Barrier | Percy Jackson (DISCONTINUED)

Prologue

It hurts you know, betrayal.

The pain slowly eating your heart,

I couldn't breath properly, it felt like I was suffocating. My mind can't comprehend what was happening. Then I felt it, the pain. It felt like someone punched me over in over again right in the same place. I automatically held my hand in my chest. Tears building up and threatening to come down. I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't. No words came out. The pain flashed through my body, it feels physical but it's not. And I didn't shake it off, no I just stood there and let it flow through my body. The tears streamed down, but my mind was empty, blank, nothing. Like my whole being.

the words stabbing you,

"I'm breaking up with you"

"............Your fault!"

"Who would ever need you?............"

"I Poseidon, God of the seas, earthquakes and stormbringer, hereby disown Perseus Jackson for his disloyalty"

"Just go!........."

the negative thoughts circling your mind.

Maybe I deserved this. After all I am the reason why Bianca died,I could have died instead. The reason Beckendorf was blown up in the Princess Andromeda, I couldn't even save him. My fault Silena died, if I was fast and smart enough she wouldn't die.

I'm a failure, someone to be ashamed of, not worthy.

I wasn't enough.

Easily replaced.

Have you ever felt that pain?

I did.

When my friends believed an idiot who couldn't even hold a sword, when my father disowned me, when my girlfriend cheated on me.

I left carrying that burden in my heart.

"Bye Camp Half-Blood. You finally had me broken"

Now after so many years, that pain still lingers in my heart, I slowly believed on the words that stabbed me, back and front, and the negative thoughts never left me. And I covered it all up with a smile.

But I had to go back, damn fatal flaw, I need to go back. Not just to save them but to save me too, to bring me back, to bring Percy Jackson back.

Because 10 years ago.

They already killed him.
