"Annabeth I wouldn't do that to you."
"Just leave. Go, and don't come back."
"You can't just kick me out of camp half-blood! It's my home as well as yours!"
"Find a new home. Your not welcome here anymore."
"A son who cheats is no son of mine." he said, snapping his fingers. I felt my connections as a son of Poseidon fade.
Rage boiled inside of me. "Dad. My fatal flaw is loyalty. How could I possible cheat on the girl I love?" I asked, hands trembling.
"I don't know. That's why I asked you. Did you not hear me?" He spoke like he was talking to a three year old.
"Fine." I said, and left.
Travis muttered, "Aha! I found it."
I looked to see what he had pulled out of his bag. It was an empty syringe. Why would he be looking for a syringe?
"-n't undertand how some one who has been unconsious for so long, can just, poof, disapear."
That was Chiron's voice.
"Well you better find her, she is a very powerful demi-god as you alredy know."
Zeus? The gods were here?
"Yes lord Zeus, I'm aware of her being a powerful demi-god, but maybe it would help if you told us who her godly parent was?"
"Percy? What are you doing over here, where you spying?" He asked.
"No!" I yelled, becoming angry. "I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Mm... what's that in your hand?" He asked, staring intensely at the orb of night.
"Nothing." I shrugged.
His eyes widened in understanding as he must of realized what I was holding. "Is that the-" he began.
"Yes." I cut him off, and threw it at the ground.
I heard a gasp, and Poseidon half yell half plead, "Percy, wait! Son you can't do this!"
I flinched at the word 'Son' and looked down at where I threw the orb. Where it had hit the ground a portal had formed. I looked up from the portal and straight at my not-so-father's panicked expression. "Actually, yes I can dad," I spat, and jumped right through the portal leaving Poseidon, along with my old life behind.
(Surprise!) Chiron's POV!
It's been three weeks sense Percy and Skylar disappeared. I wonder if they're disappearance is connected? Oh gods, how is Poseidon taking this? Does he even know?
It's not like I can go tell Poseidon and the other gods because once again Olympus is shut down. Only this time I'm informed on the reason why.
Apparently some syringe the gods had hidden at camp was stolen. Why they would hide something so important at a camp full of teenagers that's constantly attacked? I have no idea. I also have no idea why it's so important. I mean, it's a syringe for god's sake!
My mind drifted around as I sat in my wheelchair in the Big House. So much has happened this past month that not even I understand. First Skylar and Percy go missing. Then, I find out some syringe is missing. After that when I go to tell Annabeth and the rest of the Seven, I find out Annabeth had no clue what Percy meant by them being 'over.' Jason, Frank, Hazel and Piper are all still fighting and have somehow managed to start the biggest boy – girl war over something to do about guys being sexist. As if all this wasn't enough? I'm put in charge of figuring out who the missing Skylar's godly parent is.
I went back to the memory of when I had first spoken to Annabeth about Percy disappearing.
-Flashback-
"Annabeth!" I called.
Annabeth looked up from her laptop and smiled before getting up to meet me.
"Hello Chiron, what is it?" she asked.
"I was just wondering, you don't have to tell me, but what happened between you and Percy?" I asked. I was curious to why the cutest couple at camp hand suddenly broken up.
"What do you mean?" Annabeth asked her eyebrows knitting together. "Nothing has happened between us. At least, nothing I know of. I haven't seen him all day."
"What?" I asked confused. "I saw him in the infirmary today and when I mentioned you name he looked at me sadly and said you two weren't together anymore."
She looked taken aback. "W-What?" she whispered.
"Maybe I heard him wrong.." I suggested.
"Maybe. It would explain why he hasn't talked to me all day. Usually he comes by, by now. I don't understand what I did though to make him mad at me. Certainly he isn't one to go and leave me without and explanation. I'm going to go look for him. Bye Chiron." She said, before walking off.
I sighed. 'What's gotten into you Percy?'
(Double Surprise!) Poseidon's POV!
