Annabeth POV

Every time I closed my eyes I saw Percy being tortured by his dead step-father. We never found out who showed us the images but we knew they were real.

We were on our way to Crete to save him.

Crete is terrible.

Percy's POV

Gabe had multiple swords digging into my every limb. Pinning me to the ground.

"Perseus..." Gabe said. I braced myself for the next sword.

"You have some visitors Perseus."

I was thinking it was Gaea or some horrific monster. Walking through the door was twelve people.

The rest of the seven, Grover, Nico, Thalia, the Stolls, and Reyna.

I was happy....until I saw their faces. Pure rage and hate showing clearly.

Grover walked up to me.

"We were best friends. Then you started becoming the big-shot, the hero of Olympus. You would only hang out with her. So much for friends. What are friends when you got the girl, right?" He said. I had no idea.

He stomped on my chest which hurt being as though he has goat legs I

heard something crack.

Next was Thalia.

"You are just like the other men. I thought you were different but I guess I was wrong. Believe it or not I...I loved you." I gasped at this.

"But it's obvious that you don't feel the same." She said before leaning down and punching me in the face.

Next, Nico. (WARNING! HoH SPOILER!!!!)

"You only saw me as a brother. I loved you Percy and you knew it. And when you figured it out you avoided me like you didn't even know me."

He kicked me in the stomach and walked back to the others who already spoke their confessions of feelings.

Next was Frank.

"We were friends. But I guess that was only temporary right? You have other friends, the Greeks. What's a roman doing with the greatest hero ever right? I mean who needs friends you got the girl back." He turned into a lion and clawed me.

Leo.

"You know...all the others helped me with the boat. They all helped me run it. But you just sat there and goofed off and left me to control an entire ship. But it's not like ships are your thing or anything." He put my legs on fire. I couldn't die because of my father but it still hurt like Hades.

Reyna.

"When Jason disappeared I thought you were a second chance from Venus herself. I fell in love with you and even though you couldn't even remember her you still turned a blind eye. Not even a chance but who could love me right. And not to mention you blew up what was once my only home." She pulled my chest up, making the swords embed deeper.

Piper.

"You never cared. You acted it, but it was never true. All you seemed to care about was her. And that wasn't even real. I could sense that the only thing you cared about and have ever cared about is this quest. Saving the world again hero?" She charmspeaked me into banging my head hard, multiple times on the stone floor.

Connor and Travis.

"You killed him...Luke. There were ways to save him. We've found them." Connor started.

"But no you had to be a hero and kill Luke. As long as you get rid of the enemy who cares who dies." Travis finished. They both, in perfect synch, punched my chest SO HARD...not to mention Grover already broke my ribs.

Jason.

"You always were the leader. You never even gave me a chance to lead. No you had to be the hero and lead the quest. You always have to be the hero." He zapped me with lightning that shocked my entire weak body.

Hazel.

"We were friends. Good friends. But once we were on the Argo you focused on nothing but this STUPID war. No time left for friends hero?" she focused on the swords and made them go deeper.

Finally.....Annabeth walked up to me...whispered in my ear.

"You never truly loved me. You only really loved being a hero." She took out her dagger, the one I thought was in Tarturaus.

She shoved it through my heart.

I wasn't dead. I don't know how but I wasn't. The demigods formed a circle around me. They attacked me with all they got.

And I deserved it. Everything they said was true.

I wanted to be the hero. I even broke some of their hearts.

I deserved it.
