PERCY'S P.O.V

Percy and the seven (along with Nico and Reyna) were back on the Argo 11.  It had been a few months after the Giant War and the nine heroes decided to come together.  Of course, Percy had been supportive and enthusiastic about the whole meet up. 

More like, pretended to be excited. 

Thank gods Percy had talked Annabeth out of invited his mom and Paul along. What if his mom found out? Percy's stunning, kind, caring, and fricking awesome mom. Percy couldn't take the chance. No. He wouldn't, couldn't hurt her. Percy wasn't going to risk possibly losing them too.  Being down in that hell-hole has done something to him, and it had changed him in ways Percy couldn't begin to describe. 

On Percy's part, he'd tried to forget about what had happened down there. He really did. He tried.  But it turns out trying wasn't enough for the Fates. 

The dreams didn't stop either. 

Percy still woke up in cold sweat almost every night. Percy swore he could still hear blood curdling screams piercing through the air every time he went to the training arena as he sliced the dummies apart. Percy could feel the presence of the blood around him. Wild, swirling, blood. Just waiting to be under his control. He just had to flick the switch and he could control it all...all of it... 








everyone...







STOP. 

stop 

            stop

                           stop. 

Not now. Not ever. 

He wouldn't let himself to break while on that boat. He couldn't.  Mostly everyone he cared about was going to be on that boat with him. 

What about the rest of the seven, Nico, Reyna, everyone at camp, everyone Percy cared about?Hazel, Jason, Piper, Nico, Reyna, Frank, Leo, Annabeth.

Annabeth.  

What if his wise-girl found out?!

S-she would never look at him the same, she would only turn away in disgust. If that ever happened, Percy could understand why. He was a monster. He was dangerous and uncontrollable. He did deserve to be thrown away.

He was a murder, a killer.

How you may ask? Its quite the story.
