A/N This is my first songfic ever and I thought I would try it out. Constructive critisim would be nice so I can know if what I wrote was okay. This was originally going to just be the song but then an idea popped into my head so I just decided to go with it. Oh and in case you're wondering I'm a Percabeth অনুরাগী and not what ever combination of Luke and Annabeth's names make up their couple name. In case আপনি don't get the last part it's refering to the হারিয়ে গেছে Hero.
I was sitting on my বিছানা alone when a bright light blinded me. I shielded my eyes and carefully laid Daedalus’s laptop on my pillow. Right beside my বিছানা was a package. Now when you’re a Demigod packages popping out of nowhere isn’t so strange but আপনি still have to be careful. I gently picked it up just in case it was rigged দ্বারা one of Hermes’s kids, namely Conner and Travis Stroll. I flipped it over and my breath caught. Right there on the package was my name scrawled out in a very familiar handwriting but it was impossible he was dead. Suddenly a hand clamped down and my shoulder. I whipped around with his bronze ছুরি in my hand.
“Geez Annabeth are আপনি trying to kill the son of the Lord of the Underworld.”
I put my ছুরি away while rolling my eyes.
“Well Nico, if আপনি don’t want to die I suggest not sneaking up on somebody that আপনি know owns a knife. Why are আপনি here anyway?”
His gaze turned unsettled.
“What is it?” I prodded wanting to know what got him so worked up all of a sudden.
He pointed to the package behind me.
“Living people aren’t supposed to get mail from the dead.”
“So আপনি mean…”
Nico just nodded. I was both reluctant and keen to open the package at the same time.
“Are আপনি going to take this away from me then?” I asked half hopeful that he would and half hopeful that he wouldn’t.
Nico shook his head.
“I know that আপনি guys were বন্ধু and didn’t really talk before he died since we all thought he was a traitor so I’ll allow it just this once.”
“Thank আপনি Nico.”
“No problem.”
He shadow traveled out of here and I was left staring at the package. What would it say and why would Luke want to talk to me now? I shook my head. Don’t think about that right now Annabeth just open the package and get it over with. Even though I was scared my hands already started the motions of opening the package. Inside I found a long letter and a…disc? I quickly read the letter not wanting to get too emotional about it but I didn’t succeed. At least I knew he was happy now and that he was trying for re-birth. Now the disc. That didn’t seem like Luke’s style but as soon as I popped the disk into my laptop সঙ্গীত started playing and a bunch of old memories and feelings stirred up inside of me.
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
I knew it. For the gods sake I knew it I just didn’t want to accept it. Even before আপনি left to serve Kronos I knew something was up, I just never expected this.
It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over আপনি like it's all a big mistake
I trusted আপনি and আপনি betrayed me. When I think back I wonder how I didn’t see it. Everything, everything just went wrong. None of this should have happened. It was all a big mistake.
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose আপনি again
Something's made your eyes go cold
So many times I believed that আপনি would come back and make the right choice. But every time I হারিয়ে গেছে আপনি the pain আপনি caused me just grew and grew. Those golden eyes weren’t yours. আপনি let Kronos take over your body. আপনি made the wrong choice and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to forgive you.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
I loved you. I admired you. I thought I knew you. I mean after six years of running from monsters with someone আপনি would think that আপনি knew them well. আপনি were always there for me until now. আপনি choose the wrong side and I had to watch আপনি suffer for it. আপনি used to be all I wanted but not anymore.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
Those eyes. They weren’t yours but they haunted me. The thought that আপনি were gone forever utterly haunted me. Every time I saw আপনি I had this slim hope that maybe আপনি would go back to being the person I knew. The fact that I know your choice is made and our sides are fixed makes me feel like I can’t breathe.
Stood there and watched আপনি walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I ব্যক্ত to you
I…I had the chance to save আপনি but I didn’t. আপনি asked me to run away with আপনি like old times but I just stood there and watched আপনি walk away from me. I may have wondered what would have happened if I went with আপনি but all those words I ব্যক্ত I meant.
