WARRIORS OF CHAOS

CHAPTER 1

PERCY POV

It was just any other day. Annabeth and I have just been hanging out, practicing sword fighting and doing all the other activities when a figure stumbled up half blood hill. Annabeth and I rushed over to the figure.

It was a boy. He had my black hair, was around my age and body, but his eyes were more of a forest green and mine were sea green. He had tons of scratches on his body, and his clothes had big patches where there were bloodstains.

It wasn't too hard to figure out why he was injured. There was my old friend, the Minotaur, and he seemed less scary since I last saw him. There he was, swinging his axe, blundering on towards us.

"Go get him to the infirmary." I told Annabeth

"I got beef head over there." I finished, jerking my thumb towards the raging Minotaur. Annabeth nodded, and dragged the boy, who had lost consciousness, towards the Big House.

I charged towards the Minotaur, bringing out Riptide. The minotaur kept on running at me, full speed, and 2 seconds before we collided I stepped to the side and held my sword out to the side. The Minotaur ran right through it, confused, before it dissipated into nothing.

I then went to the infirmary to check up on the boy and get back to Annabeth. As I walked into the room where the boy was, I saw Annabeth sitting in the chair next to his bed, where he was sitting up, drinking some nectar.

"So how are you?" I ask him.

"I'm pretty good, thanks to Annabeth." He replied, which made said girl blush.

"So, Annabeth, ready to get back to our activities?" I ask

"Sorry Perce, I'm going to show Liam here camp so I won't be able to." She says apologetically and I shrug, even though I feel a pang of jealousy.

"Its fine, whatever." I say, and walk to the ocean to sit, calm down and relax.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 months later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh my gosh, Liam you're so brave." An Aphrodite girl gushed as Liam, who turned out to be my step- brother, beamed. Liam has just finished a quest to defeat the Hydra and everyone is here, even my dad.

For the past few months Liam has been going on quests issued specifically to him from the gods. And, once Poseidon, -I wont call him dad- named him his favorite son everyone has been paying him attention, and its kind of getting on my nerves.

Its not like I want attention, in fact that's the opposite of what I want.

But Liam's not just getting attention, he's getting my friends attention, and so far Katie Gardner, the Stoll's, and Clarisse have begun to hang out with him and forget about me. Just like almost all the campers, but I don't care since they're not as close as my friends.

But whatever, I want to see if I can go visit mom and Paul so I'll just ask Chiron. As I walked up to the big house, I saw Chiron, in his wheel chair, watching the commotion from the patio.

"Hey Chiron, can I go visit mom and Paul?" I ask.

"Sure." Chiron said. And I went back to my cabin to get packed.

`~~~~~~~~10 minutes later~~~~~~~

I boarded Argus' bus as the hunters arrived, mentally noting to talk to Thalia, excited, no, thrilled to see mom and Paul again. When we were a block away, Argus stopped and let me off. I raced down the block and turned the corner to see mom and Paul's house, and stopped short.

There was something that would forever haunt me. The house was burnt to a crisp, and there were both firemen and policemen standing outside the house.

"Wh-what happened?" I choked out.

"Who are you?" the policeman asked in turn

"Percy Jackson, son of Sally Jackson, who lived here." I answer and they look at me sympathetically

"Sally and her fiancée, Paul, were killed when the house collapsed in flames. But they were asleep, so they died peacefully." The policeman replied, looking at me with increased sympathy.

Tears were welling up in my eyes. I walked away from the scene and as soon as the people were out of sight I sprinted towards camp. When I was finally at camp I wiped my eyes and headed towards Artemis' cabin, hoping for some help from Thalia.

I knocked on the door and Thalia answered.

"Hey Thalia can I talk to you in um, private?" I asked, looking at the other hunters nervously.

"Sorry Percy, maybe some other time, but me and my sisters are still unpacking." Thalia replied

"Please, just for one second?" I asked, seriously needing to talk. But Thalia just shook her head and closed the door.

Then I headed for the Hades cabin where I knew Nico would be. I knocked on the door and he came out.

"Hey Nico, can we talk?" I asked hopefully

Nico shook his head. Rejected again.

"Sorry Perce, got to go to my dad soon." He said and I walked off, not wanting to bother him any longer.

When I knocked on the door, Malcolm answered.

"Hey Malcolm where's Annabeth?" I asked

"At the beach." He said nervously. I headed towards the beach, hoping for comfort, but that was the opposite of what I got.

There was a Blondie and Liam sucking face. At first I thought nothing of it and kept walking. But then my blood turned into pure ice because that Blondie wasn't any Blondie- it was Annabeth.

My breath stopped. Then I gasped for air a little too loudly and they heard me. Annabeth looked at me with confusion and Liam had a smirk on his face, looking as smug as heck.

"P-p-percy its not what it l-l-l-looks like." Annabeth stuttered

"C'mon Annabeth, he would have found out eventually." Liam coaxed and Annabeth sighed

"I'm sorry Percy, my feeling just aren't there any more. Can we still be friends though, like old times?" She asked/stated hopefully. I walked away tears streaming down my face, but not before turning back just one more time.

"Btw Annabeth, mom and Paul just died in a fire."

And with that I ran away to my cabin and packed everything I had. Before scrawling a quick note.

Dear well, everybody,

I am leaving camp and never coming back. I may not always get stuff, but I know when I'm not wanted. And just so you know, I needed to talk to you guys because my mom and Paul had just been killed in a burning house, but I doubt you guys'll care anyway. I dont no were Ill go, but i know its not her.

Sincerly,

Percy Jackson

I then walked up half blood hill and stood next to Thalia's pine tree, taking one last look before leaving camp half-blood, hopefully forever.
