The Army of Chaos

THIS is the End

Hey everybody. This is the chapter before the last. :)

This is dedicated to the loyal snowflakefrozenseal

Percy's PoV

I lay in my bed. Wow. I thought. We've already been here for five months. I cant think about leaving everybody here.

But I will.

Camp Half-Blood was my home. Was.

I have a home now somewhere else. I have a family, an Army, a father, a loving girlfriend. I need them just like I used to need the half-bloods.

Now I need to go back. Make a family with Zoe, we're already engaged. I just need to let go.

If you hold a knife close to you, it'll only hurt more.

~The next day~

I rolled out of the bed. Not my bed.

Today was the day we're going home. I slipped into my clothes. I didn't put on my armor, or my cloak. Just a huge blue sweater with the name of Chaos' Swim Team and black basketball shorts. I put on my old Reeboks and slipped out the door. I heard Zoe yell from downstairs, "Brush your teeth Omega!"

I turned around and chuckled before brushing my teeth with blue toothpaste. Then I ran downstairs to the Chaos kitchen. Luke was sitting in front of the tv watching a basketball game. Selina and Bianca were flipping pancakes. Zoe was sitting at the breakfast table, chatting with Beckendorf who was fiddling with some tools. I walked in and everyone looked up. They smiled and said a quick good morning before going back to doing what they were doing before.

I kissed Zoe's head and then plonked down next to Luke. He tore his gaze away from the tv before smiling at me. I said, "You ready to go home?"

He shrugged, "I guess. We're not really needed here anymore."

"Yeah," I laughed, "We should get out of there hair."

Silena yelled from the kitchen, "The pancakes are ready."

Luke got a childish look in his eye before stepping on my foot and running to the breakfast table where Beckendorf was now showing Zoe his invention. I ran after him and tackled him from behind. He landed with an 'oof' and I laughed. The he started getting up with me still on his back. He was about to body slam me against the kitchen counter when Bianca stormed up to us and grabbed us by the ear.

"You two will sit at the table. If you don't I will put you in a high-chair."

Long story short, we ended up in high-chairs.

I shifted uncomfortably in the red high-chair. "Couldn't you have given me a blue chair?"

Bianca shrugged, "It was Zoe's idea."

I groaned, "Why am I dating that woman?"

Zoe chuckled and slapped my arm playfully. I laughed and said, "Anyway, we have to say our goodbyes, we're leaving in like... two hours maybe."

The army nodded and Luke tilted over in his high-chair to me, "You have-"

He didn't finish because his chair tipped over and hit mine like dominoes. We both screamed and landed with a BAM! The army roared with laughter and I stood up with a pout. Luke got to his feet and we sassily walked out of the room.

When we were standing outside, Luke suddenly yelled, "We forgot the pancakes!"

I gasped and ran into the room and grabbed the pancakes clatter. Zoe yelled at me to give it back but I just laughed and ran outside. I heard a chair shift from behind me and I looked back. Zoe was charging at me with a mischievous look in those silver eyes that were more striking and beautiful than Annabeth's.

I screamed and ran towards the ocean and jumped in. The cold water wrapped around me like a cocoon and I struggled to get out. Then I calmed down as I realized I cant drown. I was the son of Poseidon. Was.

Zoe jumped in after me and I willed me and her to become dry as well as the pancakes. She tackled me and I quickly made an air bubble so she could breath. I grabbed her and hugged her to calm her down so she wouldn't kill me for fun.

She laughed and grabbed a pancake from the stack and took a bite out of it. I picked up one too and we talked and ate, in the water. Under the sea.

It was so peaceful, it could have been a date. Until Luke swam in to out air bubble, demanding a pancake.

We didn't have to talk. We just looked around.

I think that was the best goodbye.

~Time Skip~

Chaos mind messaged me that he was picking us up now. I quickly grabbed my bags from downstairs and ran out the door where the rest of the army was waiting. Chaos smiled at me before opening the swirling black portal.

We looked back. The campers were looking at us, Annabeth was too. I made a peace sign before stepping into my way home.

Thank you all.

The epilouge, the next chapter, is the last chapter. Then there will be a book dedication to all the people who were with me through this journey.
