House of Hades-Reading Skills

"Annabeth's heart raced. She knew the exit was close. If they could make it out of the Mansion of Night, maybe they could leave the drak brood of demons behind. She began to run faster, which would have meant her death if Percy hadn't stopped her."
Question: Would she really have died if she ran off the cliff or is there something below the cliff?
Prediction: I predict that Annabeth will be shaken up after almost dying and will confide in Percy until she thinks that she can move on. Once she is ready to move on I think she will keep moving, and try to forget about it.  She won't let herself be completely held up by Percy because she knows he needs him just like she needs him.
Text-to-self connection: one time I was with my grandpa and we were doing some hiking trails with my brother, and two of my cousins.  The trails took you high and there were some major drop-offs were you could have fallen to your death. This was very scary for having a three year old around. I can relate to this quote because I was very scared for my three year old cousin. I was constantly looking out for him, and making sure he wasn't too close to the edge of the trails.
Text-to-text connection: In the Gone series Sam saved many kids from being killed and became a hero from it, but that left him so that he couldn't rely on others unlike Percy and Annabeth.

In this article people die trying to save their dog. This shows that people are good and try to help one another.
