Not Just A Man

yes

Some people see Rachel as a hippy, or and artist, or someone that works flor a big company

Her face was cold, her once bright red hair was browning, and she sat across from him, a book on her lap, and a cold look on her face.

"What's, wait. Is this a dream?", she nodded, she put a finger to her lips and made a shh motion , before looking at the floor.

It was pitch black, white lines crawled over it. Percy brought his feet up, eyes wide before looking at her and she held out the book, with hesitation, Percy grabbed it.

Percy hissed, slamming the book shut, making Rachel flinch

"When their is good and love in someone you can't just give up on them", Percy looked down at his feet, "Percy, please, camp needs you, Annabeth, you'r kids, they need you"

"And Calypso?", Rachel gave him a firm look, "she'll move on, she has before", Percy felt his fave burn, what was Rachel saying? , was this really what she wanted him to do?

"Peter is dead Percy"

Eyes wide, an unbelievable word

"N- no..."

"Venom crushed him, and if you don't get free to drop him yourself. He will break free and kill others, and you know who he's after, so,

"Fine"

She gave him a sad smile

"I'm sorry", Leo look startled, Percy free his sword and started forward.

"Percy?"

He slashed at Leo
