Thank you for the reviews and follows! This is an exciting chapter. The point of view changes in this one so be prepared.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and any of the characters in this fanfic.

Thalia pov:

I pace around the Argo 2. Why hasn't Percy come back and where is Annabeth's body? Annabeth...my best friend is dead. I look toward Jason who sits alone on the left side of the deck. Piper left for her room hours ago. She has yet to come out. I want to kill Jason. I don't care if he is my brother. He killed my best friend and that deserves punishment.

Suddenly, Zeus flashes in and grabs Jason with no explantion. In seconds, he is gone. Why isn't Percy here? I sit on the deck and tuck my legs under me. Nico hasn't come back yet either. Tears streak down my face and smears my mascara.

I wait for hours but no one comes. It has long since turned dark and I wish for someone, anyone to come see me. Hazel and Frank sat next to me for a while but then headed below decks.

Just as I am about to fall asleep, a bright light blinds me. I look up and Lady Artemis is standing there with a grave expression. I run over to her desperate for news. She shakes her head sadly as I approach. What happened that make her so upset? "Thalia, come with me." I follow her below decks and she takes me to where we would have dinner. "I'll get the rest of them." She flashes out and I am left to sit there with my thoughts.

What happened to Jason and where is Percy and Nico? I slump in my seat and plug in my headphones. I blast Green Day and get lost in the meaningful lyrics. I close my eyes and just listen.

"Thalia!" I hear someone yell and I fall out of my seat. I open my eyes and see everyone looking at me. "Yes, my lady?" I ask. Artemis gestures for me to get off the floor. I hastily scramble into my seat. "We are about to start," she tells me and I nod. Artemis goes to the side showing camp half-blood.

It reminds me of Annabeth and Leo. I never really liked the little Latino but it's sad to see him gone. Annabeth being gone is the worst thing I have ever experienced. We made it through the war only for her to die anyway. I knew Percy was going to propose. He showed me the ring and told me about his plans for moving into New Rome. I sadden at the memory. I am brought into reality by Artemis's voice.

"Perseus came up to Olympus. He was angry and distressed. I didn't know what to make of it. What made the Hero of Olympus lash out like this? That's when I saw Annabeth." Artemis stops and takes a breath. "I admired her for being able to be with one of the bravest men I have ever met. Perseus demanded us to search his memories. Father found out that he couldn't. Perseus was filled with too much grief. Father brought that boy to Olympus. I was glad that Perseus knocked him out. After I saw his memories..." I hesitantly put a hand on Lady Artemis's shoulder. She gave me a sad smile before continuing.

"Father gave Perseus an option. He gave him the option to die." My hands fly to my mouth and I feel as if I am going to puke. Piper has tears in her eyes. "Did he accept?" I ask fearing the answer. Artemis slowly nods her head. I bury my face into my shirt. Leo, Annabeth and now Percy. I start to sob and I feel a hand on my shoulder.

Then suddenly I start to feel angry. "How could he leave us like that?" I yell kicking over a chair. My anger mixes with my sadness and I feel as if I will explode. "Now Thalia-" I interrupt her by another burst of anger. "We could of mourned this together! He didn't have to die!" I kick another chair and Artemis looks at me sadly. "Thalia, you have to undertsnad what it felt like for him. His only love got ripped from him by a friend. He couldn't live without her." I spin on her and start to yell again.

"What do you know? You never felt love." I instantly regret it the second it leaves my mouth. Artemis recoils as if she was slapped. "My lady, I'm sorry." She gives me a cold expression. "You were just speaking out of anger." I feel as if I have to apologize even more. "I am so sorry...I wasn't thinking!" I exclaim. Artemis's expression softens. "It's fine." I look out of the window. I then start to wonder what Percy is doing.

Percy's pov:

I can't believe I found her. I actually found her. I wanted to run up and hug her but I didn't think it would be appropriate. She is currently picking flowers and putting them in the basket. What do I do? Do I just walk up to her? She glances my way and I quickly dive behind a marble column. Why am I hiding? She's my girlfriend for gods sake. I need to stop waiting. I step out from behind the column and straighten my shirt. Here goes nothing. I take a deep breath and approach her. She hears me coming and glances over. She passes over my face quickly but then takes a double take.

"Percy!" She exclaims dropping the basket. Brightly colored flowers like I saw in the field litter the ground. "The one and only." I give her a smile. Before I know it, I am on my back and Annabeth's face hovers over me glaring. "Hey! What was that for? Not happy to see me?" I ask. She stomps away from me and I sit up in confusion. Did I miss something? "Of course I am not happy to see you." My smile drops and I take a step back. "Then I'll just go."

I turn around and pain hits me hard. She doesn't love me anymore. "Percy! Wait!" She calls. I stop and reluctantly look at her. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just...I told you to move on." I look down in shame. I gave up my life for a girl who just wanted me to have a happy and long life. She comes over to me and takes my hand. "Percy, did you ask the gods to kill you so you could be with me?" I shake my head and look into her beautiful grey eyes. "They asked me and I accepted." Annabeth just shakes her head but pulls me into a hug.

That's when I remember the ring. I pull it out of my pocket. Annabeth stares at it in shock. "I was going to give it to you next week. Too late for that I suppose." I hand it over to her and she opens it. I had it specially made to transform into a dagger if she ever needed it. "You were going to propose?" I nod and squeeze her hand. "I know we were only seventeen but I couldn't wait." She looks up at me with watery eyes. "How did I get so lucky?" I smile at her and pull her into another hug. We stay like that for a long time until we are interrupted.

A beautiful woman comes out of the house. She smiles when she sees us. "Already found someone Annabeth?" Annabeth shakes her head and gives me a small smile. "I think you know who he is." I turn my face to the woman and gasp in shock. The woman's hands fly to her mouth.

"Percy?"

"Mom?"

I know Sally didn't die in the books but I had to make a twist.
