"Wise girl!" Percy called out, looking to the left and right wildly for his 'wise girl. He stumbled past his cabin, rushing forward towards Cabin 6, hoping Annabeth was in there. The sun shone brilliantly over Camp Half-Blood as Apollo rode his sun chariot across Zeus' domain, although, Percy figured his cousin was simply putting his ipods in his ears and shaking his head slightly as he listened to a random pop song while his chariot drove wildly across the sky. The grass crumpled under the weight of each step Percy takes when he is running, his orange Camp Half-Blood shirt snapping in the soft howling of the wind. Campers around him were in multiple groups, mainly based on cabins, while the counselors tried to scurry all of the demigods through the early activities. The Son of Poseidon stopped in front of Cabin 6, Which in a basic sense of explaining, was a miniature version of the Library of Congress. How Percy knew that? He has no idea: but it probably has to do with something simple, like he maybe was living in the US and maybe his girlfriend was this architectural fangirl? Probably. He quickly knocked, once, twice and thrice until Annabeth opened it. Her blonde princess-curl hair was frizzy and all over the place, the orange shirt she was wearing seemed crooked but that didn't stop her from smiling at Percy when he stumbled in front of her. "What's up, Seaweed Brain?" She questioned, leaning against the side frame of the door whilst trying to get the sleep out of her eyes. Percy nodded vigorously, his head going up and down like a forced dolphin, "I'm going to my moms real quick. Just want to let you know. See you later, Wise Girl!" Annabeth laughed at Percy's expression which held a dire need of 'rush.' She had been with Percy long enough to read his emotions. He wasn't the best at hiding them, that's for sure. Percy stood there, just waiting for her to finish as he was trying to get to his mom's as quickly as possible as she had Iris-messaged him to come, for a surprise. "Well? What're you waiting for? Go!" Annabeth joked full-heartedly, shoving Percy backwards with her hands. The Son of Poseidon nodded, flashing a grin at Annabeth and running away towards Thalia's tree. He made it right beside the Daughter of Zeus' tree, Peleus, the dragon, was curled up around it as small puffs of smoke blew from his nose. "Hey, buddy." Percy soothed the dragon, however, Peleus looked up but didn't give Percy an inch. The Son of Poseidon grew annoyed but he already knew that Peleus was playing with him. The smart dragon knew that Percy grew annoyed when it acted like Percy was just another threat, which proved the fact that this was a fricken smart dragon. "Well. I'm going out to my mom's, she said she had a surprise for me." Percy explained softly towards Peleus. A stare-off grew between the 2, which is surprising at how easily Percy could bond with animals. To pegasi, to hellhounds, and even to a dragon. It just shows the full extent of how much of an influence Percy could be to the wild; but Percy, being the modest person he was, just said that Pan gave him the blessing of the Wild in the Labyrinth, but no one bought it. Well, perhaps a few satyrs that murmur something along the lines of 'a filthy-human being having a natural bond with the wild? As if. Pan must've somehow favored him.' But none spoke out, fearing the wrath of the new Lord of the Wild, Grover Underwood. The stare-off soon turned into minutes of unblinking eyes until Peleus huffed in defeat, nodding towards Percy. "Thanks!" Percy quickly thanked the dragon, standing up abruptly, and running out of camp. He quickly ran through the simple forests, getting to Montauk where he had parked his car that was given to him by Hermes, the God of Travelers. He has to thank his cousin. The tree line shrunk smaller and smaller as Percy ran farther and farther. The Son of Poseidon jumped once, just for a small amount of entertainment as his ADHD is higher than the average demigod. He landed onto the sandy beach, his shoes clamping onto the shore and letting sand fly up into the sky, the look-a-like dust falling to the ground. A small amount of joy bubbled hauntingly in his chest, letting it known that he still has his childhood antics. He loves them however. He kept running forwards until he made it to his car, a sea green toyota. The Son of Poseidon fumbled for the keys on the dashboard, grabbing it and starting the car up. He idly wondered what the surprise was going to be, but he knew it was important as his mother called him. Usually she never calls him to come back to the house unless it was for school; she just Iris-messages Percy and they just chat but Sally never invites him to return to the house. He drove his car through the small road that led to Montauk, letting his instincts take over as his consciousness definitely cannot even remember any of the controls. He passed through the barriers of the beach site and kept driving, eventually making it to Manhattan and passing the border. Brooklyn Bridge looked like it was under reconstruction when Percy passed it, a pang in his chest suddenly allowed a huge wave of sadness wash over him as he remembered Michael Yew's death clearly. A 16 year old shouldn't be experiencing dozens of deaths, but yet, he had been experiencing them since he was 14. The car kept the pace up, letting it ride itself towards his mother's apartment. He halted the car, stopping it and walking out of it. The Son of Poseidon walked into the apartment complex, the receptionist just nodded her head in acknowledgement as she already knew mostly everyone in the whole apartment, except perhaps, new people. Percy nodded back and walked to the left where the stairs were, opening the door to them. The stairs went into view, the brown-gray color seemed bland in the apartment but Percy just shrugged it off. He started skipping step after step, rushing up. He didn't want to ride another elevator as he wanted to get to his mother's apartment as quickly as possible. He made it to the reignited floor, letting his eyes go freely towards the ground as he instinctively walked towards a door and knocked. His mother opened the door, a huge smile on her face and she squealed, bringing Percy into a very tight hug. "Mommmm!" Percy complained loudly. "You're here for the surprise, aren't you?" A voice asked from beside the hugging duo. Paul Blofis walked into view, another huge smile on his face, identical to Sally's, making Percy raise his eyebrow at his step-father: letting the amusement wash over him when Paul blushed. "What is it?" Percy asked excitedly, pulling away from the hug and walking into the apartment, closing the door behind him. Sally pulled out a suspicious looking thermometer which the screen in the middle showed 2 perfectly straight red lines. "What is that?" The Son of Sally asked questioningly, completely oblivious to the whole thing. Sally rolled her eyes, pointing with her pointer-finger towards the thermometer, she answered, "This is the pregnancy test thing. You get it now?" Paul nodded in agreement, slowly sighing at his completely ignorant step-son. Percy's eyes widened in alarm before sweeping his gaze towards Paul with a suspicious glint in his eyes. The husband of Sally felt blood rise to his face at his son's calculating gaze until Percy returned his eyesight to his mother. Percy was confused at first until Sally explained it, which is when he figured out what it meant. His mother was pregnant. "I'm going to be a big brother?" Percy asked quietly, staring at the pregnancy test thing until Sally nodded her head with a wistful look in her eyes. Percy laughed, tears of joy being evident in his face as he quickly hugged his mother. Now, Percy never had a sibling. Sure Tyson was alright, not awesome, but he never had a mortal one. Well...he does have a lot of siblings. In a common sense, he is basically the brother of all living cyclops and Pegasi. Which is extremely weird when they call out 'Mi' Lord!' Percy didn't really enjoy that. A brother who is preferably older than another, yet calling out his name with the uttermost respect? That is weird in Percy's opinion, but he also knew that Zeus was the King Of the Gods: so basically all his siblings have to call him that. Back to the topic in hand, he always wanted a mortal sibling. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION) Either one child of Poseidon or just his mother. Although he didn't know it would be this fast. "I have to tell Annabeth!" He whispered in the hug. "Go tell her." Sally grinned towards Percy who nodded quickly and ran out of the apartment after pecking his mother's cheek. The Son of Poseidon ran out of the apartment complex, got into his car, and started speeding after pissing off multiple drivers who honked at his teenage speeding, much to his amusement. He just snapped his fingers, controlling the mist to where the car wasn't there at all, making the driver's stop honking their annoying horns or blaring them right into Percy's ear drums. When trying to concentrate, you definitely don't need dozens of horns and adults screaming curses right into your ears. Percy eventually made it to camp, getting out of his car faster than a cat jumping onto a bug, closing the door and running into camp where he saw Peleus seemingly grinning at Percy's return. "I'm back buddy!" Percy waved his arms dramatically towards Peleus, patting the dragon's scaly but soft head, and listening to the purr of pleasure from the dragon.Peleus' gaze caught with Percy's, asking a silent question which Percy immediately understood. "I'll tell you later, I just got to find Annabeth." Percy informed swiftly towards the dragon, letting it nod its head in affirmative as Percy stood up. His eyes scanned the whole of Camp Half-Blood, looking for Annabeth until he ran forward, accidentally bumping into Chiron. The centaur's face brightened when he saw Percy, but his face quickly morphed into one of scolding. "Perseus Jackson! Where were you? You didn't even bother to consult me! Do you know how worried I was? This time, Kitchen Patrol for the day!" Chiron scolded before pulling Percy into a hug. "Jeez! I just went to my mom's. Also, I got a surprise to tell you, but later. Where's Annabeth?" Percy asked once Chiron had let go of him. He found it a bit rude for him to have Kitchen Patrol just for going out for a few minutes, barely an hour. Chiron's face turned into one of a calculating one before tipping his head, deep into thought. "She's at the beach I believe." He answered solemnly, looking sadly at one of his most favorite students like he never saw a fate like Percy's before. The Son of Poseidon nodded, ignoring the sad tone in Chiron's voice. "Thanks!" Percy thanked Chiron cheerfully, letting Chiron's face fall a bit more deeper. He was completely ignorant to the whole thing, waving a goodbye at Chiron, he ran towards the beachside. Suddenly a part of his brain just clicked, making Percy question the sad tone in Chiron's voice before he just shrugged it off. It was probably better just to tell Annabeth that his mother was pregnant. He figured her reaction would include something of congratulations and/or shock. The waves softly splashed onto the shore, not big enough waves to cause damage but just small waves, no smaller than a foot. They flooded through the sand, the rip-current pulling small sand particles and the sea back into the Atlantic. The water glistened under the bright sun, which probably meant Apollo was grinning at this point. The wind was more powerful, although not by much, by the beachside. Percy's shirt was flinging side to side, letting the wind go through his body. His raven black hair snapped through the wind as another gust picked up. Fish swam curiously towards the shore, looking onto Perseus which they quickly bowed and yelped out a, 'Mi' Lord,' much to Percy's hate. His sea-green eyes swung through the beach, looking for a familiar set of blonde princess curls until he saw them. Yet, there was another set of hair, brown hair. He looked closer, just hoping they were just chatting, not doing what Percy thought they were doing. Wait, Percy shook his head, Annabeth wouldn't cheat on him. Never. After all, she loves him...doesn't she? However, the closer he walked forward, the more dread came into his stomach as their features came into view. They started chatting as their hands flew side to side, Percy quickly rushing to the side, out of the shoreline and entering a small bush. A dryad appeared right beside Percy, joining in the fun at spying on them. Another one joined in, then another one until Percy started to grow annoyed. "Be quiet." He ordered quietly towards the dryads. "What are you doing, young one?" A dryad asked, her green hair tied into a ponytail, exposing her pointy ears and green skin. "Spying on my girlfriend with another man." Percy grumbled before turning around to spy again. The ponytailed dryad's eyebrow rose, but Percy ignored her as he listened intently. Being a dryad doesn't mean she can't have fun, and being a super secret spy with no other than the Savior of Olympus? A wondrous time to have. "I can't believe he would do that." Annabeth told the other boy, while Percy still had no idea who the other boy was. "Hey. I can't control what that stupid Son of Poseidon does. But you can always look for more choices." The other boy answered back slyly. Annabeth took a breath, making Percy freeze at what the Hades she is even thinking at this point. "You're right. I shouldn't have doubted you. I love you, Xander. I love you more than Percy. To be honest, I don't even think he even loved me at all." Annabeth sighed, before placing her lips onto the supposed 'Xander's'. The Son of Poseidon froze in horror. Heart-stopping and wrecking horror but he watched as Xander reciprocated the kiss, although it didn't look as passionate. His expression turned to one of fury, the aura around him increased, making the dryads yelp out in surprise and quickly poofing away in twin poofs of green smoke but Percy didn't notice this as he charged out of his hiding place and confronted his now-ex. "What are you doing!?" He yelled out in fury, he probably figured that he would've broken down crying if he tried confronting them before, but this time, he was furious. Annabeth quickly jumped up, turning around and letting her curls fall to her sides with an angry expression on her face. "What are you doing!? Cheating on me!? Who's the girl!? Oh, wait! I just figured it out! You were cheating on me! If Xander wouldn't have told me, you would've just kept