No A/N in this story.
Except this one.
Post Titan-War
Expect slow updates.
I'm going to try to keep these characters as canon-personality as possible.
Also, I'm not going to try to make Annabeth a whore, however, to keep this storyline in check for Perianca, she is going to have an EXPLANATION.
Bye.
Percy Third Person POV
"Wise girl!" Percy called out, looking to the left and right wildly for his 'wise girl.' He stumbled past his cabin, rushing forward towards Cabin 6, hoping Annabeth was in there.
The sun shone brilliantly over Camp Half-Blood as Apollo rode his sun chariot across Zeus' domain, although, Percy figured his cousin was simply putting his ipods in his ears and shaking his head slightly as he listened to a random pop song while his chariot drove wildly across the sky. The grass crumpled under the weight of each step Percy takes when he is running, his orange Camp Half-Blood shirt snapping in the soft howling of the wind. Campers around him were in multiple groups, mainly based on cabins, while the counselors tried to scurry all of the demigods through the early activities.
The Son of Poseidon stopped in front of Cabin 6, Which in a basic sense of explaining, was a miniature version of the Library of Congress. How Percy knew that? He has no idea: but it probably has to do with something simple, like he maybe was living in the US and maybe his girlfriend was this architectural fangirl? Probably. He quickly knocked, once, twice and thrice until Annabeth opened it.
Her blonde princess-curl hair was frizzy and all over the place, the orange shirt she was wearing seemed crooked but that didn't stop her from smiling at Percy when he stumbled in front of her.
"What's up, Seaweed Brain?" She questioned, leaning against the side frame of the door whilst trying to get the sleep out of her eyes.
Percy nodded vigorously, his head going up and down like a forced dolphin, "I'm going to my moms real quick. Just want to let you know. See you later, Wise Girl!"
Annabeth laughed at Percy's expression which held a dire need of 'rush.' She had been with Percy long enough to read his emotions. He wasn't the best at hiding them, that's for sure.
Percy stood there, just waiting for her to finish as he was trying to get to his mom's as quick as possible as she had Iris-messaged him to come, for a surprise.
"Well? What're you waiting for? Go!" Annabeth joked full-heartedly, shoving Percy backwards with her hands.
The Son of Poseidon nodded, flashing a grin at Annabeth and running away towards Thalia's tree. He made it right beside the Daughter of Zeus' tree, Peleus, the dragon, was curled up around it as small puffs of smoke blew from his nose.
"Hey, buddy." Percy soothed the dragon, however, Peleus looked up but didn't give Percy an inch. The Son of Poseidon grew annoyed but he already knew that Peleus was playing with him.
The smart dragon knew that Percy grew annoyed when it acted like Percy was just another threat, which proved the fact that this was a fricken smart dragon.
"Well. I'm going out to my mom's, she said she had a surprise for me." Percy explained softly towards Peleus.
A stare-off grew between the 2, which is surprising at how easily Percy could bond with animals. To pegasi, to hellhounds, and even to a dragon. It just shows the full extent of how much of an influence Percy could be to the wild; but Percy, being the modest person he was, just said that Pan gave him the blessing of the Wild in the Labyrinth, but no one bought it. Well, perhaps a few satyrs that murmur something along the lines of 'a filthy-human being having a natural bond with the wild? As if. Pan must've somehow favored him.' But none spoke out, fearing the wrath of the new Lord of the Wild, Grover Underwood. The stare-off soon turned into minutes of unblinking eyes until Peleus huffed in defeat, nodding towards Percy.
"Thanks!" Percy quickly thanked the dragon, standing up abruptly, and running out of camp. He quickly ran through the simple forests, getting to Montauk where he had parked his car that was given to him by Hermes, the God of Travelers. He has to thank his cousin. The tree line shrunk smaller and smaller as Percy ran farther and farther. The Son of Poseidon jumped once, just for a small amount of entertainment as his ADHD is higher than the average demigod. He landed onto the sandy beach, his shoes clamping onto the shore and letting sand fly up into the sky, the look-a-like dust falling to the ground. A small amount of joy bubbled hauntingly in his chest, letting it known that he still has his childhood antics. He loves them however. He kept running forwards until he made it to his car, a sea green toyota. The Son of Poseidon fumbled for the keys on the dashboard, grabbing it and starting the car up.
