Chapter 8

Annabeth POV

I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about Percy. He was hurt, and I only had a little ambrosia with me. I put some in his mouth then picked him up and tried walking forward. Nope. I stumbled under the weight and fell, knocking the air out of me. I thought I saw someone walking ahead, slightly in camp boarders, and I yelled for help. Whoever it was turned, and then flew...okay. It's Jason. He flew toward me, and I could see the alarm on his face.

"What happened to him?" Jason asked

"Hellhound," I said

"Okay, I got him, are you okay to run back?" he asked

"Yeah, go," I said, and Jason picked up Percy's body, muttering something along the lines of, stupid dude why do you get your heavy ass into this so I have to carry you? And flew off. I started walking back, mostly relieved that Percy was going to be okay because as much as I tried to deny it, I loved him. It would never go away. Even if he moved on I can't because I loved him, and I always will.

I continued walking, looking at the lake, thinking about Percy when I heard footsteps behind me. I was only like 100 yards from Camp's entrance, but I turned around. These footsteps weren't human, they were heavy like someone was walking, and not only that, but there was more. There were definitely more things behind whatever was coming. I ran back, took one look, and my stomach sank. A sense of dread settled in my stomach and I ran. I ran for all it was worth because I needed to tell them. There was an army coming. Nyx's army had arrived, and leading them, were the Titans Hyperion and Krios.

I barged into Camp and ran straight to the big house.

"Chiron!" I yelled

He ran out quickly, "What is it child?" he asked

"The army," I panted, "It's here."

Chiron's face went pale, and he ran out, shouting orders to get ready. I got my armor and a weapon. I was standing and waiting, as more and more campers came out ready to fight. Jason and Nico came out with Bryan, and they walked up next to me, followed closely by Chiron. I was not necessarily surprised to see that Percy wasn't there, he was probably in the infirmary, getting rest.

We all were standing, tense, ready to fight, when the first large BANG hit the camp borders. The ground was shaking, and we could feel the barriers struggle to hold back the army. Then, like a crash, we heard a cheer and then running, and the first monsters parted from the hills.

They came at us like a wave. We were standing at the ready, in order to fight, and they were on us. We were instantly swarmed, and we fought hard. Killing every monster coming toward us. For an exhilarating moment, I thought we were winning. Then reality hit us like a bomb. We were tiring, and they were still coming at us. Slowly, many of our friends fell. Jason fell under the weight of a giant, and Nico and Bryan killed the giant and helped Jason to his feet before they all went back to fighting. I saw a new camper get cut down by a Dracaena, and I willed myself to keep fighting.

Then, out of nowhere, there was a loud groan. The earth shook and a spiral of the dark came out. Nyx and her chariot emerged and the portal closed behind them. By some unknown command, all the monsters ran away, until only Nyx, Hyperion, and Krios were left.

Nyx smiled, cold, and evil, "So this is all there is to stop me?" her gaze went through them all. "Your strongest fighter isn't even here? Then where is he?" she asked.

We were all silent, as Nyx seemed to be searching for something. Then, her dark eyes widened in realization.

"Oh, there he is...may you all enjoy your time left with him." then her eyes shown, and a line of dark energy left her extended hand. It flew straight into...the infirmary. Percy. My blood chilled and my bones felt like ice. Then he walked out.

His normally green eyes were black, and blood was still visible on his shirt. He walked casually toward Nyx, who silently looked at us. Percy turned toward us. We all were chilled. Then Percy jumped toward us.

Jason went to meet him. They fought like demons, while we all watched and so did Nyx and the titans. We probably should have helped, but we didn't because we were in a trance. They kept fighting. Then Percy did something I had never seen. As Jason flew toward him, he stuck his hand out, then all the water molecules around Jason froze, leaving Jason frozen. There was just one hole, by his gut.

I freaked out. I ran forward, as Percy started moving forward.

"PERCY!" I yelled

He turned toward me. Seeing his eyes black was very unnerving. Then he turned back and stabbed Jason through that hole with no hesitation.

Piper's scream was mixed with my sense of disbelief. The ice around Jason disappeared and Jason, through his pain, stared at Percy.

"Get out of my brother" he yelled as he was surrounded by lightning and that lightning hit Percy so hard that the spell around him was gone. They both fell to the ground, injured.

Nyx had a cold smirk on her face. She walked away, and I'm pretty sure she took the spell off of Percy. Then, the realization hit me like a bomb. This was her plan. This is what she was trying from the beginning. Tears formed in my eyes as I looked at the broken forms of the one I loved and his best friend.

Nyx had done it. Her army was as strong as ever, and two of our three best fighters were injured.

We were fucked.

SOOO, I plowed through another chapter...yay me!
