Disclaimer: I do not own percy jackson series

I ran. Away from the big house. Away from Camp Half Blood. Away from my troubles. Away from my friends. I ignored the campers that tried to stop me with words, and the ones that tried to physically stop me, well, I physically got past them. Nico was dead because of me, that was all that mattered. I ran away in search for the truth. What was going on? Was there really even a war that was going to start? What were those shape-shifting beings? I was now on a mission, and now no one could stop me. No monster, god, demigod or mortal was going to get in my way. I eventually settled down to go to sleep, but suddenly I heard a crack. Someone was following me.

"Who is that" I shouted, while I uncapped Riptide ready to fight.

"Percy, its me, Annabeth"

"How can you prove it"

"Because I love you Percy, no matter what you do, from the moment I aw you I loved you"

"For a daughter of Athena, you sure aren't smart about who you love" I said as I hugged the girl of my dreams

"For someone on the run from shape-shifters you aren't smart about who you hug" Annabeth said as she stabbed me with a knife.
