Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I only own the plot lines
A/N: this is a revised version, it may/may not be better but I'm trying. I'll slowly proof read the following chapters while writing so sorry if there's a delay in chapters.
This is my first fanfic and it's a pertemis fanfic. It will not look like one at start because I'm trying to stick as close as possible to the real personalities of the real character. So give it time. I promise it will be begins after The Last Olympians. And review and tell me how I did and how to make it better. THANKS
Chapter 1
Percy
I was walking towards the throne room, with only one purpose in mind - to ask Athena for permission to be with Annabeth - and I wasn't going to take no for an answer. I walked towards the enormously large door. (which I have no idea why would they even need one since they always flash around) When I was about to push open that huge door. I overheard my father yelling. Since I was curious, I decided to eavesdrop a bit.
I heard him shout ''HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM?!''
"Oh come on. It's just a little joke, to spice things up for him." I was sure the voice was Aphrodite because of the natural sultry tone. Another reason is that only Aphrodite can still joke around when other people are shouting.
"THIS IS MY SON WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! HE SAVED OUR ASSES AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM?!" My father bellowed. Wait are they talking about me? Poseidon's son - check. Saviour of Olympus - check. Unable to take anymore, I pushed open the door. It wasn't nice to eavesdrop on people anyway, let alone the Olympians. Except Hestia, they take their pride and ego way too seriously. The moment they saw me, everything calmed down and everybodys gaze was focused on me. Well at least now I don't need to get their attention, Gods know how hard is it to get them to listen.
"Why do I hear you guys arguing about me?" I asked demandingly.
My father had a frowning look on his face, which means it wasn't something nice.
"Well Percy, how should I put this? Your relationship with Annabeth, it might have not occurred if Aphrodite didn't interfere with both of your emotions."
"So am I supposed to thank her? If so, then why do I hear you shouting so loudly? And why does Aphrodite say something about a little joke?" I asked, feeling completely lost.
"Ok, to bluntly put it... The only reason why Annabeth accepted you was because Aphrodite made it so. Annabeth only felt a sisterly affection towards you, but Aphrodite decided to manipulate it into some sort of love." My father said, sending a glare straight at Aphrodite who merely shrugged.
"So… Annabeth didn't really love me?" I said, despite knowing the answer already.
"Yes my son, and I advise you to not further the relationship with her because who knows when Aphrodite decides to stop the magic." My father said looking sympathetically at me.
At that moment, my heart was broken. My mind trying to comprehend what I had just heard. Annabeth didn't love me at all. It was all Aphrodite's doing?
"Percy are you ok?" my father said, breaking my trance.
"Oh... I'm fine." I lied.
"Percy I'm sorry for what had happened." My father said
"Ok then, now that we are done with the family drama." Zeus said " Perseus why did you come to Olympus?"
"I was hoping if I could speak to Lady Athena in private." I said
"Very well, since this meeting is finished, I will leave you with Athena then. Council Meeting Adjourned!" Zeus bellowed before disappearing in a flash. The other gods left shortly, leaving me with Athena alone as she morphed down to human size in front of me.
"Lady Athena." I said and gave her a bow.
"Perseus, I know why you are here today." She said. "I'm sorry for your loss. After what you did for Annabeth. I truly believed you loved her and would have given you my consent if you were to ask in the future."
"It's ok Lady Athena. It wasn't her fault, but I do have one other request. I hope you will have help." I said.
"So long it's reasonable. After what has happened…" Athena stopped herself.
"I hope that you will break the news about this to Annabeth. I don't wish to leave the impression that I played with her feelings."
"That can be done, anything else you wish for me to pass on to her?" Athena asked. It was unlike her, or any gods to be so helpful. Perhaps they still have some heart in them.
"It would be nice if you could teleport me back to Camp Half-Blood." I said casually.
"It's the least I could do. And thank you for being considerate to Annabeth's feelings." She agreed.
I managed a weak smile as she placed her hand on my shoulders. When I opened my eyes, I was in my cabin. I heard the horn sound and realized it was time for dinner. I went towards the dining hall but as I walked, I realised I have too many memories of me and Annabeth together in this place. It hurts me every time I think about those times. I couldn't handle it. I made my sacrifice to Poseidon and the gods (I dumped everything into the pit) before returning to my cabin. I quickly packed my things and wrote a letter to Chiron. Hoping he would understand my situation.
I waited until it was bed time. I did so because the campers wouldn't leave their cabin unless they wish to get eaten by the harpies. I was all ready to leave when I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw Grover.
"Hey Percy, I was wondering why you were so quiet and upset after your visit to Olympus earlier."
"It's nothing really. " I lied.
"Come on bro after spending so long with me. You know I can sense your emotions, and lets face it, you suck at lying."
I managed a weak smile and explained to him what had happened earlier. After explaining, I forced Grover to swear to not reveal this information to anybody. Not wanting to agitate me further, he agreed and told me that he will be by my side all the way. I was glad to know at least someone is true to me. He left shortly after comforting me and I sat down on my bed.
"Why must the fates do this to me?! Haven't I done enough good to deserve at least some happiness?! I only asked to be one I loved. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!" I screamed in my mind as tears flowed down from my eyes. I looked at the time - 12am. I decided it was time to leave and I took my belongings - a few sets of clothes, some nectar and ambrosia and my Minotaur Horn. I went up the hill I stabbed my letter into the tree.
SO HOW IS IT? CONTRUSTIVE FEEDBACKS ARE WELCOMED. I KNOW ITS SHORT AND THEIR ISNT MUCH CONTENT. I COULDN'T ADD IN ARTEMIS POV BECAUSE THEIR ISNT MUCH TO SAY IF NOT IT WILL BE UNREALISTIC. BUT I PROMISE YOU THERE WILL BE ONE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. SO REVIEW IF YOU WANT ANOTHER CHAPTER !
