-Previously on ALpha: Chaos' Commander-

Thalia and I sprinted to the Big house, so by the time we arrived we were out of breath and panting. All of the cabin counselors were already seated and most were noisily talking. Thalia and and I quickly took our seats.

The gods were at the front, seated in the same formation they sat in at Mt. Olympus.

-NOW-

Zeus cleared his throat. Immediately the room quieted. "We have been informed of a new threat … Gaea's rising was just the beginning of a bigger plan to end the gods existence-"

"And you exiled one of the greatest demigods of all time!" I snapped.

Zeus' eyes narrowed. "You will not speak that way to me-"

"It's true, isn't it? Percy helped us win 2 wars! Without him we wouldn't have stood a chance!"

"Jackson is a traitor! He-." Everyone watched us argue, like a tennis match.

"What makes you think he did it? Percy doesn't even know how to freeze water yet! Think about it! Why would he kill those innocent campers? His fatal flaw is loyalty! He wouldn't betray us, or kill his own parents! He was framed!"

Athena's eyebrows scrunched up like she was thinking. "Then why would anyone kill those campers?! What would they gain from it? What's the purpose?" She asked. A sudden thought came over me.

"What if … what if the person who framed Percy wanted to get rid of him so he wouldn't participate in the upcoming war… ?"

The temperature in the room seemed to go down several degrees.

As if on cue Nice burst into the room looking like he ran a marathon. "Percy…" He gasped. "He died a few minutes ago! Some hellhounds knocked him down and killed him… He was innocent! I communed with the dead! They confirmed that!"

Everyone in the room turned to the god of the Underworld for confirmation. Hades closed his eyes as if concentrating. After a tense silence that seemed to last eternity, he opened his eyes and sighed sadly. "Perseus Jackson is confirmed dead."

I covered my nose and mouth with my hand to stifle a sob. I took a shaky breath to attempt to calm myself though I could already feel the tears flooding my vision. I failed to notice that the whole room was completely silent. An ugly laugh interrupted the shocked quiet. Everyone turned to where the sound of pleasure was coming from-Jax.

I gritted my teeth in anger, but stayed quiet as he began to pace around the room.

"You know, manipulating you half-bloods was easier than I thought. Your savior? Dead-and it's your doing. Oh, and news flash for you, Gaea with Nyx is rising once more!"

"You killed those campers, didn't you?" Athena hissed.

Jax just smirked smugly. "Of course, this is all part of Gaea's plan. An ancient prophecy foretold that her downfall will be a son of Poseidon."

"Who are you?" I asked. "I mean, really."

He looked at me straight in the eye that gave me shivers. "I am Ajax Johnson, son of Clytius and I work for Gaea."

"Traitor!" Jason yelled angrily. Simultaneously three lightning bolts were struck at him by two angry children of Zeus and the god of the sky himself. When the dust cleared all was left of him was a smoking crater, but something told me this wasn't the last time we would see of Ajax Johnson.

Chaos erupted across the room.

"We're all doomed!"

"Another war?! Seriously?!"

"Percy's gone!"

"What have we've done?"

"What we have done? What you have done?"

"Cookies!"

"What's going to happen to us?"

"It's all your fault!"

"My fault?! You mean yours!"

"We're all gonna die!"

"Let go of my arm!"

"We can handle it!"

"Shut up, stupid!"

"Everyone, be quiet I'm feeling something!" Hades thundered. Gradually, the room silenced. Hades concentrated. If he could get paler he did. I was usually good at reading emotions but he seemed rather shocked. There was something else in his eyes… he looked almost hopeful.

"Perseus Jackson.. He is no longer in the Underworld."

While the room returned to its chaotic state, I slipped out the door unnoticed. I started to walk towards my cabin then gradually started to jog which turned into a run which turned into a sprint.

As I dashed into the Athena cabin my siblings tried to ask about the meeting but I ignored all of them. I packed all the stuff I thought I might need in order to find Percy-nectar, ambrosia, my cell phone, extra clothes, food, drachmas, an extra weapon, and mortal cash.

Grabbing my ivory sword, I turned to my siblings. "If you want to know about the meeting talk to the other cabin counselors. Malcolm? You're in charge while I'm away."

"Where are you going?" Malcolm asked frowning.

"I'm going to find my boyfriend."

And with that, I turned on my heel and walked out the door.

From that day on, for another 70 years I looked for him, but I never found a trace of him anywhere everywhere around the world. The only reason I stopped was because I realized how much camp needed me. Even after all these years I never forgot a certain son of Poseidon who managed to capture my heart.
