Lily's POV

I run down the mountain only stopping at the bottom and fall back against the wall of a building, tears threatening to spill down my face. Just as I think I might find someone, I mess it all up, and I'm never going to be able to apologize for it. I push myself off the wall when I hear campers of Camp Half-Blood cheering for Percy. I quickly wipe my face and run towards the sound. Sprinting round a corner I spot him, surrounded by demigods, so I push through and pull him in for a hug, my arms wrapping around his torso and his arms gently slipping round my waist. "I did it Lily. He's dead. But Luke gained control and killed himself. He used Annabeth's dagger and plunged it into himself in the one spot that could kill him." Saying this, he buries his face in my neck, and I feel tears slowly soaking the top of my shirt.

"Percy it's going to be okay. He was a hero; he did the right thing." I reassure him, gently running my fingers through his hair. "Hey Percy, I –"

"PERCY, LILY! Rachel's at camp! She says that she wants to become the oracle!" We hear Nico shout for us, we look at each other in alarm, and rush to camp.

"Wait. So other demigods were there? Did you recognize them? Are you sure they're demigods?" I am sat at the canoe lake, telling Percy about what happened at the titan's base. "Percy, I already told you. I've never seen them before today. But they were trained, and could see through the mist. They were demigods, I'm sure of it," I sigh and rest my head on his shoulder, his arm wrapping round my shoulder. We always sit like this when talking, or just hanging out in general. Being raised by his mother from a young age made us become almost siblings, and we tell each other everything. Well, almost everything, because I haven't told him about Jason.

I don't want him worrying about the argument we had, and don't need him asking about if I think he's cute or not. "Hey you've zoned out. Are you okay? You've seemed off since we got back."

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. I'm just thinking... it's nothing."

"If you're sure. It's nearly curfew. We need to get back to our cabins before the harpies catch us. I'll see you in the morning."

"See you tomorrow, Percy."

Percy's POV

There is something wrong with her. Did something while I was up on Olympus? I hope she tells me what's wrong tomorrow, I'm getting really worried about her now. She's my sister, she wouldn't be hiding anything from me, would she?
