Well hey guys! So im LadyKeye (obviously) and im new to all of this! So don't hate me too badly! Well actually you can hate me all you want, cause I don't really know you! Sorry? Anyway, I figured I would have a go at these overdone stories, trying to be better than all the 'Oh annabeth cheated on a dorky brother!..' cause honestly that would never happen. No offence to stories like that! There are some pretty great ones! So on with the story! By the way, the first chapter may seem a little cliche, but i had to start it off somehow! and please, if you make it through the first chapter, it will get better!
Important^^
And I will never own PJatO, as sad as that would be, I could never be that good of a writer.
Percy's Pov
I never really did believe in second chances, but I guess I've had my fair share. So this is how it would end…. I guess I wouldn't get my happy ending after all. Those jerks… why you ask? Well apparently I 'betrayed them..' whatever, they should know I didn't though, my fatal flaw is loyalty for gods sake!.. I guess the evidence did point to me. I wouldn't ever even think to do what I was framed for! Leo and Piper were dead, Jason was injured (and heartbroken), Frank was paralyzed, Hazel went mute.. Five of the seven, hurt, because Annabeth and I were 'conversing with Gaea'… Giving them info. We won the war, but with the biggest cost possible.
Right now, Annabeth and I were kneeling in front of the gods, while they were deciding our fate. Live or die, and our odds weren't looking too great. Zeus was babbling in the background, but I couldn't listen. Partially because of my ADHD, and partly because I was looking around, and I could tell that there were some campers who looked so betrayed, but there also were looks that said some believed us. The older campers, at least the ones I grew up with, still believed me for sure, and I hoped that several other campers would side with us too. Because if it was close, the vote would go to the campers.
My eyes traveled over to Annabeth, and she was gazing at me. "Together no matter what." I mouthed. She just nodded, and tears were streaming down her face.
"And now we come to our vote," Zeus thundered (sorry couldn't resist it) "All in favor for letting the traitors live" I looked around at the thrones, my father, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, Hermes, and surprisingly Dionysus all raised their hands. Hades tried voting, but when he did, Zeus' eyes just passed over him. I looked over to Annabeth and she was wide eyed. It would be a tie; it would go to the campers.
"Well then, I understand we have a tie, so the vote shall go to the campers, all in favor for Perseus and Annabeth to live?" Again I started looking around, and saw that we had hope! Most of the campers had raised their hands, some of course being Travis and Conner, Katie, Clarisse, who surprised me, Nico and Thalia, Will, and Reyna (I just decided to put the romans on Olympus too! Woohoo!) It looked as though we would be able to stay. The gods who had voted for us looked smug and happy. Zeus looked around and nodded.
"It is decided then, you two shall die and rot in the fields of puni-"
"WHAT?!"
"NO!"
"Thats not even fair." there was comotion and uneasiness all around us.
"No wonder everyone hates you." I gasped and looked around trying to figure out who shouted, thinking it was my father, but no. It was my cousins, the best ones anyone could ask for, Thalia and Nico. Zeus was glaring at them.
"Well then, if you both think they are so innocent, you may die with them." They both looked at each other and gave each other a slight nod. Both stepped towards the middle of the throne room, Thalia saying,
"I hope you are happy, killing you own children. That's just low." Zeus smirked; as if he wasn't even having a second thought about killing Thalia, and raised his master bolt. I looked to my cousins and forced a smile. There was a flash, and before the light blinded me, I saw a small glimpse of Annabeth. This could be the last time we saw each other, ever. Then we were enveloped in a black… cloud? Actually I have no idea what took us. Maybe we had died? But… it… didn't hurt?.. Shouldn't it hurt? Well in a way I was grateful, ironic how I can have a thought like that when I'm dying.
3rd person point of view
The throne room was deathly silent. Some black thing had come over the four demigods before the master bolt could come down and kill them. Poseidon had looked hopeful. He glanced up at Hades and asked,
"Uhh, are they… dead?" Hades eyes squinted and glazed over while his forehead crinkled, as if he was thinking on something hard. After a while, his face went blank, and he gazed around the room. Moments later he mumbled something out. Zeus was to say the least, furious.
"What was that Hades?"
"No. They are nowhere to be found in my realm. They're not in tatarus either." Everyones' eyes went wide. Not dead. They weren't dead. How was that even possible?! Just as Zeus was about to open his mouth, probably to start blaming his dearly beloved brothers who had both voted for Percy and Annabeth to live. Well, sort of. Another black cloud thing appeared and a young man stepped out.
He was a grown man, he wore a pitch-black suit, and it you glanced closely, and you could see small white specks all over it. He was definitely handsome, but in a scary and intimidating way. He was very pale, and it looked as though it had been chisled from marble. His dark eyes were full of knowledge, and some would argue he looked smarter than Athena. But he was scary. He looked downright furious, his death glare easily beat the big threes glares, if you put them all together. He was pacing… no stomping around the floor. You could practically see rage radiating off of his skin.
"How dare you Zeus!" he roared, and left no pause for anybody to talk. "You just killed the four greatest demigods. EVER. You gods are idiots; at least half of you have sense. But you Zeus, you're the leader. What a shame." At this Poseidon and Hades smirked. "You do realize that there is a coming war ahead, one greater than any of the others. Your only chance to win was if those four were here, but NOOOO. Idiot gods." Zeus tried to intervine and argue with him, but to that the man responded, "No."He huffed and turned around to leave, only to be stopped by Athena.
"Uh sir, when will this war happen?" Chaos' glare lessened as he looked at her. "You will find out dear." And with that he vanished into blackness.
Percy's Point of view
We were flashed into some room, one that had absolutely no doors. None. Nada. Zip. Get the picture? Four ADHD demigods, in a smallish room, with NO doors, not a good idea.
"Uhhh hey death breath, did we die?" Thalia questioned.
"No."… Wait what?! "Last time I checked, the underworld didn't look like this." That hit me like a ton of bricks. We didn't die, I'm not dead. Woah. Just then out of no where, another black cloud thing appeared, I groaned.. More people, in a small room, with no doors. A tall man stepped out and grinned, obviously satisfied by something.
"Uh sir," Annabeth finally looked up and asked," What in the gods name is going on here?" He looked amused
"Well that's one way of approaching the man who save your lives." He chuckled. He saved us, so he was obviously powerful. Very powerful. Even I could tell that, and I'm a seaweed brain, or so I'm told. I glanced at Annabeth, letting he decide if he was trustworthy. I could see the gears in her head turning, and Thalia and Nico's faces were scrunched in confusion, just as I'm sure mine looked. Then Annabeths' face brightened.
"You're Chaos aren't you!" I was confused, sure this man had caused a lot of chaos but he…. Wait, that makes sense! He smiled.
"Ah young Annabeth, you really are quite smart." He stated, smiling. Her face lit up and she smiled the brightest smile I've seen her smile for months. I know anyone's face would light up if the most powerful, well I think he's the most powerful, being gave you a compliment. He then looked at each and every one of us in the eye, when he reached me, I didn't know whether to be scared or not.
"So I have a proposition for you four, listen up." And with that one scentance, we were plunged into new lives, or at least a life very different than our last. I guess I never really did believe in second chances, but like I said… I've had so many, I've lost track.
