Percy in Tartarus |✓

||Gruniper||

Percy's POV

I kept on stumbling, falling, and making my legs feel worser than ever. That's the basic summary of what happened for the last...oh, I don't know...few minutes? Hours? Days, perhaps? I just don't know. 

Grover was literally, okay he is, begging me to stop walking because he is so afraid that I'll get paralyzed or something. My head (or brain) was screaming "STOP WALKING!" And my legs are screaming "STOP WALKING!". But my heart was screaming "KEEP ON WALKING! DO IT FOR ANNABETH!" So I listened to my heart.  

"Stop it Percy! Right now! Just take a break! Please..." Grover pleaded.

No response from me.

"I can't play for any longer." He continued. I stopped walking. I didn't want to hurt Grover any longer. My legs collapsed from exhaustion and pain. 

Grover's POV

I sighed in relief. Percy finally stopped. He was getting me worried. But I do feel bad for lying. I could play for another two hours for Percy's sake, but I had to let him stop. But why am I even helping him?

"Because he is your best friend." The angel in my head said.

"But he has everyone else. Especially that Jason." That no-good devil reasoned. 

Then I could feel my angel and devil arguing, debating, and it was too much to bear.

"Shut it!!!!!" I told them both a miraculously the voices in my head simmered down.

I sighed and was feeling miserable and sorry for myself.

Then Juniper pranced over, sprouting flowers and shrubs along the way.

"What's wrong Grover?"

"Nothing." I lied.

"Oh, c'mon. I've known you for like forever! Of course there is something wrong!" She answered gently.

"Oh really, you really don't want to tell me?" She reasoned when I didn't reply. "I'll make you enchiladas and collect tin cans for the whole entire week if you tell me." She offered sweetly.

I grinned to myself. She by far is the sweetest and kindest girlfriend I could ever wish for. 

"Fine, but only for your enchiladas." I gave in.

She pretended to look hurt. "You mean you're only dating me because of my enchiladas? I thought you knew better, Grover Underwood."

"Oh, NO! No way! I date you because you are so sweet and beautiful and-" I stopped myself. Pan's pipes! I could feel myself turn red.

I saw Juniper and she was also blushing, which to be honest was quite adorable considering that her face was green.

"Aww, that's so sweet. And I really didn't mean that. I was just teasing you."

"So what's wrong?" She asked.

"I'mjealousofJasonGrace." I said quickly.

It took her a while to comprehend, but then she said, "There's no need to. You have been friends with him ever since you were twelve! Did Jason have that? Did he stand between Kronos and Percy to protect him from the evil Titan? (A/N: Remember that scene in The Last Olympian? Anyone? Ahem...sorry, continue on with your reading) As a matter-of-fact, they would've NEVER bonded if it wasn't the prophecy. You found him WITHOUT a prophecy, but it was just there. So stop giving yourself a hard time because you are the bravest satyr I have ever known."

I sighed. She was right. 

"But you still owe me tin cans and enchiladas!"

"I still remember!" She laughed and then left.

But then I heard a blood-curling scream, and then I realized that it was Percy's.

Oh my gods! Thank you so much for 1.1 K reads! I am literally screaming right now. 

And I am so sorry for not updating for so long.

And I guess the last sentence was a cliff-hangie, so sorry. So what could've happened to Percy? I'll leave you guys to think what happened. 

Until next time and bai!
