A/N: Just a heads up one of the characters is going to die. I'm sorry. Its what has to happen, the prophecy states this. Please forgive me for this chapter. It's sad.

Y/N's POV~

As we arrived to Rome, I watched as the beautiful trees and elegant hills rolled. I sighed knowing that once your in the pit you only why out is to find the ever changing spot of the Doors of Death. Also this will be the only lovely thing I will see in a while. I hear foot steps and I already know who it is. 

"Hey Leo." I hear the foot steps stop when they are right next to me. I look over to see Leo with tears falling down his face. He turns to me and says "What if you die Y/N? Who will be here for me with you gone? I feel like someone actually gets me for once. Cares for me." I let my emotions control me and I grab Leo and hug him as tight as I can and sob "Leo never feel like that! That's horrible! What about the seven? And Nico, Reyna, the campers, your siblings, and me." Leo hugs me back and I kiss his forehead. 

"We are always here for you. We care and love you." I say and Leo speaks, "Thank you Y/n. I really mean it." Suddenly some clicks, creaks and squeaks fill the air. Leo pulls away and says, "We're here at Rome. Be careful...Y/N please." I nod, "I promise." I grab my backpack of supplies Malcolm packed me and pulled in up around my shoulder. Thalia, Hazel, Mark, and Malcolm walk up the stairs as the ship lands in the parking area where Percy and Annabeth fell. I hug everyone and say goodbye. Malcolm and I climb down the rope ladder and on to the asphalt, Malcolm right behind me. As I approach the hole, I see webs and baby spiders crawling around on their legs. Malcolm gulps and I put a hand on his shoulder and said "Hey, if Annabeth can do it you can to." Malcolm glances over and our irises make eye contact. 

"Yeah, you're right. I can do this." I smile and climb down. As I walk around to make sure its safe, Malcolm drops down. I bend over and pick a spider up and place it some where far from Malcolm. As I look around, a glint of bronze makes me stop. I grab my sword, in gel pen form, and creep over. I grip the object and shake the tiny spiders off it and see its a dagger. Malcolm shouts, "That's Annabeth's old dagger she lost!" I smile and tuck it into my dagger sheath. I hope this brings good luck. I hear a noise and whirl around with W/N in hand to see a goddess standing before Malcolm and I. 

"Lady Athena?"

"Mom?" Athena casts her gaze to Malcolm, "Son, you have disgraced me." I stare at Malcolm and Athena until Malcolm says "What...how? How mother?" Athena lifted her chin and swiveled her glare towards me, speaking low and dangerous, "That is the what. This thing is the cause of my disgrace to you." I swallow and speak, "Lady Athena, how...how am I the cause of this problem?" Her eyes flashed with dangerous power and hate...for me. 

"You girl, have no right to speak to me. Because this dumb boy has a crush on you and I cannot tolerate another stupid spawn of that sea scum. Therefore, I am here to kill you." I gulped and took in what just happened. Athena wants to kill me because Malcolm has a crush on me. I look up to see Athena's spear to appear in her hand. She pointed it at me and said "Any last words, sea scum?" I can't find my words and Athena raised her spear and dove it down. The next few seconds with in slow motion. Malcolm yelled, "No!" then dove towards me to move me out of the way. I thought of the prophecy, 'One shall for another, In the hands of a mother;'  as I get pushed out of the way falling to the ground. I jump up and yell "Malcolm! No!" as the spear drives right through him. As soon as the spear touches the ground, it dissolves and Athena looks down to her son. Athena, in shock, gasps through her hands as she looks down. I walk over and kneel down to look at him. I grab a flask of nectar and some ambrosia. I feed the ambrosia to him and am about to give him a drink of nectar when he groans "Don't..." I look down at Malcolm and say "Malcolm! Stay with me! Please!"

"Y/N...I...can't feel....my chest..." Malcolm muttered. I laid him down properly and Athena asked, "What happened to Malcolm?" I didn't answer her and went back to Malcolm. His breaths shortened and had gotten raspy. He started mumbling and muttering words I couldn't understand or hear. 

"Y/N..." I heard my name and looked down at the boy. Crimson colored blood stained his shirt and my hands, his face pale as a ghost's, and his gray eyes dimming. His raspy voice only managed a few more words, "Y/N...I...see...the light..." My eyes brimming with tears, I bit back a sob. 

"N/N...I'll miss....you..." Then the light left in Malcolm's gray eyes. The tears I held in fell like a hole was in a dam's wall. I stayed there kneeling over Malcolm's dead body, tears pouring out. Athena standing next to me (at human height) bent over and placed her palm on his forehead and stood up gasping in shock. I looked at Athena only to see her looking at me. 

"Did I really kill my own son?" Athena asked. I stand up and say out of rage and hurt, "You know, I thought you were the goddess of wisdom. I thought you be wiser than that." Athena looked at me and said sadly, "Looks like I'm not always right." She turned to Malcolm and said something, a blessing, in Greek. Malcolm's body shimmered, then stopped. 

"What did you say?" I ask. 

"My blessing. I blessed him that he will be able to be reborn and still be a demigod but as any son of anyone but the maiden goddess." Athena explained then flashed away. I was still mad at her, no furious. Then I heard yells. I looked up to see Hazel, Mark, and Thalia running towards me. Hazel was the first to me and saw Malcolm. She gasped and whispered, "No..." I looked up and Hazel was backing away. 

"How did it happen?" She asked. The others came and saw Malcolm and I said, "The prophecy. 'One shall fall for another, in the hands of a mother'. Athena killed him." They gasped and I explained what had happened and I grabbed Annabeth's dagger from my sheath and handed it to Thalia. 

"Give that to Annabeth. Tell her about Malcolm and that I'm in the Tartarus, not Percy just Annabeth. Please Thalia, can I trust you with this?" Thalia nodded and I smiled softly and took Malcolm's bag and grabbed the extra supplies and handed them it. I started to the cliff's edge. I stopped at the edge turning to see Thalia softly and quietly crying while hugging Annabeth's dagger, Hazel sobbing, and Mark staring at me. I took a deep breath and said "See you at the other side, wherever that is." Then I jumped into the deep abyss. 

Thanks for reading and waiting also I'm so sorry I had to kill Malcolm. Forgive me, please? Anyway I'll see you in the next chapter. 

Bye~Bye my demigod friends!
