First and only disclaimer
I do not own Percy Jackson, it belongs to Rick Riordan, but hey... It will be mine soon enough *grins evilly*
Chapter 1: Betrayal
Percy's Pov:
It was 3 months after the war with Gaea, and I was taking a nap on the beach when I woke to the sound of screaming.
Not that I was having a good dream (demigods never do) but I was bit annoyed to wake up before I wanted too
I got up quickly and headed toward the screaming, taking out riptide in the process. By the time I got up to the top of Half-Blood Hill, you could have sworn that someone was suffering in mortal agony (which I have done). I looked out to see a guy, 14 years old maybe, getting chased by 2 harpies. I sighed, remembering my good friend Ella, who was a harpy. I quickly ran to the poor kid's aid and took out the monsters, easily at that.
I walked over to the kid and asked him "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, and no thanks to you!" he snapped. He grabbed my sword and pushed me down before I could take it back.
"Hey! What the..." I said, just as campers started arriving.
"Yeah, that's right! You just tossed me a sword and told me to take care of it myself!" he explained to the campers.
"hey, what are yo-..." I started to say, but was interrupted by a couple of the campers and Chiron.
"Percy, you know better... I can't believe you would do such a thing!" he said sadly.
"Chiron, I did hel-..." I started again...
"Percy, and now you're even interrupting and arguing with Chiron, how low can you get today?" one of the campers asked.
"I'm not interrupting I'm just tryin-..." I tried to say again.
"Oh just stop embarrassing yourself Percy.."said the person I thought Iwould never hear this from.
"Annabeth...?" I said in disbelief. and I was even more confused when she walked over to the 14 year old kid and said " Are you alright, do you need to go to the infirmary?"
"ummmmm...maybe... Is that what you want?" he asked.
"We should get you checked out." she said with a smile, then glared at me.
As Annabeth walked away with the kid, who said his name was Logan Tines, all the other campers left, mumbling things about me and Harpies, swords and new kids. I felt left out. Not to mention a little freaked out at all the death stares they had all been giving me.
I just sighed, "This will probably be over before the sun goes down." I mumbled to myself as I walked back to the beach. I laid down, thinking this would be over before I woke up. It was about 2. Everything would be fine by 4 or 5, and maybe 6 at the latest.
As I started falling asleep, I was surprised to find it...
Dreamless.
-time lapse (about 5 hours)-
I woke up on the beach. I sat up and stretched out my back and looked at my watch. Oh man! It was already 7:15. I got up and ran toward the amphitheater. As I approached, a couple of campers gave me the death stares again, oh man, and about 5 hours after that happened. I frowned and took my seat. today the fires usually merry color, was more aggravated and scary. I frowned again. why was everyone in such a sour mood. It couldn't just because of me... Could it?
The fire stayed the same way during campfire songs, stories, and S'mores. I frowned (AGAIN) as everyone started socializing, I heard a few snickers and people making fun of me.
I sighed and got up to leave, then stopped when I heard everyone gasp. I turned my head to see what everyone was staring at. Logan Tines. the symbol of a dove floated above this head.
"Hail... Logan Tines... son of the goddess Aphrodite." Chiron announced. I sighed, but this time with relief, glad he wasn't in the Poseidon cabin. I turned and started toward the door. I felt a good amount of people starring daggers at me as I left. As I turned the corner to head toward my cabin I couldn't help but notice, the flames turning a bright orange. the color of happiness.
-Another time lapse( the next morning)-
I woke up again, a little surprised to find my sleep again... dreamless. I changed into my CHB T-shirt and was about to go to Chiron and ask what was happening, when I remembered, he hated me now. I groaned, I couldn't figure anything out. Man, I was starting to sound like Annabeth... ANNABETH! I could ask her... she should know about this stuff.
I ran across camp, trying to ignore all the death stares I was receiving. After avoiding a couple of trips and challenges...I finally found Annabeth.
"Hey Annabeth!" I yelled.
"What do you want Percy?"she looked at me with the same death stare.
