Percy
As I vapour travelled to my cabin, I couldn't help but feel sorry for my cousins. I knew we were destined for this mission but I never knew it would be this bad. I pulled my hoodie/armour over my head, a black undershirt and also a black skinny jeans. I decided that it would look cool if I walked with my swords on my back I sheathed them in the cases on my back. Finally I put on my necklace. As soon as the necklace was around my neck, I could feel my power boost.
I pushed my feet in my new Air Jordan Retros and exited my cabin. When I got out, I noticed Annabeth was standing on my porch. "Hey", I said.
"Perseus, why did Nico have to treat Thalia like that?" she asked.
"It was necessary that she knew the truth", I replied.
"And you knew about this and didn't tell me?" she asked.
"I am sorry Annabeth but I must leave now", I said. I didn't wait for her response, I just walked off instead. As I walked I noticed that the camp was in a glum mood. I made my way to the forest to see the Olympians, Jason and the hunters already there. After I arrived, Nico followed shortly.
When Nico arrived, the hunters aimed their bows at him. "You shall suffer the most for what you did to my half sister you disgusting piece of shit", Artemis yelled.
"You shall not speak of my son like that or you shall feel my wrath", Uncle H yelled.
"It's okay father, I deserve it", Nico said. The hunters and Artemis looked taken back by his response but they nevertheless glared at him.
"Okay so Nico first then Percy and Jason", Zeus said before snapping his fingers. As soon Zeus snapped everyone except for the hunters and Nico appeared in the throne room. I noticed some of the gods had popcorn and soda as they waited for the show to start. Suddenly a huge flat screen TV began to float where everyone could see them.
I watched as I saw Nico summon some skeletons to guard the flag. After he was satisfied with the number of skeletons he summoned, he waited for the game to start. The scene shifted to the hunters as they divided themselves up. When they were finally finished getting ready, the horn blew. The screen then split in two as both parties advance. They immediately found each other but Nico left them to his warriors as he advanced.
"See Hades your coward of a son is running", Artemis announced. Hades glared at her before returning his focus to the game. When everyone looked at the TV, Nico was standing at the creek where the hunters' flag was. Nico summoned his bow and began to take out each hunter with a single shot.
"Wow lil sis, I never thought I would see the day when a child of Hades would best your hunters at archery", Apollo announced. Artemis was too shocked while Hades was cracking up with laughter. He even took a picture of Artemis's face. When all the hunters were down, Nico took the flag and crossed the creek. When Nico won the game, he was flashed into the throne room and I was flashed out. I assumed the hunters were all taken care of so awaited the signal for the beginning of the game.
When the horn blew, I took up the flag and made my way to the creek. Now all of you are probably thinking I am crazy but I had a plan. As I bolted to the creek, I noticed that I hadn't come across any hunters yet. When I arrived at the creek, I smiled when I saw all the hunters gathered around the flag.
"So you actually had the nerve to bring the flag to the creek? Men really are stupid, they don't deserve to live", a hunter announced. I smiled and threw my flag into the creek and took out my dual swords. I gave them a huge grin and then I charged. I summoned a mini hurricane so that their arrows couldn't touch me. When then noticed that their arrows weren't doing any good, they advanced with daggers.
When I saw that they were entering my playing field, I removed the hurricane. As they attacked me I realized that they really sucked at close combat. As a result I sheathed my swords and began to disarm them with my hands. When they were disarmed, I willed the water to take their weapons away. After their daggers were gone, they took out their bows once again.
I decided to end this so I drowned them with the water from the creek as I took up their flag and walked across the creek. As soon As I walked across the creek, the horn blew and I was flashed back into the throne room.
Jason
When Percy was flashed into the throne room I was flashed out and the game was restarted. I electrocuted my flag and waited for the horn to blow. When the horn blew I ran into. In a time span of ten minutes, I found the hunters that were on the offence. I didn't want to fight so I just zapped them with lighting and continued running.
I stopped when I reached the creek because I had expected them to be there. I crossed the creek and continued running. As soon as I crossed the lake, I realized my mistake as a volley of arrows came towards me. I took tapped my watch and it turned into a shield. The shield was Imperial gold and it had a lightning bolt on the front.
I used my shield to protect me from their arrows as I sent bolts of lightning where the arrows came from. Eventually the archers were all knocked out so I continued my search for the flag. After running a couple more miles, I finally found the flag. I noticed that it didn't have a guard so I took it up.
"Drop the flag or die filth", a hunter said. I raised my eyebrow at the hunter.
"Haven't you girls learnt your lessons yet?" I asked. Instead of replying she released a couple arrows. Deciding that she was a waste of my time, I lightning travelled behind her and ran towards the creek. As soon as I crossed the creek, the conch horn blew and I was flashed back into the throne room.
Piper
After lunch Annabeth and I managed to carry Thalia to her cabin. We placed her on her bed and she began to cry even more if that was possible. Annabeth got up and said she was going to ask Percy about what happened. After Annabeth left, I made the mistake of turning on the TV. When the TV was switched we saw Nico waiting for Capture the Flag. As soon as Thalia saw her ex-boyfriend, she started to scream.
I quickly switched off the TV and decide that talking would be a better way to cheer up my best friend. "Cheer up Thalia, life will get better. This is just the storm but at the end of every storm there is a rainbow", I whispered.
