The Olympians Regret

Chapter One; When it all went wrong

(First POV)

Hello, Most of you will know me as Percy Jackson, but now, I am known as Λάθος or Láthos. For those of you who don't speak Greek, this means the mistake. Ever since the event two months after the second giant war, where I single-handedly defeated Gaia, things haven't been the same. Nobody has heard from me in 7 years and hopefully assume I am dead because when I return, they will wish I was. So, let's talk about the event that started all of this.

7 Years ago
Two months after the giant war, and everything was perfect. And if you share my luck, perfect is always bad. It was early in the morning and I was nervously looking for Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite, for advice on how to make my proposal to Annabeth special. Yes, I know me, the great Percy Jackson, Nervous about finding a child of Aphrodite. Not if you were in my shoes, or anybody who lived in Camp Olympus, oh yeah, after the war the two camps were combined to make everybody safer. I'm getting sidetracked again! It's probably the ADHD, so back to the Annabeth thing. I was looking for Piper for at least 20 minutes before I found her, but it wasn't a state that she was normally in. Piper was in a secluded spot, rather difficult to get to, hence why my legs are covered in cuts.

How I found her was not fortunate, or pleasant at all. So after the 20 minutes of looking for Piper, I was walking through the woods when I heard somebody crying. So naturally, I went to make sure whoever it was wasn't hurt. And back to the secluded spot where I found said crying person. When I noticed it was piper I called out "Piper, I was looking for you are you okay?", no response. So I got closer and put my hand on her shoulder, and she shouted"FUCK OFF JASON!!" and then punched me in the face. I grunted, putting a hand on my face trying to stop my nose from bleeding when she turned to look at me "Oh my god! I'm so sorry Percy! I thought you were someone else" "Don't worry about it, what happened between you and Jason?" I asked. "I..i" she sobbed and as if by instinct I sat next to her and hugged her, at first she tried to pull away but I tightened my grip, so she relaxed. "Shh, it's okay, you don't have to talk about it. Just calm down and try to catch your breath" I whispered to her. "Th.. t.. Thank you" she stuttered, trying to stop crying on my shirt. "Hey, you can let it out, don't be afraid". I said, to which she cried even harder into my shoulder.

After a few minutes Piper had calmed down enough to talk, she explained why she was here. "I was looking for Jason when some of the campers started glaring at me. At first i thought nothing of it, but then people from my cabin started to glare as well i thought that something was wrong" at this point Piper was stifling a sob "I saw Annabeth and asked her if she has seen Jason and then she just slapped me and walked off. When i found him, he was kissing someone else, so i just ran and ended up here"

(if there are any ways i can improve this paragraph please tell me)

At this point I wasn't even thinking straight. First my closest friend gets slapped by the girl i was going to propose to, and then my cousin cheats on her. "Piper, if you want you can hide in my cabin, i will talk to chiron about why your in there" "thank you Percy" Piper said.

"I'm going to find Annabeth and find out why she slapped you, see you later Piper" "Bye Percy" after I left, i heard something going on near the spot me and Annabeth had found by the beach in the forest. "So, when will you tell him?" a male voice asked "soon, I don't know. I don't love him but it's nice having someone around to do everything for me, kinda like a slave" replied another voice. As I got closer, i saw the two figures. One I immediately recognized as Jason Grace, Thalia's little bro. The other looked extremely familiar, with blonde princess curls in her hair, then Jason spoke "Seriously Annabeth, just dump him already. He isn't smart and is only holding you down" before this could continue any further i stepped in "Annabeth? How could you! I loved you! I jumped into Tartarus for YOU!" and then I ran. I didn't stop until I found myself in front of the big house "Chiron, where are you?" i shouted as I entered the building. "In here my boy, what seems to be the problem?" he asked. "Is it Ok if Piper stays in my cabin for a while? She just found out something and doesn't want to see anyone." "Of course, Perseus, but behave!" he shouted as I ran out "When don't I?" i replied "Most of the time" i heard him shout as I ran to my cabin. When I opened the door i couldn't see Piper anywhere "Piper? Where are you?" "In here" "you ok?" I asked. "Yeah, just going to bed early" "Ok, Chiron said you can stay as long as I behave" then somebody started knocking on the door "Percy? You in here" it was Annabeth.
