Hello My awesome readers!

I have adopted this story from AnnabethGranger7121993, and I have renamed it. It's original name was 'Dangerous Powers' but I like the new title much better.

Since I technically own this now, I will be adding a few things here and there to the chapters that Annabeth-G didn't put in. So if you want to read the original story, check her's out!

BTW these symbols - - -o0o- - - mean a time skip.

That's all I have to say, currently...


Percy

I was in charge of guard duty tonight. Recently there had been a multitude of new campers coming every night. The Hermes cabin is overflowing and every night the Hermes kids pray to the gods to get them out of there. There have been many Apollo demigods and Athena demigods. So far tonight there haven't been any claims. This morning, the hunters of Artemis had come to camp in search of the Minotaur.

All of a sudden I felt a chill through the air. I looked up at Thalia, who was stationed in her old tree. She had dozed off.

I heard a roar and my spine stiffened, and the hair on my neck rose up. A boy with a dirt smudged face and equally dirty blond hair came running out of the woods and towards the entrance to the camp. Tear streaks were clearly visible, and in his arms was a little girl who's eyes were glassy.

She was dead.

The roar sounded again, and only ten feet away from the boy did the Minotaur appear, snarling in all of its monstrous glory.

"Get to the hill!" I yelled to him, but he tripped and fell. The dead girl flew out of his arms, and he got up to get her, but I stopped him. "She's dead!" I yelled. Fresh tears ran down his face, and looked no older than thirteen. I shoved him past the dead body and he ran towards the camp entrance.

NOW Thalia was awake. She jumped down to the ground and summoned Aegis, her gruesome shield. "I can take it!" I yelled to her. "You make sure he reaches camp safely!"

Thalia gave me a look that said 'If you die, I'll kill you' then ran after the boy. I uncapped Riptide and faced the Minotaur. It charged me, and I stabbed it. My sword got stuck in it's ribcage, and I tried to pull it out but Riptide wouldn't budge. The Minotaur took his hand and back slapped me. I flew into the bushes and my entire body was basically covered by prickly stems, twigs and leaves. I stood shakily to my feet and watched as the Minotaur crumbled to dust. I tried not to succumb to the darkness, but it was too late. I collapsed to the ground and saw through hazy vision Grover, Annabeth and Chiron run towards me. Then I closed my eyes and the darkness enveloped me.

I woke up in the camp medicine cabin. I sat up and my head throbbed.

"Take it easy," Chiron warned.

After a few moments, the pain subsided into a dull ache. I tried to figure out why I was in the cabin when it all came flooding back to me. The boy, the Minotaur, and the dead girl.

"It took us a while to get you back to camp. The dryad you fell into wasn't very happy you were in her bush." He chuckled at this, but it was dry laughter. Forced laughter.

Something bad had happened.

"That must have made a scene," I commented. "How's the boy?"

"Traumatized. Slightly insane. Mostly sticking to a corner of the Hermes cabin."

"How long was I out?" I asked, feeling slightly sore and taking it as a bad omen.

Chiron sighed. "Three weeks."

"WHAT?!" I exclaimed. "Why didn't anyone wake me?"

Chiron shook his head. "Nico said your soul was extremely unstable and if we tried, you'd become a dead demigod,"

"But you have bigger problems."

I was instantly giving him my full attention. "Like what?" I asked warily. If there was another prophecy about me, I don't think I could take it. I've already been through one war.

"The boy- his name's Max - is saying you let the Minotaur kill that little girl."

I instantly had unlimited energy. I got out of the bed and nearly collapsed, but regained my balance just in time. I took a few uneasy steps to get my brain working, then walked outside of the cabin and jogged towards my own.

As I walked around camp I got many stares of anger. I saw Grover talking with some other satyrs, and a few of them shot me looks. As I got nearer they said hasty goodbyes and practically ran from me. Ignoring them, I walked up to Grover. "Hey," I greeted. To my surprise, Grover looked upset.

"Percy, I'm ashamed of you!" He yelled. He never yells. Ever. "Letting that little girl die!"

The full force of Chiron's words hit me like a train. If Grover believed Max, then who else?

Over the next few weeks less and less people were talking to me. Max was claimed as a son of Ares and did his best to make my life miserable. He succeeded most of the time, but I blocked up my anger in an imaginary box and imagined I was wringing his neck to make me feel better. The Hunters treated me like dirt except for Thalia, who didn't speak to me much but defended me from her fellow Hunters. The Ares kids were determined to let Max's lie become reality and helped him fuck up my life. All except Clarisse, who claimed that 'Toilet breath is mine' so they stopped harassing me. I thanked her and she said she knew that Max's mouth was full of Bullshit the minute he started talking.

It had been two months of agony. Only Clarisse, Chiron and Annabeth were talking to me now. Nico did, but he went missing a while back, saying he was headed to California to look for demigods.

I headed to the beach, hoping that talking to my dad would help me clear my head. As I got closer I saw two people holding hands. I decided to be stealthy and crept closer. My eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. It was Annabeth…

And Max.

