Percy's POV:

I will not let Gaea win, I kept repeating to myself. Even with the gods help, there is a LOT of giants. I never thought that this would be so hard.

I heard Athena telling us to avert our eyes, so that's what I did. After the all clear went out, I turned toward Annabeth just as she said, "Watch out!"

All of a sudden, a searing pain shot up my chest. I looked down to see a sharp point sticking out of my torso. My vision turned red and the last thing I saw was Annabeth running toward me, tears streaming down her face. Then, everything went black.

Annabeth's POV:

Having Athena next to me was the only good thing about fighting the giants. I hated Gaea. "Close your eyes!" Athena screamed suddenly. I looked away and smiled, knowing that the fight was over.

I smiled over at Percy and saw a giant scorpion-like thing rise out of the Earth and raise it stinger over Percy. My smile melted, as the gears turned in my head. "Watch out!" I yelled as loud as I could, without thinking.

Everybody turned toward me, but I knew it was too late. I watched helplessly as the scorpion pierced Percy's chest.

Poseidon's POV:

I heard that girl, Annabeth yell watch out and everybody turned toward her. I didn't know who or what she was talking to. I followed her gaze and saw my favorite son, crumpling to the ground.

I looked behind him and saw a giant scorpion, its stinger raised. My anger took over, and in a millisecond, it was dead.

I swung around to Percy and put my hand around Annabeth's shoulder, as she was silently sobbing. Everyone knelt down about but I didn't notice.

Oh, I thought to myself, what am I going to tell Sally?

Annabeth's POV:

The Fates came up to me and nodded. What does that mean?! I wanted to scream. I felt a slight movement in my hands and looked down.

Percy's eyes fluttered open. I gasped. I was overjoyed, but I also knew this must be impossible. "Annabeth" he said, his voice shaking. "I love you. Tell Nico that…I'm sorry. That I know he still holds a grudge against me. "Dad, tell mom that I love her and that she should marry Paul. And guys?" he turned toward the rest of the group, "It was an honor to travel here with you and I hope that you don't hate me right now."

And with that he fell limp. So I kissed him right then and there. So that he would remember that as his last memory. "I love you too, Seaweed Brain." I whispered.
