A/N I'M BACK! I know, some of you are probably thinking, 'Wait! You were gone?' Yes I was in fact, for a few days. I wasn't actually on a trip though. I just couldn't post anything on the site. For those of you who don't know already, I was having some technical difficulties. Or in other words, the charger cord cord for my chromebook broke, so I couldn't charge it. Now I'm back though because I got a new cord. (Yay!)
Also, if any of you are wondering about the one-shot called Turtle that I was going to write, don't worry. I'm getting there. (It's like halfway done.)
Now, onto the sadness! (Man, that sentence won't help me get followers.)
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HOO. (Ha ha, HOO. I never get of that. :D)
To the Olympians,
You wanted a hero?
Well so did I.
Do you know, Olympians, what I've been through? Don't lie to me. I know you don't. For years my mom and I had to suffer at the hands of a terrible man. (Don't look so astonished, Artemis. Even males can suffer. Life isn't perfect for us either.) And you know what that man did? He beat us, my mom and I. At first, it was just verbal abuse, but then it slowly changed. You know, I was glad when I came to camp. Everything is so much nicer there. I never had nice things. My mom and I were basically broke all the time. It was rare to have a good meal. And it was all because of that filth of a man. No, man is too nice of a word for him. He was a monster.
You are hoping for a hero?
Well I'm sorry, but I can't be that for you.
Me, a hero? (I can't help laughing when I hear someone calling me that.) When I was younger, I would have called an asylum if I had heard you say that. Now? Well now that I now about the gods, I would probably call Dionysus. Athena, you don't think I'm a hero, and I have to agree with you. To make it worse? You sent me into a second war. Can't you gods cut me any slack? I'm just a kid!
Someday, you're going to need a hero, and you know what?
I won't be there.
I'm out of Tartarus now. Annabeth and I are safe, no thanks to you. Don't be hypocrites. Don't lie to me. (I'm sick and tired of lies.) Don't lie to me, and say that things will be alright from now on. Don't make promises that you can't keep. (Swearing by the Styx won't do you any good. The big three tried it, and look how that turned out.) You guys haven't been there for your children, and you haven't been there for me, so don't you dare lie to me and say that you will protect me. (Where were you during my childhood or during Tartarus? Where were you during the rest of my miserable life?) Someday, you're going to need your children, and you are going to need me, but we won't be there. We will be gone, dead, because you couldn't love us or care enough to protect us.
Don't give me that look Zeus. I'm not going to betray you like Luke did, My fatal flaw is, after all, loyalty, even to those who don't care about me. (Sad, isn't it? It's ironic really.)
Don't worry Olympians. I'm not insane yet. (Although I'm pretty darn close.)
From your "hero",
Percy Jackson
A/N Hey! If you liked this, I was thinking of adding more chapters and making this a story. Each chapter will be a letter from Percy to one of the Olympians (plus Hades and Hestia). What do you think? Review with your answer please!
