Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Rick Riordan does. BTW This is the only time that something other than the disclaimer will be up here. For the story Percy is refered to as Void but when in private Zoe will call him Percy.

True Feelings

(Void POV)

Flashback (Time from when we left Void to when he was on Half-Blood Hill)

I just couldn't belive this! After all that has happened to me at that place He's sending me back! I don't care if it's a part of my training I don't want to go back! I hate that place and everyone there. The only one and I mean the only one that doesn't deserve my anger is Thaila but only because she had an actual reason for not being there! I sat down and got even angrier. I finally realized that Chaos was right, that this is why I needed to go. He always had a calm and cool demanor and if I didn't replicate that the realm I would represent would suffer for it. I snapped out of my thoughts and into new ones. A thousand years... Time really does fly doesn't it? I know only 2 and a half years passed out there but still I aged until I was about 23 and then stopped. My look changed over that time as well. I now wore a robe like Chaos' and my hair now touched the upper part of my back and bangs came out and just barely covered my eyes. I finally snapped out of my thoughts when Zoe stepped out of her room. She and I had become best friends since she came here. It would've progressed further but her past experiences with men kept her from getting closer. Even after a thousand years she still couldn't do it. We had talked a lot but she was still detached from that one particular saw me obviously sulking and came over.

"Percy are you ok?"

"Not really. I found out that I have to go back tomorrow."

"Where do you have to go?"

"Camp Half Blood. Chaos said I have to learn how to control my emotions. So he figured sending me to a place I hate would help me realize that."

"Percy this may not be the best thing to happen but I agree with him."

"What? Why? How can you agree with him? You know what they did to me. They phased me out like an outcast and used me as a scapegoat to win the war for them. Why do I have to go back?"

"Percy I've seen you have a fit of anger and it isn't good. If you were ruler of the Void it wouldn't be a good thing to have such a demanor. That's why you should go back." When I heard her words I realized just how angry I had gotten and at Zoe of all people! Chaos and Zoe were right. I had to go there no matter what and learn how to control them.

"Zoe you're right. I'm sorry for getting angry at you."

"Percy no matter what you do I would never get angry at you. You are the one thing that kept me sane in Ouranos' realm. When you vanished I started to grow sad and sadder every day. I was about to snap until Chaos came and brought me here. I never knew that I would see you again. I... I-" She couldn't get anything else out as she stared into my eyes. Before I knew what had happened she was kissing me. It was the best feeling I've had in a long time. I felt sparks flowing throughout my body. She was the one I was always meant to be with not that daught er of Athena. She finally pulled away after about three minutes. We just stared at each other before she broke the silence.

"Percy I-"

"No. Don't say anything. I've finally figured out what the connection was Zoe."

"What was it Percy?"

"It was love Zoe. I've finally figured it out. What made me pick you. I... I love you." She was in silence for a few minutes before breaking the silence.

"I love you too Percy." We pulled into a tight embrace for about five minutes before we broke apart. For the first time in a thousand years I had felt better than I ever have. I finally broke the silence to tell her that Chaos said she could come with me. She was happy that she could come and went to her room. I walked into my room before finally realizing how tired I was. I laid on the bed and was out in an instant.

(Time skip- Morning of the next day)

I woke up and started for the door. The events that happened yesterday played through my mind. It wasn't a dream. This was real. I had a chance to be truly happy again. After the daughter of Athena broke up with me I'd felt like I would never be at this point again. Yet here I was. When I entered the training room Chaos was standing in the center. He had a stern look on his face as if this was very dissappointing for him which it probably was.

"Void, are you ready?" I nodded at his question and he teleported Zoe and myself to the top of Half-Blood Hill.

(End Flashback)

It was real. I was back. Every bone, muscle, and fiber of my body told me to turn and run. Run away from the place that caused me so much pain. I had to be here. Chaos sent me here for a reason and I can't let Zoe down. I saw campers approaching us. Chiron who was at the head of the pack asked "Who are you?"

"I am Void, Apprentice to Chaos."
