A/N: Wow surprised at the amount of interest in this story. So here is chapter 3
Camp Half-Blood
Percy groaned, as he sat next to his brother bedside. It had been a few hours since he had been knocked out by the Minotaur, and now he was resting in the medical wing. Percy had no idea why he had to here, after all he wasn't injured, Percy looked up as the door swung open. he gritted his teeth at who had walked through carrying a basin of water. Percy had hoped that he could have avoided the girl who had broken his heart, but here she was seeing too his brother. Percy was trying to look everywhere but at her, he didn't need to get into any conversation especially with her. However that all changed when Annabeth decided to ask him a question.
"So you're demigod then? Any idea who your godly parent is?"
Percy knew he had to act dumb, after all when he had first encounter Annabeth, he didn't know where he was, or what he was. Having this knowledge now would start to raise suspension.
"Excuse, but what do you mean demigod? There no such things as Gods!"
Soon as he had said that thunder rumbled across the sky. Percy smirked to himself, it seems he was already pissing Zeus off, without even doing anything. He noticed Annabeth was looking at him again, God those eyes, why couldn't she just leave? Allowed someone else to look after his brother. It had been those damn eyes that had made him fall in love with her in the first place.
"Excuse me I need to get some air."
Before Annabeth could stop him, he had already walked out of the hospital wing, he needed a place to think. He looked to the hill, where Thalia tree rested, that was another thing Percy felt guilty about, he had left camp without even saying bye to Thalia. The truth was not everyone had been against him, a certain daughter of Zeus had stood by him, when he had been rejected by Annabeth, in fact Thalia had fought Annabeth after she had broken up with him.
Flash Back
Percy looked on as both girls grabbed each other and began to wrestle in the middle of the circle that had been formed around them. Percy knew he was to blame for this, he knew he should never had told Thalia that Annabeth had broken up with him, just so she could be with his new brother. The news had sent the daughter of Zeus on a war path, and she had immediately confronted Annabeth. Clearly she had not liked what Annabeth had said, because she grabbed the daughter of Athena by her hair before throwing her to the ground. Percy was worried that his brother might step in and was on guard just in case he did. However it seems he was enjoying two girls fight. Percy turned his attention back to the middle of the circle where Thalia had just flipped Annabeth and was now straddling her, and slapping her.
"You horrible Bitch! How could you do that to Perseus? After everything he has done for you. Not many guys would have given up Godhood, but he did, just because he wanted to be with you!"
Percy lowered his head. Thalia had hit the nail right on the head. Had it not been for him being in love with Annabeth, then he would have gladly accepted Zeus offer of godhood. He looked up to see Annabeth was doing her best to try defend herself, that's when he saw Mark about to make his move. Percy quickly intercepted him, and gave him a nice right hook, sending him crashing to the floor.
"Blood Coward, going to attack her while her back was turned. You and Annabeth deserve each other, your both back stabbing bastards."
Percy then kicked his brother straight in the gut causing him to curl up in a ball and hold his stomach. He had just finished with Mark, when he noticed Thalia had withdrawn her bow and was now ready to shoot Annabeth. Quickly he made his way into the circle and wrapped his arms around her, forcing her to lower her bow.
"Percy's right, you're not worth it, consider our friendship over Annabeth."
Percy had then lead Thalia over to the woods and sat down with her. Percy wanted to know what had caused Thalia sudden anger, he had never seen her like that. He also noticed that she hadn't moved from his embrace and was now resting her head on his chest.
"Thalia why did you go off like that? I know there's more to it then just Annabeth breaking up with me."
Thalia closed her eyes, she knew the reason why she had gotten so angry, but she was scared to tell Percy, especially as she was a Huntress and the information would mean she had broken her oath. The truth was she loved Percy, she had fallen in love with him on their first quest, however she had seen how much Percy had cared for her best friend and decided that Percy would never love anyone else but Annabeth. That's why she had decided to become a Huntress in the first place, true she didn't want to be the child of the prophecy, but she knew Percy would never be hers, and so she decided to join the hunt. She was now regretting that decision, all they seemed to do was hunt, and that got rather tedious after a while. She smiled as she felt the warm embrace of Percy, she also knew she hadn't given him an answer yet.
