Betrayed and Alone

The Story of Betrayal (Part 2)

      Sorry, I have writer's block. I'm mostly writing because somebody actually likes this story. DemigodInTraining, you are pretty awesome. :). Also the bold "to the gods" part is from the last chapter. Thought you might want to know that! Except the quote. Also, pretend Annabeth still has her dagger. K? I might make another part......

         Previously.............

   "To the gods!" A heart broken scream ripped through the air as Percy Jackson opened the velvet box and tossed it into the fire where he had once sacrificed his meals to his father- no ex-father. A ring fit for the gods glittered in the air. Time seemed to stop as everyone looked at it. A band of silver- too bright to be normal- with curious swirls of gold was the first thing everyone noticed. A grayish diamond that was carved to look like an owl, with several tiny sea green gems surrounded the owl- the owl also had green eyes. "To Hell and Back, Together" was engraved into the ring's metal. The entire Olympus Council had flashed in, just in time to see the beautiful- no, godly- ring, glittering as it fell into the blood-red, cold as ice, fire. Aphrodite, who had been glaring at the "traitor", gave a horrible scream of pain as the ring fell into the fire. The goddess of love falling into a sobbing heap, flashed out. "Well? Grab the lying traitor!" Annabeth commanded, snapping the campers out of shock. Percy winced as if the love of his life had just stabbed him in the heart with a heavily poisoned blade, pulled it out, and stabbed him again.

        The entire camp surrounded Percy, gods included. Even the Hunters had joined. "I'll remember this- this false accusation, the betrayal, and when you need me the most, I won't be there. When you die, I hope you remember my words." Percy vowed, his heart-broken, pain filled, sea green eyes staring into Annabeth's cold, grey eyes. "We won't need you, we have Jack! He's better, stronger, faster, and handsomer than you'll ever be! I don't love you, and I never did! I pretended to love you just to get my mom's attention! I love Jack- if it was a choice to save him or you, I would choose Jack." Annabeth hissed, each word a like poison to Percy. He staggered as if he'd been punched. What Annabeth did next was the worst thing, the one thing that made Percy feel like something inside of him had died: Anabeth turned around, grabbed Jack, and kissed him like there was no tomorrow. Athena turned and showed the heart-broken demigod that she didn't approve of Annabeth's actions before flashing out. Hephaestus, the one who made the ring, sent Percy a apologetic look and was about to flash out when Zeus boomed, "Hephaestus, make some power-draining chains. Now!" The blacksmith god winced and sent Percy another apologetic look before flashing out and returning with Celestial bronze chains.

         Percy sent the sad, dis-formed god a look that suggested that his apology was accepted. The god relaxed slightly and handed Zeus the chains. Percy took a deep breath as the circle got smaller, getting closer to him in a unfriendly way, and stood tall and proud. Annabeth went face-to-face with
Percy, her grey eyes cold and unforgiving. The former son of the sea god calmly put his hands behind his back. The Athena spawn's eyes widened slightly- she hadn't expected for it to be this easy. "I'm not stupid- I'm actually smarter than I look, you know. And I'm not going to die begging- even for something I didn't do." Percy said coldly, cutting the ties he had that had anything to do with Greek mythology. His former girlfriend just narrowed her eyes, went behind the betrayed demigod, and put some Celestial bronze handcuffs on his hands, and unsheathed her dagger. She nudged the raven-haired demigod with it's sharp point, suggesting he walk. Hades and Hestia watched in disapproval from a distance. The captured demigod shot them a warm smile. Sad faces were returned. In a clearing, the gods caused a metal pole to appear. Someone unhand-cuffed him before handcuffing him again, looping around the metal pole before going to his other hand. He was trapped. The Olympians (Aphrodite, Hestia, Hades, Athena, Apollo, Atremis, and Hephaestus not included) surrounded Percy with an evil glint in their eyes. Someone chained him to the ground. All the gods unsheathed a weapon."Now for your punishment, traitor."The king of gods thundered. Zeus raised his weapon.

                            After some painful and gruesome torture..........

         They had burned the words "Traitor to Olympus" into his chest. When he was dying, they forced him into immortality (he's not a god, just unkillable unless the gods will him to die). But that wasn't enough. Now they were throwing him to Tarturaus. Kronos and others would torture him down there. Percy was still chained down, scarlet blood covering him head to toe. "Good bye!" and the gods tossed him into Tarturaus. In chains. Guess where Percy landed? On his grandpa's front door. How did Percy know? Kronos came out of the bone house. Percy tried to do a smile."No hard feelings, right?" Kronos chuckled at the weak attempt to escape what he had in mind for Percy. "Oh, but there is hard feelings. And you're in chains! I'm lucky today." And with that, Kronos dragged the heavily wounded, chained demigod into a dungeon. "Just my luck." Percy muttered to himself as Kronos grabbed Backbiter. "What did you say?" And then Kronos swung his sword. Then Percy saw nothing.
