Chapter 1
I have a great life everyone would die for. It wasn't perfect but I am happy. I have a dad that loves me indirectly, a mom and a step dad that always supports me, a bunch of friends that are loyal to me, a teacher that would never fail me down, some Olympians, yes, Olympians on my good side. Absolutely unperfectly perfect. If "unperfectly" is a word, which isn't until today.
My story begins now:
"Hey Seaweed brain, why are you dozing off again, what do you prefer a giant statue of Hermes or Apollo?" Annabeth asked me, oh yes, I almost forgot, I also have the not-so-best yet very lovable girlfriend in the world – Annabeth Chase.
I said something very smart like –"Uh, Pan," I said, then I recalled, Apollo or Hermes only! Oh Annabeth will scold me until I felt a giant bear hug.
"Percy you're a genius! Pan! Why haven't I thought of him, I must use this pillar in remembrance of him, I love you!" she said and quickly erased the statues and hurriedly created another one, one that looks like a satyr. After she finished, as if on cue, the door opened and came in was Grover Underwood, my best friend.
"Perce, Anna, Chiron needs you at the Big House," he said to which I replied, "Well, that's fine G-man, I'd just wait Wise Girl to be finished and we'd get there in no-time."
"Kay!" he said as he left, mumbling something about 'Juniper' and 'A Perfect Present'.
"Okay Seaweed Brain, I'm done, so shall we?" Annabeth said after a couple of minutes, I nodded and got up. We exited her cabin and went to the Big House hand-by-hand. Everyone knows that we are a thing and we don't think there won't be any reason for us to hide it so it was a normal scene.
Once we arrived at the porch, I saw Mr. D or Dionysus god of Wine playing pinochle with a satyr, and a pair of invisible people. We passed by, not minding him but simply bowed and went inside, knowing nothing about the reason we were called. When we entered the real inside of the house, I found three figures, a blond haired girl and a black-haired guy.
The girl looked about two years younger while the guy seemed our age.
"Percy, glad you arrived, these are two new campers who somehow miraculously survived monster attacks and was genius enough to go abroad at China to live peacefully but was tracked there and somehow ended here, go and tour them, by the way, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon and Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena meet Alexandra Milarose and Jerric Johnson," he said, I smiled as well as Annabeth.
Sadly, the girl simply smirked and shook my hand which I brought out while the guy smiled, not at me but more like at Annabeth.
=Time Skip: One Month=
From then on, my life became miserable. Why you ask. Simple, I lost everything I have. It all started when the off springs of Typhon and Echidna: the Hydra, the Sphinx, the Nemean Lion, and the Chimera, somehow joined forces by some unknown reason and was clearly creating havoc along others drakons and dragons. Three campers were assigned and the one to lead was Jerric. Well, let me say something before that happened, during Capture the Flag, I confirmed my suspicions. Yes, Jerric is the son of my father and my half brother while Alex (as she wants to be called as) is a daughter of Zeus.
Back to present, Alex is kind, too kind to be exact while Jerric is a gentle man, but on Annabeth and he was too gentleman as well. Okay, so yes, Jerric was assigned to go and as usual, he chose Alex, and what made me worried is that he chose Annabeth.
That is when I heard the prophecy by Rachel:
Three should go to west and meet the seven
One may die at the hand of the tribe's men
The quest may fail at the verge of tears
Where one may stock for a thousand years
In the city of popularity where the dead resides
Shall you see and may defeat the one who tries
The result may change the life and create small debris
But what is worse is that the savior may die by the hand of his
And my worry doubled. This quest isn't sure to succeed, Annabeth may die at the hand of a certain monster or tribe, and then they may fail through…tears? The quest is dangerous…period and I won't let Annabeth to join. I talked to her, consulted her, pleaded but to no avail, she left and I was stuck to wait until I remember that I can help and keep an eye on her!
I have a ton of drachma which I got over the years and I can, well, travel through waters like Shadow Travel courtesy by dad.
And so I followed or more like watched them from time to time as to not raise any suspicion. Everything as what the prophecy said came true but they all got out from it. But what bothered me is that Annabeth became too open and too close with Jerric than I can afford. I was jealous but well, who wouldn't be? And what is more is that she was softened when Jerric cried on me for he is scared and admitted things and was comforted by Annabeth.
Then they became closer until they reached the battle field where they met the Daughter of Apate, goddess of deceit and he did cheated them but well, as I said, I water travelled and then defeated them when they didn't saw and I left without them knowing after I killed the Chimera, the Hydra, and the Sphinx leaving one for them.
After they returned to camp, well, things gets worse as Hades broke loose for me. One day, I saw the two talking happily and almost kissing near the lake and so I did what is best or what seemed logical for me.
Flashback:
I was walking towards the lake when I heard laughing. Usually, I would brush it but when I noticed it was Annabeth's, I followed the sound.