I sat on my throne on Olympus in the throne room, while the other gods and goddesses argued. It was the same thing as ever, Hera reprimanding Zeus about his mortal wives, Hephaestus and Ares fighting over Aphrodite as she applied her hourly pack of make-up, Artemis and Apollo where still having their argument over who was older, Demeter was yelling at Hades over her daughter and how they don't eat enough cereal, and Hermes was talking to his two pet snakes, George and Martha, about how they don't know when to shut up.
"Um, Poseidon? Hello? You there?" Athena's voice spoke.
I looked up towards her throne she was staring at me. "What?" I asked.
"Did you not just hear what I said?" She asked.
"Um… no." I said, looking down.
"Seaweed brain. I said, do you know what happened between Annabeth and Percy before… you know." She faltered towards the end.
Very smart Athena bring up the one thing that tears me to pieces.
"No. Although, there is one thing I didn't tell you guys." I said.
That got the attention of the gods. The all stopped their arguments and looked towards me expectantly.
"You lied to us? I am the king of the gods, now tell me all the truth!" Boomed Zeus.
I looked at all the gods and goddesses faces before replying, "I didn't lie, I just didn't tell you everything."
"Don't sass-" Started Zeus.
"Go on, Poseidon," cut off Artemis.
Artemis was surprisingly hurt to find out that Percy had left. He was the one male that she actually liked, and now he was gone.
I nodded towards Artemis before saying, "The day when he went missing, I felt his presence in the water, but he didn't come visit me like I assumed he would of. I then felt a shock go through me, and then I felt different. I realized I was missing something. Not an object, but like a part of me. I was worried something had happened to Percy so I tried to mind message him and soon realized my connection to Percy was cut off."
There were several gasps.
"You don't think.."
"He wouldn't do that.."
"Would he?"
"But why?"
"Enough!" Zeus boomed. "Poseidon is this all?"
I hesitated. "No. Not exactly. I was devastated. My favorite son had decided to disown himself. I had no idea why, so I decided to go look for him at camp. When I got there and he wasn't in the cabin I noticed some of his possessions missing.
"I headed off to go find Chiron to ask him where he was, when I felt Zeus and Hades enter the camp. I went to see what was going on when I noticed Skylar missing. After Hades, Zeus, Chiron and I's conversation I heard footsteps outside. I went to look and saw Percy retreating from the bushes carrying a bag."
I paused to take a breath and briefly closed my eyes before opening them and continuing. "I assumed he was spying on us and was so angry at him I forgot what had previously happened. He claimed that he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I saw something in his hand so I asked him what it was. He shrugged and said it was nothing but after studying it for a second, I realized what he had."
"What was it?" asked Athena. I could practically feel the gears turning in her head as she added my information to what we already know.
"It was an orb of night. Where it lead to? I had no clue. But when I realized what it was, he threw it on the ground. I tried to stop him, I told him he couldn't do this. And all he did was look up at me and say, 'Yes I can, dad.' Before jumping into the portal.
"He spat the word dad at me like it was a poisoned dagger. It definitely felt like one. I couldn't believe what he had done. I flashed out of there and went back to my palace." I finished, realizing I was now quietly crying.
I looked up at the rest of the gods to see faces full of pity. Somehow that just made me feel worse. I was a god, I didn't need their sympathy.
I sighed and looked up at Zeus. "That's all I know."
Suddenly the doors of the throne room burst open, which was insane because Olympus is closed.
"WHO DARES BREAK INTO OLYMPUS?!" bellowed Zeus.
"Hello Father. Lady Artemis." Thalia came in with a bow to Zeus then Artemis.
Zeus' gaze softened. "Thalia. Why have you entered Olympus? More importantly how? Olympus is on shut down."
"The man at the elevator made an acception." She shrugged.
"You threatened him didn't you?" Artemis asked with poorly hidden amusement.
I couldn't help but smile at that along with the rest of the gods. Everyone knows threatening is dramatic. Typical daughter of Zeus.
"I might have." Thalia said with a sly smile before turning serious again. "But back to the matter at hand, the new Great Prophecy has arrived."
