Chapter 1: A Brokenheart
Percy's POV
It's been two years since the battle with the titans and thing at Camp Half-Blood are as normal as ever... or at least as normal as they can be being a camp full of demigods. Things were good. The gods stuck to their promise and more and more half-bloods were showing up and being claimed.
Right now I was walking through the forest where we play capture the flag thinking about my amazing girlfriend, Annabeth. The way her grey eyes shine when she looks at the moon. Her perfect blonde princess curls. The look she got when she talked about architecture. I would listen, no matter how much it bored me, just to see her happy face. But most of all I thought about the small platinum ring in my pocket. How in the world am I going to propose in a way that shows her just how special she is to me?
I was so lost in thought I almost hadn't realized I was behind Zeus' Fist or the voices on the other side. Almost. One voice inparticular really crushed me though. I slowly crept around to the other side and if hearing her voice crushed me, then this put bullets in my heart, tossed my body in Greek fire, and, just for good measure, a kick to the jewels. Yet, I was still able to keep calm. At least on the outside anyway.
There was the girl I was about to propose to having sex with this guy named Trevor who thought he was a big-shot just because he was Zeus' son. Even with the evidence right infront of my eyes and the noises coming from Annabeth's mouth, my heart still refused to believe that someone they loved so much could do this. All she did was confirm it when she opened her eyes and looked in my direction. A look of panic flashed across her face as she scrambled off Trevor and ran towards me. Without a second thought, I took the ring out of my pocket, looked at it and let it fall to grass without a sound. I turned on my heel and ran back towards camp.
"Wait! Percy, wait! I can explain!", she cried to me across the forest, but it didn't matter because now I was heart-broken and furious. I wanted to kill something. ANYTHING! Just to take away the thought of her. I ran and ran until I ran right to my cabin. I shut the door behind me and locked it just to keep people out. I wasn't in the mood to talk. With every second my anger grew into full on rage. I swear you could see steam coming out of my ears. I couldn't stay here. Not where she could find me. And so I ran. Right past Thalia's tree. I ran until it was pitch black and my legs burned. I had no idea where I was and the last thing I remember was a warm smile before I passed out.
Annabeth's POV
I felt terrible. Not because he caught me, but because he caught me now. Truth is, I've been cheating on him for months with Trevor. I just don't feel the spark that I had with Percy anymore. I think it fizzled and died a long time ago, but apparently I was the only one who felt it die. I walked over to where Percy had been standing. The look he had on his face was one of absolute torture. I saw a small silver coin in the grass and picked it up. No! Not a coin, a ring! Now I just feel worse and I started to cry. Strong arms wrapped around me from behind while I did.
"Don't worry about him. He was a loser, a nobody. You're too sexy to be with someone like him. So weak and pathetic. And people say he saved Olympus? Please!", Trevor's words only made her cry harder, but that didn't stop him from ramming into her as if nothing had happened. "You're mine now, remember."
Hestia's POV
I was siting around my usual fire in my usual forest in my usual spot, but then, out of no where, Perseus Jackson comes sprinting right past me, which was anything except usual. Number one, normally Percy stops and says hello if he sees me anywhere, but he didn't even acknowledge me and number two he's never in this forest. No one's ever in this forest besides the animals who live here and me. I got up and ran after him, calling his name, but he never turned around. He slowed down and then stopped. I took this as my chance to catch up with him.
I got right in front of him and he looked at me, although not really seeing me. His eyes held so much pain and sadness. I wonder what could have caused him to look this way. I smiled at him comfortingly and reached up to touch his head. The second the pad of my pointer finger touched his forehead, he crumpled to the ground. He fell into a peaceful slumber. At least, I hoped it was peaceful.
A/N: Sorry it was short! I swear on the Styx the next chapter will be longer.
