Percy Jackson
____________________

How many times have we risked our lives for the Gods? Alot. How many times have they actually helped us? Hardly any, all they give us are stupid riddles, they're always too busy to get their lazy butts off of Olympus and help their children. Honestly, I was sick of it, we all were.

Now things are really messed up, we thought we were finally free! Of course we were wrong though. We destroyed the Titans and stopped the war between the Greeks and the Romans, but now something else wants us gone.

Badly.

I left camp a few days ago, the day we were raided. Somehow, our shield was taken down and we were flooded with all sorts of monsters. Minotaurs, an Empusa, Stymphalian Birds, basically every monster we know. When the monsters finally flooded out the few survivors cleaned up the mess.

Most of the camp was dead, bodies shredded into bloody pieces and tossed into large piles. Chiron is dead and Mr. D is gone, probably hiding somewhere, coke in hand. Leo, Piper and Jason, three of the survivors are currently running the camp, which now consists of less then fifty-five people. The dead were given a memorable funeral, honoring them for their hard work and courage.

I hope Hades treats them well.

(Im kinda confused, if a demigod dies, they go to the underworld with Hades and have a chance at paradise afterlife or eternal nothingness right? Or is there like a heaven and hell type thing? Please tell me lol)

For days I've been running to who-knows-where. I'm exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and I ache all over. I havent slept for days, I'm just to worried about her.

Annabeth was taken when we were battling. At first everyone thought she died when we grouped up at the end, but I knew better. As a precaution, we double checked every dead body. Some were unrecognizable but we eventually found out the identities. Half of the remaining campers were either under extreme medical care or in deep shock, while the others try to figure out what to do next and train more.

My pack grew heavier and heavier as I ran through the woods, I need to find my girlfriend.

"Percy to the left!" Annabeth called, I dodged a horn and swung Riptide in front of me. The minotaur roared when the blade hit his shoulder. Riptide did a few more slices and stabs before the minotaur disintegrated for good.

Then three more stepped up.

I looked for Annabeth, but I couldn't see her anymore, I guess she got lost in the crowd. While dodging more attacks and stepping over countless bodies I yelled for the Gods help. I knew they could hear me, but they didnt show any sign.

My injuries healed themselves once I entered the bloody lake. It felt good, but yet I felt bad, I was healing while the others were dying. I jumped out the water and re-joined the battle.

Hours later I was lying in the grass panting. Riptide was across from me, monster-blood dripping off the golden blade. I crawled over to the water and stretched my hand so my fingers could touch the water. Once I felt good enough to stand, I walked over to the glowing fire in the center of camp, leaving Riptide who soon jumped into my pocket. Leo was there blasting more flames off of his hands onto the wood.

"Percy!" He cried running over to me, "Finally! I thought I was the only one left! I mean, the magnificent Leo is amazing and all, but its kinda boring without someone to talk to." I forced a laugh,

"Yeah yeah Leo," I stopped for a sec realizing what he said, "What do you mean only one left? Someones gotta be alive around here!!" I panicked, worrying about Annabeth and the rest of my friends.

Jason stepped out of the shadows carrying Piper bridal style. "We're here." Leo looked them over and let out a breath, "Thank the Gods. Piper whats wrong?"

Piper glanced up and sighed, "Didnt feel like moving."

Jason laughed, "More like she couldn't feel her leg to move it. She broke it."

Piper and Jason argued playfully while I just sat in my thoughts, Annabeth does this all the time. I smiled, then dropped it off my face. "Annabeth!!" I hopped up and ran around, Jason, Piper and Leo snapped their heads up and looked at me before Jason spoke, "Yeah, we need to look for more survivors." We nodded and searched around, Piper being supported by Leo's makeshift crutch and Jasons' arm.

Carefully we flipped over bodies and checked pulses. Most were cold and pale grasping on to the last few breaths of their lives. I nearly stepped past a girl from the Hermes cabin but she grabbed my ankle weakly. "P-percy," she rasped, tears running down her face, "Ann-anna-annabeth--" She couldn't finish her sentence, death took her first.

Tears burst from my eyes as I shook her shoulders wildly, "Annabeth what?!?" I screamed at the corpse, "What happened?!" Jason ripped me off of her and held me back, "Leave the body be Perc, Annabeth will be fine, shes Annabeth." I fell to the ground on my knees, he was right.

We searched the rest of the camp and brought all the people who lived to the center and all of the unlucky fellows to an empty building that we used for the deaths of us. It was full of dust from lack of use. Well, today its going to be full.

I was still frantically searching every nook and cranny while the others patched themselves up.

She wasnt anywhere.

I went to my cabin and grabbed my pack and stuffed in everything I would need. Ambrosia, water and food, a spare set of clothes, human money and a few golden drachmas. Then I left the building. The least thing I could do was stay for the funeral, I mean they were my family after all.

Jason and the others watched me run through the blood-stained mud, the tears and rain drenching me. They wanted to leave with me, but I refused. The camp needs a leader while we look for Mr. D, and they are stronger together.

I'm all alone on this one, I need Annabeth. Im nothing without her.

This is going to be my hardest mission yet.

I woke up on a pile of leaves, in the mud in front of me were three words obviously intended for me,
