I thought I was loved
Summary: Percy's life was going great. He has survived against all odds. He managed to get what heroes usually never get, a happy ending… or so he thought. (Trying not to make it usual Percy/betrayed)
DISCLAIMER: Just own the plot, not the characters. (Unfortunately)
Leo POV:
I wake up in the morning to the sound of birds. The events of yesterday, come back slowly. The betrayal, the fleeing, and the blessings. I struggled to remember the blessings I got: better control over fire, and can generate home cooked meals, make somebody tell the truth and now have perfect archery skills, the ability run really fast, be quite stealthy, and can tell perfect lies, that won't be detected by anybody except the Olympians. Then I remember that we were supposed to go north to Alaska. Something about some powerful deity wanting to meet. Well, let's start the day. I get up and see that Percy was making breakfast. "Want some really burnt leaves for breakfast?" I think before I realize that Hestia's blessings gives us good food. No thanks I say before sitting on the ground and thinking of tofu. Suddenly I see a plate of food. Percy eyes me, "How did you do that"? I laugh and say, "Remember Hestia's blessings". Percy just has this face he has when he does something really stupid and Annabeth laughs at him. Wait, I won't think of that backstabbing person. Percy closes his eyes and then he has a plate full of food too. We both laugh, "So when are we going to start the trip to Alaska, who do you think is the powerful deity?" "I really don't know, but anything is better than roaming the US for a job." We both laugh at the thought of us in suits getting ready for jobs in the morning. "We'll start for Alaska after breakfast." After that we eat in silence. Once we're done, we wish the plates gone, and start the journey. We had nothing to carry so the load was light. Just our torn clothes and us. I check my pocket to see if there was anything in there, maybe something that could at the very least, be something for me to fidget with. I find a few nails, but nothing else. I decide that talking would be best. "Which ways north?" Percy points forward, "I went there on my quest with Hazel and Frank" I feel a pang of pain, I totally forgot about the others at the Roman camp, (piper was visiting Jason). "Do you think we should visit them, they weren't the ones who betrayed us?" He replies, "We don't know if they were on our side or not, Annabeth might have lied to them, or, if we go, they'll want to come with us to Alaska and I don't want to put them in danger too." I considered the reasons, as much as I hate it he's right. "So we're going to walk"? Percy stops, and then starts laughing. I ask him "What's so funny"? He replies, "I just realize that I could have just called Blackjack." I stop and glare at him "The gods are chasing us, and you forgot? That is unacceptable?" I say with a mock stern face. His eyes are closed for a few seconds, and then open, seconds later I see a black winged horse along with a white mare also winged.
Percy POV
How could I have been this stupid? Leo's still glaring at me with is mock stern face, but I've already turned toward Blackjack. We have a conversation:
Blackjack: Hey, boss.
Me: Hey, did you bring an extra horse?
Blackjack: Yeah, he was more than happy to do something for you. I may have bragged just a teeny bit about you.
Me: *sighs*
Then I turn to Leo who looked half confused and half understanding. It was kind of an impossible face.
I then say "I'll take Blackjack and you can have the white mare. Leo nods, and saddles onto the white mare. I mentally say to Blackjack:
Me: Hey, Blackjack
Blackjack: Yes, boss?
Me: We need to get to Alaska, and step on it the gods are on our tail.
Blackjack: Sure, boss
Me: If you get us there in an hour I'll give you a bunch of really good carrots! (A/N: What does Blackjack really eat?)
******************An hour later***********************
Blackjack: Hey boss, we're here. Can we land? Marissa (the white mare) is about to collapse and I'm close too.
Me: Of course Blackjack. Your definitely gonna get your due of carrots. Along with Marissa.
Blackjack: Really boss? You're the best.
I turn to Leo, I nod to him, telling him we're about to land. He nods back. Once we've landed I use Hestia's blessings to form a bunch of carrots and apples (A/N: I think that's what he eats) Then Blackjack and Marissa both return back, leaving us in the land beyond the gods.
