Leo POV

"So what do we do?" I asked once Percy was safely on the bed. "Take him to Olympus?"

"That wouldn't be a wise choice." Chiron said, solemnly. "Some gods believe that he is like how Jacob described him."

Katie narrowed my eyes. "Who on earth would believe that? I thought gods knew better than that. Which ones believe that Percy is anything other than loyal, modest, kind and brave."

Chiron sighed. I could tell he didn't want to tell us, in case we started attacking our parents. "I think we should just try and help him through this at the moment."

I nodded and looked at Percy sadly. He had one messed-up life. I vowed to myself I'd make camp pay for this. They would pay for hurting Percy.

Percy POV

I woke up and could still feel the tears running down my face. I sniffled a bit before I realised everyone was looking at me. I pulled the duvet covers closer towards me and turned away, trying to blank everything out. I closed my eyes, trying not to think of anything, but the scene with Annabeth kept replaying over and over in my mind. It wouldn't go away. I got up and walked to the bathroom. I could tell everyone was watching me, but I didn't acknowledge any of them. I just got ready, trying to hide my emotions.

It didn't work.

As soon as I saw everyone sitting there, I broke down and sobbed again. It was just a painful reminder that last night had actually happened. I could tell they were trying to comfort me, but it didn't work. I cried for about half an hour before I managed to hold myself together. I shrugged off all the hugs.

"I'm sorry," I said. "I can't stay here. Not with him and her. Thank you, and I mean it... but I need to be alone for a while. See you soon."

I walked shakily out of Bunker 9, and walked out of the woods, leaving everyone in the Bunker. I could tell they wanted to go after me, and I smiled sadly when Chiron came out and nodded to me. I nodded back and waved. A final wave goodbye.

I got to the hill before the inevitable trouble happened.

"Hey! Crab Sick!"

I clenched my trembling fists and continued walking, trying to ignore the jeering voice of Jacob Garland.

"Is the traitor running away? I got permission to banish you!"

I held in my scream of anger and stared, fuming, at the top of the top of the hill.

"Annabeth helped!"

That was the last straw. I turned around to face the piece of horse crap, and gave him my darkest wolf stare, holding all my fury at him. I walked towards, as the sky darkened, reflecting my rage. Jacob looked around, and started to whimper. I relished the look of absolute fear on his face. He started to run, but I smiled a cold, dark smile. I held out my hand, and forced his blood to jerk forwards, bringing his body to me.

It started to hail, and lightning ripped through the air. Campers were quaking where they stood.

"Do you really want to piss me off?" I asked darkly.

I stopped controlling his blood and he dropped to the floor in the front of me.

"Do you really want to piss of the son of the STORMBRINGER!"

He backed away, but I created an earthquake around him, and screamed.

Water geysers erupted me, and I drew upon more and more of my power. Another geyser erupted, this one lava, and I screamed a last, furious scream, before I pushed it all towards him.

Leo POV

My eyes widened as I saw the wall of bubbling water and lava head towards Jacob. I ran and pushed him out of the way, holding my breath. The scumbag deserved it, but if he died, the gods would be even madder at Percy. The heat didn't affect me, so I just walked through it to the son of Nike. I reached into my toolbelt and took out my biggest hammer. And whacked the idiot in the head with it.

I walked over to the shuddering heap that was Percy. I sighed and crouched by him.

"Calypso," I whispered, "I need your help."

I saw a flash of light and heard a gasp.

Olympian Throne Room

"We should kill him! Jacob has already told us he worked for Gaia!" The goddess of love shrilled.

"Yeah! I agree with my girlfriend. That punk should die!"

"Do you really believe Perseus, who's fatal flaw is loyalty would go against us!?" The wisdom goddess asked, still disappointed in her daughter.

"I thought you hated my son. Is the goddess of wisdom so stupid that she can't see Jacob Garland is a hero!?"

"He is the only decent male on the Earth uncle. Watch how you speak if you want to be able to have another kid!"

"QUIET!" Zeus, the king of the gods boomed.

"We shall hold a vote, and decide if Perseus Jackson should die."

"Why do we need to hold a vote? He ruined my couple and is a traitor!"

"Aphrodite, SHUT UP AND LET FATHER SPEAK!" The sun god screamed, glowing a harsh white.

Everyone shut up.

"Thank you Apollo. Now, anyone who wants to keep Perseus alive, raise your hand." The king of the gods demanded.

Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus, Hermes and Demeter raised their hands. The other gods were fuming, apart from Dionysus.

He was asleep.

"It is decided then." Zeus boomed. "Perseus Jackson shall live!"

Outskirts of Camp Half-Blood

Leo POV

"What the hell happened to him!" My girlfriend screamed, right in my ear might I add.

"Well, he kind of got his heart broken and everyone at camp hates him cause they believe this new guy and-"

Calypso cut me off. "They did WHAT! I'm gonna kill them."

I rushed between her and the camp. "Wait don't do that!"

She pushed passed me.

"Hey Cal! Cal! Happy thoughts! Come on, happy face!"

She stormed to camp, and I ran to keep up with her.

"We need to help Percy first!"

That's what did it. She turned around and ran to Percy, turning him over onto his back.

"His breathing's laboured, he's lost too much energy. Leo, get me a bucket of water."

I obliged, running to the lake. No-one stopped me, as the campers were either in Bunker 9, their cabins, or outside and unconscious. I whipped a bucket out of my belt, and filled it up, before running back to Percy and Calypso.

When I got there, Calypso was singing. Amazingly. I mean, mortals might think they're good, but they are nothing like Calypso. I shook my head and dumped the water on his head. It was cold, and he bolted up awake. I smirked at his reaction. Even with the son of the water god, that trick never got old.

I saw him try to get up, but of course, my girlfriend pushed him down.

"You," she started, "Are not allowed to go up. Now. We need to go to a more discreet place."

She flashed us away, and I landed on the familiar, comfortable sand of where I first met Calypso. I smiled. We were on Ogygia.

So! Here ya go guys. If you haven't already guessed, Leo is going to be quite a major part of the story. Next chapter, we'll meet Artemis and Apollo, and Percy will become Clint! Anyway, what do you think? Good? Bad? R&R! Constructive criticism welcome!
