Decided to make this several one shots, writing it as I get inspired. Also, check out my story, Up With The Angels.
"Sammy, time to fight," Said Billy, son of Apollo. I breathed in then out, you can do this.
I put on a fake smile, hiding the dread and fear behind a mask of certainty, "lets go."
We grabbed our shields, swords and armor. I adjusted the straps, making sure they were comfortable. Fight like the demon you are.
I grabbed my sword and shield, heading to the front of the group. I barley made it up there, nerves so overpowering I felt like falling. Last fight.
"Listen up!" I shouted, trying to keep my voice from wavering. Every head turned to me, totaling up to a hundred. "Remember tactics, stay strong, and fight to the death!" I shouted, thrusting my sword in the air, listening to the battle cheers from the group in front of me. How are they not scared?
I turned around, and with wobbly knees, started walking to the barrier ahead of me. I took in every last bit of scenery before I walked outside, never to return. The cabins, the lake, the big house and the strawberry fields. Things I see everyday, never appreciated, never seen again.
As I walked past Thalia's pine, I rested my palm on it one last time. "Goodbye Thalia" I murmured before walking away, never to see it again.
As I walked away from the camp, with the hundred soldiers behind me, I could have sworn that the sky rumbled, as if Zeus was saying "goodbye."
We all caught the transport the camp supplied, though others, such as Nico, took their own transport.
Sitting in the buses, with Ally, my girlfriend, next to me I couldn't help but dread what was ahead of us.
"What's wrong?" she asked, her short, platinum blonde hair tucked behind one ear. Her blue eyes looking watery from the reflection of the sun.
"Nothing," I said, kissing her cheek. Ally was so perfect, in every way possible. She was kind, smart, funny, caring and happy, a rare combination.
She rested her head on my shoulder for the rest of the trip, playing with my dark hair, laughing at the differences between our hair colours.
I tried to smile, I tried to sound amused, I tried to forget what the prophecy said, I had too.
Ally didn't deserve me, she didn't know I was going to die today; she didn't know that I was going to break her heart.
Once we arrived in Manhattan, we got out of the car, and while everyone was readjusting their armor, I pulled her aside, I had to break up with her, to stop her heart from being broken further.
"Sammy?" she said, looking up into my eyes. For a second I didn't think I could tell her, I loved her, we had been together for years, I couldn't just dump her.
"Ally, I, I need to let you go," I said and instantly regretted what I said, really? I need to let you go? Sure, that was so putting her down easy.
Her smile dropped, and her eyes turned dull, "What?"
"I don't want to Ally," I said, thinking of what I could say, looking up onto the horizon.
"I, I think I understand," she said quietly, looking down, and being quiet, as if trying to make herself small.
"I don't want to Ally, I love you, you have to believe that ok?"
She got mad, looking up at me, and she kicked me in the leg, before stomping off.
My heart cracked in too, and I felt as if someone had injected me with dread, filling me until I pop.
Resisting the urge to cry and breakdown in tears, I lugged myself over to the soldiers waiting for me.
After giving out orders, I realized that the nerves were gone, and only disappointment remained.
Walking to the front line, I saw Ally walking in the opposite direction. I looked at her but she looked away, eyes red and puffy.
Like a stab to the heart, I felt guilty all over again. The fighting was a daze, left, right, up, down, parley, defend.
I fought for hours and hours, defeating the endless amount of opponents that tried to beat me.
Finally, at the end of the day, a worthy opponent came up to me.
"Well, well, well, a son of Hermes, are you worthy to fight me?" Smirked this blonde haired boy, aged seventeen like me, slightly shorter, 5' 10' while I was 6' 2'.
"Bite me," I said, starting the battle. It was a constant reply of blows, back and forth, back and forth.
I was slowly getting tired, and so was the other dude. We were getting sloppy, and when he made a stupid stab to my heart, which I counter attacked and made a swing at his shoulder.
As soon as I hacked my sword into his shoulder, he started smiling. Though before I could feel something slowly sinking into my back.
"What?" was all I could say before I collapsed, blood spilling out of my mouth.
He chuckled, leaving me alone. No one else was around, and I lay on the ground. This is the end, but don't worry, you shall not be alone when you take your last breath.
Then before someone could have said 'die', someone rushed over to me, leaning me against them.
My vision was blurred, though after hearing the person whisper, "Sammy, no, no, no, Sammy, come back." And start crying I immediately knew it was Ally.
"Ally?" I said, blood still spilling from my mouth.
"Yes Sammy?" She said, holding in her tears, rocking me back and forth, back and forth.
"I love you Ally," I said, before my vision became darker, and the world started blacking out around me.
Distant, like she was yelling from a long way away, Ally said, "I love you too Sammy." Before my vision disappeared completely, and I knew I was dead, though I was peaceful now, no more worries.
No more worries….
