I am very sorry for the long break guys, but it's worth it. I have some new ideas.

First of all I want to clarify something once and for all. This is not going to be a revenge story. It is the journey of a person who is figuring out himself along with his adventures, struggles and heart breaks.

So no chaos arc or percy super powerful. Well according to me those stories are stupid

I want to make this story such that it should be morally ambiguous. No one is truly good or bad. Everyone has their faults , including Percy. So no bad Annabeth story.

This chapter is about how Percy is going adrift and how his and Annabeth's thought's are during some point of their relationship. I hope this chapter make a case for Annabeth. And you are in for a lot of surprises in the later chapters

Thank you for your feedback, review this chapter I had put so much thought into it.

Flashback

9 months ago

"percy! What the hell are you thinking?" Annabeth shouted at him as he was going back to his cabin without accompanying her to the sing-alongs.

"I need some time to think alone , Annabeth" Percy replied frustrated at her.

"I am not talking about your lonely chit-chats Percy with yourself, I have been watching you . Since last week , you haven't made a single food offering to the gods. What do you think you are doing" Annabeth inquired him.

"Yeah," Percy replied lazily "what's your problem with that? "

"Do you what will happen if other's find out about this? You already looked as queer and a loner. Do you also want to be punished by the gods or Chiron by doing this? " Annabeth too got frustrated by his attitude.

"I don't care! " Percy snapped at her

"But I care about you Percy, If something happens to you because of that" Annabeth replied stolidly.

Percy felt guilty about his outburst, he has to stand by his beliefs, it is time he took a stand at last " I am sorry. But being punished for not praying to gods, it is kind of absurd, don't you think? "

"No " She replied

She is always fully committed and stubborn and too strong to change her view for Percy though, But he decided he will give a try "Well according to me it is" And she is a stickler for rules well he forgot.

Annabeth decided this is it, though. Percy is considered a freak and loser outside the camp, though she didn't agree with it. But recently she was guilty to say it but she was embarrassed of being with Percy when she introduced him to her friends at school. And now, people inside the camp the camp are also freaked out by his behavior and are beginning to avoid him. She doesn't how long she will stay in this relationship though, with her mother's pressure and uncertainty over Percy's future after school.

She finally snapped at him " What the hell is wrong with you. Why aren't you behaving this way? The war is over and everyone is happy. Why can't you just stay and behave the same as you were before the war. You used to be friendly and funny. Now you are too serious and won't talk to anyone. And now this as well . Can't you atleast give a offering to your dad? Don't you love him? "

"Yes, I do love him"

"Good then, don't you think that he will mad that his only isn't giving an offering to him" Annabeth reasoned.

"Maybe he will be mad. But that doesn't mean I have to give offering to gods " Percy answered.

"Are you saying you won't ever give offering to gods? " Annabeth is really going to fear the worst.

Percy replied before she would utter those words he wanted to say all along "Yes, that's right. I don't a damn about them. They are nothing but trouble. Why the hell should I respect them or revere or pray for them? "

"Aren't you happy that you got all these cool powers no one else got. Even at least pray for your father for giving them to you? . " Annabeth is slowly getting a really bad feeling about this.

"I don't need to pray to my father for giving these powers Annabeth. The only reason I am alive and got these powers were because my father lost control and broke his oath. He didn't do it, because he wanted me, he did it because he can't control his lust. So no Annabeth I don't think I need to pray for him or any of the Olympians. Tell them to go to hell the next time you meet them at Olympus from me."

Annabeth was really outraged by this and she is worried as well, he is slowly beginning to act like Luke after his quest " Don't you at least lucky to have those powers, and better than the humans? "

" No, I don't feel like that Annabeth. Now that is what I am seeing in this camp , which I haven't seen in this camp before the war. Most of the people in this think that they are better than the humans and still hang out with the popular crowd at their respective schools who are humans as well."

Annabeth replied immediately " Well we are better than them obviously. We are gifted by the gods themselves. What more proof do you need? Besides they are ignorant and don't a thing about monsters. I thought you already know that. We are the one's who fight the real wars and protect this world from all the dangers. "

"And whose fault is that of keeping all the humans ignorant Annabeth! . It is the gods fault, and for the monsters, if the gods really wanted to do it, they have the power to lock all the monsters in tartarus for a long time. And then keep on doing it if they ever come back. And what do the gods do instead, they act like kindergarteners and moan about their stupid rivalries. "

Annabeth interrupted "Percy, I am afraid. Please stop. You are sounding like.."

"Luke " Percy supplied " I know, who would have thought ha! I guess he is right after all. The Olympians are bunch of assholes and imbeciles who can't even rectify their own mistakes and wants us to deal with them. "

"Percy stop it right now. You are sounding insane. Why can't you just enjoy the gifts the gods gave you? And respect enough" Annabeth spoke

"You are supposed to be smart , not me. You know I am speaking the right thing, but you can't accept it"

"Percy that's it stop it right now or I am going to report it to Chiron. " Annabeth interrupted him for the millionth time.

"I tried reasoning with you Annabeth. What I wanted to say is this. Gods are no better than humans they make the same mistakes as everyone else. Having power doesn't make them better than everyone else in this world . And for their mistakes the world is paying for it including us. And they always escape their punishment, but I assure you someday they are gonna pay for it, just like the Titans are doing right now for their mistakes " Percy replied calmly.

"Then why in the hell did you for us in the Titan war? Why not join Luke? "

"I fought against the Titans but not for the Olympians" Percy answered.

"So doesn't that make them good? They are trying to save the world just like us. "

"No, it doesn't "Percy replied.

"You are speaking irrationally Percy, what is happening to you. "

"I am the same person as always Annabeth , it is the camp and the people in it who are acting like they own the world. I am not like them."

"So you are saying you are better than them. Don't you think that is kind of hypocritical of you Percy. " Annabeth trying to outwit him

"No, you are twisting the meaning of my words Annabeth . I never said that "

"Well you sort of implied it. " Annabeth growled at him.

"I never intended it to sound that way," Percy frustrated by her smartness " look Annabeth ,I am not smart as you or strong and independent as you are. That's the reason I love you so much. " Annabeth smiled at him " What I am trying to say is , yes the Titans are bad, and the gods are bad as well. They are just the better of two evils. And I am never going to respect them or pray for them ever again to those kind of people. And that is my choice. Well according to me everyone is equal, the gods, the humans and us the demigods " With that he left abruptly without waiting for her reply.

Well that is absurd she thought. Annabeth is hoping that Percy will come to his senses, but the signs are not looking right now. She turned around and found Robert waving at her to join him at the amphitheater. She blushed and jogged to join him, and forget that this ever happened.

Three months later

Annabeth hooked up with Robert during their quest and did intimate things with him than she had ever did with Percy.

Thank you for your feedback, review this chapter I had put so much thought into it. I am going to explore more of Annabeth's and Robert's relationship in the later chapeters. And why they were drawn together. Sorry in advance some chapters are going to have Percy being tortured and hurt. But overall he is going to be alright. You are in for a hell of a ride.
