Chapter 51

To say Piper was shock was an understatement, she was beyond that. She stood in the middle of the store like a statue and her mouth open. She dreamed of this, every moment since they started their relationship she wished for it and now it's finally happening. Her beloved warlord will merry her, joy filled her heart , she was afraid its going to burst. Tears flow out of her eyes.

The lady was pointing at some rings on the glass while Percy listen intently at her, he turn around about to ask Piper's opinion but stop when he saw her crying.

He frowned in confusion

He thought she would be happy with this, he walk to her and put his hands on both of her cheeks then he raise her head. He brush locks of hair away from her face and wipe away tears with his thumb.

"What's wrong? are you not happy with this?" he ask with a slight worry, all he wanted was for her to be happy and now he made her cry.

Her kaleidoscope eyes that he loves so much looks at him, they were glassy from the tears which made them more beautiful.

"I'm happy" she said and sniff

"Then why are you crying?" Percy ask

She buried her face into his chiseled chest "These are tears of happiness my love" she said in muffled voice

He put his hand on the back of her head and wrap his other arm on her back, he hug her tightly not wanting to let go "I would do anything for you, you know that right?"

she nodded in her chest and she sob "I know"

"We may not be able to wear them in the open but I want something that will represent our love for each other and someday wear it for everyone to see"

She had never thought of the future of them getting married and making a family of their own before, she only thought of what tomorrow is going to bring and plot to ensure the survival of their love. The thought of it ever crossing her mind died with their first child, which is even now bring a wound in her heart raw as the first time she had felt it.

She look at his sea green eyes that's usually guarded by cold gaze but now all of his emotions, thoughts, weakness and desires are being parade for her to see. It's as if he's saying this is me, this is what I am.

His very soul is bare for her to see, a soul that is corrupt with darkness, and lust for destruction but... Beneath all of that is kindness, adoration and love that would last an eternity and at the receiving end of those emotions is her. Beneath the dark abyss that seeks to destroy everything around him is the love for her that would always prevail. She have known this, he had told her but she have never realize how much he relies on her, without her he would crumble. The last thing that hold the dark desires inside of him is his lover for her.

Right now Percy is asking her a very important question, one that he had never ask before

"Despite of what I am, of what I have turn into would you still love me?" he ask

she trace the bridge of his nose "No matter what kind of monster you'll turn into, no matter what sins you will commit I would always love you because I know that at the end, you did it for me"

She kissed him "Now, go buy me that ring"

Percy smiled and lean in to her ear "I would love to...Miss Jackson"

a shiver run down her spine and she likes the sound of her new name.


The ceremony was nothing special, after buying the ring Percy took her in a waterfall deep in the forest. Neither of them spoke a word because they have already spoken them to each other many times and would speak them to each other many more times in the future. He put a gold ring that has a diamond in a shape of a Queen's crown and Piper put a similar one but with a King's crown.

They both look at each other's eyes. She felt like she's going to drown of his love for her.

"With this, we are bound to each other, forever" Percy said

She cup his face with her palms and kiss him on the lips. Someday Percy would give her a wedding she deserves and it would be the grandest wedding ever, he promised to himself.

"Now let's get to the Honeymoon shall we?" she said

"Yes, we shall miss Jackson"

Piper laugh happily at her new name


Piper woke with her head on Percy's chest and his left arm wrap around her waist. She blink a couple of times to shook off her grogginess, she doesn't know how long have they been in the room, has it been a day, two days? she doesn't know. All she remember was getting lost in the feeling of pleasure and lust.

She untangle herself from Percy and tried to crawl out of the bed but he wouldn't let her go, he move so that he's on top of her with her back facing him and pin her hands above her head. He kiss her neck then move down tracing her spine.

"Percy" she moan

He come back up and turn her head then kiss her on the lips. then her lips form an o as pleasure shot through out her body.

Percy lay on top of her, both of them breathing hard and sweating.

"I love you" Percy whispered

Piper smiled

She was about to reply but she was interrupted by a knock on the door. She frowned not liking being interrupted on their precious moment. Percy got off her and slid out of the bed, she turn and sat up then covered her naked body with the bed sheets.

He found his boxers then put on his jeans, he walk to the door and open it slightly. He took a peak and one of the hotel worker was waiting outside in the hall. He open the door completely and surprise was evident on the man's face.

Percy raised an eyebrow at that "Is there something you want?"

