Chapter song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

Chapter 12 (Desirée's POV)-

I had watched helplessly as Percy jumped in front of Annabeth and get pierced with a poisoned sword.

I watched helplessly as Nico Shadow Traveled Percy to the infirmary back at their base camp.

I was sick and tired of just laying here and not being able to do a damn thing about anything! Grr.......

Anyway, when Percy jumped in front of Annabeth to save her, I mentally 'aww'ed at his sweetness. He still loves her and she doesn't even know who he his.

Now, I could see Nico and all of the other armies marching towards the next place where Gaea planned to have the next attack.

But, the strangest thing was, the only person who showed up from Gaea's side was Pericles, one of the other guys from Gaea's army that I had met once or twice.

Ah shit.... Pericles.... Percy's brother. How could I be so stupid?! I should've figured it out.... I am such a failure!

I watched as he patronized and insulted Nico, Percy, Archer, and my unnamed brother for awhile before things got serious.

Pericles reached for a familiar looking arrow and I could feel my heart racing, and I felt my skin tingle with pins and needles.

My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly, gasping for air as my head pounded with a huge headache.

******Nico's POV******

I watched helplessly as Pericles pulled the bowstring back, and letting it fly, making it hurtle towards us at great speed.

I moved my head to the left and closed my eyes, not wanting to see everyone and myself die because of a worthless prick.

I waited for the pain, the scorching, blistering pain that would come from the bomb-like explosion of Pericles's arrow, and I waited for what seemed like ages.

When I heard the explosion, I felt the ground rumble a bit, but I didn't feel any sort of pain that I should've felt.

Was my death quick? Was I fortunate to have a painless death? It shouldn't have been painless at all.....

I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a see through, black-hued, dome-like structure surrounding all of the conjoined armies.

The second thing I saw was the arrow piercing the black force field and loudly exploding against it.

This caused the force of the explosion to roll off of the dome in waves, knocking over Pericles and making the air foggy and grey with dirt and dust.

The third thing I saw was a familiar figure with their eyes closed and their arms in the air, their hands clenched into fists.

I couldn't believe my eyes, and neither could anyone else as they realized that they weren't dead and that they were surrounded by some sort of force field.

The figure was dressed in black ankle boots, black skinny jeans, a silver v-neck shirt, a black leather jacket, and there was a black Stygian sword strapped to their hip: Desirée.

The figure was without a doubt Desirée Andrea Lyrixia Shadows, the girl I was irrevocably in love with.

She opened her beautiful eyes and she stared straight at me, her purple eyes looking into my blue ones.
