"I'm here. I'm not planning on leaving, ever." Malcolm planted a kiss on my forehead. Taking a deep breath I just laid there with him. His fingers rubbing soothing circles on my back. I felt guilt bubble up inside. I had to leave him. And soon too. Else everyone I cared about would be in danger. I felt his arms tighten around me slightly. I smiled and cuddled closer to him. Forgetting my worries for the time being and spending time with the boy I was laying next to.

Maya started packing everything already. Leaving somethings so if Percy decides to look through anything he won't notice anything gone. She had to leave tomorrow. If she didn't people would be hurt maybe even killed. Maya couldn't and wouldn't let that happen. Her bag had everything she needed to survive outside of camps barrier, at least for a couple weeks.

A sharp knock sounded against the door. "Come in!" Maya pushed my bag under my bed just as the door opened and a small girl hurried in with a small box.

"Are you Maya?" She peered at Maya with her big blue eyes.

"Yeah, can I help you?" She questioned with a slight smile, Maya didn't want to frighten her.

"Connor gave me this telling me to give you this package... I don't know who it's from.." The child shifted from foot to foot.

"Thank you.."

"Danni" She smiled brightly exposing her missing front tooth.

"Thank you Danni." Her bright yellow dress swished as she scampered away. The package was a small box wrapped in red paper. Tearing the paper away Maya glanced at the door nervously. Her hands were clammy as she peered inside, there was a clipping of newspaper, a note and a vial of green liquid on a chain. Maya picked up the clipping lightly. The article was about a recent fire in Utah, a teenager was being carted off to the hospital for major burns and smoke inhalation. The girl was tall but curvy, her head had patches of her flowing brown hair missing and she was barefoot. Revealing the large scar she had gotten years before in a fishing incident. Maya stiffed her sobs. Her cousin Mary. She was a little older than her, on broadway this year, but took a brake due to her mother being ill.

A wave of guilt hit Maya so hard she dripped the box to hold her chest. She couldn't draw in a breath. She remembered the other items in the box. Her eyes landed on the spilled contents. The not was written on simple notebook paper. With shaking hands she reached for it. Opening it her heart shattered even more.

Maya,

Change of plans, boss decided we want you on the inside. Don't leave. Sorry your cousin had to suffer for your mistakes. Don't screw up. Wait for my signal I will tell you what to do with the vial. Prepare for the worst haha. You should've died weeks ago now you get to suffer too. Toodles.

Maya picked up the vial. It looked like a messed up necklace. She shoved it under her mattress. She couldn't do this. She wouldn't. She took her dagger and sliced her wrist. Blood came right away, spilling down her wrists and onto the cabin floor. It wasn't doing enough. She sliced again and again. When she was done her head was spinning and her blood surrounded her. Footsteps sounded outside the cabin. She started to fall over, landing in the puddle of crimson.

The door opened and her brother and Annabeth walked in laughing. There was a scream and someone was at her side. Shouting, crying, more footsteps. Thats all Maya could hear. Pressure was put of the mess that was her arm. Percy appeared in her dimming vision. He was saying something but Maya couldn't make out the words. She looked past the frightened faces of her friends to the rafters.

Dad if there is a paradise in the afterlife I hope I go there. I know I don't deserve it I wasn't a hero. I'm sorry I was such a disappointment. I only wish now that you were on better terms with your brother. I'm sorry I couldn't handle it. I hope Mary is still alive and that once I'm gone this stops, it shattered me.

Maya looked at Percy before her vision left her. "I love you Percy." Her eyes closed, and everything went still.

Percy glanced at Annabeth. His heart breaking. How did this happen? It seemed like hours to Percy before Will got into the Poseidon cabin. He got to work instantly but the view startled him. Maya's breathing was shallow but she was still with us. Will took some nectar and poured it on a cloth, wrapping it on Maya's wrist. He force fed her some ambrosia and started muttering in ancient greek. Slowly some color returned to her pale face.

Annabeth could feel the anxiety in the room. She could see the tear tracks on Maya's still face. A knock on the door startled everyone in the room. Percy started to get up, he looked like a zombie. Annabeth got up faster and beat him to the door. Placing a tender kiss on his lips she gently pushed him back. He moved back and held Maya's other hand. Opening the door Annabeth heart dropped when she saw it was Malcolm.

Malcolm's happy expression turned to a look of confusion. "Annabeth? What's wrong?" She shut the door behind her. He didn't need to see that.

"Malcolm... It's Maya..." Mother help me explain. Annabeth prayed "She tried to kill herself, She might not make it."
