A/N: Thanks for all of your reviews! I love getting them! I think the story is coming to a close soon, like right now… I am also working on my other story-Secret Agent man so please feel free to check that out. I think it is starting to get good : )
Enjoy and have a wonderful day!
Annabeth's POV:
Almost immediately the effects took place.
"Percy please wake up," I swallowed. He seemed to be at peace until he moved his head towards my voice. I felt my chest rise with hope and he coughed. The small contraction of his lungs sent him into a fury. He threw his head back with a quick, sharp motion and coughed again, only to get himself agitated again.
I ran to the doorway and called for Chiron. He came running back the way he came and entered the door.
"What is it?"
"It's Percy, he… I don't know."
The centaur bowed his head to Percy who was breathing very heavily. He laid a hand on his rapid chest and felt his heartbeat through his wrist.
"Is he ok?" I asked.
"He seems perfectly fine." Chiron said with a happy grin spread on his face. "It will just take him some time, that is all. I need to tend to another camper. Make sure he stays calm." And with that, Chiron slipped out of the room.
I turned my attention back to Percy. He was turning his head side to side and shifting uncomfortably in his bed. He looked so pale and sweat was beading on his forehead from the stress.
A groan escaped his curved lips and he exhaled a really big breath.
"Can I see those pretty green eyes?" I coaxed him. A shaky breath in and he returned his head to the middle. Laying down he was now looking at the ceiling. "Try, Seaweed Brain. Open your eyes."
Slowly and with an unsure gesture, I saw a glimpse of green in his little slits but then he quickly closed his eyelids again.
"Percy, you were so close." I grabbed his hand. "Is it the lights?" I asked. I know he is to weak to answer but I tried to do everything I could. I stood up and flicked the switch. The room grew dark and the only light was the small window embedded into the door. It cast a ghostly glow gazing over a small section of the room.
My eyes adjusted to the light and Percy was still motionless.
"Try again." I urged. I hoped he could hear me. He did, and opened his eyes again. I felt tears well at the side of my face and I grabbed his face and pushed back some black hair. His eyelids were pointed in my direction. Slowly they peeled away and revealed a pair of sea green eyes. I gasped in happiness but saw the pain in them.
"Percy-" I choked and smiled. He grinned a bit too but then his face contorted a bit in pain but then it went back after a few seconds. "It is your Achilles spot?" I asked. He gasped a bit trying to say something and then he clenched his eyes shut and bit on his lower half of his lip until he was able to control his sore voice again.
I slunk my hand into his. He relaxed at the touch and rolled his head to me, eyes wide open.
"Don't try to talk." I warned him. Well, he was a complete Seaweed Brain and did anyways.
"Annabeth." He said. His voice was scratchy and it broke at the second syllable of my name. He coughed a bit and looked at me.
"I was so worried, Chiron said you might never wake up." I choked out with a little sob.
"Well, I'm here, right?" He said slowly, trying to even out his voice.
"You shouldn't have done that, you know. I would have been perfectly fine." I told him, remembering the searing glare of the hellhound's eyes as it began to pounce.
"You're a dog toy."
"I like my other nickname, Seaweed Brain."
"Wise Girl." He smiled. At that moment, Chiron came back in the room.
"How are you feeling Percy?" He asked. Percy lifted his fingers enough to make a thumbs up. "Good, I'm glad. Nothing hurts?" Chiron asked. They met eyes and Chiron tapped Percy's side. As soon as he made contact, Percy flinched away with a quick gasp for air through teeth.
"That's what I thought." Chiron said, proving Percy as a liar.
"Awesome." Percy said.
"You will probably be confined here until you are strong enough to get out of bed."
Percy rolled his eyes and looked at me.
"You are doing what he tells you." I said stubbornly.
"gods…"
And from there on, he got better. I always spent time with him and Tyson visited him while he was recovering. All of us were with him every step of the way. I just hoped he didn't do anything stupid like that again.
He continued to be my strong, Seaweed Brain.
