Percy walked back on stage with a card in hand,
"Welcome Back Camp Half Blood!" The crowd started cheering.
"Now to announce the winner of the category "Best Female Hero"." Percy finished announcing. The crowd looked toward the screen and waited.
"In last place we have, Hazel Levesque!" Hazel's picture showed up on the screen and disappeared.
"In third place is, Piper Mclean!" Piper's picture showed up and went.
"In second place, is Thalia Grace!" Thalia's picture showed up and disappeared with the rest.
"And in first place, Annabeth Chase!" Annabeth's picture went on stage as she walked up. Percy went behind stage and got the award. It had a smaller Annabeth in a battle stance with her knife out.
Before he walked away, Percy gave Annabeth an envelope.
"Anyways, thanks for voting for me and I'm honor to get this award out of all the-" Annabeth got cut off by a small note floating down. She picked it up and read,
"Stop rambling. Just read the envelope." Annabeth turned and glared at the two Stoll's who cowered and went back behind stage.
"Ok well, the next category is, Favorite Dead Hero." Annabeth announced. Everyone in the crowd was silent as she announced the candidates.
"Silena Beauregard!" Silena was shown lying on a sidewalk, her face damaged. Everyone looked depressed at this scene.
"Charles Beckendorf!" Beckendorf was on a ship with Percy next to him, running through the ship.
"Zoe Nightshade!" Zoe was also on the ground her face pale. She was surrounded by Artemis, Thalia, Annabeth, and Percy.
"Bianca Di Angelo!" Bianca was crouched next to person behind a pile of junk. She got up and started running towards something.
"L- Luke Castellan!" The whole crowd turned dead silent as Luke's dying video came up.
Luke's left side was bloody. His eyes were open – blue eyes, the way they used to be. His breath was a deep rattle.
"Good… blade," he croaked.
Percy knelt next to him. Annabeth limped over with Grover's support. They both had tears in their eyes.
Luke gazed at Annabeth. "You knew. I almost killed you, but you knew…"
"Shhh." Her voice trembled. "You were a hero at the end, Luke. You'll go to Elysium."
He shook his head weakly. "Think… rebirth. Try for three times. Isles of the Blest."
Annabeth sniffled. "You always pushed yourself too hard."
He held up his charred hand. Annabeth touched his fingertips.
"Did you…" Luke coughed and his lips glistened red. "Did you love me?"
Annabeth wiped her tears away. "There was a time I thought… well, I thought…" She looked at Percy.
"You were like a brother to me, Luke," she said softly. "But I didn't love you."
He nodded, as if he'd expected it. He winced in pain.
"We can get ambrosia," Grover said. "We can-".
"Grover," Luke gulped. "You're the bravest satyr I ever knew. But no. There's no healing…" Another cough. He gripped my sleeve, and I could feel the heat of his skin like a fire. "Ethan. Me. All the unclaimed. Don't let it… Don't let it happen again."
His eyes were angry, but pleading too.
"I won't," Percy said. "I promise."
Annabeth had tears in her eyes but wiped them away fast.
"Vote for your favorite. You only have two days to vote!" Annabeth announced as she walked off stage and the campers slowly walked to the voting stand.
