Percy Jackson: Immortal High School, Mortal Pain (Completed)

Vance Quinn

Vance Quinn. I hate that guy. He took everyone I loved away. My family. My friends. Annabeth, my girlfriend. My reputation. Everything.

It all started when he strolled into camp saying he was the son of Poseidon. I thought he was alright at first. I mean, I wasn't fond of Tyson at first but now we're best buds. I figured I would warm up to his guy. Wrong. Vance created lies that I did something that I didn't.

He stole the Stoll's pranking supplies. Destroyed Grover's reed pipes. Replaced Nico's and Thalia's dark clothes with bright neon ones. Broke Frank's arrows and bow. Talked bad about Hazel and Piper behind their backs. Made fun of Jason and Leo.

At first, I thought this would cool off after I claimed I didn't do it and they would believe it. Nope. It made everything worse. They start talking bad about me and breaking my stuff. At one point, someone tried to steal Riptide, but obviously that didn't work. I thought it would be fine as long as I had Annabeth. But no.

Flashback
I was walking through the woods to the beach. I was SUPER excited. Tonight I was going to propose to Annabeth. I had told her to meet me there at seven thirty, the time when the sun sets. It was almost time.

When I got there, Annabeth was already there. She was dressed in a grey dress with owl earrings looking at the ocean. I walked up to her.

"Hey, Annabeth."

"Hey, Percy." Suddenly, she just slapped me!

"What the heck was that for?" I exclaim.

"For cheating on me!"

"I never cheated on you!"

"Vance said otherwise. He said you were!"

"When did you believe someone without proof?"

"I have proof! You were cheating on me with Drew from the Aphrodite cabin!"

"You really trust them?"

"I do! I can't believe you would do that to me!"

"I would never! I've been through Tartarus and back with you! You really think I would do such a thing?"

"I don't care! We're done!"

"What?"

"You heard me! We're done!"

"Annabeth—"

"Leave me alone!"

I stand there for a moment. "Fine." I throw the ring box at her. "Goodbye."

I turn around and run until I can't breath no more. I find myself beside Thalia's tree and sit down. Suddenly, a bright flash appears and I find myself on Olympus. Zeus and the other gods are standing there with both camps, Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter behind them.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

Zeus ignores my question. "Perseus Jackson, you have been accused of treason and therefore shall be punished." Everyone gasps.

"Treason against Olympus? I just saved your butts!"

"Do not speak to me in that tone! The fates have decided this and therefore, it shall be fulfilled!"

"If you hate me so much, just kill me then."

"I cannot."

"Why?"

"Your father has demanded we do not and therefore we can't."

"Fine! Give me my punishment! I don't even know on what charges except against Olympus and there's no evidence! You know I would never do a thing like that!"

"You plotted with Gaea and Kronos, betrayed your friends, and lastly, broke the heart of Annabeth Chase."

"I never did such a thing!"

"Vance Quinn tells us otherwise."

That pile of Pegasus dung approaches. "Your majesty, I shall call up each of the seven and his friends." One by one, they each go up there and declare actions against me I did not do.

Zeus doesn't care, though, and faces me. "Your punishment shall be: you will be made almost completely immortal—you will live for centuries, but you are able to be harmed—and forced to attend high school for all eternity. A curse shall be placed upon you: no matter how much you try, every mortal you ever love will be killed in front of you for your actions. Every four years, you will be placed at a different school. Your guardian shall always be there, but he will be immortal."

"Who is my guardian?"

"You will find out in a few moments."

Zeus nods to Poseidon. He slowly approaches me and places his hand on my head. "Perseus Jackson, I hereby disown you as my son. All your power of water is taken from you."

I look at him with a steely glare. "Thanks, Father."

"Perseus Jackson, your punishments shall henceforth take place from here on. Now, be gone." Zeus flicks his wrist and I find myself in a trashed house in the middle of the woods that had the potential of being nice but wasn't.

"Hey, Perseus! Miss me?" I turn around slowly. I know that voice anywhere. Gabe Ugliano.