leading me on!" Annabeth yelled back, each yell making a crack into Percy's hardened heart. "You really believe what Xander is telling you?" Percy fired back, glaring at Xander who had an arrogant smirk played onto his crusted lips. Percy has to soon wipe that smelly, no-good smirk off Xander's face but he has other problems at hand. Never in his life would he believe he would be put into this situation. But the Fates think otherwise. "He is telling me the truth! You never went to moms! He said he saw it himself that you went to another girl! You cheated on me!" Annabeth yelled back, getting even more angry. "So you really believe him over me, Wise Girl." Percy whispered, hurt heavily. "I AM NOT YOUR WISE GIRL! YOU LOST THAT PRIVILEGE!" Annabeth yelled, her voice seemed to bring the entirety of dryads all into green puffs of smoke in synchronization, creating multiple small puffs of green dust that combined into multiple bigger ones. "I WENT TO MY MOMS! I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT! But look here! You are cheating on me, you know what? We're over." Percy growled back, squeezing his hand into a firm fist. Annabeth quickly pulled out her bronze dagger and pointed it straight at Percy, as if threatening to gut him with only her knife. "We are over, since you started cheating on me." Annabeth spat, eyes ablaze with anger. Xander was still sitting there but now he just laid down onto the sand lazily, a huge smile on his face. "Just ask him if he is telling the truth or not!" Percy screamed, starting to cause a commotion as people started stumbling to the floor from their various activities. Annabeth's face turned into a small smile as she turned towards her boyfriend, "Isn't that right, babe. You saw him." Percy felt hurt right there, Annabeth really thought he cheated on her. He wouldn't even do that, he would've rather been tortured for years than to cheat on her. But now he saw where her allegiance was, she never had trust in him. And she never would. Xander just started laughing, falling to his sides before wheezing, trying to suck in his breath. "Wow. I didn't expect that to work out that well!" Xander started laughing once the words came out of his mouth, making Annabeth's face turn into one of realization as her eyes widened. She quickly turned towards Percy, a heartbroken expression on her face as she took a step towards him. Percy took one back. "Percy!" Annabeth called out helplessly but the Son of Poseidon shook his head and an even more heartbroken expression grew more valiantly onto Annabeth's face. At one point he would've just hugged Annabeth and comforted her when he saw that face. At one point he would've been up all night just to comfort her. At one point he loved her. Not anymore. Not evermore. "Goodbye, Annabeth Chase." Percy turned towards the sea, ignoring Annabeth's pleas of him giving her a second chance and that she loved him, he jumped in it. Swimming, swimming as far away as he possibly can, but he knew he couldn't outswim his pain. But he sure as heck can make it not happen again. (4/16/21-4/21/21)

Percy swam through the salty yet refreshing and beautiful waters. Fish scurried away, not wanting to be in the way of an angry, betrayed, and heartbroken prince of the seas. The Son of Poseidon, however, betted that the fish were now spreading rumors, which probably had something to do with why he was like this. But fish didn't have feelings, so they could never figure out why until someone announced it. He idly wondered if his mother was worried about him but he put that thought behind. Suddenly a presence appeared beside Percy, a comforting aura around the figure. His Hawaiian t-shirt hung loosely around the tanned figure. But once you see the tan, you can easily find out that this man was either a Son of the Seas or the King Of the Seas himself. Yet the godly presence exposed the person to be Poseidon. "Son?" Poseidon whispered out, shocked that his son was in the water with a heartbroken expression instead of with his girlfriend. But anger for whoever did this to him. Percy didn't say a word, he just choked out a heartbroken son, full of anguish, and hugged his father whilst crying into his shoulder. The God of the Seas wasted no time hugging Percy back, trying to comfort his son. The last time he ever saw Percy like this was after each of the deaths he had to endure during Percy's quests. Did someone else die? Someone close to Percy? Poseidon hopes not but the Fates really do enjoy making Percy's life a living Tartarus, so it wouldn't surprise Poseidon but make him simply charge up to the Fates and demand Percy to have a happy ending. If anyone deserved one, it would be Percy, no question nor doubt about that. Silence washed over the father and son, the father just confused while the son tried to reel in his sobs. "S-sorry." Percy murmured, pulling away from Poseidon and connecting his sea-green eyes with Poseidon's power-radiating sea-green eyes. The Lord of Horses frowned, looking into Percy's eyes and trying to find out his son's problems as Poseidon definitely does not want to see Percy having to force out what happened. But Poseidon doesn't see his answer, all he saw was betrayal and heartbrokenness in Percy's eyes; and that scared him to Tartarus. Finally, he couldn't hold in the question, so he just said it in the most best sense he could probably do, "Something wrong?" A pretty poor attempt at finding out what happened. Percy flinched, the flashbacks flooding his mind but he quickly pushed it back. A thought went through his head, Dam. He just built a dam in his head. The Son of Poseidon couldn't but chuckle; but the chuckle was a terrifying one. Both bitterness and cheerfulness made an emotion he couldn't explain come out of his mouth. "H-how do you put this in...?" Percy mused quietly, but loud enough for Poseidon to hear as the seas started growing into a tense state, the mortals above land probably just think a hurricane is about to start, or even yet: A tsunami. "Annabeth dumped m-me." Percy explained, not wanting to go into too much detail nor even exposing her. Although she kind of deserved it...never mind that. Poseidon instantly has his eyes wide, staring in shock at his son. Despite him not being the God of Love: that would be terrifying, but despite that, he knew Percy loves Annabeth. Which was pretty weird as Poseidon's son was dating his father's, brother's, daughter's daughter. "W-what?" Poseidon stammered out, eyes prancing around Percy's face, looking for any sense of lying or Percy's usual sarcastic tone. Nothing. Percy started crying again, burying his face into Poseidon's shirt and letting his sobs escape his mouth. He never had this much sobs, he didn't even know that he could cry this much: but it probably had nothing to do with anything as he never knew that Annabeth would have the audacity to cheat on him. But he didn't deserve her. Perhaps it was best for them to break up. This thought made Percy sob even more. "That daughter of Athena." Poseidon scowled above Percy's head, glaring up to the surface of the water and enjoying the unique and satisfying sparkle of the water being shined on from Apollo driving his chariot over the world and slowly letting the sun disappear from Zeus' domain. He watched as clouds gathered above their position, Stormbringer. Poseidon figured out why Zeus liked his domain so much, it is a satisfying experience to watch the clouds slowly turn darker as Apollo's bright teeth created the beautiful clouds. But Poseidon would never give his domain up for anything, well...perhaps to save one of his loved ones. "Don't-I'll just go blow off some steam somewhere else." Percy reassured, pulling back from the hug. He always questioned, 'If he ever cried in the water, would the tear marks stay on him?' The answer to that is no. But of course that isn't science...is it? Well...Percy shook his head to get lost from his thoughts. "I'll see you...later." Percy waved his head weakly, giving Poseidon a friendly-watery-underwater smile. His father gave Percy a small nod. "Just ask for me when you need me. Here, take this pearl," Poseidon handed Percy a pure white pearl but instead of the pearl he received during his visit in Santa Monica, his pearl had a small sea-green line that circled around the middle of the crystal pearl, "Smash it like you did in the Underworld and I would immediately know you need me and flash there to help you with whatever." The Son of Poseidon smiled a tad bit bigger, glad that he could have the best father he could ever ask for. Not something to complain about, but something to be glad about. "Wait, can you tell my mom about it?" Percy asked hopefully, not ready to socialize with many people yet. Poseidon nodded quietly, making Percy nod in return and swim off while Poseidon flushed away. He swam up to the surface, letting his head pop up over it and the wind washing over Percy's face, giving him a cool off from the heat of his face when he cried. He willed the water to lift himself up, letting his whole body be above the surface. He slowly let himself down, letting his feet connect with the water and standing there. He loved his water power. That is something else he could love. Percy got into a sitting position above the water, closing his eyes and letting himself fall into nature. Listening to the soft flaps of his shirt, listening to the quiet water-waves. He let himself feel the heat of the sun. Luckily Apollo isn't grinning his way, or else it could've ended a lot worse. He lost track of time, but it probably wasn't that long. He thinks. The Son of Poseidon completely forgot about the situation with Annabeth, which is pretty helpful if you are struggling with a heartbreak. He reached through his powers, letting his gut twist as a miniature hurricane appeared around him. The waves lashed onto the water in a radius around Percy. He pushed harder, the waves slamming now into more bigger waves as the once small hurricane turned into a bigger one. He kept pushing his powers until another presence entered the area: one that Percy knew pretty well. "Hello, Triton." Percy greeted, still sitting in the same position but letting a small smile appear on his lips but it faded fairly quickly. He usually greeted Triton as, 'Treats,' but he isn't in the mood at the current time, that is obvious. "Hey, Perce." I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION) The Heir of the Seas greeted back, following the same position Percy was in currently. He completely ignored the wrong greeting Percy gave him, and that doesn't really have perks in it for figuring out his brother's mood: but the only Son Of Amphitrite has these things in his head. "What are you up to?" Triton continued, "Never seen you in the water. Always have to flash over to where you are. No fun in that, you know?" Percy sighed, thinking about the best thing to say to his brother. He knew that Triton was overprotective; perks of being one of the only Sons of Poseidon and Amphitrite. He also easily figured that Triton, no matter what he says, would flash out and start to beat the Hades out of Annabeth once Percy confesses. Truth be told, he isn't that bitter, but he still held remorse against Annabeth. "Blowing off some steam." He explained carefully. He wasn't the best at lying. Which comes into a disadvantage as Triton raised his eyebrow, thankfully, saying nothing. "Want to help?" Percy quickly changed the topic, hoping to not have to explain it to his brother. But at this rate, he would probably have to explain it to the whole camp. Individually. Triton thought about this. He knew that Percy was hiding something. How? He just knew Percy, and this isn't Percy's attitude. Nevertheless, Triton's little brother is a tough fellow, probably the only one who ever bonded with him. Ever. So he just let Percy deal with whatever he had to deal with. "Sure." The 2 Sons of Poseidon both started to concentrate their powers together, letting a hurricane that would make Poseidon himself proud, blow around the 2. It reached farther than Percy's personal hurricane but Triton went extra careful not to accidentally kill some mortals. Poseidon would be both proud and mad at the Heir of the Seas, as when he first did it, his father was framed and pestered by his siblings. A very amusing thing to watch but Triton, after all, had to personally watch over paperwork. It sucks, a lot. "How's Atlantis?" Percy asked, genuinely curious about the situation in his father's palace as it was destroyed during the Titan War and forced to be rebuilt somewhere else. Triton chuckled, clearly remembering what happened during the rebuilding of Atlantis. "The workers are currently redesigning the whole palace. Father was too stubborn to copy the previous Atlantis, so we had to redesign it. Father also wanted the game room to be the first one to be re-designed. Luckily, it was too perfect so then the workers got off lazy and just added a few improvements to the whole thing, making even father fooled." The older brother started chuckling while Percy spared a smile, "After that, he even went to Olympus and proudly announced that the game room was redesigned." The 2 started chatting; Percy avoided the topic about Annabeth and his breakup but talked about everything else, vice versa with Triton. The duo shared an interesting brother relationship, which usually is super hard to achieve with Triton and any of his half-brothers. Yet, they both relished the relationship. They both also looked really similar except Percy was 16 whilst Triton was somewhere in his 6 millennia. They had raven black hair, although Triton's is more chopped and professionalized than Percy's, they both had the surfer's lean body frame along with the beach tan. Sea-green eyes and a lot more similarities, in both personality and looks. "That is the call to leave!" Triton stood up abruptly, placing his hand on Percy's shoulder which Percy also stood up, standing a bit smaller than Triton's 6, 5" frame against Percy's 5, 10". "See you later, bro." Percy replied, looking towards where the sun disappeared over the horizon. Artemis' moon chariot now drove across the sky, stars slowly appearing here and there. Frankly, Percy doesn't care if he is late to return to Camp. Besides, he fought Hyperion himself. What harm could harpies be? Triton nodded, preparing to flash out until he grinned widely towards Percy. "Dad is going to be horrified at our relationship." He pointed out before flashing away, Percy blocking his eyes with his hands until the flash disappeared. He got to agree with his