My confidence wavered. "Percy?" His lips tugged a bit at the ends. "In the flesh, 'Beth". I ran and hugged him, and he hugged back. "I thought you died" "I was given the chance for power, and I took it." I looked up at him. He was now a good 3 inches taller than me. "You tricked me and everybody else, for power? You made me think you were dead for power?" If he was ever smiling, it was gone. "I had to Annabeth. The Gods were beginning to get-" "I can't believe it. The Olympians, your dad, MY mom" "Your mom disowned you." "Yeah, but you killed her! You killed and absorbed the Olympians." Now I was muttering to myself. "A being of that infinite power and immortality…" I looked at him in fear.

"You, you" He didn't show any sign of emotion. "Yeah, and this was your chance, so we could rule as equals." I wanted to slap him, get mad at him, anything similar to hate him, but I just couldn't. I sank to the floor. "Our last chance to be together…" He nodded grimly. "The best I can do now is grant you a partial immortality, but weaker than the hunters." I looked to him. "What about Artemis? You took her down too?" Percy frowned. "I didn't actually. I wanted to keep her, and torture her the way she hated and tortured the male species." I couldn't register anymore horror. "What about Hestia?" Percy smiled. "Right next to Artemis." I think I almost fainted. That was so cruel. "How disgusting can you be?" I noticed his eyes weren't a bright sea-green anymore. More of a poisonous emerald.

He laughed, out loud. It was evil. "I'm actually a different version of Percy. Or the one you knew. See, with all this power, and alternate aspect of him was developed, one more…evil." He smiled wickedly. "Would you like to talk to the other Percy? Sadly, the other Percy is much stronger than me, which is why I wasn't allowed to harm your camps. Or you, for that matter. He specifically said I couldn't hurt you." My brain was hardly registering all of this. "You're not Percy?" His evil smirk became wider.

"No, already told you, weaker, but more evil. I don't really care about you, but the other Percy won't let me hurt you. I'm just here for a little while more, then the real Percy will take over, and I'll go down. I like it better when he's in control, because everything's in a different point of view. Don't worry, until then, I can do whatever I want till he wants to take back over." I shake my head. "You're a monster." "You took over the gods, including my mom, stole their thrones, make the camps and hunters get thrown into confusion. You-You didn't even bother to tell me you were alive for 6 MONTHS. 6 MONTHS. Do you know how much I hurt when you last left me for 6 months? Because of Hera? I can't-" "Yeah, because of Hera. I was separated from you, and my only memory was of your name. Do you know how much that frustrated me?"

"You usurped them because you were frustrated?" I swear I could see his eyes turn blood-red, but he turned around and sighed. "I have no wish to argue with you." I had tears in my eyes by now. "The Percy I know and love is gone, isn't he?" "Not gone, but buried deep. For me to take over, Percy had to be pushed down." I had gotten my answer. The funny, caring, kind, loyal Percy I loved was gone. There was silence, and I took this as my cue to leave. As I was leaving, I heard him say one thing, something that I could tell was meant for my ears. "He's almost ready to take power."

I pushed away the feelings that brought in me, and left. As I got to camp, I told the troops that they could leave now. I asked Bob to stay a minute longer. I had a sneaky suspicion about him… "Bob?" He turned to me, slight amusement in his eyes. "You remind me of this demigod I once knew, Leo?" I look at him hopefully, maybe it was him? Bob's face flickered, and settled on Leo's face. "Missing the Supreme Bad Boy?" I smiled wide. "Leo?" We turn to see Calypso-who had joined the resistance a month after the Entity-Percy, became evil and took everything over. Leo looked at her, and I was waiting to see his reaction.

He didn't move, and Calypso ran towards him. He didn't move, still. Calypso ran to hug him, but before she did, she slapped him. He didn't even flinch. "Why did you join this Entity's troops? Why did you leave the resistance, Leo?" He didn't move, or speak. I thought he had actually frozen off, until he muttered something that I couldn't hear. Calypso looked taken aback, and she grew tears in my eyes, and then ran out. I looked to him questioningly, but then decided to shake it off. I would talk to Calypso later.

