Hi everyone, I came up with the idea of this fanfic a few days ago. It's basically taken place after the war with the Giants (HoO). Since everything's finally at peace Percy Jackson thinks it's time to finally propose to Annabeth Chase, he asks permission from Athen, only to be rejected. But that doesn't stop Percy. He cant just end the relationship right away can he? So he disobeys Athena and proposes, only to be cursed by the Goddess of wisdom for eternity…READ AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS….
Disclaimer: Remember I don't own the PJO or HoO, keep that in mind.
Immortality is a curse
Chapter 1: She's finally at peace
PERCY
As I stood there tears slowly dripping down from my face, I was a broken man. I was staring down at her grave, Annabeth Chase, The love of my life. I knew this day would finally come. The day she would have to leave me. The day that would change my life forever. They say a life of a hero is never easy. I agree, even after I saved the world twice, still in the end I could never find peace. Looking down at her grave only brought me back memories of the day all this had to happen.
*Flashbacks*(70 years ago)
Gaea has finally been defeated, the seven demigods had succeeded on their quest on stopping the giants from destroying the core of Olympus that was in Greece itself. Although one demigod never made out of the war alive. Frank Zaghn gave up his life to save us, his life stick was burned in the process, we all felt so sorry for Hazel. Her boyfriend was no more. Although soon when the war was over Hazel and Leo got together after realizing that Leo was really Sammy, Hazel's lost boyfriend. They both went to live in Camp Jupiter were they soon got married. Jason too went back to Camp Jupiter and married Reyna, though he felt really sorry for Piper, he had to let her go. Piper found a new life in the mortal world where she fell in love and got married. It was now only me Perseus Jackson who was left to finally be with the love of my life Annabeth Chase.
I was afraid to go and propose to her. To tell her that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. I was afraid not because fearing that I would be rejected, but because of her mother Athena. Am pretty sure she'll rip me apart if she finds out that I married her favorite daughter, she really hated me, she told me to stay away from her daughter, but that was not possible I loved Annebeth too much to much to just let her go. Even though it sounds stupid but that's why I was going to have to ask Athena if I could marry her daughter, maybe now she thought I was more worthy of marrying her daughter because I was the hero against two wars, defeating the Titans and defeating the Giants. Maybe just maybe she would agree for me to marry her daughter.
So I was in the elevator on my way to Olympus thinking of how am going to ask for her permission. She has to say yes, she just has to. Without Wise Girl my life is useless. Soon the elevator stop, it was time to meet my doom. I walked in Olympus admiring the great work my Girlfriend had done with the place. Soon I was in the throne room, there I found the gods in a good mood and discussing about their own stuff. They looked in a better mood than they always are, maybe because the war was over and there was nothing to worry about anymore.
"Um excuse me" I said drawing there attention towards me.
"Perseus, to what do we owe the pleasure of having you here?" asked Zeus
"Uh sorry lord Zeus if am interrupting anything, but I just wanted to have a word with Lady Athena in private?" I asked, and turned to Athena who was glaring at me.
"Very well" He said, then turned towards Athena. "Athena our young hero wishes to speak with you in private is that okay with you?" He asked Athena. Athena turned to me again with a glaring look, then looked back to his father.
"Yes, I will speak with him private" She replied.
"Very well" said Zeus nodding to Athena to teleport me to a private place.
Soon I was teleported to a place close to an ocean were it was peaceful and quiet, I turned to my right to see angry grey I glaring at me. "What do you want to ask me Perseus?, this surely must be good because I don't have any time to waste with a sea scum." She said furiously
Now was the time to ask her, it's now or never. "Lady Athena am sorry to bother you and am pretty sure won't approve of this, but after the war I have felt myself grown more closer to your daughter, and I-" I hesitated before finishing the sentence.
"Perseus I don't have time to waste with you" she said Impatiently.
"I-I wish to marry your daughter" I said. It was quiet for a few seconds until she started to laugh."Hhahaha" She continued to laugh
"What's so funny" I asked confused
"Perseus you really think I would let my enemies son marry my favorite daughter?" She asked. "That would never happen even if though you have defeated Gaea, I would never approve of that." She said. Athena can be so hurtles. I thought. That's why Dad hates her. But that doesn't matter I will still love Annabeth.
"Athena please, I know you don't get along with my father. But me and Annabeth love each other. I am pretty sure if she knows you never let me marry her she would hate you Darley" I said getting more angry.
"Perseus Jackson, I know what is good for my daughter and I will do to her what I think is right, so you might as well just forget about her. And am warning you if you disobey me and propose to my daughter, you would wish you were never born boy." She said. And just like that she disappeared. Soon I was teleported back to Camp Half-blood.