"That's the same thing you said with Luke and I thought Nico was my rainbow but he was another storm", she uttered in between sobs. "At least you still have your boyfriend", she added.
"I don't think I will for long though", I replied.
She wiped away her tears and asked, "Why?"
"Well he has not looked or even talked to me since he got back from that meeting", I replied.
"That's the same way Nico treated me when he came back", she replied sadly. We sat in silence until Annabeth came in with a very confused face.
"What did Percy say?" Thalia asked.
"He said that it was necessary that you knew the truth", Annabeth whispered.
"This just doesn't make any sense, I am positive that they love us. There must be something else", I said.
"Wait what do you mean by us?" Annabeth asked.
"Well Percy told us once that he liked you", I replied.
Annabeth smiled and asked, "Really?"
"Yeah but something fishy is happening so don't get your hopes up", I said. Her smile transformed into a frown while she nodded. Annabeth face then transformed once again but this time she was thinking.
"Piper do you remembered what your mother told us last night?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah she said that we going to be heartbroken soon and that we should not hold grudges against the boys", I said.
"She also said that father would be angry if she said anymore", Thalia added.
"Yeah so that means something happen yesterday which is making them leave us. I think it has got to do with the prophecy especially the part about uniting two camps", Annabeth said. We all nodded and then we agreed to wait until things revealed themselves. I looked at the time and realized that it was lunch time.
I told the girls and together we made our way to the dining pavilion. As we entered the pavilion we immediately noticed that the Big Three and Artemis was there. We separated as we went to our tables. The food today was exquisite; I mean it felt as if we were at a five star restaurant. When I was finished eating I asked Lacy who won the game.
To say I was shock would enormous understatement. I knew the boys were strong but I seriously didn't think they would be able to take on the hunters and win by themselves. I was brought out of my train of thought as Mr. D stood up.
"Hello brats, I am standing before you guys to officially introduce the new camp leaders and the new camp government. Our government will now go like this: the counsellors from the cabins of the minor gods will report to a counsellors of the Olympian cabins, the Olympian counsellors will bring up these matters when there is a council meeting in the big house which will now be every Sunday starting tomorrow at 9 and finally the leaders of the camp will no longer share the same amount of authority. The leader with the most authority will b called the head counsellor and the other will be called the deputy head counsellor. The head counsellors shall have the same amount of authority as Chiron while the deputy will be below them when it comes to a disagreement. When both are in agreement then they may overpower Chiron. Now without wasting anymore of my time I give you your head counsellor Perseus Jackson and his deputy Nico Di Angelo", Dionysus announced.
When Mr. D was finish talking, he sat down while the boys got up. "Good afternoon fellow campers, I hope you enjoyed your meal", Percy announced.
"Just get to the point please", Luke yelled. When I looked at him, he was fuming.
"Okay so there is a new threat coming so camp will be changing. I will be taking over the sword fighting class while Nico will assist in archery and sword fighting", Percy announced.
"That's unfair, the camp rules clearly state that the current teacher must be defeated before he loses his position", Luke shouted.
"Fine, we will fight next week Monday", Percy replied.
"Jason please come here", Nico said. Jason got up and for the first time since the meeting he looked at me with a blank expression. I immediately recognized that Nico had the same face when he broke Thalia's heart.
"Jason and I will be leaving camp for an unknown period of time. We will be leaving tomorrow at dawn so we will not be present at the meeting", Nico announced.
"Wait, why did you take up the leader position if you were just going to leave? Are you really that power hungry and selfish", Thalia shouted. When Thalia was finished talking she walked up to Nico and gave him her right hand two times across his face. The Olympians flashed away as the tension in the room grew. Everyone was literally on the edge of their seats in anticipation. Some even had their weapons ready to fight.
Nico seem to be registering the pain he was feeling as his eyes showed various expressions. But the one that really caught my eye was regret. He eventually regained his composure and glared at Thalia. Thalia returned the glare before slapping him again. This time Nico just shadow travelled away.
After Nico left, Jason walked over to me and gave me a letter. When I opened the letter, my heart was obliterated. It said:
Dear Piper
I have realized that you are not the one for me for I have been cheating on you ever since we began dating. I always knew that you were a daughter of Aphrodite so I assumed you would be like you mother and be easy to get in bed. To be honest that was the only reason I dated you and when I discovered you weren't willing I wanted to break up with you. The only reason we lasted several months was because you helped us get closer to Thalia but since our mission is over I have no more use for you. So long story short,WE ARE Over.
Sincerely your ex-boyfriend,
Jason Grace
The Supreme Commander of Olympus
As soon as I read the letter for the second time, I began to sob. Annabeth and Thalia eventually came over and asked what happened. I gave them the letter and then they tried to comfort me.

If you have any Beta related comments, questions, or concerns, just let me know!
Please vote on my poll, it's very important. It's about who will join the hunters of Artemis.
So some of you guys may be wondering two things. Will there be Percabeth, Jasper and Thalico in the future? Yes in like 4 more updates
Why haven't I updated my other story yet? Well to be honest I am getting so much ideas for this story but I kinda have writer's block for the other. I write something but then I think it doesn't make any sense or it isn't good enough. So the February deadline still stands for the Assassins of the Big Three.
