Chapter 1.
3rd Person POV
A boy ran through the forest, desperately trying to get away from the place that used to be his home. Camp Half-Blood. Percy winced just thinking about it. Everyone had replaced him that for that jerk Riley, Son of Poseidon. From the moment Riley entered camp being chased by a hellhound, Percy could see his aloof expression on his face. Percy felt uneasy, like the new boy would just bring him bad luck. However, Percy shook off the feeling, saying to himself that he was just being paranoid after the Giant War. How wrong he was.
Percy's POV
Flashback-
As I walked through the camp towards the beach, I thought about how all my friends at camp had suddenly stopped talking to me and started hanging out with the new kid, my half-brother Riley. It was confusing, every time I'd try to take to talk to one of them, my friends would turn away muttering something about how I was just trying to make up with them now that they'd found out. I swear I don't know what they are taking about. Even the gods began acting more distant then ever, save my Aunt Hestia, my Father Poseidon and my Uncle Hades. But the peculiar thing was it was only around me. They were perfectly fine around their kids but around me the gods were strangely distant. Anyway...
I'd invited Annabeth to the beach yesterday. I was so excited that I broke into a jog. Today will be the day, today is the day when I will propose to my Annabeth, my Wise Girl. When I got there, I saw a couple making out. I was close enough to hear their conversation.
"Oh Annabeth, you sure know how to give a guy a good time".
I gasped. I recognised that voice. That voice was the voice of my half-brother, Riley. Riley. Riley and Annabeth. I was still trying to comprehend it. Eventually I got my head around it. My shock went away and was replaced with anger. Sheer, uncontrollable anger. Anger you only get when your life has been ripped to shreds. The waves started getting bigger and bigger until the couple on the sand noticed it. They looked around for the source and eventually spotted me.
"Why are you doing this Percy?" Annabeth shouted over the wind. I replied with barely restrained anger. "You are cheating on me with my own half-brother, how could you do this to me!" I willed the waves to rise into one huge wave and then I sent it crashing into them.
My final goodbye to the girl who stole my heart.
While running to my cabin, I quickly composed a note in my head for the ones who didn't betray me. Clarisse, Thalia, Nico and Chiron. I told them that Annabeth had cheated on me with Riley and I was going away because there was nothing here for me anymore. I didn't tell them where I was going because i didn't want them to come looking for me. They already knew about my "friends" excluding me so I didn't bother with that. I left Thalia a note for the gods since I knew she was going to the winter solstice with the rest of the Hunters of Artemis. I told her in my note to her not to open it and/or read it. This was my message to them.
To the gods of Olympus,
I have finally cracked. I have just found out that my girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena has been cheating on me with my own half brother but she is not the only one to blame. You gods to have been blatantly ignoring me since after the Second Giant War. I did and still do wonder why. I bet you are wondering why I was bothered to write this letter when you all betrayed me apart from a select few, who I thank. The reason is that I just wanted to let you know that in the next war, because yes there will be another war, your Hero of Olympus will not be there for you.
Percy
