Hi guys, this is my first story so constructive criticism us nice. Tell me what you think, this is a very different story than usual chaos ones. I originally decided to write it because I wanted to have play out in a certain way and I couldn't find many stories that have a similar plot idea. Make sure to review! Thanks

Prologue

Everything was great in Percy`s life. He just won the second giant war and everything and one was at peace, there were barely any attacks from monsters who now hide in attempts of getting a "bye" from Zeus, but the hunters are already hunting them by now. There had been non stop celebrating, Zeus even, grudgingly agreed, that Hestia and Hades should be on the Olympian Council and so they were admitted for all the help in the war. Feeling guilty, he finally fulfilled his promise to Calypso and freed her from her home island and prison. He was happy with Annabeth, no ecstatic and her couldn`t imagine a day without her. There was peace between both camps who decided to stay in place but still remain friendly visiting each other is quite frequent these days. With peace between both camps the ruling system remained quite the same, except there was a third preator who was incharge of both camps and had to have stayed at least one years and was chosen by the gods themselves, Percy being the savior was already a leader so most of the responsibilities fell on him. He loved hanging out at different camps and it was easy considering the gods provided a portal between camps. He felt at peace, like the fates were done playing with him.

Little did he know the fates were no longer in charge of his fate.

Chapter 1:

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Everywhere was in flames, the pavilion to the cabins was covered in flames that licked the air, causing it to shimmer in the sunlight. Despite everyone's best efforts, or anyone left alive that is, they fire was impossible to put out, and tore through the entire camp. Burning down the forests, the cabins, amphitheater, and even the big house. The once beautiful strawberry fields which had shone in the sun, raised to perfection by the satyrs and nymphs, were all but blackened. The strawberries, a ruby red in color, now resembled charcoal which lay on the blackened ground. Everything that was burnable, burned until there was nothing left of the only place demigods could call their sanctuary. The heat from the fire had burned so hot that the once grand lake evaporated into a crater, which had already begun to collect the red liquids that ran across the fields, down the land and into it. Among the deceased was a young man who had originally been the first to yell out the danger. He had raven black hair that now was burnt at the edges, and his once vibrant green eyes were closed forever. Despite trying to reach the threat in time, it detonated and once the blast hit him, he had become paralysed by an unknown force. His watched as his entire life burned before his eyes, everything was on fire, the air itself seemed to rip apart and began boiling the blood of people, burning at a steady four hundred and fifty degrees. At last, when everything seemed to be destroyed except for him, his time had at last come. The fire, which seemed to have a mind of its own, turned toward the young man, and drew closer until the man was screaming in agony as the flames scorched his skin, slow and painfully. His very blood seemed to boil as the heat had some how increased until there was nothing but pain in his mind. At last, as if a switch was turned off, the screaming stopped, the fire disappeared from everywhere until it was only a thin circle around the man. Everything was quiet, not one noise was made as the hero of Olympus took his last dying breath before dropping to the ground, dead.

A young women gasped as she saw this, although she had not felt the fire or the pain of death, she cried out when she was the man fall. Tears threatened to spill as she watched, hoping to see a rise and fall from his chest, any movement that would allow her to assume he was still alive. It was in vain though, she did not see any such movement. The only movement came from someone who materialized behind her, right out of thin air, whispering into her ear, "They will burn."

Flashback:

A new camper arrived in the beginning of May named Eric Thalman, who was soon after claimed as a son of Ares, who after hearing the many deeds Percy had done, made it his goal to tear Percy`s reputation down. Eric was idiotic, self centered, egotistical, but above all arrogant. He has the crazy idea that he was the best person in the world, even though many could beat him in a fight he was still sufficiently good.

