Percy's Point of View

I know you are probably judging me because of what I did, but if you were in my position you might have done the same. After everything that's happened I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to be with Annabeth, and I just couldn't handle anymore battles. I was trying to be strong for the other campers, but I just couldn't do it anymore.

Annabeth was my world, and I had lost so many others besides her as well. I still miss them all, I would rather have peace but it seems that fates don't want me to have any. I tried to take matters into my own hands, but Chiron had found me. I woke up to see Grover at my bedside with a look on his face that somehow held both disappointment and sympathy. After I woke up most of my friends came in to see me, but even though they were my friends and I do care for them I just don't know if I can keep going.

After I was fully healed I was summoned to Olympus. Oh joy, what could the gods want now? I thought to myself. Argus drove me to the empire state building, and I got out and headed up to Olympus. When I asked the guy at the desk for the key card as usual he said that there wasn't a six hundredth floor. I replied,

"I'm not in the mood for this right now, just give me the dam key!"

I know it was rude, but I wasn't in the mood to deal with him, I'd been forced to live when I just wanted to die, now I had no idea what the gods wanted me for, I just wanted to get this over with. As I walked through Olympus I couldn't help but think that Annabeth had designed most of it. Finally, I entered the throne room, I bowed to the gods, but I would almost rather get blasted for disrespecting them than have to keep going on with my life. At least if they blasted me I would be dead and my misery would end.

Zeus spoke, He said, "Perseus Jackson, we were recently informed that you attempted to end your life prematurely. Why would you do that."

Slightly annoyed I replied, "I did it because I've had enough, I'm tired of the fighting, the battles, the loss. I've lost too many people; I just want to be with them."

Some of the gods got sad looks on their faces, others didn't really seem to care. My father was the next to speak. He said with an obvious sad look on his face, "Percy, we have discussed this, and we believe it is best that you leave camp half blood for a while, it might be easier for you to heal away from camp. When you get back to camp pack your things and visit your mother for a couple of weeks, then we will send you to Camp Jupiter. the remaining Romans are fond of you, and would welcome you back into the legion. We believe that it will be easiest for you to heal in a place without so many memories."

He might be right, but, I was pretty sure that not even that could heal me I was like a worn out machine, so used up I could no longer be fixed. Thinking of machines made me think of Leo, another person who I'd lost.

My father spoke again saying, "Can we trust you not to make another attempt to end your life?"

I stayed silent because despite the fact that they wanted me to heal, I didn't think I could no matter where I was and I would most likely try again.

Zeus spoke to my father in an undertone, wait what! those two can actually talk without yelling at each other? what the hades. My father spoke he said, "Percy I'm sorry but we cannot allow you to end your own life prematurely, I don't want to force this upon you, but I know you wont accept it willingly..."

I realized what he was getting at and I tried to make a run for it. Unfortunately for me Artemis and Ares teleported in front of me stopping me in my tracks. I tried to get around them but I couldn't get away. I turned around knowing that I would be forced into immortality, and lose my chance of ever seeing everyone I had lost again. There was nothing I could do to avoid it, no matter I tried the gods would stop me.

When I gave up, Zeus made me immortal much to my chagrin. After that they told me to head back to camp, pack my things, and say goodbye to my friends. I would go along with what the gods wanted, I didn't exactly have a choice. My dad apologized again for forcing me into immortality, but I wasn't quite ready to accept his apologies. After that I left the empire state building and Argus drove me back to camp.
