Annabeth's Perspective

It's been 12 years. 12 years since the seven defeated Gaea. 12 years without another quest to worry about.

And 12 years since Percy's death.

I still can't believe that he's gone… I never thought that he would be gone. I had promised myself that I would keep him safe, but I ended up breaking that promise… He died saving us all. He died saving the world. He died as a hero.

I quit working up at Olympus after Percy's death… I just couldn't handle it anymore. I started working at a middle school after his death. It kind of reminds me of us when we were younger. Of when we first met. Of when he was alive…

I shake my head. I can't think about all this right now. Today was the last day of school, and I just had to fake one more smile. I take a deep breath and start to head back to my class.

The school I was teaching at, was a mix of boys and girls, which I was okay with. I would always try my best to see if I could spot any demigods. I hadn't seen any demigods this year, not in my class anyway. I was right about to open the door to my class when I hear shouts from my left. Boys, shouting.

"All right!" I said "What are you guys shouting about?" I walk towards where the shouts had come from. Three boys are standing right in front of me. I know 2 of them. They're both in my class. They both had black hair and very dark brown eyes. But then I look at the third kid…

No, no, no! It can't be him. That would be impossible! Well, not really… but he wouldn't…

I take a deep breath, and look at the boy again. The one with the jet black hair and the sea green eyes that I would never forget.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! I will be posting more chapters soon! Don't forget to review! 3
