I woke up when Bob shifted suddenly. Still drunk I reached over and patted his head gently but he took off at my touch. Looking up I could see his tail disappearing in the doorway but I thought that he just needed to pee or something. Turning around I soon fell asleep again and only woke up when Bob barked very hard downstairs. Now this was something that got my attention, because in the time I got Bob he never barked at this volume. I got up and swayed down the stairs to see what got Bob so winded up. It was dark but I could feel something was wrong. I heard bob's little feet sliding over the floor as if he was pulled by his collar. Bob was barking extremely loud now but suddenly it stopped and changed in a soft whimpering.

Not thinking straight because of the whiskey I stuck my head around the corner into the kitchen and saw a big man standing on the other side of the room. At his feet lay the form of a small dog. The moon shone through a window and I saw 2 shiny things. One was a very long sharp looking knife and the other was the pool of blood that Bob laid in. I felt the warm blood draining out my face and being replaced by ice cold anger. Almost falling over while stepping forward I saw a blur coming at me and then nothing when the baseball bat hit my head.

I don't know how much time passed but when I woke up I couldn't move a thing. My head hurt so much that I felt like vomiting and everything that I saw seemed to be moving in circles around me. When the spinning stopped my vision focused on the small being that lay in front of me. Little Bob, my last connection to Annabeth was gone and would not come back. I tried to hold back my tears as the ground started shaking when my automatic garage door opened and a growling sound found its way to my ears. I thought that this night couldn't get any worse but once again in my life I was wrong. The people who killed my dog and wrecked my house were now stealing my beloved car. I lived a hard life so far, But even Percy Jackson can only take so much. Everything that I ever loved was taken away from me. I felt every last bit of compassion leaving my system and it being replaced by fury and cravings for revenge. These people would pay for what they did. And when they do they will know that the very last person on this planet to anger should be me. I will find those two and I will kill them.


The man looked up from the car that he was working on when a very beautiful mustang was driven up to his shop. He smiled because he hadn't seen the owner of that car and old friend in a long time. Imagine the surprise on his face when two teenagers stepped out of the car. These two were regular customers but they never got these kind of cars.

They walked towards the man and greeted him. ''Hello, we want some modifications on this car.'' Said one of the kids. That caused some raised eyebrows with the technician because he couldn't believe Percy would ever want a change on his car. ''Where did you get that car?'' asked the technician. ''that's none of your damm business old man.'' Reacted the other. ''he was just a man with a now dead dog.'' ''do you have any idea who's car you have stolen?'' Asked the shop owner. ''no, and why would we care?'' '' He was rude and disrespectful.'' Said the two. At this moment you could see the twinkling eyes of the technician dim a little.

He stepped closer to the boys and whispered: ''you two are dead.'' ''What, do you think that that loser could kill us?'' said one of the boys arrogantly. But at the word loser Leo Valdez flipped. Nobody calls Percy a loser. He moved back a little and the next thing the boy sees is a dirty hand flying towards his nose breaking it. The two boys were baffled that someone actually dared to touch them and quickly fled with the car not looking for more trouble. Leo shook his head and went back to working on the same car as before he was interrupted. He expected this to escalate but when he didn't know. And it would come sooner than he thought.


A day later Leo was surprised by a blinding light that only Gods could produce. When it was safe to look again he saw a huge man with a bikers jacket and the biggest rifle you have ever seen strapped to his back. Chains covered his clothing and 4 rings with skulls on it rested on his fingers. But the most terrifying trait of this person were his fire red eyes that stared into your soul filling it with anger. It was Ares, Olympian God of war and his uncle. Not ready to die yet Leo bowed to the god and waited for what Ares had to say. ''Well, well, well, what do we have here. I was notified that you hit one of my sons. Is that true?'' asked Ares in an unexpected calm tone. ''yes my lord, I did'' responded Leo politely. ''And why? You should know better than humiliating my children.'' ''I had a good reason my lord. They broke into Percy Jacksons' house, stole his car and apparently killed his dog.'' Explained Leo calmly. Let it be clear that you don't surprise Gods very often but every word Leo spoke widened Ares' eyes. ''I understand. We gods have been following how Percy is doing but so soon after his wife died is too much for him to handle. He will go hunting again. But no monsters this time. Now he will hunt my children until he finds them and he will kill them.'' Leo nodded as an confirmation of his prediction. ''but they are still my children so I will protect them.'' Ares spoke softly and after that disappeared in a blinding light again.


I was cleaning up my house when my phone rang. Picking it up I heard a voice that I had not heard for a long time. It was the voice of Leo, one of the most brilliant engineers this world has ever seen, and old friend. ''Percy! I have news for you. Yesterday two teenagers came by my shop and wanted me to modify your car. After they insulted you I hit one of them in the face and this morning Ares himself came to ask me why. The thinks you are going to hunt his children down so he took them to a safe place.'' I heard Leo almost shout. Apparently the old sod finally had gotten some sense. He was right about the hunt but he made a mistake with getting involved in this. He wasn't even allowed to because he is a god. And he would soon be noticing it.


Somewhere in New York 2 boys were being driven at high speed in their fathers chariot. Finally giving in to their questions Ares told them what they were hiding from. ''you have no idea what you did and to who you did it to.'' '' that man you robbed and who's dog you killed was no less than Percy Jackson, Hero of Olympus, slayer of Kronos and Gaia and the only one in history who has been twice offered Godhood. This man fought giants, massive armies of monsters and even me when he was twelve years old. And when he was done with the world of the Gods he made us swear an oath that we would have nothing to do with the rest of his life. Then his long-time girlfriend and wife died. He was grieving with his dog which was the last gift of his wife to him. And at that very moment you two idiots came along and killed it.'' It was quiet in the chariot for some time while all three thought about the situation. ''well then we will kill him too when we see him again.'' Said the two at the same time. ''YOU WONT EVEN SEE HIM COMING IGNORANT FOOLS'' shouted Ares with the force of an exploding nuke. ''Yes father'' said both quickly. ''you two need to lay low for a long time if you want to live longer than this week. And that's why you are going to this safe house.'' Said Ares still angry. ''Percy is probably gathering information and resources already to find you so be discreetly with your movements.'' And Ares was right. Percy was in his basement with a sledgehammer beating his way into the solid concrete where his old companions lay resting. A big metal box appeared which he opened and there they lay. His ancient sword Riptide and the shield his half-brother Tyson had made. Still in top condition waiting to see battle again. But they wouldn't see battle soon. They would only see a double murder of revenge. ''well hello there old friends. Let's get to work shall we?'' Percy whispered.
