Live like there's no tomorrow

Chapter 1

-Annabeth's POV-

we were at the Olympus, standing in front of the gods. I was going to design the new Olympus any way I wanted, a dream come true. It was Percy's turn to get his reward. I watched him walk up to the gods, his messy hair extra messy, his dirty shirt stained with blood but that didn't change anything, I still loved him.

"If you wish," began Zeus, "we can turn you in to a god."

I thought of Percy as a god, not able to be with me. Suddenly all of my pain came back, the stabbing pain in my shoulder was harder then ever and my legs became unstable. Grover caught me before I could fall. Percy looked at me, I covered my eyes so that he would not see the tear rolling down my cheek, I didn't want him to turn down this opportunity because of me. As long as he is happy, I'll suck it up.

-Percy's POV-
a god…what was it like to be a god…

"Well?" asked Zeus, losing his patience.
I looked at Annabeth, she covered her eyes. I knew if I became a god I will never be able to be with her forever, and I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. I looked at Poseidon, my father, and then at Zeus and I made up my mind.

"No," I said. Everyone looked at me with disbelief, "no thank you, I…I have a different wish." Annabeth smiled, I love her smile, her laugh, her…

"Why, Percy, do you not want to become a god?" asked Athena, looking at Annabeth, I had a feeling she knew why. "Athena, he said he had a different wish." Answered Poseidon instead of me. I think my father also knew why, "well son, what is your wish?" asked Poseidon.

"Luke, Ethan, all of the half-bloods who don't know who their parent is," I began, I was going to fulfill Luke's last wish, "they feel scared, alone and they get mad at all of you," I gestured to all of the gods around me, "I want you all to tell your children, who you are, send them to the camp and show that you care. All of the children of all of the gods," I looked around, "that was Luke's last wish and now it is mine," I finished.

Hermes ran out of the room, Aphrodite was crying, she said that was the most emotional thing someone ever said, except for `I love you`. So Aphrodite…

"I—"began Zeus but was cut off by Poseidon, "Percy, you saved the Olympus, we all owe you." "Big time," agreed Apollo. "That is why from now on we will declare our children" said Poseidon, "if there is anyone who disagrees, shall speak now or never again." Apollo, Artemis and Aphrodite's hands were not even close to rising an inch over their arm rest. Apollo winched at me, he was my favorite, except for my father. For a second I thought Zeus's hand will rise up, but after all of the looks he was given by Poseidon and Demeter he changed his mind.

"Ding ding ding, we have a winner!" exclaimed Apollo in his happy, confident voice, "I—I – mean, um, it has been decided, Percy, your wish has been granted." I don't know what made Apollo stop talking slang, a form of speech the rest of the gods didn't like that much, although I think it had something to do with the deadly looks Ares was sending his way, the kind of look that said, 'if you don't stop I will tear you in to pieces'.

"The titans aren't gone forever, Oceanus, atlas, and Morpheus are still out there," Zeus said reminding me that all I did was make them disappear for sometime or send them in to hiding.

-Annabeth's POV-

Clarisse ran in to the room with Conner and Chris behind her. Ares approached his daughter and embraced her in a hug. "What's wrong?" asked Ares noticing the frightened look on her face. "Camp…Katie…I…I tried…" said Clarisse, out of breath. "What happened to my daughter?" asked Demeter concerned.

"It's…its Atlas…" whispered Clarisse.

there was a moment of silence. my feet felt unbalanced again, i held on to Percy and Grover. i need to get to camp, i need to fight, i thought. "I'll give you guys a ride," said Apollo reading my mind.

we left the Olympus and got in to Apollo's sports car that took off in the sky. the ride was silent, we were all to shocked to talk. as we hit the ground i saw 2 figures i was longing to see, "Silena!" i cried, i ran past the boarder and in to the camp, i hugged her but i didn't feel her, she was dead, i reminded myself.
