A/N

To those who have reviewed with concerns as to whether or not Annabeth is Dead I shall put them to rest and say that yes SHE IS AS DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. keep in mind though that The doors of death are open still so her being dead does not mean she will stay that way. Food for thought. Trio of Friends I am intending for it to become romance at a point since in my book just having a character whine and complain all day bores me to death but how far that is from now i can't say. Thanks for all the reviews and support as Always R/R for I cannot perform Legilmency on all of you to find out what your thinking in relation to the story =).

Percy groaned gods he hated that teleport the gods used it's like putting your body in a blender with a shake feature going at the same time. Lights appeared behind him illuminating the room he found himself in.

"So Perseus, Nemesis spoke eyeing him "do you know the price for what you have asked of us? Or did you think this would be free?"

"Everything has a price." Percy said grimly "What's yours?"

"That would depend on which of us you ask, Hecate said her eyes glittering madly " if you asked Nemesis she'll probably want an arm and a leg ."

"And what's wrong with that? Nemesis grumbled "Odin was perfectly fine without that eye of his people still remember him to this day like I promised."

"Odin?" Percy interjected confused "I thought he was a Norse god?"

"No Odin was just a man made famous by his prowess and Nemesis here." Hecate gestured.

"So….what is it you want of me I mean is this a two for one special or do I have to pay you both in some fashion." Percy said wanting to get to the root of the matter.

Nemesis and Hecate glanced at one another apparently having a silent conversation. After a few minutes Percy was thinking smacking them might bring them back to Earth when finally Nemesis spoke. "That could work I think."

"I think it could to but I have no idea what it is…care to enlighten me?" Percy called sarcastically.

Both the goddess's chuckled at Percy's obvious annoyance. "Well I think that settles it Hecate, Nemesis snorted "he's a breath of fresh air around here too."

Hecate nodded before her face turned grim "Perseus Jackson in exchange for your request we require you to become our champion."

That sounds to easy, Percy thought what's the catch?

"As our champion you will have to undergo a change of sorts, Hecate spoke watching for Percy's reaction closely, "You are familiar with my servants the Empousai?"

Percy grimaced "Were not exactly on speaking terms…" his voice trailed off as he remembered the demonic cheerleaders that had tried to kill him at his school. Not exactly the most pleasant thing to think about.

"What Hecate and I will do to you is strip you of your mortality and humanity, to an extent" Nemesis said adding the last bit as an afterthought. "

"What will happen if you accept our offer is that the legends the mortals have made…that of the vampire will take form in you. It won't be exactly as their myths the sun killing you, stakes and the like. You will be to an extent a monster immune to a true death yet unlike most monsters you will be unique in that your personality will remain intact unaffected by the change…for the most part."

"Question, Percy queried "why a vampire?"

"It's simple really, Nemesis said while staring into Percy's eyes "You ask for a great boon from us one we have not bestowed upon anyone in recorded history. That and the fact it will allow you to use the gifts Hecate will bestow upon you…namely blood magic."

"So your basically saying I'll be a quasi monster that gets to choose who it kills, follows your orders, but can maintain my personality and to a degree my autonomy?" Percy summarized.

"Yes and here's the thing Perseus, Nemesis stated "Even after you have taken vengeance on those responsible for Annabeth's death, Nemesis paused seeing Percy's expression tighten in hate and pain "you will be there to remind them of their misguided judgment every time you kill one of them. You will be a symbol of New Rome's greatest mistake constantly haunting them, the nightmare of the legion and the bane of Rome."

"Well two last questions ladies, Percy asked "Can I be a monster to the Romans yet be helpful to others at times" Percy's thoughts floated around the few at camp Half-Blood who had supported him and been as hell-bent on revenge as him: Clarisse, Nico, the Stoll's, Leo, and everyone in the Athena cabin.

"I like the way you think Perseus, Nemesis beamed at him "Your already thinking about balance while affecting one of the groups negatively you balance it out by helping the other. Yes I think that is doable. Hecate?" She queried "What do you think?"

Hecate's gaze shifted between Percy and Nemesis "I see no problems with that, but he will need to be able to control the hunger before he can do such a feat without harming those around him."

Percy's mind raced he would be virtually immortal able to inflict his pain on the Romans for all time, yet still help his friends and family even if it took years before he could be around them the offer made to him was far and away beneficial to him.

Taking a deep breath he spoke sealing his fate with an oath that appeared in his mind as a whisper in a voice that was Hecate's and Nemesis's overlapped "I, Perseus Jackson, do hereby swear my life unto the service of Nemesis, keeper of the balance, and Hecate, the sorceress, I relinquish my hold on mortality and Humanity let the fates bear witness to my vow." Ambient emerald energy swirled around his feet sparking as the oath progressed.

"We accept your vow Perseus Jackson and rename you as is our right Perseus Ultor, for you shall be a weapon of vengeance striking at those who have destroyed the balance, and performing our will in this world." Nemesis and Hecate chanted at the same time a streak of onyx energy moved from the two of them and settled over Percy.

As the chanting drew to a close Hecate held out her hand and a goblet appeared filled with crimson liquid. Holding the chalice out to Percy, Percy grasped it in his hands and drank. At first the taste was repulsive and coppery causing Percy to gag but just as soon as the feeling of revulsion was there it was gone replaced with a craving for more. In a heartbeat the chalice was empty and Percy felt something change inside him, something fundamental was different. He couldn't quite put his finger on it and kept looking around for a mirror or something to see his reflection. Chuckling Hecate conjured a full length mirror for Percy to see himself in what he saw caused him to freeze in place his skin which had had a healthy tan now was as pale as an albino, he still had his black hair but his eyes were vastly different. If anything his eyes were freaky almost hellish even, for in them blazed two blood red orbs that glowed with power, the only traces of his former eye color being a slim corona of green that encircled them.

When Hecate spoke it was soft almost gentle even "Welcome Perseus Ultor to your new life."