The man was surprise by Percy's age, for the last three days he had been hearing... erotic noises whether he pass the room but he never expected a teenager was making them. They never left the room since they check in so the manager finally send him to check up on them.

"um, is everything alright sir?" he ask while noticing his sweat

"Yes" he replied, getting annoyed "Is there a problem?"

Noticing his annoyance the man shook his head vigorously "No, no, I hope you enjoy you're stay"

The man said then walk away, as soon as the man turn the corner Percy went back inside and slam the door. Piper was standing up with just a bed sheet covering her naked body then she open the curtain. The bright light assaulted her eyes and she blink to get use to.

"What did they want?" Piper ask

"Nothing" Percy said while looking around the room. The place was a mess, broken light, crack wall, shattered glasses and clothed littering all around.

"Would you like to go outside today?" He ask

Piper nodded while looking at the results of their... Passion

After taking a shower they walk out their room with her arms loop around his. No matter how much she look at him, she would never get tired at the sight.

Percy wore a dark jeans, brown shoes, plain white v neck shirt and a dark blazer.

Piper wore a simple yellow dress that stop above her knees and white high heels.


They spend their time on a pier. They held hands as they look around the area filled with stores and souvenir. The place was pack with people and tourist takes pictures of the golden gate bridge in the background.

Percy pointed at a an taking a picture of a couple with the bridge in the background "You want to take a picture?"

Piper frowned "What for?"

"For memories" he said then drag her towards the photographer with a smile. The couple walk away and the cameraman was adjusting his camera.

"Excuse me" Percy said walking up to him, he look up and smiled "Hi, would you like to take a picture?" he said

"Yes please"

Percy pulled Piper into him then move behind her, he wrap his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder.

"Smile" Percy said and she did

The man took the picture and then check it on his camera "pretty good"

After that they went into a stores and look for a souvenirs, Percy grab a shirt that shows a muscular mans body without the head, he showed to Piper.

"What do you think?" he ask

She laugh "You look muscular enough without that thing" was all she said

After the store They had a launch in a restaurant. Percy was looking at the menu and took his order, he close it and handed it to the waitress with a notepad

"Is there anything else you want?" she ask with a double meaning while smiling shyly.

"No thank you" he said politely

The waitress nodded and walk out

He notice Piper was giving him a look "What?" he ask

She look away

"Why are you angry at me?"

He smirk at her "Don't tell me you're jealous?"

She glared at him "Why should I be? I know you love me so I shouldn't be jealous"

"And yet you are" he said with a smirk, he reach across the table and trace her lips with his thumb while she's still glaring at him "There's no mortal woman who can compare to your beauty"

Piper rolled her eyes and then her phone vibrated in her pocket, she frown and took it out. After she read the messages she put it back to her pocket.

"We have to go" she said

"Why?" he ask not liking this.

Piper stood up "Come on"


The Alcatraz came to view, they stood atop of a wave he had created, as the Island approach they both took out their rings with a sour look in their faces.

The wave got smaller and smaller until it was no more and they both stood on the Island's wet sand. They waited for their companions on top of the building wondering why they were called back.

A few minutes later Hazel and Frank arrive, after that Jason then Leo and finally Annabeth. They stood in circles and commence their meeting.

"Why did you call us, we still have six days to go" Leo said

Annabeth's expression was serious and calculating which means this must be serious.

"The Hunters are here along with their mistress" she said

Percy raise an eyebrow

"Impossible! they should be in Crete right now" Jason said in surprise

"Not anymore" Annabeth said

"We should have expected this" Hazel said in deep thoughts "They're the gods after all, it's only natural that they'll be able to sense something this big is going on"

"And they've send the Goddess of the Hunt to investigate"

"What now?" Leo ask

"We lay low" Frank said

Annabeth nodded "I agree, we have to make sure they won't suspect anything" She look on each of them "That means not a single incident must happen while they're here, not even killing a single monster, does all of you understand?"

All of them nodded agreeing to her plan, they don't really have much options anyway.

"What about Gaea?" Piper ask

"We don't have to worry about her, she's smart. She knows bringing the gods into this will only hinder her especially when she's wounded. She won't let this opportunity of gaining a secret weapon pass by" Percy said

"Not even in the cost of our deaths?" Jason ask

Percy shrugged "We still have two years in the war, another chance will eventually come by"

Annabeth thought of every possible actions they could take and their consequence. This quest have just become a lot harder, she sure hopes they leave in five days, she look at Frank

"Frank, could you monitor them while they're investigating? I want to know their every movement"

He nodded

"And Percy, will you help him?"

