New chapter! Thank you everybody who's reading this story. I hope you are enjoying it. In the next chapter we will start with Chao's stuff. I want to put some training and such too. In many stories it is like… Magic you are super powerful in some seconds! I like the part where Percy train, it's real, but it will not be very long I promise.

I'm really sorry for the many grammatical and spelling mistakes. I hope you forgive me. It's true that I write this story to entertain you and make you have a good time, but also to practice my English.

About why I take so long to upload the chapters, well it is because my writing is rather slow, but I will try to improve. My goal is to upload one or two times a week. Although now I want to start a new story. It's not the one I mentioned in another chapter, that fanfic still needs a lot of approaches, since as I said, I think it is completely new. The one that I want to write now it's a story about Percy in Alaska. They are so cool, I really enjoyed the ones that I read.

Remember that the characters are OOC. Making them like Rick did is impossible for me. They are in my way, but I also try to make them as close as possible.

Again, thank you for reading my fanfic. I hope you enjoy this chapter and the whole story.

P.S: 2800 words not bad xD

No, I don't own Percy Jackson characters and plot. Uncle Rick does.


Piper POV


Now it's my time to explain this story. I want you to know that I love Jason, but recently he's been a total jerk. It all started when his "brother" David arrived. He is not a bad dude. He can be funny and seems to care about people. He's also pretty good with the sword, he fights well if I tell you the truth. As Jason, he also has the ability to fly, but he does not have that much control. He's only been here for a month.

The problem is that he has an ego the size of the Empire State Building, and when everyone began to tell him the stories of Percy, who at that moment was with the problems of having fallen to Tartarus. From what Annabeth told us something had affected him in particular, he was no longer the same. Neither were we the same, but he was especially different.

David began to say that Percy would not be so good, that surely we were exaggerating the facts. Then we started to believe it, we all had a grudge against Percy for how great he was, because we were not just like him ... Some more than others, Jason, for example, began to say that he deserved more, and things like that. We have come to have great discussions because of this, he does not want to admit it but as a son of Zeus he wants control, and is behaving like a cocoon lately. Yeah, he is my boyfriend. But I wish I had somebody like Percy… He's caring, stronger than Jason, more muscular, hotter, with those eyes... Gosh mom! Get out of my head and do not ever make me think like that again!

Where was I? Ow, and when Percy disappeared without a trace, Annabeth took very little time to start talking much with David, to meet at all hours. At that moment I knew Annabeth had gone page, as a daughter of the goddess of love I noticed this kind of things. I do not know why she did it. With what Percy has done for her, and how good and handsome he is... And those biceps ... DAMM IT MOM! Can you stop already?

*Sorry babe… Okay, I stop now. But I just encouraged what you already think of*

Whatever... Before the second interruption I was saying that my head was thinking about some things not too good about Annabeth. It is true that she is my best friend, but to betray someone like this... so fast and after everything they've been throw...I thought that if Percy returns one day, he wouldn't be very happy to find that his girlfriend has been with another boy, (well, as we've seen he is not).

We all knew that Annabeth was dating David, and we were pretty mad at her, but then David told us about Percy's betrayal. And we get past the theme of Annabeth, and we all hate Percy, Well, I have to say that I do not. After all His fatal flaw is loyalty, it is impossible that he betrayed us. No? But I also followed the group with their intentions...so…

Then we spoke with the gods so that when he returned he would be punished. Surprisingly, (note the sarcasm), no one had trouble accepting that Percy was betraying them, only Hades, Hermes and Hestia appeared to defend him. Everyone, (except those mentioned before) claimed that Percy was an enemy, a problem against the Olympus and the world, that fame and power were changing and he was a threat. Even his father did not say anything, which shocked us a lot. Lately they have been arguing a lot because Poseidon hid two children, both one year younger than Percy in a random hotel, protecting them from the great prophecy, monsters and problems of the world. They lived "happy" while Percy had to save the world twice. Fight against Kronos himself or Mother Earth. Even fall into Tartarus. Finally we all agreed, gods included, that as soon as he returned from his disappearance (if he did) he would be judged for treason.

Back to our main theme, yes, we believed David, mostly because the envy we held to Percy blocked us thinking clearly. I must admit, I also have some envy to Percy. Always saving us, or willing to reject twice immortality to be with his girlfriend. Even fall into Tartarus! I do not think Jason would do that for me ... Percy's always perfect, he never complains about anything... and that makes us envy him. It's like a resentment, a stone in the shoe that never stops bothering you. And if you listen to it, things like the ones we're doing to Percy happen, which takes us to the point where this story continues.


TIME SKIP TO THE LAST CHAPTER CLIFFHANGER


Ycrep started to surround us with the black water. I realized that the water release smoke, as if it were an acid. I have to say I was really scared, maybe more so than when Percy and Jason fought each other. I still have problems with that memory, if I had not decided to tell Blackjack to knock Percy, he would surely have killed Jason. At that moment, Annabeth decided to speak as she always does when she does not know something.