brother for once, Poseidon would be horrified at their relationship, but he isn't going to just throw it out like how Annabeth did to him. Another pain in his chest started, showing the emptiness that Annabeth used to cover. It felt horrible, he felt as if a part of himself was gone. The Son of Poseidon felt sadness in his eyes but he kept marching, moving, and letting the past not catch up to the present. For he is going to make sure this incident does not happen again. He can't deal with another. Much less...live past another. Percy dove into the water, letting the currents push him faster than the average swimmer. He quickly made it to the shoreline of Camp Half-Blood. By this time, Artemis' moon chariot was around the middle of the sky, slowing down slightly at Zoë Nightshade's constellation. Another pain in his chest started as the old feelings when he watched Zoë die in that very chariot while it sped up again. His eyes scanned the beach, looking for anyone. Hopefully he doesn't have to see Annabeth. Percy figured he couldn't really face her since around like 5 hours of distance between the break up. Thankfully, she wasn't there so he swiftly landed on the shore. The Son of Poseidon contemplated on either going back to his cabin or going somewhere else. But Annabeth is probably in his cabin, so he chose the latter. His mind bumped through decision after decision until he figured that he would go to the canoe lake. What better spot to be sulking after a heartbreak than the spot where they officially started dating? Well, a lot of problems come to that but Percy was not that skilled into falling deep into thought as he barely had any practice with it. He quickly ran over towards the canoe lake, plopping down on the outline of it. He watched with wistfulness as he stared into the canoe lake. He just wished. He wished there wasn't any war. He wished he could just settle down. He wished that he wasn't a demigod. He wished he had a normal life. He wished for all his problems to be solved. Just a bunch of wishes that the Gods won't answer. No wonder Luke was so mad, so bitter, so angry. Percy never realized that someone imperceptibly walked up behind him before the person suddenly gasped, making Percy roll his eyes at the random camper who stumbled upon him. "P-percy?" The Son of Sally frowned, he remembered that voice. It sounded like it was aged: but nevertheless, the same voice. He turned around, taking in the person who managed to get behind him until his jaw dropped. Bianca looked healthy. With her olive skin still alive, a new pair of clothes other than the probably burnt-to-crisp Huntresses' clothes. Her hair was falling freely down her back unlike the old braid. Now Percy must really be hallucinating because if he remembered clearly, which he can't, Bianca was supposed to be dead. Bianca chuckled softly, waking up beside Percy and sitting beside him, sending him a smirk in response. "H-how? Are you real? What is happening? Am I hallucinating? What the Hades! This isn't funny!" Percy blurted out, glaring up to the sky as if wondering why the Fates had to remind Percy what he failed to save. Bianca smiled widely, enjoying Percy's confusion before she answered, "The Fates felt bad. They brought me back to life...because...I don't really know." She sighed in confusion, unable to find out the reason why the Fates brought her back to life. The Son of Poseidon was confused, he figured the Fates didn't have a sense of humor, but he isn't complaining. But he questioned, 'What would happen if I keep falling in love, they cheat on me, and another person comes back to life?' He put that thought behind, it was a pretty weird one. But if it worked, he would do it in a heartbeat to bring back his dead friends. "What are you doing?" Percy asked, confused on why Bianca wasn't going to visit her brother but instead visiting him. Bianca frowned, "I don't really know...I just teleported here once they explained it." To be real here, Bianca had no idea why the Fates even chose her. She was foolish enough to kill herself on the quest for just taking a statue: and now they are bringing her back to life? Something must be up. "What happened after the quest?" Bianca asked, not saying after her death but both knew the hidden message as Percy winced. "Well...Zoë died," Bianca instantly interrupted Percy by yelling out, "What!?" Percy winced again, looking down in shame as memories went through his head. Bianca saw this and she faltered, "Sorry." She murmured guiltily. Why was he affecting her this much? She has no idea why. She cursed under her breath, purely guilty from pushing Percy into flashbacks but also completely confused onto why she was feeling the guilt. Of course pushing someone into a flashback is horrible, but she felt a pang in her chest as she saw Percy's defeated form. And that is confusing, especially since the Fates chose her. But another addition to that? Something has to be happening. Something has to be changing. "It's ok." He sighed, composed of himself before facing Bianca again. He started explaining what happened, their eyes connected the whole time. Heartbreak could be healed, Percy found that out at that time. It just takes the people you love to help. Of course he doesn't love Bianca...she's Nico's big sister after all. But a sneaking pit in his stomach showed that there is a chance he could fall for her. (4/24/21-4/30/21)
Chapter 3
Percy Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
The Son of Poseidon has to thank the Fates right now. A bit of sarcasm in it but he still has to thank them for at least making his life a bit interesting. But that thought was demolished because the next thing he knew after the talk with Bianca, he was waking up: with Bianca right beside him. A very embarrassing situation to be in, that is for sure as Percy instantly bolted upright. Anger flared in his system, like a fire being burned through his body. "What are you doing!?" The Son of Sally shouted out, trying to make it seem that he is just not embarrassed about the situation.Bianca quickly woke up, showing her face of confusion as she stood up and took a few steps from Percy to where they were facing each other with a decent amount of proximity between them. "What?" The Daughter of Hades fired back incredulously. It is one thing to live again, but when you wake up, suddenly the first person you see gets mad at you. There and then is a bad situation to be in, especially confusing to Bianca as she was sure that nothing bad happened. "You seriously don't know?" Percy answered back, a bit harsher this time but he was just embarrassed and afraid. The children of Aphrodite always want a good heartbreak, do they want a second one? Percy cursed silently at Aphrodite and all those love Gods and Goddesses for making his life horrendous to live in. "Wha-Why-What do you mean?" Bianca managed out. She was still confused about what was happening. Hades, she wasn't even awake at the time. What was Percy accusing her of? She couldn't do something that bad in her sleep...unless he is still mad about her joining the Hunters and leaving Nico. The Brother of Triton started blushing as he considered the best way to reveal that she cuddled into him. "You-Um...y-" Percy stammered, still trying to shove what was in his mind at the time. Why was talking to her so hard? When he confessed to Annabeth, he didn't have to go through this much stuttering. Bianca tilted her head to the side, staring intently straight into Percy's eyes as she tried to think of why Percy was made at her. "Y-you cuddled into me...last night." He breathed out before anger once again flared inside of him at the thing being brought up. The Fates really must dislike him, they bring him a girlfriend only for her to cheat on him then they bring another girl to him, probably only to break his heart once again? Bianca then felt heat rush up to her face. It was basically the first time in...forever, that she blushed and she almost forgot what it was until Percy revealed what happened. "What were you doing?" Percy demanded, now glaring at Bianca although it felt wrong as she just was brought back to life. Yet the anger at the Fates and those Aphrodite spawns and the love goddess herself overpowered the feeling. "I-I don't know." Her eyes were now huge in shock, embarrassment, and a high probability of dozens of other emotions going around her body. The Son of Poseidon then just lost control, storming away from the spot the duo were arguing in. He entered the pavilion, walking over to his table and plopping down. Now, he wasn't really hungry but the events that occurred washed over him and his face fell. The surrounding campers scurried away at quite an interesting pace, Percy also receiving a whole bunch of confused and worried glances, although, some of those glances were sent to Annabeth who was sitting in the Athena cabin table, avoiding eye contact with Percy. Chiron quickly cleared his throat to grab the attention of the campers as he just did the usual routine, trying to get the attention off Percy and Annabeth. The Son of Poseidon has to thank the horse for at least once, he didn't know what he would do without Chiron. He was so caught up with glaring at his plate that he didn't see a figure sit on the opposite end of the table with an apologizing expression on her face. "Percy-'' Annabeth tried to start up a conversation. She didn't even know, she just saw him leave and when Xander told her that Percy was cheating on her, she believed him. A major injury in her pride had deflated after that and during he might, she had been in Percy's cabin, crying to sleep. Percy never entered the cabin which made her feel a lot worse than before. "What?" He snapped at her, looking up and looking into her eyes that once he would've fallen into them. Love is a pretty hard thing to conquer and this feels like the whole Rachel series once again, although the duo are now good friends. He didn't even know that Rachel even liked him until she revealed it and told him that she was sorry. It made him feel bad but they were on good terms from then on. Annabeth wanted him back, she loathed to be with him again. She knew that it was bad, and she regretted it heavily but now, she could barely use her big head to try and talk to Percy and let them be together again, "I didn't know. I just-," Percy eyes instantly turned into one of anger, "Yeah. And you didn't know. Really must've hurt your damaged pride that increased being with me." It was a harsh statement, but it felt to a relief that it was finally off his shoulders as he just stood up and walked away. Could he not just get some peace here and instead not be fighting a whole emotion. He couldn't be anywhere near her, he just gets flashbacks and he hates them. Percy really has to go through this, the nightmare never ends and especially when Rachel already spits a new prophecy that, with Percy's luck, would come in his lifetime. How would he even be able to tell everyone that he broke up with Annabeth, they couldn't cooperate at the same and they both see that they would have to announce it to the camp sooner or later as the Aphrodite cabin would just spread rumors to the point where Percy and Annabeth would receive lots of attentions. The Stolls would also receive a new opening as they could just create a betting pool with people betting whether or not Percabeth is gone. Which is gone now. Suddenly a large amount of shadows gathered right beside him, indicating that Nico is not a happy boy. Where was Will at this time? Usually that Son of Apollo could easily calm Nico down just by having his presence beside the Son of Hades. What-so-ever, Percy doesn't shame Nico just for liking another boy, it isn't his fault that the Fates also hate him, to a lesser extent. Nico appeared right beside Percy, Bianca was standing beside Nico but she was looking at the ground in shame and guilt, which made Percy feel bad for her. "Why didn't you tell me my sister was alive?!" Nico cried out, pushing forward and grabbing Percy's shirt, although Percy was by far a whole foot taller than the 12 year old, it didn't really matter. Yet the 12 year old could be scary as Hades. Well, saying that he is Hades' only son since WW2, he could be as scary as Hades. Which people could doubt when they see a 12 year old emo kid walking down the streets of Long Island. "I didn't have the time!" Percy threw his hands in the air in a surrender gesture, trying to get his words to go through Nico's head which he also doesn't blame Nico if it doesn't as his long-lost-big sister was alive again. Fortunately for Percy, Nico at least had a more advanced than the average human mentality, so Nico just sighed before stepping backwards. "Don't keep information from me." I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)The Son of Hades came to the agreement, which is a pretty one-sided negotiation but his sister was alive again. Suddenly another void entered his chest at the thought of her joining the Huntresses again. He needs to keep her away from them, even if it ruins his reputation to the Huntresses which he doesn't really care about but that goddess could turn him into a jackalope, and already he had turned into a flower. It wasn't a pleasant experience as he quickly found out, he was claustrophobic. Percy The Son of Poseidon nodded into agreement, "You can give her a tour around." He announced, wanting to spend the least amount of alone time with Bianca. He was still a bit angry but his Fatal Flaw isn't holding grudges. Luckily for him at least. The Younger Brother of Bianca's eyes narrowed suspiciously at Percy. He was already questioning why Bianca won't look at Percy and why he won't look at her and now Percy is telling Nico to tour Bianca around? Nico barely even knows Camp Half-Blood and the only reason he stays at it was because of the Son of Apollo who made Camp life a lot more easier. "You're coming with us." Nico stated, looking back and forth from Percy and Bianca as if demanding for them to agree. They both hesitated, Percy nodding before Bianca as she looked at him with a bit of hope in her eyes. The Daughter of Hades hopes that Percy can forgive her, it wasn't her fault in the first place but he is still getting mad because of it. She feels a hurt in her chest when Percy seems disappointed in her, like how he did when she went into Talos. She hates that feeling, and she doesn't want it to begin again. Percy was finally starting to forget about the incident that happened in the morning as Nico nodded in affirmative before smiling a huge smile