Chapter 1: Traitor
Percy's POV
I did it. I finally did it. Athena had sent me to kill almost every single kind of monster in the U.S. Do you know how hard that is? Extremely hard. Then Athena sent me to do the 12 labors of Hercules. I mean come on! I almost died! At least I got out with my arm seriously burned and Athena's approval to date Annabeth, and if Annabeth chose's to, I could marry her.
So here I was, approaching camp after going on a 10-month quest. I decided to travel by water, so I ended up on the shore of camp half-blood.
"Holy crap!" I saw Travis fall from the tree he hides in. I just laughed and helped him up.
"Percy my man! How's it going?" He hi-fived me. I smiled. Nice to know that someone hasn't changed. We walked to the dining pavilion and saw no one there.
"Where is everybody? It's lunch time." I said. Travis frowned. I noticed that he had a dangerous look in his eyes.
"While you were away, you got a new brother. Almost everyone has fallen for him. His name is Aaron. He thinks that he's the only son of Poseidon and thinks he's the best one ever." I also frowned.
"He's 16 years old, 3 years younger than you. But Connor, Katie, the whole Ares cabin, Chris, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, Jason, Nico, Thalia and I don't follow him. There are some pockets of kids who are with us to, but everyone else loves him. Though Chiron and Poseidon don't like him. But since he's your brother Poseidon can't do anything. Chiron told me that he hopes that you can change him." That sunk in very fast. I grimaced.
"Alright. Let's get some food." Travis shrugged and we went to get the still full tables of food. Conner ran up to us and joined us.
"They're in the arena still, all watching Aaron thinking he's the 'best' swordsmen ever." Travis rolled his eyes. We each grabbed a hotdog and sat down at our tables. Then everyone else filed in behind Aaron. Then he saw me sitting at the Poseidon table eating. I didn't notice him standing next to me until he hit my hotdog out of my hands and across the room. Everyone became quiet, and eyes widened as they saw me.
"Who are you to sit at my table? Get your slimy butt out of here." I almost laughed. His voice sounded like he was on helium. And he was only 5'7. I was about 6'2 and still growing a bit. The doctors say I'll be around 6'6 when I'm finished growing.
"Really? Do you know who I am?" I stood at full height, making him back up a little. Everyone sat there with fear in their eyes.
"No, but I don't have to." I laughed a cold laugh.
"Come on? No one even spoke about me?" I questioned. The campers just looked down. Aaron was looking at them curiously.
"Are you important or something? Because I should know since I'm the leader of this camp." I raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm your older brother, Percy Jackson, and I'm the leader of camp." I watched for his reaction. At first he seemed shocked. Then he got angry.
"This is my camp! Now if you believe that you're more amazingly awesome then me, then prove it." He pointed at the arena. I just sighed.
"No powers?"
"No powers." He confirmed. I nodded and stalked to the arena, while the campers chanted
"Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!" I just growled. Once I got in the arena, I saw most of my friends on my side of the arena, while the rest of the campers were on the other side. I stood and waited for him. He entered and raised his hands. Everyone cheered. Then he drew his sword and charged. His stance was terrible and his sword weighed more than him. I rolled my eyes. Right as he swung at me, I side-stepped and disarmed him. He snarled and threw a punch at me. I ducked under it with ease and punched him in the gut. He fell down and I took his own sword and put it at his neck.
"Give up?" I asked. The campers were just staring in shock, well, except for my friends.
"Yes." He grumbled. I nodded, handed him his sword, and walked away. I was about to leave when I heard Nico shout.
"Watch out!" I immediately turned and raised my hand to block a sword. It cut deep into my skin causing me to bleed. I rolled out of the way as I saw the sword come back. I jumped up to see Aaron trying to stab me.
"Dude! What are you doing?" He grinned like a shark. There was blood all over the arena floor and my hand was covered in blood.
"Taking over camp." He swung again. I ducked and ran back. I couldn't use my left hand.
"Really? We could've been good friends." I pulled out riptide and clicked it. I twirled riptide and waited for him to strike. He charged and I tripped him. As he fell I whacked him in the head. Je fell unconscious. I calmly walked to the infirmary. I waited for everyone to come back, and I saw Will come in.
"Nice to know some sane healer." He laughed and bandaged my hand.
"Well, I must say, you showed him." I smiled.
"Take some nectar and you should be fine." I nodded and drank it. I immediately felt better.
"Thanks Will."
"Anytime Perce." I left and went to my cabin, hoping everything would blow over and get better.
Boy was I wrong. My friends and I were pinned as losers as everyone still loved Aaron. I slowly lost some of my supporters, but all of my old friends were never affected. I would be attacked by campers, but I always scared them off. But it got worse. It seemed as if everyone forgot about me.
So here I was, walking to the beach about 2 months after my return, and I see Annabeth and Aaron making out.
"We've been together for 5 months, when are we going to tell Percy." Annabeth gasped between kisses. My heart broke. 5 months? I've been back for 2! The sky darkened and the waves started to get bigger. I walked out from the bush.
"Hey guys. Nice view." I growled. They jumped apart. Annabeth looked horrified and Aaron smirked.
"I loved you Annabeth. And you broke my heart. That quest I went on, it was to prove to your mom that I was a worthy boyfriend. The twelve labors of Hercules. And that was the end of it!" I shouted. The ground started to shake and lightning was striking down very rapidly. It started to rain. Hard. I was on a roll now.
"I hope you guys rot in hell." Annabeth and Aaron suddenly became horrified and back away. They pointed at my eyes. I looked at my reflection and my eyes were glowing green. No white or black part. Just green. I calmed down and walked into the ocean.
"I'll be with father. Goodbye." I left as a massive lightning bolt struck camp. I willed the water to carry me to my father's palace.
1 year later
I have been training at my father's palace for a year. I have learned many new powers and abilities. But my father never told me what the training was for. He said that I would find out today.
"Percy, we are heading to Olympus. It is time for you to find out what you've been training for." We water vapored to the Empire State building. Over the past year, I have grown a few inches, developed a six pack (I'm so proud of myself!), and I can control my emotions better. Dad showed the guard a card, and walked past him. I followed and soon enough we were heading up to Olympus.
"Hey dad, why are we going to Olympus?" I asked.
"To show you what you've been training for." He smiled. The elevator door opened and we approached the throne room. When we entered the gods became quiet. Dad went to his throne and the gods stared at me. I suddenly felt self-conscious.
"Poseidon, why is Perseus here?" Zeus asked. Dad grinned.
"He is the person I was talking about." Athena looked surprised.
"You want him to be a god?" Whoa, back up. What?
"Yes, no one at camp respects him anymore. Only a few people from the Titan war do."
"Like Annabeth?" Poseidon's eyes darkened as did mine.
"No. She cares nothing for my son." Athena looked at me angrily.
"You dumped her?" She scowled. I almost attacked her. The throne room darkened and started to shake. I was trying to hold back my anger but I don't think it was working.
"She. Dumped. Me." I slowly said between deep breaths.
"She cheated on me with my own brother." The gods and goddesses looked at Aphrodite who was sniffling.
"It wasn't me. It was all Annabeth." Athena looked truly shocked.
"I am sorry Perseus…I never thought a child of mine could be so…..unwise." I nodded. Then Zeus cleared his throat.
"Well Perseus, you have been training to become a god. Do you accept?" I nodded again. They all stood up and raised their hands. Beams of energy shot out and I felt as if I was being burned alive. Then I felt good. I felt powerful and I noticed that I was glowing and the gods had sat back down.
"All hail Perseus, god of Tides, Storms (All storms), Earthquakes, Swordsmanship, Heroes, Bravery, and Senses." Zeus announced. I started to hear a lot of voices in my head.
"Now, to vote on who will train him?" He listed the gods and goddesses and no one voted. Then he said Artemis. Almost everyone raised their hands.
"Artemis, you are to train Percy." We shouted in protest.
"Are you serious? Do you want me to die?" I shouted. Hades, who was there since he's now an Olympian, smiled.
"A boy! Father" Zeus silenced us.
"My word is final. Percy you are to accompany Artemis and her hunt. Meeting adjourned." The only thing I could think about was how I was going to die.
Hoped you guys liked it!
