Chapter 2 (now things get good!)

Percy POV

(By the way guys chapters 1 & 2 are flashbacks. Sorry for the confusion, you'll understand in chapter 3)

I can't help but notices changes that have happened over the past few weeks. First the new demigods were all claimed at the same time, and what do you know I was right. The muscular 16 year old whose name was Castor, was claimed at the campfire from none other than Zeus himself! Then the scrawny one, Duke, was claimed by Hermes, and the young girl, whose name was Gwen was claimed by Poseidon! When that happened I cheered loudest of all and ran up and hugged her. I was so excited! I finally had a sister! But my luck is horrible because it turns out that Duke, Castor and Gwen are all cousins on the mortal side and made sure I had nothing to do with my half-sister. First they made her sit as far away from me as possible, then they filed a complaint to Chiron saying that it wasn't 'safe' for a young girl to share a room with a bigger, stronger, faster dangerous male. So they split the cabin in half which was extremely annoying. Then finally Gwen stopped talking with me or even looking at me. It was horrible. Finally after a few weeks a quest was announced. It was decided that, Castor from Zeus , Duke from Hermes, Lou Ellen from Hecate, Lacy from Aphrodite and I, Percy from Poseidon would go on a quest to seal a breach in the underworld that had been opened by Gaea's forces. As we were about to leave I tried one last time to talk to Annabeth. But all she did was slap me and walk away. I can't understand why she's still mad. She doesn't even know that I was forced to, that if I hadn't- "Percy!" Lou Ellen yelled, startling me.

"Yes?" I questioned slightly annoyed.

"You have first watch," Lou ordered then she walked towards her tent. I stood up and waited for monsters. But suddenly I felt like someone was watching me. I turned slowly but didn't see anything. I waited and waited but nothing came. So for just a minute, no, a second, I let my guard down, and then I massive shape hurled towards and WHACK I was out.


For days I drifted in and out of conciseness. Everytime I tried to wake up something would knock me out again and I would drift into a dreamless sleep. Finally after what felt forever ( hey it might have been you never know with demigods) I woke up to find Lou Ellen leaning over me worriedly. " Percy! Are you okay? You've been asleep for days!"

"What happened?" I asked groggily.

"Don't talk let me check you over," Lou ordered. Slowly she better up a finger and prodded a part of my leg that seemed perfectly fine, but when she touched it I screamed in agony. It hurt so bad, like a million sparks of electricity had run through me. Lou Ellen jumped back in surprise and hastily reached for the baggie of ambrosia, but someone caught her hand before she could give it to me. I realized with a shock that it was Castor! "Don't," he ordered, "we've given him enough already. At this rate he'll burn up!" Castor finished with a sneer.

Lou nodded and whispered, "I guess he's in no shape to fight," she sighed, "we'll have to send Lacy to look after him. She can't fight all of them but we'll do our best to protect her and Percy." And she walked off. Soon Lacy come over, her pink braces shimmering.

"We are close to camp," she said enthusiastically, "we just have to make it past the top of the hill, there's monsters surrounding the borders," Lacy explained. Soon everyone stopped up to the top of the hill. The others went to fight while Lacy stood over me….and the backpacks. Suddenly the wind picked up something and blew it into my hands. "No!" I gasped. The picture was obviously of Annabeth, as it was taken of her profile. But surprised me was the other person in the photo. Specifically Castor who she was specifically kissing. I stood up quickly, all the pain forgotten. "Percy?" Lacy squeaked turning, and then suddenly a hellhound racked it's claws against her back and bit her arm. Lacy collapsed on to the ground screaming. I uncapped Riptide and killed the beast, just as Lou Ellen and the others walked over.

"See, I told you, he was faking it the whole time," Duke said shaking his head and pretending to sound sincere.