that he had never seen since Nico was 10 years old. The last time Percy even saw Nico smile was when it was an evil smirk back during Percy's 15th birthday. It technically wasn't an evil smirk at the time but it did look like one. Nico quickly grabbed his sister's hand and basically replayed the whole thing that happened in the past as he pulled her away, Percy quickly following behind. He completely forgot about what had happened before as Nico slowly turned into his old self as he hustled Bianca around like a donkey in a ranch. He just followed behind in amusement at Nico pulling her faster than she could even take in her surroundings. Percy kept his eyes exploring the area. Subconsciously, he saw Annabeth sulking beside the Athena cabin with her siblings surrounding her and trying to comfort her as the Aphrodite cabin kept arguing about a few love stuff. But he wasn't really looking for them, he was looking for someone else. The Son of Poseidon quickly saw where his target was heading, so he broke away from the group Nico was leading, and ran over to Will Solace. He stepped right in front of him, making Will look up and acknowledge Percy's presence. "Anything you need?" Will asked, looking up and down Percy's body, circling around the Son of Poseidon whilst looking for any sign of injuries. Percy rolled his eyes, "Nico's going crazy right now." Not the best way to put it but it was enough for Will to freeze, look up to Percy's face for any sign of lying or sarcasm but seeing none. The Son of Apollo quickly went stiff before blurting out, "Where is he!?" The Son of Sally started chuckling as he grabbed the 13 year old's arm and pulled him towards where Nico and Bianca probably were. Truth to be told, Percy lost track of the duo so Percy and Will just walked around the whole camp looking for Nico and Bianca. Will kept asking for every single detail along the way, completely worried for Nico. He wasn't afraid to admit, and he was gay. Yet he maybe has this small crush on the Son of Hades. Yet, he felt horrible all the time as he is gay but Nico probably wasn't. So it was just a one-sided love, but Will still held out hope that Nico was gay too as Nico never looked at a girl like that. Percy finally entered the outskirts of the forest where Nico and Bianca were standing, Nico pointing to various areas of the forests and explaining everything, which Bianca finally was learning something around the place. Will's eyes quickly widened in horror, Nico was holding a girl's hand with a huge smile on his face. All hopes for Nico being gay completely demolished as a heartbreak he never experienced ricocheted throughout his chest. Tears sprung to his eyes but he couldn't keep in his emotions anymore; He pulled away from Percy's grasp and ran away, trying to find a place to where he could just be in to deal with the feelings flying around in his body. He didn't want to be anywhere near anyone anymore, he wasn't even in a good mood anymore. Overall, he was just heartbroken and that was his worst fear that he thought could've come out of liking Nico. The Prince of the Seas was confused at why Will ran away, he was willing at one point but right when he saw Nico, he ran. Percy wasn't really the relationship guy, he hadn't even known that Annabeth liked him if she had not just kissed him. But when someone saw their crush, they ran even though they were willing. Perhaps, Will was just nervous? Probably...hopefully."What's wrong with him?" Nico questioned worriedly, he couldn't be that bad. Will was the only one to accept Nico, other than Percy and his close friends, but Will actually spent most of his time with Nico. Slowly but surely Nico fell for Will, but there was hope that since Apollo had male lovers, his sons could inherit that. "Who is that? Nico, Percy?" Bianca asked, changing her gaze from Nico and Percy while questioning them silently. Who was the boy? She always knew that Nico was gay, but was this the boy? And if it was, why did the boy run away? "That's Will Solace, Son of Apollo. I have no idea what's wrong with him." Percy answered the 2 Children of Hades. He doesn't even know what was wrong with Will? At first Will was enthusiastic about helping Nico, but right when Will saw Nico: Will ran away. "Oh." Nico answered back hazily, still staring to where Will ran off with an expression he couldn't describe on his face. A horn instantly blared right when Nico spoke, indicating that it was already lunch time. Bianca had no idea how long it had even been but it did pass a long time since breakfast. She was hungry anyways, so it wasn't really a loss. Not really a reason to complain, just a reason for her stomach to complain though. She almost was scared of it once she felt her stomach as she hadn't felt it in years but she quickly got over her shock. Percy nodded, pointing towards the pavilion. "There is the pavilion where we eat. 1 horn blare means breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 2 blares means the gods are visiting or a quest has returned. 3 horns mean that there is an attack on camp. But there is also the Huntresses' horn which they just blare once to indicate they are at Camp." He explained swiftly, running away from Bianca and Nico, expecting them to catch up and they did. The children of the Big 3 all entered the pavilion while campers started staring at the 3 of them in shock, especially at Bianca for the older campers. The Son of Poseidon went straight, looking at Chiron who was staring in shock. The Trainer of Horses never had seen someone come back to life, it was even confirmed that Bianca was alive but yet she was here, standing right before him looking healthy. "Chiron, I have an announcement." Percy explained, looking at Chiron for permission to speak but avoiding eye contact with Mr. D, however; the wine god was stuck in a newspaper, almost literally as Mr. D. never moved an inch since they walked in. Chiron nodded once he got over his shock, but it did take a while as everyone was silent and an awkwardness entered the atmosphere. It was pretty embarrassing for a few as they stopped staring but others were still staring, unopposed by the awkward situation. "Most of you don't know this person. But her name is Bianca di Angelo. Daughter of Hades and all of that." Percy introduced Bianca who waved ,albeit reluctantly. She still hadn't had much time to be herself to others. Nico looked straight at the Apollo cabin where everyone but Will Solace were there, which worried Nico to the end. He loved Will, he isn't too afraid to admit that. The only downside is that, even if Will was gay, he wouldn't get with Nico. Who would want a Son of Hades, complete opposites, to be their boyfriend? Much yet, who would want Nico to be their boyfriend? Literally no one and he already guessed that the Aphrodite cabin is just shipping him with the most horrible girl in camp, which in Nico's opinion: was the counselor of the Aphrodite cabin herself, Drew. Yet she had charm speak, so it wouldn't really be a good idea to challenge the Daughter Of Aphrodite anyways on relationships. So Nico was back in square-1, we'll, square-1 is basically his home so it wasn't really a move into his relationship even though he was too young for it anyways. The trio all walked over to the Poseidon table, which Chiron allowed all the Children of the Big 3 sit there as Poseidon and Hades complained to both Chiron and Mr. D about how their children are always lonely for their eating times. They of course didn't contact Zeus as all the King of the Gods have to do is just scourge the earth for another woman that wasn't 'claimed.' Percy started explaining to Bianca about how she makes food but Nico was still staring at the Apollo cabin's table, still looking for Will until he finally had enough to raise his hand. "Chiron, could I go look for Will?" A few campers started snickering at how Nico said it, a few even knew about the 2 having a crush on each other but they were too scared to publicly announce it as Percy and Thalia are a very scary duo and now there is a new addition to the duo, making it a trio. Although, there are some times Nico was thrown around just because he was gay as the campers just insulted him. They didn't go near Will as they knew the Son of Apollo was the best healer in the lot and the cabin counselor. So it really wasn't worth it for a sunburn by Apollo and a few arrows in their backsides with the healers refusing to heal them. It wasn't a good idea, overall, to get onto the Apollo Cabin's bad side. Chiron nodded in affirmative, allowing Nico to stand up and ran out of the pavilion while his head lurched from side-to-side, looking for Will. He got a few long glances from the other campers, either a few teasing ones and a few supportive ones. The whole Apollo cabin nodded towards Nico, making him more comfortable to look for Will. Percy didn't really know Nico's and Will's relationship at the time, but he does know that they like each other as a few foolish campers started teasing Nico or Will and that revealed it to Percy, but he just doesn't care. Yet he hopes they could get together as they both deserve a happy ending, especially since both their lives were hard. A singular horn suddenly bared through the camp grounds, nearly all the boys groaning alongside the entirety of the Aphrodite cabin. Many of the campers had seen firsthand what the Huntresses could do, and many don't want it to happen once again. "Isn't that the Huntresses' horn?" Bianca questioned, looking towards Percy for an answer. She was pretty sure that it was the Huntresses' horn as the Huntresses do enjoy making the camper's life as horrible as they could, and blaring a horn right into their food and making even a few campers either faint or plop right into their food as the sudden scare does make sense if the Huntresses do it. Percy nodded, a bit excited as he got to see Thalia again so he turned back to Bianca. "Do you alrea-" He was trying to not get into too much detail as he doesn't want to relive the past but he is saying enough for her to get the gist of his words. "My dad explained it to me." Bianca answered back solemnly as Zoë was a pretty good companion to be beside when she is fighting any kind of monster, although, Thalia was also good at fighting monsters so it only made sense if Thalia was the lieutenant. So it was obvious that Thalia was chosen to become the lieutenant, but Bianca has to deny this but she is a bit jealous. Her dad even told her that Zoë was thinking about making her the new lieutenant but she had to go out and kill herself to where she couldn't become what she wanted so badly. It wasn't honestly fair to her but it was just life, and she couldn't gang up on what the Fates had planned for her. The Son of Sally nodded, standing up and running to the sounds of the horns with Bianca right on his heels although despite being dead for a long time, she was fast. A feeling of dread entered his throat at the thought of Bianca rejoining the Huntresses until it was demolished with a Son of Hades suddenly shadow traveling right beside Bianca and tackling her to the ground. Will Solace wasn't that far behind as Nico shadow traveled the 2 there but Will looked sick, falling to the ground and barfing out his breakfast. If it was one thing Will knew, it was not to hold in your barf as the acidity of your stomach would burn through your throat overtime and weaken it, so it was best to not keep the barf in your throat but instead let it out. Nico stared right into his sister's eyes, seemingly glaring into them until he asked, "Are you going to join the Huntresses?" He looked into his sister's eyes for an answer, and he held hope that she would stay with him, and that hope was made when she nodded. "I'm staying with you." (5/1/21-5-7/21)
Chapter 4
Thalia Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
Thalia's day was going wonderful so far, but she didn't even finish it yet. She had gotten the green bell from Artemis, in which she could go to camp. She wasn't afraid to admit she missed the Kelp Head, Corpse Breath, Owl Brain, and the goat. It also seemed that Artemis saw that her sister was wanting to see Thalia's best friends again, so because Artemis was the loyal sister and Thalia was her lieutenant, she allowed it. Grover may not be able to greet Thalia as he has the Lord of the Wild duties, which; even though Artemis wouldn't want to connect with the satyr, she has to agree that the duties you have to do are sometimes horrible. The Huntresses had all made it to the outskirts of the camp, where Thalia gave Phoebe the hand signal to blow the horn, which the Huntress did so happily but also dreadfully. If the Daughter of Zeus had to guess; she would guess that the only reason Phoebe was happy right now was just because she can blow the horn while the rest just dreaded being in camp. Thalia doesn't blame her, other than her friends, the rest of the camp was horrible. At least in their opinions. "Phoebe, get the Huntresses to our ladies' cabin. I got a few people to meet." She ordered in which, Phoebe simply nodded and started to lead the Huntresses to the cabin, as fast as she could. Thalia ran out of the hiding and into the clearing, already expecting to see the others but she didn't. It was a weird experience but she shrugged it off as the others do sometimes be late. Nevertheless, Thalia started looking around from her higher position, overlooking the camp. Her eyes skittered around the camp hill until they stopped right when she saw 2 blobs of black hair and gold hair. Yet there was another blob of black hair, and instead of the gold hair being long: it was short. Which really just made her about to look away because Thalia thought she saw them until the recognized Will Solace. The presence of the Son of Apollo just confirmed that Nico was near, so did Annabeth dye her hair? If she did, why would she do it? The Daughter of Athena does take pride in her hair because it shows that she fits in with her cabinmates. Although Athena has black hair, it would make sense if Annabeth has dyed her hair. The Daughter of Zeus ran over to where the 4 were standing and she received no response. Not one of them looked at her, making her a bit more angry as they seemingly are ignoring her. But it would be embarrassing if they aren't even the people she was looking for. That thought was demolished right when Percy turned around and saw her. His face quickly morphed into one of happiness, shocked, and it then shifted to worry as he glanced back towards where Nico was on top of 'Annabeth.' "Thals!" He yelped out, voice going high. His cousin seemed very angry, and she wasn't the one to blame. He wouldn't blame her if she started beating him, or at least scold him heavily. After all, he didn't even see her until Thalia was a fair distance close to them. Thalia's eyes narrowed, looking to where Nico was on the ground with a girl but at closer observance, it wasn't Annabeth. Yet she swore she recognized the skin on the girl. In response, Thalia shook her head in dismissal. The Son of Apollo's day kept switching from horrible to awesome. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)At first, he woke up and saw that he had another day of peace, which is a point into the day being awesome. After that, he saw that Nico was holding a girl's hand, which he got the wrong point and there was a point on the horrible side of the day. However, Nico went out of his way and came looking for Will, and that made Will fall more for Nico. Merely at the thought, his heart just leaped, making him blush although no one noticed, luckily. "Neeks!" Thalia hollered, making Nico jump off of the girl to where Thalia had a better look onto the girl. Upon closer inspection, the features that highlighted the girls' face made Thalia's fall. She stepped backwards in shock, keeping her horror-stricken expression. "Y-you're dead." Thalia whispered. She never thought she would ever see Bianca again until the day Thalia died, which would be no day. She was sure that the only time she would see Bianca again was when she was entering Elysium Yet Bianca was sitting right in front of her, alive. The Daughter of Hades' face broke into a massive grin, making her jump upwards, and hug Thalia...hard. She gets to meet Thalia, once more. Thalia was basically Bianca's role model, and her idol other than Zoë. There are a lot of things to admire about the Daughter of Zeus, from her stubbornness, to her fighting abilities and bravery. Thalia yelped in surprise at how strong the Brother of Nico was. Bianca had increased in strength, or it might have been adrenaline. She also seemed to realize that Bianca had grown since her death, quite literally as the 2 girls stood at the same height. "H-how?" The Daughter of Zeus quickly pulled away, wiping the tears out of her eyes, she turned to Bianca. She instantly became ashamed as her usual tough demeanor was completely obliterated and she had just publicly showed it. She usually had to act tough, when she was with Luke...Luke. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts of the Son of Hermes, making her heart noticeably beat a bit faster than usual. He wasn't her crush...no, he was dead. But since Bianca was alive, there was a chance he could be alive. "The Fates came to me and offered a new life." Bianca explained slowly, eyeing Thalia under an impression of nervousness. Percy saw the hope in Thalia's eyes, and he felt horrible for her. He already hoped for his other friends to be alive but then Bianca revealed that she was the only one, just another blow from the Fates. He did feel guilty for multiple deaths, even more so for his friends. He didn't even know dozens of demigods during the war but he felt guilty for all their deaths. He did lead the demigods into 2 battles, and caused dozens of deaths. 20 in the Battle of the Labyrinth and another dozen in the Battle of Manhattan. He decided just to bluntly interrupt Thalia in her train of thoughts, "Bianca was the only one revived." He saw how Thalia's face fell but lifted right after into her usual stoic face. It was a face that Percy wanted, but he clearly always had to have all his emotions revealed like a palm to a hand. "Oh." Thalia replied back, but her closest friends could see the sadness behind the tone but Thalia didn't want pity. It was the world she had to live in, and she just had to accept it. "Well? What are you guys looking at?" Nico flinched under the tone of her voice, it was very cold but yet he already knew what it was like. After all, he did have to live through the death of Bianca and then hate the person he used to like. It sounded very weird but he doesn't care, at all. All his troubles were basically fixed, except for love troubles. But, hopefully, Aphrodite can help his love life. She did send a few dreams about his future; which basically withheld him and Will adopting a child, and he woke up after that dream and blushed heavily, head to toe. Thalia's eyes flashed over to Percy, meeting his sea green eyes. "Where's Annabeth?" She questioned, deciding to change the subject because that is the best thing to do in that kind of situation. The Son of Poseidon froze under his cousin's stare, refusing to answer her. He didn't want to answer her but he just realized that probably wasn't good for his health. So he sighed in defeat, "In her cabin." He answered back, preparing for Thalia to question him again but that wasn't finished when she just stormed off, making a beeline towards Cabin 6. She hated standing there, she already regretted going into camp. Thalia knew she had a heart, yet she hated the feeling when she was forced to fight Luke, kick him off the cliff, join the Huntresses because she thought Luke was dead, and find out he was alive but then he wasn't himself anymore. She didn't even get to see Luke in his final moments alive, making her feel even worse about her love life. Certainly, Aphrodite should be grinning like crazy by now as the 2 have a heavy rivalry. Aphrodite was crazy, so it wouldn't really surprise anyone that she had created another struggling Huntress. The Daughter of Zeus entered Cabin 6, completely ignoring the knock which was a bit rude but she was looking for Annabeth. She saw her sulking in her bed, while Malcolm stood beside her, reading a book about statistics, measurements, and other stuff about architecture. Thalia cleared her throat, interrupting Malcolm which the Son of Athena responded by jumping up and quickly getting out of the cabin. She didn't take pride in it though, as...well this is the cabin where everyone is a pride-struggling child. Her face softened when she kneeled beside the bedside of Annabeth before she started speaking, slowly, "What is wrong?" The Daughter of Athena flinched right at the question, turning towards Thalia she showed how she looked. She really despised herself now that she had left Percy. She thought they could go through the rest of the demigod life, together. It would have been a wonderful experience, she shouldn't even have let her pride take over and blind her. Yet she came to terms that it was her fault, and when a high-pride person finally admitted something, it proves that the situation was terrible. "I-Percy and I broke up." She answered before burying her head in her pillow again, crying once more whilst trying to hide the face of pure shame. Thalia's eyes widened in shock and horror. She didn't even know they broke up, and why would they in the first place? Based on how hard Annabeth is crying, Thalia is guessing Percy did something bad. But what did he do wrong? His fatal flaw was loyalty, an admirable fatal flaw but that basically also clears him of lots of things. So he would have never cheated on Annabeth. "What? What happened?" The Daughter of Zeus continued, sitting on the bed beside her sisterly figure and pulling her into a hug. Annabeth just started to admit everything, telling Thalia of how she was controlled and how Xander used her own fatal flaw against her and completely destroyed the relationship she relished with Percy. She told of how she regretted it and how she was sorry but he didn't seem to care anymore. Thalia felt angry but sad at the same time. The anger was mainly centered onto Aphrodite and Annabeth but she couldn't hate Annabeth. After all, Thalia raised her and they shared a close bond. But Aphrodite is an exception as anyone could hate her. The Daughter of Zeus contemplated the best thing to say, "You can't be stuck in here forever, Annie. You cannot keep running back to the past over-and-over. Move on from Percy. Remember, you always have a spot in the Hunt." Annabeth's face morphed into an angry one, she couldn't just move on from Percy. She loves him a lot. Even though he is a Seaweed Brain, she still loves him and she can't just move on. "I can't move on from Percy though!" She yelled. Thalia was taken aback, in shock mainly because Annabeth was yelling at her. She knew her words didn't have the intended effect but Annabeth didn't have to yell it out. "You have to though! Even though I don't know much about love, I do know that you and Percy won't be together anymore!" Thalia yelled back. Although parts of what she said was incorrect, she indeed does know what it was like being heartbroken, she cried herself to sleep all the time before she joined the Hunt. "Leave! Get out!" The Daughter of Athena yelled back, but was suddenly brought back to reality when Thalia slapped her. A face of horror shone onto Annabeth's face as it paled. She didn't mean to yell at Thalia, she was just angry. Percy was literally a girl, and yet she can't move on from him. She loves him and she feels like she deserves a happy life with Percy after her one of Hades' lives. He deserves to be happy, and she deserves to be happy. The Fates really are cruel. Suddenly, Annabeth noticed that Thalia just stood up and started leaving her to sit there. "Wait! Don't! I-" The Daughter of Zeus was angry at how Annabeth treated her even though she tried to help Annabeth, so she just ignored Annabeth's pleas and left her sitting there. Letting her cry once more but Thalia was angry at that time. She drove herself to the Artemis' cabin and this time, she wanted Artemis to be here. But her lady has to be doing her duties, and Grover has to do his duties so she couldn't see either of them. Tyson had to do his duties in Poseidon's palace, rebuilding it but now she had to deal with all of the love problems everyone is juggling around. Nico and Will do love each other, Thalia could read her cousin really well and since Will is Apollo's son, she could read his expression pretty well as the father-and-son share some resemblances, and that is how she read that he loved Nico. Percy and Annabeth had broken up with Annabeth being blinded by her pride, and Thalia doesn't blame her much. There are her friend's love troubles but at least those can be solved. She couldn't fix her love problem, and she just hated that. She was suddenly interrupted with Percy and Bianca stepping in front of her, blocking the way to Cabin 6. "What are you guys doing?" She growled out, glaring at her 2 cousins but they didn't flinch, which was a shocking task for both of them as her glare was terrifying. "We saw you storming away from Cabin 6. So Bianca wanted to go and help your mood but Nico didn't trust her to be alone as she can quickly join the Huntresses...and since Nico and Will need some private time together, they trusted me to watch over her and make sure she doesn't join the Hunt." Percy explained bluntly, which he didn't really think of the possible intended effect it could have on both girls as they both flinched. Thalia nodded slowly and sat down on the ground, Percy and Bianca following rather hesitantly but the Daughter of Zeus doesn't really care. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Bianca's eyes flash over to Percy for a split second and another sense of dread entered her stomach, increasing the amount of how much she hated her life. Bianca liked Percy, and that is just another reason for Thalia to punch the Goddess of Love. (5/9/21-5/14/21)
Chapter 5
Thalia Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
She had rough days during her fairly short lifetime. Starting from her house, to Luke and Annabeth, to dying, and to where she was hung up now. Again, another problem decided to appear from the sky: a problem that the love goddess herself would enjoy dearly. But, after all, she did beat all the problems she had before this situation, so a love problem wouldn't be that hard to get over. Thalia does like a good fight against her rival, who is not Percy, and it hopefully would be a few quick attempts at destroying Aphrodite's dreams. That would be a satisfying experience to the Daughter of Zeus. Now, she just has to beat the challenge laid ahead of her. Which also means trying to fix all these love problems that Kelp Head got himself into. And he just had to drag the Corpse Breath into the struggles: which proves that Percy is really a one-of-a-kind oblivious idiot. But Thalia is fairly confident she could fix everything up, although she doesn't want to pick a side so that also means what to do firstly. The first clue to her puzzle was she knows Percy and Annabeth had broken up, not on good terms. The secondary clue is that Bianca likes Percy, which also brings the Daughter of Hades into the troubles of love. Yet Bianca hadn't even grown up to know what love was, so that would have a lot more problems added into it. And that wasn't all: Nico and Will like each other and now she has to bring the duo together. Looking back on it, there was a lot more trouble than Thalia thought. But she was the Daughter of Zeus after all, so she had to be cursed with overconfidence which sometimes she wanted to shoot down. Now she has to bring them together, recreating the family that was destroyed. It hurts, a lot as Thalia had to create and be in multiple different families. Losing her mother, although she can live without Marie Grace, she barely moved on from Jason's loss. Luke found her after that, completely destroyed mentally and emotionally, Luke took her in: Annabeth following in shortly. That family was destroyed after that, with her death came Luke's anger towards the gods and ending up with him joining the Titans. Another family lost to the pigeons. She found another one though, which was a short family as Zoë and Bianca died, so she joined the Hunt just to find another family. Now hers is going down to the flames, and she has to fix it. But what would be her next move? To fix this completely destroyed and thrown-apart situation? Well...it's simple. She would try and firstly get Percy and Bianca together. Though, Percy and Annabeth fell apart and probably couldn't be fixed, Percy and Bianca? There is a small chance in that, and she is taking a gamble with it. Yet she didn't want any pain on Annabeth, but the best choice for the Daughter of Athena is probably joining the Hunt. And Thalia would love her longest-alive-friend to be by her side. It would be early Elysium if this works out, and hopefully it does. She ran across the rest of