"The truth is Percy, I was jealous of Annabeth. Ever since our first quest, together I have had feeling for you. However when you rescued Annabeth by holding up the sky I knew that you loved her, and so I decided to allow my best friend to be happy. In fact the reason I joined the hunt was because I knew you would never love me, like I loved you, so seeing her dump you for your brother, just sent me over the edge, especially when you gave up godhood for her."
Percy was speechless. Thalia loved him, he had been the reason, she had joined the hunt. Percy wasn't sure what to make of that, after all he had never seen Thalia more then just a friend, now though holding her in his arms, and having her body rest against him, was making him see the daughter of Zeus in a whole new light. Percy didn't know what to do, he knew she was a huntress, but right now all he wanted to do was kiss her. Would that count has breaking her oath? Percy noticed Thalia move from his embrace and turned her head towards his. If by some unknown force, they found both their head getting closer to one another until his lips were brushing with hers. That was it Percy didn't care that she was huntress, he pulled her towards him, and kissed her for all she was worth, soon both their tongues came out to play, wrestling with one another. Percy found themselves falling towards the woodland floor, where the carried on kissing each other. They didn't know how long they had both been kissing, but immediately their was a golden glow beside them, forcing both of them, to break their kiss and shield their eyes from the brightness of the light.
"Thalia! How dare you betray the code of the Huntress. You know men are off limits, you yourself swore the oath. Come here right now."
Percy growled at seeing the thirteen year old girl in front of them, he noticed her long red hair was a blaze and her eyes were glowing. He noticed Thalia give him a sad look before she vanished with Artemis. Percy had been informed by Chiron that Thalia would not be coming back to camp half-blood anymore, due to her breaking her oath. That was the last straw for Percy, he had cut all ties with the rest of the camp and kept to himself. Then came the day when Mark had come back from his quest and all the Gods had congratulated him, along with his ex girlfriend Annabeth. It was then Percy decided that he no longer wanted to be here.
End Of Flash back
Percy sat by the Thalia tree, gently stroking the trunk. This time he would make sure that Thalia did not join the hunt, he was also going to ask his father, if there was anyway for Thalia to have memory restored from the last time-line, has he still had no clue what had happened to Thalia afer she had left Artemis. He laid back resting his head against the tree, he didn't know if Thalia could hear him, or not, but he decided to say it anyway.
"Soon Thalia, it will just be you and me. I won't make the same mistake again, not this time."
Percy found himself yawning and slowly closed his eyes, he suddenly found himself in a room and his father Chaos was standing by one of the windows. Percy walked up to him and stood next to him.
"Rather cleaver of you to use lightning to kill the Minotaur, the other Gods have already began to question Zeus. Hera is convinced that you are one of his secret demigods."
Percy grinned. "Well to be honest I didn't plan it like that, but now you mention it, then it did seem like the right thing to do at the time. Still I wonder how they will react when they find out that I am your son?"
Chaos smirked. " In fear i expect, you have all my powers Percy, even now you could rival any God on Olympus. Expect plenty of trouble when I do claim you. The god will not take kindly to having a son of Chaos running around, especially one who could destroy them with a click of his fingers."
Percy nodded. "Annabeth spoke to me today, even now those eyes send chills down my spine. I don't know if I can do this dad. I don't know if I could cope with seeing her and Mark together again."
Chaos nodded. "I know it will be difficult Percy, but remember, she is not your Annabeth, there just obstacles the fates have erected to stop you from completing your goal. Anyway, come next year, you won't even be giving Annabeth a second thought. I heard what you said about Thalia, and believe I can help."
Percy looked to his father. "What happened to her, when Artemis discovered she had broken her oath? I know she wasn't allowed back at camp, but I didn't now what had happened to her."
Chaos closed his eyes, "I don't thing you want to know Percy. Its a serious crime for a huntress to break her oath, in ancient time the punishment use to be death. However I can see that you want to know so I will tell you. Artemis made her take a dip in the river Lethe when she came out she had forgotten everything. Artemis then turned her into an obedient minion. "
Percy growled. "That bitch, just because she killed her own boyfriend, she think she can ruin the life of every other girl who falls in love. Selfish bitch!"
