Betrayed
Percy drove to his university. His first class was English (A/N- I am sorry if this is not how universities work cause I am just in school right now so I am seriously sorry)
He went to his class. There was still 15 minutes for the class to start. He gently laid his head down on the desk. As much as he wanted to close his eyes and sleep, he couldn't.
She insulted his knowledge. She cheated on him. She turned the camp against him. Nobody wanted him there. Tears welled up in percy's eyes as the horrors of percy's past flashed through his mind.
*flashback*
Percy shivered as he walked up to Athena's palace on olympus. He was going to ask her permission to marry him. He was not sure whether she would agree. Gods! Why is marriage so hard?!
Percy reached the door of Athena's palace and knocked. "Come in" said a voice from inside. Percy walked in. "You" Athena scowled looking at him, "what do you want?" She asked.
"Your daughter" Percy replied.
Athena's expression softened. She knew everything percy did for annabeth. God's of olympus! He jumped into tartarus for her!
"You have done a lot to prove your worth perseus, but don't get too excited.." She said noticing the excitement in percy's face.
"...you shall go and finish the twelve labours of Hercules. After you have done this, you shall have my permission to marry my daughter" she added.
Percy paled. The twelve labours of Hercules. It would be difficult without annabeth by his side but he was doing this so she would be his forever.
Percy agreed to the deal.
He went back to camp and asked chiron to tell whoever who asked that percy had gone on a solo quest appointed by olympus.
He left the next day early morning
(after nine months, percy finished all the twelve labors)
Percy walked into Athena's palace. He was covered in monster dust, cuts, scratches, blood and wait...What is that wound on his side?
Athena appeared in her palace and caught percy who had fainted. "Oh percy" she muttered and dragged him to apollo.
"Apollo!" Athena shouted. Apollo immediately appeared and smirked at the goddess who called him, but when he saw the condition of the demigod in her hands, he paled as if he saw a living corpse.
He immediately took custody of percy. He laid him down on the bed and ran into the pharmacy (that was obviously in his palace) and out carrying some gauze, Bandaids, disinfectant and a big bowl of nectar.
He knelt by percy and first checked all his injuries.
"Oh my gods Athena! What did you do to him" Apollo exclaimed.
"Is he going to be alright?" Athena asked.
"Holy hephastus! What kind of question is that? Would anybody be alright if they had their forearm broken in three places, a dislocated shoulder, a Crack in the skull, five broken ribs.. " Apollo stopped to take a deep breath "punctured lung, and other than an approximate of hundred cuts and scratches and a stab wound from an unknown source that I might not be able to cure fast. No Athena he is not okay!" Apollo half- shouted at Athena.
Percy had been one of Apollo's favorite cousins, and just looking at him like this triggered some kind of.. Emotion in apollo (FYI, not love). Percy was apollo's role model. Who would be the hero of olympus if percy dies?
With that apollo worked harder. He cured all the cuts and scratches by force- feeding percy nectar. He spoke a Greek curse and cured percy's cracked skull, ribs, lungs and a little bit of percy's arm. He had put a sling, so he didn't need to use it much. He tore open the remainings of percy's shirt. By looking at the six- pack abs, Athena started drooling
"stop drooling" said a voice in her head. Aphrodite.
Athena immediately shut her mouth and blushed a little.
Apollo rubbed some nectar on percy's stab wound and muttered some Greek incantations. The wound had closed up, but for precaution, apollo wrapped the gauze around the wound.
"There, all good" He said collapsing into a nearby chair. "He should be okay by tomorrow morning, now will you tell me what happened?"
After Athena explained him what happened apollo was dumbstruck.
"He did all of this for your permission?!" He half shouted.
Athena nodded. And was about to say something before she got interrupted by aphrodite.
"But I don't think annabeth loves him anymore" she said. Athena had gotten so scared that she was one second away from turning aphrodite into an owl.
"What do you mean?" Asked apollo.
"Well, I think that annabeth might be cheating on percy but -" aphrodite got interrupted by athena.
"My daughter is wise. She knows which man to choose, and she had made the correct decision by choosing perseus. She loves him a lot. She would not do such kind of a thing." Athena defended.
"Just saying" aphrodite said before walking. Athena followed her leaving apollo and percy alone.
Apollo checked percy one last time before going away.
(The next day)
Apollo walled into his infirmary whistling his favorite ariana grande song.
"Hey man" said a voice
Apollo looked at the person who's voice it had been and smiled.
"Good morning percy" He said and went beside him to check on him.
" Well everything is good except your arm. You need to have the sling for some more time" He noted.
Percy nodded " can I see hephastus?" He asked.
"Sure"
(A/N- it is 1:45 am and I really should be sleeping so that I skipped some part of the hephastus)
(at hephastus's palace after one week)
"So, perseus how is the ring" hephastus asked percy holding out a box. Inside it was the most beautiful ring ever known to mankind.
It had a celestial bronze band and a stormy grey stone on top of it. One the band it was written 'wise girl and seaweed brain forever'
"It's... Beautiful" Percy muttered.
Hephastus smiled "go and nail that girl perseus." He encouraged.
Percy smiled.
"Percy! Percy!, gods! Wake up!" Somebody shook him
(A/N- dun dun dun.. Who do you think it is? Anyway don't forget to vote, because I seriously need the person who you think is the best for percy)