"Why does the water give off smoke?" She said.

"I have already answered you Athena's daughter. It is not water but poison" Said Ycrep.

With that, he made a slight movement with his hand and the venom began to rise by the legs of all. No one moved, we were all absolutely stunned. It continued and continued to rise. Then it gets to my hip, and at all's at the same time. Jason started to react and tried to move his legs to release, but no matter how much effort he put, it did not seem to have any effect on his release. Leo, Frank, Annabeth and Hazel tried the same thing, but then they left when they could not either.

Since I had nothing better to do I tried too, and I managed with little effort to free myself of the poison that was now approaching my chest. I was totally free now. Ycrep did not seem to care, since he was now laughing with a sound that seemed to fit Hades himself. The others asked shouting at me that as how I did it, I told them that I had simply tried as they had and had been able to. Quickly everyone tried again the same, without any effect. The venom was on their necks and continued the ascent, covering their entire body.

Everyone had faces of despair and sadness. On the verge of collapse. I was not much better. I could not bear to see my friends about to die at the hands of my best friend. So I will try what I do best, talk. With all the remaining strength, I put all the Charmspeek I had in my body in the words I was going to say.

"Hey Ycrep! Why don't you release them? So we can continue talking more... friendly and quietly" I tried my best, I swear. I put all my effort in that sentence. But Ycrep just looked at me as if I had not said anything at all.

"Good try Beauty Queen. But the Charmspeek has no effect on me. If you ask yourself why you are free and they are not good ... now you will know. Just wait" He answered.

With this, he made another movement with the hand and the poison covered the face of all my friends, except Thalia. She was stuck everywhere, but her face was intact. I saw the unconscious body of each of my friends fall to the ground. (Well less Thalia's as I said). The poison now heading to Ycrep. Surrounding him

"You've killed them! How could you?!" I shouted

"Chill Piper, I did not kill them, they're just unconscious. Almost without pain, Percy continued insisting on not harming them severely. So they will only have a hangover that will not be very nice, but it is nothing compared to what I could have done. And they deserved the worst for betraying us. Betraying Percy" He said.

"Okay dude. Now, why we are free and they are like that?" Thalia asked.

"Well Thalia Grace, Percy and I agreed to say thank you to you. You are the only ones that envy has not blinded you completely. Just a little bit, but not completely. And, we thank you, especially Percy. I would have liked to do you some damage, but the boss will not let me. Ah, Thalia, if you ask why Piper is free it's because she has no intention of killing me, you instead ... yes. If you ask as we know it, let's say it's another of my powers, I notice your feelings" Ycrep said.

"Then you know we did not want to betray Percy. I swear. He's my best friend, my cousin. Tell him we're sorry, th-"

"Stop! Enough daughter of Zeus. He will not forgive you either, not now, and not for a long time" He said.

"Well…I think you have every right. But just tell Percy that we're sorry. I hope someday he'll forgive us. I hope… And, what will you do now?" Thalia asked.

"Now we will leave, you cannot do anything to avoid it. When the gods arrive, and they will be within 120 seconds, tell them that Percy is gone and has no intention of returning. Do not try to find him. He wants to be alone, to disappear" Ycrep said.

"But they will try to find you… or him. Stay here with us. We will solve this!" I said.

"No. We won't stay. Again thanks to both for not leaving Percy completely" Ycrep said

"What do we do with our friends?" Thalia asked

"When they wake up and have the regrets of knowing what they have done, tell them it is not their fault at all. You must have a meeting with the gods about Percy escape and about David, tell the gods to ask him for what he saw, to ask him for the truth" Ycrep said. With that he shouted something and Cerberus, the infernal dog, appeared from the shadows. I must say that that was really cool. Ycrep then climbed onto his back.

"Please! Don't leave Percy. We will solve this. As we always do. We're friends!" I shouted.

"Piper McLean, I know what you feel for Percy. I will keep your secret. Percy won't know. I think Thalia can do that too. We can't stay. But maybe, he will see you again someday. Maybe" With that he just disappeared. And I cried more. A lot more…


TIME SKIP- ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER


After five minutes of trying to wake up all my friends, with no success, 14 figures appeared out of nowhere. All the most important Olympics were here, including Hades and Hestia. My mother winked at me and I tried to smile, but ended up being more a grimace. The energy that the gods give is incalculable, everyone here together was quite afraid. But they do not have angry faces, rather indifference or sadness.

"What happened here?" Athena asked.

"Well, as you know, we were waiting for you to judge Percy. For betraying us. Something that we seem to have been wrong about. But before that there was a fight between Percy and David, which ended with David on the ground. The reason for the fight was that Annabeth was kissing David when Percy appeared. Later while we held Percy, David fired a very powerful bolt of lightning at Percy. We thought he had killed him, that we had killed Percy. But this one got up and..." I was crying again.

