A/N: Thank you all for the reviews favorites and follows. I greatly appreciate them. The beginning of this chapter explains Jackson, so sorry for the long paragraphs. I don't really have much to say in this authors note so let's just get on with the story!

Chapter 7

Jackson's POV

"She has to go!" Zeus yelled at Chaos. After the Olympians showed up Chaos showed up as well and we all went to the Big House. I left Mark, David, and Ashley hanging even though Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon insisted I did. "She could have killed our children!"

Chaos sighed. "You could have killed her when you did the same thing to her. You all gave her the right to punish who ever if she seemed it fitting. Now you are all mad because she is punishing your kids and she is a threat to you?" Chaos starting raising his voice and all the Olympians were becoming scared. He took a deep breath and let it out. "Now, would you mind telling your side of the story to inform my Vanguards and refresh Jackson and my memory?"

Zeus sighed. "She was uncontrollable. She was a brat." I started to stand up from my seat I was sitting in but Chaos put a hand on my shoulder and I sat back down. Zeus continued. "She would curse us every night. She would put the camp in danger by leaving camp and bringing monsters to the border. Nobody would claim her and she could create things out of nowhere. Some of the things she created she used to try and harm us or our favorite children back then. We did what needed to be done."

Chaos looks at me. "Dani, your side of the story."

I nod and begin. "Let's start from the beginning. When I was ten, my mother died. I watched her die. The thing was, it wasn't a natural death or someone randomly shot her. I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard a scream. I went to my mom's room and found twelve people with her. You twelve Olympians were there and you each shot something out of your hands and she died. I gasped and that's when you realized I watched the whole thing. Zeus walked up to me and touched my head. The next thing I knew was I was at Camp Half-Blood. I tried to run away but somehow monsters always found me. I ran back to camp. I did this over and over. One day I used a plasma ball. That was the first day you Gods punished me."

Zeus interrupted. "That's a lie!"

"No it's not. Apollo, did I lie?" I ask him.

Zeus gives him a look and Apollo looks torn. Zeus wants him to lie, but he's the God of truth. He can't lie.

Apollo looks down. "No, you didn't lie."

"Thank you. Now, as I was saying, they punished me. I was ten and they did that to me. This happened very frequent since I was a year rounder. By age sixteen I ran away again, this time all of the Olympians sacred animals came after me. I, of course, ran back to camp again. When back I confronted the Gods and they all denied it. All except Apollo, of course, because he can't lie. That was a sure sign I knew they hated me. At age seventeen, I started picking on the Gods' kids. Of course, they hated it and punished me even more. The beatings became harsher. At age nineteen, I ran away, and again, more monsters and the sacred animals came for me. When I was running Chaos first showed up. He took care of the monsters and animals and faked my death. So the Dani Jackson you all knew, is dead. I became Chaos's number two and learned my powers. There's more but if I tell you." I shook my head. "Never mind. That's my side."

I got up from my seat and walked out of the Big House. Let them all discuss without me. I can't handle being in the same room with those people right now. Not even my squad, boyfriend, or the three Vanguards. I decide to go look at my three victims. I stand behind them and from the looks of it; they all look like they are dying, which doesn't surprise me. I go to the front of them and they all have a frightened look on their face. I should feel bad for them, but I don't.

"How are you all feeling?" I ask them all.

"If you're here for another round, just get it over with." Mark says.

I sighed. "I proved my point. I'm done beating you all for now. Next time, watch it before you do something stupid." I unchain them and they all fall to the ground. I start to walk away then stop. Without turning around I say. "Also, learn your manners." I continue walking.

I went to the beach and just lied there. I watched as some of the younger camper ran across the beach laughing. Behind them were, I'm guessing, their siblings trying to catch them. But no such luck, little kids always have the most energy. I looked to my right and see a couple walking my way holding hands and enjoying each other's company. To my left was an Athenian girl reading some book on architecture. That's a big surprise. I closed my eyes and I could still see the light shine through. A few seconds past before someone blocked my light. Without opening my eyes I talked to my light-blocker.

"Excuse me, but you're blocking my light and I'm not in the mood to talk. So walk away."

"That's not really nice." Said a familiar voice. "Where are your manners?"

I open my eyes to a smirking Percy. "Haha, what a comedian. How did the meeting go after I left?"

