3RD PERSON POV

The next month was hell for Percy. Dylan said that his father wanted him to make Percy's life horrible. And he was succeeding quite well in Percy's opinion. Joey was using his mothers tricks as goddess of discord to cause havoc. Dylan was slowly making all his friends stop talking to him. He tricked them by spreading lies and rumors about Percy that everyone believed. Like he told everyone that Percy liked to look through the Aphrodite cabins window when they were changing. Piper turned against him after that, along with a number of his friends like Leo and Jason. Or when he told everyone that Percy liked to bully the little kids are camp, always picking on them in sword practice to make himself look big. Percy felt anger and sadness that his friends had so little faith in him. Nico was safely out of Dylan's reach as he was in the Underworld with his father since the E-Z Death line clogged up. Apparently it was a mess down there. All Percy had left was Annabeth. Even the Apollo cabin went against him when they thought it was Percy who blasted their archery group with a tidal wave, when it was in fact, Dylan.

Percy was currently on his way to Annabeth to warn her about Dylan and his tricks.

Malcolm walked past and Percy called out "Hey Malcolm! Have you seen Annabeth?"

And of course just as Percy expected, Malcolm ignored him and walked on.

Percy just decided to search on his own. After two long hours of searching Percy got up to go to the beach to relax. Hopefully lose some stress that he's had inside. When he walked to the beach he saw a couple making out. He wished he had some time alone so he began to walk off but he saw the girl had blonde hair. Percy walked around to get a view of her face and he felt dead inside. Annabeth was cheating on him with Dylan. Percy had no words to describe how he was feeling.

"Annabeth! How could you!" he shouted at her.

She froze and turned around to face him.

"Sorry Percy but I realize that I love Dylan not you. You're always training these days I bet you are cheating on me!" She shouted back.

Percy couldn't believe this was happening. Annabeth clearly wasn't the Annabeth he knew. Percy just lunged at Dylan, throwing him a hard hook to the jaw.

Dylan staggered back clearly in pain. All the campers rushed over to see what happened.

"Percy just broke Dylan's jaw for no reason!" screeched Annabeth. All the campers began glaring at him.

"No! I didn't! It was because-"

"Because you're jealous of Dylan." Joey cut in.

"No way would I ever be jeal-" Percy tried to say back but was cut off yet again.

"Yes you are! Don't even deny it Percy! We're through!" Annabeth hissed at him.

Percy got so angry that he didn't even reply to that or point out it's lies.

"Fine. But none of you will ever see me again. I hope I don't see you ever." Percy glared at every one of them traitors for good measure before storming into this cabin. He rushed in and ripped all the pictures off the wall that had anyone in it besides his cousins. They can all go to Hades, Percy thought darkly. He left everything taking only Riptide. He didn't want any reminder of this camp. Percy decided to go see his Mom first, then decide what to do. He left the camp borders with people jeering at him while he tried to hold in tears of hatred and betrayal.

Percy arrived at his apartment block and walked upstairs. He found his Mom's door and knocked. After 5 minutes waiting Percy thought that they must be out when some one answered the door. It was a middle aged man who Percy didn't recognize at all.

"What do ya want kid?" he asked gruffly.

"Wheres Sally Jackson?"

"Oh you don't know? She and her husband died last week. Drowned I heard," he said.

"Really? Are you absolutely sure?" Percy felt himself getting weak. He was having too much despair for one day. This news just topped his list.

"Yeah positive. Sorry kid," the man said before closing the door.

Percy felt like killing himself. In just one day his entire life has gone down the drain.

I have nobody else left, he thought depressingly. Then he remembered he still had Poseidon. He called a cab and went to Montauk. He glanced back at the cabin where he and his mother had stayed before diving into the sea. He saw some sea life nearby and swam over. "Any chance you guys could lead me to my dad's palace?" he asked politely.

Yes My Lord, they thought back and swam rapidly down into the oceans depths. Only when the Palace came into sight did Percy stop and think to himself, what if Triton is there? He decided if his brother was there he was going to rip him into pieces. Triton better hope that I don't find him, Percy thought darkly. Mermen swam up to greet him as they recognized the child of the sea.

"My lord," they all greeted in unison.

"Where's my dad?" Percy questioned impatiently.

"Of course my lord follow us" they replied.

They brought Percy to the throne room of the Palace where Poseidon sat upon his throne, trident in hand, waiting for Percy. When he saw Percy he got up and crushed him in a hug.

"Percy! How are you? What are you doing here?" he asked.

Percy didn't know where to start or what to say. He just broke down and finally let all his tears and pain out. Poseidon was shocked he didn't know what was wrong, he just kept hugging his son tightly.

"What's wrong Percy?" he asked worriedly.

"Mom and Paul are.. dead.." Percy whispered.

Poseidon was taken aback, he never even thought they would die now. He expected them to live out their life span.

"How?" Poseidon asked sadly.

"They drowned," Percy replied. Poseidon felt angry that they died in his element.

Poseidon brought Percy to a guest room and left him to rest. Triton should be back from his work soon, Poseidon thought. Poseidon walked back to his throne, deciding to talk to Percy when he was more stable.