He started with jokes and insults with the occasional snide comment but Percy just shrugged it off, Eric realized if he wanted to tear down Percy`s reputation he had to try harder. He soon set to pulling pranks, then blaming them on Percy. Making it seem as if Percy had done it. He put poison in the flower garden of the Demeter and Ceres cabin(some romans wanted to have a cabin full of siblings)and sure enough Percy was blamed for it, walking in at just the right time for Chiron to accuse him. Then it was the Hunters`s cabin that had a huge picture of male supermodels with the words 'I love you!' All over, making it seem as if Percy was the one who did it because he was always up to these kind of things now a days. Everyone soon began to hate Percy and distrust him, they soon liked Eric more and almost thought him as a leader instead of Percy. Everyone started to think that Percy had gone "rogue" and disgraced of title of Hero of Olympus and Bane of Gaea, that he didnt deserve any respect. Percy just had his close friends on his side now.

Percy's P.O.V.

Grover was never around, what with being the king of the wild and all his duties, he was too busy for me, even though I desperately needed him but I didn't want Grover to worry about me. Nico and Thalia were always away from camp and didn't seem to notice how wrong everything went. As for Annabeth, she patiently stood by I was ruthlessly mocked and spit on daily. Then I lost whatever friendship I had with jason when a rumor spread about how I defeated him in the fields of Kansas when there was no water, which brought away Leo and Piper as well. Then it was Frank and Hazel when the secret about her past got out, with only me who knew it wasn't hard to know I was the one.

Not to mention Annabeth had been looking at me oddly the past week with a pained expression, but whenever I asked what was wrong or what she was thinking of, she always shrugged it off. She was the only one I had left and didn't was to loose her, but I kept seeing less of her and one day in August she told me to meet her on the hill that overlooked the ocean at sunset. I agreed and went off to lunch, then to go to the practice arena alone. No one wanted to be near me anymore, much less fight me and I now over these past few weeks I was starting to feel lonely. I had long training session everyday, with rigorous duties and such, I just wasn't having any fun here. The excitement seemed to die after the war and left me all too lonely, especially when you were the least liked person in camp.

After dinner, I went to go meet Annabeth at the hill, as I approached I saw couple and smiled. At least they're happy, but as I got closer I saw a all familiar dirty blonde curls. With a startling realization I realized it was Annabeth with Eric. She was laughing, like she was having the time of her life, and the thing that hurt the most was that I had never been the subject to make her this happy. I tried to not to jump to conclusions, maybe Annabeth was just trying to have Eric say sorry for being so mean to me, it definitely sounds like her. As I got closer I was crushed with what I saw.

Annabeth was laughing even louder and reached up to Eric and wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his, leaning back and opening her mouth to deepen the kiss. My heart started to crack into a million pieces, but I tried to hold it together as I continued toward them. I wanted to know why she was here, with him, together. I stopped a few feet away from them before saying.

"Annabeth, can we talk?" I said quietly as she noticed my approach she nodded and smiled at Eric saying.

"I`ll be right back," she then turned and walked down the hill until we where out of hearing distance. I tried to took into her eyes but she didn't meet mine, and when she did I could see plainly that she had meant for me too see how happy she was with Eric, she seemed almost to be gloating. At that point I knew our relationship was over.

"Please" I begged, not knowing what to say.

"I don`t love you Percy." She said loftily, as if she couldn't see me breaking. She saw that I needed more to go on than just that. I couldn't fathom why she was doing this, after everything we had encountered. She continued in a disinterested tone,"I never really even like you that much and I knew I would never. I was wise enough to see that from the beginning, but I knew you were the prophecy boy so I befriended you. It wasn't that hard either, you needed friends and I was the only one offering. I have a big plan Percy, and you're just one of my pawns. Don`t you understand that to be remembered you have to make a name for yourself? In order to do that, I used you. It wasn't even hard, I had you feeding out of my palm. It was easy from the start."

She wasn't doing this, I don't know what caused her to say all these things but she needed to stop. I knew she wasn't this person, hell I've known her since we were twelve. I knew she was too kind to do anything like this, to anyone, no matter how much she hated them. Shocked I just stared and shook my head, as I heard myself saying, " You don`t mean that Annabeth, I know you. This isn't who you are, you…"

" How do you know who I am," Annabeth said sharply as she cut in. "You don't even know the true me. I let you think you did. It made it easier for you to trust me. You never fit into the grand scheme of things for me, your disposable Percy. Get that through your thick head.