He idly wondered what the surprise was going to be, but he knew it was important as his mother called him. Usually she never calls him to come back to the house unless if it was for school; she just Iris-messages Percy and they just chat but Sally never invited him to return to the house. He drove his car through the small road that led to Montauk, letting his instincts take over as his consciousness definitely cannot even remember any of the controls. He passed through the barriers of the beach site and kept driving, eventually making it to Manhattan and passing the border.
Brooklyn Bridge looked like it was under reconstruction when Percy passed it, a pang in his chest suddenly allowed a huge wave of sadness wash over him as he remembered Michael Yew's death clearly. A 16 year old shouldn't be experiencing dozens of deaths, but yet, he had been experiencing them since he was 14. The car kept the pace up, letting it ride itself towards his mother's apartment. He halted the car, stopping it and walking out of it.
The Son of Poseidon walked into the apartment complex, the receptionist just nodded her head in acknowledgement as she already knew mostly everyone in the whole apartment, except perhaps, new people. Percy nodded back and walked to the left where the stairs were, opening the door to them. The stairs went into view, the brown-gray color seemed bland in the apartment but Percy just shrugged it off. He started skipping step after step, rushing up. He didn't want to ride another elevator as he wanted to get to his mother's apartment as quickly as possible. He made it to the reignited floor, letting his eyes go freely towards the ground as he instinctively walked towards a door and knocked.
His mother opened the door, a huge smile on her face and she squealed, bringing Percy into a very tight hug.
"Mommmm!" Percy complained loudly.
"You're here for the surprise, aren't you?" A voice asked from beside the hugging duo.
Paul Blofis walked into view, another huge smile on his face, identical to Sally's, making Percy raise his eyebrow at his step-father: letting the amusement wash over him when Paul blushed.
"What is it?" Percy asked excitedly, pulling away from the hug and walking into the apartment, closing the door behind him. Sally pulled out a suspicious looking thermometer which the screen in the middle showed 2 perfectly straight red lines.
"What is that?" The Son of Sally asked questioningly, completely oblivious to the whole thing. Sally rolled her eyes, pointing with her pointer-finger towards the thermometer, she answered, "This is the pregnancy test thing. You get it now?"
Paul nodded in agreement, slowly sighing at his completely ignorant step-son.
Percy's eyes widened in alarm before sweeping his gaze towards Paul with a suspicious glint in his eyes.
The husband of Sally felt blood rise to his face at his son's calculating gaze until Percy returned his eyesight to his mother.
Percy was confused at first until Sally explained it which is when he figured out what it meant. His mother was pregnant.
"I'm going to be a big brother?" Percy asked quietly, staring at the pregnancy test thing until Sally nodded her head with a wistful look in her eyes. Percy laughed, tears of joy being evident in his face as he quickly hugged his mother. Now, Percy never had a sibling. Sure Tyson was alright, no awesome, but he never had a mortal one. Well...he does have a lot of siblings. In a common sense, he is basically the brother of all living cyclops and Pegasi. Which is extremely weird when they call out 'Mi' Lord!' Percy didn't really enjoy that. A brother who is preferably older than another, yet calling out his name with the uttermost respect? That is weird in Percy's opinion, but he also knew that Zeus was the King Of the Gods: so basically all his siblings have to call him that. Back to the topic in hand, he always wanted a mortal sibling. Either one child of Poseidon or just his mother. Although he didn't know it would be this fast.
"I have to tell Annabeth!" He whispered in the hug.
