XIV Percy

Was scared for Berckenderf.

His friend,Beckendorf? He's in danger.

Percy can't believe it. Silena and Beckendorf...

"Selina she's back." Percy said in more like a whisper. The others heard him anyway.

Percy didn't know what right emotion should be playing on right now.

Should he be happy or sad? Usually he'd settle for the most familiar and common emotion that he feels. Utterly confused.

"Silena?" Piper asked.

"Silena's your half-sibling. She used to be the head councilor before drew and you." Annabeth explained.

"Pipers dead relative? no Piper's zombie relative. Cool!"

Piper ignored Leo's zombie talk.

"Isn't she...She came back from the dead?" Piper asked.

"It sounds like it." Percy said.

"Nico was the one talking to Silena?" Percy asked Leo.

"Yeah. He said he escaped but that other guy berckenderf?"

"Beckendorf." Percy and Annabeth corrected.

"Yeah, him. I think he's my half sibling right? I got his bed. Anyways he didn't make it. But there was something..." Leo got thinking.

"What?" Annabeth urged.

"He...Nico, Said that he escaped fairly like easy. As if Gaea wanted him to for some reason."

"Came back from the dead or not. We need to save Beckendorf." Percy said.

Annabeth turned to him. Her gaze was knowing.

"I know why you'd want to Percy and we could...we would but don't you think Gaea let Nico escape for him to tell us about Beckendorf just to lure us in a trap? "

Percy didn't like where this was going.

"Are you implying that it's better we don't try to save him?"

He meant his voice to stay calm but it came out angry.

"No percy. I'm just saying we have to let our guard up with these things. We need to check every angle. We need to think of all the possibilities good or bad."

"She's got a point Percy." Jason said.

"But we were going to the doors of dead anyway, to save Nico. Now we'll just have to save a different person."

Percy reasoned. He felt as thought this was his second chance.

He wasn't able to save Beckendorf before.

Now that he could see another chance to do what he wasn't able to accomplish before he would do his best to save Beckendorf.

"What if it's a trap?" Annabeth asked a bit irritated.

"We'll have to risk it." Percy said defiant.

"We can't just Risk it Percy. The worlds at stake." Annabeth yelled.

"It always is Annabeth. But that Beckendorf. We need to help him. I need to...to..." Percy couldn't hear any of this.

He had to save Beckendorf, He has to. He will.

Percy sat down on Annabeth's bed and buried his face in his arms.

Beckendorf's death has been hard on him.

No matter how many times Annabeth would would tell him it wasn't his fault, He still couldn't feel ease from guilt.

"We need to alright we have to." Percy said weakly.

Jason, Piper and Leo exchanged glances.

They knew the risk and although it pains them, They had to agree with Annabeth.

The fate of the worlds at risk.

Annabeth sat down beside Percy rubbing his back soothingly.

"Percy We will try but we have to think it through. Gaea knows how you feel about Beckendorf and all. She might be planning to use Him to Lure you in."

"But Annabeth. He's our friend. We can't just let him be. He shouldn't have those problems anymore. He doesn't deserve this."

"I know but you do realize it your fatal flaw doing most of the talking." Annabeth said.

Percy jumped up from the bed.

"It's not that! I need to-"

Annabeth stood as well.

"Percy I know you feel like you owe it to him but-"

"No! It's not only that. He's family. We can't just let Gaea do anything to him. Don't you even care?"

Annabeth was shocked he'd ask such a question.

"Of coarse I care! Why would-"

"You seemed all to willing to ignore him just because there's a possibility that it's a trap. Sure You do show you care." Percy spat.

Annabeth turned red.

She went up to Percy.

"I care for him just as much as you do Perseus! Do you think I want this? That I want Gaea to take beckendorf hostage? I know you feel like you have a dept to him but It always can't be about you-"

"What do you mean about me? this is about him!" Percy answered surprised.

"No. You feel the need to rescue him to lessen your guilt. Like you'd feel better when you made it up to him. It's not always about you Percy. You're endangering everyone if you put everyone behind just for you feelings."

The two were so close to each other. Their noses practically together. Annabeth was standing on her tippy toes.

Both were red with fists clenched in anger.

Percy wanted to say that Annabeth was no better. She was about to abandon the quest just ten minutes ago.

Percy had a side of him saying maybe he was just being selfish.

He couldn't stop himself from voicing it out.

"Maybe I am just selfish. Maybe I shouldn't have stopped you. I'd be in pain but at least everyone else is safe. I mean it's not like I didn't sacrifice enough to save Olympus or anything." Percy whispered with clenched teeth.

He knew the silent crowd probably still heard him but at the moment he didn't care.

Annabeth's eyes started to water as she stepped back in hurt.

Percy wasn't all to different. He hadn't mean the words to come out but he was confused and hurt and angry.

Annabeth looked away.

All the Anger drained out of Percy. He just felt hallow and numb. He hadn't meant to take his anger and frustration out on his girlfriend.

"We'll just leave you two." Piper said awkwardly. Practically dragging Jason and Leo out by their shirts.

Annabeth's gaze stayed glued to the side.

Percy stared at her for a while.

"Annabeth?" He inched forward. Annabeth moved back.

"Annabeth please. Look at me." Percy pleaded.

Annabeth didn't move an inch though

Her gaze transferred to the floor.

"Wise girl. I'm-I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I was just angry and hurt and confused but I shouldn't have took it out on you. I'm sorry. You're right. Gaea would know I'd do anything to save Beckendorf. That's probably why she took him captive. I was just...I feel guilty about what happened and, I don't know what to do. I know you're just as hurt and angry as I am and I'm sorry. I'm just sorry." Percy finished.

Percy cupped Annabeth's cheeks making her look at him. Thankfully she didn't refuse.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

He wiper her tears away with his thumb.

"Me too." She said barely audible but it was enough for Percy.

"I'm just frustrated that we've been through so much then my fantastic boyfriend disappeared for eight whole months and now we're dealing with this!"

"That Idiot." Percy said with a small smile.

"Tell me about it. When we save the world I am so gonna kick his butt." She said leaning into Percy.

Percy buried his face it her hair. Holding her close. Thankful he was selfish and had stopped her from going away.

They've been separated for too long. If they weren't gonna succeed in this then they're at least gonna fail together.

"You go do that." Percy said kissing the top of her head.
