Hey mama you know I love you so and I never let you go

Percy left the camp after that. He couldn't find Piper anywhere and as much as he wanted to continue searching for her he knew he had some amends to make. He needed to go inform very important people he was alive. He had missed them and it wasn't fair that they still thought he was gone. He couldn't believe he had forgotten of them and he felt terrible about it. As much as he worried for Piper he knew she could wait and he had to go fix things and check up on his parents.

Percy stood outside of his mother's apartment nervously. His bag slung on his back and Mrs. O'Leary stood a little ways away protectively. Percy felt nauseous as he looked at the door numbly. How would she react when she saw him? Surely Poseidon told her what happened to him? Would she be mad when she saw him? Would she think he was a traitor like everyone else did? The thought made tears prick his eyes but he brushed his thoughts of doubt aside. His arms felt like concrete as he tried to lift them and knock on the door, his mouth was dry and knees felt weak. He had been back on earth for a few months and he hadn't even visited his mom or called to tell her he was okay. Guilt wracked his body as his eyes bore on the door. What would he say to her? Apologize for not coming sooner?

He absolutely adored his mother, he loved her and it was unexplainable. She was always there for him even when he would get in trouble with Gabe and get her harmed. He was a problem child and constantly got in trouble and kicked out of several schools. She never loved him any less or put another man above him, he was always her top priority. She was beautiful to him, even in tartarus he would think of his mom. As he rot in his cell he imagined them baking blue, chocolate chip cookies together. Her warm smiles would keep him going and her laugh would make him grin. She was his personal angel and he wished he had been a better son. She deserved better. He acted foolish by hardly thinking of her when he escaped tartarus. He wanted her to be proud of him and he had messed up so much, she supported him so much even when he constantly screwed up.

He hesitantly raised his arm and could feel his arms shake slightly in nervousness. He lightly tapped on the door and took a step back. He needed to see his mother.

"I'll get it!" He remembered that voice. He wet his lips and the tears returned to his eyes. He could smell cookies baking and he swallowed thickly as he fought back even more tears. He straightened up and brushed off his clothes trying to look his best. He ran a hand through his hair he knew he looked scruffy. His hair was still untamable and he had five o'clock shadow. He wore a baggy t-shirt and cargo pants. His heart sped up as the door opened.

There she was. She was beautiful as ever as her wavy, black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her smile was radiant as she looked at him warmly,"Hello is-" She froze and her smile disappeared as she stared at Percy in shock. Her green eyes widened and her mouth fell open in disbelief. Percy was terrified, he couldn't read her facial expression, was she happy to see him or upset?

Percy gave her a weak smile and his mother just stood rooted to the spot. He became ridged, he didn't dare move incase his mother didn't want him there. He inhaled and refused to breathe as she took a step closer to him.

"P-Percy is that really you?" She murmured as she looked at him in awe.

Percy let out a shaky breath and a forced smile,"Hi mom." Tears streamed down her face and before he knew it she had wrapped him in a bear hug. She was sobbing into his shirt and her arms were around his waist. Percy didn't hesitate to throw his arms around her shoulders and bury his face into her shoulder. Tears flowed from his eyes rapidly as he cried silently. He couldn't believe he was finally seeing his mother again. He cradled her lovingly, through everything he could always depend on his mom. She didn't seem to care that he was deemed a traitor or that he had been thrown in hell based on everyone's votes.

"My baby boy is back." She cried happily as she hugged him tighter. Percy let out a small laugh, he had to have five or six inches on her, and she still considered him her baby. He absolutely loved it. Spending years being beaten made him crave his mother's embrace and affection. He wanted to be a child again so he could stay home and she would make him soup, tell him stories, and tuck him into bed. Then he could stay with her and she would shelter him from all his troubles. But he knew that was impossible but he pretended that he was a little kid again. Nice and carefree, the only thing he fretted about was untied shoelaces and unfinished homework. The hardest thing he's had to do in his life was math, the most trouble he in got was for damaging school property, and the most pain he's felt was from falling and scrapping his knees on a concrete basketball court.