He shrugs. "The Olympians started yelling at Lord Chaos and he got pissed. He yelled at them all saying he was Lord Chaos and he was in charge. They all looked like little scared dogs. Then Chaos said that they needed you or else the Greeks would fail." I did the go on sign with my hands and he mumbled something under his breath.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"I said, Zeus said he wants Nico, Thalia, your squad, and me. But not you." He said in a small voice.

I closed my eyes to think. Zeus doesn't want me here and neither do the Olympians. They are being really stupid with their decision. I can take them all out, same with all the Titans, and I would still have energy to take on the Giants. Does he really want to deny me? Is he really that threatened by me to sacrifice the safeness of the camp? Well you know what? Let them fight their fight by themselves.

"What are you going to do?" Percy asked me.

"I'm going to talk to Chaos. If you don't see again, it was nice to meet you. Same with Nico and Thalia."

"You can't leave! What about your squad?" He asks me.

"They are my squad and they'd come to me after this job. I also said IF I don't see you again, I might see you again Percy." I reassure him.

"But that's an if. A big if."

I give him a strong smile. "See you when I see you, nephew."

He shakes his head. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that."

I smile. "See ya, Percy." I walk away from the beach and head to the Chaos cabin.

I walk through the door and luckily, nobody is there. I breath out happy no one is here to question me. I didn't even realize I had breathed in. I walk to the basement. The basement has computer screens all over one of the walls. Another wall has two transporters with a pedestal to control where you are going. The third wall has guns, knives, and other weapons we use. The last wall I think was Leo's favorite to build and I know he begged Annabeth to put it in. It was a snack bar filled with, snacks, sodas, alcohol, and a little television.

I went to the transporters and typed on the pedestals Chaos's headquarters on Mars, knowing he would be there. I stepped on the transporter and everything went fuzzy. Within seconds I was in Chaos's room. I looked around and he was nowhere to be seen. I shrugged and went to sit on the floor beside his throne. Apparently I took a nap because the next thing I know I woke up to Chaos clearing his throat. I quickly stood up.

"Father." I nodded my head. "The Olympians don't want me to help. I'm getting tired of them. What should I do?"

"Depends," He starts off. "Are you asking me as a father or as Lord Chaos?"

This question takes me by surprise. I think a little then I know my answer. "I know you want me to ask for fatherly advice, but not this time. Tell me what to do as Lord Chaos."

He sighs. "Alright then. As orders I want you to do…"

Percy POV

That whole conversation with Jackson took me with shock. I might never see her again. And before you start thinking stuff, yes I'm over her. I just feel close to her. Now, I won't see her again.

After my conversation at the beach I went to go eat dinner, since it was dinnertime. I walked to the dining pavilion. I walked past my old Poseidon table, the Zeus table, and the Hades table. At those tables were obviously Mark, David, and Ashley. And they looked awful. Their bandages were all over their bodies. On their faces were more bandages and you could see the blood oozing out of it. The blood still fresh looking. They all looked at me and I gave an apologizing look, no matter how much I hate them, they didn't deserve it. They all gave me a quick smiles then went back to their food.

I went to the Chaos table next and they all seemed oblivious to the fact that Jackson might never come back. Then again, I don't think she even told them. I went to the table and sat down with my food.

"Now that you're here, Percy, has anyone seen Jackson since the meeting? I'm a little worried." Alex asks us all. Everyone besides me shakes his or her heads except me. Alex turns to me. "Have you seen Jackson, Percy?"

"Um, yeah. I just got back from talking with her on the beach." I told him.

"And what did she say?"

"She said she had to go talk to Chaos." All of Chaos's squad groaned. "Why did you all groan?"

"Because," Lexi started. "When she goes to talk to Chaos, she goes all Commander."

"And what does that mean?" Nico asks.

"When she goes all Commander she tends to only care about her mission. Nothing else matters except the mission." Amber informed us.

"And that's bad?" Thalia asks still confused.

"Very." Adam and Joey say simultaneously.

Everything goes silent after that. I don't understand what's so bad, but whatever. My food wasn't that appetizing for some reason. I don't know what it was, but again, whatever. Today is Friday and it's capture the flag. I love capture the flag and maybe this will get my mind off Jackson.

After I finish-eating Chiron blows the conch and we all go over to him. He explains who will be siding with whom. I don't really pay attention much on whom we are with. And frankly, I don't really care. I just want to capture the flag and fight. Even though there is no real danger, I just want to fight.

