One Day Soon

🔱-Chapter 1-🔱

Happy, that's what he was. Percy was finally happy, he had defeated Kronos and Gaia, and had the greatest girl in the world as his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase. He should've known it wasn't going to last long.

One evening they were walking along the beach at Camp Half-Blood and they stopped to marvel at the sunset.

"I wish we could stay like this forever," she muttered to herself.

Percy looked down at her and smiled, "So do I Wise Girl, so do I," he said dreamily.

Then a sound erupted from the woods and they both ran off to see what it was with their weapons drawn. When they arrived to where they heard the sound it was empty, nothing but trees and the sound of crickets chirping. Percy turned around to Annabeth to tell her that it was probably nothing, but what he saw he'll remember for the rest of his life. He saw Annabeth lying on the ground, a sword through her stomach, a man standing over her with her knife in his shoulder, and that's when everything went black.

When his vision returned he was in the infirmary with his arms and legs tied to the the wall and a pain in his gut. He looked around and saw Will Solace coming up to him with a black eye and fat lip.

"I'm glad you're awake," he said, he sounded relieved and scared at the same time, "do you remember anything that happened?"

He shook his head.

Will just nodded, "Okay, what's the last thing you remember?"

Percy sat there trying to search through his memories. Unsure at first then it slowly dawned on him and all the memories cam rushing back up until he blacked out.

"I remember walking on the beach with Annabeth," his voice broke, "then both of us hearing a sound, we both ran to it and looked around I couldn't see anything, so I turned to tell her it was time to leave and I saw," his voice broke again, "I saw her on the ground with a sword through her gut, the guy that stabbed her, I don't know who it was, but he had her knife in his shoulder, and that's the last thing I remember."

Will just sat there nodding and writing it all down. When he finally looked up he looked sad.

"Percy, well um, Annabeth is is dead." He said.

Percy just sat there for a second, processing the information. When he did it felt like he was hit with a bus, ran over by an eighteen-wheeler, and then stabbed forty times by Zeus' master bolt. He sat there shaking his head, crying, and saying no over and over again. He only stopped when Will put his hand on his shoulder, with a look of something Percy couldn't recognize through the tears.

"That's not all Percy," he said once Percy had calmed down, "the person that killed her, well you beat him death, when we arrived you were sitting over Annabeth crying. With her knife in your gut, blood on your hands, and a man laying down a few feet away. When me and a few other campers tried to pull you away, you punched most of them, and when we finally got you here we had to strap you down."

He sat there shocked. It did explain why his gut hurt, why Will had a black eye and a fat lip, and why he was strapped down. But one thing was still nagging at him, he couldn't think of what it was, and when he did he didn't even think before he asked it.

"Who killed her?" He croaked out.
