The Purely Dark Demigod

Letters from the dead

***Will's POV

Well, you'd think that me, the freaking doctor of Camp Half-Blood would get used to seeing excessive injuries.

NOPE.

I mean,  first a girl falls out the sky, heals automatically, catches Zeus's bolt, calls him drama queen, and apparently she is friends with my dad. Plus, THE FREAKING HECATE CABIN BOWED DOWN TO HER.

They don't even bow down to gods- how their still alive, I have NO idea- yet they bowed down to her.

I held up my arrows.  Then Percy asked what her name was.

"I'm Ella. Ella Jones." she replied with a lopsided grin.

That smile looked so familiar.....

"What the hell is a purely dark one?" I asked. Nico winced. Opps. I forgot that using 'hell' as a curse word can trigger some unpleasant memories from Tartarus.

"A purely dark one is a person who has complete control over light and dark. Plus, in rare cases, they can be demigods. This gives them every single godly power. Which makes me more powerful than anyone on this world." she explained.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Even the Gods?" she inquired. Ella nodded. "Yep." 

"No offense," I started, "But how are you still alive?" She laughed. "The gods want an ally, not an enemy. Besides, I'm ONLY 17"

"Have you been claimed?" Chiron asked. She shook her head. "For some reason, the gods won't tell me who my father is. I kept on asking, and that pissed off Zeus so he blasted me off Olympus."

"You lived on Olympus you're whole life?" Percy asked, confused. "Nah. I had to choose either Olympus or the Underworld. I chose option number 2." Ella said.

"Why would you want to go to the Underworld?" I asked incredulous . I looked at Nico who glared at me. "No offense.." She frowned. "I wanted to see my dead family." 

"Oh.." 

"Why couldn't you stay at Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter?" Annabeth asked. Ella laughed nervously. "Well, I accidentally read the future when I was 12. Since The Fates didn't want me to change the future, I had to stay in the Underworld." 

I was speechless.

Nico held a time-out sign. "You KNEW that the titan war, war with Gaea, and FREAKING TARTARUS would HAPPEN?!" he yelled. Ella nodded. "Believe me, I wanted to stop all that from happening, but I couldn't." She looked really guilty. Like she hated losing loved ones, and even more so hated seeing others go through that. She took a letter out of her pocket.

"For you."

She gave us all letters. I got one from... Michael?

Dear Will,

I really miss you. You were the best half brother ever. Don't blame yourself for my death. I died on that bridge to stop the Titans. Knowing that I saved my loved ones made my death mean something. Tell dad, and everyone else that I love, and miss them.

From, Michael Yew

I sobbed. "H-How?" Ella smiled. "I became friends with everyone in the Underworld." she explained. I looked at Nico. He was smiling. 

"Did he just smile?" Travis whispered to Connor. 

I walked over to Nico, and he showed me his letter.

Dear Neeks,

I really miss you! I'm back from rebirth. I don't ever want to try that again. I ended up being a mortal, and I died in a car crash. Don't you dare blame yourself (Or Percy) for my death. Idied willingly. Don't grow up too fast Okay?

Love, Bianca Di Angelo

I walked around. The Stolls, and Annabeth got letters from Luke. The Aphrodite cabin got a letter from Silena, and at least 10 letters were adressed to Percy and Chiron.

All we could say was "Thank you."
