So here is the 2nd chapter in the story! Before I start i'd just like to thank Hans 50 for his permission to borrow some of his ideas, even though I have no intention of taking any major or personally created points from anyone, I thought that i'd mention this. His points will come later on in the story, and they are just the small blessings and stuff that I have seen happening in a few stories, but anyway, Thanks Hans!
Thanks all of you that have followed this story and/ or Favorited it. It shows that this is worth writing so thank you.

David POV
I emerged outside of the Big House approximately 3 hours after being lead in by that horse man thing. I was overjoyed that my dad was one of the 3 most powerful Gods, and was quite happy about his power, feeling that I was in control, being cabin commando leader or whatever it's called. I was annoyed when they told me that I had a brother, and that he was savior of Olympus twice over? Well, that won't do. I was gonna be top dog around here, and no one would stop me. Since i was leader of my cabin, guess its time to get things straight between the guy the wine dude called 'Peter Johnson' and Horse dude called 'Percy Jackson'
I wondered around the campsite and saw a figure do a back flip of the super high climbing wall, narrowly missing the lava that flowed down from it. I thought that if this Percy guy is even half as heroic as everyone made him, he'd be there.
Percy POV
I just back-flipped of the climbing wall and landed less then perfectly on my feet on the bottom. It was quite fun to be honest. I then saw David (or so i'd been told was my brothers name) making his way over to me, glaring. I sighed, great, few hours into camp and apparently i'm already in trouble with this guy. I decided to try playing it off cool and so said " hey bro, how you finding camp?" He just glared, looked around to make sure no one was watching and then whispered with venom in his tone: " listen dude, i'm running this shit now. I don't know what you see in this piece of crap but since i'm here now, this is gonna be my show. You're gonna have to back off, or there are going to be serious problems. I'm your Counselor and so I can decide what activities you do, and how hard we need to push you, and if you are mean to me Poseidon wont be very happy, so i'm warning you, stay out of my way."
I just stared open mouthed at him. Did this newbie just threaten me!? Did he just threaten my fathers wrath on me? Does he not know that Dad is quite tight with me, he did say that i was his favorite son after all. But doubt had started to grow in my mind. Poseidon hadn't said anything to me, he hadn't helped me and he replaced me as counselor without even asking. I decided that i won't care about running camp, when a emergency comes they will remember me, and in the meantime some peace and quiet may actually be useful for me! I decided that i won't say that to him though, it's kinda not in my nature to except anyone's rules, and if i defied Gaea and survived I sure as hell wasn't gonna take this from David, so I grabbed his arm, flipped him and walked away, feeling slightly better. I didn't see the intense look of hatred that David directed towards me. Little did I know that this was just the beginning.
Story POV
It seems like David couldn't take anyone being in more power then he was, so he slowly spread lies and deceit among the campers, saying that Percy is just a fake, that he hasn't done anything. He quickly got the attention of the new campers who didn't know Percy, and made them flock to his side. He started secretly recording Percy, and took out any parts where he looked or did something stupid, or when he tripped and/or stumbled. He blended them together and made a video showing Percy killing the monsters through pure luck. This could have been the downfall of one of these two characters. Will Percy be ruined or will David be found out for being a lier...
Percy POV
Something strange was going all. The campers were giving me cold shoulders and seemed to be getting more and more hostile towards me. It was a odd sensation, going from a hero and one to be admired to being scowled upon, but i didn't really care. Those that actually mattered to me, My friends, my teachers and most of all, my girlfriend Annabeth were all with me. As long as I have them the opinion of my stupid half brother and the rest of the campers won't matter to me,and since my friends have been with me for 2 wars and I fell into Tartarus for Annabeth i'm quite safe. Nothing can break these bonds between us. However, over the following weeks my friends were getting further and further away from me. David kept on approaching them with some weird camera thing in his hands and when they walk out they always seem deep in thought, But being a good friend I left them to their own thoughts and their privacy. However, i couldn't shake of something was badly badly wrong. It turned out that I was correct. It was one of those evenings where I was being shunned out by most of the campers so I did what I was doing more and more lately: training by the sea so I could improve my swordsmanship and my control over water. Wars may be over but I may as well keep my skills up! As I was walking up to the spot where i usually train I was blocked by the Stoll brothers. We had gotten really close after the Wars and Luke's betrayal and I felt connected to these guys. I was confused at the looks of pure rage upon their faces but being the Seaweed brain that i was i ignores it and said to them "Hey guys, whats up?" Imagine my surprise when they blew up in my faces screaming at me, saying how they couldn't believe that I would do this to them and do that to them. They finished my yelling at me to never come near them again, and i was just stood there in complete shock, feeling a part of my heart breaking, and one of the bonds of friendship and loyalty snapping.
Conner and Travis Stoll POV
How dare he! after he grasses on us on a major prank we were about to pull off and after we 'caught' him saying how it was our fault that Luke betrayed the camp he has the nerve to walk past us saying WHATS UP. That was the last straw, we pulled completly from Percy and joined the rest of the camp next to David. It was him after all who had shown us the video of what all Percy had done, recording his conversation with Chiron about him telling on us and ruining our work and him talking to someone about us not being able to see through Luke. At first we shrugged it off, but the evidence was clear, wasn't it?
