Thick and Thin

Chapter 10: Losing His Mind

Percy didn't want to cry she had to be strong, she needed to be strong. She's Camp Half-Blood's leader and one of the leaders of Camp Jupiter.

She couldn't be caught with tears.

But she was losing hope. Her throat hurt, her feet were sore, the heat was unbearable. She was living a nightmare.

She wasn't a complete seaweed brain, she knew Apollo was looking out for her, but she didn't know how much more of this she could take.

Would she ever get married? Would she ever have kids? Would she even get out of Tartarus?

There's so many unanswered questions and that bothered her. She wished for once prophecy's were black and white.

"Lay down Percy, we both need to get some sleep before we continue towards the doors of death. We're going to need all the strength we can get." Annabeth says pulling Percy out of her thoughts.

"Yeah your right," She says taking another look at her engagement ring before closing her eyes and falling into a dreamless sleep.

Meanwhile on Olympus Apollo was losing his mind. He didn't know what to do he couldn't go against Zeus and help her leave, but he couldn't go into Tarturas either.

He'd be damned if he left her for dead. He decided to help her whenever the Fates allowed.

He was the one who gave Annabeth the idea about drinking the fire water. He was the one that led them to the food so they could burn a letter to Camp Half-Blood and eat. He was also the reason that barely any monsters pay them attention.

He knew he couldn't keep all the monsters away, but he did what he could.

They were close to the doors of death, real close and that worried Apollo even more.

If they reach the doors of death he knew somebody would have to stay behind and he hoped it was Annabeth.

Ya ya think what you want call him selfish, but he didn't really care. He planned on marrying Percy not Annabeth.

Apollo was starting to question his fiance's mental health, not that any of this was her fault. Apollo, Hermes, and, Ares all watched as Percy was about to murder misery.

Even though she wasn't really the best person to be around, didn't mean any of them wished death on her. Well besides maybe Ares but he wished death and war on anything moving.

Camp half blood and Camp Jupiter where coming together and planning for war.

They had gotten Percy and Annabeth message and they knew Gaea would be rising soon.

Octavian didn't want to work with the Greeks though. He had a plan to set fire to the Greek camps and burn it down once and for all. He had planned to make his ancestors proud.

What he didn't know was he was just going to piss off a whole lot of God, including the Greek and Roman form of Apollo.

Apollo knew Percy adored Camp more than anything and if Octavian burn down her favorite place he would not be happy and try to punish Octavian personally.

Poseidon was becoming more and more stressed as the days passed on. Just like the first war the sea was beginning to reflect his mood.

All he wanted was his baby girl to come home. He checked on Sally once or twice to comfort her a little bit too, but seeing her only made him sadder.

Apollo sat with Sally mostly on Saturdays. Even if Percy didn't look like Sally they where so much alike it was funny.

To Apollo Percy was the perfect mix between both parents.

He just couldn't wait to have her back in his arms again.
