I laid a firm hand on Annabeth's back. I released the last bit of strength I had and pushed her through. A gasp rang out through Nico, Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel. Annabeth screamed when she realized what happened. She threw herself at the doors but an invisible shield pushed her back.
"Percy! No please, there has to be a way to save you. Percy!" Annabeth screamed. Tears were rolling out of her eyes at a rapid pace. "Percy please. Don't do this." Her voice was barely a whisper. Her eyes looked like broken glass. Her ankle was twitching in pain. "Don't leave me."
"I'm sorry Annabeth. Remember I love you. There will never be anyone else I will love. Try and find someone else, don't get hung up on me. You can do better." With that I pulled my head out of Tartarus and kissed her one last time. I pulled back and looked at the remaining demigods.
"Good luck guys." I placed my hands the doors and started to pull them shut. The demigods were crying a lot. "I'll miss you. Kick Gaia's butt for me." With that I pulled the doors shut. I collapsed on the floor. The monsters and titans that had been pursuing us looked at me cheerfully.
"Now time for your end, Perseus." Kronos said.
I sighed, knowing what would happen. I thought about Annabeth, my friends, and my mom. I would miss them all so much. But once I die, I will most likely go to Elysium. One day I might see them, unless they choose immortality.
I looked down at my body. I had deep cuts and broses. My body was numb all over. A thick pain was coursing threw my vains, like they were clogged with poison. The monsters and titans started to inch closer to me.
The pressure of Tartarus was still heavy on my shoulders. I could tell I wouldn't be able to lift a finger. I closed my eyes excepting my death. While the monsters surged forward and I sent a quick prayer to the gods.
I'm sorry I couldn't help more in this upcoming war. Good luck. Your past savior Percy.
I heard shouts of protest and gasps in my head.
I'm sorry
The first sword came in contact with my body. It tore through my liver. Blood explode from my body. I felt my life slip away from my body. I could hear the crying pleas from Annabeth. The cooing trying to sooth her.
My soul left my body. I floated through the doors of death. Piper was hugging Annabeth. Everyone was crying. Tears flowed down their faces like rushing streams. Nico stood there with his face paler than ever. He knew I had died. I looked at Thanatos; he to had tears threatening to spill. He looked over at me.
Your death was the most unfair of them all. Look at what you lost.
I light filled my eyes. I was standing in a house with my arm around Annabeth. We looked around twenty. All my friends were there. Grover, Juniper, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Reyna, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Chiron, and Travis and Conner Stoll. I blew out the candles and everyone cheered.
Another scene floated through my mind. I was pacing back and forth in a hospital. My eyebrows were scrunched together. A lady in a nurse uniform came out. She was smiling. She then nodded and a smile grew on my face. I ran into the room. Annabeth was there with sweat pouring down her face. In her arms was a baby girl. She had a blonde patch of hair on her head. Her eyes were a sparkling sea green with grey accents. The baby giggled when she saw me.
One last seen appeared in my head. I was old and sitting on a couch with Annabeth. Our hair was all grey, and wrinkles creased our face. I was holding her hand. We were watching a grown up version of our baby girl laughing at her granddaughter chasing after a toddler. Three people were standing next to her. Two obviously her siblings, and one her husband. She was a grandmother, and we were great-grandparents. Annabeth and I were smiling. I saw both our body go a little slack. Our eyes fluttered closed. I could have died the same time as Annabeth, holding hands with her, watching our great-grandchild run around the house.
Thanatos pulled the image away from my mind.
I'm sorry
I continued to float through the underworld. I visited Elysium. There I saw Silena and Beckendorf. He was feeding her a chocolate covered strawberry. She was snuggled up against him. They face me and looked shocked. Silena and Beckendorf's eyes started to water. Silena burst into tears and buried her head into Beckendorf's shoulder.
I continued to float through Elysium. I came upon Zoë and Bianca. They saw me and their eyes widened. They ran over and engulfed me into a huge, well Zoë only for a second.
"Annabeth?" Bianca asked tears pouring down her face. I shook my head sadly. She started to cry harder.
I came upon Luke who was resting under a tree that looked very similar to Thalia's pine. He saw me. I ended up explaining everything about how I died.
Finally I drifted back the Doors of Death. Annabeth was curled up into a ball. Her foot was in a splint. Frank and Jason were hugging their girlfriends. Leo was standing next to Nico. Nico leaned into his ear and whispered something. Leo's eyes watered. he pulled a hand up to his mouth. Fresh tears were flowing down his face. Nico held a finger up to his lips. He was crying as much as he did when Bianca died.
I floated through the doors of death, and saw my body. There was a gaping hole in my stomach and part of my arm was cut off. Other than that I only had horrid scratches.
I knelt down next to my lifeless body. I saw a bright light flash behind me.
"Hello child," a low baritone voice said. I spun around and was filled with a hope that is unimaginable.
