3rd person POV:

"PERCY!!!" there was a scream. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Suddenly Percy was on the ground. Opening his eyes, he saw Bianca Di Angelo. His eyes widened, and he realised what she had just done. He ran to her.

"Bianca! Why?" He asked. Her eyes were full of tears.

"I had to. I couldn't have you dying, otherwise, who would save Annabeth? When you go back to Camp, tell Nico that I wanted to do this. It's not your fault, it was mine." She handed me a statue. "It was the only one left he hadn't got yet." She closed her eyes... and never opened them back again. He looked at the statue she gave me, it was Hades.

"Thank you for saving me, Percy." He couldn't focus. Zoë just died. "Where's Bianca?"

"She died. Willingly. How I am going to tell Nico without him hating me?"

"You could just not tell him."

"Oh yeah? If I don't, he's gonna find out the hard way and he'll hate me for lying. If I do, he'll hate me anyway!" Annabeth shrugged.

"Just figure it out like you always do." She walked off. Girls... why are they so hard to understand?

Percy's POV:

I woke up. My eyes were full of tears. I hadn't really intended it to be like this. And to make it worse, I feel like this is all my fault. I staggered to the bathroom and grabbed a razor. Well... at least nobody will miss me if I do this then...
