Percy's POV

I was running. They were coming at me nonstop. There was no chance for me to sleep or eat. It's been like this for months. I'm starving and tired. My name… is Percy Jackson. It wasn't always like this though. Believe it or not, I was popular and loved, but none of that matters if the Fates aren't on your side.

Flashback:

I was coming back to Camp Half-Blood. It's been a long month. I was on a quest with Thalia and Nico, to do the twelve labors of Hercules. I now had Athena's blessing to marry Annabeth, the love of my life. I walked through the borders and waved hello to Peleus. I was happy and no one could bring me down. Athena had given me a ring, courtesy of Hephaestus, to propose with. It was a 24 karat ring in the shape of an owl. It was grey with sea green eyes like mine, engraved on the side was 'I'll love you forever Wise Girl. –Seaweed Brain.' It was beautiful. I told Thalia and Nico and they helped me get ready. I was going to propose today. I walked over to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, Malcolm opened the door.

"Percy?" he asked.

"Yeah, Malcolm, it's me. Do you know where Annabeth is? I have a surprise for her."

"Umm… Look down by the beach, but dinner's about to start. Where were you? We've been worried about you." He said.

"Can I come in? It might take a while." I said.

"Sure."

I walked in and closed the door behind me. After I explained everything to him and my plans, he was shocked.

"Percy, you did all that for Annabeth?"

"Yeah, man, I love her."

I pulled out the ring and showed him. He gazed at it for a long time before I closed the box.

"Now that you know what happened to me, what happened while I was gone?"

"Not much. You have a half-brother named Jacob. He got escorted to camp by Lord Poseidon. He killed 1 hellhound, while everyone else killed the rest. Since then, his ego just keeps getting bigger."

"Great, I get a Hercules as a brother."

We laughed and talked until dinner. As I walked towards the Pavilion, I noticed that all the campers even my friends, minus Clarisse, Thalia, Grover and Nico, were avoiding me and acting like I didn't exist.

But, I had my mind set on one thing, Annabeth. I walked in and saw the gods here. I wondered why and went to go look. I wish I hadn't. Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite and Hestia weren't there.

I heard my dad yelled "I present to you Prince of the sea and my only and favorite son…"

I blushed at the recognition but walked towards the front.

"Jacob Lectus!"

My heart broke into millions of pieces. But what happened next broke it even more. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" I looked and saw Annabeth, my Annabeth, kissing Jacob. Tears streamed down my face as I ran as fast as I could to my cabin.

When I closed the door, I doubled over and let the pain out. I realized that I lost my curse of Achilles since Annabeth was my anchor an since she betrayed me, it was gone. I now know what Athena meant when she said my flaw would kill me. It wasn't that I would give up the world and my life for my friends, but that when they betrayed me, the pain would be so much that it would eventually consume me. I made a decision and grabbed my bag and packed my stuff. I put ambrosia, nectar, food, clothes and pictures. I left a note for Thalia and Nico in case they got worried. I went to go get Blackjack and we left to go to my mom's house. When I got there, I opened the door to see a Minotaur and my mom and Paul dead on the floor. I killed him out of rage and took the money I had in my room and left. I put them in burial shrouds and burned down the apartment. I found my out at the bottom of a bottle. After my money and food ran out, monsters attacked nonstop. And this is where I am now.

I slashed and ducked over and over until I got tired. I had nothing to live for anymore why not just let them kill me? I no longer cared. I was a homeless teenager who had been abandoned, forgotten and betrayed. As I gave up the fight, a vortex appeared and the monsters died. All I heard was "Are you okay?" before I blacked out.
