Percy's POV We ran for a while, going from destination to destination for the hints and photo spaces we were supposed tp go to, arguing and laughing about who's turn it was to take the pictures and what we were going to do with our buying privileges when we won the game against our dad's. Then out of nowhere a cold sweat hit me and I stopped mid-run, suddenly racked in pain and dizziness. Spirals and stars began blinking in front of my eyes and though I could see Thalia and Nico's pale and panicked faces yelling, mouths moving in speech no words were heard. The only sound was a muffled buzzing in my ears, growing louder as the world began to blur around me and darkness engulfed my vision-
...
"Percy? Hey, Percy wake up, it's alright, it's alright." I jolt up and for a moment there is only the same buzz, same hazy blur in front of my eyes before it finally clears to show me a pair of worried eyes. Grey eyes.
"Annabeth?" No. Where was Thalia and Nico? They- they were right beside me-, "What's going on, where's Thalia, Nico, my father, Zeus, Hades-"
Her eyes have dark circles underneath them and she brushes a lock of her blond hair out of her face. Her mouth has a tense, wary set to them. "Percy, what are you talking about?" She said, shaking her head. The lock of hair falls back into her eyes. "You were hit pretty hard on the head last capture the flag game, don't you remember? They thought you'd gone into shock or a coma or something, you just shivered and muttered things under your breath."
That can't be. No, we were at Disney, and we were having a contest-, " I was going on a road trip. Bonding. Thalia and Nico, and Hades, Zeus too... You were there Annabeth, don't you remember?"
"No." She said softly. The annoyance that was in her eyes is gone, replaced by- what, pity? I was on that road trip. That was all happening. Zeus had gotten a bucket of popcorn up his nose. But why, but why- "Percy, the gods haven't had any contact with us for the last three months. Olympus is out, and war is on the brink of beginning. Percy, there is no Camp Half Blood."
War. No Camp Half Blood. Olympus down.
All I can do is just stare.
No.

Wow. Well that was dark.
Okay, I know. I know you guys are going to kill me because of this, this crap ending to this -well, not so fabulous- story but well, I'm sorry. I lost heart. School is just really killing me and what with the pressure of grades and parents and what not- I just, can't. I know that I haven't written for a good 6 months and I kept putting my self off but I can't do that anymore. I'm sorry, but I am done. I just can't keep going with this, you know?
I just want to say thank you to all those of you who were actually waiting, actually wanted to continue to read this story and I have a shout out to all that still participated in the last contest but, well, I'm sorry.
Thanks to all those who did the contest last chapter and I am so sorry I couldn't pick a winner, all those ideas were amazing. (There will be one last contest by the way that I would love if you guys tried) Thanks to:

So many thanks. I can't say sorry enough for what I'm doing as I truly am, it's just with school and all...
If you guys really, really liked this I'll consider starting it up again after this block of 'ugh' is over, but for now, it's done. I'm sorry you guys. There will be one last chapter as the giant shout-out and though it is quite late, if you wish you of course may still get on the list of all you amazing people that I'd like to thank.
*Sigh* Just for old times sake, let's end this chapter on a contest, shall we? An extra special shout-out to all those who participate. And the question is...
What day did I upload this chapter? (Actually, if you look very very carefully, it's somewhere on this page.) A bit of a search and find question, but I know you guys can do it.
Sorry again, and please, do do the contest. Just for one last smile as I loved seeing all your thoughts and witty jokes on the comments.
I'm sorry...
-For doing this. Happy April Fools everyone! ;)
