thanks for supporting my story. Right now, Sadie is seventeen and Carter is eighteen and it's been four years since the war with Apophis. Percy is also seventeen.

To divergentlover5: demigods. Of course, demigods.

Sadie pov (surprise!)

I woke up with Carter banging at my door. "Sadie! You're late for school." He shouted. I sighed. It was a big mistake asking Carter to go to school with us. Now he became a bloody problem.

"Coming. Coming. Don't break the door down." I said. And yes, I wasn't kidding. Carter can go all Chicken-man on me and break the door in no time. It wasn't fair how I didn't get an avatar like that. I got ready and ran downstairs.

Many people greeted me while going down to breakfast. After the Great War with Apophis four years ago, we've got many new recruits. It's been a little busy around here.

During breakfast, I saw Walt and Jaz looking at each other lovingly. I smiled at them. Through my peripheral vision, I saw Carter looking at me sadly. I sighed. Seriously, I wasn't bitter. Or sad. Neither did I have any negative feelings about their relationship.

It was my fault, after all. I had always fallen for the looks. I never tried to see through the handsome faces. It happened the same with Walt and Anubis. I fell for them without trying to know them better. Turns out both of them are way different from me. Also turns out Walt/Anubis shared a few interests with Jaz.

This break up of ours happened three years ago, and Walt/Anubis and I are good friends now. Still, Carter has been overprotective of me since then. But really, he doesn't have to be. I've learnt my lesson.

From then on, I've always tried to know them better rather than falling for their 'hot' looks. But nobody was really my type. Now I'm a lonely soul. O well, guess I should enjoy my solitude while I can.

The sound of footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts. I saw Zia Rashid running down the stairs hurriedly. She kissed Carter before taking her seat. I tried not to be upset about this.

I mean, Carter and Zia's relationship just puts a big hole in my 'don't fall for looks" theory. These two had totally fallen for looks. But it turned out that they were a perfect couple. Meant for each other. Ok, now don't get me wrong. I'm happy for Carter. It's just...why me?

We all soon piled into Bast's car as she drove us to BAG (Brooklyn Academy for the Gifted, in case you don't know).

Me and Carter were just walking towards our lockers when I bumped into someone.

We both fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ow!" The guy I bumped into yelled. A pale kid wearing completely black came running up to us.

"Percy, are you okay?" He asked him.

"Yeah." The other guy, Percy, replied.

Carter helped me up while the goth kid helped Percy. He stood up, and that's when I got a good look at his face. My breath got stuck in my throat.

He was sooooooooooo hot. He had wind blown black hair and gorgeous green eyes. He had a lean and tanned figure. His eyes showed a million emotions at once. His face was kind, yet sad. He was just so handsome.

Woah, Sadie. Hold you horses. Don't go for the looks. Control yourself. I kept telling myself. But it was kinda difficult considering this guy was better looking than Walt and Anubis combined!

"Sorry." Percy said. It took me a while to realize he was talking to me.

"It's...it's okay. Perfectly awso...I mean okay. Perfectly okay." I tried to say without drooling. I saw Carter eyeing me warily.

"You're not hurt, right?" He asked. Oh! The concern in his voice was just so sweet.

"Not a bit." I replied.

"I'm Percy Jackson." He put his hand forward. I tried not yo stare at it stupidly as I shook it.

"I'm Sadie Kane. This is Carter, my brother." I pointed at him. Carter smiled and waved at Percy. Percy half-smiled. They didn't look surprised at the fact that Carter and I were siblings.

"This is Nico, my cousin." Percy nodded towards the goth kid. What? His cousin? This two looked nothing alike. But then again, Carter and I are totally different too.

"Nice to meet you." Nico said.

"You two are new around here, I guess." Carter said.

"Yeah." Percy said.

"We could show you around." I suggested. Nico's eyes widened at this.

"Sure. We'd love that." He said. He looked a little too eager. I wonder why.

"Yes. That'd be great." Percy said. All my suspicions melted at the sound of his voice.

