《Omega, The Commander of Chaos (Nicercy/ Percico)》Death and Runaways

Percy POV
The week I spent at mom's house was nice and homey. It was really nice to spend some time with them. When I have school I live with them but now that Andy it's here it's even more fun. She was born a few weeks before I had to go to camp and I think that was the first time I didn't really want to go to Camp.
But then I came back. And everything went downhill.
I was exiting my Cabin when I heard someone scream. I ran to the training grounds. There, in a pool of his own blood, laid Will Solace. Dead. I couldn't breath properly ar I ran to him. I started screaming for help. I fell on my knees and cradle his body to my chest.
"Help! Someone! Please! HELP!!! HELP!! PLEASE HELP ME!!" I continued screaming until I couldn't. The campers were gathered around us.
From the crowd emerged Jake. His eyes went wide when he saw us. He slowly walked up to us. And motioned for Will. I looked at him and gave Will to him. He was staring at Will's still body. I couldn't belive it. That boy was amazing. He actually managed to make Nico interactive, he helped me in difficult situations, he was supportive and never said anything bad about anyone. And now he was de-
"Murderer" was the first thing I heard in that horrible silence. No more than a whisper, heard by dozens of people. Yet it was that moment I lost almost everything. "You killed him."
All of them. All of were chanting those words. "Killer. Monster. Murderer. Mistake. Dangerous. Unworthy. Whore. " I backed away from them. My head was spinning and I couldn't see clear. I couldn't handle it so I ran.

I ran just like the first time. To Rachel. The word Murderer kept repeating in my heat. I ran as fast as I could and when I reached her cave I collapsed. The dust sticking to the blood on my shirt. I was trembling.
"Percy? Percy, what happened?" She asked worriedly as she sat on her knees in front of me shakily touching my shoulder.
"Will. Is dead."I whispered, her breath hitched, her grip tightened. "They think it was me."
"That's not true. It can't be true." She said. Her voice didn't crack, she didn't flinch, she was sure I was innocent. I stared at her She believes in me. She trusts me. That's what I was thinking.
"That's not what they say." I whispered. She looked at me sadly.
"Wait a second, well more but I'll be back." She told me as she left the cave.
Twenty minutes later she ran back in panting. I walked over to her from my spot on the bed and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Start packing. We're leaving. " She ordered me. I stared at her in shock.
" Wh- what? Why?" I stammered.
"If these idiots can't understand that you would never do something like this than we're leaving." She said harshly as she started searching for a backpack.
"But what about Annabeth? "She stopped dead in her tracks. She turned to me, her eyes avoiding me.
"Percy. .. i'm sorry, but..." I couldn't speak. She looked at me straight in the eyes. "She was leading them. Her exact words were. .. *Find that monster!*"
I felt like the sky fell on my shoulders, and believe me I know how that feels. I collapsed on ground, again. Annabeth thinks I'm a monster. She hates me. I do better dead than this.

Rachel took a hold of my shoulders. "Percy! I understand you feel like it all ended. But you can't die now. You still have your mom, Paul, me!! Andy, Percy! Andy! Think about her!"
I took a deep breath and stood up. I'm not going to let Andy grow up without a big brother. I picked the discarded backpack and started stuffing things into it. Rachel smiled and started bringing necessities.
After a few minutes I helped her put the backpack on and stretched. "Now we gotta sneak to my Cabin and grab my stuff."
"No need to. " said a voice from the entrance of the cave. I turned so fast I almost had a whiplash. Leo and Jake stood there, had they're own backpack. Jake threw another one at me.
"You. .. You don't hate me?" I asked.
"No man! Why would I? You're an amazing friend. " said Leo. I turned my head to Jake.
" You wouldn't hurt Will. You wouldn't hurt any of your friends. After all we all know your fatal flaw it's Personal Loialty. " he said in a soft tone. I ran to them and hugged both of them.
I shouldered my backpack and started walking. My friends around me.
"I think we should use the pegasi. I want to visit Camp Jupiter. " I said. No one protested.
We sneaked to the stables and I got Blackjack. We were lucky no one was there. Maybe they already checked. Hey boss. Do you have donuts?
No but we need you to take us to Camp Jupiter as fast as possible. And silently please.
Of course boss. I can take you to Reyna. She's a nice human. I chuckled. Yes Reyna is indeed a nice person.
"We should take only three. Leo and I could ride on the same pegasus. " suggested Jake. I nodded.
We got on the pegasi and took off as silently as possible. After a few minutes I made everyone stop. We landed in a clearing next to a lake. I made a rainbow threw a drachma in it and asked for mum. When she answered I explained the situation. She seemed outraged at the fact that the campers thought that I actually killed Will. When I told her about his death, Jake mentioned that I have blood on my shirt.
"Mum, be careful. They may come to you for answers."
"Don't worry" She said cheekily. Well she is very good with fire arms.
" Okay, bye I love you mum..."
"Love you too..."
I waved my hand and the image diappeared. I got on Blackjack and took off the others in tow. A long journey was awaiting us.

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?
