Just so you know this story will be a betrayal story where Annabeth cheat on Percy. I'm sorry for disappointing those who wants that Annabeth will follow Percy.
Chapter 2
Percy
Ever since Joshua killed those monsters, he's been acting arrogant and cocky like he was the leader of camp. When he settled in Camp Half-Blood, he learned that Percy is the leader and started to hate him.
At first, it was not that bad. He was just telling him taunts, walked proudly, and told campers who passed by him that he is awesome and the most powerful demigod and that they should praise him and all of that. But then Joshua noticed that Percy was at all bothered by it so he put it notch. He then started stealing the campers' important things and blaming them all on Percy. Most of the campers had believed him. Slowly, Percy lost friend after friend. Until the only friends he had were Annabeth, Grover, Juniper, Connor, Travis, Katie, Will, and Clarisse. But they, even Annabeth, were starting to waver.
He had really wanted to marry Annabeth right now because of the fear that Joshua might take her away from him as well. But he has to do some missions for Athena so that he can get her blessing and permission to marry Annabeth, her daughter.
"Well, I will just try to finish them faster," he thought.
_4 MONTHS LATER_
"Whew! That was really a challenge," he thought as he wiped the sweat on his head and looked at Athena after he finished defeating Ladon, which was his last challenge to finish.
Athena smiled to him, "Well, you have finished defeating Ladon so now you have my permission to marry Annabeth. Here, take this ring. I had Hephaestus made this for you."
She tossed a box to him. He caught it and put it in his pocket.
"Now I will give my blessing," Athena told him just as she put her hand on his head.
Percy briefly glowed a greyish light.
"Thank you, Lady Athena," he said gratefully at her.
"You're welcome, Perseus. Now back to camp you go," she said and winked at Percy and teleported him right outside the barrier of camp.
He went in excitedly since he is going to propose to Annabeth. The campers didn't acknowledged him even just a bit but he was too excited to care about it.
Percy walked to the Big House to tell Chiron that he is back. When he went in, he noticed that Mr. D wasn't there.
"Hmm, that is weird. I wonder where Mr. D is," he thought.
He then said to him questioningly, "Chiron, I'm back. Where is Mr. D? I haven't seen him anywhere."
"Oh, welcome back Percy. As for Mr. D, he came back to Olympus. His punishment was shortened by Zeus so he left a few days ago," Chiron said, not even looking at me.
"Well, thanks and see you later," Percy said.
When he walked by, he saw everyone staring at him with distaste. He didn't even know what he did. He just saw them staring at him like that.
He went to the Poseidon cabin. He plopped down on his bed and took out the ring box from his pocket. He gazed at it for a while. Then he opened it. Inside was a gold ring that had been carefully and beautifully crafted and carved. It had very complicated designs and an emerald with little diamonds surrounding it.
"It's so beautiful. Annabeth will love it!" he thought with a wide smile.
Little did he know that he will never get a chance to give it to her.
When it was time for dinner, he went to the dining hall. What he saw surprised him. Everyone was glaring at him with distaste, even his friends and Annabeth, whose eyes were a bit puffy and red, but he just ignored them and waited for the nymphs to serve the food. Then he got some and stood up to sacrifice a portion of it to the gods. Afterwards, he returned to his table and started eating his food. After he finished, he looked at the Athena table and saw that Annabeth is starting to leave.
He caught up to her and casually said, "Hey Annabeth, how's it going?"
She stopped for a bit and turned around. "Oh nothing, it's that you just left me without telling me. What were you doing huh? Were you cheating on me?" she said angrily.
Percy felt taken aback at her words. "I wouldn't do that to you, you of all people should know that," he tried to tell her.
"Oh yeah, then what were you doing then?" she said.
He noticed something was wrong with her but he shrugged it off, thinking she was probably stressed or something. "I was doing Athena a favour," he replied back.
"Well I don't believe you Perseus Jackson, we're through!" she said and stormed off, probably to her cabin.
He stood there in stunned silence, completely shocked at her outburst. Then he shook out of his stupor and decided to go to the beach to think. As he arrived there, his father, Poseidon appeared before him.
At first, Percy thought he was going to comfort him. However, that did not seem to be the case. He looked angry. Why? He did not know. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by an angry- no, furious sea god.
"Perseus, we have a lot to talk about," he said.
Percy decided not to question his father and just obeyed as he did not want to anger him any further than he already is.
"First, why are you letting that son of Zeus control your life? You should have fought back at him," he bellowed at him.
Before Percy had a chance to say anything, Poseidon continued, "Also, I have heard that Sally and Paul were killed."
"WHAT! They're killed?! How? When did this happen?" he said, bombarding his father with questions. He felt grief and sorrow as he heard this.
"I investigated them in their house. It seems they were killed with a sword. And they were killed the day before you arrived back here. I suppose you have a part in this?" he told me accusingly.
"I would never do that. They're my parents for Zeus' sake. What make you think I-," Percy was trying to say before he got cut off by Poseidon.
"Lies! I'm so ashamed to even call you my son! Leave my cabin NOW!" he yelled at him before disappearing in a flash, literally.
He sat there in shock once again. Once he finally registered everything that had happened, he stood up and ran away into the forests."
