Annabeth's POV:

I stare intensively into the water below my feet I could only think how could have been so stupid.

I believed I lies for a whole month without realizing my mistake, everyone tells me to stop feeling bad since tricked as well but my seaweed brain was gone and all I could do was blame my self.

No had seen him for a while almost a month. Some say he lives out in the woods outside the protective barrier certain to meet deadly foes, some say he's dead but I know that he is alive, thinking about how we, his friends betrayed him all I felt was guilt.

Today was the day I will go and find him it was his birthday and he was celebrating without us.

I held the small box wrapped in sea green silk, it reminded me of his dreamy eyes, in the palm of my hand then clenched it tightly leaving the waters and started making my way outside the barrier.

I scoured the woods for hours with no luck until I saw a fire flickering in the darkness of dawn. Hope flittered through my body, I would see him again and maybe just maybe set things right between us.

I crept quietly and hid behind a thick bush obscure from anyone's view. I listened closely unsure of what I was going to see until I heard two voices a few meters in front.

I peered through the gap in the bush and layers my eyes upon a man who had sleek silver hair and the strangest of eyes peering down at a smaller figure who had obsindian hair than the man but what caught my attention were the eyes, those sea green sparkling eyes just like the cloth I held in my hand. Percy.

I could not hear what they were talking about but one of them had a slight tone of frustration in already powerful voice his voice.

All I could make out was "why" "betrayed", "death" and after those last words the silence through the woods was broken by a blood curdling scream of a man, and that man was Percy.

Panic. that's all I thought I lept out the bush I hid in, only to be confronted by Percy who held his stomach from which a knife protruded. Blood was outing out of his wound. what happened?

He looked up and scowled at the sight me and the last words I heard of him would be the words I would never forget. three words.

"I hate you"

His body started to fade, i tried moving but some invisible force was holding me down and in a matter of seconds he bursts into dust leaving me screaming his name while the thoughts that ran through my head whipped rapidly around taking in every possibility of what happened, all lead to the same answer. I could take no more.

I shot up and ran, I ran until my legs burned and my breath short and raspy until I made it into camp. Everyone was awake, crowding around the Posiden cabin hoping that I would bring good news but all I brought to them was heartache and pain beyond what they ever felt before.

The same conclusion played in my head I muttered to myself "Percy Jackson is dead" My seaweed brain was gone. No one heard me they shot me confused looks.

Jason came out of the crowd "what is it Annabeth" he asked

I started tearing up and hugged Jason until I could build up the courage and I soon found myself on the porch of my kelp heads cabin.

"I said" forcing a confident tone to my already cracking voice "Percy Jackson is dead!" Then I started breaking down again as did many others.

Shocked expressions spread like wildfire then turning into cries of sadness. Minutes past with the campers to upset of racked with grief no one spoke, this was the day we would remember the hero 'Percy Jackson' his name will go on forever.

A new voice broke out of the crowd "Good riddance" we all turned to where the voice came from, it was that backstabbing, no good, son of a bitch Alec. All I wanted do was kill him right in the spot but I was beaten to it.

Nico shadow traveled in front of him and pushed a dagger right through his heart.

Soon after all hell broke out.
