All rights go to uncle rick. He owns most of the characters and places. The plot and a few of the characters are mine.

Percy P.O.V.

I was walking down a vacant road, in an empty town, in the middle of nowhere. I haven't been anywhere that's crowded in about a year, for fear that anyone would find me. The Gods, Demigods, Artemis Hunters, even the Amazons are after me.

All of a sudden I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I quickly turned around to see the Minotaur stomping his way toward me. I sighed and thought 'Not you again'. Of course all the monsters are after me too.

"Perseus Jackson, prepare to die." He said in his low gruff voice.

"It's just Percy and I'm not dying anytime soon." I said.

About 5 minutes later I walked off, covered in monster dust. I don't know why he even bothers anymore. This is about the 20th time I sent him to Tartarus this month. He's been showing up more and more. I kinda just expect him to show up nowadays.

But I can never go back to Camp Half-blood. They'll kill me if I do. That day was horrible an it happened so quickly.

------------- FLASH BACK -------------

"For the last time Drew, go away." I said with a sigh.

"Why won't you tell me what your doing for Annabeths' birthday. You told Will, Nico, Jason, Piper, Hazel, AND Frank. You even told Reyna!" Drew said exasperated. "How am I any different?"

Drew has been trying to convince me for the last 2 or 3 hours to tell her what I have been planning for Annabeths' surprise birthday party. I am going to propose to her and only 7 people know. I have been planning this for almost a year. We defeated Geae almost 3 years ago and it's been pretty quiet ever since, so now would be the perfect time to propose to her.

"Hmm, let's see. First, I don't trust you. Second, I don't trust you! Third, I DON'T TRUST YOU!!!" I said. "Can u leave now? I'm taking Annabeth out on a date and she'll be here any minute."

"Fine." She said with a pouty face, then she added quickly. "But a quick kiss goodbye."

Before I knew what was happening, she kissed me. Then I heard a gasp from the door. I shoved Drew off of me and turned to see Annabeth.

"HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME?!" Annabeth shouted through sobs. "I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" Annabeth turned and ran away.

"Good going, Percy." Drew said, I looked back at her and saw her smirking.

I turned and ran after Annabeth but the whole camp had heard her scream at me and wouldn't let me see her.

"You don't understand! Let me explain!" I said trying to get to Annabeth.

"There's not much to explain and it's not that hard to understand." Said a daughter of Athena.

"Please just let me see her." I begged to them.

"Why? So you can just hurt her some more? I don't think so." Said a son of Athena.

Eventually people started throwing punches and getting aggressive. I didn't return their fire, for fear that I would hurt someone. So eventually I went back to my cabin, with a lot of bruises and scratches. My knees buckled and I fell to the ground and cried. I cried and cried. I couldn't believe Annabeth and me were over– done– finished... broken.

About an hour later, I heard the conch shell telling everybody it was time to eat dinner. I got up, washed my face off, and cleaned myself up. I figured Annabeth would go to eat dinner with everybody else and I could explain to her what happened. Then maybe- hopefully, she would take me back.

As I traveled to the dinning pavilion, I got glares and whispers. 'How could he do that', 'I can't believe the nerve he's got'. Every once in a while, I got rude gestures pointed at me. I started out trying to explain that that's not what happened, but no one would listen, so I gave up.

Before I got to the pavilion, I saw Piper and Jason talking to each other. I walked up to them and shyly said "Hey."

"Oh. It's you." Piper said.

"I can't believe you would hurt Annabeth like that." Jason said with a look of disgust.

"I didn't!" I exclaimed. "It was Dre-"

"She said you would do that." Piper said, interrupting me.

"Do what?" I asked bewildered.

"She said that you would blame her. Don't play dumb!" Piper said, angry and annoyed. "She told me and the other Aphrodite children about how you forced her to date you and not tell anybody. She's in tears, she wouldn't even come to dinner."

"Wha-" I said. Then I got mad. "I didn't force her to do anything but leave me alone! She's lying! And I didn't cheat on Annabeth!"

"Whatever Percy, I just can't stand you right now." Piper said. Then she walked away to her cabins table and sat with her siblings, who were glaring at me.

"I thought you were cool, Percy, but you turned out to just be a lying, jerk." Jason said walking away, shaking his head, with the look of disgust still clearly on his face.

I stood there, shocked. My friends. They just abandoned me. They wouldn't even listen to me.

All of a sudden, I heard the conch horn again. Somebody was in trouble at the boarder. I ran to help the person. I was the first to get there and see what was going on. A kid about a 2 years younger then me, with black hair and tanned skin was being chased by 3 hell hounds. I got out riptide and quickly got rid of them, while the kid got showered in monster. All the campers came a little later studying the scene.

Then the newcomer said, "This guy tried to help those monster things kill me. He watched me battle them out and then tried kill me with his sword. Thank the gods you guys came when you did."

"Seriously, Percy!" Piper shouted. "Would you stop being such a jerk!? Honestly it would probably be better if you just left!"

I heard almost all of the campers shout out, agreeing with Piper. They eventually dispersed to help the lying kid get settled at Camp Half-Blood.

I couldn't believe it. No one wanted me here, no one believed in me, no one stood by me. I was... alone.

All of a sudden there was a great flash of light. When I could see again, I saw a very mad Hermes glaring at me.

"Percy Jackson, you have been called to a meeting on Mount Olympus to determine your fate." Hermes said with a facial expression that told me that he was not happy to see me. There was another flash and the next thing I knew I was on Mount Olympus.

-- FLASH BACK INTERRUPTED --

"HEY! Watch where your going!" A girl yelled.

What do you think? I usually write a lot, so you guys don't have to worry about short chapters. I don't usually care for A/N's so I won't write much when you see one of these. Sorry if there's any typos, I'm writing this on my phone until I get a computer. Hope you guys liked my story so far c:
