Percy POV

It's been almost a week since Jason stormed out of the house. He hasn't stepped foot into this house ever since. He was gone as far as I was concerned. Dad was worried at first, but I just told him that Mom got better and Jason was allowed to go back. Dad is such a dimwit. He hadn't even called to check if I was right. He just gave me an "Oh well, that's good" and left for work.

On the other hand, Annabeth was worried sick. She hasn't been herself ever since he left. She keeps telling me that she's sad about Matt, but I knew that was a lie. Every time I look into those calculative eyes, it was like an open book, so vulnerable to the world. Nobody ever stops and takes a good look at a person. They only see what the person puts off-the show that is onstage. They never want to see what's on the inside, what's behind the curtains-after the show is over.

I plopped down on my couch, sighing heavily. Everything was over. Annabeth doesn't have to worry about Matt anymore, and Jason is out of my life. So why does it still feel like something is terribly wrong?

The sun shone brightly outside the window, tauntingly. I watched the trees sway and the leaves dance to the whispers of the wind, blowing softly over the calm neighborhood. Two young boys run freely outside, not a worry in their little minds. I grinned, wishing desperately that could be me. Closing my eyes, I mused of the times me and Jason had together, before Mason's death.

Hiding behind a bush, Jason and I ducked down out of sight-hiding in the shadow. We had to stay silent-for the police would find us. The sky was stormy, close to a harsh rain. That only added to the fun.

We tiptoed as quietly as we could behind a tree, but not before stepping on a stick, the sound disturbing the eerie quietness.

"Shhh!" We both said, turning around to look at each other. A smile slowly crept on our faces, and we both erupted into laughter.

Getting our head back into the game, we took out our plastic water guns, and stood back to back. I scanned the horizon. Spotting a deer, a smirk appeared on my face.

"Jason," I whispered, a plan surfacing in my mind, "I think I see something over there."

We slowly walked over to the destination, my stomach jerking with anticipation, knowing Jason was falling into my own trap.

Turning around, I pointed my gun toward my own brother, earning a confused look.

"Percy," He asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm actually an undercover cop working for the CIA. You have the right to remain silent!" I said in a husky voice. "I' m taking you to jail for your fowl deeds!"

Watching his innocent eyes turning large, he exclaimed, "You'll never take me alive!" And started running as fast as his legs could carry him.

Jason was fast...but I was faster. I caught up to him easily, and shot him side, leaving a large water stain. I watched him fall onto the grass over dramatically.

With one hand on his heart, he cried out to the skies above: "I'M SHOT! OH THE PAIN! GOODBYE WORLD!"

And with that, he fell onto the ground with a thud, and 'died.' I rolled my eyes at his dramatic performance. Lying down next to him, I saw his dimples emerge his face.

"I thought you were dead." I joked, staring up into the gloomy sky. Unintentionally, I loved it. The cutting wind, flowing through my hair, the smell of evergreen trees, the cool air, touching my skin, and what I loved most of all-the dark, grey sky, staring right back at me. It was reliable, always there.

Jason narrowed his piercing blue eyes. "Yeah. I'm a zombie now and I'm going to eat your brains in the middle of the night." He said ominously with crystal-clear sarcasm.

I socked him lightly in the stomach, and he chuckled. My attention turned to the sky again.

"Look." Jason said, all of a sudden. "That one looks like a bunny!"

I gave him a look. "Are you blind? That's totally a panda-" I began, but the roaring thunder interrupted me, sending waves of panic through my veins.

My brother jumped, and ran to me, hugging me tightly. Sometimes I forget that I'm the older brother...and sometimes I didn't want to be.

A flash of lightening traveled through the sky, lighting up the ominous sky. Rain drops fell from the heavens above, and we both ran back into the forest-finding shelter under a canopy of trees

I could feel Jason trembling under my touch, his teeth chattering furiously.

"It's okay." I reminded him. "Your big brother's here."

He looked up at me. "You promise?" Jason asked, his voice faltering over the loud rumble of the storm.

I looked into his terrified eyes. I hated seeing him this way. I never wanted to experience anything horrible, even if I knew this world was imperfect-full of flaws.

