Chapter 1

3rd Person POV

Percy smiled to himself as he walked through Olympus. He had asked Athena for permission to marry Annabeth last year at the end of the Giant War and Athena had given him a challenge. If he could become a master at archery he could marry Annabeth. After one year of practice and help from Apollo and several minor gods and goddesses he had finally achieved his goal. Athena had seen him shoot and had told him to come to her palace. When Poseidon had heard this he had become very angry at Percy and had refused to speak to him but Percy didn't care. He walked up to Athena's door and knocked. Athena opened the door.

Athena's POV

I opened the door to see Perseus standing outside. I smiled and invited him in. When I was watching him practise archery, I must admit that I admired his dedication and determination. We went into the living room and we sat down.

"Perseus, I've been watching you doing archery and I must say I'm very impressed by the amount of determination and dedication you have put into your task," I began, "And you have completed your task very well. So I give you permission to marry Annabeth."

I smiled at the look on Perseus' face. "Really," spluttered Perseus.

I noticed that Perseus hadn't corrected me for saying Perseus instead of Percy. That was a first. "Yes, really," I smiled, "As an additional reward I will also give you my blessing."

I told Perseus to wait there, then ran up to my bedroom. I rummaged through my jewellery box until I found what I was looking for. In my hand rested a small owl shaped box. I walked back downstairs to Perseus who was waiting patiently in the living room. I gave him the box and he opened it and gasped. In the box lay a pair of gold rings. On each of the rings there was a silver owl carrying a blue trident.

"Thank you so much," Perseus smiled.

I returned the smile and placed my hands on his shoulders and gave him my blessing. He grinned and bowed his head before hurrying away from my palace.

Percy's POV

I paused next to a waterfall in Olympus. I dug a dramacha out of my pocket and threw it into the rainbow.

"O, Iris," I said, "Please accept my offering, show me Annabeth Chase at Camp Half-Blood."

Annabeth appeared in the rainbow.

"Hey Annabeth," I grinned, "Do you want to watch the sunset today? You know, down at the beach."

Annabeth nodded, "Why are you smirking?"

"Nothing," I said hastily, "See you later." And I cut the connection.

Two hours before sunset

I walked down to the beach, to get ready to propose to Annabeth. I saw two figures sitting there on the beach. As I drew closer I saw that one of the people was my half-brother, Mark. Probably flirting with someone, I thought. The figure next to him had blonde hair and as I got closer I could see her face clearly. Annabeth. My heart skipped a beat. I hid in the shadows and listened in on their conversation.

"Annabeth," asked Mark, "When are you going to break up with that weakling?"

"We're going to watch the sunset tonight," replied Annabeth, "Come down with me tonight and I'll tell him then."

"Good idea," smirked Mark.

"It's cold," whined Annabeth, "Can we go somewhere else?"

The pair stood up and strolled past me without noticing I was there. I thought for a moment then waited until they had gone and hurried down to the beach. Those two were going to get a big surprise.

Sunset

Annabeth's POV

I walked down to the beach holding Mark's hand. I still didn't know who I liked better, Percy or Mark. On the beach I was expecting to see Percy, but instead I saw a heart made out of candles. I slipped my hand out of Mark's and walked into the heart. In the middle of the heart there was an owl shaped box and two pieces of folded paper. I picked up the three objects and unfurled the pieces of paper. The first piece of paper read 'I thought you loved me" in Percy's handwriting and the second was a photo. The photo was of the beach and me and Mark sitting on it together. Tears dripped down my cheeks as I opened the box. Inside was a beautifully crafted gold ring with an owl carrying a trident. I took it out of the box and saw an inscription on it 'Seaweed Brain, Wise Girl. Together, forever.' Suddenly an arrow appeared and imbedded itself in a tree, the ring dangling around it. I hurried over, Mark on my heels. Just as I reached the tree, Percy appeared from the shadows and took the arrow from the tree, throwing the ring to me.

"Percy," I stuttered as I caught the ring.

"I feel into Tartarus for you," Percy growled.

