A/N: Sup! CthulhuIsReal here. I'd like to tell you that this is a Percabeth or a Pertemis fanfic, but no. Sadly, Percy isn't with anyone.
Haiku Disclaimer!
Percy is awesome.
He beat Kronos and Gaea.
I do not own him.
Camp Half-Blood
Percy had just finished his quest for Poseidon. He was supposed to defeat Ladon and get all 16 apples. He did, of course. His clothes were all but disintegrated. He was covered in monster dust. He limped on one foot. Hard to think that this was the Hero of Olympus.
He was overjoyed because he was going to propose to Annabeth. His half-brother, Darren Horston would not even be able to ruin that occation. His ego was so big, that it was even bigger than Zeus's.
He went back to his cabin to shower, change his clothes and unpack. Why unpack? One of his missions was from Athena. She would increase his demigod scent by 100x and leave him alone. He finished that.
After changing and taking a shower, he unpacked. He found a silver revolver in his bag. He knew this gun. It was polished really well and was loaded with 5 Celestial Bronze bullets. He had used the sixth one to finish off Ladon. He had found it when Athen said he could pick any weapon from this armory.
He gingerly picked it up and stored it in his safe. He continued unpacking until he came across the 16 golden apples.
They were rich golden. They looked as if they were real golden, like they couldn't be bitten. He was tempted to bite into one, to taste the heavenly-looking apple. But he saved it for the date he was going to go to with Annabeth. He smiled again. He kept it in a box. He locked it with a key.
He then took out the ring he got for her. To say that it was beautiful was an understatement. It was encrusted with tiny silver diamonds on the sides. In the main point of it, was a sea green gem. He grinned. He wanted to see her face when he showed the ring to her.
He rested on his bed for a while while looking at a picture of them. It was at Thalia's tree. They were both happy. Her golden yellow hair was flowing behind her and her grey eyes sparkled with amusement. That was seven years ago. Before the prophecy of the giants.
He had seen a future with this girl. He imagined them living in New Rome, with kids. Living normal lives at a normal place like normal people. That sounded like heaven to Percy. After two wars, all he wanted was some rest. No monsters, no gods, no demigods. Just normal.
He grabbed the ring and the 16 apples. He walked out of his cabin and saw a lot of commotion at the amphitheater. He walked there to see Darren, Annabeth, the Olympians and many other half-bloods.
It appeared they were cheering Darren on. He heard that he had slain a hydra. He snorted. He had done that on his second quest. Then the words he heard from Poseidon made his heart skip a beat.
"This is my favorite son, Darren Horston!" Everybody cheered him on. Percy widened his eyes when he heard Poseidon's next words. "He is so much better than Percy Jackson! I will disown that boy when he comes back!" More cheering.
Percy the caught the eye of Athena, Hestia, Hera, Hermes and Hades. They all looked wide-eyed at him and Athena looked at him gravely. I am sorry, Perseus, but your father is getting too ahead of himself. She sent a message to his mind. He will truly regret doing this to the best son of Poseidon. No, the best demigod to ever live. I'm also sorry about Annabeth...
The next thing he saw broke his heart, mind, will and spirit.
There, was Annabeth Chase kissing Darren Horston wholeheartedly.
He ran back to his cabin. He kept hitting his head to wake up from his nightmare. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no..." He kept muttering. He kept banging his head on the table until he saw a picture. The picture he was looking at earlier. He looked at it one more time, before he got Riptide and sliced the photo in half.
He spent a few minutes ripping, slicing and cutting up all his pictures of Annabeth. He was not filled with grief. His only emotions were rage. Rage that could even surpass Zeus's.
He sat down on his bed again and began to cry. His life had been ruined by a few words and actions. His future had just been ripped apart by one simple kiss. Was this what Aphrodite meant by messing with his love life? No, she only nourished love, not create it.
He kept hitting himself, until he saw the revolver on the table. Then he knew what to do.
Firework Beach
Percy stood on the shore of the beach, his life flashing through his eyes. Not the you-are-going-to-die kind but he was recalling every single moment of his life. Every sad moment, happy moment, angry moment, all of those.
Then he cocked the gun. He held it up to his forehead and prepared to shoot. Until he smelled the sea-breeze. When he put down his gun, he saw the Sea God himself.
"Percy! What are you doing?" He asked, worry etched into his voice. "What does it look like? Ending my life." Percy said bitterly. "Why? You have so much to live for." Percy then had a mad look. "So much to live for? I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR, POSEIDON!" Poseidon looked shocked.
Then the Olympians flashed in. They had felt an incredible source of power. They were shcoked to see that it was Percy. "I HEARD YOU, POSEIDON! I HEARD THAT DARREN WAS YOUR FAVORITE SON! I HEARD THAT YOU PLANNED TO DISOWN ME!" His voice turned bitter. "I saw what Annabeth did. And now, you're trying to make me think that you actually care about me?" Percy laughed humourlessly.
"I-I...I'm sorry, P-Percy." Poseidon was stuttering. Percy was furious. "You think that I'll just forgive you and get it over with? You are mistaken. I'm not that Seaweed Brain you've known all these years." Poseidon was crying.
"You know what, Poseidon? I can take a hint. I know when I'm not wanted." In a split-second, he put the gun to his head again. "One last thing, before I die." He threw the bag containg the ring and the apples. Everyone except Athena was shocked.
It had been a long time since someone had defeated Ladon. "Give that box to Annabeth, will you Lady Athena?" Athena nodded and picked up the box with the ring. "I have one last sentence to say. Poseidon, you are not my father." And then he pulled the trigger.