"Forever and Always." I whispered, staring up into the clouds.

I grimaced at the thought, watching the two children. It wasn't fair. Why was the world so happy when I was sitting here, tortured by the thought of my own brother out there somewhere. The promises we have made...broken. Where have the times gone?

A horrific sound broke me out of my thoughts, clearing my head. The front door was broken; the wood was torn so badly that it formed wedges-sharp as a knife it's self. And there stood Jason, with a shred of wood in his hand, his face expressionless, but his eyes glowing with anger.

Jason POV

The words struck me like a dagger through the heart. How could Annabeth say that? I give all my love to someone and they throw it away, leaving it in the darkness to rot. I've spent my whole life, suffering in silence. Not anymore.

I took a couple steps forward into the house, and waited until he got up.

"Jason?" Percy asked, his eyebrows furrowing

I narrowed my eyes. "No... I'm Santa Clause coming to deliver your over-due presents!" I remarked with icy sarcasm.

Percy shot me a glare. "Funny."

I gave a dry laugh, completely full of bitterness. "But you really dont need anything, dont you?" I questioned him, circling around him, finally getting my feet to work.

"Not exactly."

I scoffed.

"What do you mean by 'not exactly?" I spat. I couldn't believe this ungrateful little bitch was standing here and telling me this. How could he not be grateful for what he had? Becuase just like that-it could be taken away from you. Like Mason was taken away from me.

His eyes darkened. "I don't have a family."

Those words took me by surprise.

"Yes you do." I countered hesitantly. "You have dad."

Percy just shook his head, clenching his teeth down.

"What happened to forever and always?"

I looked at him, bewildered. "Forever and always?" I asked, trying not to laugh. This was unbelievable. I didn't think he would remember that. And I didn't want him to. Because that Jason was gone.

He nodded stiffly, trying not to cry.

"You lost me. You lost me ever since Mason died. And that Jason isn't coming back. Ever." I hissed.

"Jason..." Percy choked before I slammed him up against the wall, grabbing him by his neck.

"Don't give me that shit. First you take the life of our brother. Then you take away the only girl that I've ever loved. "I screamed.

A tear ran down his cheek as he closed his eyes tightly.

"Now you will know what it feels like to suffer all you life-having something taken away from you."

His emerald eyes almost popped out of hi s head. I sneered at the stupid expression he had on his face. "Don't. Touch. Her," He managed to gasp.

A malicious grin crept slowly on my face, looking at the chunk of wood I clutched tightly in my hand.

"Oh don't worry." I reassured him. "It won't be her that gets taken away from you."

I raised the dagger like wood over my head, looking into his helpless eyes.

"Good-bye Percy." I said, a repugnant smile tugging at my lips.

Annabeth POV

Walking to Percy's house, I saw that similar bright red car that I recognized to be Jason's. My face lit up, into a huge smile. Jason was like a puzzle peice to my life. Without him, it like I was incomplete. He was like a big brother to me, a sibling that I never had. I turned the corner to their house, only to see Percy pinned up against the wall, with Jason holding his neck, about to plunge the stake-like weapon into him.

"NO!" I shrieked out in horror, trying to get my feet to move. But they were planted on the ground, completely paralyzed.

Jason dropped the wood, in surprise and let go of Percy.

"This is not what it looks like." He tried to explain, running over to me.

I felt the anger swelling up in me. "Not what it LOOKS LIKE?" I screamed at him, trashing out on his chest, but he seemed unharmed. Percy lay on the floor, gasping for precious air.

"You almost killed your own brother!" I said, in disgust, hitting his shoulder as I ran over to Percy.

"Annabeth." Percy said, breathless, staring into my pained eyes.

I cried, sobs wreaking my body. "You're okay." I said joyously. I reached out to touch his face, but I felt two strong arms pick me up and carry me away from him. I got flashes of my past, my dad carrying me from the person I loved most- Mother. I could almost remember the sound of the blaring sirens, the choking sounds that I realized to be mine. I remember the smell of the toxic smoke in the air, and Dad's strong hands-carring me away.

