"Apollo?" I stammered.
"Percy, I know how Annabeth is, and I know she would never do that." He sauntered gracefully over to my bedside.
"No, she wouldn't," I agreed
Apollo layed his hand softly on my forehead and instructed me to close my eyes.
"Okay, Percy. I want you to concentrate. Think about running. Running very fast. Then jumping. Jumping into the ocean, maybe? Now you're swimming. You're swimming all the way to Poseidon's palace. Now keep that sensation in your mind and you'll have all your agility back." I focused on that picture, straining to remember how it felt.
"Now, you're patting Mrs. O'Leary's head and you grab her chew toy. And, with all your might, you're hurtling it to the horizon. Now you're doing the same thing with your javelin. Picture it, Percy, and your strength will return.
"Now go over all your fighting moves; all your practice matches with your friends. All of your real battles. The Minotaur, the Hydra. Kronos. Are you picturing these things, Percy?"
"Yes." I nodded.
...Wait.
I NODDED! I NODDED, I NODDED, I NODDED!
I opened my eyes. Apollo was smiling down at me. "Go find Annabeth, Percy." And with that, he disappeared in a bright flash of light.
I hopped out of my bed with newfound energy and I ran, remembering the feeling of my memories. I ran faster than I've ever ran before.
I ran so much I wasn't watching where I was going..
Bam!
"Ahh, Percy!"
"Nico! Buddy! Hey! Oh, Life is great! It's so so great! Wow, I gotta find Annabeth! I'll talk to you later, okay?"
I ran off again, and I heard Nico say behind me, "What in Hades?"
Finally, I ran out of breath and I stopped, panting. "Wow." I muttered.
"Percy!"
I turned to see Annabeth sprinting to the arena where I had stopped to lean against one of it's shining white columns.
I jumped up. "Look, Annabeth! I can jump!"
She laughed. "Percy, you've been laying down way too long! Your ADHD is getting the better of you." She chuckled again.
I smiled. "Yeah, I know. But it just feels so good to move again. Wow, Apollo is a lifesaver!"
She frowned. "Wait. Apollo?"
I sat down on the grass feeling the shiny blades with my fingers. "Yeah, it's a long descriptive story, but what really matters now is that I can do something to help you!"
"What? No, you can't."
I sighed. "Annabeth, I'm completely fine now. You don't need to worry at all. Apollo's gonna help me clear your name. And I'm completely confident we can do this without a fight."
Annabeth shook her head and started to speak, but before she could say anything thunder rumbled in the now dark sky.
And Annabeth's frightened face lit up as a streak of lightning crackled close by.

A/N: Wow, guys! Life is good. Life is so (so) good.
A word of advice: Thank God for your haters because they're the ones who are jealous of you. They're the ones that, in the long run, will build you up. Will make you stronger. Because think of a world where everyone just loved you. Do you even realize how weak you would be? When you guys are all world famous, make sure you thank them because they brought you up to that sky-high level.
By the way, you are all beautiful. I don't even have to look at you to know that you are.
So, change of subject: It's QUESTION TIME!
Question (!): ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE LAST HARRY POTTER MOVIE? ARE YOU AS OBSESSED AS I AM?
Answer: SHO NUFF! Harry, please marry me.. 3 (hearttttt)
Love you guys! Really. I do.
Review, home boiiiis! :)