I tried to ignore the stare "I just woke up and I noticed that-..." I tried to say,
"Look Percy, can we talk about this another time?" she asked, but I realized it was not a question.
"Ummm, yeah, sure.. just give me a call when you can talk, ok?" I asked, a bit disappointed.
"Okay, thanks." she said and walked away.
Hmmm that was weird, I thought.
That day was like a living hell for me. Everywhere I went people would throw stuff at me, snicker and walk away, or just ignore me completely.
I went to the beach and tried to calm my nerves, but that didn't work because a lot of campers were already there, and stared throwing stuff at me when I came within a 100 feet.
I sighed, and went to the dining pavilion.
I sat at my table, just has Logan and his brand new gang walked in. I didn't want to deal with this, so I started getting up to leave, when I heard Logan shout.
"Hey Jackson!... Where you going? Why don't you stay and entertain us." then, he smirked.
"..." I didn't say a word, I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Hey, when I speak to you, you reply, got it." he whispered in my ear, after running over to me. he took out his practice dagger, and said "If you don't reply, i will kill you, Jackson." he sneered.
"Fine" i said, finally replying, " I like your butter knife" and that's all I said.
"Why, you little-..." he said as he tried to bring the knife to my chest.
Upon instinct, I uncapped Riptide and deflected the blow, unintentionally disarming him. then, there was a flash of light.
"LOGAN!" I heard a women scream. I looked up and saw Aphrodite standing above us. "Percy Jackson! how dare you threaten my son when he is not even armed."
Another flash of light filled the pavilion. I saw my father, Poseidon, standing next to Aphrodite, wearing a look of disapproval.
"How could you do this, Percy? I'm disappointed in you. You are no son of mine. I hereby, disown you."
There was a ringing in my ears. I felt the power of the seas leave me, leaving me felling vulnerable. I was highly aware of Logan smirking while Aphrodite cooed over him. But that didn't matter. I cursed and ran out of the pavilion to my cabin... My home for the past couple of years. How had this all happened? I hardly understood any of it. It all happened so fast. I sighed, wanting the comfort of at least one of my friends.
There was no one I could think of, besides Annabeth.
I raced down to the beach hoping I could find her. and i did! but , I immediately wished I hadn't. because she was in the arms of another man, kissing the lips of another lover. They pulled away and I heard their conversation crystal clear.
"What about your boyfriend?" the stranger asked.
I waited for Annabeth to snap out of it and slap this guy, but she just smiled and said, "You mean, Percy, I'm going to break up with him tomorrow. Then we can really be together..._"
I didn't believe the name she just said! I couldn't believe she was dating him! him of all people! she was dating... she was dating...
"WHY ARE YOU DATING LEO!" I screamed.
They both whisked around, surprised as heck!
"Percy.."they both said in illusion.
I didn't even wait for my ex-friends to explain themselves. I ran, faster then I ever have. I ran inside my cabin and packed anything I thought was important to me. I quickly wrote a note explaining that I was gone. and I wasn't coming back. It said:
Dear whoever is reading this,
Yeah, I'm done, I'm done with this. I hope you all live good lives in your futures. wish me luck with my future, if you even care.
And whoever is reading this, tell Annabeth I wanted to asked her about dreamless sleeps over a period of time. oh well
-Percy Jackson
I walked down Half-Blood Hill and stared at what had been my home for years. what can I say. Oh Well.
-time lapse (the next morning)-
I traveled down Long Island Sound. I wasn't really tired. Just annoyed that my so called friends betrayed me. Oh well. I guess that had become my motto. So I wouldn't be hurt.
I sat down to take a break, but right as I did, I heard rustling somewhere nearby. I sprang up and uncapped Riptide. I looked around, suddenly seeing, Atlas, Zoe's father.
"What do you want?" I growled.
"Oh nothing. I just find it amusing that Olympus and its gods have finally broken their greatest weapon." he said with a chuckle "you know if you join me...we could get revenge on Camp Half-Blood..?"
