The Day The Color Blue Was Ruined

Chapter 3

He saw his dad. "Poseidon?" he asked surprised

   "Percy, come with me" Poseidon responded. Percy was very confused. They landed on a beach, and walked down it. They stopped..., and there stood a very strange collection of people. Nico, Mr. Blofis, and Chiron. They were all wearing very solemn expressions. 

"Guys... what's going on????" Percy asked, his sense of dread growing. He knew something was terribly wrong, and he was beginning to think it had to do with his dream... 

Nico stepped forward. "Uhh Percy... something bad has happened... your mom..." he trailed off at the look on Percy’s face. He yelled "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOM" he noticed Mr. Blofis had been crying. That was it for Percy. He ran toward the ocean, and as soon as he hit the water, he starting swimming faster than any pro would ever dream. Deeper and deeper he swam, until he reached his moms slightly bloated body, a few feet away from a mangled surfboard. He grabbed his mom, and then swam back to shore. 

He laid her gently on the sand, unable to speak, unable to breathe, unable to look at his beautiful mom. Dead. He knelt down on the ground. He pounded his fists on the ground and let out a true, heartbroken scream. 

Nico was thinking... is that what emotion looks like? Nico had never been one to show emotion, just keep it inside and let it screw with his head. He thought back, a few years back, to when his sister died. Bianca, his one person who has actually loved him. When he was a stupid, happy, carefree kid playing mythology. Then she died. And seeing Percy break down over her... he cared for her. It just strengthened the love he felt for him. He loved Percy, ever since he had met him. He had risked his life for him and Bianca. So selfless. 

And now Percy was in pain. He had to help. 

"Percy... I know it sucks. Losing loved ones... well it never really heals, you just get used to the pain. So... just know I love you. And always have. Every time I said I hate you, I meant I hated myself for loving you. And you are the best person I know. I would die for you, in the pits of Tartarus." 

Percy was overwhelmed. He looked up at Nico, who had tears in his eyes. "Nic-" 

"PERCY"!!!!! Cried Annabeth, running down the beach. "HOW DARE YOU LEAVE!!!? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT LUKE WAS TOO ME! AND YOU CRITICIZE ME! YOU INSENSITIVE-"

"YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME INSENSITIVE!!!! MY MOM JUST DIED, AND YOU ARE TALKING TO ME ABOUT LUKE!!!" he broke out in more tears, his words cracking. "Whattt"? Annabeth loved Sally. 

"Get out" Nico said in a deadly silent voice. "Excuse me? I’m his girlfriend-" 

"I said GET OUT! You just spread harm, and cause pain! ALL YOU ARE IS ARROGANT!!!" Annabeth pulled out her knife, hatred in her eyes. Nico laughed. "What are you going to do, kill ME?? The son of DEATH ITSELF!!!??" As he said the word death, an army of flaming skeletons surrounded him, and pointed their weapons at Annabeth. Nico looked truly scary, with his black eyes with the flames reflecting in them. The skeletons charged forward, and overtook Annabeth. She disappeared. "Wha..." Percy muttered, and then passed out. 

Nico began to panic. He just killed Annabeth. ANNABETH. Who had fallen off the side of the cliff for him. Percy’s girlfriend. Well, ex-girlfriend Nico thought, and then started giggling hysterically. Then he realized how much everyone would hate him... With the thought that Percy would hate him, he took out his knife, directed it towards himself, and stabbed himself in the heart.
