Percy's POV

I finally cooled down at the lake. The conch had just signaled dinner time.

Everyone was almost there when we heard a boy run into the camp, a demigod.

"Monster!" he yelled.

We looked over the hill to see a chimera, the one creature I feared. I would of died if I hadn't jumped into the water as the poison was killing me at the Saint Louis Arch.

That poison...I shuddered when I remembered it. My whole body felt like it was on fire and my blood was gasoline. It was as if I was having my heart ripped out and my stomach was burning with acid. It was the worst pain I had ever felt.

The only thing to come to comparison to it was the River Styx.

Not to mention it was the one monster I could never defeat. Great.

"Percy. You can get it, right?" Chiron asked nonchalantly. Why me?

I couldn't face that monster. I was too scared. I couldn't get poisoned, not again.

"Of course." I reply.

Mental facepalm.

I nervously walk towards the chimera. The whole camp wants to see me fight it. Even better!! (Note my sarcasm).

I walked through the boarder.

One look at it and I paled. It's evil red eyes stared into my soul. It's snake tail's fangs were dripping with venom.

I grabbed my sword, ready to charge. This is it. I can do it.

It growled, poison shooting straight at me.

I ran back into Camp.

"What was that Jackson!" Clarrisse yelled, laughing. Her ugly siblings were joining in while Annabeth wouldn't meet my eyes.

"Chiron," I said ignoring her, "I can't fight that monster. I just can't. Send someone else out. I'm not going to dinner."

I left the clearing and walked to my cabin. I could hear taunts from everyone. I was ridiculed.

A month later

Still Percy's POV

Coward.

That's what they call me nowadays. No matter what I do to try and prove myself it's always the same result.

I'm a coward.

And now I'm forgotten. Just a face in the mythological crowd.

I was forgotten.

I couldn't take it anymore. I had no friends. They were "too ashamed" to be friends with me. The love of my life doesn't feel the same way. Poseidon practically disowned me for my actions. Sally moved to Hawaii for who knows why.

They ignored me. I didn't even exist to them. Half the time they would look right through me as if I wasn't even there.

So naturally I ran away. After all...thats what cowards do, right?
