DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON
CHAPTER 1
PERCY POV
"I didn't do it" Percy spoke with desperation in his voice. "Why would I kill Triton? He's my half brother. Why would you think that?"
Zues looked at the Son of Poseidon. "We have evidence. A sword, the only weapon able to kill an immortal was found in your cabin. You stole it from Olympus. This is an unforgivable crime, Perseus. For this betrayal, you shall be banished to tararus."
Percy looked around the room, at all of the faces he had trusted through out many life or death experiences. They were all expressionless, except for Annabeth, whose features where marred by anger.
I betrayed them? Percy thought. The god of the skies spoke again. "Since we are fair, we will hold a vote for your banishment. Out of the gods, who says Percy is guilty?"
Dionysus, Ares, Athena, Hera, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Zues all raised their hands. Percy was not surprised, except for maybe Heaphaestus, Percy had saved one of his forges for him a couple years back. "And the demigods?"
Many hands rose, some even that belonged to people Percy didn't know. His eyes settled on Annabeth, his heart dropping. She looked at him, with hate smoldering in her eyes, making them black. She slowly raised her hand, high.
No. She wouldn't. I'm not guilty. It felt like his heart was being ripped apart, he could practicly feel Annabeth walking all over it. He looked over, Nico and Thalia were glaring at Annabeth as though they wanted to rip her head off.
Zues looked at Percy. "Ares will escourt you to tatarues. Any last words?"
The demigod in question stared all the gods who voted for his exile in the eye. Then his gaze shifted to Annabeth. "You will regret this, when you remember my fatal flaw. When you realize you were wrong. I will return, just you wait"
Ares stepped forward, and in a flash, Percy was gone.

ANNABETHS POV
One year after Percy's exile
Annabeth walked into her empty cabin, tired after training all day. She glanced around the room, and her eyes rested on an Iris message. Of Percy. In tartarus. She stared, unable to tear her eyes away from the scene playing before her:
Percy was chained to a wall, Kronus and the rest of his army before him. Kronus laughed, and snapped his fingers. A tank filled with water was placed before Percy. Percy can breathe underwater, this isn't torture, Annabeth thought. Percy glared at it, but she knew he was terrified. The Lord of Time pushed Percy forward, dunking his head into the tank. 5 seconds passed. 20 seconds past. Finely Kronos jerked Percy upward by his hair. He was coughing up water, and even some blood. His body shuddered, his eyes fluttered. Percy's powers didn't work in hell. He deserves this, Annabeth though, before slashing her hand through the mist.
2 years after Percy's exile
Annabeth walked into the dinning hall, and sat down at the Athena table. She glanced around the hall, and was startled to see Thalia, who was a hunter, at Zues's table. Annabeth got up, and walked over to her. "Thalia, I haven't seen you in two years. Not that I'm unhappy you finally visited, but why are you here?"
Thalia looked at her, eyes cold. "I got kicked out of the hunters." This was news to Annabeth. "Why?" A flash of pain covered Thalia's face, but only for a second. "I visited someone to often. Artemis didn't want to, but I broke my oath. I fell in love" It was clear she didn't want to talk about it, so Annabeth didn't ask who she had fallen in love with. "Annabeth," Thalia said. Her voice was angry, no, furious. The tone scared her. She had never heard it before. "My fatal flaw is power, Nico's is holding grudges. Yours is pride." Annabeth nodded, waiting for Thalia to get to the point. But she got up, and started to walk away."Thalia," Annabeth said. "Is that all you wanted to tell me? I already knew that." The look on Thalia's face was terrible. Riddled with pain, and betrayal. The words that she spoke sent shivers down Annabeth's spine.
"Percy's fatal flaw was loyalty."
3 Years after Percy's exile
Annabeth pulled her jacket around her, It was cold on Olympus. Apparently, the gods had a very important announcements, and only a few were here to listen to it. Thalia stood next to her, Nico on the other side. Grover was here to, he had just walked through the doors. Zues flashed in, a grim expression on his face. "For the past three years, the gods have been carefully looking into Percy's past in our free time. We studied his thoughts and actions, and it has been made clear to us, that we were indeed wrong to banish Percy. It was Kronos who killed Triton, knowing that percy would be sent to tartarus. He wanted to get his revenge on Percy."
Annabeth was shocked. Percy was Innocent? He was coming back? She stared at Thalia and watched as a single tear trickled down her cheek. Grover broke the silence. "When is he coming back?" That was a good question. She needed to apologize. "In an hour. Be there to greet him, all 12 Olympians will be there to see him."
_1 hour later_
Grover, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia sat at the arena, waiting for the return of Percy. Mrs. O' Larry lay on the dusty ground next to them, her head resting on her paws. Suddenly, her head jerked up. She narrowed her eyes, and took a suspicious sniff. Then, barking madly, she raced a way, stumbling over her excitement. Groved gave a small smile. " She only acts like that when she greets-" His eyes got wide. He bleated in excitement. Annabeth looked over at Thalia and saw her eyes brimming with tears. Thalia never cried. "PERCYYYY" Grover yelled and then trotted away, closely followed by the rest.
They got to the top of the hill, and saw Mrs. O' Larry bounding around someone, someone with raven black hair, and sea green eyes. "Whoa, girl. It's okay, I'm really here. Yeah, yeah, I missed you too." Percy looked up, and smiled when he saw his friends. Annabeth looked at him. His eyes were darker, all the mirth that was there before was now gone. He had a scar too, beginning at his jaw, and ending at his collerbone. Somehow, it just made him more attractive. His arm was bandaged, and wore a navy blue long sleever, with jeans.
Grover and Nico were grinning, and Percy came over and slapped each of them on the back, greeting them each. "Grover! Long time, no see!" Grover gave him a man hug. "Good to have you back, man." Nico shoved Grover out of the way so he could reunite with his cousin. They looked at each other for a minute, some kind of message passing between them. Percy's eyes grew darker, and he whispered to Nice his thanks. What for, Annabeth wasn't sure.
Thalia was next in line. She lept on to him, crushing him with a bear hug. Percy buried his head in her sholder and murmured something to her. Thalia smiled, and kissed his cheek. Annabeth felt a spark of jealousness in her. She waited for percy to turn to her, greet her, and maybe if she was lucky kiss her. But he turned away, and walked twords the gods who had appeared behind them. "Percy," she called.
He turned and looked at her. "What do you want?" His words were a freezing knife, cutting into her heart. He glared at her, and when she didn't say anything, started to walk back to the gods. Annabeth was confused. Why didn't he greet her? He loved her. She looked to Thalia for answers, but Thalia glared at her, and turned her attention to Percy. He was ticking them off as usual.
Percy smiled at his father, and then continued to walk, passing the gods. Zues turned on him, and thundered. "Perseus Jackson, Welcome back." Percy kept walking. What was he doing? Zues frowned and tried again. "Kneel before the gods, boy." Percy slowly turned around, his eyes were burning with pain, and hate. "NO."
