~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Percy

I heard screams. I heard cries. I heard yells. I looked around but all I found was darkness. I walked around but still being surrounded by darkness. Then I heard a familiar scream. Annabeth.

"ANNABETH!!" I yelled.

I ran towards where I heard the screams from. I walked into a lighter room. It was the throne room in Olympus. All the gods were laying on the floor, lifeless. I saw all my demigod friends and Sally and Paul. I broke down crying. Then I heard Annabeth's scream again. I turned around and saw Evan holding a knife to her throat.

"You could have saved them Perseus. You could have saved your girlfriend, your friends, and the gods. But you are too weak. You will stay in the trapped room forever. No one will find you...." a creepy raspy voice came out of  Evan's mouth. Then he sliced his knife through her head. Annabeth's head rolled down on the ground. I screamed. My girlfriend is gone..

"HOW DARE YOU!!" I ran towards Evan, but he quickly disappeared.

"Look around Perseus. You did this to them. It is your fault. You could have been their hero, but you failed. We will rule Olympus." The same creepy raspy voice came from the darkness.

I cried. I could have saved them. I'm weak. I should be dead. How could I do this? What is wrong with me? I was there hero! I failed...

"You are a weak pathetic hero." The voice sputtered. I continued to cry and scream. I could have saved them! I could have been there for them! But where was I? Hiding in a building chained! Pathetic sea scum!

Then I plummeted into darkness. I continued to cry and scream. Everyone was gone. Everyone I loved was dead. It was all my fault. I could have saved them. I'm a pathetic use of a hero. Then I jolted awake feeling a pain in my wrist.

"Well well Perseus. About time you woke up. You were crying and screaming in your sleep. I'm glad you had a great dream..." George snickered.

"I had a great dream thank you for asking." I said sarcastically.

"Evan! When can I beat this guy up?" George sounded irritated.

"When we rule Olympus." Evan came into view.

"Meanwhile, why don't we watch your silly friends and girlfriend come to find you? I'm sure they would fail." Evan brought up a screen showing Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse.

"No! They shouldn't come! Don't!" I yelled.

"They can't hear you idiot. No one will." George slapped me.

Please don't come

Annabeth

"Um Annabeth I think you might wanna hear this..." Grover chewed his nails nervously.

"What happened while I was asleep?" I stood up and walked to get a towel to wash my face.

"Annabeth, Percy empathy linked me and tried to help us find him.." Grover stuttered.

I stood still. My seaweed brain needs help. Now we have to find him. He's alive, that's a good thing.

Not for long My brain thought.

Oh shut up. My heart yelled at my brain

"What did he say?" I asked.

"Um...he wants us to find Sally. He said that we have to be quick. He won't last long.. Bla-ha-ha-ha!" Grover bleated.

"We have to start now. Grover your the Lord of the Wild right? Can't you like see if there's a house in the woods in New York?" Clarisse asked Grover.

"Nope can't." Grover replied sadly

"Ok then we have to find Prissy's Mom. Grover and I are packed, Annabeth, get your stuff and meet us at Thalia's tree." Clarisse walked out of the Cabin.

"I'll find you Percy." I whispered to myself. Then I got ready to pack. I got Ambrosia, Nectar, and my invisibility cap. I took my bag and ran to Thalia's tree.

"What took you so long?" Clarisse looked serious.

"I didn't take that long." I rolled my eyes.

"Argus! We need a ride to New York buddy!" Grover went to go get Argus. Argus nodded and got his van. We jumped in and went onward to Sally's apartment. When we reached to the apartment we said bye to Argus and walked up to her room.

"Well this is it.." I knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked again. No one answered.

"Let's just go in this is taking FOREVER!" Clarisse knocked down the door. We saw no one. We walked around and when I went to the kitchen, it horrified me. Sally was laying down on the floor...covered in blood...next to her was Paul. Poor Percy. I dropped down on the floor. Percy's parents were like they were my own. But there gone. Grover began crying beside me. Clarisse had few tears. While I crept towards Sally to hold her hand, there was a note. I picked it up and showed Grover and Clarisse. It read:

This is what happens when you don't listen.

"oh my gods!!" I cried even more. Sally was so innocent. She was so kind. She had amazing cookies. She was the best mom anyone could ask her for. I felt pained to know how will Percy react when we tell him.

"Annabeth, we have to go. I know this is really sad but I smell monsters.." Grover bleated and went behind Clarisse.

