My face was pale and full of fear when I got back to the ' Argo II'. I had opened up the fortune cookie and I had payed the price. This couldn't have happened. They couldn't be gone they just couldn't. '' This isn't your fault,'' Hazel had said full with sympathy but she knew it wasn't true.

I wanted to scream out in anger knowing that we were all probably going to die because of me. The romans were out to Camp Half-blood and there was going to be war. There wouldn't be truce. He knew he was the one to be blamed.

''I told you my sweet, revenge always comes with a price,'' cackled Nemisis inside my head.

'' SHUT UP!'' I screamed. My head throbbed with a migraine. I wish I could hear Annabeth's bossy voice telling me what to do. I wanted to hear Percy's voice when he was giving us instructions on how not to die but to survive.

At that moment I was bawling out tears. For a guy who didn't cry I was sobbing my life out. I remembered about my mom and how she had died in that fire. I remembered about Festus and how he had died in that snow storm so long ago. I remembered how I felt almost everyday, alone. Only to run away from fear. The way I felt when I woke up. Like somebody had punched me and left me with a pit feeling in my stomach.
