Agent 306 - A Percabeth Story

Pain

"Percy!" Annabeth shrieked, as Percy continued to walk into Annabeth's room. "It's freaking 2:00 in the morning,"

"I know," he said, shrugging. "I kind of had a nightmare,"

"Is Percy Jackson scared?" Annabeth teased, smirking.

"N-no," he stuttered, pouting. "I uh, was um, m-making s-sure y-you were o-okay,"

"Oh, I see," she said, a smirk still playing on her lips. "And why wouldn't I be okay?"

"Uh, b-because i-it's s-scary o-outside," he said. "N-not for m-me, though,"

"Oh, uh, BOO!"Annabeth yelled.

Percy fell backwards startled and terrified.

"ANNABETH!" he whisper-yelled.

"Not scared, huh," she said, laughing.

"Whatever," he huffed. "Can I-"

He was cut of by the sound of gunshots downstairs. Annabeth met Percy's gaze and both of them immediately sped out of the room.

Annabeth ran as fast as she could down the stairs and to her horror she saw Nico laying in a pool of blood. Yesterday, Will, Nico, Piper, Jason, Frank and Hazel had come over and stayed for the night. Will was sitting next to him with tears falling from his eyes. Rage grew inside of her and turned to see who had done this. It was Octavian. His blonde hair covered his icy blue eyes as he held a gun in his hand.

Annabeth heard Percy gasp and the next thing she knew she was tackling Octavian. she twisted the gun out of his hand and pushed it away with her foot. She threw punches at his face not caring about anything other than destroying Octavian.

"Annabeth, stop!" Percy yelled, prying her of of the demon.

She struggled at first but relaxed into Percy's arms. Percy grabbed his phone, calling the ambulance. Will got up wiping tears from his eyes.

"Why him?" he asked, standing next Octavian. "ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

"Because he got in my way," he said.

"Of what?" Will asked.

"Of you," he said, coldly. "He took you away from me,"

Will grabbed his collar and pulled him up, pushing him against the wall.

"Stay away from me and Nico," Will said.

He gutted Octavian with his knee then walked back towards Nico.

"Don't leave me," Will pleaded, kissing Nico.

Will paced around in the waiting room while Hazel silently sobbed on Frank's shoulder.

"Nico is going to be okay," Percy comforted, placing an arm on Will's shoulder.

Will shrugged Percy's arm off his shoulder and smiled weakly at him.

"He has to be okay," he murmured.

After a few hours of waiting the doctor came out of the ICU. Will immediately rushed towards the doctor. Annabeth couldn't make out exactly what they were talking about but inbetween their conversation, Annabeth noticed a single tear fall out of Will's eye. He was quick to wipe it away but Annabeth saw it. Her heart sank at the thought of her friend dying. She should've been there. Will walked towards them his eyes brimming with tears.

"H-he is in a c-coma," he said, his voice cracked at the end. He fell to his knees at put his head in his hands and sobbed silently. Hazel walked towards Will and wrapped her arms around him sobbing into his shoulder. Annabeth felt tears clouding her vision before she silently started crying, too.

"No, Nico will be fine. He has to be fine," Percy repeated, reassuring everyone. But he was mainly trying to reassure himself.

"The doctor said he might not wake up, again," Will stammered, tears falling from his eyes.

"Where's Octavian?" Percy growled.

"Police custody," Frank replied, sniffling.

"That piece of sh-" Percy started.

"Sorry to interrupt but two if you can visit the patient," a nurse, said interrupting Percy's melt down.

Will got up and pulled Hazel to her feet hugging her.

"Come on," he said, pulling away.

Hazel nodded and followed Will inside.

***

Annabeth and Percy went home after a few hours while Will, Hazel and Frank stayed back.

"Percy?" Annabeth asked, quietly as they entered the house. "Why?"

"Octavian used to date Will then something happened. Will got together with Nico and ever since Octavian has been out to get revenge. But I never knew he would go that far," he said, tears brimming his eyes.

"He is going to be okay," Annabeth said, gently placing a hand on Percy.

"I hope so," he said, looking down.

"Now try and get some sleep," Annabeth said, kissing Percy's forehead.

Percy nodded and went upstairs. Annabeth quietly followed.

As soon as her face hit the pillow she was out like a light.

Hey guys!
Sorry for being so late. Also sorry for
the super small and depressing chapter. I haven't been feeling this story so I might take a short break and work on a solangelo fanfic. I will try to upload both frequently. But right now I have by exams so it will take a while.

Thanks a riptide for reading!
