Okay, since it's been a little while since a chapter's been in Percy's POV this one is. *Sighs* Alright, so after dragging it out so long you finally get to find out who Libby's Olympian parent is. *Claps* Congrats to all of you who guessed correctly!

Percy's POV:

Oh my gods! Olivia was just claimed and I was gaping at her, not believing what I was seeing. I guess it explained a lot though…

I have to tell Wise Girl! I wasn't sure where she was at, so I checked almost everywhere. I went to Thalia's tree, the dining pavilion, the beach, and Zues' Fist, before figuring the only place left she would be was her cabin. I sprinted for the Athena cabin, and knocked on the door.

One of Annabeth's half-siblings answered the door.

"Hey Malcolm is Annabeth here?" I queried.

"Yeah, just a second," He said, while giving me a weird look before turning around and walking a little ways into the cabin. I figured the look was because none of her siblings were particularly happy about us being together.

"Annie! Percy's here!" I heard Malcolm call to my girlfriend.

"What Seaweed Brain?" She groaned sleepily.

"Olivia was claimed!" I told her. Her eyes flew open and she was suddenly wide awake.

"By who…?" She inquired, interested. I took a deep breath, pausing for dramatic effect. Plus I knew it would bug her, and it's kinda fun to drive Annabeth crazy.

"Zeus!" I exclaimed.

"No way!" She exclaimed in response.

"Yeah, I'm totally serious!" I told her.

"Wow… Well, that sure explains a lot. She does kinda remind me of Thalia," she noted.

"Yeah," I agreed.

"So are you coming to dinner?" I asked her. She just shook her head sadly.

"Alright," I said, concerned for her. "Goodnight Wise Girl, sweet dreams," I told her.

"Yeah, g'night Seaweed Brain," She said, but most of her words were drowned out in a yawn.

Wondering what was up with Annabeth, I wandered over to the dining pavilion. I wasn't really hungry, but I saw Grover sitting at my table, so I went to slide in next to him.

"Hey G-man," I said greeted him..

"Hey Perce," He greeted me in a dead tone. Awww, poor Grover. I felt really sorry for him, and I wish I could do something to cheer him up. I mean, he's my best friend and I hate to see him hurting. Then I noticed something that made my jaw drop. Grover had an enchilada on his plate, and he wasn't eating it! In all the time I'd known the satyr, I'd never seen him let a perfectly good enchilada go to waste.

Suddenly I heard him whimpering, and I knew he was about to lose it again.

"Awwwwww Grover, man, It's gonna be alright," I said, trying to soothe him.

"I j-just can't believe she's g-g-gone," he sniffled.

"I'm so sorry Grover, We're all gonna miss her," I told him honestly.

"T-thanks Percy," he said, before somewhat calming down. We, well I, ate in silence after that. Grover just stared moodily at his plate, stabbing it with a fork every so often.

I wasn't tired after dinner, so I flitted from place to place around camp, before I ended up sitting under Thalia's tree. I sighed, and leaned back against the rough bark of the tree. Today had been a very long day. I sat there for a long time, thinking about everything from my friends and my training, to my upcoming birthday. My dreaded 16th birthday, when I would decide the fate of the Gods. The outcome of a war. Lucky me, I thought wryly. I wasn't too worried about what would happen to me; mostly I was worried that I would screw up. Or that something would happen to my mom, Tyson, Grover, or…Annabeth. I struggled to think the last one, if something happened to Annabeth, and it was my fault…that would just be too much to bear (bare?). Then I heard rustling and I turned around. Grover was stumbling around in the dark (it was a cloudy night so the moon provided little light) and muttering.

"G-man?" I called out to him. He started at my voice but walked over to me. He sat down wordlessly beside me.

We didn't talk for a few minutes, but my curiosity got the better of me.

"Grover…How did Ju- Uh I mean how did it happen?" I asked him quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. He took a deep breath and it was another few minutes before he replied.

"We were sitting and talking, just having a good time, and there were several campers hanging out nearby. Suddenly a Minotaur charged out of the woods. A lot of people freaked out but Clarisse and some guy from the Ares cabin attacked it. Juniper froze, out of fear I guess, when she saw the Minotaur. You know fighting isn't my strong point, so I just wanted to get Juniper out of there. I yelled at her to move, but I guess she didn't hear me. I kept yelling at her, but I wasn't getting any reaction from her. I pulled out my reed pipes and played something to make vines grow and hold the Minotaur, so we could get out of there. I told her that once I stopped playing, she had to run. I was nervous 'cause I still didn't know if she was paying any attention to me or not. I stopped playing and took of running. I prayed to every god I could think of that she was following me, but a minute later I finally heard a scream. I turned to see Juniper fall and hit the ground with a sickening thud, just as Clarisse stabbed a sword through the Minotaur and killed it. I ran to Juniper, crying, and checked to see if she was breathing. She wasn't. Chiron found me there, leaning over her crying and begging her to wake up. He put a hand on my shoulder, and shook his head," He explained.

It seemed like there was more but his voice had been cracking more often, and I could tell it was getting harder for him to continue. His voice was really hoarse from crying so much. He just starting sobbing again and couldn't continue. I was at a loss for words, so I just put a hand on his shoulder and kept saying the same thing over and over.

"It's gonna be alright G-man. Everything will be alright," I told him, and I really really hoped it was true.

Alright, I feel like this was way OOC, and kinda over dramatic. Sorry this one totally bites; I was struggling for what to write really bad this chapter. Review please, and tell me what you think. ( No flames please)
