Percy ran off into the cold winter night, nothing but a backpack over his shoulder and heartbreak burning his soul. The glowing lights off the cabins got smaller and smaller, the place he once called home, growing farther and farther. He had managed to get out without anyone noticing, which was a huge relief.

Why are you running, Percy? you might ask. Don't you love Camp?

Heartbreak. That's why he's running. The girl he loved, the girl he fell into Tartarus with, is pregnant with another man's child. And she was cheating on him with said man.

This man was Wade Fields, a son of Demeter (sorry Demeter kids) and a total asshole. Wade had somehow got together with Annabeth and impregnated her.

Flashback

"What?," Percy said dumbfounded. Annabeth had just told him that she was cheating on her with Wade. Annabeth stood in front of him, Wade standing by her side while holding her hand.

"Thats not all Percy...," she trailed off.

"She's pregnant. With my kid," said Wade bluntly. Percy stood there shocked. Percy didn't say anything. He looked straight at her with a look of betrayal on his face. He stood the looking at Annabeth.

"Percy...please say something," Annabeth pleaded as she looked down. She didn't want her to ruin this friendship she had with Percy, but she knew she did. She looked at Percy and was shocked.

Percy Jackson, the two time saviour of Olympus had tears streaming down his face. Wade scoffed and threw his arm around Annabeth's shoulders.

"Percy-," Annabeth started. He sniffed while wiping his eyes and gave a laugh. The laugh seemed empty, no happiness.

"It's fine Annabeth. Really. As long as your happy, that's all that matters. Just please give me some time," he said emotionlessly while waving her off.

Percy walked off leaving the couple with mixed emotions. He walked to the beach and heard talking coming from behind a large sand dune.

"I can't keep this from Percy, guys. When he finds out Annabeth is pregnant and that we knew all this time, he's gonna be pissed, " said a voice that sounded like Leo.

"We have to keep it. We don't have to tell him that we knew," said a voice like Jason's.

"I'm out. I'm going to tell him. I still like Percy and I'm not keeping secrets from him. I'm not going to hurt him by keeping secrets from him. That's not what you do to a person you love!"

"Nico we can't. Your feelings are getting in the way of our friendship."

"Friendship is built on trust and honesty. Not lies and secrecy!," yell a voice like Reyna's.

"We still can't tell him!"

"And why is that Jason? Annabeth cheated on him! He has the right to know," Nico said. Percy got closer to look at the scene. The rest of the Seven as well as Nico, Thalia and Reyna were there.

Nico, Reyna, Frank, Hazel and Leo stood on one side while Piper,Jason and Thalia stood on the other side.

Percy came into view of the other demigods. They looked shocked and Nico looked a bit flustered.

"You knew?" Percy asked, directing it to Jason. "And you wanted to keep it from me?"

"Bro it's not-"

"Don't sweat it. She already told me," Percy said. An angry fire lit in his eyes. "I'm going to my cabin. Don't disturb."

Percy stalked off before they could say anything. They let him be. Percy made his way to his cabin and went inside, slamming the door in the process. He let out all that he emotions he held up.

IT WAS TOO MUCH

These people hurt him. He wanted to get away but he had to protect camp.

Do something for yourself. You have to put yourself first, sometimes his father spoke to him in his mind. Go to the land beyond us Gods and blow off steam. Come back when your ready...Good luck son.

Percy, actually listening for once, listened to the advice. He got out a backpack and packed everything he needed. He didn't go to dinner that night. Once everyone was asleep, he put his plan into action

Flashback Over

Percy was now 3 miles away from Camp. He slowed his run to a jog, breathing heavily. He sat under a tree and looked up at the sky, Zoe's constellation shining brightly. He took deep breathes, still looking at her constellation.

When he got his breathing under controll, something fell from the sky and landed on the road. It gleamed in the moonlight, a silvery glow surrounding it. His curiosity got the best of him and he went to investigate.

Laying on the road was a silver compass on a chain, gold cursive letters, Z.N., glittered on the outer shell. On the chain was a small card which read:

Heartbreak is a bitch. Hope this helps, as it will block your scent. Go to Alaska and be free. I know how boys like their freedom.

-Zoe Nightshade

Percy looked up at the sky and looked at her constellation. He thanked Zoe as a tear slipped down his cheek. He felt mixed emotions. He grabbed the compass by the chain and put it on like a necklace. He let out a loud taxi cab whistle, calling for his pegasus, Blackjack.

In the dark night, Blackjack's wings shone beautifully in the moonlight. He landed a metre away from Percy and strode up to the demigod.

What is it boss? Blackjack queried.

"I need you to take me to Alaska as fast as you can," Percy told the winged animal.

Sure boss. Can we get donuts after?

Percy chuckled and nodded while climbing on the pegasus. Blackjack neighed happily and took off into the sky. The cold wind bit at Percy's skin, a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. He clenched the compass in his hand and let out a sound of freedom and enjoyment.

Blackjack and Percy made their way to the land beyond the gods, having occasional talks about which donut is better and Blackjack asked Percy about his childhood hobbies and it was like.

"When I was around 7 years old I asked my mom if I could go for figure skating lessons. She, of course being the amazing woman she is, agreed. I loved skating but when Gabe came 'round I couldn't do it anymore. It was hard cause it was a way to release my troubles. It's been a while since I've been on the ice. About 8 years since I've been."

Well that was depressing...

"Yeah sorry about that," Percy said through a laugh.

I'm pretty sure Alaska has ice rinks,boss. You can start again. Maybe be a competitor.

Percy smiled, thinking about being on the ice again. And being in a competition.

"Yeah. It'll be nice," Percy said through a yawn.

Go ahead, boss. Promise I won't drop you. We'll be over the borders by day break.

"Thanks Blackjack," said Percy as he dozed off on the winged creature, an old fire ignited.