"I missed you so much." Percy choked and his mom let out a hiccup as she pulled away and cupped his face in her hands. Her, tear filled eyes were bright with mirth as she examined him. She was grinning widely Percy could only look at her with a nearly identical grin. He wanted to let out a scream of relief and joy at seeing his mother.

"I did too...I did too." She breathed. She was trying to memorize the face of her son and had to fight the frown that threatened to overtake her smile. He had light scars on his face and bags under his eyes. Her son had gotten very tall and handsome but he appeared to be burdened with so much anxiety and fear. His eyes held mirth but they seemed duller than they used to be. What had tartarus done to him? She was angry with the gods but at the moment she didn't think of them, her son was finally back for her and that was all that mattered. She had missed him so much and here he finally was. She had nearly given up faith of seeing him again but now that he was back she felt like she could actually loosen up more. Her son was safe now, no more tartarus for him.

"Sally?" A voice called out and Percy perked. Paul. He pulled away from his mother when he saw the man appear. He tackled Paul in a large hug. Paul had been more of a father to him than Poseidon had ever been. He let him drive his car, took him fishing, fought in the war next to him, and took care of his mom and treated her like the queen she was. The man stiffened as Percy hugged him tightly,"Sorry but can I..." He suddenly stopped before wrapping his arms around Percy and embraced him just as tightly. He let out a shaky laugh,"Percy...I'm glad you're finally home." Percy continued letting the tears fall shamelessly because he was actually home. Camp wasn't his home but this apartment was. His mom and Paul were home for him and that alone made his heartbeat even faster out of happiness. He couldn't stop smiling.

"Me too." Percy muttered as he pulled away. He wiped the tears from his eyes and Paul watched him with a large smile, his stepfather had tears in his eyes as well. Paul turned serious and clasped Percy's shoulder,"We uh...heard about what happened. Are you okay?" Percy knew Paul didn't just mean physically but emotionally. Percy wanted to snap at him for asking such a stupid question but Paul was only concerned and he didn't deserve that.

Percy forced a smile,"I'm fine..." His smile became real was he looked at them,"I'm just glad to see my parents again." Paul smiled warmly at Percy, Percy considered him his father. Sally covered her mouth with her hands as she looked at her son in adoration. He was actually back. She didn't want to know about tartarus, she and Paul both knew he was innocent and they wouldn't push him to talk about it. He was here and that was all that mattered. None of them wanted to bring up the bad, it would only spoil the infectious atmosphere.

Sally approached her son and grabbed his hand making Percy smile widely at her. He felt young and dependent on his mother again,"I have a surprise for you." She said enthusiastically as she dragged him through the apartment with Paul behind the two. Percy was happy with how great the apartment looked, everything was well furnished and he could tell that his mother had been living a happy life. He could tell by how she walked proudly in front of him with her tiny hand in his large one. She led him into a small room that had...a cradle in it. Percy's eyes widened as he approached the crib.

Paul grinned widely as he stood next to his stepson,"Beautiful isn't she? Her name is Rose." Percy stared at the child in shock. He had a sister? The baby's eyes were wide open as she looked up at him earnestly. She had bright, hazel eyes and black hair. She let out a gurgle as she stood to her feet. "She's eighteen months and walking." Paul said proudly and he and Sally gauged Percy's reaction. The pale baby girl opened and closed her mouth several times as if trying to find the words to say to Percy before she settled with just looking at him earnestly.

Percy couldn't believe his eyes as the pudgy baby reached out to him with a giggle. She gave him a nearly toothless smile as she clenched and unclenched her fists. He smiled widely at her as he reached down and scooped her into his arms. Rose giggled again and reached to touch his face. Percy looked at her in absolute adoration as he held her close to him.

"Hi Rose." He cooed. He actually had a sister. Alexis didn't count; heck she could die and he wouldn't care. He had a real sister and she was beautiful, she looked just like his mother and she had Paul's eyes. "I'm Percy, your big brother." Percy couldn't believe he had a sister. It was absolutely amazing; he began rocking her in his arms absentmindedly. She snuggled her head into his chest and his grin broadened, he put one hand in her tiny one and she clutched his finger tightly and tired to eat it. Percy let out a laugh and his mother watched him happily, he was absolutely infatuated with his baby sister and she was so glad. As the family stood there none of them mentioned tartarus or Percy being deemed a traitor, they were all too happy that they were reunited. Percy had always been an only child and he was excited to be a big brother, the girl was precious and she was lucky not to be a demigod, no one deserved that fate. Looks like he had another person to fight for, he was thankful for the baby, she gave him another reason to strive to be good. She made him forget about his dilemma with Piper.

