Percy's POV

Me and Hazel were talking in the corner when Harry walked in. My heart sunk, somehow I knew he hadn't just been asked to escort us out of the room, like the other two champions stupidly asked.

As the adults explained my mind started sinking into a deep pit, how would we protect Harry if he was doing the Triwizard Tournament? Would I have to sacrifice myself? Was I prepared to sacrifice myself? Did I even want to sacrifice myself for him?

I collapsed and found myself in Tartarus. The looming voice of Nyx mixed with his black hole voice echoed around the deep cavern. Then I heard them laughing in unison as I sunk into a vision. I was happy, at camp. I was running to the beach to see Annabeth, I was finally going to propose! Then I stopped short. She was laughing as she kissed Jason, my best friend. All my friends were there with them, the seven, Reyna, Nico, Will, even my mom, dad, and Paul. I ran up and they just sneered at me and said I was useless, worthless, unloved. Jason had all the attention, the love from my parents, the love of Annabeth, and all my friends. I watched as Jason pulled a ring out of his pocket and proposed to Annabeth. Watched as she cried happy tears and said yes. I pulled my own ring out in sadness, thinking about what could have been. When I looked back up, Jason was charging me with a spear, a nasty smirk on his face, as everyone cheered. He ran me though and the darkness consumed me.

So that was short, but I thought that was a good cliffhanger to let you stew over for a few days. I will try to update soon.

Signing off Onyx Rose.

P.S That's not my real name.
