I
PERCY
I felt powers coursing through my veins. Lightning struck me but did not combust me, waters forming around me as the ground shook but none of my body muscles dared to move for I was the son of the sea god and earth-shaker. My aura glowed a shining coral blue and I felt powerful— like a god.
That's when a sob broke out in the throne room, I immediately turned to my right and saw a girl crying, tears were streaming like waterfalls down her alluring yet angelic face. She was very beautiful, the most beautiful and dare i say it, more beautiful than Athena or Aphrodite or all the goddesses and mortals combined. Her stormy grey eyes were glassy; glassy like one of the wine glass of the god of wine. She looked so fragile, like anyone can break her at any moment. Her once enticing lips were quivering like a 5 year old's lip because she's got her toy broken, but this time, it was her heart. She was beautiful, someone to die for and someone you'd kill for, I know I would. My mouth hung agape as i start to drool but I soon snapped out of my reverie when she started to run away from me. I was too aghast to move, it was like my feet were glued to the cold hard marble floor, not letting me walk. I watched her broke down on the floor bawling her eyes out as the elevator doors close, watching her in this kind of situation tore me ruthlessly knowing it was my fault. I could've declined the offer and maybe, just maybe, be with her. A pang of sadness suddenly hit me in the chest; I felt my heart-break, so this is how it feels like? I remember going to my first quest with her. I remember when we played hacky sack with an apple; does she even know it means a marriage proposal in Ancient Greek? Of course, she was a child of Athena. I remember when we found the master bolt of Zeus, when we retrieved the Golden Fleece, when I held the sky for her and the goddess of hunt, when we navigated our way to the workshop and our of the impossible Labyrinth of Daedalus, and especially when she finally kissed me for the first time. But i realized there was no getting back now even if i try, they're the gods after all, They're powerful.
My name is Percy Jackson, 16 years old, son of the sea god and earth-shaker Poseidon, Slayer of the gorgon Medusa, the titan Kronos and the Hero of Olympus, but who'd knew my weakness would be just a girl? And not some kind of monster, giant, or titan? Her name? Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, goddess of Wisdom, Crafts and Battle Strategies. I fought the war beside her not wanting to let go of each other. I've loved her since we were twelve but it's too late now. Still, I would hold the sky up again just to be with her.
It's been exactly one month since the war had happened. I was in my room in Mount Olympus, admiring the pictures I have back in Camp Half-Blood, I miss them; I'm not scared to admit. Especially, Annabeth. The last time I've seen her was when they made me a god. I don't even have any idea what she's doing now, I spent four years of my life going to quests with her, making sure she was safe and especially keeping my feelings from her, but it's wasted now since i accepted godhood. Excitement and thrill had corrupted my mind into accepting it. I wish I had a time machine to decline the offer but it's a little too late now, she doesn't even have any idea how I really feel about her. Before I drown in my thoughts, someone knocked in my door; I got up and opened it. It was Poseidon, my father. He's probably the awesomest god out of the big three, not because he was my father, but because Zeus is too serious and too confident. Hades, well, he tried to kill me several times.
"Percy, we have a meeting in the throne room in 5 minutes." He announced.
"About what?" i groaned.
"About the titan war" he said flatly.
"Okay?" I said scrunching my eyebrows as i walked out of my room and onto the throne room. I sat on my throne, next to my father's as we waited for Zeus. The god of war, Ares, smirked at me and gave me a smug look, as usual. Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love just smiled at me and bat her lashes. Gross, I only want Annabeth, only her. Athena frowned as if she was trying to read me— or probably giving me the same stormy grey eyes as Annabeth's when she's annoyed with me. See, being a god isn't really a good thing. It's frustrating. Zeus finally arrived and sat in his throne and everyone kept quiet.
"We all know that it has been exactly one month since the war" he said and all gods, including me, just nodded.
He continued, "And we won. I have decided to have a victory celebration, for us gods and the people in Camp Half-Blood" he looked at me in the corner of his eyes and just smirked.
"I think that's a great idea, right, Ares?" Dionysus, the wine god asked and earned a nod from the war god.
"Anyone disagrees with this decision?" Zeus asked turning his head left to right, nobody spoke.
"Very well, this meeting is adjourned" he added and all of us went back to our own businesses. I don't know if i should be excited or scared about this party, I'd see my friends and especially Annabeth, but i don't want her to see me with such hatred. All i know is, if i see her, I'd make it up to her, explain everything and maybe, hopefully, she'd forgive me. I wouldn't care if she doesn't feel the same way for me; I just want my relationship with her fixed, just like old times. She's my strength, I'd overcome anything as long as she's with me but i'm too weak to face my strength. I must have strength to face my strength but how will i have strength if my strength wasn't here next to me? tongue-twister right there. But she was my only strength & weakness, when I'm with her, butterflies flutter in my stomach like wild hell-hounds, i get the chills, and she makes my legs feel wobbly and my whole body goes limp with every touch. Everything has changed, i have no idea what to do, maybe run away and never face her again? But that's impossible, i can't even survive a day without seeing her, I'd sent iris-messages everyday at camp just to see how she's doing and if she was doing alright. One night, i saw her crying, i don't remember which day was it and to my surprise, Clarisse was next to her, patting her back as if she lost her Daedalus laptop, but i knew it was more than that. I just wanted to be next to her, wrap her in my arms, make love to her, kiss her, hold her, stroke her beautiful blonde princess curls, make sure she was safe with me and tell her beautiful things she'd never heard before and that everything was going to be alright until she stops crying. I might as well fade because of a broken heart just like an elephant would die; difference is, gods are immortals, we don't die, we fade. I went back to my room, and sent an iris-message to Annabeth but as usual, she didn't see it, which was great because she'd probably just disconnect it.
