odette's pov

-DEAD is what percy is, or at least that's what annabeth and grover kept telling me. but as i stare up at the arch in disbelief i couldn't help but cling to the hope that perhaps, against all odds, he is still alive. "we should get out of here," grover says glancing at annabeth and then me. i finally took my eyes off the arch and turned and saw three old ladies. one of them held up a ball of yarn, while another one held scissors. she smiled before cutting a piece of the yarn, i gasped. "ettie, come on. grover suggests we leave and i agree," annabeth tells me while she starts dragging me away. i pointed back at the old women,"did you see that?" annabeth just nods and continues walking.

    "we need to find percy," i say causing grover and annabeth to give me a pity look. "ettie... i know you don't wanna believe that he's dea-" annabeth starts before i cut her off. "no! no he's not dead. i- i just know it, so help me find him. or don't i don't care," i tell them before walking away. they gave each other a quick look before quickly following behind me. we walked around yelling his name, after i convinced them to yell too. tears welled up in my eyes as i kept yelling for him, maybe i was wrong. maybe he is gone. we all stopped yelling as we heard a faint splash, making me whip my head towards the sound. percy, my percy. he's okay.

    "odie?" percy questions as we look at each other. i stand and stare at him as i see he's soaked from the water. "odie i'm sorry about pushing you out the door and breaking my promise. god that's sounds even worse out loud," percy says. "perce!" i yell as i run up to him and hug him with tears streaming down my face. i smile as he wraps his arms around my lower back before i mumble into his neck, "i thought you left m- us. i thought you were gone perce.." i felt him kiss my head before he mumbled back, "i could never leave you." "i don't know if i should punch you or kiss you," i say. "uhm i think the second option sounds right," he replies while gazing down at me.

    we both started subconsciously leaning in but i quickly jumped back as i heard a cough coming from grover. "percy!" grover exclaims while grinning. "please don't be mad guys.." percy trails off. annabeth rolled her eyes, "it's fine we're just glad your okay and alive. but what even happened?" "short version, we need to go to santa monica." percy tells us. "who is santa monica?" i ask while tilting my head up at percy. percy held in a laugh before shaking his head and wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "so how could we get to santa monica?" percy asks grover and annabeth. "the police think we destroyed the arch and the train, so we can't get a ride anywhere that requires a ticket," grover informs percy. "so what are we gonna do? walk?" i joke. "yeah pretty much," grover nods. "no. i was joking grover. i'm not walking ten million gazillion miles to see santa and monica," i reply scrunching my eyebrows. "come on ettie, it'll be fun. percy will just carry you!" annabeth says making my face light up. "really?" i ask before looking up at percy brightly. percy's lips go into a thin line before nodding, "yep anything for you." i jump onto his back and he holds onto my thighs as we begin walking.

    i was resting my head on percy's shoulder as he carried me. i was thinking about who was gonna die soon, maybe me? hopefully me, i don't want any of them to die. percy began to rant about the mast bolt blah blah blah... i was too busy admiring his side profile to pay attention. "i'm the last person to realize this, aren't i?" percy asked. "yep." "uh huh." were the replies he got from grover and annabeth. "realize what?" i whisper into his ear. he looks over at me making our noses touch, "nothing pretty girl." blush crept up on my face as my lips turned upwards. "you are so pretty," i accidentally blurted out making me cover my mouth with wide eyes. "sorry," i muttered before resting my forehead on his shoulder. "what?" percy questions. "i said i hope we get there soon," i tell him and he just hums.
