Annabeth helped Chiron as they rolled Percy's lifeless body onto his horse back. Annabeth stroked Percy's hair and walked in front of Chiron. They walked down the road that led to Half Blood Hill. "I can't believe it." Annabeth said. Her eyes were glued to her feet, which were kicking a rock. She couldn't look up, she couldn't look at Chiron, and she most certainly couldn't look towards the sun, as if the was some hope, like they always did in the movies. She couldn't even look at Percy. She did once and failed to choke back a sob. "I always thought that we'd always be- I don't know. Safe? Together? A-alive? Something. Oh gods, what do I tell Tyson. Or Sally, or his dad, or anyone? What do I say? What do I do? I'll just plan everything. His funeral, everything. I'll drive to Sally's house and tell her. . ." Annabeth trailed off.

"If doing everything makes you feel better then. . . alright." Chiron said.

They walked up the hill. Annabeth didn't want to go up the hill. She didn't want to walk through the gate. She didn't want to see everyone's happy faces fade away when they saw Percy. Their favorite hero. Their best friend. Their. . . everything. The only person at camp that hated Percy was Clarisse. . . but that doesn't matter.

Everyone was outside. Some were playing sports, some were tanning, and some were playing tag. It was a beautiful day. At least for now. Tyson say them. He ran up to them. "Why is brother on pony?" he asked.

"Tyson-I-I need to tell you something." Annabeth tried. Tyson ran past her and started poking Percy.

"Percy asleep?" he asked the lifeless body. Chiron just stood there, feeling a bit awkward.

"Tyson-uh-"

"Percy!" Tyson shouted in his ear. "Wake up, brother!"

"Tyson he's dead!" she finally shouted. Everyone stared at her. It was all too much. She didn't mean to shout but she didn't know how to put it to Tyson. Tyson quickly backed away from Percy and covered his eyes to hide his tears. Chiron set Percy on the ground. Everyone gasped.

"I hated the little sucker but I-I didn't wanna see him die. . ." Clarisse said, pushing to the front of the crowd that had formed. Some Apollo kids pushed through the crowd with a gurney. They loaded Percy's body onto it.

"Keep him in the infirmary for a while. For me?" Annabeth asked one of the Apollo kids. He nodded. Annabeth turned around and Grover was sitting next to Percy playing one of his tunes on his reed pipes. "It's no use, Grover." she told him.

"It was worth a try." He stood up and hugged her. "I'm so sorry Annabeth."

Annabeth had found her car on the side of the road. She was going to Sally's house to tell her about what had happened. A million thoughts rushed through Annabeth's mind. She thought of the design of Percy's shroud. She thought of the arrangement of the funeral. She laughed at her thoughts of Percy. "I'm so sorry Annabeth." Grover had said.

As Annabeth came to a realization she drifted off into the other lane on the road. She was hit head on by another car. Annabeth's head got hit by the steering wheel, but she didn't care. "The empathy link!" she said, like she was nuts. "If Percy's dead, then Grover should be but he's not! Percy's alive. . ."


"I love you Thalia." Nico said. They were still nose to nose, holding each other.

"I love you too." she giggled. She had never felt this way. So vulnerable. So girly.

"Kill him." Artemis said to Zendaya, one of her huntresses. Artemis was sitting in her tent. She was watching Thalia from her t.v. "How dare he! How dare her! She took a sacred oath to stay away from boys, let alone kiss them! Ugh. That prince of death will pay. Do whatever it takes. Turn him to a antelope and eat him, as long as he's dead! And let it be none to Thalia that she is now an ex-huntress and a sworn enemy of Artemis."
