SO hey everbody! For those who read my original first few chapters, you are probably aware that I might have screwed them up. So I decided to redo them. Tell me if they're better!
Chapter 1 : (the remake)Percy gets cheated on(meh, dumped didn't feel right)
Percy's POV
2.12 a.m. in the morning
'Ah! Life is great!' I thought as I packed to leave camp. 'At least it was for the last few months, until Ricky came along.' You see Ricky was a son of Apollo, but not your average son of Apollo. He was the first in millennia to be born with the gift of light. As in, he could shoot energy bolts at people, Apollo came and gave him a quest to kill Stheno and Eurayle, the two gorgon sisters of Medusa, and when he returned, he was like the big hero, no more 'Percy Jackson: Legendary Champion and Savior of Olympus', now it was all 'Ricky Johnson: the guy who killed two gorgons'. I don't even know how it could compare! He killed two Gorgons in his first year here, even though he came in late, as in he is my age-17, and he killed two Gorgons in his first year, I came in at 12, killed Medusa, the only Gorgon that can turn people to stone, killed the minotaur, faced the Chimera and his mom, went to the underworld, defeated Ares, god of war, retrieved Zeus's master bolt and Hades' Helm of darkness and revealed the return of Kronos IN MY FIRST YEAR! Really! HOW THE !#$ DOES THAT COMPARE? At least Annabeth still loves me and is honest with me right? WRONG!
Flashback
It was late in the evening and I was walking towards the beach, my favorite place in camp, to go for a swim, with me I carried a towel, Riptide (because I had no pockets in my sports pants) and my goggles. Then I tripped on a rock and my things flew into the bushes, crap. I walked over to look for my stuff. Ah there's my towel… …. … Oh! There my goggles are!...HEY why do I need goggles anyway? I'm a son of Poseidon! 'in case you swim out of the borders by accident and the mortals see you' Annabeth's words echoed in my head. Any way… where did that pen roll off to? No, not in the bushes…not by this tree, which by the way has a very peculiar making-out sound coming from the other side of it which I really preferred not to go check out. Ah! There it is! Riptide was right next to a rock opposite to the tree and in the middle of some bushes. I walked over and picked it up and looked for a way out of the bushes when I heard the couple from the other side of the tree, who by the way now were in my line of sight, break apart. Hey that girl looks just like…
"Oh Annabeth! You are really amazing!" the guy said.
Annabeth?No… No! It couldn't be! She wouldn't cheat on me! She didn't love anyone but me! She said it herself! Who could have made her think of doing this? No one! NO ONE! Except maybe….
"Oh you are such a flirt Ricky!" she giggled.
"Shh…" he said putting a finger over her lips. "We don't want Percy to hear us."
Well, at least he isn't an idiot, My cabin was what? Three metres above them on the hill?
"Who cares about Percy? It's just you and me tonight love…"she whispered.
I was tempted to spring Riptide on them but something was telling me to wait. To try a more subtle way of exposing them. But what? I looked around the beach, and as if on cue, I saw a beach chair, a small beach table and on it… a full glass of blue coral soda? It was as if the whole thing was there specifically just for me to pull off something to expose them. I crept over slowly as they locked lips again, sure that they would see me, but it was like the mist(the small droplets of water in the air, not the mystical shroud that separates mortals from the mythological world) was helping me to sneak over without being noticed. I placed my towel like a pillow onto the chair, placed my goggles gently on the table, and quietly sat on the chair and told myself to calm down, my anger might betray my presence earlier than planned if I don't stay calm. I took a sip from the soda and it seemed to be formulated just so it could calm me down, very, very strange. Anyways, let's see what excuses they can make.
"Can you two quiet down?" I asked, half scaring them to death. Score, Percy-one, Couple – Zero. "One really tired son of a Sea god has been trying to relax on the beach for the last half hour…"I lied, but hey! They deserved this!
"P-Percy?" Annabeth asked in almost a whimper.
"Know any other sons of Poseidon?" I asked sarcastically.
"Hey dude we can totally ex-" Ricky started but Annabeth cut him off. "Percy! It's not what you think! This is-is…"
"Oh! Nothing… just my Girlfriend whom I declined GODHOOD for making out with a new kid behind my back just three metres from my cabin. Nothing to be angry or annoyed about." I stated. Dang! I was really good at this You-know-what-I-don't-care act.
"Percy? Aren't you angry or anything?" Ricky asked.
"No, I'm perfectly fine." I said in a sarcastic yet obviously angry but somehow light voice as I got up and started back for my cabin. "But just know this Annabeth, WE ARE THROUGH!"I ended with a shout, just for the effect.
As I walked back I heard Annabeth break down and start crying and Ricky trying to comfort her and say that it was his fault. I felt my eyes getting watery, I was heartbroken and angry. I knew I had to find some time to clear my mind. Preferably somewhere out of camp.
End of flashback
I was almost done packing. Now all I need to get is some Drachmas. I turned for my cupboard and saw Nico there. "Um…Nico? Why are you here?" I asked. He hesitated, then he said "Drew dumped me Perce. Then I wanted to tell you I was leaving camp, but It seems so are you, so I was wondering…if maybe…"
"We could go together?" I finished for him. He nodded. "Then let's go." I said as I slung my bag over my shoulders and walked out of my cabin.
We walked down the Hill together and finally Nico broke the silence. "Do you think We'll ever be back?" He asked me. He sounded spiteful, yet hopeful at the same time.
"This Nico, is a trip… we will be back!" I said. " I hope…." The last part a murmur.
Storm's(? didn't suit it now that you know who it is…) POV
" They're leaving the camp dude…" my partner said to me.
"Yes they are Scorch… the final two chosen Guardians of the balance of the Universe…" I said, " Perseus Orion Jackson… son of Poseidon, chosen warrior of T'Korra, beast of water , Hydra, Leviathan and Krakken combined and chosen guardian of Water…Nico Di Angelo…son of Hades, chosen warrior of La'Ura, Hellhound of infinity and soul reaper of darkness and chosen guardian of Soul…we should go get them…"I said "But first things first…Hey! Tempest! Exodus! You guys wanna go grab a burger or something?"
" Of course Stormwe've been hungry for the last three hours!" Tempest shouted back.
" Let's go then! And after that… we have to recruit those two into the Legion of Demigods."
