I'm running. That seems to be what I'm always doing now. My breathing is labored but I know I can't quit yet. I tell myself, "Just one more turn," but it's not true. I'll never leave this evil place. Not with who's running it. I turn a corner but then skid to a stop.
Fifty feet ahead is a weeping angel. I backtrack quickly, because I know if it catches me I won't simply go to the past.
He has ordered them to turn us, their prey, into them. That's how Lucy died.
I manage to make it through five more turns before I see another. This time I just stare at it, deciding where to go.
Before I can make a decision though, I feel a stone arm around my neck.
The snapping of the vertebrae resonates around the two old angels.
And the single new one.

Broken (Slow Updates) (discontinued)
("I want it all to end," he whispered, rocking himself back and forth. "There's nothing left for me. I mean nothing to anyone. I am nothing." "No, Percy. You mean everything to me.") Excerpt from Broken, AlexusAP The day Percy became suicidal was a day in the history books. He was all over the news, blurry pictures of his scarred chest and bleeding neck and wrists were everywhere, people knowing him just by the pictures, though they never showed his face. Sent to a recovery center named Olympian Acres, he then finds a silent girl with blonde hair, reading books all the time and taking an interest to him. Though she attempted to stay away, Percy tried to get her attention, unless he had bad days where he would stay in his room in the dark. If only his mother were still alive, none of this would've happened. I will be dedicating this to Hunter_Of_Artemis884 for all of her support no matter how small. This story is more on my mood as memories are distracting me for some reason nowadays. And yes it starts off realistic but then becomes slightly unrealistic(still could be, depends on your views). I wrote some while I was dying in bed sick so, that is my excuse for any strangeness. #52 in theseven #883 in broken #512 in percabeth #411 in annabethchase #455 in hunterComplete
Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)Complete
Alkaria - unedited
I hear the clanking of metal loud and rigid from behind me, I feel the wind rush past as I sprint, they are still chasing me. I'll be honest I don't know what to do, quite frankly it's hard to think straight right now. I feel my body shutting down as the adrenaline is losing its punch, I can't run any faster. I'm always running, they are always chasing me. I don't even know why they chase me, I don't know what I did and like them they won't say. Do they even know? Am I just unlucky? Someone they picked at random to be the new subject of there torture? I wont let it happen. That's why I'll stay free, never fully contained. I think about the one I love, Charlie. I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is safe. "Hey! Weapon down sarge, we don't want to kill her!" A guard's shout smacks me out of my train of thought. By this point I've gained some distance due to them having heavy armour. This stops me in my tracks though, I hear the guards slow down too. I stop, I realise, they want me alive. They aren't going to kill me, they don't want me dead. I have a gun, if I just point it at myself what are they going to do? I turn around and I look at all of the guards who have stopped in their tracks heaving in confusion. It's silent, even the wind is merely a whisper, all that can be heard is the panting of everyone on scene. They want me alive, they want me alive. I turn around, towards my chasers. I notice the guards straighten as I do so, instinctively I hold my gun to my neck, one bullet left, not enough for all of them but enough to kill me. They don't want me dead. I look to see all of them freeze in shock before one of the guards takes a step forward. I can't see their face, I can't see anyone's face but I feel like I need to know who this is. Before I can react they raise their gun and shoot. Pain explodes in my leg and I fall, all that running, for nothing. All I see now is black, I can't hear everything but I still feel conscious.
The Final Prophecy
Percy Jackson thought he was finally free. After years of fighting monsters, battling Titans, and toppling primordial beings, he had earned a break-or at least as much of a break as a demigod could get. But peace was never meant to last. A new prophecy has emerged, one unlike anything before. There is no warning, no precedent, and no clear path forward. Even the gods are silent about it, or don't know anything about it. The last prophecy nearly destroyed the world. This one probably will. To stop it, Percy must travel to lands beyond the reach of Greek and Roman history, where ancient powers long thought forgotten stir once more. Beings older and stronger than the Olympians are waking, and their motives are anything but clear. Some seek destruction. Others seek vengeance. And some... are there to help. Percy will have to unravel history's greatest mysteries, face enemies no one in living memory has faced, and confront the terrifying truth: This time, they might not be enough. --------------------------- I'm pretty disappointed with the new movies that came out on Hindu mythology (good concepts but terrible implementation) so I wrote my own version. Decided to make it a fanfic of Percy Jacksonfor the heck of it. LMK what you guys think. My first fanfic, one that combines both Hindu and Greek cultures. I will try to be as lore-accurate as possible, but I am open to suggestions. Please lmk. Percy isn't some all powerful being or something in this. He has the same powers as his half-blood self. After all, its mortals that end up doing great things, mainly because of our brief lifespans. All rights belong to Rick Riordan.

Reading is Fundamental
This was officially the most uncomfortable day of Percy's life. ----- "Percy, I don't know what happened to you when you were young, but denying that it ever happened isn't the answer." It'd worked pretty well for him so far. "Who said anything about denying it?" he asked. The look Apollo gave him felt almost parental. He pointed in the direction of the throne room. "How many of them know about any of this?" he asked. The demigod shifted uncomfortably. "None." "Exactly." "Really?" Will asked. "Not even Annabeth?" Percy shrugged. "Look, those bruises don't come from nowhere," Apollo said. "Whatever happened to you had to have been serious." "It was. It was messed up," Will interrupted, laughing darkly. Percy shot him a glare. They were supposed to be playing this down, not making it worse. ------ "What," Percy scoffed, "and I'm just supposed to trust you?" ++You don't have a choice. A magic talking book with all your secrets written out like a YA novel appears and starts ordering you around, and you're not going to listen to it?++ To that, he didn't have an answer. ++Kid, I am your god++ Percy deadpanned. "You're a book," he corrected. Annabeth gave him a look. "Don't patronize them," she whispered. ------ I took the reading the books trope and gave it a little fine wine with its dinner. Time to grow up, kid. Streching of canon. Warning: Crass language used, discussion of child abuse physical & sexual, mentions of drug use, mentions of underage drug use. Specific warnings at the beginning of each chapter Cover art is not mine. Neither is the Percy Jackson series.

Together we prevail
"The other side Nico! We will see you there. Understand?" Nico's eyes widened. "But-" "Lead them there!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!" „I-, I will." Nico watched in horror how Percy promised Annabeth to always stay together, to never be apart again. Then, Percy let go and he and Annabeth fell down. All around, he could hear the others shouting and running to help. All too late, Percy and Annabeth were gone. Suddenly, Nico heard another sound. A strange crackling was increasingly more and more prominent, until it drowned the voices of the remaining five. Before he realized what was happening, the ground beneath his torso was crumbling away, larger and larger pieces were disappearing in the hungry darkness below. Nico did not have time to react. The next thing he knew, he was falling too. OR Three demigods fall into Tartarus after finding the statue of Athena Parthenos. For better or worse, it is not the first time for Nico. This fic will contain themes and mentions that may be triggering, please read the warnings and tags I used and proceed at you own discretion.
