Hello! This is my first PJ story so I hope you all like it. It took me a long time because this will NOT be percabeth and I think that percabeth is the absolute best fiction couple and it kills me to break them up…but I had a plot bunny tap me on the nose.

Disclaimer: the wonderful Rick Riordan owns Percy Jackson and Co.

Percy's life was over.

There was no other way to describe what he was feeling right now. He was running through the woods next to camp, trying to figure out where his life had gone all-wrong. It must have had to do with the fact that he was a son of Poseidon and seemed like Fate's bitch. He paused and leaned against a tree for support.

His day had started as normal as it could for a day at Camp Half-Blood, but at lunchtime…these…things had appeared and it seemed like only Percy could see them.

They were human like in appearance but that was where the similarities ended. They seemed to have a one-track mind and had chased Percy away from the camp and into the predicament that he was in now.

A crash behind him had him whipping his head around to see that one of the giant brutes had found him. He would have no choice but to fight. He pulled out Riptide and brandished it at the brute.

To his surprise the brute just stared at Percy, not doing anything. Percy was now slightly worried. What if this was all a trap? Percy had fallen right into it and now would have to pay the price.

Before he could think anything else, something hit him on the back and he blacked out.

Annabeth frowned. Several hours had gone by and Percy was nowhere to be seen. She prayed to the gods that it wasn't like last time. Spotting Nico and Will she ran over. "Hey guys. Have you seen Percy?"

Will and Nico shared a glance before Nico shook his head. "No. I haven't seen him since lunch."

Will placed a hand on Annabeth's shoulder. "Have you checked his cabin?"

Annabeth nodded. "I've checked everywhere….it's almost like…"

Will hugged Annabeth. "Hey now, don't worry. We'll find him." He grabbed Nico and pulled him up. "Let's help Annabeth." He turned Nico around, "go tell Chiron that Percy is missing and that we need to search the woods."

Nico stuck his hands in his pockets and shuffled off to find Chiron.

It was several hours later and still no sign of Percy had been found. Annabeth was too upset to take part in the search and was standing next to Chiron and Piper.

Even Chiron was looking grim.

A shout alerted Annabeth and the others. "Hey Annabeth! We found something." Grover came running towards the three with campers right behind him. In his hands he held…a piece of jewelry. Annabeth took it with outstretched hands and let the tears start falling.

It was Percy's camp necklace.

Chiron sighed. "This is a matter for the Gods." He clapped his hands. "Everyone back to camp and get some rest." He turned back to Annabeth. "We will go to Olympus in the morning."

Annabeth didn't say anything so Piper led her away.

The next morning Annabeth found herself piling in a car with her friends. Piper, Nico, Will, Jason and Malcom her brother, Chiron sat up front with Argus. It was a silent ride to the Empire State Building and it was a solemn ride up to the 600th floor.

Annabeth was dreading this meeting. She didn't know what she would do if Percy was…gone.

Chiron stopped at the doors to the throne room and knocked. The doors opened and Annabeth and the other demi-gods stepped into the room.

"What's the meaning of this Chiron?" Boomed Zeus. None of the other Gods spoke as they waited to hear what Chiron had to say. Chiron closed his eyes and bowed to Poseidon. Zeus looked ready to murder the old centaur but Hera held him back with a shake of her head.

"Lord Poseidon…I have bad news."

Poseidon narrowed his eyes at Chiron. "What news do you bring from camp?"

Chiron hesitated. He knew he had to tell Poseidon but at the same time he wasn't sure how the news would affect him. "…Percy is gone." He only whispered the words but it was enough.

Chaos broke out in the throne room. Poseidon seemed to shrink in on himself as the news that his favored son was missing. Athena took a look at her daughter between her brother and a daughter of Aphrodite. It was clear that she had been crying for hours, as her eyes were red and puffy. "Are you sure that young Perseus is gone? Have you checked with his mother?"

Athena's comment brought silence to the throne room. Poseidon perked up. He waved his trident and threw in a drachma. "Sally Jackson." An image appeared in the mist of Sally Jackson seated at a desk typing on a computer at a furious speed.

Poseidon coughed and Sally jumped in surprise. "Lor…Poseidon."

Poseidon smiled. "Hello Sally. I was just wondering if you had seen Percy?"

She frowned. "Percy…who's this Percy?"

Shock made it's way around the room in various ways. Poseidon cocked his head in confusion and Apollo and Hermes mouth's gaped open while most of the other gods were wide eyed.

Sally's smile faltered. "Lord Poseidon? Is there something wrong?"

Poseidon gave a sad smile and shook his head. "No…have a good day." He ran his hand through the connection and Sally Jackson disappeared.

The solemn mood had reappeared. Talking to Sally had confirmed it. Percy was gone.

So…what do you think? This is my hand at a Percy Jackson Chaos story. If the characters are a little OCC then I'm sorry…

Stay tuned…
