Annabeth P.O.V.

As I reached the hill where Thalia's tree was, I practically started to skip. Today was the day. It was three years after the Giant war, and so often me and Percy had been talking about our life together. We were both twenty, and, after what Poseidon had told me, it was almost time. While we might wait to get married, we would be betrothed so soon. This was to be the best day of my life.

As I entered the cabin area, I was shocked to find that it was completely empty. There was none of the usual hustle and bustle of camp. It was just, empty. I searched all around for any semblance of people, but found none. Then, I heard cheering coming from the dining amphitheatre. I headed over wondering what might be happening over there. I started running wondering who come there were crowds. What I saw shocked me. All of the gods, not just the twelve olympians were there. They were in the pavilion forming a circle around Percy, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Reyna, Nico, Piper, Thalia, all the head counselors of Camp Half-Blood, and Anneliese.

Uggh. Anneliese. She was daughter of Athena and descendant of Demeter or something like that, because she had the power to control plants and earth. She, unlike most children of Athena, had stringy, dark, greenish brown hair cut in a differing ways as some of it went past her waist and some was cut right up to her head. She also had squinty, mud colored eyes, no eyebrows or eyelashes, a large nose that looked swollen and broken, tons of freckles and sickly olive skin. In other words, she looked nothing like a daughter of Athena. Oh, and she was fat. No, I'm not trying to be rude. She seriously was. Honestly, at five foot two, she was one hundred and ninety-seven pounds. As I said. Fat. Ugly too. (Sorry if anything in here was found offensive to you the reader)

Yet when she was coming to camp, she accidently killed a dracanae. By tripping. The Dracanae fell over her and broke it's neck. After that, she was hailed as a hero. Heck! When I was seven, without any training, I had killed more than one hundred assorted monsters with a non-celestial bronze butter knife and a hammer.(More or less)

Everyone, even the camp councillors and personal friends of mine, praised her. They even ended up nominating her as the camp leader. Which had been my position. At first my close friends suck with me, as the rest of the camp was swayed by Anneliese. Eventually though, she turned everyone except Percy, against me. I thought back to the times when all my closest friends had betrayed me.

#####*Flashback Sequence*#####

The first to go had been Clarisse. It was the day after Anneliese had arrived at camp. As of yet, she hadn't been claimed. It had happened when I went up to her, and asked if she wanted to spar, just like old times. She looked at me with disgust in her eyes and sneered, whipping around and walking away. I tared shocked at her for a few moments. Then I ran to catch up with her, and dragged her arm, so that she was facing me. I questioned her,

"What is it Clarisse? Is something wrong? Have I done something to you?" She sneered again in reply, and said to me harshly,

"Yes, it is something you've done, or rather aren't able to do."

"What is it?"

"Your such a wimp and a coward. You can't even fight. I know that now. I can't believe I ever thought that you were the one fighting all those times. Anneliese told me the truth. How you always hired a stunt-double to fight your battles. I can't even believe you have the nerve to try and spar with me. Just because you used to be my friend, I'm not going to humiliate you by sparring, but I don't ever want to speak to you again. You are a coward. The children of Ares shall not speak to the likes of you." With that, she stalked off, leaving me in the dust, staring at her, wondering where all of that had come from. Later, I found out that Chris was acting the same towards me, as he always sided with Clarisse.

Time Skip

The next to go was Malcolm. My own brother. He had left me for Anneliese when she was claimed by Athena. That was the first time she had shown favoritism towards Anneliese. Instead of a grey owl appearing over the child of Athena's head as usual, Anneliese had been claimed personally by Athena right after she had solved a math problem for a eight-year-old child of Koalemos, the friggin god of stupidity. {True}Yet that was considered, awe-inspiring enough for Athena herself to come and claim Anneliese. Can you believe it? I know that I can't.

Anyway, after that, Malcolm, along with the rest of the Athena cabin became a suck up to Anneliese, because he was trying to get on Athena's bright side. After Anneliese told him to ignore me, he did. He gave me the silent treatment, and never acknowledged my presence. Once, I could have sworn he literally walked straight through me. Still, that's not possible. Is it?

Time Skip

The next to go were the Stoll twins, Katie Gardner and Grover, as well as their personal groups. I had been walking to the Hermes cabin, to talk to Connor and Travis about Chris, when I ran into Katie. She looked up, about to apologize, then her face reddened in anger. She yelled to me,

"How could you Annabeth? I thought we were friends? Let me tell you. It was not funny. Not at all." Then she ran off, leaving me to make my way to the Hermes cabin, pondering what that was about.