"Percy I'm making cookies." Sally said softly and Percy turned to her earnestly. Rose seemed to perk as well. She began to babble loudly and Percy chuckled, he could barely understand what she said. She dropped Percy's hand and was now toying with his shirt and tugging at it while kicking her feet excitedly and wiggling like a worm. Percy held on tighter as she danced in his arms eager for cookies.

"Are they blue?" He asked excitedly as he felt his childish side overcome him. He hadn't felt that side of him come out in such a long time and he relished the small feeling of naivety that he used to have. He knew too much but he was pretending to be a kid again. He missed this, seeing his mother, and he loved having a father who didn't abandon them or accidentally get turned to stone by Medusa's severed head. He couldn't help but feel elated, him and his mom had a larger family now and it was amazing. It used to be only them but then Paul jumped in and Rose was born.

His mother bit her lip,"No...I haven't made them like that since you-" She stopped abruptly as tears filled her eyes and she clenched her jaw,"It isn't fair!" She yelled,"They had no right to take you away from me! You were innocent I know you were!" She deflated and covered her face in her hands. Percy was quick to put Rose in Paul's arms and go to his mother's aid. He embraced her crying form and rested his chin on her hair. He was shocked by her angered outburst but he had had many himself. He had seen a lot of things but he couldn't stand seeing his mother cry. It was the worst feeling in the world; she was the one who was always strong for him. Now he would have to be strong for her, he wished he had come to see them sooner. Maybe if he had caught a glimpse of Rose sooner he wouldn't be so angry at the world now. Paul rocked the baby quietly as he looked at his step son and wife sadly, Sally hadn't been the same when Percy was banished, she had fallen into a deep depression and he didn't blame her. He was rather upset about the entire ordeal as well. But that was her baby who was thrown into hell making it far more personal for her.

"It's okay mom...I'm here now." Percy whispered and his mother let out a shaky sob before nodding her head.

"You're right...I'm sorry." She rasped as she leaned upwards and kissed her son's forehead. He smiled as she wiped her tears away, he wasn't going to let his mom be upset today, who knew if he'd see her again after the war and he was going to visit her as much as he could. He was going to make sure today was a great day for her.

"Its okay mom, the gods are jerks anyway. Its not a big deal, I'm here now." He reassured her and she smiled softly at her son.

"Yes...you are." She chuckled before she grabbed his hand again,"Come on let's go make some blue cookies again. You're telling Rose, Paul, and I everything you've been up to since you got back." Sally insisted and Percy paled, he didn't have much good news to tell her.

-Line Break-

"Piper would you like some more coffee?" Aphrodite asked her daughter politely. The goddess had bright, blonde hair and wore jean shorts and a cute top. Piper was dressed somewhat similar to her mother. They both looked gorgeous and caught the attention of many men and women as they walked by.

Piper sullenly nodded her head as the goddess snapped her fingers,"Thanks." She muttered. The two sat in a coffee shop somewhere in New York. Yes Piper was thrilled that her mother wanted to spend time with her but she was still upset about her break up with Percy. Of course he didn't exactly know they were over, she couldn't confront him about it yet she was still mad about the situation. It shouldn't have ended like that, when she saw him he seemed irrationally angry but he never met her gaze. He acted like he knew they had broken up and blamed her. But that wouldn't make sense. In fact he didn't even acknowledge Annabeth's existence.

"So how was your day?" Aphrodite asked as she tapped her nails on the table. Piper sighed and leaned back in the booth tiredly; after she saw Annabeth kiss and fall asleep with Percy she hadn't been able to sleep a wink last night. She still loved him; she couldn't deny that, she couldn't understand where they went wrong. She thought they had been doing fine despite his insanity driven thoughts towards Alexis. What did Annabeth have that she didn't? "Piper?" Her mother's voice jolted her back to reality and Piper jumped in surprise.

