From that moment, that's who she became to me. A reason to fight. Not any of my friends, not seeing Annabeth's reaction if I made it out alive, but her. To make sure she makes it out of this alive. She has a brother she needs to talk to. I can't let her last discussion with him be arguing over Ares and his stupidity. I crawled out of the hole and made sure she was comfy before I started to look around once again. That's when I heard someone. I had made my way into an empty room, a bathroom, which surprised me, but it's not like I can control the water. Hesitantly, I opened the door slightly, there was a group of 3 looking around down here.

"It doesn't look like anyone's been down here, look around though, we need to get rid of some competition." A man said, he sounded gruff, angry, probably a son of Ares, the build he has and everything about him gave off that energy.

"We still haven't seen that Percy guy." A girl said, opening the door to the left of the room I was in, and I gulped, sliding under the counter, she'll check the stalls, but hopefully not under here. If she does spot me I'll have time to knock her out. To kill her. I shook off the thought, only if she attacks first.

"He's a coward, I bet he jumped out a window. You know his fatal flaw, everyone does." The other guy said, he didn't sound like a kid of Ares, Apollo, maybe? Hermes? I wasn't sure. I bit my cheek. They think I killed myself? Do they really think I'm a coward? I've done so much for both camps yet they think I'm a coward? Anger swelled within me, but I took a deep breath, holding when the girl came in and started kicking open stalls.

"You know what he's capable of." She said loudly, looking out the door to see his reaction, which I couldn't see.

"Not without his powers. Children of the big three and their egos, since they have so much power compared to everyone else, they don't know how to fight without their powers." The big guy scoffed, he came into the bathroom next, and I held my breath longer, not a sound.

"Hey guys, I found this secret door." The other guy said, and my eyes shot opened. Maddy!

"Someone might be hiding in there, wait for us, then open it quietly." The girl said and the two started to walk out, but I leaped forward and tackled the big guy and I punched, hard. It didn't knock him out but it put him in a daze. I hopped off of him quickly, the girl was racing toward me, so I grabbed her wrist that had the knife and I bent it so the sharp end was facing her body and I pushed it until the blade was deep in her stomach. I looked up, the guy was crawling into the space!

"No you don't!" The big guy growled and stabbed my thigh, which caused me to grimace, and I used my good leg to stomp on his chest, and I heard cracking, his ribs were broken. I used this time to grab my knife and thrust it into his chest, and then I ran.

"Maddy!" I shouted running to the corner, where the guy fell, dead. Maddy came out and dusted off her hands, looking at the other two people.

"You know you got to finish it, right? You can't just leave them to die slowly." She said, and I gulped. "You did the blow, you get to do the last one. It sucks, but, I'm not going to kill everyone for you." She said and I nodded, the guy was wheezing, holding onto the chest wound, trying to stop the bleeding, and the girl was trying to stand up, which she succeeded in doing.

"You little bitch." She growled at me and lunged at me but I grabbed Maddy's dagger from her hand and I swiped aggressively. Her body hit the ground, her head hit the floor, she was dead, her neck was hardly attached to her body after that swipe. I gulped, my grip on the dagger loosening. I went over to the guy and I bent beside him.

"I'm not a coward." I growled angrily, and his eyes widened in terror as I stabbed him again, but this time it killed him. Standing up, I looked away quickly, looking at Maddy, who looked at the bodies before looking at me calmly. "How is this so easy for you?" I asked and she looked down.

"I'd gotten used to it, people dying. I grew up in foster homes, some were good but others." She trailed off, almost remembering it, and I nodded. "I got used to seeing abuse, I've seen some bodies after suicide." She said sadly, she knew them. "You didn't shed a tear, it looked like you had no issue."

"I don't cry." I said sternly, and she looked almost surprised at my bluntness.

"Why not? It's normal to cry, everyone does it." She asked curiously, and I bit my cheek.

"I grew up in a boys don't cry house hold." I said, making my way to the washroom, where she followed me, sighing in relief when she saw the bathroom.

"I thought sally was a great mom? Everyone that's met her has said that."

"I'm not talking about my mom. My mom wasn't home enough to decide what kind of household it was." I was angry, I was bitter. "But that's the end of it. I don't talk about it."

"Like I said, this is the best time to get everything off your chest, you see them? That could be us next time." She said, and I looked at her through the mirror, she seemed distressed, like she was trying to think of anything but what was in her own head right now. My heart pounded against my chest and it was getting harder to breath. I've never admitted it.

"I was abused, by my previous step father." I said, and her eyes shot wide open, she was clearly shocked. "My mom killed him after my first quest. I'd send Poseidon Medusa's head, and he sent it back. After he tried to kick me to the streets and I left, she used it on him." I explained, and her expression remained the same. "I don't talk about it because I'd rather forget about it, other people had it worse." I said, splashing water on my face and washing my hands and arms to get the blood off.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." She said quietly, and I bit my cheek, looking at the sink.

"No one did. I was planning on taking that secret to my grave." I said, and we walked out of the bathroom and back to the bodies.
