Percy Jackson/Heroes Of Olympus Headcanons & One-Shots

Free (Octavian/Headcanon)

Octavian held the knife in his hands. He knew what to do. Slowly, he traced the tip lightly over his chest. He brought it up, and plunged--

"STOP!"

As if repeating it's initial position, the tip of the blade was now right over his chest as Octavian turned you look at the speaker who's words had not-so-miraculously stopped him. "Y-you." Octavian stuttered. His eyes turned cold as he pocketed the knife uneasily. "What are you doing here?"

The one who had voiced out his objection slowly walked towards him. "Stopping you. Did you not get my letter?"

"That was you?"

"Yes it was. What were you about to do?"

Octavian found no point in evading, so he answered honestly. "Stop myself from living any further. I bring nothing to this world. Everybody hates my existence!" Tears were already brimming his eyes.

"Do you know why?" The speaker said quietly. "Because you don't try."

"That doesn't make any sense! What do you mean try?!"

"Remember in the letter I said we all have a good side and bad side? I said I have my bad side under control because I try to. But you, you don't even try. You think you are so weak, so vulnerable but you don't want to be. The only way you can actually stand up to yourself is to let a whole new persona to take over. An evil one. I don't deny that most people hate you, but there are some who don't. Some actually understand you."

Octavian was already fuming. "What do you know?! You don't understand me! No one does!"

"Stop it! You think I don't know what it feels like to lose family? You think I don't know how it feels like to have shards of hatred plunging into me everyday? You think I don't know how it feels like to battle a dark side only because I'm meant to? Grow up Octavian, you're not the only one with problems. There are many of us facing these things eveyday. But only a small amount manage to overcome them." His voice rose higher.

"But you said to change--"

"I said CHANGE, not KILL yourself! Think. You want to change, try and have a second chance in life or die and get eternal punishment in the Underworld for not even trying to change a bit? Think Octavian. I won't be coming back again after you decide. Bye."

Nico di Angelo left Octavian standing there, speechless. His words had hit deep. It never occurred to him before that some people were going through what he was going through. Octavian was going to stop pitying himself. He knew it. He was going to try. He was not going to waste his second chance. He was going to start anew, a fresh start.

He was going to change.

And he was going to be free.

OMG I merged the good Octavian and the bad Octavian chapters together! Some of you already knew it was Nico, I know, but for those of you who don't, here ya go!

Question: Do you fangirl over Wattpad authors? Who?

Like I mentioned a few chapters ago, OliviaLovesSnow was one of my biggest inspirations, as well as MariaRobin.

MariaRobin is now my Wattpad friend and OliviaLovesSnow replied to me when I PM'ed her OMG I WAS SO HAPPY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

One more question: Who's your favourite headcanon/one-shot writer?

It can be anyone, from any fandom, or anything really! That mean troll mayennalee is one of my favoruite oH GOOD GOSH HOW CAN YOU MESS WITH MY RAVENBOLT FEELINGS LIKE THAT
