Chapter 3
Percy
––––––
I woke up on a very uncomfortable cot, my limbs sore from battles and lack off movement. My throat was dry. I scanned the place with my eyes, it seemed like some sort of tent...
"Thalia!" I screamed as soon as I saw the black haired girl run inside. She crushed me in a hug, "Percy!! We were so worried, you've been asleep for three days."
I used my small amount of strength to push her off, "Three days?!?!"
She nodded sadly, I tried to stand but my legs wouldn't allow it.
"They got you pretty good." She said, looking at my bruises I gestured to my pack which she gave to me. Opening it, I eyed the ambrosia I brought and scarfed down a few pieces. Once I felt better I got up, swinging the pack over my shoulder. Thalia looked at me strangely, "What do you think your doing?"
"Looking for Annabeth," I replied, "I'm giving up until I find her."
She grabbed me and shoved me onto the cot again, "You are not leaving until your perfectly healed." She growled, "Besides you have visitors."
I cocked my head to the side, confused. Everyone that was left was at camp..
"Nico??" I asked as soon as the boy walked in. He smirked, "The one and only."
"I thought you were dead with the rest of them!"
He sighed looking down, a frown replaced his smirk. "Actually me and the two lovebirds went to Camp Jupiter for help. And I am the son of Hades!! oh and..sorry about Tyson man, hes gone.."
Hazel and Frank walked in, "Did you tell him?" They asked, Nico nodded before turning to look at me once more, "Yeah, and I went to visit him. He chose a new life."
I nodded sadly, a single tear trickled down my cheek, I was glad he got another chance at life, but I was going to miss him.
Hazel noticed my expression and came over and hugged me, Thalia soon followed. Next thing I know, four sets off arms were wrapped around me as I cried.
I cried for Tyson, for Annabeth, for camp, for my broken family, for me.
Eventually they all stepped out to give me some space, they tried to whisper but I heard nearly every word they said. "Ive checked in on the camp, they arent doing so well." Someone said, "I made Jason go take them to the Romans, with some reinforcements of course."
"I cant believe Annabeths gone, why her?"
"I'm scared, whats going to happen? Nearly the whole camp is gone! That's a lot of us! These guys gotta strong and smart."
"He's not going to stop looking for her, ever you do know that right Nico?"
I heard Nico sigh, "Yeah, that's why we're going to help him."
After that I lost myself in my thoughts.
They can't help me, I dont need anyone else hurt.... Annabeth is my girlfriend, I can find her alone.
They all shuffled in, Thalia was no where to be seen. "Percy, I know you dont want this but we're coming with." Hazel said, "And you can't do anything about it."

We all slowly walked down the street in silence. I couldn't get them to stay, they stuck with me like glue. Thalia would have came also, but she had to stay behind with the rest of her group. I sighed, this is going to be hard.
They all had their packs too, they were ready for anything, at least that's what they thought. They weren't ready for this, none of us were. Honestly, we're screwed.
Frank tried to lighten up the mood a bit with some jokes, "What do you call a fake noodle?"
No reply.
"An impasta!" He laughed at his own comment.
"Why was the cow afraid? Because he was a cow-herd!!"
Silence.
He tried one last time, "Why did-"
Nico cut him off, "Frank shut up? Because I would give him as a gift to Cerberus if he didnt."
Frank winced and stayed quiet while Hazel snorted.
My friends were always funny and happy, it was so wierd seeing them like this. Nico wasnt the same after the Bianca incident, but when Hazel was around he got somewhat better. Now hes back to square one.
Frank and Hazel turned out to be a great couple, always looking on the bright side. Now I think they realize there isnt always one..
And me? Im nothing without my Annabeth, shes my other half, shes the brains, shes the light in my dark tunnel. She always knew how to make me smile...its different when shes gone.
Man! I wish Chiron was here, he always knew what to do when Annabeth wasnt around to do it.
My latin speaking centaur teacher was the first to die. He positioned himself in front of us sword and shield in hand, he aways tried to protect us. Life wouldnt be the same without him, he was the one who taught us everything we know to this day.
"Why dont you ask Grover if hes seen her anywhere?" Hazel asked me. I glared at her, "Me and Grover arent friends anymore for your information."
Without waiting for her reply I walked faster and took a turn. They all jogged to keep up with me, we continued this all night.