"Why would I want that, hmmm" I asked. "They might have betrayed me, but that doesn't mean I don't care anymore."
"Oh fine, you don't want to join, I'll just have to kill you because you know of our plans..." he took out his sword (if you could call a 7ft piece of metel that) and started charging at me.
I raised Riptide, hoping I could at least defend myself. Atlas wasn't at his full strength yet, so I had a chance.
I met his blow head on. The sound ripped through the air and we continued to take strikes at each other. I was able to parry almost all of them, except for a few scratches here and there. Until Atlas threw a throwing knife toward me. If his knife had been a normal knife I could have easily blocked it. But no, this "throwing knife" was the size of my sword, traveling 50 miles per hour.
The "throwing knife" impaled me in the right shoulder, worst of all, it had poison barbs on it to. so i couldn't even take the 4 foot long sword out of my shoulder.
I continued to fight (a rather annoying fight) until I had Atlas backed into a corner (A tree).
He looked surprised as I sent him to tartarus. I sighed as pain shot up my shoulder. I laid down under a nearby tree (not the one i killed Atlas under) as my vision started getting blurry.
Damnit, the poison. I took a look in my bag to get some nectar, or ambrosia. But nothing. A monster must have snuck up on me and stole them. What was I saying. I probably dropped it somewhere.
As my sight disappeared and I lost feeling in my body, I heard a voice boom.
"Percy Jackson, you are hereby called for trial at the council of the gods." It boomed.
Great, the last thing I hear would be about me going to trial. I thought to myself and smiled as I disappeared into darkness.
Zeus's Pov:
What is Percy Jackson thinking, keeping us waiting. A few of the campers from camp Haft-Blood had come to see Percy's trial.
After 10 minutes, I was really annoyed.
"Hermes, go get Jackson now, he has made us wait long enough." I ordered.
Hermes flashed away to get Percy Jackson. He almost immediately returned with Jackson, who fell on the ground, on his stomach.
"PERCY JACKSON." I bellowed. No reply. "PERCY JACKSON." I said again. Still no reply.
"Why, you kid-..." Ares screamed and walked over to him and turned him over, then gasped. "What the-..."
When he was turned over, Percy had a sword sticking our of his right shoulder. "Apollo." I said.
Apollo rushed forward, he took the sword out of his shoulder and blood gushed out. Apollo tried to started healing the wound. "No no no no no no." He was mumbling. Percy's face started becoming a deathly pale.
"Apollo, what's going on?" I asked.
"He's lost the will to live, I can't heal someone who doesn't want to be healed." He replied.
Suddenly, Percy coughed up blood and started mumbling something with his eyes still closed. " I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I couldn't help, I'm sorry if I hurt any one, I'm sorry that everyone hates me, I sorry, I'm so sorry."
And with that Percy Jackson took his last breath, and feel into an endless, dreamless sleep.
Percy Jackson was dead.
"Percy..." I heard Poseidon say quietly. He took a look at his now dead son. The whole council was quiet as Apollo tried to bring Percy back. But then Hades tOLD us.
"His soul had moved on... He's gone" he said.
All of the gods and goddess looked at our once great hero, as 3 servants carried his body to the next room.
Then, all the gods started talking at once. "What have I done" I heard Poseidon say. "What in the hell happened?" I overheard Ares tell Athena. "QUIET!" I yelled.
Everyone looked at me. "Iris, can you show us how Percy Jackson died."
"Of course , but you will not like it." She replied.
A bright light filled the room as we were all taken through Percy's final days alive. It showed him saving Logan. Then, the campers believing Logan's lies (I believe charmspeak was involved). It showed Aphrodite yelling at Percy and Poseidon disowning him. Then, we saw Annabeth kissing another camper, who turned out to be Leo. Then it showed Percy confronting Atlas. Then here in the throne room after defeating Atlas, then finally... Dying.
Everyone looked shocked to see their hero, crushed by the gods and their
children. Everyone was still in shock when a servant came in shouting. "Percy's body, Percy's body is disappeared!"
