Author's Note: Sorry about deleting the last story, I will be re-writing it after I finish this fanfiction. This probably won't be really long. So, sorry again. Either way, I hope you ENJOY!

Percy's POV

Pain. That was all I felt at the moment. I couldn't hear anything except for my own screams of agonizing pain. Let me back up for a minute. We were fighting the war with Gaea. It was vicious. There were hundreds of monsters, and Gaea had just awoken. The gods still haven't arrived, and us demigods are beginning to lose hope. Our forces keep getting pushed back by the enemy. I am at the head of the group along with Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Nico, and Reyna. A giant advances on me. I stumble slightly. This gives him enough of a chance to run me through with his ten foot long spear. I fall to the ground. The world looks fuzzy. I manage enough focus to gather my surroundings once again. I see Annabeth out of the corner of my eye tears spilling down her cheeks. I can see her resisting the urge to come and gather me in her arms. The giants are winning. Oh, gods. Gaea watched amused as we fought. I knew I was dying.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the gods. Poseidon's eyes land on me, and his face turns pale. I look away. Right now, even the monsters are overwhelming the gods. I muster up as much courage as possible. I grab Riptide and chuck it at the ground near a giant's feet. He gives out a laugh. I muster up as much energy as possible. Zeus sees what I am doing. The gods and demigods, minus myself, gather behind a shield of power. The monsters think that I won't be able to fight them. And they are right. I gather up my energy and bring my hands up toward the sky. Blue-green light floods the area and the monsters turn to dust on the spot. Gaea is clearly losing strength. I however, have no strength left. My soul is leaving ,y body faster than I thought possible. Gaea eventually sinks into a deep sleep.

Everybody rushes toward me. They are all crying. Annabeth kneels next to my head.

"Percy, please stay. Don't leave me!" Annabeth sobbed into my bloodied hair.

"Annabeth. Stop crying," I said wiping away a tear. "I love you Annabeth. Gods I love you so much. But, I know I'm not going to make it, and I need you to move on." Annabeth looked flabbergasted. "Follow your dream. Build something permanent. Find someone who will love you as much as I do. I want to see you happy, even though I will be gone. Please Annabeth. I love you. Now, give me one last kiss." I smiled. Annabeth leaned down and kissed me passionately. I knew it would be the last time I ever felt her soft lips against mine. "Tell my mom please," I whispered to Annabeth. She nodded and sobbed into my chest. I pulled her close. I looked at my family one last time before taking my final breath.

Annabeth's POV

No. NO, NO, NO! Why does this stuff always happen to me? Why? My Seaweed Brain. He died in my arms. Why! The fight was going just fine until Percy faltered and was run through the chest with a giant's spear. I had to resist the urge to run to him. We were losing terribly. Finally, the gods appeared. I saw Percy mustering up a whole lot of strength and ran to my mother's embrace. He released an incredible amount of power. The monsters disintegrated on the spot. Gaea went back to sleep and the war was won. Hurray, hurrah. *Note the sarcasm*. I chose this moment to rush to Percy's side. He was almost as pale as Nico. His hair was matted with blood along with every other part of his body.

"Apollo!" I shrieked. Percy was slipping into death.

Apollo shook his head sadly. "Annabeth, Percy is mortally wounded. Even I could not heal that. I believe Percy is aware of this." He nodded toward Percy who put on a brave smile. I began to sob. Everyone else in my surroundings did as well. Percy began to speak to me. I listened, yet the words didn't completely make their way into my brain.

"Just one last kiss?" Percy asked. I nodded and slammed my lips to his. Oh, gods. Percy's lips with chapped so bad that they peeled on contact. I didn't mind though. I savored the moment. Percy's soft salty lips that I would never feel again. We broke apart and Percy told me he loved me and would be waiting for me in the Underworld, before he disappeared. I wailed out loud not caring who heard. But I knew that I was no different from everybody else in the group. I glanced at Nico who was standing near Hades. Their eyes were tearing.

"He's gone," Nico said and Hades nodded. I looked at my mother. Surprisingly, she was crying as well. Finally, I looked at Poseidon. He was crying almost as bad as me. I knew he would be. Not only was Poseidon Percy's father, but Percy was Poseidon's favorite son. I put my head against Percy's chest. Eventually, we headed to our cabins for the night. There was much grieving. Percy's shroud was burned at dinner. It was a sea green with a blue trident that had seaweed swirled around the base. I didn't realize that it was my turn to speak until Malcolm nudged me. I gave a lame speech, but I hadn't thought about it. I made a promise to myself to burn blue chocolate cookies for Percy at every meal.

After dinner, I headed to the beach. I sat until the curfew bell rang. I knew that coming to the beach would arouse memories of Percy, but this is where I felt closest to him. When I headed to my cabin, I was given sympathetic looks. I didn't acknowledge them though. I got into bed, not bothering to take off my shoes. I cried into my pillow, until I finally fell asleep. Oh, Percy! Why?
