Chapter 1 - The Heartbreak
Annabeth's POV:
Dream Sequence:
"No, you can't don't do this. I love him. I can't do this to him."
"Get off your knees, Annabeth. You're begging for the wrong person. The sea spawn never deserved you." My mother sneered. I looked shockingly at her. How could she do this to me?
"You will do as I say, daughter of Athena. Or else, you'll lose both of them. Break your relations with your Percy and you can save both of their lives. Otherwise, the first person I'll kill will be your un-born child and then you're dearest Percy Jackson. You have today to make your choice." The loud boom voice of Zeus echoed around the empty throne room before a bright light engulfed my vision.
... (Scene shift)...
"I love you, Jacob. You're so much better than Percy." I faked as I knew Percy was standing right behind me. "You were right. I should have left him ages ago."
"Annabeth?" I ignored the hurt in his voice just as I leaned in for a second kiss with the son of Zeus before turning around to face the very person I loved the most.
"What? You knew you had it coming. It shouldn't even be any surprise to you." I scoffed at him, trying to keep my face emotion free. I couldn't afford to have a breakdown now. I had to keep this going.
"Why?" That small whisper of his nearly made my knees wobble. I was tearing up from inside. I could easily imagine what he must be going through.
"Simple, I don't love you." I said slowly as my own voice betrayed me. "I never really did. I mean you're not my type. One, you're a sea spawn. Two, you're not as smart and powerful as Jacob here. Three, your charms are really starting to annoy me and four, I don't need a whiny baby as my boyfriend. The only reason I stuck with you is because you had everyone's attention, Percy. You had fame which like me and every girl in the world wants to have. You get to do the good work and risk your life for others, who might I point out never really cared about you, while I had the opportunity to gloat around that I have the best and hottest guy as my boyfriend. But... When Jacob came along, everything changed. Remember when I said you're not my type, well guess what, Jacob's my type. He's powerful, smart, truthful, caring and a whole lot better person than you could ever be. And did I mention he just looovvess Owls." I said with my best sarcastic voice. I could literally feel my breadth coming heavy as I turned back towards Jacob. It was much easier to not see his face as I gave him the biggest betrayal of his life.
"But after what I did for you. After what we went through. Did they mean anything to you?" I heard his cracked voice again. I closed my eyes in pain as I remembered all the things we've been through. All the memories we have shared.
"No, Percy they didn't." I said with a cracked voice still facing Jacob. I knew he heard the wavering and hesitant in my voice. It didn't take long before I was harshly grabbed and was forced to face him.
"Look at me and answer! Look me in the eyes and tell me... Did any of those things mean anything to you. At some point, did you ever fell for me? Did you really loved me, Annabeth?" He demanded as he looked at me, still holding onto my arms so I couldn't escape his grip. I tried. I tried to hold myself from crying. I really did. But my eyes were already pooling with tears by the time he had already grabbed me and was searching my eyes for an answer.
"HEY! Let her Go! She hates you." I saw Jacob screaming as he tried to get me free but Percy just used his water powers to push him back. I felt my tears stain my cheeks just as I saw Jacob crash through the trees before Percy used the water molecules in Jacob's blood to cause him pain.
"Percy, Stop it! You're going to kill him!" I screamed in panic as I saw Jacob screaming in pain, boils appearing on his skin. This is bad. I never expected him to react this way. "Percy!" I said again as I looked in his sea-green eyes that were dark. Darker than his other moods. I could already see a storm waging in them.
"Answer my question." He demanded.
"NO!" I finally screamed. "I never felt anything for you, Percy! I never did!" I screamed. My outburst definitely caused him to loosen his grip on him. Also, he stopped using his powers on Jacob. "GOSH! You're such a cry baby! How many times do I have to tell you that I don't love you? I love Jacob!" I screamed out again, letting myself tear up. I didn't care if my tears were flowing uncontrollably. He's going to think it's for Jacob. "I hate you Percy Jackson. Can't you get this in your head?" I screamed out before falling to my knees. My breadth coming out rigged and heavy. I did it. I finally broke his heart. I'm so sorry Percy.
"I guess I didn't need this anymore." I heard him say coldly before he dropped a small ring box beside my crouched position. "It's useless anyway." He said again as he walked away. I slowly opened the box to find a small diamond ring with 'Wise girl & seaweed brain' carved on the edges of the ring. I gasped as I released what he had come here for. That's when I felt myself blackout again.
... (Scene Shift)...
"I, Lord Zeus, the King of all gods hereby banish Percy Jackson to the depths of Tartarus for his horrible crimes of joining forces with Gaea and nearly killing my son."
"NO!" I screamed in anger. "No, you promised. You promised you would keep him alive! How could you do this to me? NO!" I screamed again with all the energy I was left with.
