The Percabeth Trials: The Hidden Hero **Haitus**

A shooting pain tears through my side. I gasp around the feeling of an arrow shooting through my ribs. Likely the same one I shot through Geryon on his ranch. Its phantom point is lodged somewhere deep inside, the shaft impaling through bone as if they're made of thin ice. Breathing gets harder the more air I try to suck in, and I think I can feel something warm and wet filling up the empty spaces of my lungs. Drowning me.

I want Camp back. I want my friends back. I want my mom. And Paul. And Chiron. And Blackjack. And my cabin. And Riptide. And Annabeth.

I want my Annabeth.

The war with Gaia did not go as planned. The demigods weren't defeated, this is true, but that doesn't mean all of them won.

In a terrible twist of fate, Gaia unleashed the Arai on the Greek and Roman camps. Many are hurt, but none as much as too specific demigods.

Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase will never be the same again.
