I don't own characters blah blah blah Hyperion and Rick Riordian do

Chapter 2

POV: NICO

PLACE: OLYMPUS

Percy didn't deserve this. In fact, he was the last person that this should happen to. He was literally just offered immortality by Zeus himself. I looked up from Percy's body, and saw Annabeth sobbing. "Annabeth, I..." I truly didn't know how to comfort her, but I tried. "Annabeth, I... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I stood up and walked around to her. I tried to put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her, and got a knife in the arm in return. I yelped. "What in Hades was that for?!" "Sorry, I... I just..." She started sobbing again. I heard footsteps. "WE'RE HERE! OVER HERE!"

POV: ANNABETH

PLACE: OLYMPUS

I wanted this to be a dream. No, not a dream, a nightmare. But it wasn't. I could feel Percy's body getting colder and colder by the minute, and she had felt Nico's hand as he tried to calm me. I started to hug the body. I cried harder than I ever have before. "WHERE?" Poseidon ran into the clearing. "No. This can't be. WHO?" I stopped hugging Percy and pointed at the sword. Other Gods started to fill the clearing. "Hermes. He did this. To my son." He grabbed the sword, walked to Apollo, and shoved it in his hands. "Remember this!?" He walked over to Percy and knelt beside him. "Sally..." I had forgotten about her. I immediately felt ashamed I had. Poseidon picked up Percy's body and carried him to the elevator, with a look of sadness on his face. I got up and walked next to him and grabbed Percy's limp hand. We walked into the elevator and pressed the down button. That was the longest ride I ever had in that elevator. The doors opened, we walked out. Sally looked happy, until she saw our faces. "Where's Perc..." She saw the body Poseidon was holding. "Oh, Gods, this can't be happening." She ran up to her sons body. "But, the blue..." "This happened after the battle. There has been treason among the Gods." Poseidon said.

POV: NICO

PLACE: EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

The other Gods started stepping out of the elevator. Apollo walked over to me, still holding the bloody sword. He started to work healing magic on my arm. "What did Poseidon mean, remember this?" "This used to be mine, I gave it to Hermes when he was young." "Oh." Sally looked away from Percy's body and looked at the sword Apollo was holding. "You did this!" "No, Sally, that's Hermes' sword." "Oh." I walked over to Hades. "Dad." "Yes. I know it's starting." "Everyone, the trial is starting. I'm guaranteeing him Esylum, but it may be the last time you see him. Anyone who wants to come, can. Sally, I'll take you directly, if that's okay with..." "Yes." Poseidon said. "Annabeth?" I asked.

POV: ANNABETH

PLACE: UNDERWORLD

Nico, Sally, Hades and I were the first ones there. Percy and I had been to the underworld before, in this very room, feeling sorry for the souls. But now he was one of those souls. "I remember when we were here the first time. We broke in, thinking your dad had a part to play with the theft of Zeus' lightning bolt." I told Nico. "You broke into the Underworld?!" "Well, yeah." When was that?" "First time he was at camp." "Here he comes." Percy's soul walked into the room. I started to cry, and Nico went to put his hand on my shoulder. But as soon as he touched me, Percy looked right at us. "Uhhhh, Dad?" Nico said. " Is that supposed to happen?" "No." The god replied. "But then...?" I don't know son." "YOU don't know?!"

Hope you liked it! Stay tuned for the next chapter as I figure out a BS way for percy to look over at Nico. :)
