Hello everyone.

This is one my first stories here so please do not be harsh. English is not my first language so any grammar tips or anything will be useful.

This is a Pertemis story. I know Percabeth is cute and everything…but I fancy them more. The story continues from Blood of Olympus from the last battle scene. Anyway, I hope you like. I do not own anything.

*Anyone who reads the story for the first time, please ignore this. All the others please pay attention. I found a beta, Johanna Night, whom i thank for this excellent work. The next chapters will follow till the new one. Please enjoy and review! *

*Small changes*

*Dedicated to all my readers, old and new!
And to all who may go through difficult times in any way! We all have been though and we managed to survive! So keep strong!*

Percy

After the ship went down and we couldn't hold the giants, we were forced into a defensive ring. Annabeth was right next to me and I turned to see the eyes I had always loved. The whole world around me lost its color and froze. The only thing that really mattered to me was right in front of me. This was our last battle. For good. I just wanted to live with the woman I loved, to marry her and raise our children away from the brutality of being a demigod, inside the safety of Camp Jupiter, if there was one when this was over.

But now I knew that I should focus on my task ahead, and my ADHD kicked in as I saw Porphyrion getting ready to attack when the skies opened, Olympians were marching to our help, in their godly height, fully armored in their chariots. Zeus was first with Nike at his right, who flew out of the Argo II; My father with a beautiful sea green chariot. The details so many that if I tried to recollect them all it would probably melt my brain. They radiated power and I could only stare at them, trying to absorb all of them. Then I caught a movement with my corner and I knew instantly what was going to happen. I was ready to sacrifice everything. For the love of my life and my friends.

As I leaped I turned to see her one more time before I felt the pain and heard her screaming my name. I was lying in the ground, feeling my life drain out of me. And the pain started dulling and the world losing its color.

Annabeth

All the happiness I had left in my life vaporized the moment I saw Percy leap in front of me as an enormous spear crackling with lightning hit him right in the chest.

It was my fault. If I hadn't been gazing the 12 Olympian gods as they were emerging from the sky, I would have probably seen the attack. I should have been prepared. I was supposed to be the one that predicted every movement from the enemy. Instead, I had lost the only man I truly loved.

I was screaming his name without noticing as he dropped in the ground, motionless. Blood pooled around the wound, streaming over his armor. I watched as his eyes lost their glow and something inside me cracked.

And then it happened. The earth shook. The Blood of Olympus have been spilt. Gaea was awaken.

Then it all turned red. I charged at the giants, blind to my own safety-something I never expected, much less they. My friends run beside me with tears in their eyes. Jason yelled 'for Percy' as he lunged for the closest Earthborn, rolling under its first strike and impaling with ease .

For the next 20 minutes all I did was fight the giants that had cost me my other half. After I took down Enceladus with the help of my mother, I turned my attention on the battlefield. Jason, with his father, was dealing with Porphyrion, Piper and Aphrodite were fighting Peroibia while Poseidon was strangling with Polybotes. That's where I ran to help.

While the giant was focused on the Sea God I tried attacking from behind, only to find that the Giant had already seen me. As he attacked with his trident I tried to duck backwards but he expected it and grabbed me with his arm. I tried to impale the giant in his wrist to make him drop me or at least loosen his grip but it was pointless. But I managed to turn his attention to me. And that was all Poseidon needed to stab the giant in the chest with his trident.

I aimed and threw my dagger into his chest to end his days. But before my dagger find its target and the giant to crumble into nothingness, he threw me with such force to the ground that I wasn't even able to scream as the air from my lungs was snatched away.

After that it was all black, and waited to appear in front of Charon. And I did.

"So…now?" I asked. And then I understood something was off. All things were frozen. I looked around and I think I almost saw Percy and all things went black again.

I suddenly was back to the battlefield, with all my friends and family around me, looking at me with concern. The pain lurched in dizzying waves; I couldn't think right. I had to be dead. So why wasn't I?

Then it hit me. The phisician's cure. So, how and why did give it to me? Percy was the one who had to take it.

"Annabeth", said Hazel, "lie down; we don't know what the side effects are yet".

As soon I heard her I rolled over her and pinned her to the floor. If I was here it meant Percy wasn't.

"WHY? TELL ME WHY? WHY DID YOU GIVE IT TO ME .WHY?" I screamed as the loss and the pain caught up with me. "He was everything to me, my life." I gasped as I started sobbing while Athena came and held me tight. I clung to my mother's shoulder, squeezing my eyes shut until I saw stars.

The last thing I remember before passing out from exhaustion was Poseidon and my friends carrying away Percy's motionless body.

The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying in a bed. At first all was dull. It took a second for all the pain to catch up with me. And it hit hard. A sob left my throat.

Piper and Hazel were with me in my room. Their eyes red and puffy from crying. They were in the end of the bed, whispering and turned to me as they heard me.

"How do you feel?" I heard a voice and turned to see Apollo. He was now in his usual casual clothing but he was in a really bad mood.

"Physically or mentally?" I asked. My eyes burned. He nodded. I am sorry he whispered and flashed out.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks again, against my will. I would never see his green eyes again or taste his lips. I would never see the lopsided smile I loved. The girls came and hugged me, whispering words of encouragement in my ear. After a while I started to concentrate on their words. "Please, just tell me why?" I asked Hazel in a small voice.

"He asked us," she told me. Her eyes were red from crying. "He told us that if anything happened and it was him or anyone of us-especially you-that we shouldn't use it on him."

"'It is not your fault. Always the idiot hero that put everyone before himself" I said starting to cry again as the memories swept over me.

The three of us-me, Percy, Grover, playing Hacky Sack in the back of the truck, the dance at Nico's school, him walking in on his own funeral, the last battle, his look before declining Godhood, our first kiss, the moment I saw him in New Rome, the moment he told me about living in there and the final moments of his life. When I finally closed my eyes, my dreams were of the underworld and Percy and the life we could never have together.

Anyway, this is it. Maybe a little short for the first chapter but I hope good. I want to ask for your reviews so that you help me improve ! Thanks in advance !
