Chapter 1: The Voice Appears

Me: Hey guys! I am back with another chapter. So I'm beginning to notice that my chapters are really short and that's probably how it will be for the rest of this story. I'll try to update more to make up for it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson. Rick Riordan does but I do own the OCs.

Warning: Thoughts of suicide and mention of self harm.


I don't remember when it exactly started. I think it was two or three weeks after the war had ended. It started when I began to think about what happened over the years. I was useless when Leo sacrificed himself even if he came back and I couldn't do anything to stop Luke. There were so many things I failed at, like freeing Calypso and not saving Bianca. I started to cut and I made sure to heal myself with water so my friends didn't notice. Soon after, thoughts of suicide rang around. That's when the voice in my head appeared suddenly when I was contemplating suicide again.

'I'm useless. I could've done something,' I thought, looking at the gun in my hand.

I had gotten the gun a few days ago as a means to kill myself

'Such a disappointment,' a voice agreed.

'Who's there?' I thought, immediately on guard.

'I'm you. I'm all your dark thoughts that you have thought of over the years,' the voice replied.

'Well, that's all good and dandy but can you go away?' I thought.

'I can't. After all, I am you,' the voice said.

'Why are you here?' I questioned.

'To talk to you of course. You can't talk to your friends about your thoughts of suicide,' the voice replied.

'How did you know I was thinking about that?' I demanded.

'I am your darkest thoughts and feelings. I'm the one who manifested those thoughts,' the voice answered.

'What are you going to do then? Persuade me not to do it?' I questioned.

'Oh no, my dear self. I'm here to encourage you to do it,' the voice said.

'Well, don't get your hopes up because I won't do it,' I thought determinedly.

'Not now at least. But mark my words, you will die soon enough,' the voice replied

'I won't. I'll resist the temptation,' I thought.

'You might think that but your opinion will change pretty soon,' the voice replied.

'But not now. Go away,' I thought forcibly.

'I will for now but I'll be back,' the voice said before going quiet.

I breathed a sigh of relief. At least the voice was gone for now. I put the gun away and flopped onto my bed where I fell into nightmarish sleep.


And cut! So that's the origins of the mysterious voice in Percy's head. But is it really his darkest thought? Who knows! I haven't planned it out that far yet. For now though, I hope you enjoyed! Bye!
