I do not in any way shape or form own the PJO or HOO series. this is simply a found poem I wrote.

Hopeless

The pit shook

Percy,

Only thing keeping her from falling.

Barely holding on

Nico

Over the edge

Thrusting out his hand,

Too far away to help

Hazel

Yelling for the others

If they heard her over all the chaos,

They'd never make it in time

Annabeth's leg pulling

She didn't have strength to fight

Too far down to be saved

"Percy, let me go,"

"You can't pull me up."

He knew it was hopeless.

"Never,"

He looked at Nico,

Fifteen feet above

"The other side"

"We'll see you there"

"Understand?"

"But—"

"Lead them there!"

"Promise me!"

"I—I will."

The voice laughed in the darkness

Sacrifices,

Beautiful sacrifices

To wake the goddess