Camp, bursting into Artemis' cabin. The Huntresses were scattered all across the floor, some quizzing others about animal species whilst others were stabbing pictures of males, specifically: Hercules. A small smile played upon Thalia's lips but it faded fairly quickly as she turned towards Phoebe. "Is everything situated here?" Phoebe stood up to attention, nodding her head in affirmation. Thalia's face had an unusual expression on it, but the adopted Daughter of Artemis has to admit that she experienced a small bit of jealousy when she saw Thalia. She wasn't a leader, and she wasn't the Alpha or Omega of a pack. She was a side wolf, and Phoebe honestly liked that. But she has to stand aside while a new girl, although she was a wonderful lieutenant, became lieutenant that easily. Though she never agreed with those feelings, she knew it was correct and that just brought anxiety to her. Artemis does love Thalia as a daughter, and Phoebe just felt like she was completely replaced by her. It still hurts, millennia of service only brought her a family. Although, she has to move on from that grudge as it wasn't right for a female to have a grudge. That was for males, and weak males. Not for women, and she is a woman so she has to stand up for her gender, pushing all of the superior-thinking-males out of her life. That is why she joined the Huntresses of Artemis, and that is why she would stay loyal to Artemis as she taught Phoebe everything about how males were disgusting. "Very well, I need to show you guys something. And...I might need your help." That brought wide-eyed to everyone in the room, and a few suspicious glances from the elder Huntresses. Phoebe, herself, was a bit skeptical about leaving the cabin, but something else was wrong, and years of experience and tracking gave that suspicion to Phoebe. Nevertheless, she agreed and followed her sister out of the cabin. Thalia led the Huntresses across camp, but she could tell that Thalia was looking for someone. Which brought a few guesses upon Phoebe's mind as the only people that Thalia would bring the Hunt to is some random male to beat or Thalia's friends. Which it is most likely the former as the Daughter of Zeus would most likely have remembered where her friends were. Thalia led the Hunt straight to where Bianca was, while the Daughter of Hades was still standing awkwardly beside Percy. She turned around and tried to see the Huntresses' reactions, which the majority of them just stood there open-gaped whilst Bianca waved nervously. Which Thalia doesn't blame her for as coming back from life and seeing your closest friends during your short time alive is a pretty-big-and-emotional moment. Suddenly, Huntress after Huntress, still disciplined, were hugging Bianca. A few were trying to interrogate the Sister of Nico but were quickly cut off by other eager sisters. Then, as if a horn was blared, all the Huntresses started interrogating Bianca, making her very uncomfortable but Thalia found it to be laughable. Once the questioning stopped, answers were passed around as Bianca explained everything to them. Slowly and steady, like she had trained hard on it which made Thalia a bit worried at her plan. If Bianca joins the Hunt, Annabeth and Percy would have to get together again. But Thalia already saw that Percy and Annabeth would never work again after what happened. It still brings bits of anger in her chest at the thought but it really doesn't matter anymore as that was in the past. Moving on was moving on, and she tried to tell Annabeth about that, yet, it did not go to plan. Exactly like all of her plans. "Are you going to join the Hunt again?" Thalia questioned, and it seemed like a whole pin drop entered the perimeter as everything went silent. Multiple pairs of eyes watched over as Bianca started to contemplate the question, but she turned her head back to where Nico last went and sighed before shaking her head. Many of the Huntresses' faces fell but Bianca didn't really care anymore, she made her decision now and she can't change that. Nico still needed her, and she saw how he looked at Will. So now she has to get the 2 together, while risking everything she wants. Being lieutenant seems awesome but Bianca knew she couldn't lead anything, much less she led Nico down a pit of depression and her own death. What better would being the leader of 30 people and all of their lives in her hands. She can't just live with the pressure. "I'm sorry guys, I just can't. My brother still needs me and I literally died last time, failing him." Percy stood by and watched as Bianca profusely apologized to her once-sisters, but he doesn't really blame them. This was one of the moments where you split off from people you were once close to, going to the person you are closest to. And he admired that, the bravery to even say 'no' to the Huntresses. Any male would have never even stood near them, and they know what the Huntresses would do if they even locked eyes with a single Huntress. It is a very terrifying experience, creating traumatized males. Thalia pulled away from the group, making her eyes scan over the group; although, she did keep her eyes on Percy and Bianca for a split second longer than the Huntresses, creating a nervous tension in Percy's arms. "Well...you always have a spot in the Hunt, Bianca. No hard feelings here." One Huntress told Bianca, with a soft tone in her voice. Most likely a Daughter of Aphrodite based on the softness of her voice, which could make people even swoon due to the voice itself. Nevertheless, Bianca just hugged her tight before pulling away. "I-it's okay. I would just make home here. Thank you girls. But you guys would still be my sisters, even though I'm not in the Hunt." She answered back, smiling at the girl. They had split after that, waving their hands around with a lot more enthusiasm. Bianca reappeared beside Percy, watching wistfully towards the leaving girls. "Hey--you still have us?" He tried to comfort her, although it didn't have the intended effect. Thalia walked back with the Huntresses to the cabin, closing the door behind her. The Huntresses raised their eyebrows in confusion at the Daughter of Zeus but she didn't even reveal what she was planning. "Is that it? Is that all you had to show us? I know that Bianca was very worth it but it isn't your character to bring the whole Hunt to greet one lost Huntress." A huntress asked curiously, making Thalia prepare for the answer. "I know that you guys may not want to help, but I need it." Then Thalia explained the plan to the Huntresses.
Bianca Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
Bianca was happy for Percy being by her. Although they don't share that close of a bond, they still have a sort-of-special-friendship together, but it does seem pretty weird. She gets a pretty weird feeling standing by him, but it isn't that specified. It was a warm feeling in her stomach; having a whole wave of warmth going throughout her body, like warm blood going through her veins. But she liked the feeling, it gave her warmth in her usual Hades' daughter coldness. "Well, let's go see my brother. He still needs help as he barely got out of his depression since today." She started laughing at herself, letting herself slowly get back her breath. Eventually, she stopped chuckling and stood up straight once again. "Well? Let's go!" She started running wildly around, letting Percy hesitate before chasing her. Once again, Bianca felt a spark of joy in her body and it confused her. Yet she didn't let it get to her mind, letting it spark through her body and have a brighter day. Nico had awkwardly stood beside Hades' cabin with Will beside him. He was nervous, just standing beside the Son of Apollo and that really got to him. He never experienced the feeling he got from Will, but the feeling itself was annoying. "So...um. How's the infirmary?" He asked loudly, quickly silencing because of his voice cutting through the noise. Will stumbled instantly right after the statement Nico made before the Son of Apollo answered back, "Uh. It's good. Yeah. It is good." The Son of Hades flinched nervously but suddenly Bianca burst into the area, Percy not too far behind her. "Nico! Will!" She addressed, hunching over and laughing a lot more than a Daughter of Hades should but she didn't really care for that. Nico got jealous because of it, and usually he never gets jealous because of his sister but she did have a happy life while he did not. "Hey." He greeted back, turning away from Will and towards Bianca. She completely ignored her but just answered back, "Well? Could we do anything here?" She questioned but Nico knew full well what she meant. After all, she barely had entered campgrounds and she barely even got used to camp life before her sudden death. Yet Will answered instead, "There are a few activities we could do. Since the Huntresses are here, we will play Capture the Flag tonight. And that would be pretty cool. But right now...we could at least train in the arena. Nico? Percy?" The Son of Hades rolled his eyes, getting Will to grab his arm. Nico quickly yelped in shock, blood rising to his face. The feeling was not something he was used to but no one noticed, thankfully. "Come on. Pleeeease." Will begged, making Nico's face flush but that really just made him even more annoyed at his confusing feelings around his body. Why was Will affecting him...this much? He truly never found out when he thought over it but before he even got deeper into thought, Bianca just laughed and indicated for Will to drag Nico away. Although she was making Will lead the way, Nico knew that Bianca had the knowledge that he literally hated it. (5/16/21-5/21/21)
Chapter 6
Thalia Third Person POV
Thalia was slowly winning over the Huntresses. Right when she told them the plan, they obviously retaliated. A few just shook their heads simply whilst others, mainly the ones who had gotten heartbroken, didn't want to. She thought she had them because after all, they are her sisters. The only close people she has left in the world. It doesn't matter if they are not her biological sisters, they are her sisters from left to right. With that thought in her head, she did think at least a few would join her. But that didn't really work out as planned, making Thalia want to facepalm against her stupidity. Of course they weren't going to help, they were Huntresses. Forbidden to love or pursue any romantic relationships. So in a nutshell, the Daughter of Zeus messed up a lot. "Huntresses! SILENT!" She shouted over the audibly loud sisters, making them turn silent. Thalia nodded in affirmation, trying not to look like a tyrant. She didn't even want to have that outside perspective, but the Huntresses aren't exactly as disciplined as Thalia is. After all, they are so used to going out and not trying to set up one of their former Huntresses with a male. She glanced over to Phoebe, letting the adopted Daughter of Artemis acknowledge that she needed help. Phoebe's face quickly turned into a clueless one, which made Thalia get a bit angry. "Phoebe. What's your opinion on this?" Celyn, one of the eldest Huntresses, asked. The other adopted Daughter of Artemis stepped backwards, falling into line with Phoebe. A few others followed whilst the remaining ones stood there. A feeling of hurt fell on top of Thalia as she knew that at least half of the Huntresses followed her only because Phoebe did. She felt an open hole in her stomach when looking into Phoebe's eyes, the Huntresses do sincerely have more loyalty with Phoebe than her. And that hurt her a lot, as she just wanted their approval. It did take a long time before she was even accepted as lieutenant, but the Huntresses didn't oblige as their own Mistress Artemis made the promotion. Phoebe was honestly feeling guilty by then. She was complaining about how Thalia had all the Huntresses' approval, yet here she is with half of them. She was feeling heart warmed by her sister's loyalty, and she always wanted this moment. It was a wonderful one, and it just made lava seemingly pour into her insides. But she didn't want to look weak in front of her sisters, it would ruin her reputation after all. Phoebe quickly stepped forward. standing right in front of Thalia whilst staring into the Daughter of Zeus' eyes. A few Huntresses quickly got right behind Thalia, willing to defend their lieutenant. Thalia stared right back hauntingly, not letting her emotions take over. Phoebe already knew the face of someone trying to keep their emotions in check, she did beforehand have to deal with it for when Zoë was the lieutenant. It was an easy thing to identify as the main look would have a straight mouth but also different facial features, which proves that they are holding something back in. But she didn't really want to fight Thalia, that would surely lose her mother's support, and that would be the nightmare come true for her. So the duo stood there, glaring at each other until one backed down. How none of them backed down proved that they were both qualified to run at lieutenant. And the other Huntresses knew that, as they started tensing with anticipation when nothing happened. Finally Phoebe backed away, letting Thalia's face soften. She did see the worry in the Daughter of Zeus' eyes, which did make her guilty enough to back away. After all, she does not want to steal someone's life just for her own benefits. That is what he did before, and that is why she wouldn't do it again. Not repeating the exact thing someone else did to their former lieutenant. Celyn opened her mouth, but quickly shut it when Phoebe raised her hand. "I'm sorry. But only some of us would help. I would bring the others to the archery range." The Daughter of Zeus finally let out a sigh of relief. She really thought she had just messed up everything. It did seem fairly convincing as they had a glare-off, but luckily Phoebe stepped back. Now Thalia was thinking over why the oldest living Huntress had even stepped forward. It could've been out of peer pressure itself, but the adopted Daughter of Artemis did step forward with content. Like she had loathed Thalia for a long time, and that scared her. If Phoebe did want to become lieutenant, she sure does have the power to. Phoebe raised her hand, signaling the other Huntresses to follow her, and the majority followed her out. The remaining watched with an eerily silence as the 2 groups split, but finally Naomi, another one of the eldest Huntresses, stepped forward to comfort Thalia. "Hey, Thalia. I would help. And the others would help too." The other-other