Anger was boiling inside me. Who does she think she is, it's not her decision, it's her daughters. Besides Poseidon told me if Athena even lays a finger on my she will regret. That's why I wasn't really afraid of her, and still didn't change my mind. Am still going to ask Annabeth Chase to be my wife.
Later on during the evening I was laying on the sand enjoying the see breeze, and looking at the beautiful sunset. Annabeth was at my side her too was enjoy it, until I started the talk.
"Hey Wise Girl" I said while turning to face her
"Yes" She replied turing to face me. I stared into her beautiful grey eyes, no matter what happens I would never leave Annabeth.
"I love you" I told her, we move closer until our lips met. I felt like I was floating. Almost every day Annabeth and I always come here to the beach to enjoy the sunset and kiss. But today I was going to propose to her no matter what.
Soon we pulled I away. "I love you too Seaweed Bran" she said.
"Um Annabeth can I ask you something?" I said
"Anything for you Seaweed Brain." She said smiling.
"Um after four years ago when the war was over, we became closer and closer to each other, And I've been thinking that we should be more closer to each, that's why-" I stopped. Then I stood up offered her my hand so she could stand up. Then I went on my knees leaving her standing. And pulled out a little box from my pocket. Then opened it. "That's why am asking you now Annabeth Chase. Would you marry me?" That's right I just popped the question, I could see the look in her face. She put her hands on her lips and whispered.
"O my gush Percy I-I-I-"
"Well?" I asked smiling
She jumped on me and I caught her. Then she looked at me with her eyes filled with tears of joy.
"Yes Percy I will marry." She said the hugged me tight like she's never hugged me before. Soon she dropped and got back to her feet. I took her hand and slowly placed a ring around her finger, she examined it and looked at the words that were written on it she read it out loud enough for me to here.
"Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl 4 ever" She read, then looked up at me tears were now on her face again.
"Percy that's soo sweet" She said then hugged me again.
"Thanks" I said then hugged her back. This was the best moment of life.
Only to be interrupted by Athena.
"Perseus Jackson, I thought I told to stay away from my daughter, now you shall face my wrath" She said furiously. Anabeth walked in front of me to protect me.
"Mom stay out of this I love Percy why don't just let me be with him. The war is over, and I want to finally leave my life with the man I love." Annabeth was shouting at her mother.
"Listen Annabeth am only doing this for you, it's only a matter of time before he will betray you and leave you alone. He is no better from his selfish father." She yelled. I walked in front of Annnabeth.
"You will not talk about my father like this Athena, it's not your choice to choose what your daughter wants, that's her own choice so just leave us alone." I shouted back at her.
This time she didn't yell back, instead she raised her hand, then she started to shine in a bright color of gold. I had to cover my eyes , then I heard her say something that changed my life forever.
"Perseus Jackson I tried to warn you but you wouldn't listen. Now I am going to curse you with Immortality, you will live forever in earth, but only to watch you loved ones die, for you will never age for the rest of your life" said Athena
"Noooooooooo" Annabeth screamed. But it was already too late.
...End of Flashback…
Yep that was what happened, I was cursed by the immortality curse. I watched annabeth for seventy years age as I stayed 20 for the rest of my life, we never got married after that. After the day Athena had cursed me I couldn't marry annabeth knowing that once she will be old while I was just 20, it heart so bad. I told her once to find another person and move on with life. But she refused. She wanted to be with. And so I stayed by her side till the day she died. That's why am standing here looking at here grave. Bringing back the memories, the days when we were teenagers, I would do anything to get back those days. Anything. I looked at the grave, it said from 1996-2083. Annbeth Chase. I looked at the ring that I had given it to her, I decided I should hold on to it.
There was Nothing left for me in this cruel world. I could have killed myself too, but that's imposible cause the curse doesn't allow me to die. The only friend I was left with was Thalia. She attended the funeral, my Dad, Chiron and some other gods even including Athena. Though I felt like riping her apart, but it was useless she was a goddess. And she can't be killed. All of my other friends died too, they all got old. Why did life have to be so hard?
Years Later
Since the day my wise girl died, I promised myself not to fall in love with another person, or get friends in my life. Since one day I will just have to watch them die in the end. So I decided to stay at camp Half-blood for the rest of my life helping Chiron with stuff and training as hard as I can. You might ask training for what, but I don't now. Whenever I trained it just helped reduce my anger. My heart was riped apart I could feel it, I knew wasn't the same Percy as I was before.
