Chapter 1

DISCLAMER: I do not own PJO or HoO. Might as well say this for all these chapters.

Percy's POV

I ran through the forest, escaping the angry campers' cries. So Annabeth decided she was done with me and cheated on me. Not only that, she managed to turn the entire camp against me. Huh. So much for being the Hero of Olympus.

As I arrived at the creek, I lifted up all the water and doused the campers. I froze the water and walked away. As I approached the borders, I unfroze them all and sprinted away.

Timeskip- 3 days

A Hellhound approached me. I swung riptide in a wide arc, disintegrating it immediately. I was ready to make my last stand, just as Thalia did, only somewhere else. Monsters approached me. I disintegrated them. But, I could only swing my sword so fast, and soon I would be overwhelmed. I released all my pent up anger accumulated sinc Annabeth cheated on me, plunging Riptide deep into the earth, shaking the ground, huge cracks emanating from the hilt. Springs of underground water sprang up, blasting numerous monsters into the air. When the earthquake was over, Most of the enemy force had been destroyed. Woah. TOTAL. FREAKING. OVERKILL. For the gazillionth time in days, I asked myself : where was I going? I thought (a rare occurrence) about my mom's home. Nah. I didn't want to endanger my parents, with monsters and campers on my trail. Camp Jupiter? Maybe…

Reyna's POV

I sighed. A month ago, Frank and retired from his Praetor's duties to live his life with Hazel in New Rome, leaving me as the only Praetor (again). All of a sudden, the guard rushed into my office.

"Praetor Reyna, Percy Jackson has entered the camp!"

My eyes widened in response. I stood up, ignoring all the paperwork on my desk, and rushed to see him. And there he was, all bruised and scarred, panting heavily.

"Percy? What brings you here?"

"You don't want to know."

"Percy?"

He put his hand on my shoulder. "I know you're a good friend Reyna, but…but I don't think I'm ready to tell you yet."

I sighed. "Fine." I asked him "Perseus Jackson, do you wish to remain in the Fifth Cohort? You have proven yourself worthy of praetor, much less the First Cohort."

"Praetor Reyna, I wish to remain in the Fifth. I would like to meet my old friends."

"Very well, Percy. I will make the arrangements."

"Wow, personally? You must care a lot about me."

I blushed a bit and scolded my self mentally. I responded "I am only doing a favor for a fellow comrade and friend Jackson. Don't get your hopes high."

"Sure!" he replied, and grinned cheekily. I sighed. "I'll make the arrangements now Jackson. Now try not to blow up Rome like last time, okay?"

It was his turn to sigh. "Fine."

"Very well Percy. I hope you will serve Rome well."

Annabeth's POV

What have I done? I basically turned the whole camp against Percy. I don't know what came over me, but it almost felt like I was possessed. I sobbed, crying at the harsh reality of things. Even if Percy's fatal flaw was loyalty, he wouldn't be loyal to me anymore. I had basically broken his spirit. I…I had cheated on my boyfriend. I chased him away. I basically betrayed him in every single way possible. Why were the Fates so cruel to me? I silently cursed Aphrodite. She promised me an "interesting" love life. But there was nothing I could do now.
