Percy's POV

I hate shopping, especially when it takes me away from spending time with Annabeth. This time though, I had to go. My mother just sold her first book and wanted to celebrate the success by going shopping. She promised to buy me large amount of blue food, so you can say I was bribed. Honestly though, I am happy I get to spend time with my mother. After I fell into Tartarus with Annabeth (My totally awesome girlfriend just so you know) and slayed more monsters there than whole CHB did together, I had peace. Seems no monster wishes to pick up a fight with me now. Guess it is going to be peaceful shopping. I was mistaken.

We were sitting in a café near central park when I saw three hellhounds speeding my way. I sighted. Of course. They are too stupid to know who I am. Without even really thinking, I drew Riptide and slashed the one that was first to jump. Sidestepping from the attack of another, I saw and opening and pierced him. The third one tried to run, so I threw my sword at him. Not the smartest tactic, but Riptide always returns to my pocket anyway.

When I was done, I returned to the table. People were looking at me and my mother, but honestly, I stopped caring. What does it matter that they will think I've beaten three poodles with a baseball bat. If someone really have a problem, I will just gladly explain that they attacked me. There is no poodle or baseball bat, so police has no proof. My mom did not even ask. This became so easy lately. I really liked my life. I mean, why wouldn't I? I've got most beautiful, intelligent kickass girlfriend in the world (this and other), I go to school where I did not blow anything for half a year, my little sister is healthy and happy... I could go on and on with this for much longer, but I think you got the point.

After coffee we went to do a bit more shopping and returned home. There awaited a surprise. Rachel Elizabeth Dare was sitting in my living room talking with Paul.

"Hi Percy. Look who came visit." Greeted me Paul

Rachel also stood up about to say something, but her eyes turned green and she started speaking in oracle voice. Even after all this times, it is pretty creepy.

"Until Eternal's brought down to his knees
Son of Poseidon shall find nothing but tears
Doomed children of gods united in grief
Each without future trapped in The Pit"

She then fallen back onto the sofa and started crying. I starred in disbelieve. Son of Poseidon shall find nothing but tears? Great. Another prophecy about me. Guess my talking from before caused Fates to scream loudest "LOL NOOB!!!" in the history. Eh... Just as I thought there will be some peace. I approached Rachel and put my hand on her shoulder
"Are you okay? You don't usually cry after prophecies.."

"It's about..." sob "It's" sob "Annabeth is dead!" she finally managed to speak up. The moment I heard it, I felt rage and disbelieve. Sink in the kitchen exploded, same with toilet. Probably our neighbors were experiencing flood of the century, but I didn't care. You may ask why did I believe Rachel. Well... a) she is an Oracle, b) the prophecy sounded like something just for this occasion c) when she said that, I felt in my guts that she wasn't lying.

I could not control my emotions. Annabeth, love of my life, the brightest star in my world, gone? That could not be really happening. I tried to concentrate, but it's not easy when YOUR SOUL IS BEING TORE TO SHREDS!!! Water started gathering around me, forming large hurricane. "NOOOOO!!!" Just then, I felt pair of hands hugging me. I saw that my mother somehow got through all the water and tried to hug me. I finally stopped and collapsed on the floor, drained of all power and will to live on.

I woke up in my bed, with mom, Paul and Rachel sitting next to me. At first I could not remember why exactly did I pass out, but then memories came flooding. I did not to sink whole building again, but my power was down. I couldn't even rise my arms, not to mention standing up. Only words I managed to say was quiet "How?", before falling back to sleep.

When I finally woke up for real this time, I saw Chiron in his wheelchair sitting next to me. Rachel, mom and Paul were no longer in my room.

"Your mother called me." He explained when I sat up in my bed. "You probably want to know what really happened..."

I stayed silent, trying my best not to cry. My Annabeth... gone. I never thought she would actually be gone. I hoped we would live our long life together and in the end we leave for underworld to finish like we started: side by side. We would live in New Rome, go to college there, Annabeth could get a job as an architect and I could try and become marine biologist. Everything was supposed to be perfect. And now all my dreams gone, shattered to pieces. There will be no common future for the two of us together.

"You see, when Annabeth was giving tour through Olympus for some younger campers, she got into a fight with Hera"

That was it. This half-wit witch of my aunt took away Annabeth from me. After stealing my memories and sending me away from her for over half year, now she dares to take away My Wise Girl? I will show her what I think of her. If she thinks that I would be afraid, that I wouldn't dare touch her because her husband is king of gods, she is mistaken. I have nothing to loose now. She took Annabeth from me, so now she will feel the wrath of Perseus Jackson

When my thoughts raced with fury, earth started to shake. I could feel the raging storm gathering inside of me. I felt the power of the sea not so far away. Concentrating, I tapped into this power. Every toilet, tap, hydrant and sewer exploded. In just a matter of seconds, gallons upon gallons of water flooded the room and took me out through the window. In moments, I was standing atop of giant tsunami. I saw people screaming and running away, but I did not care.

From the top of my lungs, I screamed at the Empire State Building

"AFTER WHAT I DID FOR YOU, HOW I SAVED YOUR ASSES MORE TIMES THAN ANY OTHER HERO IN EXISTENCE! HOW I THOUGHT TWO WARS! YOU STILL TAKE HER AWAY? YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE UP THERE HOPING I WON'T REACH YOU? YOU HAVE AWOKEN THE FURY OF THE SEAS AND NOW I WILL GET YOU! GIVE ME BACK MY WISE GIRL!!!"

And just then, a lightning struck me.