Mark had caught up by now, "What do you want Percy?"

"I want to make you suffer," snarled Percy and turned away from us.

"Percy," I whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Too late," he hissed and ran into the woods.

Percy's POV

I cried as I ran. Monsters chased me but they lost interest soon enough. Before I left I had done a bit of pranking with the Stoll twins. I had told them all about Annabeth and they had agreed to help me. We had gone around every cabin and had slipped the picture of Annabeth and Mark into each cabin. In the Athena cabin we had left a special surprise. (Mwaaa-haaa-haaa-haaa-haaa, that was meant to be an evil laugh, but evil laughs are hard to type)

Annabeth's POV

After Percy had left, I stared at the ring in my hand. Then I slipped it onto my necklace of Camp Half-Blood beads.

"Finally," Mark grinned, "That weakling is gone. Means I get to spend more time with you."

I glared at him angrily and that selfish dork just looked at me and asked, "What?"

I pushed him in the chest and shouted, "You selfish bitch!" and ran up to my cabin. When I got there I immediately sensed that something was wrong. I pushed the door open and went inside. The cabin was empty. The door swung shut with a bang. I turned and saw a note stuck to the door.

'Hey Annabeth,

Here's a goodbye present from me.

Lots of hate, Percy

P.S. The door stays locked for the rest of the night.'

I wondered why he thought that locking the door for the rest of the night would do anything, then I turned around and saw why. A mass of spiders were crawling towards me.

Next morning

In the Dining Pavilion everyone turned around when I entered, stared at me for a while then turned back to their friends. I heard a few whispers about me and the Aphrodite cabin were glaring at me but I brushed them off. I looked across at the Poseidon table but the only person who sat there was Mark who winked at me. I glared at him and sat down next to Malcom who immediately got up and moved away from me. I finished my breakfast and went down to the training grounds to practice.

"Hey," snarled a voice.

I turned to see Clarisse and a group of Ares campers walking up to me with.

"What?" I asked.

"What is this?" she growled, thrusting the picture of me and Mark at me. I paled and stammered, "Nothing."

"Liar," she snarled and her siblings growled in agreement.

At that moment I knew two things. 1) No matter how much the Ares campers seemed to hate Percy, he was like a brother to them and 2) I was about to become dead meat. Then the Stroll twins walked up and I expected them to defend me. Connor was holding a camera and Travis was holding a large box, Travis gave me the box and innocently said, "Percy asked us to give this to you."

I opened the box to see a huge tarantula, I screamed and dropped the box while everyone in the vicinity laughed at me and Connor snapped away with the camera.

Percy's POV

I hope Connor and Travis did give Annabeth my last 'gift'. Sure enough when I was in the out skirts of New York the brothers appeared in an Iris message, leaning on each other and crying their eyes out with laugher.

"How did it go?" I asked eagerly.

"Amazingly," chortled Travis.

"Wish I could have seem her face," I said wistfully.

"You can," grinned Connor, "I recorded the whole thing and sent the camera to you on Blackjack."

"How did you get him to do that?" I asked.

"Give him donuts and sugar cubes and he'll do anything for you," smirked Travis.

'Hey boss,' I heard Blackjack wining in my mind.

"Oh," I said, "Blackjacks coming, do you have a copy of the video?"

"Yup," grinned Connor, just before Blackjack swooped in and cut the connection.

'Hey, Blackjack,' I greeted, 'Got the camera?'

'Yup,' he replied.

'Good' I said as I took the camera from him, 'Go give Annabeth one hell of a bad time Blackjack. Get all the other animals on her case.'

Blackjack nodded and flew away as I went in search of my mum, my stepdad and my baby sister, Sandgem, who we always called Sandy, who was eleven months old. I turned the corner saw my family apartment. Flame where coming up from the apartment next to it and I began to run towards the apartment. I pushed through the crowds and ran into the building. I used the Mist, a new ability of mine and made myself invisible. I burst into the apartment and coughed at the smoke. I ran into the bedroom and saw my mum and Paul lying on the bed. Paul wasn't moving but my mum had her eyes open.

