Forbidden Love (Perseus&Annabeth)

Isolation

Hi readers, before I begin my story I just want to explain some of the changes I made to the plot and characters such as:
•Percy is a god(of rough tides and blood bending)
•He accepted immortality after the Titan War and is feared even by Zeus himself. He has lived in his underwater palace for five years
•Thalia became the leader of the seven and the demigod of the prophecy(she didn't join the hunters)
• And I'm not telling you about Annabeth just yet lol (:

Let's start!!!

Five years. That's how long I've stayed here, under the ocean, more than 400 meters deep. With nothing but the creatures of the deep to accompany me.

Poseidon said it was for the best, with everything that lead to the moment I became a god, it was safest if I were to isolate myself for a while, decades even. He promised me that the time would pass quickly and once I came back up everything would have died down and I wouldn't have to worry about my reputation anymore.

Well, he was wrong...

Everyday was a living nightmare. I roamed the empty halls of my palace, studied every creature that lurked in the shadow among me, every minute trying to distract myself from my thoughts, my memories, so that they didn't consume me. So that she didn't consume me.

The worst of it all was the quiet. The silence so deafening some days it overwhelmed me...almost to the point of insanity.

I was sitting on my throne when I decided to leave. Disobey my father and go as far away as I can from this dreadful palace. He hadn't sent his merpeople to check up on me for almost a year now and I'm certain if I lay low, he wouldn't even realise I'm gone.

I wouldn't even be gone long, maybe a day or even a week, and after 5 years I'm sure something more interesting would have come up to replace the talk about me. One thing I didn't want to hear again if I were to run into somebody, is the talk of my past.

I just hope I don't run into anybody who might recognise me, or may have been a friend of mine before. I'm overcome with a sense of dread. Especially her, but I shake my head at my own stupidity, the chances of running into her are as slim as finding a pod of dolphins near my palace.

Anyways it's been 7 years she probably won't even recognise me, won't even miss me. How warped is it that after all this time, the thought of her burns through my mind, since she left all I think about is her, being with her, compelled to find her.

I breath in deeply and sigh, the past is the past, I might as well put it behind me and focus on the future. And what I need right now is a breath of pure, fresh air. It's time to return to land.