"Go tell her." Sally grinned towards Percy who nodded quickly and ran out of the apartment after pecking his mother's cheek. The Son of Poseidon ran out of the apartment complex, got into his car, and started speeding after pissing off multiple drivers who honked at his teenage speeding, much to his amusement. He just snapped his fingers, controlling the mist to where the car wasn't there at all, making the driver's stop honking their annoying horns or blaring them right into Percy's ear drums. When trying to concentrate, you definitely don't need dozens of horns and adults screaming curses right into your ears. Percy eventually made it to camp, getting out of his car faster than a cat jumping onto a bug, closing the door and running into camp where he saw Peleus seemingly grin at Percy's return.
"I'm back buddy!" Percy waved his arms dramatically towards Peleus, patting the dragon's scaly but soft head, and listening to the purr of pleasure from the dragon. Peleus' gaze caught with Percy's, asking a silent question which Percy immediately understood.
"I'll tell you later, I just got to find Annabeth." Percy informed swiftly towards the dragon, letting it nod its head in affirmative as Percy stood up. His eyes scanned the whole of Camp Half-Blood, looking for Annabeth until he ran forward, accidentally bumping into Chiron.
The centaur's face brightened when he saw Percy, but his face quickly morphed into one of scolding. "Perseus Jackson! Where were you? You didn't even bother to consult me! Do you know how worried I was? This time, Kitchen Patrol for the day!" Chiron scolded before pulling Percy into a hug.
"Jeez! I just went to my mom's. Also, I got a surprise to tell you, but later. Where's Annabeth?" Percy asked once Chiron had let go of him. He found it a bit rude for him to have Kitchen Patrol just for going out for a few minutes, barely an hour.
Chiron's face turned into one of a calculating one before tipping his head, deep into thought. "She's at the beach I believe." He answered solemnly, looking sadly at one of his most favorite students like he never saw a fate like Percy's before.
The Son of Poseidon nodded, ignoring the sad tone in Chiron's voice. "Thanks!" Percy thanked Chiron cheerfully, letting Chiron's face fall a bit more deeper. He was completely ignorant to the whole thing, waving a goodbye at Chiron, he ran towards the beachside. Suddenly a part of his brain just clicked, making Percy question the sad tone in Chiron's voice before he just shrugged it off. It was probably better just to tell Annabeth that his mother was pregnant. He figured her reaction would include something of congratulations and/or shock.
The waves softly splashed onto the shore, not big enough waves to cause damage but just small waves, no smaller than a foot. They flooded through the sand, the rip-current pulling small sand particles and the sea back into the Atlantic. The water glistened under the bright sun, which probably meant Apollo was grinning at this point. The wind was more powerful, although not by much, by the beachside. Percy's shirt was flinging side to side, letting the wind go through his body. His raven black hair snapped through the wind as another gust picked up. Fish swam curiously towards the shore, looking onto Perseus which they quickly bowed and yelped out a, 'Mi' Lord,' much to Percy's hate.
His sea-green eyes swung through the beach, looking for a familiar set of blonde princess curls until he saw them. Yet, there was another set of hair, brown hair. He looked closer, just hoping they were just chatting, not doing what Percy thought they were doing. Wait, Percy shook his head, Annabeth wouldn't cheat on him. Never. After all, she loves him...doesn't she?
However, the closer he walked forward, the more dread came into his stomach as their features came into view. They started chatting as their hands flew side to side, Percy quickly rushing to the side, out of the shoreline and entering a small bush.
A dryad appeared right beside Percy, joining into the fun at spying at them. Another one joined in, then another one until Percy started to grow annoyed. "Be quiet." He ordered quietly towards the dryads.
"What are you doing, young one?" A dryad asked, her green hair tied into a ponytail, exposing her pointy ears and green skin.
"Spying on my girlfriend with another man." Percy grumbled before turning around to spy again. The ponytailed dryad's eyebrow rose, but Percy ignored her as he listened intently. Being a dryad doesn't mean she can't have fun, and being a super secret spy with no other than the Savior of Olympus? A wondrous time to have.
