Annabeth's POV:

My toes curled in the warm, dry sand as I leaned into Percy's side. The sun was setting, turning the sky into a beautiful mix of yellow, red, and orange.

We went to out to eat and ended the perfect date by going to the beach at Camp Half Blood. Percy kept fidgeting with his shirt, his eyes flickering to everything but me, his mind obviously preoccupied.

"What are you thinking about Seaweed Brain?" I questioned. This behavior was very abnormal, he didn't even act like this when we faced Kronos.

"You and me. We've been through so much together, and we are still stronger than ever. I can't picture my life with anyone else but you," his knee sunk to the sand and his eyes bore into mine as his hand pulled out an object from his pocket.

"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" the 'object' was a ring that I had failed to notice until he mentioned marriage. My mind screamed the answer but the words couldn't reach my lips, it was so overwhelming that I had to pause to catch my breath.

Percy obviously took that as rejection and started apologizing mumbling things like "I should've known" and "I'm sorry it's too soon".

"Yes! Yes, of course I'll marry you!" I exclaimed. I held his shoulders down as I said this, since he was trying to get up off his knee.

"Really? Are you sure?" he questioned. That beautiful lop-sided smile that I adored so much, started to grace his lips as his eyes shone with happiness.

"I'm sure! I want nothing more than to be your wife." his lips fell onto mine in a quick, chaste kiss and he then proceeded to grab my hand and put the ring on it.

"I called your dad and he gave us his blessing, and I also went to Mt. Olympus to talk with your mom. After a lot of...socializing, she gave in and decided to push her rivalry, with my dad, aside so that we could be together" he grinned.

I sighed with relief, I'd be with Percy even if she didn't approve; but it's nice to know that she loves me enough to let me be happy.

"Thank you, Percy. I love you so much," I whispered. My grey eyes traveled from his sea-green ones, down to his luscious lips.

He was about to lean in when a cry of pain escaped his perfect lips. I frantically looked around trying to find what could cause an invulnerable demigod to be in so much agony.

My blood iced over and my breathing came out in short gasps as my eyes landed on an arrow protruding out of his back. Directly hitting his Achilles Spot.

I glanced around us and found a dead monster lying in the grass a couple of yards away. It seems as though someone went into the forest and attracted the beast out here, and it mistakenly took Percy as its victim.

"Percy? Percy! Stay with me!" I screamed at him, shaking his shoulder to force his eyes awake. Blood slid from the corner of his mouth, and for the first time he actually looked pale.

"T-tell An-Annabeth th-hat I-I l-love h-her." he choked out as his beautiful sea-green eyes disappeared behind his eyelids.

"Percy? Percy? I love you! Please, you can't leave me. Percy!" I sobbed. I put my hands on his chest and started pumping furiously, struggling to revive his non-beating heart. I kept yelling for him to stay with me as I switched from pumping to trying to breathe air into his lifeless body.

My lips crashed onto his time and time again, my hands still pushing on his chest. The tears continued to cascade down my face and blur my vision, making it hard to see his face.

"He's gone, Annabeth." Chiron whispered. His hand caressed my shoulder, and when I glanced up into his eyes I found nothing but pain and sadness.

"No he's not! He can't be! Percy! Come back to me!" I screamed as my hands finally gave up and I hugged his body closer to mine.

The crowd that had formed around us evaporated on Chiron's command to give me some alone time with Percy.

"We were supposed to get married, Percy. Have a boy that had your hair and eyes, and a girl with my hair. She would have your eyes as well, because they are the prettiest. You were supposed to be the one thing permanent in my life, but now you're gone," I choked on the last sentence.

I kept brushing his hair away from his face, a small part of my mind telling me that it was useless since his eyes wouldn't re-open.

It was too much to handle, we had literally just gotten engaged! My hand grabbed his, interlocking my fingers with his cold, lifeless ones.

The tears kept falling from my eyes which made my head pound heavily, I could hardly concentrate on his beautiful face. And eventually the pain became too much and I blacked out, lying side by side with my dead fiance'.

My goodness, I cried while I was writing that. I've been thinking about writing this story for a while and I'm so glad that I have the time to write it. Let me know what you think of it! The more reviews, the faster the updates!