He said something to her, and she smiled. She looked around nervously, and not seeing me, pulled Max's face in close and kissed him. Soon they were making out- strongly.

The box that held my anger broke into tiny shreds, and I embraced it. The water churned as my anger grew.

"ANNABETH!" I screamed. Annabeth's head jerked up, and her eyes grew wide as she saw me there. Max unsheathed his sword and held it at me, ready to fight.

"How could you?" I whispered, and a tear fell down my cheek. Then another, and another.

Annabeth took a step back. "Percy- things are complicated right now… I-"

"That's the biggest bullshit I ever heard!" I yelled and charged. I threw Max to the ground, and his head hit a rock and he fell unconscious. I picked Annabeth up by her neck, and her feet were a foot off the ground. The ocean was at my command now. It shot up columns and flooded the beach, reacting to my anger. I wasn't going to stop. I didn't want to stop.

I let my anger take over.

A flash of light appeared, and there was a crack of thunder as Athene appeared. "Perseus Jackson, STOP!" She commanded.

I didn't say anything. The water rose higher. It reached my knees now. A spear formed in her hands.

"Perseus Jackson, if you don;t stop I will strike! You will not kill my daughter!" Athena screeched with panic in her voice. This didn't stop me- I was beyond reasoning. All the times I wanted to strike out in anger, but I pushed it into my box. Now that it was destroyed, my soul couldn't take the hatred inside me. It wanted to hurt someone. And here was a victim I could use to escape it.

Athena seemed to realize this, and she hesitated, but looking at Annabeth's face almost blue, she released her spear.

I felt it enter me. It ripped right through my stomach and came out through my back. I released Annabeth and fell into the water, screaming and writhing in pain. Max opened his eyes, slightly dazed, and when he saw Annabeth gasping for air he ran to her side and gripped his sword, ready to finish me off.

I probably looked like a fish out of water, but that was the least of my worries. I couldn't breath. My shirt was soaked in blood. Then eleven other flashes came.

It was the Gods.

Poseidon ran towards me and stared at the spear embedded in my body. He knelt down beside me and seemed to size up his choices. If he pulled the spear out, I would bleed to death. If he didn't, I would still die. Tears rained down his cheeks and fell on my face. I couldn't speak, couldn't move. Blood was pouring out of my body, and my vision was starting to become blurry.

"Brother, get away from him." Zeus ordered. "He must die. His mistakes have led him to this."

Poseidon gripped my hand tightly and whispered in my ear "I will always love you, Percy."

Then he stood up and joined the other gods.

Fury rose up inside me. He was lying. I was dying, and he couldn't even stay by my side before I joined Hades?!

The water around me started to freeze. The air got significantly colder, and I stood shakily to my feet. My knees were wobbling and the spear was still in me. I took the handle and after a few hesitant seconds, ripped it out of my body. My whole form shook violently and I was blinded by pain. Annabeth looked at me with genuine fear in her eyes. Hades looked surprised I was still alive. I fell to my knee, but I quickly got back up.

"I will never serve the gods," I spat. I coughed out blood but wiped it away. "You abandoned me! You say I am loyal to you? Well, when you need me most, I will make sure every one of you die." I looked Poseidon in the eyes, and they all looked shocked at my words.

"Percy…" Annabeth started, but I glared at her. "And you…" I took a few unsteady steps towards her. "I will make sure you will be the first to die."

With that, I used my newfound power to teleport away, leaving a copy of me made out of ice.


Annabeth

The gods were silent for a few moments, until Zeus bellowed "Find him!" He pointed at Artemis. She nodded and disappeared, as did Ares, Apollo, Demeter and Dionysos.

I couldn't get Percy's words out of my head. He hates me… gods, he tried to kill me!

After what seemed like an eternity, Artemis returned. "I can't find him, Lord," She said.

Zeus gritted his teeth. "Hades, where is he?"

Hades looked startled to be called upon, then answered with "It shows that his heart has stopped, but he hasn't entered my kingdom."

I chuckled inaudibly. "Leave it to Percy to cheat death." I thought and rubbed my neck gingerly.

Max put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

There was the sound of twigs snapping, an oomf, and Rachel appeared out of the woods. Her jaw dropped when she saw Zeus, but quickly recovered and ran over to me. "What's going on?!" She demanded. "Where's Percy?"

Poseidon choked back a sob, and Athena looked at the ground, her fingers clenching, remembering how she killed him.

"He's dead." I whispered. Rachel looked shocked. "Oh gods…" She whispered. She turned towards Max and her face became stone. "You did this!" She screamed. "You're the reason Percy is gone! You and your damned lies!"

Max opened his mouth to protest, but Rachel made a strangled sound, and green mist surrounded her.

"The son of Poseidon shall weep in pain

While the earth mother stir in her domain

Demigods shall stand but fall

And help the ones that seldom call

The son of Chaos is the key

He is the one you all need."

She blinked a few times, and the mist faded. She looked at everyone and sighed. "Alright, what did I say?" She demanded.

"The son of Chaos…" Zeus whispered. Realization hit him like a bullet train.

"FIND PERCY JACKSON!"
