As he plunged into the cold and dark water, the last thought that ran through Percy's head was:

Dry

And then everything went black.

..............******.................

Percy. Percy. Percy.

Percy's eyes fluttered open. All he saw for a moment was white, before clarity came to his eyes and his nose could smell a faint sea breeze. He gasped audibly and then sat up on his bed.

Bed?!

Percy scanned the room around him and his breath caught in his throat.

Camp Half - Blood?

Percy thought. It certainly looked like Percy was in the camp, though he noticed two things suddenly:

One, there was a pungent, disgusting smell coming from somewhere.

Two, there was absolute and complete silence.

Percy got off his bed and looked around for a second, everything seemed normal, except that horible smell.

Percy stood in front of the door to the cabin, his head swirling with questions and other things. He took a deep breath, put his hand to the knob, and opened the door.

And then, Percy screamed. He screamed with absolute horror and terror.

In front of him were bodies strewn across the ground, each ands everyone's face distorted in complete and utter horror on terror on their faces. All across the field, at the pavilion, the amphitheatre, the cabins, everywhere.

Percy stood in shock. Everyone was dead, everyone. His friends were dead.

He walked forward. Conner, Travis, Malcolm, Crisis, Etho, Clarrise, Annabeth.

Annabeth? Annabeth? Annabeth!!!!!

Percy collapsed on the ground. He crawled over to Annabeth. Her usually sparkling gray eyes were now glassy and empty.

"Annabeth?", Percy whispered.

"Annabeth?", Percy said.

"Annabeth?", Percy screamed.

Clang!!

Percy's head snapped to the voice. Zeus's cabin.

He stood up slowly, his eyes never leaving the cabin. He felt for Riptide in his pocket. It was there. He took it out and uncapped it. The sword grew to its full length, glittering in the light.

Percy slowly walked over to the cabin, trying to make as little a noise as possible. Percy head swirled. Should he go in swords swinging or more carefully?

Deciding against the first, he reached the door and pushed it open, his sword still clenched in his hand and adrenaline pumping through his veins.

He gasped, again. Against the far wall laid a bruised and battered teen with blonde hair. Percy recognized him immediately, Jason Grace.

"Jace?", Percy whispered.

Jason looked at him slowly, his eyes narrowing.

"Percy?", Jason whispered.

"Jace! Oh my -", Percy was cut short with Jason lunging at him with his sword. Almost in a second, his reflexes kicked in as he blocked Jason.

"Jason!? What are you doing?", Percy shouted.

"What am I doing?! What did we ever did to you?", Jason shouted.

"What do you mean?", Percy asked, straining to hold Jason back.

"Oh don't joke with me Percy, you killed everyone. It's all your fault!" Jason screamed as he finally broke through Percy's defence to jab at him only to be blocked again.

"What do y-", As Percy said this he felt something come over him, something sinister.

He quickly broke his block stance and went on the offensive. Jason slashed at Percy blocked him easily. Percy than feinted to then left and Jason took it.

Then, Percy did something horrible, against his will. He stabbed Jason right in the stomach.

Shock grew in Jason's face. He slowly looked up at Percy.

"You said you loved me", he said, before collapsing on the ground, unmoving.

Percy felt a smirk come on his face. "Only because you told me first", he replied and then spit on Jason.

Percy felt something leave him, and he collapsed on the ground. He crawled over to Jason.

"No, no nonononono!!!!!!!???""""

"What have I done?", Percy whispered. "WHAT HAVE I DONE".

.................***********.......................

Percy exploded out of the water, landing on the land face first. Pain went through his nose and he grunted loudly. As he quickly turned around, he saw nothing but darkness. He blinked and when his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he noticed a few things.

One, They were in a large grotto or cavern. Behind him was a large cave that ventured further into darkness.

Two, there was a sliver of light coming from outside, where they had jumped from.

And three, the most horrifying one, there was no they, It was only him.

Percy jumped to his feet, and scanned the place. His heart started beating violently when he didn't see Jason. He looked at the water and, without a thought plunged into the icy cold water. He scanned around frantically, praying to every force out there that Jason would still be alive.

Son of the sea god!!

Percy swiftly turned around to see some beautiful fish looking at him.

"Son of the sea god!!", They said.

Percy communicated with them and said, "Have you seen my friend? He has blonde hair and blue eyes".

The fish nodded, at least what seemed liked a nod and Percy followed the fish.

Suddenly, Percy noticed something glow in the water. When he quickly swam to the glow, he realized it wasn't glowing it was blonde hair. Percy's eyes wandered down the hair and he spotted him, lying on the bed. Percy screamed, which probably came out as bubbles and then he swam next to him and hoisted his body up.

As Percy broke the surface, he swam towards the rocky floor with Jason hoisted on his shoulder and as soon as he got there he threw him on the floor and pressed his lips to Jason's.
