I own nothing sadly, PM me if you have questions, and mist importantly, enjoy this chapter! Just so you know, I'm going to either make a sequel to this, or make it longer. What do you think?

Percy's POV

A sudden gust of air blew into my room, which was strange since I have no windows and the door leads into a dusty hallway. I shielded my eyes from the dirt swirling around with my hand. When I looked up again, three familiar women stood in front of me.

"My ladies," I spoke respectfully as I stood and bowed.

"Perseus," Athena coldly replied while Hecate gave me a glare. Hestia looked at me with a kind smile, immediately warming me up on the inside.

"What can I do for you ladies?" I asked.

"Did you battle Atlas?" asked the wisdom goddess. I nodded.

"Did you win? Is he back under the sky?" asked Hecate. I nodded.

"Are you okay? Were you injured?" asked the goddess of the hearth. I smiled at her concern.

"He managed to cut me on the eye, but it was nothing serious. I'm mostly fine now."

"Mostly?" Wow, you can't get anything past Hestia.

"Yes, well, the blade had some type of non-lethal poison on it. It left a scar across my eye," I replied. I couldn't meet their eyes.

"Can you heal it?" questioned Hecate. Looks like she's growing a soft spot for yours truly.

"No my lady. Since it was poison, it would not let my heal it. It seems that I soaked into my skin before I could reach enough water."

Athena said nothing. Still as bitter about my relationship as before, I thought. I had hoped we were over this already!

"You have repaid the debt to me Perseus. You are free from my possession," Hecate told me.

"Thank you Lady Hecate. This means much to me. Thank you for making those potions to let me speak with my dead friends and to protect my parents," I thanked the goddess.

"Perseus, you are almost free of my possession as well," Athena informed me. "You must prove that you love my daughter somehow and that you will not go against me whatsoever or go against Olympus, unless it is not of your own free will."

I thought for a moment. Finally, I spoke: "I, Perseus Jackson, swear on the River Styx to love Annabeth Marie Chase forever and that I will never go against Athena goddess of wisdom or Olympus, unless it is against my own free will." Thunder boomed in the background, signaling the closing of my swear.

Athena stared at me for the longest time after that. I started to get worried that she might deny me. Finally, she spoke again.

"Styx has approved of this oath. I do as well. You are free from my possession and I will not stop you from dating my daughter. But if you hurt her..." Athena met that threat hang in the air.

I nodded. "You don't have to worry Lady Athena. I have no plans if hurting her at all in my life if I can help it."

She glared at me as I looked away. A minute later, I looked up and both Athena and Hecate had disappeared. Hestia was still here.

"My lady, what purpose do you have here?" Yeah, I've been trying to talk fancy while confronting gods and people I want on my good side. Thanks again for those vocabulary lessons Annabeth.

"Perseus, please do not call me that while we are alone. While we are on Olympus or in the presence of other gods, call me Lady Hestia. While it is just you and I, I am just Hestia, not Lady Hestia."

I nodded. "I'm sorry Hestia. I forgot again. Old habits die hard," I apologized.

The goddess laughed. "I did come here for a reason though Perseus."

"Hestia, if I don't call you My Lady, please call me Percy," I interrupted.

"Alright Percy. Do you miss Annabeth?" She asked me.

"More than anything. Every moment of every waking day I miss her."

"I can get you to camp faster." Now that's a good offer.

"Is there a catch?" I asked suspicious.

"Not at all Percy."

"Hm... How would you get me to camp faster?" I asked.

"I can flash you there through the fire. You'll appear in the campfire pit and all your bags will travel to your cabin. That is all," explained Hestia.

"Will I get burned? I mean, I appear in a fire!" I exclaimed.

"No Percy," laughed the goddess. "I assure you, you will be fine."

I thought about it for a minute. Hm... Sounds pretty good...

"No catch, no nothing?" I asked again.

"Nothing. No catch."

"Okay, I'll do it," I finally agreed.

"Alright, hold on to your things Percy. I'll check out for you," Hestia told me. I replied with my thanks.

