That's Not My Life Anymore | Percy Jackson Chaos || COMPLETE

Epilogue

"Ow, Percy, you're hurting my head!" Bianca complained, laughing. It had been about a week since I'd gotten back to camp. Everything had gone more or else back to normal.

Bianca and I were in my bathroom, trying to get the light brown hair dye out of her hair. She decided that she wanted her black hair back. She was sitting on a chair in front of the sink, and I was trying to wash the dye out. It was actually going pretty well, considering I'd never done it before.

"Knock knock," Dawn said, standing in the open doorway. I looked over.

"Hey Dawn," I said. I pulled my hands out of the now light brown water, and dried them on a towel. I turned back to Bianca, "Okay, I think we're done."

"Great," she said, sitting up. She grabbed the towel that was beside her, and wrapped it around her hair.

"What's up Dawn?" I asked.

"The campers want us to tell them our real identities," she said.

"So?" I asked. "That's what they've wanted all along."

"But now they're going to do something about it," Dawn said. "Omega, maybe we should just tell them." I sighed and looked at Bianca, trying to decide what would be best.

"My real name is actually Hunter," Hunter said, stepping forward and taking off his mask. "I never actually had a life on earth, all I knew was my name. So I figured I might as well keep it, since it sounds like a code name." He put his white mask down on the ever growing pile on the table.

Everyone in the army was telling the camp their real identities. I gave them all a choice, but they all decided they would do it. No more secrets.

"My name's Jess," Mustang said, stepping forward, and adding her mask to the pile. "Daughter of Demeter."

It was Bianca's turn next. I squeezed her hand and whispered, "Good luck."

"My identity might come as a shock to you," Bianca said. "I knew quite a few of you, once upon a time. In fact, one person in here is my brother." She took off her mask, and pulled down the hood that had been concealing her hair. There were multiple gasps of surprise around the room. "My name's Bianca di Angelo, Daughter of Hades."

I could see Nico sitting at the Hades table, looking like he wanted nothing more than to run up and hug his sister. I finally stood up.

"Just like Bianca, my identity will probably come as a surprise to you. I knew all of you once. We all respected each other, a long time ago. But then something unfortunate happened, and no one ever wanted to talk to me," I said, recalling my time as a camper. Like Bianca, I took off my mask and pulled my hood of my head. "I am Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon."

Everyone was staring at me, shell shocked. I just smiled, and stared back. I started thinking about how weird all this was. Bianca came to stand next to me.

"What are you thinking?" she asked, looking over at me. The campers were still gawking at the army, but neither of us paid any mind to that.

"I just find it hard to believe this all started back in the sixth grade."

***

Bianca kissed me that day.

The camp welcomed me back.

Hayden... well Hayden was still an ass. But by now, everyone had accepted that.

The army decided we would spend most of our time with Chaos, but we'd visit Earth more often.

I learned a lot that day.

I accepted a lot.

I finally accepted that Annabeth would never come back. Neither would Luke, or Zoe or Silena or anyone else who died. But they would live on in our hearts. It's okay to miss the people who are gone; but you shouldn't let the grief rule your life.
I'm in control of my life now. I will never get over Annabeth dying, or my father disowning me. But I am still alive, and I want to live my life to it's full potential.

I have control; and I will never, ever, give it up again.