After capture the flag, it ended at eight, we all went to the campfire. Our team won, of course, so the campfire is going to be fun. I went to go sit down next to Nico and Thalia since I haven't really talked with them today.

"Hey guys, long time no see." I greet them. Thalia waves at me then continues eating her smores.

"Hey, Perce." Nico greets me back.

"So, how are you two doing?" I ask them while looking at their hands, which are holding each other. Nico and Thalia blush so I decide to torture them another day and let them be happy today.

Nico mumbles something under his breath.

"What was that, Neeks?" Thalia asks.

"Yeah, what did you say, Nico?" I ask him equally eager to know what he said.

"I said, Holy shit." Nico informed us.

"And why would you say that?" I ask as Thalia turns around to look behind her.

"That's why." Thalia says pointing to Jackson walking this way in her full uniform, including her helmet, so you can't see her face.

Her squad runs up to her before anyone can react.

"There you are, Dani. Where have you been?" Lexi asks her.

Dani's helmet looks like one of those motorcycle helmets with the protective glass in the front so you can bring it up. Jackson lifts up the protective glass so you can see her face. She gives her squad the death glare, the one that is most absolutely terrifying. Her squad immediately backs away and looks like scared puppies. They look like their scared their master will beat them for talking out of line.

First Alex gets on one knee and bows his head respectively. Next Lexi does so as well, and then the rest of the squad does so as well.

"Commander," Lexi starts while raising her head slowly as if scared that's not what Jackson wants. "What are our orders?"

"Your orders are, when done with this job you will come with me. Never to return." Jackson says while showing no emotion.

"A-and you?" Adam asks equally, if not more, scared as well.

"Classified, Adam."

She walks right past them and walks straight up to Chiron. She whispers something in his ear and his eyes open as wide as can be. He then looks furious.

"That will not happen!" He yells at her.

She sighs and whispers something that I think I make out as Chaos's orders. And then, surprisingly, he yells again.

"I said before it will not happen!" This time he pushes her and she shakes her head.

She walks on top of the table Chiron usually sits at and clears her throat. "Campers, until further notice, I will be in charge of this camp."

I hear a bunch of whispers and finally someone talks, but I don't know whom it is. "And when will that be?"

"First, no talking out of line. Two, it will be until my squad and the three Vanguards are done with their work." Jackson says while showing no emotion. Murmurs erupt and the whole camp went berserk. "No objections." Jackson added while getting off the table and heading to the Chaos cabin.

I looked at Chiron and his face was red with anger. I don't think I have ever seen him that mad before. He's a good guy, the only one that cared about Thalia, Nico, and I after we left. Now, he's being treated like dirt. He doesn't deserve that. I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm going to talk to Jackson.

I stand up and start walking to the cabin. Halfway to the cabin someone taps my shoulder and I turn around to see Lexi and Alex.

"Don't do it." Lexi tells me. How did she know?"

"It's a suicide mission." Alex adds.

I sigh. "What gave it away?"

Lexi looks at Alex then back to me. "You had the same look Alex had the time he tried to talk to Jackson while she went all Commander. Didn't end well."

"What happened?" I ask Alex.

He cringes as he's remembering the memory when he confronted Jackson. "Let's just say it wasn't pretty. As Lexi said, it didn't end well. And this was when we were dating when she did this to me."

"I made up my mind, guys. I gotta try." I tell them both.

"Why are you so determined to help her?" Alex asks with a slight tone of jealously.

"Don't worry man. I'm not going to take her from you." His face relaxes. "I just want to help her. It's what friends do."

He shakes his head. "You have no idea what you're getting into, Perce." He walks away back to the campfire.

"Good luck, Percy." She smiles a sad smile and walks back in the same direction as Alex.

I continue walking to the Chaos cabin to talk to Jackson. She can't be that bad can she? I don't know what she did to Alex, but it didn't seem like she just talked to him. He looked pretty bad just remembering. Gods, I hope I make the right decision.

I finally reach the door to the Chaos cabin. Here goes nothing. I open the door and walk in.

A/N: Can you say CLIFFHANGER? So, what do you all think Jackson will do now that she's going all Commander? Also, how do you think Jackson and Percy's conversation will be? And if you think that's all of Jackson's backstory, than you got a lot to learn. There's always more to the story. All right, that's all for this chapter. Give me your thoughts on it. Likes? Dislikes? I will always take them into consideration. Until next time, REVIEW!