"So…how's everything going?" I looked at him. "Are you serious? You joined Percy's troops, the evil ones, and think we're just friends again?" He looked at me and scoffed. "You have no idea how much power was offered. It was even more than godhood. Nobody, even Percy as loyal as he is, could resist that. I'm now the second most powerful being in the universe." I stared at him, in disgust and amazement. "He didn't even give you immortality. Why join for just power?" Leo smirked.

"For the kind of power I possess, immortality is needed." I nod. "Did Percy tell you who he was when he recruited you?" Leo nodded. "He mainly wanted me because we were friends, and to keep an eye on this camp, even more so you." I made a face of disgust. "He doesn't care about me. The Percy that does would never do such a thing." Leo shook his head. "You were supposed to take the power, but judging from the weakness of your aura, you didn't." I nodded. "I don't betray the ones I love for power, unlike you and Calypso." He seemed hurt from this statement, so much I almost wished I didn't. "I did this for her." He mutters silently.

"As if. You literally betrayed her for power." "I wanted to protect her, and I thought the best way was to be able to keep an eye on her and keep the other troops away from her. And the power." He added cheekily. I shook my head in disbelief. "You changed Valdez, you changed." He shrugged. "Not that much, and in the current times, haven't we all?" He walked out, and I realized he was right. I was different. But I was stronger.

Leo p.o.v

I felt so bad after Calypso ran out, and i almost ran out after her. I try to keep my emotions in check, because i can cause huge fires when i get really mad. I would hate for that to happen. I can't how weak Calypso's aura was next to mine. It used to be stronger, and now it feels like an ant. It seemed so weak, so vulnerable. I wanted to protect her, which is why I took the position.

Calypso p.o.v

"How could you do this?" He mutters so quietly I almost didn't hear. "The power" I began to grow tears in my eyes. He did all this for power? He betrayed me for power? Does he even love me anymore? I ran out, not wanting to see him. I went to my favorite spot, a little spot in the forest, with two trees and a cliff. I had a hammock on the two trees, so I could hang over the cliff. It was safe in any way, but I just loved looking down and see how pretty the view was. I didn't rest on my hammock this time. I decided to just sit on the edge of the cliff, and dangle my feet. The wind was particularly nice today. I sit for a while, tears just streaming freely down my face.

I feel an aura of great power, and I assumed it was a god, but then realized the gods were gone. I had felt this aura before…Leo! I didn't want to see him. I got up and tried to leave, but he grabbed my arm. I turned to him, not bothering to hide my tears. He looked indifferent, but somewhere in his eyes I could see…concern? "I'm sorry." I yanked my arm back. I spoke, but my voice was cracking. "Really? I couldn't tell with how much you won't even show any emotion." He sighed, and I thought I saw anger, but I shook it off.

"I didn't do it for just the power." I scoffed. "I don't even want to know." He looked at me with pleading eyes. "I never actually betrayed you, in fact, if you were offered this, I'm sure you would take it too." I shook my head. "Leo, I spent most of my life on an island, falling in love and then getting left, and I committed so easily. Then you came, and you loved me back. You then even managed to get me off the island. I would never do anything against you. I still wouldn't, no matter how much I hate myself for it.

"You still love me?" He sounded surprised. I shook my head. "I don't want to, but I can't stop loving you Leo. I still love you." I turned around to leave, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. I was stunned and for a second, didn't move. While I was stunned he kissed me and then flashed away. I just sat there, on the ground, thinking about what just happened. I touched my lips, feeling where he just kissed me, and smiled to myself. Maybe this can still work out?...can it?

Percy p.o.v (Evil)

I stood there, thinking about Annabeth. As I thought about her, something in me shifted. When I think about anybody important to the other Percy, he becomes strong enough to shift or wake up temporarily. But not for long though, he's awakening, and I can't imagine how mad he'll get when he learns that he's going to be forever immortal and powerful while Annabeth can now only get a small amount of partial immortality. I'm going to be so dead….
