Stark has a child?

Chapter 40

14 shall go south to face the devil

In this war 13 prevail

But one will be destined to fail

The loyal one will be to stay

The camp left in disarray

One will fall to a traitor

And the war will be won sooner or later

Percy hops down into the canal and picks up the sword. He looks at the others. They are still frozen stiff. He looks around and realizes that he is then only one moving.

Yes young one. You are correct. I froze time so you could find your friend without losing time on your quest.

"You stopped time? Wait are you Cronus?" Percy says gritting his teeth at the last sentence.

No my boy. I am Cronos god of time. There is a difference between us. Now you may want to help your friend.

"Thank you Cronos." Percy says.

It is the least I could do for you child. Especially for what's to come. But I will watch over your companions.

"What do you mean for what's to come?" Percy asks.

I have said to much already child but I will say this. You will be hurt in a way you can't imagine. You will want to let go and die. But try to keep on living. There will always be happyness waiting for you.

The voice dissapers and Percy walks down the canal wondering what Cronos was talking about. He sees a figure laying face down in the canal and Percy rushes over to it.

He turns Nico over and Nico gasps when Percy touches him.

"I'm good." He says.

Percy chuckles and Nico turns towards him. "What happened?"

"Water." Percy says.

"Oh that's why it feals as if I have been hit by a freight train." Nico says chuckling.

Percy looks around. He notices that time resumed when he found Nico.

Percy helps Nico up and starts the long trek back to the rest of the group.

"You scared me you know." Percy says.

"Well you do that to me on a daily basis kelp head. Why do you think Thalia and I wanted to go with you." Nico says.

"But what were you thinking when you pressed that button? You should of relized that it was a trap." Percy says.

"What was I thinking? When have you ever thought about things before you do them. Think of what might happen. Think about the people who are with you? You don't think before you do things Jackson. That is one of your problems. Then you give the rest of us heart attacks. How do you think that makes us feel?" Nico asks.

"I... I didn't look at it that way." Percy says.

"You never do Jackson. Or else you probably would have noticed." Nico says.

"Noticed what?"

Nico sighs and presses his fingers to his temple. He looks like he is debating on doing something. He takes his fingers off his head and looks at Percy. Percy is staring at him trying to figure out what he is talking about. The next thing eather of them knew they were both kissing.

Nico had started it but Percy a joined in when he relized what was happening. They broke away needing to breathe.

"You like me?" Percy asks.

Nico nods and blushes. Percy smiles. "Well that's good. Because I do too. I have liked you sence the moment I saw you in the casino."

"You remember that?" Nico asks.

"Of course I do. How could I forget you. A slim 10 year old boy at the time. Dark silky hair. Olive skin. The perfict combination. Perfect in every way. I just wanted to take you from that place right then. But I knew that it wouldn't be fair to you. And then when I saw you at that dance my heart leapt with joy. It broke my heart when you distanced yourself from me." Percy says the last sentence quietly.

Nico kisses him again. "Well I am here now aren't I?"

"Yes. You are. And I am very happy now. Let's get back to the others shall we?" Percy asks.

"We shall." Nico says.

****Notarandomtimeskip****

Nico and Percy walk up to the others who are sitting on the ground talking worriedly.

"Gods you would think someone has died. Am I right?" Percy asks.

They all turned around and ran at the two boys tackling them both to the ground.

"Alright get up. I am going to look for some food. We will camp here tonight." Percy says.

Percy walks out in search of food. He stops when he hears a rustling sound. He looks around and gasps in surprise when a blond comes out of the bushes. There are tear stains down her face and her mascara is running.

"Why Percy?" Annabeth asks quietly.

"Why what?"

"Whay did you chose him? WHY DID YOU CHOSE HIM OVER ME?! I DESERVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE! I HAVE TRIED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION MORE THAT ANYONE! SO WHY DID YOU CHOSE HIM OVER ME?!" Annabeth shouts.

Percy backs away but Annabeth just moves closer. Percy backs up until his back hits a tree. Annabeth gets closer and is right in front of his face.

"I betrayed Olympus for you. I did all that hard work to get you to chose me. And you chose that fag over me. Well I realize now. If I can't have you no one can." Annabeth says taking out a dager.

She lifts it and stabs Percy. Then she takes it out and stabs herself through the heart.

Percy sees dots dancing through his vision and he sees someone charging for him.