"Percy, I can't believe you! Why?" Lou demanded. Then she started to punch and pummel me, at one point she took her knife and attacked me. Then she started to mutter in Ancient Greek and I screamed in pain. "Percy, you now will feel the pain of a thousand wounds, this pain shall not subside until Lacy is healed." She stated and then she forced me to crawl unaided, and in misery to camp. When we arrived campers swarmed around Lacy, and carried her to the infirmary, Nico started to help me up when Lou dragged him away. Finally everyone had gone when a young Apollo camper noticed me . The she and her brother came and brought me to the infirmary.

There was nothing they could do to ease the pain. Eventually they just put me on giant painkillers. They told me that they were forbidden from giving me ambrosia. Days past and only Nico and Chiron came to see me not Grover, not Leo, Piper or the rest of the seven. But Frank and Hazel were an exception, they were at Camp Jupiter.

Finally on Monday August 23, Lacy passed away. The pain subsided, but only because Chiron made Lou Ellen reverse the curse. The moment I walked out of the infirmary I was attacked with an array of objects. Spears, water bottles, math textbooks (FYI Math textbooks make lethal projectiles) and most surprisingly Annabeth, she launched herself at me and scratch at any and all exposed skin. Reyna (who had arrived yesterday) had to drag her way with the help of Argentum and Aurum whom Leo had reconstructed. I was still chased all the way to the beach and dove underwater for protection. I debated over whether or not to go see my father, but Poseidon might see that as a sign of weakness and that is not something I wanted him to think. So I just sat underwater and thought, I get that the camp is upset that Lacy died. I know what it looks like, but, my fatal flaw is loyalty, how they think that I could I betray them? I stayed underwater for what seemed like days, but really it could have been years, I hadn't noticed how much time had gone by. Finally I rose out of the water and handed towards my cabin. I turned to lay down on my bed but suddenly, was pinned to the wall. Two knifes kept me there. I looked down and say a faint trickle of blood. "Who's there?" I called and watched as the face of my attacker was revealed. "Annabeth?"


On Olympus

Percy POV (Flashback)

I can't remember much. I remember Chiron coming and the gods summoning me to Olympus. I remember slowly dying and entering the underworld. I remember trying to cross the river and finding a young girl standing beside me, hand outstretched. She had long black hair and she had one sky blue eye and the other was dirt brown. Her dress was a simple white, yet it was elegant. She looked at me and spoke softly, "I am Delirium, daughter of Chaos, come with me." Something about her told me she could be trusted, so I took her hand and we flashed into the throne room, right above my dead body. I was shocked but my mouth couldn't seem to form words. Delirium pointed to a small figure that was crouched over my body. "That girl there, she's Artemis, named for her silver hair and love for the bow. She's the daughter of….the titan you call Bob. She's ready to transport your body to the Primordials palace, should you chose to accept this offer."

"What's the offer?" I asked.

"For you to join my father's army, or his sister's whichever you pick."

"But, I have family here, the camps…." I trailed off.

"Percy look, she then pointed to a small blue ball that the other Olympians were looking at. The scene inside was shocking. Annabeth was walking out of my cabin, my leather necklace in her hand.

"Percy Jackson is dead!" She shouted and the camp burst into cheers. I watched as Reyna let a small tear slid down her cheek. I was heartbroken.

"I am so sorry Percy, but you're dead….there's no way you can go back. You could go to the underworld…but your a hero, I know you'd love a chance to fight for what's right again. So are you in?" She asked, her 2 colour eyes demanding an answer.

"Yes….I….I….I accept." I answered shakily.

"Brilliant!" Delirium said. She gave a thumbs up towards the silver haired girl and turned to me. "Time to go," she whispered. I took her hand and once more, we disappeared.


100 years later

"Percy!" I bolted upright, startled. I groaned when I saw who it was. "Percy, I'm insulted!" The voice said.

"Sorry Delirium, I just….I dreamed about that night, you know, the night you first came to me." I said quietly.

Delirium's eyes widen in realization, "But Percy," she said sitting on the edge of my bed, "You haven't dreamed about anything to do with Olympus in years."

"I know, that's what scares me."

So….how was that? I'm going to start writing the next chapter right away! But please….I know people are following this story, so would you mind telling me how I did in the reviews? Please? Thank ~Athena MonaLisa
