Annabeth POV

As Apollo died, the Titans charged. The brother of Gaea, Porphyrion, charged, and brought down his knife to Aphrodite. She screamed, and fell.

Aphrodite had always been like a second mother. She was always so nice to me, and now she too, was fallen.

"APHRODITE!!!" I cried, running over. Hephaestus got there first, and he took her hand.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Hephaestus...I never..." Then she closed her eyes.

Hephaestus and Ares both started weeping. Hephaestus held Aphrodite in his arms, and Ares held her hand.

Polybotes ran forward, and took that opportunity to shoot. Ares. Oh, shit. Now our main fighter was gone.

"SON!" Zeus cried, and rushed at him. Ares muttered, "At least I'll be with Aphrodite." The he died.

Suddenly, I registered what had happened.

Demeter, Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo and Hades were gone. Dead. Suddenly, an excruciating numbness came over me. When it washed away, it was replaced with deep, raw, incredible pain. Athena was already gone. I was a bit glad she didn't have to get killed in violence. But still.

Hot, hot tears were running down my cheeks.

Suddenly, Orion came forwards. "Artemis..." he growled. "Be mine. I'll ask for you to be spared."

"NEVER!!" She shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks, as she looked at the dead corpse of Apollo.

Then, she charged straight at him, flashing her hunting knives.

Orion did something I never thought. First, he whipped out a sniper rifle, and shot Artemis in the head. Headshot. No..."Artemis..." I cried.

"Don't...don't let me down. Sh-shoot...k-kill the, for me..." then she closed her eyes.

They were dead. My best friends.

Anyway, I wasn't shocked that Orion had killed Artemis. I was shocked at what he did next.

He dropped that sniper rifle, took out a pistol, and pointed it at his head.

"Artemis...I'm so so sorry." Then he shot. He fell dead, right at Artemis' feet. Suicidal, much? But I wouldn't have done better.

I looked at the bodies. Then, I saw Nico, out of the corner of my eye, drop to the ground, on his knees. His eyes were red and tear stained. His cheeks were red and puffy. He still held Percy in a headlock, with a gun pointed to him.

But he didn't seem to have the strength to shoot. He just wept at the body of his father.

"DESTROY THEM!!!" Gaea roared, looking at her remains giants. Thankfully they were mostly dead. But Porphyrion alone was a lot to handle.

He roared, at came at Zeus. Zeus yelled in outrage, and unsheathed his knife.

Porphyrion shot. BANG.
