Chapter 6: Will and his tears

HeroesOfOlympus
Hey everyone. I'm sorry I took so long to update a story. Recently, someone close to me passed away. So I'm sorry if you find this chapter lousy or sad. For all those out there who someone close to you has passed away, I know how you feel. So, this chapter is for all who know how the pain is. This is chapter 6, enjoy.


Chapter 6

Will's P.O.V
Today was the day. It was a day where I had to fake a smile, be cheerful all the time and enjoy life. I knew she would want that. But deep down inside, I blamed myself.

I blamed myself for her death, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be happy or alive.

She sacrificed herself.

For me, this useless dump.

She could have lived. It was all my fault.

Biting my lip, tears started to form in my eyes blurring my vision. Nico looked at me from the side, concerned.

Placing his hand on mine, he softly whispered, "Hey, what is wrong sunshine?" I sniffled and grabbed his hand tightly, turning his knuckles white.

I expected him to yowl in pain and ask me what my problem was.

But he didn't.

That's how good he was at being a boyfriend. I closed my eyes shut and steadied my breathing. "You'll find out soon..." I muttered softly so only he could hear.

He nodded his head and placed his head on my shoulder while drawing circles on my hand. "We shall now have our next contestant! Anyone wants to volunteer?" Dad boomed.

All the hands in the Apollo cabin went up as fast as the speed of lightning but my hand shakily rose in the air. Dad looked at me with sadness and pity in his eyes.

I didn't want his pity.

Pity wouldn't bring her back.

"Will, my son, come on up..." Dad sighed while gripping the table of the DJ booth hard. I shakily stood up and approached the stage, one foot at the time.

"What would you like to perform?" Dad asked me kindly.

"Singing and playing the guitar," I whispered softly in the microphone and immediately all heads turned to me. It was rare to find an Apollo kid down.

Especially me as most of the time I was the most happiest and optimistic kid in the Apollo cabin. A familiar wooden guitar appeared in my hands. It was the same design and everything.

Was this guitar hers?

I timidly looked up at Dad and he said kindly in my mind, "Happy early birthday kid. That was her guitar. She told me to tell you to never give up and it wasn't your fault," A small smile appeared on my face.

Even in death, she still cared about me, not herself. At least she landed in Elysium, she deserved it. She was the best person I ever met.

"I am going to sing 'If I die young' by The Band Perry for... my... my mother," I managed to choke out before strumming the guitar.

"If I die young, bury me in satin. Lay me down on a bed of roses," my clear voice rang out with mixed emotions heard.

Sadness for her dying.

Anger for the monsters.

And guilt for her sacrificing her life to get me safely into Camp Half-Blood.

The screen behind me showed a flashback of her, my beautiful mother.

My selfless mother.

-FLASHBACK-

Will's P.O.V
We were running, hand clasped together. Fearing for our lives, we ducked into the cave as the monsters ran past us.

My heavy breathing echoed in the cave. Tears dripped down my face as I flung myself onto my mother and tears stained her bright yellow shirt.

"Shh... It's okay my sun. Everything will be fine," my mother's soothing voice filled my ears and I immediately calmed down.

My mother made a cosy fireplace as we wrapped ourselves in an old blanket, cuddling next to each other. "Sun, do you know what day it is?" My mother gently stroked my head.

I thought hard, we had left California once the monster entered our house. That was 1 month ago, so if I did my math correctly...

"It's my birthday?" I asked. She nodded her head while her pearly white teeth shone. It didn't feel like a special day. We were being chased down by monsters and we were starving and scared.

"Happy Birthday Sun! Mama has some good news. We will reach the safe place for you by tomorrow morning and we'll be safe!" My mother sang. I grinned wide

No more monsters chasing us down as long as we were in that safe place? That was probably the best thing I heard. My mother took out her guitar from her bag and started strumming it while singing gently the song 'Titanium by David Guetta and Sia'.

As she finished the song, her warm voice and smile suddenly made me feel we were home again, safe from the monsters.

