A sleepover, a grocery run, and a bottle of blue food coloring. It was supposed to be a normal day. It wasn't.
When Percy Jackson witnesses something no demigod--no child--should ever have to see, his world shatters in a single heartbeat. Haunted by his past and drowning in fresh grief, Percy disappears into the shadows of the city.
Now, it's a race against time. As Annabeth, Thalia, Will, Jason, Nico, and even Leo scramble to track him down, memories resurface. Secrets break. And when they find him, he's not the same boy they knew.
This is a story of panic and pain. Of quiet protection and louder love.
Of what happens when grief strikes a demigod-and who stays behind to help him rise again.
Because some scars never fade.
But neither does the love that tries to heal them.

This starts off with A LOT of fluff. Like, a whole lot that you might think it actually is a fluff fanfic, but I promise it DOES get ansty. It's a short story, so don't expect a novel.