He would try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was আপনি instead
That may have been true before I got to really know Percy, but not anymore. Percy always stayed দ্বারা my side even when I spoke about you. I knew he didn’t like it but he stayed with me and listened anyway. In the end I realized that the one I truly loved was Percy but the pain আপনি caused me was immense. I thought আপনি would always stay দ্বারা my side. আপনি promised me. We all sweared to never leave each other like our families did. But the only one that ever stayed দ্বারা my side was Percy. থালিয়া may have left me but she had good intentions and that first time when she was turned into a pine tree, it wasn’t her fault. I can’t say the same about you.
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see আপনি again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing
I keep holding on to the hope that maybe, just maybe you’ll realize the truth and come back. I thought that maybe if আপনি came back আপনি could be the Luke I once knew and loved.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
You’re not the same person আপনি used to be. You’re just not. The Luke I knew wouldn’t have been so easily tempted with what Kronos’s offers অথবা maybe আপনি were always like that and I just never noticed until now.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
Our decisions were made a long time ago. We were past the point of turning back. When that ছুরি pierced আপনি I felt my breath catch. I didn’t want আপনি to leave me like this but I'm afraid there’s no turning back now.
I know, I know
I just know
You're not gone
আপনি can't be gone, no
Right away I knew আপনি weren’t truly gone. When আপনি fell off that cliff I knew in my হৃদয় that আপনি were still alive. Even when Kronos possessed আপনি I could feel that আপনি were still there deep inside. A few times আপনি were able to gain control but it never was enough was it?
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what আপনি started
আপনি came to me because আপনি were scared of what Kronos might do with you. আপনি were scared to finish what আপনি started. আপনি wanted to escape from everything but your plans went terribly wrong when I didn’t accept your offer. At least in the end আপনি found yourself again and that’s what matters the most.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had আপনি figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
The pain of thinking আপনি were gone forever I just couldn’t deal with it. The thought made it hard even for Percy to get near me. I tried to block out your face when I thought আপনি were gone but it never worked. Every time I thought of আপনি it felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore and what scared me the most, what haunted me the most was your face when আপনি finally told me that আপনি loved me and আপনি realized that I didn’t প্রণয় আপনি that way, at least not anymore.
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Sure I know how thin our relationship has become but I never thought that we would be thrust apart so easily. Even my prophecy on that quest in the Labyrinth confirmed that I did প্রণয় you. Now, now that line is broken and truly broken I feel like I'm ready to সরানো on. The moment I realized I didn’t really প্রণয় আপনি the way I loved Percy we were both set free. I was set free from the illusion of প্রণয় and আপনি were set free from Kronos’s control. I never thought that I would see the দিন when I found someone I could truly be myself with and love. Someone who wouldn't run away. I’m sorry to say this but Luke, আপনি ran away like everyone else in my life. The only person that ever stayed দ্বারা my side was Percy. Even when everyone thought I was dead, Percy was the only one who stayed my দ্বারা side.
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it
I was about to shut off the song when I saw something appear on the screen.
I know now that you’re happy without me and all I want to say is the threats aren’t over yet even though Kronos is gone. I’d tell আপনি to talk to Chiron about it but he wouldn’t be able to answer you. Spend your time with Percy wisely because if what I think the fates have in store for আপনি is what it is then you’re going to have a Hades of an adventure.
-Love Luke
What the Hades did he mean দ্বারা that? A few weeks later I found out. Percy and I were so happy that we both had winter break at the same time. We had a bunch of things planned out. Okay I planned out everything but that was okay because this was the first time we would be able to see each other in person since summer. This would have been the happiest I had ever been except for the fact that Luke’s warning was always someplace in the back of my mind. I just couldn’t figure out what he meant. Me a Daughter of Athena not knowing what something meant. I didn’t find out until Percy kissed me right before we went to bed. The পরবর্তি morning everything changed. Percy was gone. The one person that had never left me through everything that happened in our hectic Demigod lives went missing. Percy left me behind just like Luke did.