I squirmed furiously, screaming Percy's name over and over as Jason threw me into the bathroom.

Tying my hands back, he whispered harshly. "This is for your own good Annabeth. He doesn't deserve you."

"Let me go you asshole! Percy is and always will be better than you." I spat, tears flowing down my face.

Jason narrowed his eyes and pulled out a roll of duck tape. "Silence is golden...and duck tape is silver. Which one do you prefer?" He asked wickedly.

"I'd rather die." I bawled, struggling with the back of my hands as he slapped the tape over my mouth.

"MMM!" I mumbled, screaming for my life.

He gave me a smirk and a little wink before slamming the door, turning out the lights and locking it tightly.

I stayed still in the dark for a while. When I heard him walk away, I started getting to work. His knot on the string that wound around my hands was almost embaressing. Where did he learn to tie it-boy scouts? I was tied up almost every night living with Matt...

I easily slipped through the knot and ripped the duck tape off my mouth, wincing harshly at the burning feeling it left behind. Turning on the light, I started getting to work. Rummaging through Percy's drawers, I searched for something to unlock the door. My hand grabbed something I didn't expect. It was an old crinkled paper, in the way back of the box.

Without You

Without you, my life would be an endless void of darkness.

Without you, my world would stop spinning.

Without your grey eyes looking into mine, I will never be complete, only scavenging the world to find something to fill my heart again.

Without you, I have no reason to live.

Without your warm embrace, I am cold, empty-alone.

Without your dazzling smile, there would be nothing to encourage me to move on, to continue the labyrinth called life.

Without you...I am nothing.

~Percy Jackson: January 23, 2013

I teared up, clutching the paper tightly, holding it to my heart. This was when Jason had forced me to stay away from him-the worst month in my whole life.

I would save him, if it was the last thing I did.

Finding a screwdriver in the way back, I effortlessly picked the lock and swung the door open, only to see the moment Jason stab Percy in the side. Percy fell head first, his whole body shaking the floor as it fell.

"NOOO!" I screamed, a cloud of darkness overwhelming me. It drained every single speck of light, taking over me completely. It felt as I was being stabbed myself repeatedly in the heart-the pain didn't stop.

I ran over to him, dropping on my knees. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." I sobbed helplessly, looking at the blood spilling on the floor-the color of the flames that had taken my Mother's life. And it was going to take his too. When I looked up, Jason was gone, only the wind blowing across the still house.

I took his hair into my trembling hands, watching him stutter. It looked like he was having a stroke- his arms were trying to grab on to something unreachable.

"Stop." I tried telling him, but I knew it was really directed to myself. "Be still. It's going to be alright."

"Annabeth." He gasped, looking into my tortured stone eyes with urgency. "I love you."

I felt his breath stop and I threw myself onto him.

"NO!" I screamed, hypervenallating. "YOU CANT LEAVE ME! NOT LIKE THIS! PLEASE PERCY!"

I whailed into his shirt, not wanting to let go. Taking a shaky breath, I began to sing the first song I've ever heard from him, so long ago...

"I have died everyday waiting for you...darling don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a thousand years...

Ill love you for a thousand more..."

"What has he done?" I asked the guardian angels above. "If it was anyone, it should be me. Please, I love him. He's all I have left." I whimpered.

Percy's eyes fluttered open, the emerald like orbs shone with brilliance. It was like I was looking at a god, rather than a human.

"Percy!" I shouted with disbelief, flinging myself onto him. "I thought you were gone forever!" I inhailed his oceanic scent, the warmth of his body.

He scowled at me, pushing me back.

I looked at him confused. "What wrong?" I asked, wanting to be in his embrace again. There was something different about him. His expression was harsh, as if he had locked out everyone in his life. His caring eyes turned cold, as if the windows to his soul was shut down, completely unreadble.

"Who are you? And who is Percy?"

SUPER HUGE CLIFF HANGER! MUHAHAHA! Sorry for the three points of views again. It's hard to switch so often but I thought it would help explain this chapter better. So yeah please make my day and review at the bottom (even if you are a guest!) Thanks!
