I have dreaded this day

Since the fateful day death happened

The death of Jason Grace

-apollos pov-

It was the start of summer when i got back to camp so all the campers were going to be there. That included the last two demig-ds from the argo ll who I would have to inform of Jason Grace's death. One of them, the closer one to Jason has the fatal flaw of personal loyalty and would easily beleive it was his fault for not coming with me, when I asked origionally 6 months earlier when I started my journey. For 4 months I've been dreading this day but here it is. Meg pulls me along wanting to get it over with. I wanted to stay in the shadows but news spread fast, ahead of me was a boy with raven black hair and his blond haired girlfriend. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, they've been through so much, saved the world twice. Why do the fates have to be so cruel?

"Hey man your back whats the news? Why dont IMs still not work?" That was percy, how little did he know.

"Um how about we go somewhere private to talk for a little." The 2 demig-ds who have heard so much bad news knew that this meant something bad happened, and it most likely was a death of a friend.

"Of course will the woods be good?" Annabeth asked slowly. I nodded.

After 5 minutes of walking we got to a clearing. The trees did not look neatly cut. I guessed this is where demig-ds rage when they got bad news. With a sad crestfallen look Percy looked into my eyes "Who was it, just tell me and get it done, quick." There was so much pain in that look. Before I might not have understood it, but this demig-d saw so much death, so much suffering how could I bring more.

"Sit down please, I-I'm sorry." By now tears were filling my eayes. I did nothing to stop them. "Jason grace was so brave he knew it was either him or piper. He could let the girl he loved die. Annabeth, he wanted to make sure u still help with the temples." Anabeth had tears in her eyes but the look percy was wearing was startling. There was sadness and rage in those sea green eyes but there was pain like the news phisically hurt him and self blame there too.

"ITS MY FAULT ITS ALL MY FAULT. I SHOULD HAVE COME WITH YOU. YOU CAME TO ME IN THE BEGINNING NOT HIM. I DESERVE THIS NOT HIM. HE HE HAD A LIFE A AHEAD OF HIM. IT WAS MY JOB. IT ALWAYS IS. HE WAS IN A BOAT ON THE WATER I FELT IT, I SAW IT. The dream was real." Tears, so many tears, I thought I broke the demig-d looking at him I realized he was still a kid not even 18. Yet he'd suffered than most adults.

"Percy its not your fault how can it be. I told you to stay and live your life the fates cant expect more from you, they can't. You also have a life ahead of you we both do. In New Rome in just a few weeks." Annabeth was trying to bring sense to the boy but she couldn't. He'd been to tartarus and back. If I'm a healing g-d then I could tell you he was depressed. Possibly even suicidal. I almost for got Meg was by my side untill she went up to Percy and hugged him. "You cant blame yourself it'll only hurt you more." That girl was brave. That look I thought. It was the same as someone who deeply cared about you and knew what happned to you was trying to helo you. Then I remembered something "Meg didn't you say all demig-ds of Manhatten met Nero. Percy your from here arent you?" Oh no I crossed the line if his face could show more sadness than it already did then it did now. If i could read faces then, no, no I can't even try too much pain. In almost an inaudiable voice Percy answered "My stepfather. He was a minion. he sent him. I only found out recently. I one of those stupid nightmares that just don't stop." I remembered that old fat creature, a horrible man. I knew he was abusive and hurt Percy before he knew what was to come in his life.

"Percy why didn't you tell me this."

"A-anabeth I couldn't, it hurt to much. I can't go back to those memories I have too many new ones." And with that the demig-d started to hack down trees like monsters, screaming incoherently. I felt the pain in every sound.

"This is where Percy lets out his anger. lets leave him alone right now theres nothing we can do." Annabeth looked heart broken, like this happened to many times before. "Only Nico can sometimes bring him out I don't know why, nobody does really but at least Percy has someone other than me who umderstands him." Anabeth added in a murmer almost like she didn't want anyone to hear. I felt horrible to leave but I did. If Annabeth couldn't do anything how could I? Meg turned away from Percy, hiding away tears. She held my had and tried to comfort me. She still had to face the Beast she will be strong enough I know she will be.

Ok I know this is pretty bad byt its my first writing. Im proud of me its almost 1,000 words go me!
