set a blue sapphire into it, with a hint of gray touching the edges. Annabeth gasped. "Well?" I asked, trying to smirk, but probably grimacing." Well what,Seaweed Beain?" She asked. "Well, you didn't give me an answer." But just as the words left my mouth, she kissed me. A deep kiss. My brain was melting and a tingle ran though my body.

Sadie broke the silence. "Guys, we hate to interrupt, but you really should get a room." I laughed, and everybody joined in. Then Polybetes spell stopped, and I could only see black.
