Percy POV
I had been away for three months, trying to prove my worth for Annabeth. I had go to the Underworld to steal three rubies, three silver pomegranates, and one gold blossom. Demeter tried to kill me, and held me hostage for 3 months and three weeks. Then, once I got out, I spent one week slowly stealing the items, one on everyday. I gave all the items to Athena, and she said she is amazed at my work. She also said that anyone who wanted to marry any of her daughters had to do this, and none of them succeeded. Athena gave me her blessing to marry Annabeth, so I bought a ring, custom made just for us, and headed to Camp Half-Blood, just as the sun told me it was around 6 am.
There, I was greeted by my new half brother, whose name is Aenon, which means water boy. He is still young, just at the mere age of 7.
"Hey Aenon, who has camp been while I was gone?" I asked.
"Lots of things have changed big brother. There is a new 'perfect couple' that everyone is talking about. The Aphrodite cabin heard about your plan to marry Annabeth, and have been talking about it for days." Aenon answered.
"Also, Aenon, why are you up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I took a little walk. The harpies excused me because I just wanted to walk along the Sound, but then, I felt like Daddy was telling me to go to the edge of the Camp. So I went."
"Thanks buddy. I will see you later!" I said, ruffling his hair, and I made my way to the Athena cabin.
"ANNABETH! I am back!" I called into the Athena cabin. Annabeth came into view, hair messed up, sleepy.
"Who is it?" Annabeth asked sleepily, and when she saw me, her head snapped up, suddenly awake, alert. I pulled her into a hug, and kissed her head.
"Annabeth, how are you doing?" I asked, pulling away from the hug.
"Percy, I don't feel like our relationship isn't going to work. When Piper disappeared off the face of the Earth, I just had to do something for Jason. When I started to date him, what we had is not what it is meant to be. I feel like Jason is the other piece of me, not you. He is in New Rome right now." Annabeth announced, and I suddenly became mad.
"The reason I was suddenly gone from Camp is because I had to prove my worth to be able to marry you! Apparently, you don't care that I spent almost three months in Demeter's palace, held hostage. Then, I had to go to the Underworld and steal things that Persephone would of killed me for if I didn't escape narrowly. Apparently you don't care I spent most of my own money to get a ring for you, and I was going to propose to you this night. You don't seem to care that I had to go through many horrible things to be able to even achieve the approval of your mom. Do you even care?!" I yelled, waking up most of her siblings.
"Percy, just chill out." Malcolm mumbled, still bed headed.
"Malcolm, your sister doesn't care that I was going to propose to her later tonight, and she cheated just because one of her friends is heartbroken." I snapped. His eyes widened, and he looked shocked.
"Percy, I didn't really want it to be this way. That isn't what I really mean." Annabeth said desperately. I pulled out the ring box, threw it onto the floor, and left the cabin, leaving behind one person who I sacrificed so much for, and a friend.
"Chiron, can I speak to you?" I asked, as I stepped into the Big House. Chiron was doing something, and looked up.
"Percy, what happened?" Chiron asked.
"I really would like to visit New Rome, after the little situation I had with Annabeth. Please, I really would like to see my Roman friends." I pleaded.
"Percy, I heard you from here, and I know what happened. You can go. Take a pegasus, and make sure to bring lots of doughnuts for him." Chiron said, "Oh, and take Blackjack. According to your little brother, he wants to go there as well."
I nodded, and left for the Poseidon cabin, where I found Aenon, trying to read a Greek version of Dog Man.
"Aenon, I will be going to Rome for a while. Be a good boy for the camp alright? Show them how you are a true son of the sea god." I said, distracting Aenon.
"Big brother, please be safe! I will be a good boy, and I will show them I am a true son of the sea god!" Aenon said. I hugged him, patted his head, and I left for the stables.
Hey boss, are you ready to fly? Blackjack asked.
"What? How? I…" I stuttered.
Whatever, got doughnuts for the trip? Got everything you need?
"I will buy you doughnuts along the the trip. I do not want crushed doughnuts in my bag, or give you rotten doughnuts." I saddled up, and we flew over New York City. We are going to be at one of my homes.
Reyna POV
"Really Reyna? I don't really like it when you wear lipstick." Jason snapped as soon as I entered the office. (Let's say Frank didn't want that position, and gave it back to Jason.)
"That is it." I growled, and I called for a meeting. Once all of the Senate was assembled, I started.
"Legionnaires, Centurions. I have an important announcement. Jason Grace, praetor, son of Jupiter has shown himself as unfit to be praetor." I announced.
"Why?" Frank asked.
"He has been unfair to me just because I want some freedom from this burden. Jason has spent too much time not doing anything, laying his duties on me." I answered, and the room suddenly became mad at Jason, except Octavian, who looked at me hopefully. I ignored it and dismissed the people.
"Praetor Reyna. I need to speak with you." someone said from behind me. Octavian, trying to press me to letting him be praetor. I drew a knife and threw it behind me, and I heard a yelp from him as he probably got impaled.
"The answer is no Octavian. I will never work with you unless it is the last option." I said, walking away. I whistled for my dogs, Aurum and Argentum, and strode away, knowing that Octavian will never try to bother me when they are around.
"Reyna, can I talk to you?" a voice asked, and I turned to see Hazel.
"Yes, what is it?" I asked curtly.
"I have a message from Percy. He says he is on his way here, and will be here in two days. I think Percy will make a good praetor." Hazel said. I thought about it, and decided it was better than Octavian.
"Wait, how can I forget?!" Hazel cried, facepalming, "He broke up with Annabeth because she cheated on Percy with Jason."
My eyes widened. That's why Jason wanted to leave. To go back with Annabeth.
I always liked Percy, maybe I could try out a relationship with him. A corner of my brain said, and I snapped back into the real world.
"Hazel, thank you. If he stays, do you think that he will make a good praetor?" I asked. She nodded, and I went back to my small villa. Inside, I saw Octavian waiting.
"What is it?" I snapped.
"Maybe I could be praetor with you. We could always try out a relationship." he said, coming closer to me.
"No, I already have an idea on who should be praetor with me." I snapped, pushed him away. Octavian smirked, and forced me into a kiss, and I punched him, making Aurum and Argentum attack him. I ran to the bathroom, washed off the lipstick, and the feeling of that vile thing off of me.
Jason POV
"Annabeth, I will be back in a few days. With Percy gone, we can lead Camp, and convince them to rebel against Percy, who is going to take my spot. We will be victorious. I promise you." I said to her through an IM.
"Jason, promise me you won't make the same mistakes that Luke made." Annabeth begged.
"I promise, I won't."