"What?" She asked sheepishly as she looked down at her coffee in embarrassment. She was finally meeting her mother, she couldn't blow it, and despite her barely knowing the woman she wanted to make her proud. Her father didn't have time for her but her mother, the love goddess, did which made her overjoyed.

"How was your day?" Aphrodite repeated slowly as her kaleidoscope eyes assessed her daughter.

Piper huffed,"Oh great, just last night I got out of a relationship with a guy I really liked. Other than that great." She snorted sarcastically and Aphrodite laughed making Piper's eyes widened. Her laugh was so hypnotic and it was beautiful.

"Piper, just push Percy from your mind! We're going to have fun today!" Aphrodite soothed and Piper nodded slowly. She was right, she couldn't mope about because of Percy. She would talk to him about it more later seeing as he didn't know they were over. He was probably worried as to why she wasn't at camp. Or maybe he was with Annabeth? The thought made her bitter but she brushed it aside as she tried to brighten up.

"Okay!" She took a sip of her coffee and shifted in her seat nervously. She had to make her mom proud, if she couldn't get her dad's love maybe she could get her mom's. Aphrodite smiled at her before resting her chin on her hand.

"How's camp treating you?" She asked in concern and Piper sighed before taking another gulp of the burning liquid. It burned her tongue and throat but she didn't care, the coffee was pretty great.

"Like crap. My alleged sisters are jerks and the camp treats me like another Aphrodite girl! Apparently we're ditzy!" She spat angrily,"And its insulting! Guys hit on me expecting me to be brainless and girls will gossip about me and judge me for being the daughter of the goddess of beauty!" She said in fury as she looked at her mother in slight anger. "Being there is a joke! All they do is judge me and stereotype me! None of them know me but they treat me like another pretty face!" She snapped and missed her mother's smirk.

The love goddess wore an angered expression as well,"Your sisters are just jealous. This is ridiculous! Trust me when I say I know." She growled and Piper raised an eyebrow.

"You do?" She figured her mom had things perfect as a goddess. But as she looked at the indignation in her mother's eyes she knew she assumed wrong.

"Of course I do! None of the gods respect me because all I do is make love and whatnot! They don't know how powerful I am! Piper they underestimate us and I won't stand for it!" She sniffed as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.

Piper took another drink of her coffee before rubbing her temples tiredly,"As much as I'd love to show them how wrong they are there's nothing I can really do. I need more fighting practice." She felt so hopeless, no one treated her with any respect at the camp and it was infuriating.

Aphrodite smirked and leaned closer to Piper,"What if I told you that you could get gain their respect easily?"

Piper tilted her head to the side,"How?" Her fingers tapped on her mug absentmindedly as she looked at her mother curiously.

Aphrodite looked around cautiously before continuing,"Join me and Gaea."

Piper frowned,"Who?"

Aphrodite put a hand over her daughter's reassuringly,"Hear me out before you get upset. Gaea is who the gods are fighting against. But she promised me that I would rule over the gods. You would be at my side and we'd finally get some respect!" She gushed excitedly,"We would worshipped and everyone would love us!"

Piper moved away from her as she looked at her in horror,"No! Why would you do that! Gaea obviously is no good! Mom you're making a mistake...you can't betray your family-"

Aphrodite looked enraged,"None of them love me! Not even Ares! Tell me Piper, why should I fight for people that barely acknowledge me? Surely you understand?" Piper froze and Aphrodite's lips curled into a smug smile as she wrapped her blonde hair around her finger,"Why should you remain loyal to the camp? Sure Jason, Thalia, and Leo are somewhat your friends but what about Percy? You loved him and look what he does to you in return!" She exclaimed and Piper gritted her teeth as she glared at her mother.

"Shut up." She hissed. Her mother's words were poisoning her and she couldn't allow that. What happened between Percy shouldn't cause her to join her mother. It wasn't a good enough reason. But the more she thought about it the more she wondered what would happen if she joined her mom. She barely had anyone to remain good for especially since Percy chose Annabeth over her and she somewhat hated him for that.

