Percy's POV

The next day early in the morning Percy took a cab and arrived at Camp Border. He entered the boundary and headed to Big House to inform Chiron about his arrival. Conch horns blew informing the campers about the arrival of a Half-Blood and upon reaching the Big House Percy could already see head counsellors of cabins walking towards the big House. Chiron and Mr.D were playing Pinochle when Percy entered.

"Hi Chiron", Percy smiled.

"Percy!" Chiron face morphed into surprise and shock. "Where were you all these days?" Even Mr.D looked at Percy in interest. Counsellors entered the room and gasped at Percy. Some of them were wounded much or less. Jake Mason limped towards Percy. "Hi Percy. We missed you during the battle you know".

Percy said Hi to everyone and turned to Chiron. "How did the battle go?"

Chiron looked at him in surprise. "you knew about the battle? Why didn't you help?"

"Chiron I was on a secret mission for Zeus. I wasn't allowed to contact or inform anyone during the mission. I knew about the battle and i was sent to weaken the army". Percy answered.

Chiron sat back. "well that explains a lot. Our IM messages didn't get through. Sally didn't know where you went. Even Hypos children were unable to track you in the their dreams."

"Yeah i was concealed. So how did the battle go?" Percy turned around for Annabeth but she wasn't there. Malcolm was there for Athena cabin and for some reason he didn't meet his eyes.

"We won. Not many casualties. The Half-Bloods were captured and their brain were cleaned up by Dionysus here, now they are one of us".

Percy nodded at the god of wine. "Not bad Mr.D, you are good sometimes".

Mr.D snorted. "I am a good person Perry Johnson".

Percy looked around again. "Where is Annabeth?"

"She is in the infirmary, making some sort of medicine with Will". Travis replied.

Percy turned to Chiron "I will fill you later, I have to go now"

"Um Percy?", Malcolm interrupted.

"Yeah?" Percy asked.

"Be careful, She might not he very happy to see you". Malcolm looked away.

"Why? Whats wrong?" Percy asked.

Nobody met his eyes. Percy left the Big House in confusion.

Annabeth was in the infirmary when Percy arrived there.

"Hi Wise Girl". Percy waved at her and stepped forward.

Annabeth looked up form her work and Percy saw a wave of emotion pass her face. Anger, shock, sympathy. Percy couldn't decide what she was thinking. Probably to judo flip him again or stab him.

"Hi Percy," Will grinned. "Glad to see you again". He saw Annabeth's face and left the infirmary in hurry.

Annabeth crossed her arms. "Where were you?" She didn't sound hurt or happy to see him again which Percy found very odd.

"nice to see you again. I missed you too" He said sarcastically. "Geez Wise Gir thats how you welcome your boyfriend when he met you after such a long time?".

Annabeth didn't roll her eyes which was again very odd. She asked again. "I said where were you?" Percy knew that Annabeth must know about his mission but he couldn't tell her because Zeus made him swear on Styx. But he knew what to do. "Wise girl, I know that you are angry at me for disappearing without telling you. I can't tell you about it but someone else can. Wait till the dinner I promise. I gotta go now". Percy left her there and ran to Big House.

Percy could't tell the campers about where he was for the past few months but Mr.D can. So he asked Mr.D to tell the campers about it or else Annabeth was going to kill him.

"Hmm. Alright Perry, jus this time". Mr.D promised. Percy thanked him and left.

At dinner time Mr.D stood up from his chair and stood in the middle of Pavilion and popped his can. Everybody went silent. "Alight Campers listen up. Today Perry Johnson came back from only Zues know where. You all must be thinking that where he was for the past 2 months and why wasn't he at camp during the battle." Everyone nodded. Mr.D continued. "So here is the answer." Mr.D pointed at Percy. "He was sent on a mission to get the 15 halfblooded which we received a month ago and then he was sent to weaken the enemy's army which was going to attack this camp. I am going to say it only once so listen. He helped you save the camp again"

Campers burst into applauses. Connor fist bumped him while a Aphrodite girl kissed him on the cheek. The attention made him uncomfortable but for once, he embraced the love of campers. Then he mouthed Annabeth to meet him at the beach in 15 minutes and sprinted to his favourite spot.

Percy was gazing at the waves when he felt someone approaching. Annabeth sat beside him. "So you are again on the spotlight".

"You know i hate attention" Percy smiled. Annabeth only shrugged. "You asked me to meet here, want to talk about something?"

"walk with me". Percy looked at the sea.

"You know when i was on that mission i kept thinking about our relationship".

"What about it?" This time Annabeth looked at the sea.

Percy didn't even hesitate. "I was thinking about our relationship that we have been together for a long time and now I think since we are old enough we should take a step forward now".

Annabeth looked at him funny. "Don't tell me that you are thinking about moving in together".

Percy smiled nervously. "No no. M saying that" Percy waved at the sea and a wave approached. Percy fell on his knees and before Annabeth could register that what was happening a girl emerged from the foam of waves and handed Percy and small box. Percy opened the box infront of Annabeth.

"Annabeth Chase you are" "Percy stop" Annabeth interrupted.

Percy blinked. "What?"

"Don't do this"

"Wise girl don't worry about your mom because" "No" Annabeth interrupted again. "Percy its not about my mom, its about me".

Percy closed then box and stood up in confusion, the smile on his face gone now. "Annabeth what are you talking about?"

"Percy i wanted to talk to you about it but you just disappeared. I don't think we have a good future together. I am sick of you disappearing again and again like that". Percy looked at her in confusion. She further added "What i meant to say is that we should end this thing up right here, its not working".

Percy felt like someone stabbed him in the heart, which was exactly how he felt like. "Not working?"
Annbeth shook her head "Percy i know its hard for you to say but trust me its for the best" . "After all we have been through together now...not working?" Percy almost whispered.

Annabeth gripped Percy's forearm. "listen Percy we can still be friends you know but" Percy shook her hand off. "You cheated on me"

"what?" She asked in surprise.

"Apollo, he...he told me the other day that you were now going out with someone else." Percy looked very hurt.. "He said you were dating the half-Blood that i sent here with Apollo."

"jayden... but" Annabeth confessed.

Percy continued. "I didn't listen to Apollo because i loved you so much and so blindly that i didn't see it end, i didn't want it to end. I gave up immortality for you Annabeth walked through Tartarus with you, just to be with you and now you" He looked at her in disgust. Suddenly his tone changed. "It doesn't matter now, We are done Annabeth Chase".

Annabeth wanted to say something but the huge sea waves made it clear that the son of Poseidon was not in a good mood. Percy ran towards his cabin and didn't look back. Not even once.

"I hope you will forgive me Percy." Annabeth held back a sob and bent down to retrieve the box from the sand but before she could touch it the girl who brought Percy the box snatched it away. She looked at Annabeth with disgust, chattered like a dolphin and disappeared into the sea waves.