Everyone was shocked to recieve that action. Silence. Then Poseidon yelled in anguish. He walled to where Percy was and cradled him in his arms. He was foolish to think that Darren was a better son than Percy. His tears spilled over the dead body of the last Jackson.
Zeus was saddened by the death of this great hero, even if he was not his own.
Hermes was next to Poseidon, also crying for he had considered Percy as one of his own.
Hestia had tears dripping all over her face as she silently registered the death of her beloved nephew.
Athena was praying for this young soul to go to Elysium. She did not have a good past with him, but she had considered him the best demigod, male or female, alive.
Everyone was mourning the death of the son of Poseidon.
Athena's Cabin
Annabeth was in her room, smiling dreamily at a photo of Darren. Her laptop buzzed. She got it and turned it on. She saw the notification. It's Percy and my 9th anniversary!
Percy.
She had forgotten all about him and decide to hit it off with Darren. She hit her head. What was she thinking? She had been sad by Percy's quest for 3 months. She went with Darren because he reminded her of Percy.
She also had thought that Percy was cheating on her. But then she shook her head. Percy's fatal flaw was loyalty. After contemplating, she had decided that she would break up with Darren and go back to Percy.
She knew that he had to be back by now. She was about to leave her room when Athena flashed in. She looked pissed. She promptly slapped Annabeth in the face.
"You are a foolish girl, who does not deserve to be called a daughter of Athena." Annabeth was shocked. Her mother never insulted her, unless it was her relationship with Percy.
"But...why?" Athena scowled. "You have just cheated on the best demigod in history." Annabeth widened her eyes. Did she just call Percy the best demigod ever? "I told you, you would regret it." She wondered why she was telling her this.
Athena read her mind and scowled. "You really don't know? Get it into your head, Annabeth. Percy is dead." She froze at her words. Dead? No, this couldn't be real. She half-expected someone to walk in and say Not! "He had seen and heard everything in the amphitheater." Did that mean that he had seen them... "Yes, it did. And it ruined his life. You destroyed his whole future. He told me to give this to you."
Athena gave a small bag which contained two round objects, a notepad and a box. She opened the bag and saw two sparkling apples. She faltered. Tears were streaming down her face. He had fought Ladon and won to get these apples for her.
Next, she opened the notepad and read it. Steps for engagement. Step one: Blindfold her and lead her to Firework Beach. Step two: Present ring and ask for marriage. Step three: When she says yes, invite her to restaurant near Long Island. Step four: After dinner, present Apples from Garden of Hesperides for dessert. Step five: Live happily ever after.
Her heart was filled with pain when she read it. She had noticed that in step three that it said, When. Not if. She cried some more. He had been so sure that they would've gotten married. She knew that when he had seen her kiss Darren, his heart had broken.
Then, she opened the box. She gasped. She saw the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. On the inside, were the words Percy and Annabeth forever. She cried again.
She had broken the heart of a man who was planning a good future for the both of them. That night, when she went to sleep, the words on the notepad and the ring haunted her. They screamed at her in her sleep. She couldn't get it out of her head. His fallen figure scarred her and had an eternal reminder of her lover's heart being broken.
When she woke up, she stayed in her bed. No amount of coercing got her out. She said nothing and felt nothing except for one emotion. One emotion that haunted her for the rest of her life.
Regret.
A/N: So? So? Was it good? Was it bad? Was it average? Now that I think about it, it has a teensy-weensy drop of Percabeth. Thank you for reading as always. I have a few recommendations for you.
Everlasting Promises, Starblade176: Percy, betrayed by who he thought was his soulmate, takes a daring act and swears himself by the oldest primordial. Now, he has to deal with the consequences, both good and bad. Pertemis.
This is what caused me to love Pertemis. A shout-out to Starblade176. I rate this 10/10
Erin Effigy, Son of None, Champion of Hecate and Hebe, Winter-Buzz: Percy was betrayed by almost everyone, cheated on by Annabeth, disowned by Poseidon. So he left and became Erin Effigy, son of none, champion of Hecate and Hebe. Will he come back to fight Erebus and Nyx alongside the gods, campers and the legion of Aether and Hemera? Percy/Thalia/Clarisse/Artemis/Reyna/Piper/Zoe/Bianca/Calypso/Athena/Aphrodite
This is very good for a harem. I rate it 10/10. Although, I think Per-I mean Erin has a bipolar disorder.
The Queen's Champion, Anaklusmos14: Percy is betrayed by the person he trusted the most. Not what you expect, you'll see. Lost, he vanished without a trace. He returns a different man with close relationship with the least likely goddess. No HoO...yet. What will happen when a new threat arises? Will he fight?
This is very nice. Although, it kicked my junk when I realized it wasn't Percabeth. 9/10. Artemis acts a bit too OOC but it's fine.
The Order of the Phoenix: A Demigod's Might, PaleRider365: Percy Jackson has been alone for almost four years. When he's given a quest by Hecate, he eagerly accepts. His mission: Stand by Harry Potter. Percy spends the summer with Harry and the two develop a brotherly bond. When the Order comes to take Harry to Sirius, Percy joins them. How much will history change due to Percy's involvement? Can he help Harry fight his demons, or his own?
I don't usually read crossovers, but in my opinion, this one is awesome. 10/10. A shout-out to PaleRider365
That's all. I hope you people have a pleasant day, so good niiiiiiiiiiiiii-oh wait. To inform you, I will update Alpha Omega tomorrow. Good niiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhht.
