AN: Hey guys, Godlypowers12 here! If you read my Harry Potter story, I hope you enjoyed it. However, for this new story, I am writing a Percy Jackson fanfic. Average Percy gets betrayed. Not so average aftermath. No Chaos Army. No hunters of Artemis. Just, Zarcrix and the creators This is ORIGINAL (other than the betrayal, there are hundreds of them) Everything after betrayal is original. I can guarantee no one on the site has this idea. This is completely original other than the characters, which belong to Rick Riordan.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS OR HEROES OF OLYMPUS, I OWNLY OWN MY PLOT.

Enjoy reading! And this is the longest authors note I will write.

Chapter 1- Why?

Percy POV

I was sitting down, on the streets of New York, unbelieving at what just happened. My mind was churning with depressing thoughts. My head pounded as the rain plummeted from the sky, and thunder booms from above. Zeus was angry today.

Why did this happen to me?

*Flashback*

I was walking towards the beach. I was sweating like crazy, because I was about to propose to Annabeth.

As I got to the beach, I saw a blonde-haired girl kissing a dark -haired boy. Seconds later, I realised the blonde-haired girl was Annabeth. I drop the ring that I had worked so hard to get. Crying out, I create a tidal wave to wipe them out. They ended up soaking wet. I create an earthquake and destroy part of camp in my anger and depression.

It was all that idiot Craig's fault. He was a son of Zeus, who had come to camp a few days ago. He stole all my credit and claimed that he defeated Kronos. Everyone forgot about me. I only had my friends. But then he managed to turn them against me as well, and now, he had stolen my girlfriend. I ran away.

*End flashback*

So here I was, stuck on the side of the street, all alone.

To make matters worse, after I ran away I went straight to Mum and Paul's house.

*Flashback*

I ran through New York, tears flooding out of my eyes and down my cheeks, falling on the path below my feet.

After what seems like aeons of running, I see Mum and Paul's apartment up ahead. I dash into the lobby and into the elevator. I had to see them.

I knock on the door, and here nothing. I knock again, still nothing. A sickly feeling becomes apparent in my stomach, and I slowly draw riptide from my pocket, and uncap it. I test the door knob, unlocked. I creep into the kitchen and what I saw scared me for the rest of my life. Mum and Paul, lying lifeless on the floor, their bloods staining what once was spotlessly clean white tiles. Claw marks raked their bodies, and their eyes were empty.

I sat down and cried, cried for the good memories, on my adventures with Annabeth and Grover, cried for the good memories I had with Mum. This couldn't be happening, but it was. I dash out of the door, heart shattered, and the only thing on my mind revenge.

*End flashback*

Now here I was, sitting on a bench at a bus stop, and watching the people of New York go by, umbrella's up, all hurrying home. Home. Something I don't have. Slowly, I stand and start walking. My life had been ruined, and my hopes and dreams shattered.

Sighing, I pull out riptide and fiddle with it, waiting for something, something I didn't know I was waiting for.

Up on Olympus, the Gods were stirring uncomfortably. Poseidon was down in his palace under the ocean, moping about. Why? His favourite son was missing. The boy who retrieved Zeus's bolt, saved them countless times, was missing.

Even Zeus was uncomfortable. Even he knew that Jackson was needed, if any more wars were to arise. This was not good. Jackson missing was bad.

Hermes was angry. He wanted to know why Percy was missing. He flew down to the demigod camp looking for answers. He knew Percy wouldn't leave for no reason. He arrived just after the Artemis and the hunters did.

The camp was in turmoil. Thalia had found out the truth of why Percy had left, and she was raging.

"ANNABETH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" she yelled in anger. Annabeth flinched, and made no move to answer in fear of Thalia's wrath.

*SLAP*

Annabeth fell to the ground in shock, hand rubbing her red cheek. She turned and ran, unbelieving at what had just transpired between her and Thalia. Her oldest friend, had slapped her. Tears in her eyes, she ran into the Athena cabin and bawled her eyes out, finally realising what she had done.

Percy POV

Thud! Riptide cut through another tree. I was training, because I needed to. The monsters were always near, take last night for example.

*Flashback (Percy Pov)*

I sit down under a large tree in the middle of a park, resting against its roots. When they came. Around 1 am in the morning, 5 dracaenas, 3 hellhounds and around 20 predator wolves came from the sides of the park, all of them staring at me. I leap up pulling out riptide as I go. I lunge at one of the hellhounds, stabbing and slashing, leaping and diving until I found a breach in his defences. I plunge riptide into his neck, and he disintegrates into golden dust. I use my training and swirl around like a whirlwind, killing many of the wolves with my wild swinging of riptide. The dracaenas advanced on me, unsheathing knives. I lunge to the side of them, so I was in-between them and the remaining hellhounds. The hellhounds lunge at me, as do the dracaenas, I step aside at the last minute and they crash into each other, leaving one smart dracaena and 7 wolves left. The wolves bark unhappily and run off, tails between their legs, and I finish off the dracaena with a swipe of riptide. Lying down to rest, I sigh at how bad my life had become.

*end flashback*

I sit down to rest after a hard day of training and think to myself.

"Why?"

AN: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my story! Please leave a review on what you think of the story, and I will hopefully upload the next chapter as soon as I can. Just a warning, this story will probably be quite short, like 5 or so chapters, because it has been done so many times before. It will be finished though. I don't know if it will be longer, but it might. Thank you for reading chapter 1!