"Ready?" I nodded. Hestia's hands caught fire and she threw it straight at me. I yelped in surprise, to which the goddess chuckled. The fire spread in a circle around me. It blazed up to the ceiling, not even leaving scorch marks.

"Hold onto your limbs!" shouted Hestia.

"Wait, WHAT?!" I screamed. Hestia smiled at me as I felt myself being whisked away from San Francisco. I closed my water-vision eyes and screamed.

It felt like i was fire-traveling forever. I never seemed to get to camp. Finally, I opened my eyes to find myself standing in the middle of a roaring fire. On the outside sat every single camper in Camp Half-Blood staring at me. I did the rational thing.

"Hey everybody," I spoke as I waved. More staring.

I stood there awkwardly for a long time it seemed. In reality, it was probably only a minute or two.

"Jake!" screamed a voice from the crowd. Just like Annabeth said, some of the girls swooned after my name was mentioned. I ignored that. Instead, I rushed towards the daughter of Ares running from the crowd.

"Daisy! How have you been?" I asked.

"I would've been better if you were here! You're my best friend. As the Aphrodite cabin says, you're my BFF, whatever that is!" The little girl exclaimed.

I laughed. "A BFF is your best friend forever, Daisy! Am I your best friend forever?"

"Of course silly! Am I yours?"

"Hm... I don't know about that..." I joked. Daisy punched my in the thigh. For a little girl, she is incredibly strong. "Ok fine, you got me! You are my BFF!"

She laughed. "Where have you been for the last three months?"

I froze. "Three months?!"

"Yeah. It's been three months since I saw you last. Are you okay?" asked Daisy concerned.

"No, no. I'm fine. I'm just grumpy because someone told me it wouldn't take a long time to get here. Instead, it takes three months. Thanks!" I yelled the last part up at the sky. "I should've just taken the plane," I grumbled.

"What do you mean? Where did you go?" Asked a Hermes camper.

Oh yeah. I forgot that they were all staring at me. Oops.

"San Francisco." I didn't explain myself.

A lot of campers stared at me wide-eyed. Most of them hadn't left camp yet.

"Wow, really? Why?" Asked an Apollo kid.

"Alex right? Well Alex, I had to repay a debt to a goddess. Another goddess suggested I go to California to... Repay her. I also had to pay a third goddess as well. The second goddess that I owed nothing to is the one that flashed me here," I explained.

"What did you do to repay the debts?" Asked an Athena boy.

"I... Had to swear an oath in the Styx and... Best someone up. Yeah that's it."

"Who?" Geez, am I getting annoyed with these questions.

"Atlas," I spoke as quietly as I could. Unfortunately, a few campers closest to me heard and passed it around in a ripple affect.

"Did you beat him?" Asked a Hephaestus camper in awe. I nodded.

Suddenly, a camper with blonde hair falling in her eyes pushed her way through the crowd and to me, followed my a lot of complaints.

"Seaweed Brain!" The blonde exclaimed.

"Wise Girl!" I shouted.

My Annabeth ran up and hugged me. We stood there for a minute before I gently pulled away. The daughter if Athena looked at me with hurt evident in her eyes before I pulled her closer to my face, cupping her face in my hands and capturing her like on mine.

Lets just say, I was in heaven. Until the campers ruined that.

"Is that-"

"She said Seaweed Brain-"

"Its him-"

"Pinch me I'm dreaming dude!"

"Its Percy Jackson!"

"Percy-"

"Perseus-"

"Son if Poseidon-"

And so on. You get the concept right? Yeah. You do.

Annabeth and I broke apart. Chiron walked up to us.

"Perseus?" He asked me.

"Hi Chiron," I greeted weakly. He smiled at me.

"Why don't you take off your glasses?" He asked me. Although they couldn't see it, my eyes grew twice as large.

"No thank you."

"Why not? Come on, you said you would for me when you got back!" Pleaded Annabeth.

"I'll do it another time. I think I'll head to bed. Good night everyone." And before anyone could stop me, I was out of there. As much as I love Annabeth and camp, I'm just not ready yet to show them my hideous face yet. Not yet.

I ran to my cabin and didn't even bother to undress. I really was tired. I slumped onto the bed and was out like a light within seconds.
