Guess who's back? Back again? Percy's back. Tell a friend! Not only is Percy back but so is Orion. Now let's get this party started!
"Seaweed Brain why are we going into the woods?" Annabeth asked me as I led her deeper into the forest.
"You'll see." I kept saying.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, something I was used to but still made my heart run when she smiled afterwards.
My heart should be bursting out of my chest with what I'm about to ask Annabeth.
I'm going to ask her to marry me!
My hand kept finding it's way to my pocket where the ring was, I had to call in a big favor to the Big Three for this.
Poseidon had fashioned the ring itself with an amazing stunning green-blue kelp.
Hades had summoned the purest and most beautiful diamond that you could possibly think of, being the god of wealth and all.
Zeus had struck the diamond with his personal lightning bolt, so lightning arced inside the white diamond.
I was sweating up a storm by the time we reached Bunker 9 and hopefully Annabeth didn't notice.
"Percy, why are you sweating so much?" Annabeth asked with a look of concern.
Shit!
"Um...let's just get inside and I'll explain everything." I said as I opened the door to the nearly pitch black room.
Annabeth still looked worried but walked in.
"Why is it so dark?" she asked.
I turned on the lights and the entire room revealed the entirety of both Camp Half-blood and Camp Jupiter.
"Whoa!" Annabeth exclaimed seeing the large number of people in the bunker.
"Surprise Annabeth." I said with a chuckle.
Annabeth turned to me with a confused look.
"Why did you throw me this?" she asked.
"Wow you ask a lot of questions." I said with a chuckle.
"I'm the curious one, I ask the questions." Annabeth said with a smirk.
"Mind if I ask a question?" I asked.
"You can think?" Annabeth said with a fake shocked look.
I smiled amused as I pulled her close.
"Annabeth..." I started in a whisper.
I got down on one knee and pulled out the ring.
Annabeth gasped as she stared at the ring.
"Will you marry me?" I asked more nervous than anything.
It felt like thirty years had passed but only about three seconds passed.
"YES!" Annabeth screamed with tears in her eyes.
I was more happy then the god of happiness as she said that.
I pulled her into a long kiss as every single person in the bunker cheered and applauded.
All of my friends came up and swarmed me and Annabeth in a hug.
"You did it Percy!" Grover said.
"Way to go!" Jason and Piper said holding hands.
"Kelp head finally got a brain!" Peter Sane (My OC) said.
I hit Peter in the head and he just laughed loudly.
Annabeth kissed my cheek and I couldn't stop smiling.
"You better throw a celebration as good as this or better Sparky!" Piper said to Jason who paled and looked at all the decorations and food.
"Same with you Insane!" Reyna said to Peter.
"Only the best for my Warhead!" Peter said as he pulled Annabeth into a big hug.
"Congrats Wise Girl." Peter said.
"Thanks!" Annabeth said constantly looking down at her ring.
I was crying tears of joy along with Annabeth.
"Oh Percy? I need to talk to you." Peter said as he grabbed my shoulder and steered me to a quiet area.
Reyna was with us along with Chiron.
"What's up? Kinda want to spend time with my fiance." I said with a huge grin.
The three instantly dropped their smiles and had a look of panic.
"Are you okay guys?" I asked.
"We have some bad news." Reyna said.
"More like devastating." Peter muttered before getting bitch slapped by his girlfriend.
"Guys what's wrong?" I insisted.
Chiron walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Percy..." he started.
I looked into his eyes and I something that I rarely ever saw in the great trainer of heroes.
Fear.
I waited with a breath hoping nothing big was happening.
"Orion has returned." Chiron finished.
I gasped wide eyed.
"And he means to harm the Seven." Peter added.
I looked over at my blushing fiance as more people came up to congratulate her.
"And something tells me that he will attack the ones that are the happiest." Chiron said.
I almost cried as I thought this through.
"Maybe we can.." I started before an explosion rang through the bunker and the forest.
Reyna and Peter looked at each other.
"That sounded like.." she started.
"...it came from camp." Peter finished.
Peter summoned his armor and weapons.
"Fifth and Fourth Cohort! With me!" Peter ordered and ran out the bunker with Reyna and about sixty heavily armored soldiers.
I started forward but Chiron stopped me.
"We cannot risk you or the Seven." Chiron said.
Another explosion, much closer this time, went off.
Everyone that remained in the bunker drew weapons.
Suddenly a scream pierced the air.
Reyna was screaming.
I broke free of Chiron's grip and ran out the door with every camper behind me.
Fires were breaking through in a large amount of the forest.
We followed the screams until we found Reyna, laying on the ground holding a demigod.
The demigod appeared to be dead, Reyna rocked him back and forth and cried into his hair.
His blonde hair!
I ran over to Reyna and, unfortunately, my horrors were right.
Reyna was cradling a broken demigod, but not just any demigod.
She was cradling Peter.
