Every day, Percy Jackson cried himself to sleep.
Sometimes, he would cry for all of those broken promises he had made. The promise to keep her safe, the promise to stay with her forever, and the promise that they would both live, live to be married, and have kids.
Other times, he would cry for all the people he had lost. All the people who he would never, ever, see again.
But, every single day, Percy cried because he remembered. He remembered that piercing scream of pain, in the voice that he had heard so many times.
The voice that he had laughed with, talked with, and listened to. The voice that came from the soft lips he had brushed with his own, and pecked his cheek every day.
Percy cried because every day, he remembered her mangled body, gushing blood into the dark soil. He remembered running to her, destroying anything that dared stand in his way.
He remembered kneeling down, begging her to stay with him, to stay alive, anything. He remembered brushing strands of matted, tangled blond hair from a face covered in cuts and bruises.
He remembered those deep gray eyes, staring into his, and he knew what she was saying, not with her mouth, but with her heart.
She said, I love you. Forever. Then, her beautiful gray eyes closed, and her head lolled. Percy had caught her lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.
He remembered being alone in the crowd that had led him away, away from his love and joy.
Every day, Percy remembered his precious, precious, Annabeth.
After a while, his grief and sadness turned into anger, anger at himself for failing to save Annabeth, and anger at everyone else for taking him away from her body.
Then, his anger turned into determination. Determination to get revenge, and avenge her death.
Then he could die, and go to the Underworld and reunite with her. They would go to Elysium, and he would do anything she wanted.
Now, Percy no longer cried at night. Oh, he still remembered, but his memories only fueled his determination.
Now, at night, he devised a plan. A plan that would definitely kill him, but a plan that would get him revenge.