"Mum," I whispered.

"Percy," she croaked, "Take Sandy and leave."

"What about you?" I asked foolishly as I scooped up my sister and covered her mouth and nose with my sleeve.

"It's our time," she whispered, "I love you Percy."

I stood up and using the mist again ran out of the burning building. As I mingled in with the crowd I saw Poseidon standing with a look of grim satisfaction on his face. His lips where moving and I crept closer to hear what he was saying, "It's for you own good, Sandgem."

I ran away. The only reason I stayed in New York was to leave a present for the gods.

Hestia's POV

We were summoned to Olympus for an emergency meeting. The first thing I saw was two pictures enlarged on the floor. One was of Poseidon watching a building burn down and on was of Annabeth and Mark sitting on a beach. As soon as all the gods where present, the image with Annabeth and Mark moved. The sounds where projected from nowhere.

"Annabeth," asked Mark, "When are you going to break up with that weakling?"

"We're going to watch the sunset tonight," replied Annabeth, "Come down with me tonight and I'll tell him then."

"Good idea," smirked Mark.

"It's cold," whined Annabeth, "Can we go somewhere else?"

Then the picture depicting Poseidon sprang to live.

"It's for you own good, Sandgem."

All the gods when deathly quiet after this.

"Call Annabeth and Mark," whispered Zeus.

Hermes nodded and flashed away. He soon flashed back with what seemed to be the entire camp. The image of Annabeth and Mark replayed itself and then blood red words appeared on the images. 'You will pay. You, Sea god are no longer related to Perseus Jackson.'

"Percy's blood," murmured Annabeth.

Percy's POV

Exhausted. My new daily routine was:

7:00 Wake up, feed Sandy.

Fight monsters.

12:00 Feed Sandy.

Fight monsters.

20:00 Feed Sandy, pray to Hestia and Hades, go to sleep.

Soon I found myself in an alley way, surrounded by monster. Sandy was now one year old. I had nowhere to run and was desperately praying to Hestia and Hades to save her. I didn't have any energy left to swing my sword so I curled protectively around my sister closed my eyes and waited for the pain of being slashed apart by monster. But nothing came. I opened one eye. Nothing but gold monster dust floating in the air. A figure appeared and walked through the dust towards me. I struggled to me feet, holding Sandy protectively.

"What do you want?" I croaked in a hoarse voice, cracked from lack of use. I swayed slightly and placed a hand on the wall to steady myself.

"I have come to extend a hand of friend ship," said the figure. From what I could see and hear she was a teenage girl. She wore a hood and silver eye mask that was moulded in the shape of a wolf.

"What do you mean?" I rasped.

"Chaos sent me to offer you a place in the ranks of the Angels of Chaos," she replied, "Chaos' personal army."

"What about my sister?" I asked.

The girl took Sandy from me and cradled her carefully in her arms, "She is a powerful demiprimordial. Daughter of Erebus."

"Demiprimordial?" I said incredulously.

The figure nodded, "She would become very strong if she started training at an early age."

I nodded slowly, taking in the fact that my baby sister was the daughter of the primordial god of darkness.

"What about the offer to become part of the Angels of Chaos?" I recalled.

"You can't accept now as you don't know much about it but if you come with me I know someone who can," she said.

I nodded and the girl touched me lightly on the arm and we disappeared in a black flash.

Gamitea

We reappeared in a throne room. There were four thrones in the room, but only one was occupied. A tall man sat in the largest throne.

"Chaos," said the girl briefly, nodding a greeting.

"Alpha," replied Chaos.

"I brought Percy and his little sister," said Alpha.

"What is the name of your sister?" Chaos asked me.

"She's called Sandgem but we call her Sandy," I replied.

Chaos got off the throne and morphed into a tall, slim lady who took Sandy from Alpha and placed her hand on Sandy's forehead.

"Lots of potential," stated Chaos, "Would be lovely if she could join us, but it's not up to me to decide."