Just thinking about what we've done to Percy, forget about if he is guilty of treason or not. We've just shattered it inside. We almost fucked our friendship with him. That if we see him again. Because I'm sure he'll never come back, but I'll get him. I'll find Percy.

"Piper honey, can you continue. It's okay. I know you can do it" My mother said.

"It's okay Beauty Queen, I will explain them the rest" Thalia said.

"Go ahead daughter" Zeus said imperatively. The gods do not seem too worried. But they will be when we finish the story. When they know that their hero has disappeared and is not guilty, or so I think now.

"Well, as Piper was saying, Percy got up an-"Thalia was saying, but then Poseidon interrupted.

"Wait! I can see that except you two and Percy, the rest is here unconscious. Where's Percy? Where's my son?" Poseidon said angrily. In the sea the waves grew again.

"About that… If all of you let explain Thalia the rest, you'll understand" I said.

"As I was saying, Percy got up, but it radiated a dark energy, a very powerful aura. It turns out that when Percy is about to die or negative emotions surpass the positive ones, his alter ego takes control of his body. That is the opposite of Percy, the evil that Percy has not demonstrated and blah blah blah. It's Percy but it's not Percy at the same time, I think Athena has understood what I mean" Thalia said.

"I think so, daughter of Zeus" Athena answered.

"Do you mind explaining it then?" Hermes asked.

"What Thalia means is that Percy's alter ego is all Percy is not. Evil, bad person, aggressive... Surely Percy has endured many negative emotions, these have shaped his alter ego" Athena said.

"It turns out that it is not only evil and all this stuff, he it is very powerful too. From what we have seen he is able to create poison and control it, apart, he can also read the mind or something like that" I explained.

"And then, where is Percy?" Hestia asked.

"He… Percy's alter ego, Ycrep, used the poison to surround us and immobilize us. Then with the poison he knocked them all out, made them unconscious. Except the two of us because we are the ones who believed the most in their innocence." I explained.

"If he has done something like that, he is guilty, right? Where is he to be annihilated?" Ares shouted.

"Not so fast. He told us that he was not guilty, that you should ask David for the truth" Thalia said.

"Okay, but again where is that man?" Artemis asked.

"When he finished explaining this to us, Cerberus appeared from nowhere. He jumped on the back of the infernal dog and disappeared" I explained.

"Ow, he's the reason why Cerberus is not in the Underworld with me. Why?" Hades asked.

"Well, he did the twelve labours of Hercules to prove to Athena that he is worth to be with her daughter. And when he arrived and he saw that Annabeth was kissing David, he exploded. And you know the rest. By the way Athena, did you explain to Annabeth why Percy was missing?" Thalia said.

"I ... Yes ... No ... No, I did not tell Annabeth. When we knew that he was betraying us, I decided that it would be better for her to forget that man. So I did not tell her anything so that she thought he had abandoned her" Athena answered.

"So… It's your fault that Annabeth thought Percy had abandoned her, and then Annabeth was with David. Which caused Percy to get so angry and bad emotions outweighed the positive ones. And then Ycrep appeared" I said.

"Yes, but he is still guilty of treason" Dionysus said. I really HATE that man.

"As Thalia said before, he told us that you should ask David about the truth. The real, real truth" I said.

"Okay, I'm going to try to get them up" Apollo said.

"Apollo, stay here and try to get them up with your powers. The rest, let's go to Olympus to discuss some things. When they are all awake and recovered we will return again to talk to David about what he saw. At the moment Percy is still guilty of treason and is a fugitive" Zeus ordered. I think that since Percy saved the world a second time, Zeus likes Percy. Because his words about betrayal and such have not sounded all bad but rather doubtfully.

With that they all flashed out except Apollo. We decided that we should take them to the infirmary and cure them there. In that building we will be calmer so that Apollo can work better. Once they were all in their berths, the god set to work immediately. Thalia and I decided to leave it alone. We each went separately. I needed time to think about everything, so I decided to approach the Golden Fleece tree.


TIME SKIP- WHEN PIPER IS IN THE TREE


While I was thinking about everything that had happened recently, in front of my Athena appeared in a gray ray. I quickly bowed and asked her in the most formal way possible.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit, Lady Athena?" I asked.

"I would like to have a conversation with you about everything that has happened lately, and in particular today. We want more details, I need to know more details" She said.

If I have to tell the truth, writing is enchanting. Finding this page has been something new for me, a new world that is wonderful. Here there are people with an incredible imagination, a grace to write, or a transmission of feelings that I hope someday to get in a language that is not my main. Actually, it is the third as I have said sometimes.

About the reviews, just do what you want, but if you review I will be very happy.

I think now you know more of the character pairing there will be, I think it's pretty obvious. No?

I have already lost count of the times I said thanks, but I insist. Thank you for reading my story, to which I dedicate as much time as possible for you to enjoy.

See you all in the next chapter!