Leo's POV
I've never actually flew on a Pegasus. It is an amazing experience. You've been missing out. Percy turns and gives me a nod, I understands that this means we're landing. I nod to acknowledge it. After that, we feed them carrots and apples and sent them back. After they're out of sight, I ask Percy: "What now?" What if the powerful deity changed his mind? What if- my thoughts were interrupted by a low and gentle yet powerful voice? "Why would I waste my chance to recruit two of the most powerful demigods?" We turn around. I see a very handsome man who looks like he's in his 20's and he has an aura, like a gentle yet very, very, powerful and ancient one. I felt like bowing, but I didn't. The super-sized Mcshizzle bows to no one. Percy spoke up "Who are you"? He smiles, and says "I am chaos, of the universe", whoa, we're face to face with the Chaos. How is he so young? I decide to ask later, I'm not sure how much taunting he can take. He looks to me and says "I'm here to recruit you. (A/N: thought about ending it here but that would be too cruel.)
Percy POV
For a moment I panicked, what if this deity changed his mind? I was overcome with relief when I heard a voice. Then he mentioned something about recruitment and my ears perked up. Me being the doofus I am I say "What recruitment" He explains "I have an army that goes around the universe fighting evil, if you accept you will be given immortality and more powers, although, you might lose some of your current powers like blessings. However, if you impress some of my children, they might bless you. Let's not get off topic though. I wish to recruit the two of you, your positions will later be determined. Do you accept?" This was an easy choice. "I accept" Leo and I both say. Chaos smiles. Suddenly we were in this huge futuristic room-no, it was a ballroom. It had amazing architecture, better than that of Olympus. It would impress Annabe-I won't think of her. I see that there was this really long table that was rectangular. It had 20 seats on each side, and at the two short edges, there were two seats for two important people. They were very comfy looking, and I resisted the urge to sit on them. Then Chaos spoke "The two chairs are my leader and lieutenant, I think they were destined for you. If you get close, one of two things will happen, (1) you were not destined for the chair and will be pushed back with force, or (2) you were destined to be leader and the chair will do something to signal that it wants you."
Leo POV
Woah, this is so cool. I mean leader or lieutenant? I want to be one of the two. I rather be lieutenant though because I'm not the best at leading, or anything really concerned with talking to a crowd. Percy and I both get to the chairs. I close my eyes hoping I won't be blown back with force. Surprisingly, I'm not. I open my eyes to see the lieutenant chair on fire, the leader chair, well it looked and smelled like salty ocean air. Seconds later, both signs disappear. I am just bursting with happiness. I don't show it because the bad boy supreme is cool, and calm. I look to Percy and he has the same look in our eyes. Chaos comes over and says "Congratulation, you are our new two leaders. Let's take you over to see your rooms." He takes to two different rooms side by side. "These are the leader and lieutenant rooms. Touch the handle and step back." Percy and I do so, seeing that after touching the handle, my door turned slightly red, and the doorknob now orange. Percy's door turned slightly blue, the doorknob now blue. When I stepped inside I gasped, it was like my magic bedroom. The bed had a bunch of buttons, like angle, height, and bedtime music. Amazing! The room was huge. It had sections like a planning center filled with maps to create things, a desk for tinkering, and the closet was unlimited. I just had to think of what I wanted to wear. The walls were white, but it seemed that was not it. I think they were mood-adjusting. They were a happy yellow right now. I tried to calm myself down and the walls turned silver. I accidentally turned myself on fire. I saw the floor had no marks after I accidentally burst on fire. "That's right" I turn around to find Chaos. "Your entire room is fire-proof" Suddenly he frowned. He smiled again, but it looked forced. "Enjoy" Your room serves dinner. He flashed and I went back to exploring my room. There seemed to be hidden hallways….
Chaos POV
After I saw Percy settle, I turned my attention to Leo. He had accidentally burst on fire from his happiness. I almost laughed. I decided to go to him. As I was talking to him, I saw that somewhere in the next 5 years, something was going to happen. I needed to more, so I said goodbye to Leo. I needed to know how much time I have to train them…
How was it? Don't worry, even though Percy is a little quiet this chapter, but that's only because last chapter was a little too focused on Percy. From now it will be equally balanced chapters. To clear up any questions, there will be no uprising since Percy and Leo didn't go to Tartarus. Yes, I do support Caleo and Percabeth, but I am open to anything. I can do Pertimis, Perlia, or if you want I will create another character. Please review, it makes me feel better, review and tell me what pairings you want. I also don't believe that Chaos should be old, so I'm definitely going to pair him. Create a character with a sunny disposition and review about her. No, I will not do slash. I'm sorry, anyway sorry If Percy and Leo are a little too, OOC. I will try to fix that. Percy and Leo will continue to be sassy. #persassy #sassyclub