Aphrodite grinned,"He's still infatuated with that daughter of Athena. I guess you weren't good enough-"

Piper banged her fist on the table loudly making the dishes clank,"I said shut up!" She yelled angrily and everyone in the cafe looked at them but she could care less. She didn't want to bring up Percy ditching her for the blonde, the pain was still fresh and it made her feel sick. She wasn't good enough for him.

Aphrodite covered her hand over Piper's fist and gave her a sympathetic look,"Piper its okay! You have to have more faith in me okay? I was there for you when you broke down, I've been here for you more than your father has recently. I won't ignore you when you need me. Just call on me okay?" She sighed before wetting her lips,"Just think about it Piper, you can make Annabeth pay for willingly being with Percy when you were with him. You can punish Percy as well, or get him to be back together with you. Whatever you want! It's certain Gaea will win so why not join the winning side? Show everyone that the children of Aphrodite are more than pretty faces. Piper, you are so powerful, much more powerful than your sisters. You can convince Percy to join too if you want!" Aphrodite said persuasively. She knew exactly what she was doing. She delivered the killer line,"I've watched you grow up Piper and you've made me so proud! Make me even more proud."

Piper blanched as she thought more of it. Her mother extended this offer of power and confessed how much she loved her. It would also be the perfect opportunity to get back at Annabeth for ruining everything. She made her mother proud? The thought made her slightly ecstatic, why not join her? She could actually have a parent who wanted to be with her and showed her some affection and would give her attention. Maybe she could even win her dad back so he'd spend time with her again! She let her selfish desires overcome her as she thought more and more about the benefits. She could become more powerful, she was sick of being deemed insignificant by others and always needing to be saved. She wanted be strong enough to protect herself and no one would doubt her abilities again and she wouldn't feel so inferior anymore. She then thought back to Percy, she would be a traitor, the very thing he despised. But why should she care? She thought bitterly, he cheated on her anyway so no matter what she did he would never deem her worthy enough.

"I...can I think about it?" She asked as she twiddled her thumbs anxiously,"It sounds like a pretty good deal...but how am I more powerful than my sisters?" She looked up at Aphrodite curiously,"And what's Gaea's goal? Why does she want to fight the gods?" She needed to hear more about this before she made a decision.

Aphrodite clapped her hands in delight,"You have some of the most powerful charmspeak! You underestimate yourself Piper, why I bet you can control Percy Jackson! He's a tough one to crack but I'm sure you'll get him. Gaea merely want's her rule of the world back or whatever," Aphrodite snorted,"but nothing bad is to come. She just wants control again." Piper nodded slowly, switching sides to Gaea sounded almost harmless. The woman only wanted her position of power back.

"You won't hurt any of my friends right?" She asked skeptically. She was starting to buy into what her mother was saying.

Aphrodite wore a plastic smile that went unnoticed by Piper,"Of course not." She was thrilled her daughter had so easily taken the bait. Bringing up Annabeth, her pride for Piper, Percy, and power was enough to make her irrational. She had her daughter hooked and she knew it. For good measure she leaned closer to her daughter and grinned.

They were nose to nose and Piper felt uncomfortable,"What are you-" Her mother's eyes turned a light green and Piper froze before staring into them dumbly.

Aphrodite let out a giggle,"So easy! You were so easy to convince!" She cheered before smirking widely,"You want to get Percy to join us don't you?" Aphrodite purred and Piper nodded vacantly,"You're loyal to us as well correct?" Aphrodite stated and Piper nodded again. Aphrodite leaned backwards in satisfaction,"And you'll do anything to get Percy to fight for us now won't you?"

Piper froze momentarily before speaking,"Y-Yes?" It was more of a question and Aphrodite clenched her fists at her will power to her charmspeak.

"You will." She said slowly and firmly. Percy was the key to their army; having such a powerful demigod by their side would serve them well. Nemesis had trained the boy well and he could convince those loyal to him to join him also. He had powerful connections, Thalia, Jason, Leo, Nico, and Annabeth. Though he was mad at his traitors Aphrodite knew they would be more susceptible to follow his wishes because of guilt. Everything was falling into place and she was ecstatic.

