Katie

December 15th, 2009

I never knew Percy Jackson that well. He was the Savior of Olympus, he completed a bunch of heroic quests, but I never really knew him personally.

The one real memory I have of Percy is during a game of Capture the Flag.

"Katie," He said. "I need you to take your cabin and distract the guards."

"Wouldn't you rather the Apollo cabin did that?" I asked. "They can bother them from afar."

"Trust me," He said. "You guys can do it."

He was right. We won that game. Percy was a friend to everyone, even those who didn't know him well.

I've been saying he was all these things because he's missing. And he has been for two days.

Annabeth, his girlfriend is frantic. She's looked everywhere for him. She has everyone searching for him. She's sure we'll find him.

The rest of us aren't so sure. For all we know he could be dead. No one has said that to Annabeth though.

Annabeth went to the Great Canyon today, on a lead that she thought could find Percy. He wasn't there though.

She found three demigods. A Daughter of Aphrodite, a Son of Hephaestus, and strangest of all a Son of Zeus. They are all around fifteen and should have been already claimed.

Does this have something to do with the gods withdrawing to Olympus?

December 17th, 2009

All three of the new demigods are leaving on a quest today to free Hera. Annabeth's leaving to search for Percy.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm feeling useless.

Katie closed the diary. It was funny that all she thought about these days was Percy and Annabeth. She barely knew either of them.

"Katie," Her sister, Miranda called. "Time for breakfast."

"Coming," She said.

Eight months later, it was all over. The war had ended. Percy was home, along with all the others.

He seemed different though. Everyone said he and Annabeth had been through Tartarus, but she didn't fully believe it until she saw them.

Everyone wanted to say hello. To give him a hug. To see him again.

"Percy," She said, not sure what else to say.

"Hey Katie," He said. "How are the plants?"

Percy and Annabeth never seemed quite the same after that, but who was I to say that. I never knew Percy Jackson that well in the first place.
