For Once United

Chapter One: The Fallen Warrior

Percy's Point of View

Ah, the streets of Manhattan. What a beautiful place to be. The sink of the road, the cursing drivers. Especially those huge monsters chasing you. You see, I was just minding my own business, killing a couple of monsters when this goddamn horde showed up. Sorry, Godsdamn. Let's back up. I am Percy Jackson. That's right the son of sea god. you think this life is awesome? You think that being able to morph water at your will and killing bloodthirsty monsters are cool? Well you might be the most stupidest person I ever met. Today I was out kidnapping a couple of demigods to be sent to Camp Half blood. And to you who think I meant that jokingly, well you're wrong. Their parents are okay with it (mortal and immortal.) Some are sad their children are leaving a giving nest to go into a world of mortal danger, but still they let them go (anything to get rid of them I say.) The children on the other hand face me and others with downright hostility. Let me give you a piece of advice. Never, EVER, try to help an Aphrodite girl try to pack her clothes. I still can't sit down right. Today I made a big hit. 5 friends, all demigods. Well kind of. There was a 16 year old boy whose father was Poseidon. And his younger sister of 12 who was a daughter of Athena. The others were about the same age. They were Hecate, Hades (he finally came out of the closet and married an undertaker. The girl kind, not the… whatever), and an unknown. We went through the streets of Manhattan and got near my Porsche. My stepdad gave it to me for an 18 birthday present.

"Step into my golden chariot" I gestured to the inside of the car.

"Um, are we going to fit in there?" The son of Poseidon, Mark asked. I had asked Leo and the other Hephustes kids to fix my ride so I could have it like Chiron's wheelchair. In this case the Porsche is a limousine on the inside.

"Yes you can fit in there." I laughed. "Brother, you first." the boys all looked at me as if I dropped an A-bomb on them.

"That's right I forgot to tell you! Mark you're my brother, get in there." I saId quickly. Now Mark looked at me as if I dropped an A-bomb on him, then rolled him over with a tank. I sighed and grabbed the scruff of his neck throwing him in the car. The rest piled in not wanting to go the way Mark did. An arrow whizzed over my head.

"Not again." I sighed. I took out Riptide my sword/pen and ran toward the threat. There was one of those snake ladies, uh what were they called? I was never good wit names. I chopped her right in half easily. There was a rumble. A horde of monsters were running toward me. There were telekhines, snake ladies, and was I seeing double? There were two Minotaurs. I ran to the car.

"Mark! You're 16 right?" I screamed.

"Well I-"

"Good, here you go." I tossed him the keys and ran. I feel bad leaving him alone with the burden of four demigods, but if they make it, I will tell everyone at camp about his courage. I was not abandoning them, no I was taking the monsters attention away from them. Luckily it worked. An arrow pierced my shoulder.

"AAAAHHH!" I screamed. But still I ran. My vision went blurry, I took out the arrow, I was nearing Brooklyn now. The river! That's were I'll go! I hopped in the murky, disgusting water. It worked a little bit but still not the best. I propelled myself to the other side of the river. Some thing made me go to the east of the river. There was an abandoned warehouse there. My footsteps slowed. I was dragging my feet now. NOOO! I pulled my head up, and ran. I came to a warehouse. I ripped the garage door. I climbed inside. This is were I die. This is my last stand. I will fight here. Inside the warehouse. my breath came more evenly now. I sat down. Let me rest. My eyes were closing. NOO. I snapped awake. I thought of Annabeth. No I had to stay awake. I couldn't. I had to remember! Her curly blond hair, her stormy gray eyes, her soft lips. I remembered that night on the beach. Our first official date. When I came back from Calypso's island. Her teary eyes. She was thinking about me. The ring was heavy in my pocket. I felt a presence above me. Blond hair. Blue eyes. I chanted a Greek funeral prayer as she and another picked me up from there.

"Annabeth" I murmured.
