Percy P.O.V.

Special look at what's happening to Percy during all this drama!

What.

The.

Heck.

I had no frickin idea how that had all happened. It all felt like a blurry time skip. I tried to talk to Annabeth, but something inside my head, deep, deep inside the back of my brain, felt like it had been switched off.

Or, switched on.

Then everything felt like a giant blur of time skips and blurry people and unbearable pain and then I was single.

Wait, what?

I had dumped Annabeth? When did that happen? What?!

I heard Annabeth call my name. She caught up to me just as I was leaving the main doors to Goode High School. I wanted to reach over to her, and tell her I didn't know why any of this was happening, I wanted to try to fix everything.

But… I couldn't.

It was if I was trapped inside my own body, and I couldn't say or do anything. I tried to scream, "Annabeth!" Nothing happened. I tried reaching out to her. My hand didn't respond. Nothing was happening!

Suddenly, I felt the world getting blurry again. The world spun, around and around and around, and then everything was black.

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't feel my heartbeat. I couldn't feel my body. I couldn't feel my brain.

Then came pain. Searing, unbearable pain in my head, or, I guess, empty space. It felt like being suffocated, while knives and needles and daggers shot through non-existent brain. I didn't know how anything like this was possible. How could I feel without a body? Where was my body?! Did I just die? Is this what death feels like?

And just as quickly as it had started, it was over.

The spinning had stopped. Everything looked normal. I felt my heartbeat. What had just happened? The pain and blurriness felt like it had went on for days, months, years even, but once I was back I realized it felt like only a millisecond.

"What the heck?!" Annabeth's voice erupted through my head.

I wanted to ask what she meant by that.

But before I could even try, I felt my legs start to walk away. What?! How?

I had lost control of my own body.