When I reached the cabin, I knocked, and Travis and Connor opened the door. As soon as they saw me, their expressions morphed to one of disgust. Before I could even ask them about it, Travis yelled outright at me,

"How could you? I know you're desperate for attention, and popularity, but seriously. What kind of prank was that. Why would you burn the Garden of Demeter? That was just wrong. Besides, everyone knows you are a stick in the mud. There is no way you're going to change their opinions of you." With that he slammed the door in my face, while Conner just gave me a sad head shake. I realized that the burnt garden must be why Katie was mad at me, but the problem was I hadn't done it. So where had they gotten that idea.

I turned around only to run into Grover. I started to speak,

"Hey Grover-" Only to be interrupted by him.

"Don't you dare 'Hey Grover' me. Anneliese told me what you did to the garden. Do you even care about what you did. Half of those plants had spirits in them. Do you know how painful that is to me? You don't even have an ounce of remorse for what you did." With that, he left me, just like all the others.

The only good part of that day was that I figured out why all this was happening. Anneliese. She was the cause of all my pain. It had to be her. After that day, I figured it couldn't get worse, but it did. Eventually, Anneliese turned the whole camp against me. The newer campers went to her side immediately, as well as the Romans, while my friends drifted over to her one by one. I lost Piper, Jason, Hazel, and Frank because I was the one who was revived, not Leo, They believed that I should be the one permanently dead, not him. Eventually all I had left was Chiron, Nico, Thalia, and Percy. I figured they would never abandon me. Still, with time they left me too.

Time Skip

Even my mentor, the person who was more of a father figure than my own father left me. I had gone to the Big House in hopes of comfort, and I saw Chiron sitting in the wheelchair, looking in deep thought. At this, I also thought about all that had happened, and ran up and hugged him whilst sobbing. A second later I was thrown to the ground. I looked up and saw Chiron glowering at me.

"Get off of me, you little piece of scum. What makes you think you can just hug me like that?"

'Ch-Chiron, what do you mean?" I stuttered out. "You are like my family."

"You're no family of mine. I may have tried to raise you, but I obviously failed. Anneliese is a much better hero than you, and she actually has powers. I should have chosen to raise her. Instead, I choose you. And look where that turned out. You are a disgrace to me in my training. You don't even compare to my other pupils who became heroes. 'Why?' You might ask. Simple, it is because. You. Are. Not. A. Hero. Not even a weak excuse for one. I don't know what went wrong with your raising, but something obviously did. Now leave me. I don't want to see you ever again."

When he finished, I ran out of the room, tears streaming from my eyes. For he had confirmed my worst fears. That I wasn't a hero at all.

Time Skip

Thalia and Nico left me a few minutes apart on the same day. They both blamed me for a similar thing. Thalia had come knocking to my cabin She was banging furiously, and so I figured whatever was happening was urgent. I rushed to the door, and opened it. Thalia then came storming in. Literally. There was a miniature storm surrounding her. That is how I knew she was angry. She immediately opened her mouth to scream at me.

"I can't even believe what you have done! Or should I say did in the past? Anneliese told me how you got yourself captured by the manticore just for attention! Then we had to go on that Gods awful quest which caused, two, TWO people to DIE. When we arrived, you let Zoe die. It's your fault that she's dead, if you had tried harder to get free, we wouldn't have had to go to Mount Othrys, and Artemis would never have been captured and none of that awfulness would have happened. You also practically killed Luke, if you had accepted his offer to go away with him, just like old times, or if you had tried harder, then he would still be alive. Or he might never had become Kronos in the first place. But no. You just had to be the hero!" I tried to talk her out of her fit of anger,

"Thalia. You-"

"Save it. Anneliese told me how you were telling her about how you played Luke for a fool, and caused him to become Kronos. Anneliese also told me how you had bribed Atlas when he told you the prophecy while you were captured, to kill his daughter so that the prophecy would be complete. You always were too strict and a stickler for details. Everything bad that has ever happened is all your fault!" She spat, then stormed off.

I just stood, staring at the door in shock. A few seconds later, I heard a knock at the door. I rushed to it, expecting to see Thalia again, instead I was met with accusing black eyes. Nico, said, in a cold angry voice,

"I don't want to hear any words from you . I just came here to tell you that I'll never forgive you. If you hadn't gotten captured, Bianca would still be alive. I was mostly over that by now, but now that you told the camp my secret. You promised Annabeth. Yet you still told everyone in camp I was gay. I had even told you I no longer was, {AN: Sorry I just don't like it. I have nothing against gay or lesbian people, I just don't like Nico being one, so in my story he isn't} but you still told everybody. Since Anneliese told me this, I didn't believe her at first. Then I went around in disguise and asked where they had heard I was gay from. Everyone said it was from you. There is no denying that. I will say it one more time. You will never be forgiven from this!"