Shortly afterwards, the laughers stopped and I saw them, their faces almost near to each other that I was so enraged that I exited from my hiding place and went towards them.
"Annabeth let's go," I said, grabbing her hand, I didn't mean to grasp her hand harshly but I did since I guess you could say that I lost control since the person that is linking me towards the human world almost kissed another person.
"Percy, let go, it, it hurts," she said. I looked at her and saw fear in her eyes that I softened. I whispered, "I will, if we leave."
She nodded but then, the jerk Jerric stood up and said, "What gives, doesn't mean you two are best friends and couples that you can take her wherever you go you Prissy! Afraid to lose her, well, I think I deserve her better than a guy with no balls and hurting the person she loves."
"Oh no you didn't just said that," I said as I felt something snapped and my vision blurred with red and the next thing I knew, I was being stopped by Clarisse and a few other Ares campers with a few Apollo and Demeter campers stopping Connor, Travis, and Alex from me with Jerric having almost unconscious and Annabeth...treating Jerric.
Chiron said that I would be punished since favoritism isn't allowed so I got last in showers, dishwasher in breakfast, lunch and dinner, suspended from all classes and the one to gather arrows and different stuffs and I get to take a bath last.
Everyone hated me, I felt it. They hated me for hurting their hero. But that isn't the one which hurt, it was Grover and Annabeth, they were treating him like they used to treat me. They avoided me, everyone did and I was isolated.
They torture me, somehow but they did. During Capture the Flag, I was maimed by Jerric, Alex and their friends, my face was shoved through dirt and stuffs like that, and even with the Styx' Curse or Blessing, I still felt hurt, emotionally and physically because
1) No one even bother to punish them, even Chiron so where does "no favoritism" go? And 2) No one even asked if I was okay and they think that I am since I have the curse and that is what Chiron said.
And when they saw Jerric's wound, wow, whatever happened is unexplainable. And as if the pain and torture wasn't enough, the Apollo kids 'accidentally' get their arrows at odd places which is hard to get to. Then Aphrodite kids said that I peeked on them or the Pegasus, even Blackjack, won't even talk to me!
It was painful, several more things happened, I lost my towel when I was getting bath and my T-shirt, I lost my Minotaur's horn, and more.
Then one morning, something triggered something in me and I just have to leave camp. When I was about to, as a good-bye message to everyone and say sorry. Well, they said that I am scared, running to mommy and daddy for help and cry because I can't take it at all.
Then I snapped again to them as usual and once again punched the guy and his friends earning me more glares from the girls and actually, it was only Nyssa (a new friend from Hephaestus Cabin) and Clarisse with a few Ares Campers who kind of hate their guts (a shocker), oh, and Rachel who had the guts to gave me a good good-bye and Annabeth, well, I guess we broke up and I was crushed but I am strong until now.
Now that – "Percy you idiot! Why did you-you! What's wrong with you! Why, why are you acting like a child! It was just a tease, as if you haven't been teased so why attack?" Annabeth said.
"Why Annabeth, answer me, why wouldn't I snap? If you are in the same shoes as I am, you would have the urge, you should thank me that I haven't killed him and the others, it is a good thing I still have control in me after you broke up with me for him because I hit him in the face for provoking me, when no one in the damn camp cared, well, almost no one cared when I was shoved into the dirt, was cut in my feet, was severely injured, when Alex, the goody girl, went to Atlantis and replaced me and was forgetting by my own father because I wasn't good enough, when they played pranks on me, and they even...don't you know that my dad and mom had died just recently," I said as I turned my back, I felt pitying eyes but I don't need them now.
"I, I have to go," I said more to Rachel, Nyssa and the Ares' off springs as I ran away.
When I was on my personal car gift of my dad Paul, and accelerated it at full speed as to how the Grey Sisters use it. I was about to slow down when I saw a truck and I remembered the Prophecy:
"Shall you see and may defeat the one who tries" – So I saw the one who sees and defeated him, the child of Apate and defeated her.
The result may change the life and create small debris – So the results isn't what I did that they won, it was the short torture, like walking on real debris. But what is worse is that the savior may die by the hand of his – I will kill myself out of misery.
I tried to press the break but my feet won't move and I heard snapping, turned my gazes towards the Fates and saw a thread just snapped. And so I know now, I closed my eyes, leaned my head towards the steering wheel and laughed. Wow, my life would end badly and sad. I have been stupid, the Fate's are bitches, how dare them, and Aphrodite is a bitch as well. Add Jerric, Alex, Poseidon my dad to that, oh, and Annabeth, Grover, Chiron, Silena, the Stolls, Katie, Beckendorf and all of them as well on being bastards.
I laughed as I fell and hear a crashing, I felt pain, as the metals squished me slowly after the car crashed at the side of the road and flame started going on. Wow, this hurts more than River Styx, oh well; at least it wasn't torture anymore. I smiled and died with a smile on my face. The pain is over.
And I had a Not-so Good Good-bye.