"Well Well. What do we have here? Some demigods. Good lunch for us Cyclops. Yum Yum." I heard a creepy voice behind us. I took out my dagger and turned around. Grover took out his flute while Clarisse took out her spear.

"Show yourself one eyed freak! Come and get us!!" Clarisse yelled. Five cyclops came out from the shadows. Well. Thats great.

"FOR ARES!" Clarisse ran and attacked one of the Cyclops. She stabbed the Cyclops's eye.

Grover took out his flute and began playing, wrapping vines around the Cyclops. I came running toward him. I took my dagger and took aim to the eye. The Cyclops saw this coming, and dodged. He swatted his hand and I went flying back.

"Annabeth!!" I heard Grover yell. I groaned and got back up.

"Where are you going yummy demigod." The Cyclops came towards me trying to grab me by his hand.

This time I was quick, and dodged it. I felt a pain in my back but ignored it. I again aimed towards the Cyclops's eye, but to succeed this time. He roared back in pain. I took this advantage and slashed my dagger everywhere around him with anger. He turned to dust. I watched as one Cyclop's stood. Clarisse looked at me and we both nodded. We ran towards the Cyclops together. She threw her spear towards his eye, but it swatted it away. I slashed my dagger toward his shoulder, while Clarisse retrieved  her spear. She came back running and threw the spear towards his eye, while I was distracting him. He roared in pain. Clarisse and I began slashing our weapons, head to toe. He roared and began to turn to dust. Grover was in the corner scared out of his mind.

"Oh come on! That was only a warm up!" Clarisse yelled.

I felt more pain in my back then before. I grunted in pain and fell to the floor. While things went dark, the last thing I saw was Clarisse and Grover yelling my name, running towards me.

Percy

"ANNAABEETTHH!!!!!" I yelled.

No No No No No! This can't be happening! Sally and Paul are gone. Annabeth is hurt. ITS ALL MY FAULT!

"Annabeth!!!" I continued to scream and cry.

It was my fault that Sally and Paul died. It was my fault for Annabeth getting injured. It's my fault that I told Grover to save me. It's all my fault. I could have protected him I could have protected Mom and Paul. I could have protected Annabeth. I could have protected Olympus. But here I am. Useless piece of Pegasus dung! What is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be strong. I supposed to be out there protecting everyone. But here I am.

"Please don't hurt them!!" I screamed. Tears continued to drop out of my eyes, they could never stop. They could be a good lake for crying out loud. I cried until my eyes had no more water to give out. Evan and George laughed at my suffering. My beautiful mom is gone. Annabeth is hurt. All my fault.

"You see now, Perseus. No one can save you." Evan laughed wickedly.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE" I yelled. I got angry. Super angry. Nobody can walk in and hurt my family. Especially Mom and Annabeth. The ground began to shake.

"Stop him!" Evan ran towards me. I got even more angry.

The earth quick began to be monstrous. The lights fell off of the ceiling, parts of the ceiling began to fall, tables began to break. My chains broke free. Evan came towards me to hold me back but I won't let that happen. George came running towards us as back up, but I took out RipTide. Evan took his dagger out and tried to stab it in my arm. I dodged, and pushed him back. He flew back and hit the wall, groaning. George stared in amazement. I went behind him and stabbed him in the stomach.

"You will die." I whispered in his ear. He fell to the floor. Everything began to collapse. I ran for the old but Evan stood there.

"Not today. We were too close!! My monsters are marching to Camp Half Blood right now! After camp falls, we WILL rule Olympus!!" Evan roared.

He stabbed a dagger to my shoulder, but I had fast reflexes. I dodged and slashed RipTide into his shoulder. He yelled in pain. Then he took his dagger and hit a specific spot on my back. I yelled in pain and collapsed on the floor. I tried to get up but I couldn't. I continued to scream in pain. I tried getting up once more, but Evan pushed me down. Before he could say anything the ceiling flew down right on him. He was flat on the floor with a huge piece of the roof. I was still on the ground. I had to get out of there before it collapses. I crawled to the door. I tried getting up, holding the door knob as support. Once I got up, I opened the door and rolled out. As soon as I went out, the whole house crumbled. I still felt the earthquake outside. Trees were shaking. I calmed myself, trying to control my anger. I tried to think of Annabeth being sweet and kind. With her beautiful stormy grey eyes. Then the shaking stopped. I collapsed on the floor. That took way to much energy. I was panting hard, while black spots danced around my eyes.

"I will find you Annabeth..." I promised to myself before passing out.
