<CHAPTER 8>

~Percy's POV~

White. That's literally all I can see. Not colors, like any normal person and also not black, like any blind person. Just white.

You would think that it's blinding, to only see white, but surprisingly, it's not. Heh. Blinding, get it? I can only see white so it's blinding but I'm not blind because blind people only see black but I see only white? Oh, never mind. I'm blabbering. I don't even think that what I said made sense. Oh well. Yup, I'm definitely going crazy.

You're probably wondering what I'm doing or where I am. Well guess what? So am I! Like seriously, I woke up from the sleep those crazy old hags put me in and all I could see was white. I have no idea where I am. I've just been laying here for a while thinking about stuff.

Like how in the world am I ever going to survive this curse. I'm honestly scared. I don't want to harm anyone, I don't want to go all crazy. I don't want to be able to talk to monsters. I don't even want to come in contact with monsters ever again! I don't want to control every single liquid. Controlling blood is the last thing I want to do. God, why oh why do the fates hate me so much?

My heart clenches when I think of Annabeth. If she were to see me right now, what would she think of me? Would she still love me? Or would she be so terrified of me, that she throws me aside like the trash I am. Probably the latter. I mean how can someone so beautiful and pure as Annabeth love,or even acknowledge, a horrible monster like me?

The one thing that I can't seem to get off my mind, no matter how hard I try to, is the immortality. Immortality. Immortality. IMOR- ok you get the point. I mean, I won't be able to die. No matter what, I can't die. Do you know how freaky and unbelievably terrifying just the thought of never being able to die is. People think that being immortal is all sunshine and rainbows, hell, I used to think so too. But it's not. Especially if you're stuck with a stupid curse that involves you going insane.  This is the worst possible life that anyone could ever have!

But then I think back to all the things I got to experience. Family, sacrifice, adventure, thrills, happiness, sorrow, pain, and so much more. Soooo much more. Yet the most important experience that I am so thankful for is love. Not only was it love between my friends, family, and I, but also the love between Annabeth and I. Wow, my love for Annabeth is just so undeniable and unbreakable.

Im in this awful situation because I sacrificed myself to save the people that I love. And it's so worth it. Yes, this sucks. It sucks A LOT. But, this means that everyone else is safe and secure. Which is all I could ever want.

My hands clench into fists as I try and find out where the hell I am. I unclench them and run them across the bare floor I'm currently laying on. The ground was cold and it stunk like death. Which is pretty reasonable considering I'm in Tartarus.

I hunch forward as I try and put myself in a sitting position. Surprisingly, my body no longer was in pain. My fingers touch my body as I look for any injury. Funny enough, I was no longer bruised or cut, at least none that I know of. I can't see if I do or not. I touch my head as I think of the excruciating pain I had felt not that long ago. At least, I think it wasn't long ago. How long was I out?

Man, so many questions, yet so little answers. My eyes scan around but still, I could only see white. Am I partially blind now? Huh, that was probably a dumb question. Will I only ever see white? Ughhhhh, this is stressing me out.

I put my hands on the cold floor again and I push myself up into standing position. I take a deep breathe and carefully put my foot out to take a step. Waving my arms in front of me so that I don't bump into anything, I cautiously take another step.

Well, this is gonna be one very long day, I thought. Scratch that, long life.

God, at this rate, I'm definitely going to lose my mind.
