Summary: They betrayed me for another Son of Poseidon, but I don't care, not as much as I used to anyways. There are others now, and I know with a fact that they won't betray me, unless I am the one that betrays them first. How do I know? Simple, they swore on the river Styx. My name is Perseus Jackson, but I prefer to be called Persona.

Everything was falling apart, at least that's what I once thought. I sat down in the white sand and looked out towards the beautiful deep blue ocean, with the salty ocean breeze washing through me. I closed my eyes, it's been years since I was in Camp Half-Blood. All I wanted to do was rest and inprint this sight in my mind for all eternity, but that horrible day came back to me.
Past
I ran as fast as my two feets could carry me, Annabeth was back! She was finally back from retrieving my unknown half brother. I was happy to get another brother, but I felt my stomach churned at the thought of dad with another woman besides mom. I was so lost in thought that I nearly ran into Grover, but stopped myself in the nick of time, "Hey G-Man. Where's Annabeth and my new brother?" I asked him, excitedly.
Grover had a smile on his face, but then it subsided when I mentioned Annabeth and the still unknown brother. His lips were quivering, hands shaking, and his eyes were looking towards different locations. Immediately the worst crossed my mind, "Grover what's wrong man? Did something happened to them? Is Annabeth alright?" My panicked voice soon turned to an all out yell.
He shook his head, "No man, it just... Maybe you shouldn't see them..." He trailed off.
To say I was confused was an understatement, in fact there was no words to how I felt when he said that. So I said the only thing I could think of, "Wha?" Was my smart reply.
Before he could say anymore I tuned him out because right there, in the forest was the shadow of Annabeth with an unknown person. She was clinging to him and then they turned to an angle that I could see more clearly. She was kissing a boy with dark brown hair, deep blue eyes, and tan skin. He was probably around my age, and slightly taller than me. Everything turned red. The feeling of betrayal, hurt, anger, and sadness filled me, before I knew it I was standing in front of said boy who was currently on the ground, sporting a bruise on his left cheek. Annabeth cried out in shock and kneeled down to the guy. She was cradling him in her arms, while a group was already crowding around us.
After that it was hell. My mom was killed in a car crash with Paul, everyone ignored me except for Grover, Thalia, and Nico who were always busy and moving about. Grover because he need to go and scout out for more demi-gods, Thalia needs to move with the Hunters, and Nico always disappears to somwhere. I had no comfort, oh and guess what? That dude that was making out with Annabeth was my new brother, Kevin. I eventually gave up and left Camp Half-Blood. The only good thing was, is that dad didn't choose between Kevin and me.
It was a few days when I left the camp. It was then that I met my new found friends, allies, and a true leader. Those who even swore on the River Styx to never betray me, as long as I didn't betray them first. We are known as the Paradox, because no one can really knows if we're real or not for we do things that goes against common beliefs, sense, and knowledge even for demi-gods.
Present
I opened my eyes and stood up. After dusting off some sand that clung to my black pants, I felt something being thrown at me. Almost immediately I caught the... Green apple? I turned to the direction, said apple came from, and saw Jester. As usual he has that wide creepy grin that strerches across his face, and like me he too wore a masquerade mask thats the color of deep, dark, mysterious purple. His skin was as pale as a corpse, sharp pointy teeth, long wavy black hair that reaches his shoulder blades, and he wore a skin tight jester clothes with black and the same purple color as his mask. The clothes showed all his muscle, abbs, and so on.
"Can't start a good day without an apple." He commented in his deep taunting tone.
To anyone else they would probably be scared, but to me he's one of the people who are loyal to me and never betray me. The back of a cane slammed into his head, causing his to double over, and clutching his head. Hey, that hit was really hard especially if it was coming from Mad Hatter, who was actually the person that delivered the attack, "That was fun, don't you agree Banshee."He said in a slightly insane voice as he turned to another person, this time a female.
Mad Hatter has slightly tan skin, dirty blond hair, a masquerade mask that's the color of bloody crimson red. The clothes he wore was a red trench coat, black slacks, white button up, red boots with black laces, a ink black cane in one hand with a crystal skull at the top, and to add to that he wore a red tall hat. Yup, completely normal. His build was tall, slim, and strong with sharp canines, but the rest of his teeth was flat and even.
Finally Banshee, was the only one that was still quiet. She has porcelain skin, the darkest black hair you'll ever see, and a masquerade mask that's the color of pure snow. She wore a black priestess celtic dress with the hood. The dress itself looked torned and worned, giving her a much more scarier appearance, like death truly was there to come and send you to the afterlife, and she was barefoot since she wanted to feel the sand. On her shoulder was an australian raven, and wrapped around her neck was a vipera ammondytes snake. She turned to Hatter, and remained quiet.
You must be wondering, why we are all wearing masquerade masks. Simple, another one of our friend has a big amount of interest in them so she forced them on us, and well we kinda got used to them so now we almost always wear them on a daily basis. Yup, even I am wearing one too. A deep ocean green one, and also I wore a black tight shirt.
"Persona, it's time to go and introduce ourselves." Banshee's void-like voice whispered out.
I shook my head, "Man, Camp Half-Blood really loosen up it's security. I mean all I did was walk in and nothing happened." I commented, but not a hint of malice was in my voice.
Now tell me what you guys think. Is it good, bad, or horrible? Please tell me! Oh, and no it's not a Chaos story, though it's pretty close, but not it. Please review it makes me happy, and I'll update as quickly as I can. Luckly the Winter Break is coming so I'll update a lot during it... Maybe, if I'm not busy cause I need to start reading and finishing my report, that I haven't even started yet.