Stunned I knew, no hoped Annabeth was lying, I knew she would never act this way to anyone… she was a good person and…. I felt frozen on the outside while it felt like there was a hot rod poked at my heart. I couldn't process anything, it was like everything was echoing and I felt numb, so numb. It was like nothing I've ever felt before.

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Once I said that I knew it was only a bit more I needed to say to him, to send him away forever. I didn't what to. My heart was shattering as I said these lies, I felt like I was dying on the inside. Every particle in me was screaming in protest, saying that I couldn't live without him. I knew they were right deep down, but I had to. It would save lives and most importantly, save his.

Percy`s P.O.V.

"You were never going to tell me, you were just going to break up with me?" I exclaimed with pain clearly shone in my voice. " Just written me off, thrown me away like a stale piece of food."

"Can you blame me?" Said Annabeth icily, "I needed a stepping stool to become great, and by dating the most famous heroes I will. You're old news, no one even likes you any more. I will not be dragged down with you and your reputation. Eric will become a great hero, forever, so thats why I'm dumping him for you, idiot."

I had to convince her, that she wasn't being rational, that she was wrong, something to keep her. I knew she loved me, it was the only permanent thing in my life. " I don't believe you, you're not this cruel person and I know you love me, I can see it in your eyes every day" I said.

"Gods, Percy you're acting as if you the only person fit for me. That your the best thing that ever happened to me. News flash, you're just one person. Even your mom doesn't seem to want you around. She sent you to private school your whole life, probably because she was ashamed of you." said Annabeth with a frustrating tone. "You've made an image of what I wanted you to see in me. We're done, what ever we had is done Percy and that's it."

"Please Annabeth," I begged. I couldn't lose her, she was all I had left, she was any happiness I could find these days. I got down on my knees, and looked up to her. If this is what it`ll take to get her back it is worth it.

" Don`t beg Percy, it's pathetic" she said coldly. "I`ve used you, it's over now."

"I don`t mind being used though Annabeth, don`t you understand?"

"No Percy, I`m your done with you and your childish behavior, who would want to be with someone like that?" Said Annabeth,"you're no different from when I first met you. Childish and stupid. Only now, your useless as well"

I suddenly felt angry, it came all of a sudden. I would not lose Annabeth, if there's one thing I'm determined to do is that I won't screw up when it comes to our relationship. I have tried for the better part of my life to become best friends with her, and I wasn't going to lose her over this stupid misunderstanding. All of my frustration was coming out, all of it from the last two months were all building up and I couldn't take it. All the grief and pain I had felt came and I wouldn't leave this conversation until I had a decent answer. "I've changed Annabeth. Don`t you see." I said angrily, "I've changed so you'd fall for me, so that you would actually want to be with me. I've done every little one of your tests you've thrown at me and passed. I HAVE JUMPED INTO HELL FOR YOU. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!"

I could see her swallow, and I controlled my breathing. She had obviously planned it, and even if she didn't she clearly doesn't want to be with me. I felt numb, like I was frozen. The pain, I knew hadn`t set in yet, and the worst part is that everything she said made sense. With dead eyes I said, "I`m sorry for acting out and ruining your evening with Eric. I can now see clearly that any feelings I thought you had for me are gone. I`ll leave you be."

With that I met her gaze one more time as she nodded curtly. Taking in her grey eyes and beautiful blonde curls move in the wind with a sunset and ocean behind her. Turning I trudged down the hill where I entered my cabin and sat on my bed. The person I cared about the most didn`t even love me. As I came to this thought, bigger waves of pain, and hurt came rolling in. Like tsunamis and for once I thought I might drown in my own waves of grief.

Guess that's it. Remember to review!

Thanks