"I love you sun," my mother brushed her nose against mine. Before I could answer back, the monster appeared in front of us. Our eyes widened as we got up as quick as lightning and grabbing my mum's guitar, we dashed out of the cave.

Sprinting across the forest, we heard heavy steps behind us. My bright blonde hair flew through the air as we ran. Finally, we saw light coming behind a large pine tree.

"Quickly sun, it's right there! The safe place is where the light is!" My mother shouted as she pushed me through the barrier.

"Mum? Why aren't you coming in the safe place?" I shouted as my mum had tears in her eyes. She sobbed and wiped her tears away with her sleeve.

"Mum? Mum! Get in! The monster is right behind you!" I frantically cried out

"I can't go in Will. I'm not a demigod, I'm a normal mortal!" My mother shakily replied. I cried for help before turning back to her. I stepped out of the border as the monster appeared. "If you can't get in, I'm not going in," I confidently replied and stood next to her.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, her face visibly pale and blood pouring from her left arm. Since when did her left arm start bleeding?

"Will, promise me you will not give up on life." My mum firmly replied.

"But mum-" I shook uncontrollably as the monster neared us.

"Promise me!" My mother shouted while tears streamed down her face. Before I could reply, the monster charged towards us and she pushed me into the safe place.

"NO MUM!" I cried out as hot tears welled up in my eyes and blurred my eyesight

"I love you Will. You have always been my sun," my mother choked out before turning her head towards the monster and slowly closing her eyes.

"MUM! NO MUM!" I shouted with all my might. People finally ran from my side, towards my mother, aiding her to kill the monster

As the monster vaporised into gold dust, I shakily approached the body lying on the ground. Facing the face of the body, time seemed to slow down. The face was bleeding all over the place but behind it, you could see a beautiful face that held warm blue eyes that brightened up a certain kid's day.

"Mum... No... MUM!" I shouted out as I dropped on my knees. Cradling my mum's head in my hands, I wailed out a sound of anguish, anger and sadness.

Blinking back my tears, I chanted again and again, "Please come back. Please come back. Please come back." Suddenly I couldn't take it anymore, I let out all the sadness in me.

Rain started to pour heavily from the sky, as if the gods were angry too.

"I love you too mum," I managed to choke out before blacking out.

-FLASHBACK END-

Nico's P.O.V
As campers and gods stared at the screen from Will's memory. Some campers were bawling their eyes out while other tougher campers lips were trembling.

Aphrodite cried loudly as her make up ran down her face. She dabbed her eyes and buried her head in Hephaestus' shoulders. Ares looked at everyone and sniffled a bit.

And me

I was a wreck. I cried out for my boyfriend. I cried out for his pain, his suffering, his sadness, his guilt, his anger. I knew all those feelings when I watched my own mother die

Shadow travelling next to Will, I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly. Kissing his nose, I looked up into his blue eyes and whispered,

"It wasn't your fault Sunshine. It never was," He nodded his head and we walked hand in hand back to our seats.

He numbly sat down as I curled up in my seat and placed my head on his shoulder. After a while, he placed his on top of mine.

I squeezed his hand stroked his hair with my free hand. He placed his hand on my thigh as he cried softly in my hair.

"Let's have a break, shall we Apollo?" Poseidon asked with concern in his voice. Apollo nodded his head numbly and turned on all the lights in the throne room

"1 hour break everyone and we will continue," Apollo choked out before dropping his microphone and running over to Will and me.

He embraced us in a hug and cried with his son. Three of us hugged each other, heads touching and tears dripping down our cheeks.

That's a wrap for Chapter 6 guys. Hope you all enjoyed it and all comments are appreciated. I won't be updating this story for about 3 to 4 days so comment below on how to improve this story. For all those out there whom someone important to you died, stay strong. We can all get through this together
Peace out and god(s) bless,

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. I love the concept and your writing is really good as well! I love diving deeper into Percy's character and revealing more of his past. You're doing an amazing job! I'd say a sequel to this would be cool but it depends on how this ends. Thanks so much and can't wait to see what's next!
