Natasha POV

"That was so awesome Percy. You can sing!" I exclaimed, "And what about you. Your voice, you sing great. You should sing for me more often from now on." Percy said making me blush slightly as we and the gang exited the cafeteria, "So what now?" I asked and Percy held my waist, "Now you say bye-bye to Jack so I can give you a personal tour around camp." Percy said with much persuasion in his voice.

"Bye-bye Jack." I said, lost in Percy's sea green eyes, it was beautifully light. Percy removed his hand from my waist and held my hand, "We'll meet at the camp fire tonight." He told Jack and he nodded, Jack went with the boys and I went with Percy.

The tour with Percy was great, with each site he showed me, there was a story he could tell, and my heart just melted in his smile, our hands never parted even once. You must think our hands must have gotten sweaty, but not at all, here and there we would meet people who would greet Percy, he was loved and pretty popular.

We were walking on a field, and giggling like love sick teens- we were love sick teens. "Percy, what's that?" I asked as I saw a black figure charging at us, "Is that a hell hound?" Percy asked, "I don't know and neither do I want to find out." I said pulling Percy trying to run away but Percy stood still, "Do you wanna die?" I asked scared and all Percy did was bring out of his pocket a golden pen.

"That is a pen, it's a pen. You are supposed to use your legs right now, not a pen!" I said panicking, "Cerberus." Was all Percy breathed, "Cerberus!" Percy called seemingly excited and happy as if he was meeting his best friend, "Percy did you smoke something strong before you went on a walk with me?!" I asked as the hound got closer. Percy laughed and I felt like I am gonna get sick.

The hound finally reached our position, and it grabbed Percy and ran away with him for a few miles- not far from me then it dropped him and from my view it began devouring him. "Percy!" I cried out as tears fell from my eyes, I felt so numb that I fell to my knees as my heart bled. Rain began to fall and thunder boomed so I lied on the grass field, hugged my knees to my chest and finally bowed my head.

I was basically in the position I was in when I was in my mother's womb, I cried so bitterly and the rain just got worse and the thunder rumbled even more. A few minutes later I heard Jack call out my name. "Jack, dont come close- stay away." I said not bothering to sit up, or look up from the ground I was lying in.

"But Nattie I can't come close to you." Jack said in a far away voice, "That's because I don't want anybody close to me!" I cried, "But Nattie what's wrong?" I heard Percy's voice. "Jack stop it! Don't imitate his voice, you are making it worse." I cried because he was the only god in the camp that could imitate anybody's voice.

I then began hearing sounds like someone was punching something but it had special effects like it was in a movie or something- then I heard the hell hound's bark and I stopped breathing and I worried about Jack- which made me hyperventilate, I really wished I could help him but I was only human.

I closed my eyes tightly and thought about a shield that could protect Jack, something so impenetrable that nothing could harm him. "Nattie what happened, what's wrong. Please tell me- maybe I can help." I heard Percy's voice again, "Stop it. Percy is dead. You are not helping. Just stop it!" I cried.

"Nattie, can you see anything around you at the moment." Percy's voice asked and thunder boomed again, "No." I answered pissed because someone was still using Percy's voice. "Okay, now look up and see, it's really me- Percy." Percy's voice said and I slowly lifted my head but I could not see anything.

I then sat up and then stood up and looked around myself bewildered, there was a green boundary around me and it prevent me from seeing anything past it- not even the sky. It was a greenish, whitish, round hemisphere made of grass and roots. "What is this Jack?" I asked, "I could ask you, it was done by you Nattie." I heard Percy's voice answer, "Listen, I am asking really nicely now, stop using Percy's voice. He was devoured by a hound a few minutes ago." I breathed loud enough so that someone outside could hear.

"But Nattie I am fine, it's really me- your Aj." Percy's voice answered and I realised that only Percy knew that pet name. "Percy." I breathed as my heart slightly became at ease, those words had given me hope that my Percy was still alive. "But how do I get out of here. I want to see you for myself." I said in a croaky voice from all the crying, "Just calm down and think nothing has happened, imagine that the sphere disappeared." Percy said and I did just that.

A few seconds later, the sphere began disappearing into the ground, and when it was completely gone, I saw Percy standing before me, I looked around, it had stopped raining and I saw campers staring at me and at something behind me. I turned around and saw the same hemisphere I was in, I took a glance at Percy. "Jack's inside. Just imagine it away." Percy said and I did just that making it disappear.

When I saw Jack was okay, I looked at Percy and I could not help the tears that flowed from my eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?" Percy asked as he walked towards me and embraced me in a hug. He rubbed my back trying to calm me down, "I thought you got devoured by the hell hound." I cried and then Percy parted from me, he gently wiped my tears.

My vision suddenly became blurry and I saw many Percys at once. I felt everything being drained out of me as the blurriness got worse, "Nattie, are you feeling okay?" Percy asked his voice sounding very far away from me, I blinked once and then closed my eyes and fell onto Percy.

I felt my body being lifted up, but what happened after that I don't know...