"Yeah" he reply

"We will meet again three days, until then try not destroy this city" she said


Frank and Percy stood on the very edge of one of the tallest building in San Francisco, They look at the direction where the Huntress are who are about Seventy miles away from them. They don't want to risk of being seen.

Frank close his eyes then he open them but they were eyes of an eagle with this he could see the Hunt.

"How many of them are there?" Percy ask with his hands on his pocket

Frank knelt straining his vision to see more of them

"There about a dozen and they seems well arm" he reply

Percy nodded

Frank could see them walking the streets making their way to the center of the city, his eyes fell on the back of a girl and the moment his gaze caught her, she froze in step. Frank's eyes widened and the girl turn her head back while he shut his eyes tightly and snap his head to the side as if he was hit in the face before he met her gaze.

They stayed still for a couple of seconds then Frank shot up and run to the other side of the building followed by Percy. They jump off to the edge then a silver ball of light with an arrow inside hit where they were blowing away half of the top floor into debris.

Frank transform into an giant eagle and grab Percy on his shoulder then fly away from the smoking building. Frank landed them on top of a high school building, he slowly turn back to normal.

"That was close" Frank said he look up to Percy "Do you think she notice its us?"

He shook his head "She was just shooting blind, if she did notice us more than one arrow would have flew towards us"

Frank nodded

"We should hide for now and continue surveillance" he look at his clock "Let's meet up again on this school tonight."

Frank nodded then turn to a eagle again and flew away.

Percy walk out of the school ground and head where Annabeth is waiting for their date.

He walk to a parking lot and found a Mustang, he look around then use the power of Lethe to search a memory of how to pick a lock. He drove out of the school ground with the Mustang and park it outside of a restaurant. He walk inside and caught Annabeth sitting on a table in the middle.

She smiled at him and wave for him to come.

He sat down and look at the menu

"it's been a long time since we had a date, didn't we" she said

"I don't think two weeks is a long time"

She shrug "Time without you seems to stretch forever"

"So what do you want to do tonight? I'm all yours"

She likes the thought of that, it's been a long time since they've been alone together, it felt as if every time they're together something always happen so being with him likes this is very rare and precious.

"How are you?" She ask

"Never been better" he said casually

Annabeth caught sight of the necklace he's wearing "I never knew you wore necklace. May I see it?"

Percy touch the necklace through his clothing "It's nothing, just a souvenir. So how is the plan going" he said eager to change the subject

Annabeth's face grew dim "I already have some ideas but I'm still not sure about it, I mean is it really alright for us to do this? we are only mortals not gods"

Percy reach across the table and squeeze her hands "We need to do this, not just for us but for the future too. If becoming a god allow us to do this then so be it"

She smiled grateful for comfort. What they're attempting to do had never been done before, perhaps there was one but not for this purpose.

Right now deep within her mind exist something dangerous and terrifying. She never thought that she is capable of coming up with such a thing but she did, now it only needs to be build.

"Now, stop thinking about depressing things and let's enjoy our night together" Percy said and she nodded

After eating dinner at the restaurant, he took her in a empty park and they lay on a blanket he spread next to each other and watch the stars, she laugh at his jokes and point at their favorite constellation. She took his hands into his and he turn to her.

She was not smiling anymore, she was just staring at him then she started to lean and they kiss. The sweet kiss eventually turn into lustful one, then she move so that she's on top of him. She broke the kiss and sat on his stomach, she slip her hand inside his shirt and explore his chiseled chest with her hands then move down to his hard yet soft six pack.

Percy look into her eyes and his widened, he seen that look before.

"Annabeth" he said in warning.

She move down and kiss his jaw "Why not?" she breath

He grab her shoulder and push her away "You know why"

"Why do we have to wait? why can't we become one right now?" She ask

"And have a child in the middle of the war?"

"There's such a thing as birth control you know"

"Which you don't take" he said then sigh "Look Annabeth, I want this as much as you do but we can't bring a child into a world filled with violence and as much at it pains me to say this... There's a chance that we might not win this war"

He was making a lot of sense, Annabeth knew that but her desire for him clouded her mind. She stayed silent for a while then sigh in defeat.

She got off him and lay besides him "Fine, you win"

He kiss her forehead "I love you"

She smiled sweetly, knowing that he loves her was good enough, for now


I'm very sorry for the simple wedding but this was done in a hurry. I've been having personals problems so I did't have much time to write it and just made it up as I go.

which means like always
