Chapter 4
Percy walked down the streets of New York, contemplating what had happened in the past few weeks. It had all started with that new kid of Posiedon, Daniel.
Flashback
A new kid stumbled into camp. "Hi, I'm Daniel." As he said that, a glowing green holographic trident appeared over his head.
"All hail Daniel, son of Posiedon, Earthshaker and all that stuff." Chiron had said. He had placed Daniel in Cabin 3 with Percy.
Through the next few days, Daniel had tried to gain the trust of everyone at camp, but his charm failed on Percy.
Daniel was enraged, and turned the whole camp on Percy, spreading lies, rumors, and doing other horrible things.
Soon all Percy's friends turned against him, except Nico, Clarisse, Chris, and Annabeth, or so it seemed.
Percy was walking down the beach, as the ocean was his only escape from the hatred. He heard kissing noises over the hill, but didn't bother until he saw a blond ponytail.
He moved closer only to see Daniel and Annabeth kissing. He heard Annabeth saying something.
"Oh you mean, Percy? Pfft. He is such a loser, and nothing compared to you. In fact, I was planning to break up with him at dinner today!"
Percy was heart-broken. He knew that the time was right to reveal himself. "Really Annabeth? I fell into freaking Tartarus for you, and this is how you repay me? By cheating on me with him?!"
Annabeth looked up. "Percy! This isn't what it looks like! I promis-". But it was too late. Percy ran down the beach, not looking back. He ran and ran, all the way to Sally Jackson's apartment. When he got there, he was terrified and enraged at what he saw.
Sally and Paul were lying dead on the ground, with an empousa standing over them. Percy screamed with rage and slashed Riptide through the monster, who turned to dust.
He looked at their bodies one more time and then fled out the door, as he couldn't stand to look at them anymore.
Flashback End
Percy walked to the end of the Hudson River, and sat there. All of a sudden, a voice came out of nowhere.
"Percy Jackson, my son." Percy started and glanced around. "Dad? Posiedon?" The voice cackled.
"It is not Posiedon dearie, it's your mother." Percy looked even more startled. "Mom? I thought you were dead!"
"Sally Jackson was never actually your mother," the voice revealed. "It was I, Chaos! who birthed you (AN: I'm keeping Chaos feminine in this fanfic, as research is not helping) and gave you to Sally as her child to raise."
"B-but-""None of that, my child. Come, follow me." And he did.
Gods POV:
Zeus thundered around the Olympian throne room. "Unconcievable! One of the most powerful demigods to live, gone! Without a trace!"
Aphrodite timidly raised her hand, unwilling to interrupt Zeus' fit. "I think I know why he's gone, but I don't know where,"
"A clue? Aphrodite! Why didn't you tell me!" Zeus grumbled. "What did you see? What happened? Why?"
"Well, you know the new kid Daniel? I saw Annabeth cheating on Percy with him. HE'S BREAKING UP PERCABETH!" By that point, Aphrodite was seething mad and trying to kick the nearest god (Posiedon) in the face.
Athena snorted. "Please, Annabeth has enough common sense to not cheat on Percy. I mean, he fell into Tartarus for her."
Zeus looked confused. "Maybe we should check Camp Half-Blood first." The gods all teleported to the camp.
All the campers were doing their normal activities like nothing had happened. Posiedon looked shocked. "The most powerful demigod in the world right now just disappeared, and you are all just doing nothing?!"
A camper looked up, bored. "Who, you mean Percy? Oh. He may have saved the world, but he was insulting us all the time back at camp."
"What?! Who told you those lies?!" Posiedon yelled. The camper squeaked. "Y-your son, Daniel, sir."
By then a huge crowd had gathered around, complaining about Percy and all the things he had done.
"Perhaps we should see for ourselves what is going on." Zeus swiped his hand through the air and made a magical screen appear.
The screen played through all the times Daniel had framed Percy for something, spread lies, rumors, or other things.
Soon the campers looked horrified, at what Daniel had done, and what they had done to Percy.
"What are we going to do?!" They cried, feeling truly sorry.
Zeus scratched his chin thoughtfully. "We need to send out a search team. Posiedon, watch the seas, and Artemis, take your hunters and comb the country."
Artemis snapped out of her daze. She had been daydreaming about Perseus Jackson. She had always though bad about men, after all, she had terrible past experiences with them.
But Perseus was different. He was kind, caring, trustworthy, and competent. Perseus was something special, and on the inside, she was dying to see him again.
It wasn't just his personality though. His raven black hair, his sea green eyes, his toned muscles, Artemis could see why he was the focus of so many girls' eyes.
"Artemis, artemis, ARTEMIS!" Zeus snapped. "Focus!" Artemis blinked. "Yes, Father."
Quickly, Zeus assigned positions to all the gods, who all looked very determined, and not in the least inconvenienced, not even Hera.
They quickly scoured the country, but no one found any trace of him.
Third Person Percy POV:
Percy swished and slashed with Riptide, jabbing at training dummies, trying to get used to his new wings.
Yup, wings. Being a child of Chaos had its perks. Not only that, but he also got the opportunity to raise all of his dead friends, and they could have magic powers too. (Even though Hades and his descendants should have been the only ones who could do that.)
Chaos, actually, only gave him his powers, and then said "she had work to be done elsewhere." Whatever. He got wings!
He soared out of the arena and landed by the nearest body of water. He stared into the murky depths, which reminded him of all that he had lost.
A tear hit the water, just as a certain auburn haired, silver wearing goddess tramped out of the bushes.
"Perseus?" the goddess had squeaked, just as he had exclaimed "Artemis?" They exchanged glances and both asked, "What are you doing here?"
They both explained their stories, and Artemis asked Percy if he would be the guardian of the hunt, even though he was male. He accepted, and she gave him partial immortality.
A while later, they fell in love, and had little Pertemis baby.