Piper nodded,"I will." She repeated and Aphrodite patted the top of her head condescendingly. She cared little for her daughter, her daughter was powerful however, she was completely lying about her position of power. The love goddess didn't plan on sharing her power. She wanted to laugh at the thought of being proud of Piper, yes her daughter was strong mentally and physically but she was so self-conscious. A good child of Aphrodite radiated confidence and Piper lacked that making her a lot less desirable. She did feel the girl's pain when it came to being easily overlooked but other than power and wishes the two had nothing in common. The daughter of Aphrodite couldn't even dress appropriately in cute attire for Hades sake. She felt little to no love for the girl, she only came into this world because of her attractive father. She barely loved any of her children, but she did pride herself in being so beautiful and making more gorgeous beings on the earth.

"Good girl! I'm so proud of you!" She said softly and Piper blinked rapidly before grinning at her mother widely. She suddenly felt compelled to get Percy to join Gaea as well.

"Thanks mom." She murmured excitedly.

The love goddess stood up and pulled Piper to her feet,"Come on! I'm taking you shopping!" Aphrodite sang happily and Piper frowned.

"Uh that actually sounds like it sucks." She said bluntly and her eyes widened, she prayed she didn't offend her mother.

Aphrodite laughed in a carefree manner,"Nonsense! You'll love it!" She declared before dragging Piper out of the coffee shop. Despite her hatred for shopping Piper couldn't help but smile, she hadn't had a good time with an adult figure for quite a while and it felt good. She liked having a mom.

Percy had left his mother's nice apartment with a kiss, a picture of Rose, a hug from Paul, and a belly filled with blue cookies. He had left out a lot about what he's been doing when he got out of hell. He only told them key points, meeting the McLean's, going to school temporarily, and going back to camp to fight in a war. He had quickly changed the subject and listened in fascination as they explained their lives.

His mother had written a book and it was doing pretty well...but he had forgotten the name of it. Paul had scored a raise and he was a teacher so Percy had no idea how he pulled that off. Rose was planned and she adored Percy. He held her nearly the entire time and when his mother had given him a picture of her he was thrilled. He wouldn't get to see Rose for a while so that would be nice to look at occasionally. He needed someone else to keep him sane. As he sprouted lie after lie about him doing great now he didn't feel bad whatsoever because he saw how pleased his parents seemed at his wellbeing. He didn't want to worry them more than he already had and he was glad he left out his acts of insanity. His mom didn't need to know of his inner demons and evil deeds.

He still couldn't erase his smile as he sauntered up to Mrs. O'Leary. The hellhound was wagging her tail excitedly and before he could climb on her to leave a loud crack was heard and Percy whirled around to see a girl standing there. She had dark brown hair and light brown eyes, she wore a purple cape and was barehanded as she slowly approached him. She stood tall showing she thought she was superior. Percy raised an eyebrow and leaned against his hellhound unimpressed while crossing his arms over his chest.

"If you're a monster of some sort I really don't have time for this." But he would dispose of it anyway. It was far too close to his mother's home for his liking.

The girl snorted,"I am no monster boy-"

He snapped his fingers and stood up straight with a grin,"Oh! You're a hunter! Hunters always call me boy...even when they know my name." He muttered the last part. He was far too ecstatic to be worried about the girl in the cape.

She sighed in annoyance,"I'm not a hunter either. I am Praetor Reyna and you'll have to come with me." She said stoically and Percy frowned before shaking his head.

"I'm sorry but you have the wrong guy. I need to get back to my camp and you see I suppose you know of monsters and demigods? Yeah well I'm afraid I won't be going with you. Heck I don't even know what a Praetor is!" He exclaimed and his hellhound snarled at the girl menacingly. She eyed the beast warily before glaring at Percy.

"I know who you are! Percy Jackson! Juno sent me to retrieve you!" She snapped as she approached him,"And how don't you know what a Praetor is! You must have been rouge for a long time." She remarked dryly and Percy frowned, Juno? Rogue? What was this Reyna girl talking about?

