I promise I'm not dead. I lack motivation for mostly everything and have not been busy. Right now I'm procrastinating on homework so I decided why not give an update for a story I wrote around two years ago. Oops. I so glad for all the people who took time to read this story. I'm making it into a short story but hopefully I'm able to update my other stories... Hopefully. Anyways back to the long awaited update

Chapter 3

As I ran I felt as if I were alive again but not like being born. No, like being free. I spread my arms out wide and pretended I was a bird soaring through the sky. The little legs that held my tiny body danced across the grass as we approached the campsite.

I felt as if I was truly home. The plants flowed freely through the wind and I couldn't help but smile. Slowed down once we reached some sort of civilization. I clasped my hands together behind my back and carefully walked towards the middle of the groups of people closely followed by Nico.

I nudged Nico but he didn't seem to get the idea. So I pulled on his arm until he lowered his head towards mine. Right now there wasn't anyone paying attention to the death boy and a little girl next to him. There was nothing unusual about younger kids being in this camp so I decided to make myself known.

"Neeks, you have to introduce me to everybody again." I whispered in his ear.

"No, I don't have to and I'm going to." I opened my mouth in shock and confusion as I watched him walk away laughing. This cruel person, how could he have been so nice and sweet. What kind of life did he live? I'd have to talk with Percy about what he did.

Oh Percy. I truly hope he still doesn't blame himself for my sacrifice. Someone like him would feel guilt over something one did willingly.

Considering that Nico had left me for what I assume is a tall blond kid he's making out with I'd better find Percy myself then interrupt my brother's moment.

I walked and walked until I reached what I guessed was his cabin. Finding out no one was inside and chose to wait on the door steps and slave away. My eyes felt heavy around the second hour of waiting and I let them desire sleep. I figured I should get some rest.

….

"Hey Percy there's a kid waiting outside your cabin." A voice of a girl resonated through my thoughts as I groggily started to wake up.

"I'm not sure who she is. I don't think I did anything wrong." That voice I recognize. Boy I hope it is who I think it is.

I leapt up from where I slept and made my way over to the two. I crept closer and closer to their faces. "Annabeth." I said as I looked at the girl. "Percy." I smiled at the two of them.

"Who are you?" Annabeth questioned as she looked into my eyes.

"It's me. Remember my name is-" I couldn't finish my sentence as I was consumed by darkness.
