AN: Hey guys this is my first Percy Jackson only fanfic. I hope you people enjoy. Check out my youtube channel where I read fanfics. Anyways ENJOY!
Chapter 1.
Percy's POV:
Walking.
That is all I can really remember. It has been my life. That is all I can remember. For longer than I can remember, I have been walking. I only remember 2 other things. One Annabeth as she fell into Tartarus with me, along with her death that will always be a part of me.
And a dark shape of a giant person. Who had a booming voice before pain like I had never felt before. A pain that made being in the styx feel like a massage given by chaos herself.
But as always, when I think of that pain I have flashbacks.
FlashBack:
I can't believe it. Annabeth was dead. The love of my life, the person I devoted my life to, was dead, my soul felt like it was ripped out of my chest. Then shattered into a million peices. She survived the fall.
But when Arachne came back she got a lucky hit in and hit her in the Femoral Artery. She lived long enough to tell me a few things and a gift.
"Percy?" Annabeth said while bleeding out on the floor, gasping in pain. Eyes clouded over.
"Don't worry Annabeth. I'm here you're going to be fine." I said tears in my eyes. Because I knew that she wasn't. I may not be the smartest, but we were all taught first aid back in camp I knew the signs of a arterial cut. And this was one. The worst one possible. She only had 2 or 3 minutes left.
"Don't lie to me Seaweed Brain. I know that it hit the femoral artery. I am dieing. " She said. Even dieing she had a fire. A burning power and pure soul, like none I had ever seen.
She started to get up, pushing herself onto the elbows. Concerned I reached out and tried to push her down. But she just gave me a glare. One that I feared but loved at the same time.
"Percy. Don't make me waste anymore energy." as she got up onto her hands she lunged forward and kissed me. Surprising me.
"I just wanted to kiss you one last time." She said with eyes still clouded by pain, but now something else as well. It was … LOVE! Love for me love for her family, for her friends. Which we both know she wouldn't see again. She then fell back on the ground.
"Percy?"
"Yes?"
"Promise me… promise" She started to say but stopped mid way through to catch her breath because she was hyperventilating.
"Promise you what" I said confused.
"Promise me that you won't kill yourself just to be with me. Because we know that that won't work. You will go to the fields of punishment."
"I promise. I won't do that." I said as I began weeping. I was actually considering doing that. But I had decided not to because there were other people I loved. My mom mainly. Mr. Blofish, Nico, Chiron, Poseidon, Thalia, and the campers. I wasn't going to kill myself.
"Also promise me you won't hold on to me. You saw what happened to nico when he did. Let yourself love others. Not just me. I am a fleeting person in a world full of betters."
"Bu-u-t BUT I CAN'T!" I yelled. How could I ever love anyone else other than her. She was the one that was perfect for me. A person so well rounded, so smart, to counter my sharpness to counter my idiocy. I could never let go. And I would Never let go.
"I didn't say you had to forget. Just let me be a person that will be loved. But in memory. Let someone else feel the love that you hold in your heart. Because it is a pool so deep, that I nearly drowned in it. It is a ocean that rages on the top, but under the surface is calm and comforting, Like you. It is the best love anyone could have and that is something that I do not wish to have squandered." she said quietly as she was fading from the world of the living.
She then pushed her knife into my hands. "I hope it keeps you safe. And Percy. I will always love you."
With those words Annabeth died. In a place that she did not belong. In a way that should never of happened… In the darkness that shall never feel her light.
Third Person POV:
A scream was heard throughout tartarus. But not the scream of a monster or a damned soul. It was a scream of torment like none ever heard. It was a scream of insanity, of darkness, of a light being corrupted by the dark. But not a dark that Nyx, and Erebus could create. It was the darkness that had existed before the universe, before even Chaos. It was the void, the abyss. And at that moment Nyx felt a bending of shadows that was not of her control. Then heard the scream and knew that a evil like no other had been released.
And as Nyx felt the shadows moving towards the evil. Tartarus felt the evil itself from it. He felt fear. He had felt true fear only once before, and that was when he was with his mother Chaos. And that was when she was angry at him for allowing others to live inside of him.
The presence he felt was far more powerful than that. It had enough power to destroy him like a bug. It was something that he had never experienced before. It was pure evil.
Chaos's POV:
I felt a presence that I have not felt since I was created. A evil, a sickness, of the darkest power in side of the purest soul. The evil that rules all. Even me. But instead of being worried I smiled.
"Percy Jackson." I started whispering. "You are now going to have to pass tests unknow. But if you come out of it alive. You will have the darkness but, it will be controlled by your light."
