I clutched Nyx's hand; she looked at me her eyes slowly closing. "I'm not worth it…stop go fight…"
"Nyx your damn wrong to think you're not worth it, Nico needs you. I need you as a friend, stay with me, Nyx! Nyx! Someone help me, Will! Get over here!" I was feeding all the life energy I had into her growing limp body. I struggled and then dug deep into my body giving everything I had. She struggled to stay with me, but her heart was losing its beat. Her breathing was shallow and her wound in her stomach was bleeding like a river. Her pale skin wasn't even pale, it was past pale it was white. Her red lips that were usually so full were thin and had lost color, I wasn't going to give up on her yet. Jordyn had lived me, she would too. Jordyn ran to my side she handed me a bottle, I looked at her tiredly. She spoke cautiously,
"My goddess, Carlina brought it to me… She said you needed it, I must go now, Father calls." She rushed out of the small tent, Carlina didn't she say she could form any substance with water in it. I flipped open the cap and then told Nyx to open her mouth she did as she was told. She swallowed weakly, and then her tired eyes that had lost their devilish glint fluttered close and I let out a sob. I had killed her, I sat down next to Nico and he looked at me with sorrowful eyes. Carlina had disappeared,
"You did the best you could, and it's not that bad actually we just met… But that's two sisters I've lost. I don't know what I did to deserve this, I tried talking to Malone, the goddess of Ghosts… but it didn't work… She- she….she said Bianca wasn't mine to take, her time had come and there was nothing I could do about it. So that's my life… a whirl of sisters that died, I'm a bad brother… she took her life for me. She…she was so brave, every minute till the end. You know I found her running the streets of New York City, on her own? I couldn't believe my eyes when I see this skinny scrawny girl climbing this skyscraper, it was a shocking sight." He smiled a sad smile of remembrance, "She had everything I could ever ask for in a sister, brains, loves-action, always up for an adventure, she could even tame Cereus, which was impressive. I loved her; she was so much like Bianca, at the same time. The resemblance was so close it scared me. I realized I loved her as a sister the same time I realized that she was the only thing I ever wanted in my life. Companionship, she gave that to me the second I asked her. She's my only family I had, but now she's gone too."
"Nico…look" His downcast eyes shifted upward and moved to the beautiful girl that we had both seen at her highest point in life, come to. Her dark hair crazed and her pale skin shimmered in the soft light of the sun, Nico rushed to her side and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around him, and then I smiled in delight. I walked out to the darkening sky, the campers had dispersed some campers lay motionless. I sobbed at the lifeless faces. The little girl I had left in the care of Jake was no where in sight; I came to the sight of a fallen friend. My face broke and numbness broke throughout me, for the bloody sight that was there in front of me was one of the most difficult things I had to deal with…
Tiny little Lisa sword still in hand had a smile cut right through her throat. I fell to the ground my sobs heard through the empty meadow, I couldn't see through the blur of my tears. I lifted up her limp body; her cut had dried blood all over it and the blood of the one who had held her last. Clarisse had held her already in the same position I had, she had already let out her cry over her. Because her tears were all over the child's lifeless body, my tears dissolved into the damp dewy Earth. A small fire was lit in the woods; I heard crying from all directions of the camp. A scream so high-pitched was let loose and I felt my heart pound, the battle was still going on. It had moved to the woods… I set Lisa down onto the dirt and grew a flower with the simple flick of my hand. A small golden flower, the flower was called a Delphinium, it meant boldness I twisted it with her bloody sword then set the sword over the child's heart. She looked so peaceful, I got up and felt a soft hand on my shoulder the person I least expected to see there stood there.
He stood there, his arms scratched with long sword marks. But his muscles were flexed as he placed a hand on me. His shoulders tense, but his eyes showed nothing but anger and rage. I was lost in them, unable to unleash myself from them. Our feelings were in sync like the perfect heartbeat. I wanted to throw myself to him, run my hands over his chest and face, but I didn't. His shirt sleeve was pulled to the side with a tear, and his strong abdomen showed perfect crossed lines of a beautiful body. The Greeks worshipped a beautiful body like a god. But it wasn't his beautiful body that I was in love with, it was just who he was… I wrapped my arms around his neck. I knees weak under my strain and exhaustion, but all I knew that he was here with me. We locked our lips together like a perfect key and hole. He swept me up and held me close to him, I blocked out the sadness and the difficult measures I had faced, and everything was gone. It was just him… and me. No one else existed in our perfect world. I released his lips and he held me against his chest. His forehead against mine, "I love you." I looked into his eyes, and pulled away but he gripped my hand.
"I can't stay with you Phoenix I'm sorry… We can't…I still..." He looked at me, all the anger in his eyes had been replaced with sadness and regret.
"I see…" He walked away sword still in hand I watched after him, wishing I could bring him back to me. Deep down inside I truly wished I wasn't perfect, that Percy or Phoenix hadn't both fallen in love with me, because the more they showed me they did the more in love I fell for them. I knew I was losing my godly personality to a stupid boy urge. But it wasn't stupid to me…I had to figure out who I was, I didn't know half the time, at points I was powerful Penelope, other times I was love sick Penelope, but last but not least I was just a girl named Penelope who had no voice. I was just old Penelope Rondervin, the normal A student, the freak, the nerd, the weird idiot, the amazing friend, the human…
I stumbled around giant rain drops descended from the sky and thunder flashed through the angry sky. I fell over a log or maybe it wasn't a log maybe it was a stump, but I turned and saw a body of a boy, his pretty green eyes stared blankly at the sky for a second I felt that it was Percy, I didn't like the way they stared blankly at the agitated sky, not at all. But it was a Roman demigod. My hands shook, I hated this death, I hated this death…. Tears stung my tired eyes.
"Penelope?" I twisted and saw Jake staring at me. His eyes were a feeble caution. "Why are you crying? What…what is that smell?"
"What smell Jake?" I trembled. "It's reeking, it's like a smell of sadness, and…"
"It's death, Jake… its death." I held him in my arms and we watched in dismay as the thunder erupted from the downcast sky.