adopted Daughter of Artemis reassured, letting the other Huntresses in the room to comfort Thalia. She loved the comfort her sisters were giving her, and was eternally grateful for them. A smile was brought onto the Daughter of Zeus' face, letting Naomi sigh with relief. "So-your plan just said that we have to somehow get Percy and Bianca together. And how do we do that?" The logical statement started to make sense to Thalia, as she groaned in response. "Well. Based on my small knowledge on relationships: I feel like we need to get one of them into it. Perhaps, Percy? He does have guts to do reckless things, so he could probably do it." She answered back, letting an idea pop into another Huntresses' head. "He can-Argh...you know what I was going to say. Anyways, we can let him do it, and see if Bianca rejects him." She explained her plan, which did make sense to Thalia. The Kelp Head could get himself into some trouble, and he doesn't exactly understand his feelings yet so he could easily do it. Even if he gets rejected, he could probably live past another heartbreak...maybe. Naomi had a very good idea why the other Huntresses' left. It wasn't their strong suit to start up relationships, heck, it is hated by the Huntresses. Yet she didn't want to leave Thalia alone, so she had to stay back and help. And it was better than probably going into the archery range. After all, it was a new experience when the first thing they did was get a Daughter of Hephaestus who is a Huntress and let her plan out the scene. The scene itself was an awesome idea, which did impress her even though she had years of not being impressed. The scenery was simple, but also a fairly overthought scene. The Daughter of Hephaestus placed down the scene itself, in the strawberry field and that field alone could stand perfectly. But the Huntress also made a way too detailed carpet. Stripes hanging around the outer line, black and blue ones for the theme to be proved. Triangles and squares danced around the carpet, which now looks like a quilt. Naomi was impressed with herself, and it did take a lot of dedication to make the quilt. Thalia had started directing the Huntresses around, doing various jobs while all Naomi had to do was help her fellow Huntress building the quilt. And against Naomi's protests of not being skilled in knitting, she was put on the job. The Huntresses had started to finish up the basics of the quilt, and hours had passed since they started. Soon enough, they finished making the quilt at perfect timing as the sun was slowly going down. And it doesn't take a romantic genius to know that sunsets or Artemis' domain is the spotlight for romantic scenes. Thalia had left earlier, telling Percy of the plan. It did take a lot of convincing as he didn't want to do it. Which made Naomi's opinion of males slowly soften as all males sometimes are a bit too harsh of a word. She knew it was bad to soften against males, but Percy was truly one of a dozen millennia male.
Percy Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
Percy didn't want to do it. He already knew that he liked her, after all he did experience the feeling before with Annabeth. But he didn't want a repeat of the break up. Yet he gave into Thalia's demands as he didn't want to ruin another one of his friend's relationships with him. That would be a horrible experience, and would increase his loath against the Fates for giving him one heck of a lifetime. So what if he just wanted a peaceful life? If he could, he would honestly just charge the Fates and make them alter what had happened. However, he should be at least a bit happy since one person came back to life. Thalia hadn't really told him the entire plan, but the basics was just to see if Bianca would get with him. He is still wondering if he should take the chance. On one hand, there is a chance where she would hate him while on the other hand: there was a chance where she would enjoy it. A 50-50, and he had been in worse odds, so there is a bigger chance that it would work in his favor. But he doesn't know what he wants to choose. It is already hard trying to get into a school, and Paul barely made it happen, now he has to do this on his own. So the plan was revealed later on to Percy, which really surprised him as to why the Huntresses were even helping with romance, along with even dedicating a few hours of their lives to do it. And that really confused him, although there was a small slimmer of joy because they really dedicated themselves to helping him. That warm feeling shot through his chest, going straight through multiple organs although it did make it feel like he was blushing. It is a huge heartwarming moment, and that made Percy feel a lot more enthusiastic. "Percy, you ready? Remember the plan?" A Huntress, whom Percy remembered as Naomi, whispered gruffly to him. He nodded in affirmation, letting Naomi know that he remembered the plan. She snorted in response, "You can remember a detailed plan, but you can't remember how to do the Quadratic Formula? Seriously? What is up in your brain?" She teased, clearly enjoying her moment of it. The Son of Poseidon started blushing intensely, making her chuckle a bit more until Thalia answered her question. "His head is full of Kelp. Can you remember that?" She questioned Naomi, making the adopted Daughter of Artemis laugh. "Yeah. I can remember that." Thalia nodded, acknowledging the sarcasm, she turned to Percy and indicated to him to put the plan into action. The Cousin of Thalia nodded, starting to get nauseous at the thought of doing what he was about to. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to get involved in it; nevertheless, he stood up and started heading onto the quilt the Huntresses made in the strawberry field. Mild flashbacks suddenly struck the back of his head, remembering the time when he and Annabeth were having a picnic on Camp grounds until Hermes came up. He suddenly became a lot more nauseous, barely stumbling over to the quilt before plopping on the ground. A corner of his eyes caught the Daughter of Hades walking over to where was sitting, making beads of sweat start to form on his head. Bianca was confused at the concept of being in the middle of the strawberry field, until she saw Percy. She guessed that the Huntresses wanted her to feel welcomed, so that is why they led her to Percy. Right? Probably, at least that is what Bianca thought was the answer. "Percy? Is there anything you need?" She questioned, walking forward before plopping herself down onto the quilt right beside him. He nodded, but that really made her question why he was acting this way. Was he nervous about being by her, or embarrassed by having to be by her? And based on her experiences in her short lifetime, it was probably the latter. Yet he just nodded in silence, making her insides churn in questions. Seemingly making herself feel like someone is stirring a cauldron full of soup inside her stomach, and that didn't really set well with her. She raised an eyebrow at him, and narrowly saw a blush that shone on his cheek. That simple detail that was on his face set her off, "What is wrong?" He finally sighed, as if getting over what he had to do. And that made her question herself even more, until something entirely different happened. He kissed her. That would be forever one of her best memories in the life of Bianca, but that didn't really matter at the time. It felt as if her whole body shut down suddenly after the kiss, making herself start to scream on the inside for it to stay longer. The feeling pleased her throughout her whole body until her consciousness kicked back in like a rodeo in the harshest of temperatures. She started kissing him back, enjoying the moment until they finally pulled back in sync. "Uh-um." Percy started suddenly, making the atmosphere feel a lot more warmer than it definitely should be. "Yeah-um." Silence washed over the duo, making it still feel a lot more warmer than it should be. She started contemplating on what to say, after all this was her first time doing it. But it felt amazing. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He blurted out, cutting straight through the silence that had already taken over the duo. She jumped out of her skin in surprise before a smile engulfed her face. "Yeah. I would be your girlfriend." After that, the word of them getting together traveled very fast around the camp. It started off with Katie spotting them making out in the strawberry field. Luckily, the Huntresses were not there but Katie made the experience horribly embarrassing. After that, she told Travis about it and he accepted the fact before telling Connor. And the Stolls never would want to miss an opportunity to screw everything over and miss a huge paycheck, so they sold the information like a black market. Soon enough, the whole camp knew about that and it was only a matter of time before Annabeth would demand what happened. Percy was still afraid of what Bianca would say after that, but now his father's biggest rival's daughter is coming to interrogate him? It is a terrifying experience to go through. And his thoughts were true when Annabeth charged into his cabin when he skipped dinner. A face of fury was planted right on her face, and that made the Son of Poseidon pale in color. "What. Exactly. Happened?" She stepped forward, standing right in Percy's face and straight into his eyes. The stormy gray eyes made him very-very uneasy. But his stupidity got the best of him as he answered back, "What? I didn't do anything." She stepped even closer to Percy, making his legs seemingly wobble. Although he had faced multiple massive monsters, having a Daughter of Athena interrogate you is probably worse than Hyperion himself threatening to destroy a number of Olympian thrones. "Yes you did! You got with that Hades Scum! Did you even think of me?" She yelled at him, letting her fury straight out onto him. "No! You broke us up and what was left of us is gone now!" Annabeth was in a fit of fury by this moment. She still loved him, yet he went out with another girl. It did hurt her, really badly. They have been bonding throughout their entire lives, starting at 12. And he went out and made another girlfriend right when they broke up. But she didn't want to get hurt, she just wanted her life back. It was completely taken away by Xander, but that story is for another time as Athena took it in her hands to make the Son of Morpheus have a wondrous time being well taken care of by Athena. But yet she was still heartbroken by the whole experience. "No! There is still a chance. I still see it in you. Please! Percy, please." She begged, starting to hug Percy in desperation now. But she knew that there was no chance of them being together again, and her ex knew that too as he just hugged her back. Yet it wasn't in a romantic way, it was in a brotherly-sisterly way. And that made her terrified of the whole ordeal. "You cannot keep running back to your past. You have to move on from me. After all, you did make it past others. Can't you do that to me too?" The Daughter of Athena started sobbing after that. She had once said that Percy and Thalia were exactly alike in personality, and it seemed to be proved by their words corresponding with each other's. That really made her break down in tears as that was another moment her and Percy really bonded. But Percy really did know how to comfort her, after he had to deal with her for 4 years of their life. "You have to move on. I'll be waiting." The Son of Poseidon left her sobbing on the ground of Cabin 3, not looking back. (5/21/21-5/23/21)
Chapter 7
Nico Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
Well, the Son of Hades couldn't say that he had snooped into Percy's and Annabeth's conversation. He didn't even expect that, all he heard was yelling from inside the cabin. So, being the good little boy he is, he checked in. And he saw what had happened. For sure, Percy did do something bad but it was honestly hopeless in Annabeth's case. There were a variety of reasons in the process, as firstly: it was her fault that they broke up. After all, she did cheat on him. Unintentionally it might be, but it did happen and that was the end of the story. Nothing can disprove that fact, and he wished that he could at least help the duo fix up their relationship. But he wasn't into feelings, heck he was a Son of Hades for Zeus' sake. He couldn't even help them in the first place, so now he just has to sit out and watch the relationship crumble. But at the same time, he did agree with Percy. Annabeth did have to move on, for a reason he did not know. At least, he didn't know yet of this moment. Nevertheless, he just shrugged off the conversation and kept walking through the shadows. Yet he heard some...rumors concerning the situation with Percy and Bianca. And he didn't want those rumors to be true, as if they were: He would be furious. His cousin had-like no right to instantly get a new girlfriend, his sister for their sake. However, he couldn't prove the rumors false as he saw Bianca liked Percy. It was weird, his ten year old self liking a boy yet his sister also did. And he saw that she liked him, so there was a chance the rumors were true. That honestly made him really feel a sense of dread, proving that this situation is a lot more than normal. He saw how Thalia handled a situation similar to this, and it led to her death. Percy also handled a situation like this, but his ending happened happily. At least, the war did end happily whilst everything else didn't. Another step forward, he moved onto the next topic in his head. Relationships: Hopefully his sister-brother bond with Bianca still stood there, as strong as before. Because if there was no bond there, that would break his heart right there and then. He and Bianca shared a very strong bond as they stood by each other, or she stood by him from an outside perspective, and years of work would be demolished. Nevertheless, it didn't really bother him that much as he still felt the bond in the air. He figured, after that, to just go and confront Bianca. Ask her some questions, some curious ones in fact. So he started to concentrate on shadow-traveling, and in the back of his head he remembered, on quote, Will saying, "Don't shadow travel, Corpse Breath. You aren't getting enough sunlight, and those shadows would eat you soon. You can't control them soon enough, and that is how they will eat you." As a curse escaped Nico's lips, he felt himself dip into the shadows and disappear from the spot he stood in moments before.