Chaos could see his son was angry, and he had good reason to be. He then removed a vial from his robes and handed it to Percy. He had decided that Percy did need a companion and with what had happened in the last timeline, then Thalia was the perfect candidate. He handed the vial to Percy
"This vial, contains her memories before she was placed in the river. Tip the liquid onto the tree, and when you release her next year, all her memories from the last timeline will be restored. Both of you then can take your revenge against Olympus. Good bye my son, and I will see you soon."
Percy suddenly woke up to see the sun shining on the hill. At first he thought everything had been a dream, however he then felt something was in his hand. He looked to see a small vial with a misty liquid in it. He stood up and uncorked the lid, before tipping the contents onto the tree. He watched it shine for a few seconds then return back to normal. He then leaned in close to the tree.
"Soon Thalia, we will be together again, soon."
Percy made his way down the hill to find a blonde hair boy looking at him closely. Percy growled at seeing Luke again. Yes he was being controlled by Kronos, but he had been responsible for several deaths during Percy's years here at camp.
"Excuse me are you Percy Jackson? If so Chiron wants to see you in the Big house."
Percy groaned before pushing past Luke, in fact he shoved him so hard that Luke went crashing to the ground. He noticed Luke grit his teeth, before taking out his sword.
"Hey Newbie. No one pushes Luke Castellan around and gets away with it! I challenge you to a battle."
Percy stood still for a few seconds, he then turned around and smirked. "You're on!"
Sword Arena
The news had spread through the camp like wild fire, that a newbie had accepted the challenge of one of the best sword fighters in the camp. Everybody was making their way towards the arena. They all took their seats in the gallery and looked to see the two competitors getting ready to fight.
Percy looked around the arena, he remembered the first time he had fought Luke, he had ended up getting his arse whooped, but now that he had years of sword training behind him, he was going to make sure it was Luke who was going to get the beating. Percy selected one of the swords and some armour. It was now that Percy missed his beloved Riptide. He looked into the crowd and saw Grover standing with his brother, chatting. He then spotted Annabeth looking between the him and Luke. Percy closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them, knelt on the ground, before taking some arena sand and rubbing in his hands. He then stood ready in his battle stance. He noticed Luke was also ready. And was grinning. Percy smirked back . Percy noticed one of the campers stood in the middle.
"First one to disarm his opponent wins. Begin."
Percy wasted no time in mixing it up with Luke, the sound of steel on steel echoed around the arena, Percy smirked as he counted every single one of Luke moves, much to the Blondes surprise. Soon he found himself gaining ground on his opponent, however Percy didn't want to end the fight to quickly, he was enjoying making the blonde look like some amateur, he noticed Luke was getting tired, he was waiting for the right moment to take him down. Suddenly he watched Luke move towards him. He swerved his body, catching Luke off balance. Seeing his chance he tripped Luke making him fall flat on his face, he then stood on his sword arm, getting a scream from the Blonde below him.
"Do you yield?"
Luke, couldn't believe what had just happened, a newbie had beaten him, not just beaten him, humiliated him, in front of the entire camp. Luke felt the pain in his wrist as he felt the pressure of Percy's foot on his arm. Luke cried out as he tried to get up, however the pain ended up being too much for him.
"I yield!"
Percy removed his foot, before throwing his sword down into the middle of the arena. He then leaned down and whispered in Luke's ear.
"Next time I won't play so nice!"
Olympus
The Gods had watched the fight on their viewing globe, again there was arguments taking place. Zeus was getting rather worried about this new demigod, first lightning, then he humiliates the best sword fighter in camp half-blood. Something was terribly wrong. For a start a newbie should never be that good with a blade, he noticed the whole council was looking at him.
"We need to find out who this boy is, and we need to find out fast."
Suddenly there were gasps as everyone looked into the globe once again. They looked to see Percy standing over Luke and small image of a solar system appeared above his head. Zeus immediately went white.
"Chaos!"
