The Bitter End and Sweet Beginning
Gaea's scream pierced through the air, as she slowly dispersed into the air. Sand, mud, dirt, and the basic substance of earth, slowly started to spill onto Camp Half Blood. Her minions rushed away as the warriors attacked them, and soon only a few were left alive.
"Cu-r-r-sed half-bl-o-ods!" Gaea hissed.
She groaned, and around the campers, the earth seem to shake and moan, as if a beast was being released.
"I wil-l hav-e t-he las-t lau-gh." She said, as her body became half of her original size.
Percy stood and watch her crumble, and held onto Annabeth tightly, "We did it. It's finally over, Annabeth."
Tears trailed down her face as her gray eyes shined brightly, "Finally, Seaweed Brain, the world can be normal again.
A huge shake, caused them to stumble.
"What is that?" Percy asked Hazel.
She winced as the earth kept shaking, "Gaea is doing something, I can't tell." She suddenly cried out as she fell down. Frank immediately kneeled down and franticly tried to help.
Gaea gave a warbled laugh, "Per-su-s J-ackso-n, the pa-wn of Oly-mpus," Suddenly her voice rang clear, "You asked for a normal life, correct?"
Gaea gasped and gave one last breath, before dissipating into the air. Annabeth looked over to Percy, just as he fell down.
"Percy!" She yelled. Hazel groaned, before coughing , "Get Chiron." Frank stood up and rushed towards the campers yelling for Apollo campers and for Chiron.
Annabeth cried as Percy started to turn white and clammy, "I just got you back, don't leave me! Seaweed Brain, you stupid, handsome, annoying, amazing Seaweed Brain! Don't go, promise!"
Percy gasped, but choked out the words, "Never, Wise Girl, I'll always be here." After saying those words, Percy suddenly dissolved into the ground, and all that was left was dirt on Annabeth's lap. Annabeth screamed with rage and sadness. A bittersweet day, a day of victory and sadness.
Light flashed over as Percy floated in an invisible space. He groaned and felt a massive headache forming. As he started to black out again he said, "Annabeth, I'll come back." Then his vision began to fade, and as he closed his eyes, he heard in the distance.
"Help! John Doe is awakening! I'll need to check him!"