"I can't believe he would do that." Annabeth told the other boy, which Percy still had no idea who the other boy was.
"Hey. I can't control what that stupid Son of Poseidon does. But you can always look for more choices." The other boy answered back slyly. Annabeth took a breath, making Percy freeze at what the Hades she is even thinking at this point.
"Your right. I shouldn't have doubted you. I love you, Xander. I love you more than Percy. To be honest, I don't even think he even loved me at all." Annabeth sighed, before placing her lips onto the supposed 'Xander's'.
The Son of Poseidon froze in horror. Heart-stopping and wrecking horror but he watched as Xander reciprocated the kiss, although it didn't look as passionate. His expression turned to one of fury, the aura around him increased, making the dryads yelp out in surprise and quickly poofing away in twin poofs of green smoke but Percy didn't notice this as he charged out of his hiding place and confronted his now-ex.
"What are you doing!?" He yelled out in fury, he probably figured that he would've broken down crying if he tried confronting them before, but this time, he was furious. Annabeth quickly jumped up, turning around and letting her curls fall to her sides with an angry expression on her face.
"What are you doing!? Cheating on me!? Who's the girl!? Oh, wait! I just figured it out! You were cheating on me! If Xander wouldn't have told me, you would've just kept leading me on!" Annabeth yelled back, each yell making crack into Percy's hardened heart.
"You really believe what Xander is telling you?" Percy fired back, glaring at Xander who had an arrogant smirk played onto his crusted lips. Percy has to soon wipe that smelly, no-good smirk off Xander's face but he has other problems at hand. Never in his life would he believe he would be put into this situation. But the Fates think otherwise.
"He is telling me the truth! You never went to moms! He said he saw it himself that you went to another girl! You cheated on me!" Annabeth yelled back, getting even more angry.
"So you really believe him over me, Wise Girl." Percy whispered, hurt heavily.
"I AM NOT YOUR WISE GIRL! YOU LOST THAT PRIVILEGE!" Annabeth yelled, her voice seemed to bring the entirety of dryads all into green puffs of smoke in synchronization, creating multiple small puffs of green dust that combined into multiple bigger ones.
"I WENT TO MY MOMS! I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT! But look here! You are cheating on me, you know what? We're over." Percy growled back, squeezing his hand into a firm fist. Annabeth quickly pulled out her bronze dagger and pointed it straight at Percy, as if threatening to gut him with only her knife.
"We were over, since you started cheating on me." Annabeth spat, eyes ablaze with anger.
Xander was still sitting there but now he just laid down onto the sand lazily, a huge smile on his face.
"Just ask him if he is telling the truth or not!" Percy screamed, starting to cause a commotion as people started stumbling to the floor from their various activities.
Annabeth's face turned into a small smile as she turned towards her boyfriend, "Isn't that right, babe. You saw him."
Percy felt hurt right there, Annabeth really thought he cheated on her. He wouldn't even do that, he would've rather be tortured for years than to cheat on her. But now he saw where her allegiance was, she never had trust in him. And she never would.
Xander just started laughing, falling to his sides before wheezing, trying to suck in his breath. "Wow. I didn't expect that to work out that well!" Xander started laughing once the words came out of his mouth, making Annabeth's face turn into one of realization as her eyes widened. She quickly turned towards Percy, a heartbroken expression on her face as she took a step towards him.
Percy took one back.
"Percy!" Annabeth called out helplessly but the Son of Poseidon shook his head and an even more heartbroken expression grew more valiantly onto Annabeth's face.
At one point he would've just hugged Annabeth and comforted her when he saw that face. At one point he would've been up all night just to comfort her. At one point he loved her. Not anymore. Not evermore.
"Goodbye, Annabeth Chase." Percy turned towards the sea, ignoring Annabeth's pleas of him giving her a second chance and that she loved him, he jumped in it. Swimming, swimming as far away as he possibly can, but he knew, he couldn't outswim his pain. But he sure as heck can make it not happen again.
