"Perseus Achilles Jackson," Zeus thundered, "For the following crimes against the peace of the Greek and Roman heroes, you have been brought forth to the Olympian Council to be judged for treason. Your charges stand as follows."
The minor god of charges or lists appeared and began listing off my crimes.
My crimes. What did I do? I wonder that a lot.
It all started a week ago.
[Flashback]
"Percy," Annabeth breathed "You did this all for us?"
I nodded. Candles lit a path to the beach where roses scattered the ground in a heart shape. In the middle, there lay a not-so-dinner picnic, complete with chocolate covered strawberries. Courtesy of Piper and Aphrodite ('Anything for my couple of the century Percabeth!'), they were promised a secluded night at the beach, meaning no one and nothing could bother them. It was the perfect anniversary.
"Happy Anniversary wise girl" I kissed her. I got down on one knee. "Annabeth Elizabeth Chase, will you wear my promise ring?"
I watched as Annabeth teared up. Then suddenly, she slapped me in the face. "I thought you were going to ask me to marry you seaweed brain!"
"I promise I will, in the future. Your mom would sentence me to death by owls if I married her daughter before twenty-one."
"You're such a sea weed brain!" With that, I received a kiss, and we ran down to enjoy the picnic and the night sky. Finally, growing tired we lay down on the sand, hands together.
"I love you," I whispered, before hearing Annabeth fall asleep. Soon, I fell asleep under Zoe's constellation.
Early next morning, I woke up to the sound of two people making out. One very familiar voice rang out.
"Wow Jack, that was amazing."
"Annie, when are you going to let Percy know? He might just find out, I mean, he's sleeping right over there."
"You think he'll wake up? It's too early, my plans are flawless, remember?"
I heard more kissing. "Flawless?" I laughed as I walked towards the surprised couple. "I found out Annabeth." Jack was a relatively new Aphrodite legacy that had decided to come to camp after the portals between the Roman and Greek establishments were built. To say he was hot was an understatement. Jack was what every girl would go screaming after.
"Why did you do this to me? I gave you everything, Annabeth. I even fell into Tartarus for you! And instead, you go behind my back, making love to a different man. What about our promise rings? Huh?" My voice was rising to a shout.
"It isn't real Percy!" Annabeth cried out.
"It isn't real? How much more real can it get?" I screamed, not noticing the small groups of people that had gathered around us, awoken by the commotion. Grover, Juniper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Lou Ellen…
Annabeth fell down crying, and Piper ran to her side, comforting her. "Percy, what Annabeth said is right. This isn't real!"
"I GIVE UP. HERE, THIS RING MEANS NOTHING TO ME NOW." I threw the ring to the ground and stalked away.
From that day on, I ignored my ex-girlfriend. And so did everyone else minus Piper. Annabeth tumbled in shame, and soon she decided to leave camp. Make a living out on her own.
The day the devil left, I found a note on my pillow. It read:
'Dear Percy-
I didn't know how much seaweed was actually clouding your brain. Well, I guess I know now. Honestly, I'm just disappointed in you. You didn't believe that I wasn't cheating on you, no matter how much I explained it to you. I'm done now though, thank you for the horrid relationship.
Anyways, as you probably figured out by now, I'm leaving to live in the mortal world. The gods won't have an architect anymore- not that anyone would actually enjoy the work designed by me, the ex-girlfriend of the famous Percy Jackson, hero of Olympus. Except Piper, maybe.
I don't know what this means to you. But goodbye seaweed brain. And beware; your fall is coming soon too. I warned you.
Love & Hate,
Annabeth E. Chase'
It's a shame to admit that I didn't cry from that. Or be more careful. I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
The next day, Clarisse's cabin was turned blue (hair included), and weapons destroyed. The memorial for Leo in Bunker Nine destroyed (We assumed he died in the Giant War as a sacrifice to kill Gaea). The Stolls were pranked evilly, Demeter Cabin's flowers dead and somehow withered, a diary of how I supposedly planned to violate Artemis's hunters discovered… and all of them were blamed on me.
So here I was, tied up like a pig to a stake and kneeling in front of the Olympian council.
"The Olympian Council will now vote." I heard Zeus say. "All those in favor of removing Percy Jackson from existence?"
To my surprise, Hades, Hestia, Dionysius, Apollo, and Hera voted for my favor. I smiled in gratitude and saw Hestia giggle back.
"Thank you demigod for giving Hestia and me thrones on Olympus. And being there for Nico when he was alive." Hades commented, receiving looks from the other gods.
"Dad," I said.
"I'm sorry Percy. What comes around goes around." Poseidon sniffled, looking disappointed at me.
"You actually believe that bullshit?" I waited for my father to say something, but he remained silent. "Fine, if you don't trust your son, then I, Percy Jackson disown Poseidon, God of the Seas and Earth-shaker as father."
Thunder rumbled.
"That was a dangerous move demigod. In a vote of nine to five, Percy Jackson will now be… electrocuted. Any last words?"
"Yes." I swallowed down my fear for my death and tears. "Drama Queen and cast, Mark my words. When the Gods need me, there will be no heroes to come to your aid."
"ENOUGH!" Zeus yelled, and threw down his lightning bolt.
The last thing I saw was a bright white flash as I felt searing pain tear my body apart.
Percy Jackson was dead.
Hi Everyone! Please review; this is my first fanfiction. SMILE
