Chapter 10: Reactions

Me: Hey guys! I am back from my trip to Disney and I am back to writing. So despite the popular vote ti let Percy live, I have decided to have him remain dead. I am sorry to everyone who voted for him to live. I honestly think him remaining dead is the best scenario. So without further ado, I present everyone's reaction to Percy's death. This is my longest chapter to date so I hope you enjoy!

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

Warning: Mention of suicide and character death

Annabeth knew something was wrong. She felt it suddenly when she woke up the next day. She wanted to ignore it and just say she was paranoid but she knew it was something deeper than that. The first thing she decided to do is tell Percy. When she entered his cabin, her heart dropped to her feet.

The sight in front of her was horrifying. It might not be very gruesome to some but it horrified her to see Percy covered in so much blood.

"Percy?" she said softly, as if speaking any louder would wake him up.

She took a tentative step towards him and that's when she knew. Her Seaweed Brain was dead. Dead by his own hand.

She collapsed to the ground, sobs taking over her.

'Percy is dead. Dead. My Seaweed Brain is dead,' her mind said over and over again.

She didn't know how long she wept until the others found her.

Sally Blofis nee Jackson was exhausted and feeling guilty. Alexa was crying all night for her big brother and her own guilt ate her up.

'I hope he's okay,' Sally thought worriedly.

Suddenly, the house phone rang.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Sally Jackson? This is Chiron. I have some terrible news," Chiron said grimly.

"What is it?" Sally asked, growing concerned.

"I regret to inform you that Percy is… Percy is dead," Chiron said, a tone of sadness in his voice.

Sally's mind stopped.

"You're… You're lying. This is a joke, right?" she asked desperately.

"I… I am sorry for your lost. I'll leave you to your thoughts," Chiron said, hanging up.

And Sally Jackson broke into sobs.

'I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. Please forgive me Percy. I'm sorry.'

Chiron was worried. Annabeth hadn't come to breakfast that morning, something she never did. He sent Malcolm to check on her but Malcolm couldn't find. He finally decided to check Percy's cabin, where he found Annabeth sobbing next to Percy's bed.

His heart stopped.

'No,' he thought.

"Annabeth, is something wrong?" Chiron asked calmly even though he was in a slight panic.

"Just… just come look," Annabeth said brokenly.

Chiron stepped closer only to take a step back in shock. Percy Jackson laid on the bed, dead.

'Percy… is dead,' he thought, slightly shocked at the notion.

He didn't visible weep but he did mourn for the student he couldn't save.

Poseidon didn't know why Hades called this meeting. It was sudden and very out of character for his brother. He went anyways. He, along with the other Olympians, where now in the throne room waiting for Hades to make his announcement.

"Why have you called us here Hades?" Zeus growled.

Hades looked solemn however.

"I have called you here announce that Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, is dead. He passed into my realm yesterday," Hades announced.

Shocked silence met his words.

Poseidon's brain went on lock down. It wasn't true. Percy wasn't dead. Hades was jking them. But with just one look at Hades, Poseidon knew it was true.

He completely ignored the shocked chatter of everyone as he mourned for his son.

Later that day, everyone gathered at the campfire where Chiron was making an announcement. People had gossiped about what he needed to tell them all day but no one really knew what was going on. Chiron clopped to the center as everyone turned their attention towards him.

"Campers," he started in a solemn tone, "I bring some bad news."

"What's going on?" Piper asked.

"Last night, one of our campers committed suicide. His body was found this morning," Chiron said.

"Who… who was it?" Jason asked, hesitating for once.

"Percy Jackson… Percy Jackson is dead," Chiron declared.

And with that, Chiron walked away from the shocked campers. And for once, the camp was silent.

"Hunters!" Artemis shouted, gathering the attention of her hunters.

"What's wrong Milady?" Thalia asked worriedly.

"I know that some of you will be unaffected by this news but Percy Jackson is dead," Artemis declared.

"That's a lie!" Thalia immediately denied.

Artemis only looked at her lieutenant sadly and said, "I'm sorry."

Thalia's face fell and she said, "I… Excuse me, I need to go to my tent."

And with that she walked off, a few tears leaking out of her eyes.

Nico had felt it the night before. He could feel someone passing on but was too distracted to notice who. It was the next day when Nico found out.

"Percy is dead, Father?" Nico asked.

Hades nodded, "He is."

"I… I see. If you excuse me, I have some business to attend to," Nico said, getting up.

Hades nodded and sent him on his way. Nico wondered around the Underworld for a bit before ending up in Elysium.

"Nico! What are you doing here?" a female voice from behind him asked.

Nico turned around and saw Silena, Beckendorf, and Luke running towards him.

"Is something wrong?" Luke asked worriedly.

"Percy… Percy is dead," Nico informed them.

"What?" they asked shocked.

Nico nodded his head grimly.

"Is… is he going to be here soon?" Silena asked.

"He better be," Nico growled.

"We'll… We'll prepare for his arrival. It was nice to see you Nico. We'll see you later," Beckendorf said before they left.

It was only after they left that Nico let a few tears leave.

Percy Jackson was dead. And everybody mourned for the friend, son, boyfriend, and hero that left them.

And cut! So that is everyone's reaction to Percy's death. I'm sorry if some of the characters are OOC but I just needed it to be that way. Anyways, this story is almost over now. The way I have it planned, there are only three more chapters left. For now though, I hope you guys enjoyed! Bye!
