Hi! Okay, I know I said that this was going to be a one-shot, but apparently this is not a one-shot anymore. A bunch of people reviewed and one was like "write more!" (thank you Avery10) so this is the result. P.S: Sorry, but none of the chapters are going to be as long as the first one. At least, I don't think so.
Review replies:
Guest: I feel like that all the time too :)
Compliment Giver: Well, Piper is a daughter of Aphrodite, and I like to think that the Aphrodite cabin has found out what shipping is and ships Percabeth (because who doesn't!). You're right about the sass part, but I just had to write that :D
Avery10: Thanks for making me do this :)
WhiteEagle1985: Yeah, it is, isn't it :(
And finally, thanks to Matanator for fav/following this, thanks to Compliment Giver for favouriting, thanks to Jazzywazzy101 and thanks to survivoroftartarus47 for following. O_O I'm overwhelmed, so many reviews and favs and follows overnight! So thanks from the bottom of my heart. Sorry if this chapter looks different or something, because the last one was done on my phone and this one was done on my computer. I don't own PJO and see ya!
SALLY
Sally was sitting on her couch, staring into space as she sipped her coffee. Or, more specifically, staring at a picture of Percy and Annabeth. They're so cute together, she thought, and tried to keep brainstorming for her novel like she should be doing…but Percy kept distracting her. She wondered if he was okay, and if he and Annabeth had defeated Gaea yet. But she didn't spend much time worrying about it, because they had always came back safe and sound with only a couple of scars to tell the tale.
Suddenly a cloud shimmered into existence in front of her, and Chiron appeared in the middle. His eyes were red, and behind him a bunch of campers were standing around looking devastated. "Hello, Sally," he greeted her. "I have some bad news for you."
Sally sat up. "What? Has something happened to Annabeth? Or Percy? Where are they?" She desperately scanned the background for information, but all she could see were campers and more campers. None looked very happy.
Chiron hesitated. "Sally, Percy and Annabeth…Yesterday they fought with the other members of the Seven to defeat Gaea. Everyone put up a brave fight, but there were losses sustained."
Well, that explained the general unhappy campers. "Oh, I'm so sorry," Sally sympathized. "Who was it? Piper? Leo? Jason?" Her heart panged. Percy had told her so much about all of the members of the Seven. (A/N: I doubt that he actually did, but…)
"No, Sally," Chiron explained. "It was…"
In that split second, Sally understood, and her world fell apart. The cup of coffee she was holding shattered against the floor, ruining her Oriental carpet, but she barely noticed. All she could think about was Percy. She had somehow blindly assumed that he would always come back to her. But this time, he hadn't, and this time he never would.
Chiron gave her a sorrowful look, even as a hollow pit of emptiness threatened to consume her. Sally tried to remember Percy's face, but found to her horror that she could barely see it in her mind. Waves of grief crashed over her as she fell back onto the couch, sobbing her heart out. With every tear that streamed down her face, her mind flashed through every memory she had of her little boy, and of Annabeth. I love you, she thought, and fresh tears rolled down her cheeks as she curled up into a ball, and every fiber in her body screamed that it hadn't been Percy's time to die, but what could she do about that?
Percy and Annabeth were-no, had been-demigods, and demigods had to fight monsters. It was inevitable, some part of her mind whispered. And Chiron's still there.
She didn't care. She didn't care. Sally wondered if she would ever care about anything ever again.
Well, I've never tried this, but I gave it my best shot. Thanks for reading, and please review! Next chapter will be Poseidon and then Athena. After that I'm open to requests!