Percy looked at her angrily,"I said no! I'm not coming with you! I don't care who sent for me but I refuse!" He needed to go back to Piper and straighten things out. Everything was all messed up and he wanted things to go back to normal. Reyna sighed before removing her cloak with ease revealing battle armor and she drew her sword. It was a strange gold color and had weird words on it. He frowned at the sight before his hand went to his pocket and brought out his pen. In his other pocket was the picture of Rose and he touched it absentmindedly before readying himself. He assessed her; she looked quick on her feet which might be a problem. He was clearly stronger but she had speed on her side, he luckily wasn't a slow fighter but she looked extremely agile. He didn't want to underestimate her.

"If you won't come willingly I'll have to take you by force!" She declared furiously and Percy smirked, he could use a good fight, he had been holding in a lot of pent up rage from his break up with Piper and he really needed to let it all out.

He looked at his hound,"I'll summon you later. I want to take care of something okay girl?" He said fondly and she let out a snarl towards Reyna before vanishing. Percy unsheathed Anaklusmos and narrowed his eyes at the girl,"I won't come. I guess you'll have take me by force...if I don't kill you first." He hissed and his green eyes turned a murky grey as he gripped his sword tightly.

Reyna scoffed,"I'd like to see you try!" She ran at him bringing her sword down in a deadly arch. Percy parried it easily and brought his foot up and kicked her stomach. She stumbled backwards but to Percy's surprise she recovered quickly and took a fast swipe at his abdomen. He jumped backwards and made a move to strike but she came at him again. He blocked her sword and felt like something had possessed him. He kicked her left leg out further to the side making her nearly do the splits; he rammed the handle of his sword into her chest making her fall backwards. He leaped into the air to stab her but she was already on her feet and rolled out of his way.

Sweat beaded down her forehead as she glared at him menacingly. He didn't hesitate to run towards her, he faked to the left and she bought it, she was surprised when he created a long gash on her arm. She hissed and took a swipe at him, he ducked and to his irritation she expected this and disarmed him. His sword flew behind him and he blinked, he hadn't been expecting that, she was far more trained than the average camper.

She put her sword to his neck and he threw his hands in the air,"Pathetic. I expected more from you! You're weak but Camp Jupiter will fix that." She sneered and something ignited within Percy at the word weak and pathetic. That's what Kronos called him. His insanity ignited, his rage was fueled, and his morals were burned to ashes as he glared at the girl before him.

He smiled sadistically as he laughed crazily making her eyes widened,"You think I'm weak?" He yelled and laughed again,"I'm pathetic?" He asked before grabbing the flat of her blade and giving it a sharp twist. Reyna let out a cry as her wrist twisted. Percy ripped it from her grasp and threw it behind him. "I'll show you weak!" He bellowed before throwing a hard punch at the girl. Her head snapped backwards and she stumbled before regaining her bearings. She dodged his next one before giving him a shape uppercut his mouth. There was a snap and he reared backwards. Both of the two were bleeding from their mouths and Percy shook himself despite the agonizing pain his jaw was in.

He glared at her murderously as the two slowly circled each other. He had to win this fight, he needed to get back to his friend, and Piper needed him. This seemed to drive him as he sprinted full speed at her. He expected her to duck and he jumped up into the air and kicked out both his feet like a kangaroo would. Reyna's eyes widened and she managed to tilt her head back slightly to avoid a potential knock out. Instead his feet slammed into her chest making her fly backwards. She was winded as she slammed into the ground. Percy fell to the ground but caught himself with his hands so he didn't injure himself from the fall. Percy let out a laugh as he spit blood onto the ground and stalked towards her menacingly. Her chest felt like it'd explode as she staggered to her feet. Blood oozed from her mouth and she found it hard to breathe. She couldn't stop now, she was Roman and they only lost by death.

Reyna pulled out ambrosia and popped it into her mouth. Her chest no longer hurt and her mouth stopped bleeding, she felt refreshed, she needed to beat Percy. If she didn't her reputation would be tarnished. Percy smiled wickedly as he felt his psychotic persona fully take over him. Reyna hated to admit it but Percy somewhat scared her. He acted like he had been living life in a padded room for certain reasons.

"I'd hate to harm such a pretty girl. But this is your last chance, leave me or I'll kill you." He warned and Reyna spat a cuss word at him making him laugh before he came at her.

Guys seriously I need more feedback I don't know if this story is satisfying. And this isn't Percabeth so chill.
