Annabeth's POV

"Percy's dying." As she says those words, my heart shatters. Gods no. I run off towards infirmary, Thalia not far behind me. I slam the door open.

"WHERE'S PERCY" I scream. A camper points to a room, and I burst in. Inside are a small bed, two men, and a whole lot of machines, from life support to a TV. In the bed lies Percy, his black hair bold against the white sheets. Apollo is fussing over one of his devices, while Poseidon sits next to Percy's bed. "P...Percy..." I whisper, kneeling next to him. I grasp his hand in mine and let the tears fall. I hardly notice, or care that Thalia is next to me and that the two gods have left the room.

"It's alright Annabeth... It'll be fine..." Thalia's voice cracks and she breaks down, sobbing into her hands. I look at Percy through my tears. His face, beautiful as ever, and the faint smile on his lips. My Seaweed Brain.

"Percy?" I plead. "Please wake up." And, miracle of miracles, he does.

"Wise Girl." He croaks, his voice weak.

"Y-yeah?" I hold his hand tighter.

"I guess this is it." I shake my head wildly.

"No Percy, it's not! We were going to grow up... College in New Rome... Have kids, remember? You promised..." I start to shake, I'm trying so hard not to cry.

"I'm sorry Annabeth..." Percy says softly, his green eyes shining with tears. Wait, why is he crying?

"What's wrong?"

"I don't want to see you like this, Wise Girl." He tells me. "Just, move on, okay?" Just then, the door swings open, and Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank and Leo come in. Okay then.

"Percy..." Jason says.

"Oh no..." I hear Hazel and Piper sobbing, and the quiet cries of the rest of the seven.

"Guys" Everyone stops at Percy's voice. "I want you all to listen." I look at him, along with everyone else. "Jason... I want you to keep leading, but you don't always have to keep it together for everyone else. Piper, well... you're like Silena. Just keep being yourself, I guess. Thalia and Hazel," They look up, "You two are like sisters to me. Keep on being awesome, okay?" They both nod, smiling sadly. "Frank, you are an amazing person, and I'm proud to be related to you." Frank nods, tears staining his cheeks. "Leo..." Percy chuckles weakly. "Never stop being happy, and take care of Calypso, okay?" Leo gives him a thumbs up, though even he's crying. Percy turns to me. "And Annabeth... Wise Girl..."

"Percy I love you don't leave me... please..." I beg. He sighs sadly.

"I love you Annabeth. You are everything to me, and I mean everything. I'll... I'll wait for you, okay? Just remember that." He says, squeezing my hand gently. I sob.

"Percy don't g-go! What about your m-mom and Paul and your dad? W-what about me?" I cry hysterically.

"Tell... tell them I'm sorry. Do that for me, okay? Please?" I nod and pull Percy close to me.

"I love you Seaweed Brain. I love you!" I whisper.

"I love you Wise Girl..." His eyes fix on my face, and I know what my last words to him will be. The first ones.

"You drool when you sleep." And with that, Percy goes limp in my arms, a smile on his face.