"Nico, I never-" He cut me off with a glare, then he shadow travelled away, using a shadow to slam the door shut so hard it cracked

As he disappeared, I broke for the first time. All my friends were gone except for Percy.. I needed him. I didn't know what to do without him. I went to him and he comforted me as wept into his shoulder. As he murmured comforting words, I realized that I loved him with all my heart, and I would do anything to keep us together. I was worried though, that he would leave me just like the others. When I voiced my fears to him, he came up with a way to create an unbreakable bond. Marriage. I was so ecstatic that he would basically propose to me, I crushed him in a hug and cried for a second more, this time out of happiness. Then we lept up holding eachothers hands, and ran to contact our parents.

Athena blessed it, though grudgingly, because Percy had jumped into Tartarus for me, plus I had a feeling she didn't really care anymore anyway. Poseidon, however was unconvinced. It was then that he proposed the quest for me, and I eagerly agreed. Before, I would have been wary that Percy would change sides while I was gone. At that moment, I seriously doubted it. If only I had known what would await me when I returned.

#####*End of Flashback Sequence*#####

There they all were, the people who I had once thought of as friends, even Percy, grouped in a circle with Anneliese in the very center. I stopped at the edge of the clearing, and listened to what was happening. First up to speak was Athena.

"Ahem. Campers. I have an announcement to make. First of all, while she is not here, I have an announcement regarding Annabeth Chase." I waited, about to step forward assuming she would congratulate me on what I did, specifically retrieving the Athena Parthenos. Her next words, however, cracked my heart.

"I wish to disown her. She is dumb, can't ever get anything right, and has no powers or special abilities. She is altogether unworthy of being my daughter. So, now she is no longer mine. I officially disown Annabeth Renee Chase" After this, I waited for one of my friends to protest, but no one did. Not even Percy. I instantly felt most of my demigod-ness leave me, only enough scent for monsters to attack left. Yet, at the same time I felt more powerful and more me than ever before. Although, I did have a feeling if I pricked my finger, instead of the goldish, shimmery, scarlet blood I would normally have, it would be the deep red of a mortals. hen Athena continued, as if what she said before was completely normal, and not an earth-shattering announcement for a certain previous daughter of hers.

"In a related subject, I wish to make Anneliese my favorite daughter and give her my full blessing. She is the Greatest Hero Ever, and the Best Sword Fighter. Does anyone disagree?" There was complete silence. I however was screaming in my mind: How about 'The Most Egoistic Dog Ever!'

"Good. Then that's settled. Now it is my father, Zeus's turn." Athen then stepped back and let Zeus take her place.

"Alright everybody!" Zeus thundered. "I want to make all the heroes of Olympus and Camp counselors to be made partially immortal so that they can train heroes of the future. The heroes are the ones inside of our circle. Anneliese, I wish to make the fifteenth Olympian.(Annabeth wished for Hades and Hestia to become part of the council as her reward for defeating Gaea.) That way the council will be more even. Does everybody accept?" I watched as everybody in the circle nodded their heads. I waited until Percy's turn, sure that he would decline immortality as I once had for him, and as he had done last time. Instead he simply said,

"As long as Anneliese is immortal alongside me, I gladly accept." I was stunned. Why would he ever say that!? Then they were all granted immortality. What happened next shocked me more than the previous events combined. Poseidon stepped forward and announced,

"I believe my son has something to propose. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I would still be married to Percy. I might even be granted immortality for it. Then Percy stepped forward, his famous crooked grin on his face. A box in his hand. I figured he had spotted me. But then why, pray tell, was he headed in the opposite direction. He turned toward Anneliese and dropped down to one knee. My hands flew to my face and horror. I could only watch as all the gods beamed happily and Percy proposed to... to... That Girl

"Anneliese. While we have only known each other for a while, I feel we have been together our whole lives. While I am still dating Annabeth, I shall dump her the moment she returns. She is nothing compared to you. She is ugly, dull, strict, and lame. She has no power and can't even take care of herself. I want you to be my bride. So, what do you say, Anneliese? Will you marry me?" Knowing what her response would be, I ran as fast as I could away from there.

Without thought, I ran to the border. Without a glance behind me, I left camp. There was no place for me there anymore. No longer was I a daughter of Athena. I didn't belong in camp. It would just bring me pain. I couldn't go home to San Fransisco either. My father and step-mom and half-brothers had been killed in an accident a little while ago, while I was on my quest. My life was just so unfair. I had been hoping for Percy to comfort me on that, but now, I couldn't bare to talk to him. Not to mention he would be to busy with his wedding to Anneliese.

I had been betrayed and forgotten by everyone. Even my closest friends. The sirens had been right about my fatal flaw. Just in the wrong way. My loyalty would kill me because I had trusted them with all my heart. While I wasn't sure if I was mad or sad, to be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to live anymore. So that is why, with barely any second thought, I ran of into the woods.
