Red Tears
Six years, it took six years for them to notice the stains. Six years to notice the pain in my eyes. Six years to realize that it was too late. Nothing was going to be able to save me. Because nothing could save me. I had given them everything I had just for it all to be thrown right back. They never noticed the Red Tears. Not a single one of them
My problems started with my birth. My mother had caught the eye of Poseidon, God of the Sea. At the time, there was a pact between him and his brothers that they would not have anymore children. Zeus had broken this pact as well as Poseidon. With my birth came sixteen years of hardships and challenges. All in all, it was very interesting. I thought that I was to die at the age of sixteen. But instead, I lost the one thing I thought I would never find. Love. Love was the one thing I had found to keep me going. And that love was stripped from me, six years ago.
Flashback
As Annabeth and I walked into the throne room, Hestia was missing from her place at the hearth. And Kronos stood there, looking over us with interest.
"Well child, it looks as though your time has met it's end. Do you have any last words you would like to say before I start the Golden age once more."
All I did was look into his eyes. As I pulled Riptide out, my answer was sealed. We charged at eachother, not willing to give and inch to the other. My motivation was the lives of innocent demigods. His was this thirst for power. As the fight continued I started to speed up. Because he wasn't using his powers, I was starting to overpower him. Just as I was about to disarm him, he slowed time down to the point where I could see what he was doing. When I was brought out of my moment of stasis, my blade made contact with flesh instead of metal. What I had cut into was my very reason for fighting.
Annabeth.
Looking at what I had down, my rage, my self doubt, my hate all boiled into my fighting. I couldnt see anything as my one and only focus was ending his life. Soon he overextended and stepped into the hearth. There he froze from the hope that had been in the hearth. Stuck in place, I slashed at every area I could find, just to find where he had placed his heel. At last, I scratched underneath his left armpit,and he screamed. His eyes like a strobe light. And ending with a final burst. Just as I feel back. I saw the many gods and goddesses run into the throne room.
Flashback end
And the love I had found was lost. As for my wish from the gods, I requested to take it another time. The after party that concluded our victory was perfect. It wasn't for one soul though and that soul was me. The next year, we found many campers as though the gods realized something. That was when Chiron explained that Athena convinced Zeus that they need to claim their children. The war was started over the fact that their children had felt neglected by their parents.
Two years after the war, we discovered many building in the woods. Bunkers with different numbers on them. Chiron had locked that area of camp away. Saying that he swore on the Styx not to talk about this subject again. The only way to access the area was to slay many, many dragons.
Three years afterward, there was a child of Zeus who picked up the same traits as Hercules. Prideful, boastful, and an attention whore. His name was Thomas Knopps. He always had to be the best. Whenever we would be training in the arena, he would force one of the newer children to fight him. And instead, he would be stuck fighting me. As I was the instructor, and I told him to fight with someone that had the same amount of years as him. After defeating him for the tenth time in a row. The other campers became more, wary about me. Wherever I walked, they would move out of the way. Wherever I sat, they would move a good five feet away. I took it up with Chiron to find out what was going on. But I got the same results. This is when the Red Tears began to fall.
Four years in, the Red Tears and become noticeable, but no one took notice. The cabin leaders that didn't die in the war had decided to make a living in the mortal world. Travis and Connor started their own messenger business called, Premium Rush. Being in New york and the cars making it so slow, runners would bring the packages everywhere. Katie runs a National park. Clarisse is a professional boxer. Drew runs a hair salon. Malcolm runs an Architecture company. And many other campers using the abilities they got from their parents. I was one of the few who had to stay due to my demigod scent.
Five years in, Thomas got his first quest. This is where one of the Hesperides became a mortal like the rest of us. Her name was Mephyis. Tricked by Thomas to collect a single golden apple from the tree. He was crowned a Hero for being one of the few to return alive. He was treated like that for a day. The next was like any other. Mephyis and I were decent friends for the time she was around at camp. Until a lightning came down upon her for being a daughter of a Titan. And so the cycle continued.
And now here we are at the present. The Red Tears falling from both my eyes and wrists. Self hate evident in my eyes. A powerful self loathing and want for my own demise. This single choice shall end my days. For no longer shall I see the sun's rays. The Darkness forever creeping in my heart. Trying to connect the pieces that had been broken apart. Those were the last words I wrote before leaving behind a floor stained Red.
Hey guys what is happening. Deadly Thinking is somewhat here. So I wanted to get this first prologue out to get some feedback on it. And also to say, I have just been ignoring fanfiction for a while. I didn't even see Intertwined destines from Anuklusmos14. Well here are a few messages.
Blinding silence has been adopted. GalaxySurfer22 will be doing a great job.
My other stories are up for adoption except for Escape from Reality.
Finally, what I have been doing the last month, I am addicted to a game called Smite. If you want to try it out, go ahead, just add either DeadlyThinking or alternatetank as a friend cause dat is me. My fellow thinkers, I thank you for reading
Till next time,
