All is lost

Percy's pov

It has been many months since the giant war ended and I defeated Gaia. The camp has really changed over these past few months. The camp has built more cabins and a prison, to hold the demigods that were against the gods in the titan and giant war. But that is the past, and the past is the past. But not for me, I have done something horrible something that I didn't intend to do.

It happened many years ago, but because of this event it led me to the most amazing things

Flashback: few days ago

Every night the guard for the prison would change. Tonight I was guarding the prison. It was the middle of the night when screaming came from inside the camp. I sighed and went into the prison to see what was going on. I walked down each hall and checked each cell. Most of the prisoners were sleeping. But when I got to the last cell I found a demigod screaming his head off.

"Hey shut it." I told the demigod

The demigod looked at me and smiled. "Finally I get some attention from you Percy Jackson."

I scowled. "What do you want?"

"I want to tell you a secret Percy Jackson. One that I'm sure you should hear."

"What kind of secret?"

The demigod smiled. "You know you're pretty little girl friends, the daughter of Athena."

"What about her?" I asked. This demigod was starting to get on my nerves.

"She comes in here once in a while with another boy, a son of hades. I think his name was Nico DiAngelo. I swear on the river Styx."

"What" I shouted. I stormed off. I summoned up a mist and threw a drachma in. "O Iris goddess of rainbows show me Nico DiAngelo at camp half-blood hades cabin." The mist shimmered and I saw a sleeping figure of Nico. "Nico!" I shouted.

Nico jumped to his feet and wildly looked around. Then he saw the Iris message. Nico smiled. "Hey Perce what's up?"

"Nico I need you to come to the Prison. It's an emergency and uh don't tell anyone." I quickly said.

Nico looked a bit confused. "Uh sure I'll be there soon."

I swiped my hand through the iris message.

A few minutes later Nico walked out of the shadows. "So Perce what's the emergency?"

I nod. "Yes follow me." Nico and I walked down to the hall to the last cell. As we walked I explained to him the events that happened.

When we stopped Nico glared at me with horror. "Perce it's not what you think I swear."

I grew angry. "Don't lie to me Nico he swore on the river Styx."

"Percy believe me I didn't… I wouldn't…"

"You liar" I shouted. I remember reaching into my pocket and everything blacked out. When I came back to reality all the cells doors were open, the prison was littered with bodies and the floor was coated in blood. I looked and found myself holding riptide in my blood covered hands. The blade was covered in blood. I looked down and saw Nico, bloody and lifeless.

This was creepy, but the creepiest part was I could feel myself smiling. Throughout the halls I could hear the echo of a running horse. I looked up and saw Chiron standing a little further down the hall. His face was full of horror as he looked around. "Percy what have you done?"

I looked down my hands, clothes and weapon again and my faced filled horror. "I…I don't know… I don't know." I whisper.

Chiron slowly approached me. "Percy come with me." I stepped back from him. "Percy this is out of my control we must go to Olympus."

"No." I shouted as Chiron reached out to me. "Stay away from me." I swung my sword out just to keep him away. If I did this I didn't want him to be anywhere near me, I could hurt him. But my blade made contact with Chiron's chest. There was now a deep gash in Chiron's chest and it was gushing blood. I backed up to the wall as I watched Chiron bleed out, Chiron stared at me shocked.

I quickly ran to Chiron's side. Dear gods what have I done. I thought to myself. "Chiron… I didn't mean to, it was an accident, Chiron I'm sorry."

Chiron made one step forward and hit the alarm on the wall before he collapsed.

I gasped and ran as fast as I could out of the prison and back to my cabin. I quickly pack my items and ran. I ran past the camp borders, Thalia's tree, and disappeared into the night. As I ran past Thalia's tree I squeezed my eyes shut. I have to leave, I have no choice, what will they think if they saw the place, what would they think if they saw me.

Flashback end:

I learned so much after this, so many secrets. But in this process I lost everything I cared about, all because of the Olympians. Ever since that day I have thought about what I should do. Should I go to Olympus and explain to them what happened or should I keep running.

But then one day it hit me. My father didn't try to come help me when that happened and Annabeth… oh Annabeth she didn't listen to me. In my dreams I saw the events that unfolded that night and all it brought was pain.
