The Lost Guardian

I speak dead bear

"Percy,You need to harness your repressed rage", Jack grinned,

"I DONT HAVE ANY!"

"Spoken like a person with repressed rage", Jack grinned an leaped off the cabin roof, "does she e'en know what she's looking for?", Jack peaked in the cabin door to look at annabeth.

She tossed clothes into a bag along with other items, "no, and neither do I, cupid is being selfish", percy huffed and crossed his arms, taking a seat at the second to last step to the cabin.

"Well, it's not like cupid is allowed to show other Guardian's", Jack stood next to my feet, percy looked up at him, "what?".

Jack scratched the back if his head, "oh yeah, you never got to read the book, well, at the Guardian 'initiation', we have to read a giant book", percy stared in confusion at Jack continued.

"Not everyone can see you, the only way for a older person to see you is to either experience your first death, or, eh-", Jack grimaced, "-or if find out how to enjoy what you were brought back for".

"Brought back for?", percy stretched out a wing, "I'm supposed to enjoy saving orphans , well, occasionally saving them? Even though there are already demigods doing that?", Jack nodded.

"Then how will cupid bring me back", Jack shrugged and stepped back as annabeth walked out and bounded down the stairs, she sprinted across the camp as a horn blew.

"We're following her, right?",
"oh yeah".

Annabeth felt her feet hit wet grass as the came into a large clearing, a small cabin in the center, she bounded up the steps and banged on the door.

A loud bang and screeching was heard, the door swung open to show a Cyclops, hair pulled up into a man bun, "Annie!", she prepared as he scooped her up in a giant hug, "Tyson", she said fondly as he released her.

He wore a tinkled Orange shirt and swim trunks, behind him, ella sat at a table flipping though a book, a rip was heard.

"Annabeth?", Tyson stepped aside as annabeth moved forward, "Rachel, I need a Oracle", Rachel cringed , "I'm still learning".

Around Rachel were A dozen dead bears, cotton all around her knees from her place on a rug.

"Please, it's important", Rachel sighed and grabbed more bears.

Jack crept around the giant one eyes dude, with percy, "why is she killing those poor Toy's?", percy shrugged and stood behind a couch.

"Well?", annabeth was starring down, an event look on her face, "it's weird, but I can kinda make it out", Rachel grabbed a notebook off the floor and pencil.

She wrote down something and handed it to annabeth, "share with the class?", Jack said to no one.

"A tube of truth wisdom will unveil,
To show the past of a haunting tale,
The dead will pierce a selfish wing,
A brother of shame will steal a beginning,
A group of helpers will fight the truth,
While rage grows for the one that stole his youth."

"Jack, what are you doing tomorrow", percy asked him with a grin, "Whatever dumb thing your about to ask me to do", Jack sighed.

"Cook, I need you to go get annabeth tube thing from tooth",  Jack arched an eyebrow, "why can't you get it?", percy looked over to annabeth .

"Oh, oh no", percy raised his hands in surrender, "I- I can't just leave her, plus, I don't think she's...
I don't think she's ever done a quest without me".

Percy looked heart broke For a moment, "ugh, fine, anything for my annoying little brother", percy grinned and hugged Jack, before taking off after annabeth.

Jack watched his brother fly after the girl later that night, set on protecting her.

Her stared at the moon, "Manny? I- I need help", her stared at the moon, "I just got Percy back, I just remembered him how I lost him - and- and I can't lose him again", Jack gripped his staff.

"I need you to tell me- how can I keep him from losing himself? From forgetting about me again?, back then, he always wanted to be normal, hang out with others, I just- I need him here, with me".

There was only silence, the moon suddenly grew brighter, Jack squinted and heard an intake of breath behind him"

"I always kinda liked that nickname,

Manny"
