Percy's POV

As I walked over Half-Blood Hill, I couldn't help but breathe in the sea breeze and the smell of ripe strawberries. I was so happy to be home. Athena had sent me away to compete a quest for her to prove I am worthy of Annabeth. It had taken me 6 months but I had finally completed it. And now I was going to propose to her. Hephaestus had made the ring for me and it was amazing. As I walked around I noticed that the camp had changed slightly since I was last here. After the Second Giant War, the Romans were given the choice to move over to Camp Half-Blood, and the Greeks were given the opportunity to live in New Rome. I had wanted to move to New Rome with Annabeth but she wanted to stay at Camp Half-Blood, and I respected her decision. As I walked past the Bellona cabin a familiar face emerged.

"Hey Reyna," I said to the past praetor of New Rome. She had given the position to Piper when Jason and her moved to Camp Jupiter.

"Percy your back!" She exclaimed hugging me.

"Have you seen Annabeth," I asked her. When I asked her that her face went from one of happiness to one of worry.

Reyna's POV (Bet you weren't expecting that)

"Hey Reyna," I heard as I walked out of my cabin. I looked to where the greeting had come from and saw the mischievous face that I had come to love.
"Percy your back!" I practically yelled as I pulled him in for a hug. He smelled like the sea breeze, and I love the sea breeze. But if he was back then that means he is looking for…her

"Have you seen Annabeth," He asked. Oh no, he was looking for her. Should I tell him? Or should I let him find out on his own. I really want to tell him but I don't know what he will do.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmm" I said, still thinking of what to say

"I'll take that as a no. I'll go see if she is in her cabin," He said. Oh no, I don't want him to be heartbroken. Which he will be because I saw… him walk into the Athena cabin a while ago. He started to walk away.

"Wait, Percy," I said. He turned and looked at me with his beautiful sea green eyes. I couldn't bring myself to tell him. "It's good to see you back,"

"It's good to see you too Reyna. I'll have to catch up with you later. Ok?" He said with a tone of happiness. I knew that his happiness wouldn't last long.

And with that he walked over to the Athena cabin.

Percy's POV

I reached the Athena cabin and heard two people talking. I recognised one of the voices as Annabeth. I was about to walk in when I heard the other voice say

"Why don't you break up with him?" The voice asked. I could tell it was a boy and it did sound familiar. I heard Annabeth reply, "I don't know. But I will definitely break up with him as soon as he comes back from his quest. I don't love him anymore. I love you Marty," As soon as she said that my heart stopped.
