I'm starting the story out just before the awards ceremony for the 7 after the Giant war. Apollo is still here and not on earth as a mortal because this is a pertimis story, and he is an important character. :/

Chapter 1

Percy Jackson

Two figures off in the distance, one seems to be a girl, the other a boy. I recognize the boy as the new kid from camp. His dad was Zeus, and he hated me for not reason at all. The girl starts to speak.

"Cedric, we can't hide this much longer, someone is going to find out eventually." I was startled as I realized the girl was Annabeth.

"Anne, you just have to dump that loser Jackson! That way we can actually be together." Cedric said, kissing Annabeth on her forehead.

"I know" Annabeth sighed "I will tomorrow" she decided, leaning over to kiss him.

Just as their lips touched, I jolted awake.

"NO!" I cried out, hitting my head on the bunk above me. Ow. Weird, that was the second night in a row that I had had that dream. It was starting to unnerve me. "No no no, she wouldn't do that to me, right?" I muttered to myself. I shook my head, "Yeah, she loves me." I said, more sure of myself. I glanced at the clock. Oh Gods! It was noon! I had to be at Olympus by 12:15 for the award ceremony for the group of us that were on the Argo II. I threw my pants on, and rushed by the pavilion, grabbing a blue waffle as a ran, and made a break for the Pegasus stables.

"Hey boss!" I heard blackjack call to me

"Not now blackjack! I need to get to Olympus ASAP!" I said to him, jumping on his back

"I can't do ASAP boss, but I can do Lickety Split." He jokingly responded before taking off in the direction of Olympus.

-Time skip-

I rushed through the doors into the throne room, the Gods stopped talking, and looked at me. My friends glanced at me with sympathetic looks.

"Percy Jackson" Boomed Zeus, "I thought that you were never going to arrive."

"Sorry Lord Zeus, I got caught in traffic!" I called, taking my place next to Annabeth. She glanced at me, then quickly away. Weird.

"Well then lets get started" Zeus said. "All of you have been offered immortality, and a place at your parents sides. Do you accept?" Everyone said yes except me

"Percy Jackson you dare refuse our gift again!" Zeus said angrily

"Yes. Lord Zeus, could you just make me immortal? I have something that I want Lady Athena to help with instead of full godship"

Athena raised her eyes, then a look of understanding dawned in them. She nodded. "I will discuss his gift with him later" she said.

Zeus nodded.

"Alright, for the rest of you Prepare for you ascension. There was a flash, then the fates appeared. All hail:

Jason, minor god of storms,

Piper, minor goddess of true love,

Annabeth, minor goddess of architecture,

Hazel, minor goddess of wealth,

Frank, minor god of animals

Percy Jackson, you are now immortal, though can be killed in combat.

(Leo is with calypso remember?)

The fates flashed away.

"Let the party begin!" Yelled Zeus

I walked towards Athena, and she looked at me. "Do you think the time has come Percy Jackson?"

"Yes milady, can I have your daughter's hand in marriage?

She sighed "Yes you may"

I grinned and thanked her profusely before walking away to enjoy the party.

-That Night-

I walked toward the beach, to find Annabeth. I knew she liked to hang out there, just like me, and I knew it would be the perfect place to ask the question. That is when I saw them. That is when I had my heart shattered. Just like my dream, Cedric and Annabeth were sitting on the beach. They kissed, and a lone tear ran down my stricken face.

I managed to get out, "Annabeth, Why?" Before dropping the ring and running away. I ran towards my cabin and made a decision. I grabbed my stuff, and left camp, heading towards my mom's house.

Annabeth

I pulled back from Cedric and looked into his eyes. I just barely heard a small voice, so fragile, as if it could be broken at the slightest touch. I look up to find Percy there, tears running down his face, before he runs, dropping something in the sand. Crying at what I had just done, I walk over and pick it up. When I see the beautifully crafted ring inside, I start to sob. What had I just done.

Percy Jackson

I could not believe she would do that to me. I walked through hell for her. I had loved, her, and I did not think I could love anyone else. Tears fell, as the elevator rose towards my moms' apartment. I knocked before walking in.

"Mom! It's me Percy!" I called. I waited but got no answer. I walked into the main room of the house, only to see my mom and Paul's butchered, twisted bodies lying on the bloody ground. I unleashed the most power I have ever unleashed at once in my anger and grief. It destroyed the whole apartment, causing the whole building to rumble. Fresh tears fell from my eyes, as I fell to my knees. I was broken, utterly broken. A flash of fire appeared next to me, and I felt arms rap around me. Hestia.

"Oh Percy, I'm so sorry." Hestia said softly as she hugged me

I hugged back tight and wept. "Hestia" I asked, "could you do me a favor?" I asked softly

"Yes, dear, what do you need?" Hestia asked

"I need you to kill me" I said

Her eyes hardened "NO" She yelled "I will not. I know I cannot replace your mother, but I can adopt you as my son.

"Thanks… mom" I replied softly.

"Here," she said as she started to glow. "I have claimed you as one of my own. You now have powers over fire, and can summon home cooked meals at will."

"Thanks a lot Hestia"

"I'm not done yet. I have an Idea I think you will like" Hestia said mysteriously.

Whelp, that's it for the first chapter! This is my first fanfic, so if you could review, that would be fantastic. I hope you enjoyed!
