The Missing Souls

My birthday

~>I don't own PJO or HOO<~
Annabeth's Pov-
Today is Percy's birthday.

My seaweed brains birthday. He would be 18.

I couldn't help but thinking where are you my seaweed brain?

I suppose one day I may find out. He could be dead, confused without memory, reborn, or perfectly fine we had no idea.

In front of cabin 3 there is a shrine with pictures, spoils of war, letters, candles, and riptide or what would be riptide we never found it.

I stepped into cabin 3 letting the scent of the sea breeze overcome me, making me smile slightly. It reminds me of him. Something about cabin 3 makes me feel close to him, almost as if he's there. But then I remember he's gone.

I could just sit here for hours reminiscing our times together.

Alas, I must go so I won't become overcome with grief.

As I turn to leave letting the last of the sea fill my senses, a whisper breaks the eerie silence. I barely make it out as always, "always" I whisper back as if he's here. I shake the feeling and step out of cabin 3.

*Time Skip To The Campfire*

Tonight at the campfire we were going to talk about Percy, even the gods were coming.

It would be fun reliving all the memories with him, and Grover but it would be sad because Percy's not here. The campfire as it reflects the mood of the camp, was low and dull.

There were 13 flashes, and a weak flash. (includes hades and hestia)

The weakest belonged to Poseidon, who looked worse everyday. "Ok, well let's begin shall we?" Zeus asks. Grumbles of "yeah," "sure," and "whatever filled the air."

"Well let's watch his life through an iris message, the older he gets the slower it will go" Athena announced not very happy about it.

It opened with Poseidon standing over a baby Percy smiling, while Percy giggled. "YOU VISI- " Zeus was cut off with Poseidon yelling "SHUT UP THUNDER HEAD."

Percy swimming in the ocean when he was little, preschool, and Sally marrying smelly gabe. Then the abuse started gabe yelling at, hitting, kicking, and punching him.

Poseidon lost it enraged and quickly swiped the iris message whispering "I refuse to watch my son being abused."

"Well I guess Grover and I could tell about our quests. Right Grover?"

"Uh, yeah," he mumbled. "How about you begin?"

"Ok," Grover started. "We met in 6th grade when he was 12, immediately I knew something was special about him. Chiron and I knew it was him after the museum field trip." Grover got up and whispered something to Chiron. "Well where was I, oh yeah after the museum field trip when the fury attacked him."

"HADES, YOU SENT A FURY AFTER MY SON."

"Well I uh," Hades cowered under his glare.

"After the museum trip when the fury attacked nothing really happened till the end of the year. We rode the same bus home in the middle the bus broke down, we saw the fates I went to get on the bus but Percy stayed and watched the string get cut-"

"HE WHAT, HE SAW WHAT AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME!"

"or us" Chiron and I added.

"Oops I guess it slipped my mind."

"YOU GUESS IT SLIPPED YOUR MIND!"

"Ok since this isn't working out why don't we just watch an iris message starting with his field trip" Athena asked. There were mumbles of "yes," "yeah," "sure," "whatever," and "enchiladas?"

So we watched an iris message of our first quest. People were shocked, crying, reminiscing, or amazed at our first quest.

Poseidon was in tears, and thinking how did my son, my favorite child go through this when he was only 12.

~5 years later~
Percy's Pov-
Today is my birthday.

I'm 23 and it's been 5 years since I 'died' and so far Kronos wasn't back or attacking anyone yet. I still missed everyone but I was ok I guess, I never loved anyone else but my Wisegirl.

I still would watch her sometimes. I go to earth once a year invisible during the winter solstice, just to check up on things. But I couldn't talk to anyone.

The whole shockwave team burst into my room carrying a huge blue birthday cake. It was blue, with nemo characters, and an underwater theme. It was AWESOME.

"Thanks guys" I said lunging at the cake. In between stuffing my mouth with cake I said "This is" "really" "good."

"Woah slow down there Perce" Beckendorf said. "Oops to late I already ate it all" I said, brushing crumbs off my shirt. Then chaos said the thing I had been hoping he would say for five long years your going back to earth...