David POV
Finally I saw my weak half brother being hurt. I couldn't believe the nerve of that guy, wasting all of my efforts on turning the camp against him by not caring. I had to go deeper, so, using the power of technology i recorded Percy some more. When he protected the Stolls from being caught on a Prank and he said he was doing it, it i was the work of minutes to change it so it seemed like he was blaming the Stolls, not protecting them. Oh the irony. The Luke stuff was harder, he would never say that so i just had to get enough of his speech to create the sentence. Now that i have hours of recordings the next stages of my plan should be easy enough. Just wait Percy Jackson, you are in for a Miserable life by the time im done with you, a truly miserable life...
Percy POV
It went on and on and on,every single day, and I was getting scared being around the few remaining friends I had. Katie Garner some how thought that i ruined her garden and then proceeded on ahem, urinating on it. Then apparently I said that Demeter kids are useless and that they are a waste of space! Surely she would know that I would never say that!
Will Solace apparently thought that i said all kids of Apollo are cowardly archers that couldn't do anything but hide and watch their friends be killed. I was over my head with all of this! What was going on?
Jake Mason, who I had always respected after he let Leo become head councilor because of his injuries claimed that he personally saw me destroy his forge and promised me that if i ever come near him again he will personally set all the traps that the Hephaestus cabin had ever made on me. One by one all of my friends left me, and it hurt like nothing could. What hurt most was when Grover said that he caught me trying to flirt with Juniper, and she actually backed him up! How could he think that i would do something like that. I practically felt some of my mind die as Grover destroyed the empathy link that he had formed all of those years ago. A part of my mind that i'd started to depend on had been torn away from me, and my first and oldest friends that I had ever formed was taken away. He was the one that brought me into the world of Monsters and now he thinks that I betrayed him. The funny thing was that there were only 4 people who didn't completely shun me out in Camp: Chiron, who could sense that something was wrong, Annabeth, who stayed out of Davids influence without abide acting a bit odd lately. She would never let me kiss her on the lips anymore, and seemed to be uncomfortable in my presence, but when I asked her about it she just put it down to stress of getting and redesigning Olympus after 2 full out wars. Me being the good boyfriend that i was just left her to her own personal space. the other two were, surprisingly, Clarisse La Rue and her boyfriend Chris Rodriguez. We may have got off to a bad start but she held surprising amount of respect for me, and I her. She never let David near her or Chris either, and turned a cold shoulder to whatever he said. I started to join the dots and was going to confront him soon, but tonight was the time for something else.
I really needed some time with my girlfriend and tonight i finally got her to come to the beach side, where we had our first kiss. I had something special planned for this night. I got dressed into a elegant suit with a white shirt and a tie. I tried to comb my wild raven black hair but it was a hopeless task. I tied a tie and put a rose in my pocket. Then I sucked in a deep breath and then prayed to the goddess Athena to come to me to prepare for the most dangerous thing I had ever done, and this is coming from the guy who fell into Tartarus. Athena appeared in a flash of light and proceeded to stare at me. "Perseus" she said slowly, in a tone that immediately told me she wasn't happy to be here and wanted to know why she was here in the first place. I bowed to her, surprising her with both my dress up and my action. "Lady Athena, I have something to ask you." She nodded to me to go on, and so i sucked up a deep breath and then stuttered out " i wwold li li lik to ma marr marryyourdaughter" The last bit came out in a jumble of words but she seemed to get the message. She glared at me, her face not giving away even the barest hints of emotion, and i was starting to feel very nervous under her gaze. Finally she said " I was wondering how long it would take you to finally ask for my permission" I just gaped at her open mouthed and she smirked at me, saying " Shut your mouth Perseus, you'll catch flies, and you seriously didn't think that I didn't know about the depths of your feelings for my daughter did you?" I was speechless. "So so so is that a y- y-yes Lady Athena? She rolled her eyes at me and winked, saying" Did you get a ring Perseus?" I released that i hadnt but she grinned at me, looking like she knew that i would forget and gave me a case made of pure silk. When I opened it I gasped. There was a single ring, with a large diamond decorating the middle and outlines of sea horses and owls around it. I bowed and was about to thank her when she said " I expect that you will make it a special night tonight, Ill be watching you propose to my favorite daughter." I just nodded dumbly before she teleported me to the beach.
As I walked to our spot I saw it was already occupied... by none other that my brother David. He was kissing a blonde haired girl along the neck, his hand around her waist, pulling her in to him. I was about to turn away, my face a mask of disgust but I stopped dead in my tracks when i heard a familiar voice say " Not here David, we could be see"
"Who cares Annabeth, why do you care? are you worried that Percy will see you? Why don't you dump that retard anyway, we've been doing this for the past week!" Said David
"I don't know David, we have been through so much I just don't want to let go, he even fell into Tartatus for me, but now he just isn't exciting like you are, tonight he has called me for a date, ill tell him then OK? I just hope we can still be friends. Said Annabeth
I couldn't believe it. The women that i loved, that i was ready to die for was CHEATING on me! My heart was breaking, and the box with the wedding ring in it slipped from my grasp and fell onto the sandy floor with a noticeable thud and they quickly turned around and looked at me in utter shock...
