Once upon a time, there was a boy who dared to dream.
He dreamt of being a hero, of being able to save those he loves and fight for the innocent.
He dreamt of finding a place where he belongs.
Then, one day, his wish started to come true.
He became a hero and found a place where he belonged.
His dream continued to come true.
He became the greatest hero to ever live, able to save those he loves and to fight for the innocent.
He found a place where he belonged, with people there who cared for him.
The boy who dared to dream was finally happy.
But one day, the boy who dared to dream started to scream and cry.
Everything was slipping away
The loved ones he fought to save left him behind.
The innocent started to turn against him.
The place where he belonged now shunned him.
They believed he was a traitor, though he did nothing but follow his dreams.
The boy who dared to dream was in danger now, sorrow was eating away his soul, pain and betrayal clouded his every thought.
Then, the day came when the boy who dared to dream had to make his final stand.
His loved ones and the innocent came after him, the place where he used to belong being their safe haven.
He did not raise a hand to defend himself.
When his loved ones and the innocent found out that the boy who dared to dream had committed none of the crimes he was accused of, they cried and guilt started to eat away at their soul.
But they were too late, the boy who dared to dream was gone.
Once upon a time, I dared to dream, but all it me was misery.
Hey everybody, this was just a quick one-shot I wrote. You know all of those stories where Percy is betrayed? Actually, ignore that question, we all have read or written one of those stories. Well, this one-shot is in a AU where Percy never finds a new home, and instead the people he loves kills him. Well, this is Percy thinking back on that. Thanks for reading everybody, my other stories will be updated soon (today). (: ~NikiD1233