She gave Sandy back to Alpha and said to me, "It's up to you to decide."

"Um…" I said, "Can you tell me about the Angels of Chaos?"

Chaos nodded. She conjured up a chair for me and morphed back into a man before sitting down on his throne. Alpha sat down on the throne to the immediate left of Chaos throne. There was another throne to the left of Alpha and the last throne was on the right of Chaos' throne.

"The Angels of Chaos are not real angels," began Chaos, "We only have a few real angels and they are not the warrior types, they are healers. This planet, Gamitea, was made for the Angels. On this planet we have several cities, a battle field, training ground and various spaceports. The Angels of Chaos is my personal army and we take in anyone from any planet. The people who are too young to be considered soldiers are raised until they are old enough. The ones that are too old are taken back in time to around old teenagers to their thirties. To get into the army you either have to be chosen by Chaos or last long enough in a battle with Alpha, my second in command. You have to last over half a minute to enter. Anything else?"

"Do the people who are too young have to stay on a different planet?" I asked, "And is Alpha her real name? "

"No, people who are to young just grow up here," answered Chaos, "And no, her real name is not Alpha, Alpha is her code name and if you become an Angel of Chaos you will find out her real name."

"What benefits do I get from becoming an Angel?" I asked.

"You get partial immortality and cool wings," replied Alpha, "And if you're high ranking enough you might be able to get a spacecraft."

"And if I enter the army what rank will I be at?" I asked.

"I think you will already be at a quite high ranking," said Chaos thoughtfully.

I thought about not becoming an Angel and then I listed all the pros and cons of joining the Angels. Then I made my final decision, "Me and Sandy will both join the Angels of Chaos."

Chaos got of his throne along with Alpha and placed his hands on my shoulders. His hands glowed black and the glow spread over my body.

Alpha's POV

As the black glow slowly spread across Percy's body, the rest of the commanders flashed in wearing their masks. Chaos and Percy showed no indication that they knew they were there. I placed Sandgem on my throne. As the black glow covered Percy's body, me and my fellow commanders moved forwards and placed our hands on Percy's body. The black glow intensified and as it reached a degree to which it rivalled Nyx's domain. We all removed our hands from Percy who crumpled to the floor only to be caught by me.

"Jewel," I said to the other girl commander, "Can you take Sandy who's sleeping on my throne to the infirmary?"

Jewel nodded and picking up Sandy flashed out of the room.

"Conquest, can you help me with Percy?" I panted.

The only male commander nodded and helped me to lift Percy before we flashed to the infirmary. We placed him onto a bed next to Sandy's cot and sat down. Sandy woke up and started crying. Monsoon moved to comfort her while I flashed out to get some milk for Sandy. When I got back Percy was stirring uncomfortably in his bed. I picked up Sandy and fed her the milk little by little.

"Why don't you let her gulp it down?" asked Jewel.

"Because her stomach won't be able to handle it, she'll be sick," I replied as Sandy finished the milk.

I put her back into the cot and she started snoring contentedly. Percy stirred in his sleep again. Suddenly he sat bolt upright.

Percy's POV

I looked around frantically for Sandy, then saw her in a cot next to me and dropped back down into the bed. Alpha and two other people crowded around my bed.

"Are you O.K." asked the other girl.

"Fine," I replied, "How's Sandy."

"We just fed her some milk and she's sleeping," Alpha replied.

"Who are your friend's?" I asked.

"This is Jewel," she said pointing at the girl who had a swan shaped mask on, "And this is Conquest." She pointed to the boy who had a mask that wasn't moulded into the shape of an animal but had intricate designs carved into it.

"And I'm guessing those aren't their real names," I stated.

Alpha nodded, "My real name is Silvia and I was a daughter of Lupa." She took of her mask. She had long black hair and a pretty face. I could see her eyes more clearly now. Her eyes where a brilliant emerald green with fiery orange rings around her pupils.

Jewel and Conquest looked at each other, then simultaneously took of their masks. I gasped when I saw the faces of two people I never dreamed I'd see again
