A surprise in the wilderness

The dracanae screamed as I put my sword through her, turning her to dust. I glared at the dust as it made its way to tartarus. Tartarus .

that place has been haunting since I left it .

it used to be handable when annabeth was with me. But now, I had no annabeth to soothe me down when I wake up screaming, searching desperately for her.

I still remember the moment I lost her, and everything I had , as if it just happened a few seconds ago.

I still remember the face that I had loved so much, the face that had made me into this, a nobody, with nothing left. I sighed sadly.

Forget her percy, she isn't yours anymore. She broke your heart. She isn't the annabeth you once had. i looked at my watch. It was 2 in the morning.

I didn't want to go to sleep and nor was I feeling sleepy ,but I know I have to . I scanned my surroundings as i prepared my camp.

Now you might be thinking why am I not staying at camp or at my mom's . well to answer the first, I would rather die than stay at camp and well thats what I am doing.

Thats the place where my heart was broken, broken so badly, that it's beyond repair.

Anyway, I had gone to mom's place but well, I had just stayed there for a day or two when monster started attacking. I couldn't let my mom or paul get hurt, so I left.

I had to leave without telling mom, cause I knew that if I told her , she might try to persuade me to stay.

But well what about posiedons palace you may ask, but well my so called dad has a son of around three, who is practising and getting trained down there in atlantis, and if I come there, mark, my brother will get discouraged when he gets to know he has such a powerful brother and won't learn to defend himself properly.

Yeah I know, silly excuse. So well, here I am in the wilderness, fighting alone, while all those whose asses I have saved in the last two wars are having fun.

I had considered taking help from one of my friends, grover or Jason, but feared getting turned down by them too. I sighed. Again.

I seemed to be doing that a lot nowadays. suddenly, I heard the leaves rustle behind me. I got up on instinct, with riptide in my hand.

Standing in front of me was a guy, in his middle twenties. To say that he radiated power would be an understatement. He radiated power that would make the Olympians look like crybabies.

"Oh lower down your sword, I do not want to fight, just wanna talk". "who are you" I asked. "well ,people call me chaos jr. As I have many of his powers.

And yeah he gave them to me when he was fading away" . I just stared blankly at him. " And now I do not wish to explain things any further so well sweet dreams" he said as I gave him a confused look.

As I blacked out, I could see the grin on his face. I just had one thought I my mind. 'what the heck is happening?'
