Ch. 3- Percy's Rage

Annabeth's Pov

I stood there shocked. Who would have done this? Percy isn't going to like this.

"Hey. Trevan. Can you hear me?" I said gently touching him.

He coughed. "Ann... a... beth? Wh... at ha... pp... en... ed?" Trevan asked weakly.

"I don't know. There was this boom and a flash of white. My guess is that you were struck by a bolt of lightning," I told him as I tried to stay calm. "Just stay still. I'm going to get Percy."

Percy's Pov

Right after Chiron declared my team winner, there was this big boom and it illuminated everything white. When everything returned to normal I looked around, but nothing seemed out-of-place.

"What was that Chiron?" I questioned the old centaur.

"I don't know. It could have been Zeus because I'm pretty sure that that was lightning," Chiron assumed.

I looked around and noticed two people were missing. "Where are Annabeth and Trevan?" I thought aloud.

"They're over by where Trevan's flag used to be. Annabeth just exploded when she saw Trevan, and she started thrashing her dagger at him. After that I just..." Clarisse answered.

I ran off before she could finish. "Annabeth! Trevan! Where are you guys?" I shouted.

Hopefully they weren't injured. I ran towards the cliff, and saw Annabeth kneeling.

I smiled then saw whom she was kneeling next to. "Annabeth, what happened?" I asked with a shaky breath.

"Well… Umm… There was this flash and a boom. When I turned around I saw Trevan like this," Annabeth explained.

I knelt next to Trevan. "Hey. Trevan you're going to be fine. Just hang in there."

"Percy. You know I won't make it. Just do me a favor. Destroy the gods. They did this to me. I was struck by lightning. Who else can control lightning that big?" He smiled weakly. "Good bye Percy," and with those last words Trevan closed his eyes and his body went limp.

I started to weep for my brother. After a few minutes the rest of the camp joined us. They saw Trevan and had a pained expression.

"Percy. I am so sorry for your lost," Chiron whispered.

My weeping turned into shallow gasps. "Don't be. It was Zeus," my voice was rising. "Zeus killed my brother! That bastard ruined my life!" now my honor to the gods was lost.

"But how do you know that? Did you see Zeus?" Chiron queried.

"No, but he was struck by lightning. Who else can control lightning?" I exclaimed.

"Percy…"

"No. I will get revenge on the gods. I will do it for Trevan's sake."

"But how do you know it was Zeus who killed him?"

"Chiron! Look at his injuries! Do those injuries look like it was from a weapon of some sort?" I shouted angrily. "And besides, Thalia and Jason aren't here. That means no one that I know of could have done this.

"Calm down Percy. Let's think this over," Annabeth pleaded.

"No. There is nothing to think over. I will destroy the gods, but first I am leaving," I said.

Annabeth's eyes widened. "But Percy. Where are you going?"

"I will find power. Power that is strong enough to destroy any god."

"Enough! You will stay here." He turned to the rest of the campers. "Prepare a ceremony for Trevan. Also, make sure Percy doesn't leave this camp!" Chiron announced.

At the amphitheater: 3rd Person Pov

Everyone gathered around the fire and Trevan's body.

Chiron started off the ceremony with memories of the few days Trevan was with us. Then Percy did the honors of burning his brother's body.

"To the most incredible brother I ever had. Especially since he was the only brother I have had. I hope he can rest in peace," Percy said thoughtfully. In his thoughts he promised to get revenge on the gods for the sake of his brother.

Everyone bowed their heads and prayed as Percy sent his brother's body in flames.

After the ceremony was over, every camper went back to his or her cabins and went straight to bed without another word.

Annabeth's Pov

After the death of Trevan I thought Percy seemed a little enraged. During archery he would seem so frustrated that he would lose aim and almost pierce another camper. While practicing his sword skills, he would skewer one dummy and swing his sword so hard at another that he would slice the head clean off, and his sword would even go flying out of his hands. When someone walked by and said something to him he would start yelling at them and just walk away. He seemed to be taking out his anger on everyone, including me.

One evening I tried to talk to him. "Umm. Percy? Can I we have a little chat?"

"Whatever. Just make it quick. I don't want to talk to anyone longer than needed," he replied with some frustration in his voice.

"I was just wondering if you were okay because you haven't been talking to me like before Trevan's…"

"Don't even speak his name! You don't deserve too!" Percy shouted.

"But Percy," I tried to calm him but couldn't.

"No! I don't want to talk about it!" He was close to tears.

"Seaweed brain. Just take a deep breath," I calmly answered.

"No… Just leave me alone!" He got up and turned to leave. "I'm sorry Annabeth." And with that he ran off.

I burst into tears. "Oh Seaweed brain. It must be so hard for you," I said miserably, not even knowing what it was like to lose a brother you just met.

Over the next couple of days Percy still hadn't calmed down. He would continuously shout or scream at any one who would try to talk to him. Since he wouldn't calm down I just decided to follow him around. I continued to do this secretly until one night he sneaked away towards the beach.

After dinner, Percy went straight to the beach, grabbing a pack, full of who knows what, on the way there. Once there he focused on the waves and made them wrap around him, just like a funnel cloud. Just before he could launch himself across the ocean, I ran towards him.

"Percy! What are you doing?" Annabeth probed.

"I am going to seek power. Power strong enough to desroy the gods," he answered with satisfaction.

"But didn't Chiron…" I started, but once again he interrupted me.

"I don't give a crap about what Chiron said! I am going to do whatever I like do," his voice rising.

Tears started to roll down my cheeks. "Percy. You don't have to do this."

"Yes I do. It is what Trevan has asked of me. Now, if you are not coming with me then I will be on my way," he had a slight beg to his voice.

I knew he wanted me to come with him, but at the same time I knew I would be breaking the rules. Thinking back to the times I had with Seaweed brain I actually broke the rules a lot.

"Seaweed brain you know I can't."

"Whatever then. I guess you can't break a rule for your "Seaweed brain"."

Anger welled up inside me. "You know what! I don't care what you do anymore! Go ahead and get revenge on the gods! I'll just make sure to stop you later!" I screamed.

"Fine." Percy didn't seem angry at all, but a little hurt. "I'll see you sometime later then Wise Girl." He turned and catapulted across the ocean.

I stood there stunned. All I was thinking was, "What just happened?"

How was it? I know it may not have been any good but I was kind of busy and I just wanted to get a new chapter up as quickly as possible. If you have any suggestions for the story I will gladly add it in. As long as it is appropriate. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
