Joyful Reunions [Sequal to Painful Goodbyes] [Completed]

Chapter Four: Gun in Hand

Percy's P.O.V.
I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. At some point, Luke and the others came out. Him and Selena hugged me and she whispered things to me as I cried.

I pulled me head from her shoulder and looked around at all of my friends gathered around me. "Why do you all still like me? I got all of you killed. And I lied to you. To everyone. And everything is my fault. Why are any of you still here?" I whispered. I didn't deserve friends like these. I didn't deserve Elysium. I deserve Asphodel at best. Why am I here? Why are they here?

Why am I loved?

Selena's P.O.V.
I stared, heartbroken at Percy. He was so devastated and so broken. And he didn't understand that none of us blamed him. "Percy," I said softly, gently grabbing his face and making look up at me. "Percy, no one blames you for anything. You're our friend. You didn't get us killed, our own choices did. You tried to save all of us. Percy, stop blaming yourself." Charlie say next to me and nodded.

"No one else blames you, Perce. So stop blaming yourself. We all love you. You're like a brother to everyone here. Even if some of us didn't know you for very long. You taught us all a lot of things." He said. I turned and pecked him on the cheek.

"You're wonderful." I whispered.

Mysterious Shooter's P.O.V.
I walked through camp, waving at my 'friends' and smiling. My sister ran up to me and grabbed my arm. "You have to come! Quickly!" I looked at her and rolled my eyes.

"Why, Lacy? What's wrong now? Can't you see that I am obviously busy?" I said.

"But Piper's a wreck! We need some one to do her job while she's incapable and since she never appointed a second in command, we need you! Please, Josh stole Mackenzie's hair drier again and we can't get him to give it back even though he has his own! And he wanted to go through your stuff too, but was stopped him. Please come help!" I sighed and nodded.

"Alright." I said. Lacy dragged me to the Aphrodite cabin and I walked over to Josh. "Josh," I said, making my voice sweet and sugary as I filled it with charmspeak. "Honey, give Mackenzie her hair drier back." He nodded and handed the hair drier to her. I turned to Lacy. "There, see? That was easy." I turned back to the rest of the cabin. "Now everyone back to your schedules! Shoo!" I herded everyone out if the cabin and closed the door. Then I walked over to my bunk and opened my chest. Looking into it, I saw color coded clothes and my makeup and personal things. You would never expect to find what I was hiding. I pulled out all my clothes and threw them haphazardly on the floor. From the bottom of the chest, I pulled out a sworn and weathered bag. I unzipped it and stared longingly at its content. I wished I could pull out the rifle I had used to kill the son of Poseidon and shoot the pesky daighter of Athena, but that wasn't the right weapon. Instead, I rummaged around until my hand closed around a familiar grip and I pulled a Glock 43 - 9mm. This one would do. I wanted everyone to know it was me. I wanted people to see me kill that bitchy blonde-haired freak. But not yet. The time wasn't yet right. I just had to wait a little longer. I tucked the gun back into the bag with my other guns and zipped it back up, placing it in the bottom of the trunk, and carefully covering it once again with my clothes.

Until I decided that it was time, no one would know it was me who killed Percy Jackson.

A/N Word Count: 654
That one was really short.

And it was really crappy.

But does anyone have any guesses as to who the shooter is?

No? Well I'll tell you.

The shooter is, drum roll please...

PSYCH! I'm not telling you.

I had you going there for a second didn't I?

No?

Oh well. I tried.

But you will find out maybe next chapter.

Or by the next few chapters.

Or whenever.

Anyway, at least I updated! Yay!

Here, have a cookie for sticking with me and my horrible writing and terrible dedication!

BLUE COOKIES FOR EVERYONE!

Now, I must go before someone decides to kill me for taking so long to update and for this being a really crappy chapter. So,

Yours in demigodishness and all that,