We were just showing them the lockers when my least favorite person appeared.

"Percy! There you are. I've been looking all over for you." Drew said. O great! They were friends of Drew. This was just great. (Sarcasm)

"What do you want Drew?" Percy asked. He sounded tired.

"What do I want? Percy, I thought I was going to show you around." Drew said with fake sweetness.

"Well, these two have volunteered to show us around. So no thanks." Percy said.

"But..." Drew started to say.

"You heard the guy. We'll see you later." Nico said. Drew huffed angrily and left.

Nico breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. We got rid of her." Nico said.

"Not for long. She's in my class." Percy said. Okay, so these two weren't exactly fond of her. I wonder how they knew her then.

Percy turned to look at me, and his expression turned slightly amused as he studied me.

"Purple high-lights. Just like Thalia's blue ones. And you even dress a bit like her." He said. I had no idea who this Thalia was. Not the slightest. Nico turned to examine me too.

"Yeah. But Thalia's clothes are more punk style. And her hair are jet black." Nico said.

"Yeah. Your hair are caramel." Percy told me. If he wasn't so cute, I would've told him I already knew that.

"It's a sort of blonde and brunette mixture." Carter grinned.

"Blonde." Percy suddenly stiffened and spoke as if in a trance.

"Oh no. Not now." Nico muttered. He looked terrified.

"She had blond hair. Blond curly hair. Like a princess's." He said this to no one, looking at nothing. His had started breathing fast. Then he screamed( in a manly way) and clutched his head in pain. He screamed again.

"Percy! Percy! O my gods, this is bad! Percy!" Nico was having a panic attack.

Percy dropped to his knees. He screamed again. A lot of people had gathered around us. I heard a lot of whispering, but it was all in the background.

"No! Annabeth!" Percy yelled, his eyes now closed. I didn't understand what was happening, but I couldn't stand to see him like this.

"Is he okay?" Carter asked. Nico was too distracted to answer.

"Percy, calm down. It's going to be okay. It's alright. Just stay calm...you can do it." Nico knelt next to Percy and kept saying soothing words to him.

"No! Save her!" He yelled again.

"Ok. Ok. Just calm down." Nico continued.

"Save her." This time Percy's voice had lowered.

"Yes. Ok." Nico said.

"Save her." Percy whispered before he slumped against Nico's shoulder, unconscious .

"We have to take him to the infirmary." Nico said. Carter rushed toward to help. Percy's one hand was wrapped around Nico's shoulder and the other was wrapped around Carter's. I told the other kids to scram as we dragged Percy to the infirmary.

After the nurse assured us she would take care of him, we all came outside the infirmary.

"What was that?" I asked Nico.

"Yeah. What was she saying about saving someone? And who is Annabeth?" Carter asked

Nico sighed."I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. But since you guys helped me and since you don't exactly look like the gossiping type, I'll tell you." He said.

I crossed my arms across my chest in a 'I'm waiting' gesture.

Nico took a deep breathe in before speaking. "Annabeth was Percy's girlfriend. And I don't mean the once in a week kind of girlfriend. I mean a once in a lifetime kind of girlfriend. They both simply loved each other. They would take a knife for each other." He paused.

"And..." I prompted him.

"Just two months ago, Percy and Annabeth went on a private helicopter ride. It crashed and Annabeth...Annabeth died. Percy has been in shock since then. Anything that reminds him of Annabeth makes him go into fits like this. No one can cure him." Nico said.

I didn't what to say. I mean, I knew love was powerful, but this strong? I had no idea. Percy seemed like a very loyal and caring guy. I felt sad for him.

"You two better get to class." Nico told us.

"Are you sure? Will you manage?" Carter asked.

"Yes. I'll manage." Nico said. Me and Carter started walking to class.

"That was...," Carter seemed at a loss of words.

"Sad. That was sad." I said. I really didn't want to go to class after this. But I guess I had to. All I could think about was the troubled guy, Percy Jackson.
