The Lost Trident: Percy Jackson

I went to the big house attic and it didn't creep me out

"He's breathing" Will mumbled, I turned around so fast I face planted the ground, I looked at the body and saw that Nico's chest was rising and falling.

"Nectar. Will give him nectar!" I shouted. We could hear the gallop of Chiron coming over a look of worry and disbelief on his face. Will poured some nectar into Nico's mouth and a I knew it wasn't going to work straight away because of what he had actually just gone through so you would understand my surprise when Nico's eyes flew open and he sat bolt upright. All 4 of us flew backwards in shock. We had all seen things but this had to be one of the Weirdest, no one has ever immediately woken up after being dead.

"What happened" Nico said sounding like he had just woken up. which I guess you could say he had.

"Nico!" I shouted before pulling him into a hug,

"you're crushing me Percy" Nico stuttered

"sorry" I said letting go

"Nico, but you were dead. There should be no way you could have come back." Chiron said shocked.

"how about we get him to the big house" Annabeth suggested. We all agreed and carried Nico up to the big house where we laid him down on one of the couches and sat down in a stunned silence.

"Percy do you know what you just did" Chiron asked me to which I looked up and shook my head. Annabeth laced her finger through mine whilst Chiron began to tell me what had just happened.

"Percy, you just did something that in all my years of training demigods I have never seen." Chiron's face was had an expression of concern but it was being overpowered by astonishment and admiration.

"you bout someone back from the dead." Those words hung in the air for a moment before he continued

"you scream was so powerful that you brought back someone from the dead Percy, that's never been done before. You are the first demigod I have seen that has ever done that. As well as bringing Nico back to life you also produced a major earthquake and tidal wave." He paused for a minute to let this sink in. it was at that moment that I noticed everyone in the room was soaking wet including me. I quickly dried everyone off so that we were no longer soaking wet and dripping water everywhere.

"what you just did Percy was unfathomable. I don't know how big the earthquake was and if it affected anywhere else but here but I have a feeling the tidal wave was experienced all the way down long island and possibly all around New York city." Chiron told us. I felt horrible, I felt like a monster, I couldn't comprehend what I had just done, I felt dangerous like I couldn't be trusted ever again. In that moment I felt like I didn't deserve anyone. I stood up and walked into the attic of the big house. Now that the oracle wasn't here I felt a lot better about going up there. I looked around the room at all the relics of past quests, Aphrodite's scarf that Annabeth and I retrieved from our first quest was still up here, I walked over to it picked it up and smelled it, it smelt of Annabeth. I looked around at a few of the other relics in the room before I noticed a picture hanging on a wall in one of the far corners of the room. I made my way across the room to look at the picture, it was slightly faded and burnt around the edges. It was a picture of Thalia, Annabeth, Grover, Nico and I after the battle of Manhattan. I didn't even know the photo existed. We all looked exhausted and in need of sleep but we all looked proud of ourselves but upset at the same time.

"I didn't even know this picture existed" I said tears silently falling down my face. I turned around and collapsed into Annabeth's arms.

"neither did I" I Annabeth said quietly whilst looking at the picture. We sat down, backs against the wall in silence for minutes.

"I feel like a monster" I told her "unpredictable and dangerous"

"Percy you're not a monster. I don't know any monster that would ever bring someone back to the life. The fact that you were able to do that shows how much you care about people. If showing that you care for someone makes you a monster, then everybody at this camp is a monster." She told me softly.

"but I was only able to do it because I was angry, and scared. If I wasn't either of those things I don't think I would have been able to do that." I said turning to look at her

"you were angry because you were going to lose someone you cared about and you thought it was your fault, you were scared because you didn't know how other people would react, you were scared because you didn't know if I would still love you. But I do. I still love you Percy" Annabeth said. I tried to speak but no words came out no matter how hard I tried. We ended up staying there for ages in each other's arms with me crying and Annabeth comforting me. That was all I needed. I just needed to know that she didn't think of me as a monster, I needed to know that she still loved me because I don't know what I would do without her.
