Percy's pov
I've been running for several days now, running from my friends, my family, everyone that I cared about. After running all day I stopped by the ocean. I sat down on the warm sand and hugged me knees then I started crying. I couldn't stop thinking about what I did. I killed all those demigods. I killed Nico, the boy I considered my brother, why? There was just one thing that I was still trying to figure out. Why did I enjoy killing those demigods?
Every night I would dream about I did and I would laugh… laugh. How can I laugh at something like that? I stared at the horizon and watched as the sun descended in the sky. "Nico I'm sorry." I whisper.
A lone figure walked out of the ocean. The sun was in my face so I couldn't make out who the person was. But I had a feeling nothing good would come if the person saw me. So I jumped to my feet and grabbed my stuff and ran.
The figure ran after and shouted. "Percy wait!"
I knew that voice. I stopped and turned around. "Dad" I turn around and walk back over to him, but I keep my hand in my pocket where riptide was. He may be my father but he was an Olympian. I sit back down on the sand and my father joins me.
"Percy what are you doing?" my dad asked. "Why do you keep running? Do you realize how bad this is?"
"I killed them. I killed all those demigods, I killed Nico." I whispered. "I… I didn't know what else to do."
"Son please come with me to Olympus we can get this all sorted out." My dad pleaded. "We can reason with Zeus and you can come home."
I laugh at what my dad said. "Reason with Zeus. No one can reason with the king of the gods, dad."
My dad grabbed my shoulder. "We can Percy." My dad insisted. "We can tell him that you weren't yourself and that you were sorry for what you did. I'm sure he will understand."
When my dad said that I realized something. I found the answer to my question. "That's the problem dad." I give my father a dark look. "I'm not sorry for what I did." My dad slowly moved away. "I enjoyed it."
"But… but why were you crying earlier?" Poseidon asked, confused.
"Because I killed Nico. The boy I considered as my brother." I said sadly.
Poseidon jumped to his feet and backed up a few paces. "Percy what happened to you."
I shrug. "I don't know. Maybe it's because of the wars." I smile. "I guess after all the wars I enjoy killing. Or maybe it's because all these years I've been holding back."
"Who are you and what have you done with my son?" Poseidon backed away further. "No son of mine would take pleasure in killing others."
I got up and walked closer to Poseidon but he stepped away from me. "You know very well Poseidon that I am your flesh and blood. Why deny it?"
Poseidon summoned up his trident and pointed it at Percy. "I will not have a son that is a murder. Zeus decreed that you should be killed I tried to make things better, I tried to bring you home. But no more. You're coming with me to Olympus; we'll let the gods decide your fate."
I pulled my pen out of my pocket and pulled of the cap. The pen quickly grew into my sword. "No way Poseidon the minute I step foot on Olympus the gods will kill me."
"Percy don't make me do this." Poseidon pleaded.
I crazily smiled. "Bring it."
I raised riptide and charged at my dad. I aimed at my dad's chest but he grabbed his trident with both hands and blocked my attack. I step back and attack again. Every attack that I make at my dad he blocks. My dad shoved me forward and I feel into the ocean. The water gave me strength, I stood up and felt the water around me recede. I turned around and found a giant wave hurling towards me. "SHIT!" I raised my hands up to deflect the wave. I saw a giant flash of green and blue light and everything went black.
Poseidon's pov
I couldn't believe what my son said. He enjoyed killing those demigods. I summoned up my trident and prepared myself to fight Percy. Percy summoned riptide and attacked. My son and I were evenly matched. Neither of us could get a blow on each other. Every time I attacked Percy, he blocked. Just like every time he attacked, I blocked. I had to come up with a plan quickly, I pushed Percy into the water. Probably not the best decision I made, because it Percy stronger. I raised my hand and summoned up a giant wave. Percy turned around and raised his arms to shield himself. I saw my chance and sent a bolt of energy from my trident at Percy. The bolt hit Percy and he collapsed.
I ran over to his side and made sure he was okay. "I'm sorry Percy, but you left me with no other choice." I whisper. I pull out celestial bronze handcuffs and cuff Percy's hands behind his back. I pick him up and flash to Olympus.
Annabeth's pov
It's been several day since the incident, several days that the camp has been covered by a storm. The gods were angry while everyone at camp was sad, angry, or confused. I was all of them. Sad that Nico was killed, angry that Percy is a killer and confused about why it happened. Every time I thought of this I cried.
There was a knock on the door. I wipe the tears from my eyes and open the door. It was Thalia. Her electric blue eyes were red and puffy from crying.
"Hey Thalia, what are you doing here?" I sadly asked.
Thalia wiped her face. "Chiron wants to see you."
The minute I head Chiron I rushed passed her to the big house. I went into Chiron's room. He was sitting in his wheel chair, his chest all bandaged up.
"Chiron are you ok?" I asked.
Chiron turned around a little bit and winced. "Yeah I'll be fine child suffered worse when that building fell on me during the battle of Manhattan. I think." He smiled.
"Soooo…" I replied.
Chiron's face changed more serious. "So how are you feeling child? You know, about him."
Are we not saying his name any more? How can you not say his name? I thought to myself. "You mean Percy, how do I feel about Percy?" I said angrily. "I hate him. I absolutely hate him. He… he killed them, he killed Nico, he killed his brother."
Chiron scrunched his eyebrows. "Was there something going on between you and Nico."
I was taken aback by this question. "No, why would you ever think that?"
Chiron studied me. "Because of the way you talk about him. Is that why Percy killed all of them, because of you."
"NO!" I shouted. "I would never cheat on Percy. Never."
"Then why do you talk about Nico that way?" Chiron angrily said.
"Because I was helping Nico." I whisper. "I was helping Nico get together with my sister, Maria.."
Chiron looked shocked. "Oh gods Annabeth I'm sorry… I don't know what came over me to make me say such things to you."
I give him a small smile. "It's ok Chiron, we're all suffering because of the massacre."
I wheel Chiron outside so he could see the other campers. When we got outside a bright light appeared in front of us. We quickly looked away, when the light died down Hermes stood in front of us.
"I bring news from Olympus." Hermes shouted. "The Hero, now fugitive Percy Jackson has been caught. The gods shall decide his fate tomorrow evening. Zeus expects everyone to be there."
All the campers stood there shocked.
The caught him. They caught Percy. I thought to myself.
