The Demigods

Love in the Pit

"I love you," were the words she had spoken as they fell to their death.

With the wind howling in his ears as he fell, he wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not. She gripped him tighter as she said it though, the way she brought her lips to his ear, then kissed his cheek.

She had said it.

Sure, he knew that she loved him, but she had never said it before.

Percy watched her sleep, the slight rise of her chest with each labored breath.

He didn't know how long they'd been in Tartarus, but it felt like years had gone by.

Every minute that passed made the dreams he had for their future grow dimmer.

Bob sat away from the couple, playing with the bristles on his broom.

Percy tried to focus his mind on something else, on anything else than the fact she had said I love you.

Had it been up on earth, he would have shouted with joy at her proclamation. Down here though, he didn't know what to do.

In Tartarus, there was no such thing as love, it was a foreign concept. All that surrounded them was pain and suffering, but in the midst of all of that, she had brought a little love into this wasteland. He didn't know what to do with it though.

She had given him the most precious gift, but he didn't know how to protect it.

The feels!!!!

How'd you like it???
