Jeez it's 12 O'clock at night, but I just have to finish this chapter at least...

Percy's PoV

I was running. And then I was flying.

And then I fell.

I landed in the water, I had to get away.

I could hear the voices of my friends, no, not anymore, they wouldn't ant to be friends with a monster.

Anyway, I could hear them above me. They were yelling but I couldn't hear a single word, it sounded like they were 50 miles away.

Except one voice, her cut through me like a bullet through the water, slower than usual, but persistent and bang on target.

"Percy, what have you done?"

I wish I could give her the answer, she hated not knowing, but I don't think anybody knew, so she would just have to live with that.

I couldn't go back up. What would I say? What could I say. I had just beaten up possibly even killed one of our close friends.

Killed.

That thought hit me like a battering ram into my stomach.

I wasn't safe to be around. I could never see my mother again, I hated to break my promise but I couldn't hurt her, I could never see Chiron again, I felt like I was letting him down but I had gone too far into my insanity, I could never even see Annabeth again, I'd promised her I'd never leave, but my promise to keep her safe was more important.

But did keeping her safe mean I had to stay away forever starting from now?

I waited for several hours until the voices left. Their calls for me to come back up had turned into an argument about what to do with me. Jason though I should be killed, Hazel, who had now woken up, wanted to hear my side of the story, Piper was just trying to keep everyone civil and calm, not very effectively from the sounds of it, Leo kept suggesting that we lock me up in the stores, and Annabeth was adamant that there was something wrong and that I didn't mean any of this.

She had been crying, that much I could hear it in her voice. The sound broke through the web of anger inside of me and shattered my heart.

I knew what I had to do.

So that night, about an hour after everyone had went to bed (they decided to try and get me again in the morning, and just hope I didn't murder them in their sleep)I lifted myself on a wave back on to the ship.

I crept into Annabeth's room, and shook her awake.

We stared at each other and then gently she slip her arms around me, and I mirrored her actions. I felt a wholeness I hadn't felt in days.

Then I felt her stiffen. As if her sleepiness had finally worn off and she remembered the full horror of what I had done. This just brought back memories of drowning Misery, the fear I'd seen in Annabeth's eyes, the way it made her voice tremble and... how much I'd loved it.

I was wasting time, I came here for a reason.

I pulled away from Annabeth and reached into my pocket pulling out Riptide and uncapping it as far away from Annabeth as possible so she knew I wasn't going to harm her.

Then I pressed the hilt into her hands and whispered 2 words.

"Do it"

My voice didn't shake, I didn't stutter, yet it still sounded weak, fragile. But it had to be done.

Annabeth's gorgeous grey eyes swirled with confusion, she looked at the sword in her hands then she slowly raised her eyes to mine.

And then she understood.

"No!"

Came her horrified whisper.

"You have to, please"

"No, Percy, for gods sake we can fix this, it will get better, you'll see. Franks fine, Hazels fine, and so will you.."

"Annabeth please, I don't want to hurt anyone else that I love. Please, if you have any love or respect for me or anyone around us, do it"

"I can't, why did you come here anyway?"

It was a good question, why did I come here instead of just doing it myself?

"I know I have to die, but I don't have to die all alone. I couldn't bear not seeing you again. And I'm not in control of my own actions, not really. The other side of me doesn't want this. You have to kill him, just as you would any monster, even if that means killing me"

"No"

"Annabeth please!"I grabbed her roughly by the shoulders before realizing what I was doing and stopping."I'm begging you..."

My head dropped down to rest against hers.

"Please my love, I can't cope with this another day, help me."

I sounded weak, probably because I was, but that didn't matter not, not really.

"I will help you Percy, because I love you, and I don't want you to have to live with what I know for you is torture. But if you are going..."

Her hands traveled around my back, Riptide still in them, I felt the sharp ecstasy to pain, the cold metal of the blade I loved piercing through me... and through the woman I loved.

"..then I'm coming with you" she whispered.

She pulled the blade out sharply and we both fell on our sides. I wrapped her in my arms and sang to her quietly until we fell asleep.

WOAH! 0_0 I don't know what happened there, I'm sorry. I only planned for Percy to die but nope, when I wrote it she died as well. I am so sorry please don't kill me :( But please review, this is probably the end of this. I wrote it all in one night, typical xD don't update or upload in over a year then do so 3 times in one night.
