Percy POV

I was hoping things might work out even though almost everything had changed. Camp was getting bigger and busier, ever since the Roman and Greek camps united after the fall of the titans and giants. I hardly had time to spend time with Annabeth and got the feeling we were slowly drifting apart. She was so busy rebuilding Olympus; she was hardly at camp, and I'd only seen her a couple times this month.

I was called into the Big House after introducing new campers to Camp Half-Blood. Chiron was waiting for me on the deck in wheelchair form. He smiled at me and motioned for me to sit down in a chair across from him.

"Percy, it's good to see you. Camp is as busy as ever. Lord Poseidon has let me know that you have a sibling not far from here. He'd like you to bring him to camp. It'll be kind of like a quest, but much easier and quicker."

Easier? Quicker? None of my ventures outside of Camp Half-Blood had ever been any of those things, but I was kind of excited to have a brother. After all, Tyson was busy in the undersea forges and even in a packed camp, I sometimes felt lonely.

Sure. I had my friends, but things felt oddly empty without Annabeth.

I agreed and Chiron gave me the address of where he was. I shouldered my back pack with emergency ambrosia and nectar and left camp.

Hours later. . . (Still Percy's POV)

It took hours to lug Logan away from his home. I know, I'm not being very sympathetic, but 2 sons of the sea god were bound to attract monsters, and personally, I didn't feel like fighting anything right now.

I was surprised at how old he was. I mean, he was 18 like me! What was he doing during the "big three pact" while children of the big three were in the most danger? Maybe Poseidon had protected him or something, because from what I could figure out behind all his bragging was that he'd never run into anything strange before or fought any monster.

I'd been trying to get to know my half-brother, but he sure wasn't making it easy. He would just start whining and complaining, and of course, I couldn't tell him too much or else his scent that attracted monsters would get stronger. I noticed he had a huge ego when he started bragging about all the girlfriends he'd had, and all the awards he's won. I kept talking just to keep him be quiet.

We were climbing the hill to camp and I figured we would make it without any monsters. Boy, was I wrong. We slowed down and I was showing him Riptide and explaining that he would soon get a weapon that he would use for training and fighting monsters when there was a sudden growl behind us.

I whirled around and saw a huge Hell-hound standing behind us. I was reaching for Riptide, when I realized I'd handed it to Logan.

"Don't kill it. Let me do it. You'll get yourself hurt. " But of course he wouldn't listen. I made a grab for my sword before he did anything stupid (like cutting himself on accident), but he was already moving farther away from me and towards the monster.

"Ya!" Logan shout out and charged the beast. I wanted to do something, but there really wasn't anything to do.

He dodged the monsters claws and slashed the sword sideways onto it. It exploded into yellow dust, leaving Logan covered in golden powder, standing there with my sword by his side and grinning like a maniac.

He was looking past me, and I realized he was grinning at the camp which for some reason had come to wait for him.

They were staring at him like he was a god or something, and I realized they had seen everything. We crossed the border and everyone swarmed around Logan and started praising him and feeding his huge ego.

Chiron pulled me away, and I realized it looked horrible on my part. All they had seen was Logan with my sword kill the Hell-hound and me just staring and watching him.

"Why didn't you kill it yourself? He could've gotten himself hurt!"

I explained everything, but I wasn't sure he believed me. Riptide still hadn't returned to my pocket, and I had a feeling Logan was going to keep it.

Months later . . .

My life has turned into a living nightmare. I swear, ever since Logan set foot in this camp, I have been forgotten and despised. Everyone thought I was selfish and had been trying to kill Logan when we first arrived.

Apparently, my father had blessed him so he wouldn't get hurt during the time before the Great Prophesy. I didn't really care about it, but everyone seemed to think he was something special. I knew he was just selfish and self centered (is there a difference?) and liked to bask in his glory.

He went on a quest a little bit later to kill a drakon. He chose Annabeth and Will, and I admit, I was a bit unsure about his choice. I was afraid Annabeth was going to get hurt, I did see her making googly eyes at Logan but I ignored it and voiced my concern. Annabeth just looked at me like I had suggested she go swim in a swamp, and I realized she would go on the quest no matter what.

He came back victorious, and they rushed off to greet him as soon as he entered camp. All my friends had left me to go worship their new hero, and I was left in the dark.

The only ones I really counted friends anymore were Nico, Thalia, Annabeth, and Grover. But Nico was always in the Underworld helping his father, Thalia was in the Hunt and hardly ever visited camp, and Grover was busy filling his duties as Lord of the Wild.

I wondered around camp, trying to find something to fill the boring gaps between my sword fighting lessons. I had been teaching new campers the proper ways to hold and use swords, and now I had nothing really to do.

I passed Connor and Travis who were talking and laughing with Logan and while planning pranks to play on the other cabins. Their eyes washed over me like I wasn't even there.

Clarisse was terrorizing one of the new campers I had just taught in my earlier class. Her eyes met mine and she nodded slightly. We weren't anywhere near being friends, but she knew self-centered my half brother was, and we agreed he wasn't good at anything.

I sighed and headed down to the beach and sat there waiting. Nothing to do. Everyone acted like I was a nobody. After a few minutes, I checked my watch and headed back to the arena.

The next day . . .

"I have good news. Annabeth is returning from Olympus and is going to spend a few weeks here at Camp Half-Blood!" Chiron announced at breakfast.

Logan's eyes lit up when he mentioned Annabeth's name. I glared and continued eating my breakfast.

Annabeth arrived an hour later and she immediately made a bee-line to Logan. I could feel myself getting angry, but shrugged it off. If she wanted to say hi to Logan that was fine with me, right? I shook my head and walked back to my cabin.

Logan came in and started bossing me around as usual. "Oh, and by the way, Chiron wants to talk to you about something, but I don't get why since I'm obviously better than you!"

I rolled my eyes and met Chiron outside the cabin. "I have bad news." He said, "Your parents died last night in a fire. I'm so sorry Percy. No one knows how it happened, and there was nothing that could be done."

I walked away and saw Logan and Annabeth talking. I slowed down and hid behind a tree.

"You know I'm the best hero to ever live. Why are you going out with that idiot brother of mine when you should go out with me? I'm way better looking and better than Percy and better than him at everything. It's so obvious, I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet."

I found that a bit insulting to Annabeth, but she brushed it off.

"I-I'm not really sure." She said kind of hesitantly, and I felt a surge of pride that she was actually rejecting him, but the next words made my heart break. "I was kind of looking at that son of Apollo, you know, the dreamy one with the blonde hair and light eyes? I mean, I totally agree with you, anyone's better than Percy! He's completely useless! How could he even conquer Kronos, oh yeah, he had my help!"

Logan looked pissed off at being rejected. None of the girls at camp, except Annabeth or course, wouldn't go out with him. He pushed Annabeth back until she was leaning against the tree I was behind. He placed his hand on the trunk and kissed her.

She looked shocked for a moment before kissing back.

I could feel myself shutting down. My face went blank and I clenched my jaw. I waited until they were gone before heading to my cabin and grabbing my stuff and putting it in a backpack.

I walked out as everyone was eating dinner and paused by Thalia's tree. Reaching out, I put my hand on the trunk and sighed. I turned around and walked out of the borders and away from camp.