The Son of Apollo had some confusing experiences. First, he learned of Percy's and Bianca's relationship when his siblings were talking about it. The relationship was basically the talk of the entirety of the camp, and he knew it would get to Nico sooner or later. So right after he heard that, he left the infirmary in the care of one of his sisters and started searching for Nico. Yet he couldn't find the Son of Hades, making Will make assumptions on where Nico was. The first theory was that Nico wasn't even in Camp, and the other is that Nico was already interrogating Percy or Bianca about the relationship. He picked the latter as the more possible theory, so Will started looking for Percy or Bianca. He also didn't find them, which made Will think that the secondary theory was true. So he started looking even deeper around the camp, but he couldn't find anyone of his needs. That made him pretty worried about them, but after all it was camp. So they would be safe. That is for sure alright. But an angry Nico is probably a lot scarier...not that he admired that of course. At least that is what he thinks as he probably shouldn't be liking his polar opposite. However, he didn't let that thought doom himself as he was the Son of Apollo, a very bright god. And he shouldn't really be thinking dark thoughts. To help his theory even more, Aphrodite really likes impossible and crisscrossing relationships. So probably, she does ship him and Nico together...maybe. Loud cheering soon blurred into Will's mind, making the Son of Apollo quickly clutch his head, hard. He winced under the sound pressure that suddenly came into his ear. Medical Conditions were a vital part of his job, so he quickly felt his ears to make sure the sound pressure didn't pop the earlobes. Luckily, it did not and Will sighed with heavy anticipation falling out of him. He stood up, and turned towards the sound in curiosity. It was loud, so it was probably worth going to it. And he started his way towards the sound, evading multiple campers and random objects in the way. He easily made it to the destination, which turned out to be filled with Huntresses. Distant thoughts quickly warned Will of why the Huntresses were cheering, but his curiosity still won over him as he walked around the pile of Huntresses. Suddenly, he saw Annabeth standing right in front of the Huntresses with Thalia standing in front and very similar brown hair. Realization quickly entered his head as he heard barely audible words, but he could make them out. "May I join the Hunt, Lady Artemis? I believe now is the time for me to join. After all, I just realized it." The Daughter of Athena knew that this was the thing she was meant for. She did lose Percy to another girl, which still got her really annoyed. And she did hear the exact things both Percy and Thalia said. It scared her to Tartarus that the duo could be so similar, and it did make sense as they were cousins. But still, it creeped her out and made her insides shiver in fear at the amount of things they could do. Artemis seemed overjoyed by the prospect of Annabeth finally joining, and she could tell that this was her destiny. A smile appeared over Thalia's face, one that made Annabeth feel overjoyed. "Of course you can join, Daughter of Athena." Artemis spoke up from her spot, having a very soft smile that made Annabeth feel welcome for the first time in hours. An over exaggeration, but that didn't really annoy her as much as it used to. "Do you remember the vow?" Artemis then spoke, letting Annabeth think over. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)"Uh-Um. I think so: I pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the Hunt." She repeated what she remembered from when Thalia was asked. "I accept." Artemis spoke afterwards, making Annabeth quickly feel a whole new surge of power coming into her. She felt as if she was being dumped into water over and over again, and each time she came out, she felt stronger than before. It was like the water itself was magical, and each time she received a good memory. Very quickly, it disappeared and she opened her eyes to see all the Huntresses standing in front of her. "Did-did it work?" She questioned, tilting her head in confusion as to why the Huntresses looked so shocked. Yet, they quickly got out of their shock to hug her. They were tight when each of them hugged her, and that made her feel even more welcome into the Hunt. "Annabeth!" A voice intercepted them, making all the Huntresses jump back in shock and turn towards the voice, fully prepared to fight it. However, Percy appeared right there, looking right at her. Artemis quickly stood up straighter than before, glaring right at Percy. "I thought you were different from other males. Yet I hear that you broke Annabeth's heart and got with a former Huntress, boy." She growled, but Thalia quickly rose to Percy's defense when the Son of Poseidon raised his hands in defense. "He didn't intend on that. It just happened. Plus, Bianca even accepted it along with Annabeth. It wasn't even his fault, Mi'Lady!" She quickly said back, making the Goddess of the Moon freeze and fall into a deep thought process. Annabeth glanced over to where Percy stood, and he had a neutral face which was shocking in the first place because it was rare for him to even hold in emotions. "Annabeth, is this true?" Annabeth heard the question from Artemis, and yet she didn't answer for a few moments. She could just lie and say it wasn't true, just for revenge. However, it didn't seem like it was fair for Percy to become a deer right there just for the pleasure of herself. Plus, Thalia would be completely angry at her, along with the majority of camp who are loyal to Percy. "Um...yes." Artemis stopped, and finally sighed in anger and turned to Percy. "What do you want anyways?" The Son of Poseidon turned to Annabeth, seemingly in deep thought. She tensed under his unusual glare, and it made herself feel all the horrible things she wished she escaped. Yet all he said was, "Good job." Before he raised his hand in a playful salute, making all the negative thoughts and feelings disintegrate from inside her. "Bye." He started sprinting out of sight, however Thalia turned to Annabeth. "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's make the Kelp Head pay." She said with a joking tone in her voice, pushing her not-so-forcefully. The Daughter of Athena started laughing as she nodded in confirmation and the 2 Huntresses started chasing Percy wherever he went. The Son of Apollo watched as all the Huntresses chased after Percy, even Artemis seemed to smile as she chased Percy with her bow out. It did make sense though, as the Huntresses would enjoy chasing a male down. "Wha-Will. You need to remember the task. Nico. Find the Death Boy." He scolded himself subconsciously, although it came out of his mouth. A sudden burst of panic exploded in his stomach as he stumbled backwards, trying to stand up. He quickly got to his foot, although he struggled, he started running around even faster than before. He literally just wasted a few good minutes, and Nico now could be anywhere. "Will! Nico is in the infirmary." Someone quickly said, waving their hand frantically towards the infirmary. "We don't know what is happening to him. He just-appeared." The Son of Apollo turned to greet one of his brothers, and that really made a whole rush of adrenaline enter his stomach. "Tell me his status!" He yelled back, running ahead towards the infirmary whilst his wheezing brother was barely telling him of Nico's situation. Looking back on it, he was pretty rude at ignoring his brother. But Nico had a chance of dying, and he was pretty sure his brother couldn't run that far to die from running causes. Nevertheless, he entered the infirmary and ran towards the bed where Nico usually stood. He quickly entered the room, which held dozens of heat lamps aiming straight at the bed. The Son of Hades laid there, completely still. His eyes darted around the contraptions, but nothing was connected to Nico. A sudden thought of Nico dying made his doctor instincts kick in even more than usual, but he had thought of what could have happened if he and Nico got together. They could easily make a happy couple, get married, adopt a kid, and just live what an average demigod couldn't. He wasn't about to let that go, that was for sure. "What are you guys doing!? Connect the blood streams! For Hades' sake, connect the flippin' vials, tubes, heart monitor, and someone: get ready to do chest compressions!" He ordered around the infirmary but no one was moving anywhere. He glared at them all, yet one of his sisters stood up in the dreaded silence. "We can't get a signal from him. Nothing can even connect to his body. Will...he is fading. Like-literally fading." She answered back, but Will barely heard what she said. He fell onto his knees in horrible internal pain. He wanted to think of a cure, yet he couldn't think of anything. A sudden thought entered his head as looked up and around his siblings. Each of them had a fallen expression displayed fully on their faces, but Will wouldn't let Nico escape that easily. "Pray. Wait for a miracle. Please, for Hades' sake, pray." (5/28/21)
Epilogue
4 Years Later
Percy Third Person POV I DON'T OWN ANY OF THIS. RICK RIORDAN DOES AND THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY @AggelosIsAngel on Wattpad.com (A FANFICTION)
4 years was a long time since all-the-commotion started over and over. Along the years, he did have some of the best moments in his life. From moments like birthdays, and moments to where he met up with all his friends. They had gone to multiple important areas around the world, going back into Italy so Bianca and Nico could explore their old ruins. Bianca had been great to his life, and he loved that she was this important in his life nowadays. They had gone to college together, although it did take a long time to even get accepted into one. Yet, they had stuck together for all this time and it seemed like this was the purpose of all his struggles throughout his life. All the things that the Fates put him through seemed worth all the trouble if this was the ending. A miracle did indeed happen when Will, his siblings, and everyone else close to Nico prayed for the Son of Hades. He only heard of Nico's condition literally a few hours after the Son of Hades was put into the hospital. Nevertheless, the closest people to Nico stood by his sleeping side whilst hoping for him to wake up. After all of that crazy stuff happened, Nico and Will finally got together. Did take a lot of effort, though, as they were as stubborn as the seals Percy had to deal with once. But it did end up correctly as 'Solangelo' was born. And Grover, that little goat, managed to get off his wildlife duties to revisit Camp. Once he found out about Nico; The Lord of the Wild managed to use nature healing, something like that, and he managed to heal Nico. So there was another good thing that came out of all of Percy's 20 year lifeline so far. And not to mention the fact about how much Grover missed among the months he left. Annabeth and Thalia was another set that ended happily, proving the fact that the Fates were probably at least merciful to their generation, and the duo helped the Hunt increase in numbers along with just a wonderful experience to even be in. They literally worked together as if they were 50 year old-long-life-twin-sisters as they never disagreed on anything anymore. Tyson, himself, got more recognized by his father, and he made a small little petition for Poseidon to pay attention to his kids more. It worked out at least as the other Son of Poseidon had increased in popularity amongst the citizens of Atlantis. He did even raise a charity fund to the point where Percy can't even comprehend it anymore, because of his ADHD of course. Yet he didn't really complain about that as if Tyson did positive-affecting things, it was awesome in Percy's brain. Currently, he is standing beside Bianca, Nico, and Will. They had been chatting for a few decent hours, mainly talking about the trips they took around the globe. However, the areas they visited weren't actually that interesting as Annabeth had to choose the areas. However, they didn't really bother to even visit the monuments. They mainly just walked around and went to various areas around the area they visited. And, luckily, there were multiple places that were interesting to visit. Mainly amusement parks, although, he for sure doesn't blame them as it was a Hades' Wealth Zone for the companies. Standing by them, holding Bianca's hand, he felt enlightened just by being safe and happy. Most hero stories end with tragedy, though he doesn't consider himself a hero despite how much others protested. But looking at the mirror, he realized how insanely unlucky but lucky he was. Moving on was probably the hardest thing he had done, because he can't just forget all of the deaths that were on his hands. Though, he moved past each one of them and made sure to properly immortalize them in the history books. "Miracles do happen." He murmured quietly, glancing at everyone else who didn't really hear him quite properly. "What?" Bianca answered back, letting the attention go to Percy. He just shook his head, smiling, he said back, "Everything; throughout deaths, pain, angst, tragedy, heartwarming, and depressed actions that took place in our lives. We still are standing here today. And miracles do indeed happen." (6/2/21)
