   "Well, my story starts on a normal day at camp. It was a calm and peaceful day, until a piercing scream rang through camp. I ran over there, I saw a boy and the Minotaur. I defeated the Minotaur. The boy knocked me to the ground, picked up Riptide, and threw monster dust onto himself. The campers came, and he told them he defeated the Minotaur. Most of the older ones believed me, the younger ones stared at me disgusted.
"For the next couple of weeks he spread rumors about me, stole from others and blaming it on me, and took most of my friends from me. My only friends left were Nico, Clarisse, Thalia, Hazel, and Annabeth. But Annabeth has been distant lately.
      "I decided I wanted to propose to Annabeth, and make our love last forever. Athena gave me a quest to go on, and I succeeded. Hephaestus made a ring for me with a diamond owl with sea green emerald eyes. On the back, the words 'Wise Girl' and 'Seaweed Brain' engraved.
"I wanted to surprise Annie for I completed the quest early. When I got there, I heard cheering coming from the beach. Walking over there i saw Justin, my brother, kissing Annabeth. Then Poseidon showed up saying Justin was his favorite son, I was a mistake, and that he disowned me.
"I left camp after that. When I went to my moms house, I saw she and Paul were dead. They were hung by rope with throats slit. Not being able to see that scene, I packed food and some books before I left.
     "I was wandering about for 2 months. That's when dad found me. He brought me here, and I am glad he did." I finished.
     Luke had a look of anger on his face, Bella had a look of surprise, and Zoë had a look of sadness.
     "But it's ok, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be here today." I reassured them.
     "Ok, if you say so. But I just can't believe they would do that to you." Zoë said.
     I looked at the watch I was wearing, it read 11:25 P.M. I looked up at them.
    "Guys, I think we should be off to bed. It's 11:25 P.M. It's getting quite late." I said.  
      "Yeah, night Percy." They said in unison as they headed to their own rooms.
       Walking over to my door, I opened it. Setting my swords and scabbards on the midnight blue dresser, opening a drawer in the process. They were already filled with clothes. There were shirts, jeans, sweats, cloaks, socks, and many other clothes.
      Grabbing a  Galaxy shirt and black sweats, I put them on. I headed over to my bed and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out cold.

                    Percy's Dream

     I was back in Tartarus. Standing before me was Gaea, Kronos, and Tartarus. They had creepy smiles. So I knew, I was being tortured tonight.
   First, they chain me to a wall covered in blood and then grabbed they grabbed 4 knives each. The knives were celestial bronze with a stygian iron handle. Also, they had the tip of their blade.
One by one, they threw a knife knife at me. One chipped my ear, another struck my thigh, and the rest were throw at my arms and legs. It hurt A LOT.
They unchained me from the wall and dragged me to another room.
This room had a large, glass tank filled with water. When they got next the tank and threw me in. It was alright at first, then it started getting hard to breathe. I was being drowned. Looking around me, I noticed the water turned a greenish color.
Poison.
Black dots danced in front of my eyes as the poison stung my lungs and skin. As the dots almost completely covered my eyes, I was pulled out of the tank of poison. I was looking straight at them and their creepy smiles of satisfaction.
As they dragged me along to the next torture room, I saw it was filled with whips and knives. Also, there was a fire in the corner and a chair in the middle of the room.
Tartarus shoved me into the chair, and then Gaea grabbed a knife. It was stygian iron. She showed to me, then she placed it in the fire.
After 5 minutes, Kronos pulled it out. The blade was a bright red color. Kronos walked over to me and started writing, with the knife, on my arms.
He wrote 'REJECT' and 'HATED' on them. Then, he handed the knife to Tartarus. Tartarus then cut 'HEARTLESS' and 'IDIOT' on them. Blood seeped out of the fresh wounds I just sustained.
As they dragged me to another room, I started to not be able to see anything. I then woke up.

                          Dream End

     As soon as I woke up, I saw blood on my arms and legs. I read the words on my arms and legs. Then I got to work. Since I have the powers of creation, I created some gauze tape to put it over my cuts.
   After I wrapped my legs and arms in gauze, I checked the time. I looked at my dresser, it had an alarm clock on it. The time on it read 6:20 A.M. When they gave me a tour, they told me meal times. Breakfast is at 6:30 A.M.
I got up, and I walked over to my dresser. Each step hurt, but I would be fine. Opening the drawers, I grabbed a black shirt, pitch black jeans, combat boots, and a cloak. The cloak was black with Galaxy and pacific blue streaks.
The cloak covered the gauze on my arms, and my jeans covered the gauze on my legs. The shirt covered the gauze I needed on my stomach. But I think someone might notice.
                          Time Skip

When I got to the dining hall, I saw my friends. I limped over to them. They stared at me, they probably noticed my limp. All they did was look at me expectantly.
I sighed.
"Hello guys" I said, trying to cover up the fact I'm limping.
"Why are you limping?" Leo asked me.
"It's nothing" I answered quickly.
Bianca looked at me.
"No, it's not just nothing Perce. What happened?" Hetalia said.
"Fine. Well, you all know I went to Tartarus, right?" I asked.
They nodded.
"Ever since I left Tartarus, I was always tortured in my dreams. They would drop me in tanks of poison, throw daggers at me, and worse. But the worse pain was that the pain I sustained would still be real in reality. That's what happened." I told them as I looked downward, ashamed I go through this.
"Percy, there's no need to be ashamed about that. It could be worse, but your still here. So, we should be thankful your still alive. But you don't have to be ashamed about something like that" Bianca said as she got up and hugged me.
I'm bit my lip for she was hugging my stomach.
"Thanks Bianca" I said.
"That's what cousins are for." She said.
