I was floating the black space. I felt nothing. No pain, no agony. Well, not on the outside at least. The inside of me was doomed, and I felt like my heart has exploded into a million pieces. I wanted to curl up into a ball and not move for the rest of my life, but suddenly I felt a hand on my arm. I couldn't see anything but I could feel it. I was being pulled through the vast black place until I wasn't.

The hands let go and I felt myself falling. I was falling forever. Images of Tartarus flashed through my mind, and then Annabeth. My heart felt like someone was squeezing it into nothing. She loved Shane, not me. My friends betrayed me, hated me, did not trust me. I kept falling and falling until I saw a bright light under me. I braced myself for impact, squeezing my eyes shut and letting the tears escape. I was nothing, I was no one. No one but a killer.

Suddenly I wasn't floating anymore. I opened my eyes and I was laying on a bed. I was in a sea green room, with murals of the ocean covering the walls. The bed was a waterbed and bounced when I shifted. There was a fountain in the corner, and a window in the other corner. I walked over to it and looked out, but there was nothing. There was just that black space that I must of been floating in before. There were stars and galaxies somewhere away that I could faintly see. That's when I thought, wait. How am I alive?

Suddenly the sea green door to my room was opened, and in walked someone who I recognized immediately. Tears were flowing from my eyes before I could stop them. The blond boy with bright blue eyes and a scar running down his face embraced me, and we hugged.

"Luke, oh my gods, am I dead?" I ask. He laughs wiping a tear from his face.

"No, your far from that Percy," he laughs.

"Where are we?" I ask. Luke smiles.

"Were in the land of Chaos. She saved you from death, and you came here instead. Earth is in a whole different galaxy," Luke explains. I sigh in relief.

"I heard what happened," Luke said softly. I just nod and stand up straighter.

"So why am I here? Why me?" I ask Luke. He grins.

"Chaos saves the ones who were not ready to die. It was not our time, so she took us here. She only takes the best warriors, and we end up here. We train and go on missions, saving other worlds from (pun intended) chaos. There are only a few of us. She turns us into what we are now, Chaos Warriors," he explains.

"Am I a...Chaos Warrior?" I ask. Luke laughs.

"Not yet, but you will be. You are given extra strength stronger than you had, and thought communication. We can speak to eachother through our minds. Also, we get new names, to symbolize that our old life is over, and our new one has taken flight," Luke says. I grin.

"Wow Luke, you've gotten very poetic and wise over the years," I smile. "Oh wait, what is your new name?"

"Alpha. My name is Alpha. I've spent hundreds of years here," he says.

"Wait, but it's only been around five years since you were gone," I say confused.

"One year on earth is 50 years in the land of Chaos," he explains. I nod, and then smile.

"So your the leader?" I ask. Luke shakes his head no.

"No, we don't exactly have a leader. Chaos told us that one day someone would come, and when she turned them into a Chaos Warrior, something would happen letting her know that they were the leader of the Chaos Warriors," Luke says. "Anyway, I need to go. Chaos wants me to show you around later, but first she needs to turn you into a Chaos Warrior."

I nod and say goodbye to Luke, and she shuts the door behind him. I lay on my back down on the bed. Maybe things would get better after all, as long as I don't have to go back to earth.

Your welcome
