Why Me?(Third book of Call me Omega)

Chapter 32

Kk.

I have 193 followers. Very close to 200.

When I get 200, I will be super happy.

So I will....

What should I do?

Victor's POV

I clenched the letter tightly in my fist.

Why was it him?

I sighed and placed it on the table. This was the worst times. Percy wasn't getting any better. In fact, he had caught a bad cold and I forced him not to use any of his powers.

Chaos couldn't give us some time.

"Victor?"

I saw Percy walk in, his hands in his pockets.
"Why did you ask me to come?"
I wordlessly handed him the letter. He glanced at me and at the letter, smoothing it out with his hands. He read it, and read it again, again and again.
He looked back up at me.
"So... I have to go?"
"Yes."
He looked back down at the paper.
"Maybe I can ask Chaos to give us some time-"
"No." he sighed, setting down the letter. "One month is enough. I have to go anyway. The other soldiers have to too. We're only supposed to have about a year off."
".... Will you be okay?"
"I have to be, don't I?"
I closed my eyes and opened them again.
"When should we leave?"

Apparently, every soldier got the letter.
Luke, Ethan, and Zoe decided to stay longer- because of Tartarus. But everyone else was going. Percy didn't say anything, he just kept his scarf over his mouth and had put his mask on, preventing anyone from trying to talk to him.

Reyna kissed me on the cheek, and I kissed her back on the lips shortly.
"Remember to IM everyday."
"Of course."
"Tell me everything."
"Alright." I pecked her on the cheek and she smiled warmly at me.
"Portal?" Percy asked.
I gave her once last kiss before crashing the small glass pendent on the ground. It swirled and hissed as it killed some of the grass on the ground. I glanced at Reyna's smile one last time and stepped through the portal.

But unfortunatly, the last thing I saw was Annabeth's face.

It didn't make me very happy.

I knew that Percy had seen her.

She looked utterly heartbroken, her eyes glistened with tears.

I wished Luke hadn't had put a comforting arm around her.

"Percy?"

He looked up at Bianca. "Yes?"
"Should we call you Omega?"
He paused for a few seconds. "I guess that would be better."
Beckendorf walked next to me, holding
Silena's hand. "Do you think you'll be okay dealing with them?"
Percy sighed, knowing who exactly 'them' were. "I hope Dillan kept everything under control."
"Don't worry, Kayla would of helped too." Silena chirped.
"I guess so."

When we arrived at the big building, all of the soldiers and I went to their dorms while Percy went to Chaos's office.
I unpacked my bag and looked around the empty room. I liked it, having my dorm all to myself. But sometimes, the silence didn't always feel so good.
"Victor?"
Lee poked his head into my room.
"Commander said he would be in the training room till dinner."
I scowled, but I knew it was right. He needed to train too.
"Fine. Tell him if I don't see him at the mess hall, he's dead."
He slipped off, and I resumed unpacking.
