Percy POV

I would have never thought that Nico and I would die like this, basically murdered by my best friend/ girlfriend, and an evil doppelganger. Hang on sorry I have time to elaborate while we wait in line to be judged by Minos.

Flashback

You know what I hate about guard duty, Chiron thinks that because I am "strong" he can just make me guard the barrier alone. This would be a lot more fun with Annabeth, my girlfriend, or another one of my friends but right now I am glad they aren't because in front of me rose out of the ground a guy who looked exactly like me and he said,

"Perseus Jackson, I am Gaea and I am going to rid the world of you so I can take over the world and smite the Olympians with my giant children." then he pulled out a replica of riptide and charged me. In a split second I had out my riptide and was blocking 'his' flurry of strikes that kept coming like there was no tomorrow but swift as the wind 'he' kicked me in the chest knocking the wind out of me and my sword clattered over in front of the now noticed Annabeth I tried in vain to crawl over to 'Riptide' but Annabeth had her foot on top of it and I was to weak at the moment to pull it from under her. So I wheezed out,

"Annabeth give me the sword I need to kill the enemy," she just looked at me and said,

"No you're not my seaweed brain you are an impostor." At those words I started tearing up my wise girl didn't even know it was me so I cried out,

"I thought my own girlfr-" I was cut off as I felt an unbearable pain through my mortal point and I looked up to see Annabeth had backbiter in the small of my back and then the impostor came over and stabbed me through the heart.

"I'm not your girlfriend! You are an impostor my boyfriend is behind you." She yelled. My eyes widened here i was and my own girlfriend not recognizing me. Then everything started to fade to black... and I knew I was already dead.

When I awoke I was in the same place with everybody around me doing the same thing they were when I died then I heard someone clear their throat and I looked around me when I spotted a tall pale African American man with a cloak and black angel wings and a long silver scythe. I asked,

"Where am I? And who are you?" He just nodded his head at my body and when I looked at it, it was transparent and he said, I am Thanatos and you are dead I am sorry to say this but everyone thinks that you were my aunt's impostor. See over there the impostor is comforting Annabeth but if we stick around you might see something surprising." So we stood there for a second then out of the shadow of the tree next to Annabeth Nico jumped out and stabbed the imposter and dirt came out. Annabeth jumped up and started yelling at Nico for stabbing 'me' but before Nico could explain himself he had "riptide" through his heart. And then he was dead. Gaea had ended his life too.

Then Thanatos started speaking again, "you see I came here to kill two birds with one stone, come on follow me." When we got to Nico he noticed me and hugged me and said, "We are dead huh."

"Yup," I responded to him. Then the scene changed and here we are waiting in line to be judged.