"Athena, what is your child talking about? What promise?" Zeus asked with fake confusion as everyone in the throne looked at me in question. I felt my inside boil with anger at his acting.
"You bastard! You promised me!" I screamed out again as I tried to run towards him with a knife (that I knew won't be enough to kill him) but still did before being blocked by my mother who had reduced down to a human size and was holding me back with her godly strength.
"LET ME GO!"
"ANNABETH! Stay in your limits!" My mother screamed as I tried to struggle against her. My heart pumping with anger, my insides exploding at Zeus's decision. His betrayal. My betrayal. All the heartbreak for nothing. The king of gods didn't even keep his words. I should have known. Zeus was power greedy. He wanted Percy dead from the moment he realised that Percy was getting too powerful.
"No! You let this happen. I'm your daughter, mother. How could you destroy my life like this? My own mother! How could you do this to me?" I screamed rounding my attention at her.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I have no idea what you're talking about?" I looked at her shockingly as she continued her fake concern.
"You BITCH!" I screamed again in anger but was met with a sharp pain on my cheek.
"You will stay in your limits, girl. The Sea spawn is a traitor. Admit it. You're lucky that we're letting you have that traitor's child. So, learn to appreciate what you get." My mother sneered as she tightened her grip on me. "Father, might I suggest, we should send Annabeth back to camp. She needs her rest. Percy's betrayal must be hard on her. Besides the little monster inside her also need its rest."
"Your right, Athena. You can take her away." I struggled against her grip as she tried to stop me from lashing out but luckily at that moment, Hermes flashed in with a worried look on his face.
"Where is he, Hermes?" Zeus boomed. The god of messenger looked at me before opening his mouth.
"He's gone."
"Gone? What do you mean?" I saw Artemis ask as I stopped struggling against my mother. One word. Gone. I know what it meant. Was he dead?
"He's not at camp half-blood. His belongings are still there... but he's nowhere to be found."
"Then find Him!" That was the moment I black out again.
... (Scene Shift)...
"I'm coming back, daughter of Athena. Are you ready to pay for what you did?" I heard a dark male voice say before an evil laugh echoed through my head. I held my ears in pain as I tried to figure out where I was. The laugh... It wasn't a normal laugh. It's like someone was ringing loud bells in my head. Bells with very very loud noise. I could feel my ear drums numbing. It only lasted for few seconds before they stopped. I was met with complete and utter silence.
Then it came. Like a small breeze. I felt it behind me. I knew that someone was behind me as I could feel their heartbeat. It was beating really fast. Plus, the raw energy that I could feel around me. It was dark. Nothing that I've ever felt before.
"Who are you?" I whispered, not knowing who it was since everything around me was dark. It was silent for few seconds before I finally heard his voice again.
"You're worst nightmare." He said just before I felt myself being grabbed, the same way that Percy had grabbed me in my second memory. But this wasn't a memory. This felt real. But before I could even process those questions in, I felt a sharp, burning pain enter my system.
It didn't take long for me to scream out in pain just as everything around me blurred into white.
Dream Sequence end.
"ANNABETH! WAKE UP!"
I quickly gasped as I opened my eyes to see my siblings looming over my head. The pain... It was so real. I could still feel it running through my veins.
"Annabeth? Are you okay?" I heard Thalia's voice as I tried to get my bearings right. "Oye, all of you. Move away from her! She needs to breathe." I quickly covered my ears as I felt the same evil laugh echo throughout my head. Like before it was only there for few seconds before it subsided. But this time I heard a small whisper. I'm coming back⦠These were the same words I heard in my dream.
Regaining my senses, I quickly pulled myself up in a sitting position just as I felt a small migraine coming. I could easily feel my breadth coming heavy. The dreams... no the memories I just experienced was something that has been happening to me for a long time. But the last one with that dark voice sent shivers down my back. That last one wasn't a memory. It felt so real. Like I was actually there. Something was familiar about that voice even though it felt like the devil himself was speaking to me.
"What happened, girl?" Thalia asked as I tried to control my breathing. "You were screaming and crying." I looked at the worry on her face before noticing Malcolm behind her, also starring at me with those same worried looks.
"It was nothing. I just had a nightmare." I said without looking in their eyes before quickly getting off my bed. The light outside my window notified me that I overslept.
"But Annie, this time, you looked like you were in pain. I even saw your skin turning red. Look." Malcolm exclaimed as he pointed towards my arms. In response, I quickly looked at them to find my skin all bruised-up red. But what shocked me more was the hand print that was on my right wrist. Whatever pain I felt in the dream was real. The man who touched me was real. It really was a nightmare. Just then the Stoll brothers came running into our cabin.
"Hey Guys, Lord Zeus has ordered all of us at the food pavilion immediately." They said unison.
"Why?" Thalia asked.
"Because we're meeting some new people. Now, Come on!"
