Hey! Hoped everyone likes they story so far! I'll keep trying to make chapters longer, but no promises! Sorry! :) If you have any questions or are just bored, PM me! Yay! I own nothing! Enjoy!
Percy/Wrath's POV
I ran as fast as I could from the Hades cabin after I heard they were onto me. What Annabeth said... That couldn't be true could it? I haven't lost my mortal link... Right?
No. She's just trying to get inside my head. I'm fine. I've always been fine. I was already Wrath once another time and I was fine! That was for three years!
Yeah, but you didn't even know Annabeth yet! The Percy part of my brain argued. You hadn't bathed in the Styx yet!
So? How does that change anything? You always have your mortal link, even if you don't know what or who that link is!
Are you sure? Asked Percy.
Yes, says Wrath.
I dont believe you. Bold move on Percy's part.
I right though! I ALWAYS right! You're just a little push over! 'Hero of Olympus'! Yeah right!
But...
Who really saved Olympus? It was Annabeth, Thalia, the Stolls, Katie Gardner, Clarisse, Chris, even Luke helped more than you did!
I helped them! I supported them! Percy is losing the battle within my head.
What about all the people who died? Selena, Beckondorf, Ethan, Zoë, Bianca, Luke died, yet he was the real hero! Luke was a TRAITOR, yet he will ALWAYS be more of a hero than you could ever be. Wrath is winning the battle of the brain.
Percy had nothing to say in his defense. He's already lost.
I fell to the ground in the forest, gripping my head. "Stop it! Dont argue! You're ripping me apart!"
Wrath didn't stop.
You're worthless, he told me. Nobody wants you, nobody needs you. You only make their lives worse.
"Worthless..." I repeated, finally giving in. "Make everyone's lives worse..."
"No Percy!" Annabeth screamed. "It's not true!"
When did she get here? I didn't have time to think about it, because Wrath was pulling me in again.
All the deaths are your fault, he taunted. It was the Great Prophecy that led to their deaths. If you hadn't been born, there wouldn't have been a prophecy and there wouldn't have been a war. Their deaths are all your fault.
"All my fault," I whispered. "Their deaths are all my fault."
"No Percy! Listen to me! You helped save lives! Not kill people!" Annabeth shouted. It seemed like I was under water and she was trying to tell me somethjg. Everything was murky.
Even Annabeth never liked you, Wrath told me.
"No," I mumbled. "Annabeth liked me."
No, she only stuck with you out of pity. Nothing else.
"Stuck with me out of pity... Yeah..."
"NO Percy! Don't listen to him! He's lying!" Annabeth tried to say, but I was too far gone to hear anything she said.
"Kelp Head! Listen to her!" I guess Thalia was here to. Where are we again?
"Perce! Stay with us bro! I need you! We all need you!" Nico yelled. Everyone is here I guess.
They lie, Wrath snapped. They don't need you. Who needs a worthless demigod like you anyways?
"Worthless demigod... Who needs me anyways..." My hands were still covering my ears, blocking out my friends' protests.
Its better for everyone if Percy Jackson never came back, Wrath consoled.
"Percy Jackson never came back... Better for everyone... Yeah..."
"NO!"
"I need you Kelp Head!"
"I can't lose my big brother! I need you Percy!"
Annabeth doesn't need you, Wrath teased. She won't say it. It's her pride. She can't say she needs you. Who knows if she ever loved you at all?
"Never loved me at all... Doesn't need me... Annabeth..." Even with my eyes squeezed shut because of the pain inside my head, I could tell Thalia and Nico both turned to Annabeth.
"Tell him you need him Annabeth!" Wow, Thalia didn't even call her Annie, she must be serious about me wanting to stay.
Wrath struck again. Idiot, why would she be serious about you wanting to stay? She's just putting on a show so you think she cares. Thalia always had the attention. She always pitied you, along with everyone else! While you had a prophecy about your death, she was living the easy life!
"Loving the easy life... Always pitied me... I think she cares... Idiot... Putting on a show... Everyone pities me."
"No Perce! I don't pity you!" Nico called. "Annabeth, tell the guy you need him or I'll make sure you have a very painful death when you die!"
"I-I can't! It's my flaw! It's my pride! It will mean going against my mom and family to say I need him! I can't!" Annabeth wailed.
See, Wrath pointed out. She can't say she needs you. She DOES'NT need you moron. She'd rather kill you than go against her family. She. Doesn't. Need. You.
"Doesn't need me... Rather kill me... Can't say it..." I muttered into the air. I could practically see Thalia's glare with my eyes closed.
"Say it. We all did, except you!" Thalia argued.
They don't need you. Give up and give me control. I'll take good care of us. Forever, ordered Wrath.
"Don't need me... Control forever... Give up, give up..." I said.
"Percy!" Annabeth yelped.
"It's too late!" I replied, against my own wishes. Wrath has gained final control. It's over. It's all over.
