Hey I'm back with another chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson series

Percy pov:

How could I mess up so bad? I got to marry Annabeth and become her husband. Then I scared her away and she probably won't ever talk to me ever again. I picture her face when she said I love you to me. I screwed up and there's no fixing it.

I walk through the city feeling hollow. It's been a couple days since the incident and I haven't even talked to her. I don't want to see her face fill with fear when she sees me. I close my eyes and feel pain wash over me. I am a monster. Everyone's terrified of me and I have no one left. I hate who I am and what I've become.

I keep my head down as I walk. I feel like I don't belong in Elysium. They should just take me away from here and put me where I belong. In the fields of punishment. I shake my head. For once in my life I am ashamed to be Percy Jackson.

I am supposed to be a role model for these younger kids. I supposed to be the hero kids look up to. How can I be that when I hurt everyone? Maybe I did win wars and defeat Kronos and hold up the sky. Maybe I did do all those things but I still tried to choke deities. I wanted to kill them. I was angry but that was no excuse to do what I did. I feel bad for my mom to have a son like me. How can she be proud of me now?

I go into a nearby café and see a couple of young teens. They laugh together and most of them look happy to be here. I wish I could go back and change how I reacted. The teens spot me and suddenly turn serious. One of them walks over to me and shoves me. "I heard you tried to choke Lord Hades." He shakes his head and the other boys join him. I could take them all right now but I don't. I decide to listen to them first. "I never wanted to hurt anyone." The lead boy looks at me in disgust. He shoves me to the ground and says, "I hate when people like you make it to Elysium. You don't deserve to be here." He then proceeds to beat me with his fists and his feet. The other boys join in and people start to watch. The only think I do is lay there and let it happen. I keep hearing the same word being repeated by them. Monster. Monster. Monster. I shut my eyes and let the pain wash over me.

Then suddenly the boys are yanked off me. I hear shouting and feel one last kick to my side before it goes silent. I open my eyes and see Luke standing over me. He looks down at me sadly and for a second I feel like a twelve year old again, vulnerable and scared. He holds out his hand and pulls me up. My whole body feels sore and I can feel bruises forming. My left cheek had a long jagged cut on it that leaks blood. I feel it and a sharp pain goes through it. I look at Luke and he has a small smile on his face. "Look like those kids beat you up pretty badly. Why didn't you stop them?" I look away and wipe some of the blood off my face. "I didn't stop them because I deserved it. I'm a horrible person that needs punishment." Luke looks at me in exasperation. "Percy you don't deserve that. You got a little angry so what? You're not a monster trust me. I know what it's like to be one." He says angrily and I know he's trying to help but it makes me furious. "Everyone hates me and I have no reason to live here anymore. Annabeth hates me and who knows maybe she will love you now. Yeah you were evil Luke but you died a hero. I was a hero and now I'm evil. There is no escaping what I am. Maybe everyone will forgive me but I will never forgive myself."

Luke doesn't say anything for a while. When he does, you can tell he is angry. "Annabeth loves you and only you. You are a hero. Who cares if you made a couple mistakes and showed a different side of yourself. The only time you will ever use that side would be to save your friends. You're not a bad person, Percy. I talked to Annabeth and she said that no matter what she can't help but love you. Just talk to her." He says the last part softly. He starts walking away and I realize that he is right. I have to talk to Annabeth. I can't avoid the situation forever. "Luke!" I call. He turns around and I say, "Thank you." He gives me a nod and I start the long walk back to the house.

When I make it there, I find that I am very nervous. How am I going to do this?

Annabeth pov:

I sit in my room reading through a book. I have no idea where everyone went. Luke came back from his walk and told everyone to come with him. Everyone but me. I think he is up to something. I uncross my legs and walk over to the window. Rain pours down in sheets and I can't help but miss Percy. I miss his embrace and his loving smile. I saw the sorrow on his face when I ran away from him. He had the look of someone who lost everything.

I hear a door open downstairs and I become confused. Is Luke back already? I open my door and standing in front of me is Percy. He has his head down and is drenched. He must have been outside. His face lacks its usual luster and he looks so small and fragile. "Annabeth…" When I hear his voice, I break. I pull him into a bone crushing hug. He hugs me back just as tight. "I'm sorry." His voice cracks when he says it. I put a finger to his lips. "It's okay." I bury my face into his shoulder. "We're married and I love you," he tells me and I can't believe I was ever scared of this man who loves me. "I would never hurt you." He kisses my forehead and I smile.

Suddenly, Lee and Castor walk in. They see Percy and break into grins. "Percy we knew you would come back sooner or later." Percy looks shocked. "You don't hate me?" They shake their heads and Castor says, "Of course we don't!" That's when Percy smiles and pulls them into hugs. This is what we have here in Elysium. Joy.

Piper pov:

Jason was set free from Tartarus several months early. That's why he is in camp. The gods decided he was sorry and let him go. It was mostly Zeus who made the decision. I heard that Athena was going to declare war on Zeus if he let Jason out. I guess they talked her out of it. I never knew Athena loved Annabeth so much. I wish my mom cared for me like that.

I walk out of my cabin and see Thalia with the hunters. They have been here for a while now. Nico is hanging out with Will in the strawberry fields. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen the Athena cabin around much. Most of them stay in their cabins and mourn Annabeth. I hate passing by the Poseidon cabin because it's always empty. I always expect to see Percy and Annabeth laughing in there but I never do. This world is so different without them. This is what we feel here. Sorrow.

Thanks for reading! A new chapter will be up soon.
