2. Chapter 2

PIPER POV

Piper sat by Percy's bed, sobbing quietly into her hands. It had been 2 hours since... since she had died. Nico had confirmed it. Piper couldn't handle the sight of Athena appearing in a blinding grey light and asking happily to see her daughter. She looked so proud, staring at the Athena Parthenos. Piper didn't stay to see anger and sorrow on Athena's face as Jason told her what happened. She fled belowdeck into the sickbay, and had stayed at Percy's side since. Her mind was too worn, too distraught to think much about what Percy would do when he woke up.

Right on cue, he groaned and turned in the bed and blinked groggily at Piper. "What's wrong?" he croaked. Then the memories seemed to surface. Before Piper knew what was happening, he was at the door, running to the upperdecks like a madman. "Percy, WAIT!" Piper tried charmspeaking, and was shocked to see he kept storming up. "WHERE IS SHE?!" he screamed. Frank's habit of shapeshifting when surprised kicked in and suddenly there was a baboon sitting in his place. The others looked just as startled as Percy screamed again, "WHERE'S ANNABETH?!"

Looking at him now, at his blazing sea green eyes, at his jaws set tight, at his fists clenched in fury, Piper shrank back in fear. In that moment, she understood why the gods thought he was such a threat. Just a few weeks ago, she had laughed at the thought of Percy raising hurricanes and massacring hundreds of monsters, but over time on the Argo II, she had learned that Percy was more than a goofy 17 year old. He was fierce and powerful and very demanding when he wanted to be. But now... he was someone else entirely. Any trace of his previous self was gone. Now, he was just the demigod who battled Titans and Giants and monsters with no mercy. Now, he was just the boy who had lost the love of his life. Now, he was just an empty shell. And Piper had no doubt believing that he would rage into the Underworld and rip open Elysium looking for Annabeth if Hades didn't return her willingly.

"I SAID," he shrieked. "WHERE. IS. ANNABETH?!"

"Percy..." Jason started, but his voice faded.

"She's gone." Nico finished. "Fell into Tartarus. I could feel it. I'm sor-" But before Nico could apologize, Percy's hands were locked around his throat, lifting him off the ground.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE?" he yelled. "SHE CAN'T BE GONE!" Nico started to choke, but he didn't try to pull away from Percy's anger. "Percy!" Piper shouted. "Let him go!" Nothing happened. Nico's face was turning purple. Hazel was yelling at Percy to let him go, but Percy didn't budge. "PECRY!" Piper poured all her charmspeak into her voice. "LET. HIM. GO!"
