Alright here goes nothing…
Chapter 1
Percy's POV
7 years earlier…
A life of eternal pain and punishment…
Nemesis's words echoed in my head.
you must make the most selfless sacrifice to end Gaea's rein…
She had told me this only days ago. The goddess said that there will come a time where I will have to choose whether or not to sacrifice myself to stop Gaea. I wouldn't really "die" exactly. Well, I would but my soul would suffer "eternal pain and punishment" till the end of the world or something like that. I had been terrified those last few days and it made me sick to think about leaving my family and friends…to think about leaving Annabeth. I didn't tell anyone about my conversation with Nemesis. I couldn't let them carry my burden.
So here I stood fighting off Gaea's army of monsters and giants. I slashed through a nearby hellhound. I still couldn't shake the feeling that I would have to make my decision soon. That these were my last moments.
I looked around at my surroundings. Jason was flying on Tempest at the top of the chasm fighting off some anemoi thuellai, or venti in latin. He looked like he was about to drop dead from exhaustion. Piper was on the ground with Leo battling a bunch of telekhines and empousa. Frank was in the form of a dragon with Hazel charging on a hoard of hyperborean giants. I looked next to me expecting to see Annabeth but she wasn't there!
I started to panic, thinking a monster had-Oh gods…what if? no. Annabeth couldn't be dead. She couldn't! A familiar scream interrupted my thoughts, and I searched for the source of the sound. There at the edge of the chasm Gaea was awake and in physical form fighting Annabeth!
"ANNABETH!" I screamed.
She locked eyes with me for a split second and Gaea took this chance to knock her off balance. Annabeth fell with a thud and hit her head on a nearby rock. Gaea stepped forward to make the final blow.
The world seemed to slow down as I remembered the potion and knife Nemesis gave me.
Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess…
And a beautiful sacrifice to put her to sleep…
I knew what to do. There wasn't a doubt in my mind. I would not let Annabeth die. Never. I quickly took out the vial, opened it up and chugged down the rancid liquid. I unsheathed the blade from my strap, looked back at Annabeth's horror stricken face, and plunged the knife into my abdomen.
The world shuddered and I faintly heard Gaea shriek. My knees buckled and everything started to grow darker. I took one last gaze at Annabeth and her beautiful grey eyes and curly honey blonde hair. I took a shaky breath and choked out my last words.
"I'm sorry Wise Girl, I love you."
Okey! please tell me what you think about it. I know it's pretty depressing for the first chapter, but I'll have the next chapter in Annabeth's POV asap! This is my first chapter so please don't be too mean. Although, constructive criticism is appreciated. whelp…review…um…whatever…k bye.
