The Lost Goddess

The Betrail

Percy's POV

9 months after defeating Gaea...

It's been 9 month's since defeating Gaea and I still can't believe we are finally at peace. I am currently waiting on my Wise Girl at the beach when I hear cheering. So being the seaweed brain I am followed by the cheering to the campfire. When I got there my heart shattered.

I walked up and I saw all of my immortal friends cheering at Annabeth and some demigod making out. Within seconds I realized that Demigod was Nathan Barnes, son of Aphrodite.

When they broke apart I heard the one thing I never thought I would ever hear Annabeth say.

"I love you, Nathan!" She said with the loving smile she used to give me.

Without thinking I ran to my cabin and packed everything I could find. As I started to walk out the door I stopped and took my greatest creation out of my pocket: an engagement ring I made for her.

It was a simple silver band with one grey owl and one sea-green trident on each side with a diamond in the middle. On the inside was inscribed 'Always and forever ~Your Seaweed Brain'. As I looked at it I didn't feel sadness. But regret, anger, and most of all betrayal.

I walked out of my cabin and headed towards Athena's Cabin where Will was talking to Malcolm outside arguing about something.

"Hey Perce!" Will said to me. I didn't even look at him.

I looked straight into Malcolm's calculating grey eyes.

"Don't come looking for me." And I gave him the ring not breaking eye contact and walked away.

I didn't even notice Will and Malcolm screaming my name. I was too determined to get out of the place I used to call home.

Before I could leave Camp Half-Blood I needed to make one more stop.

Before I knew it I was in front of the Big House. I stepped up to the door and willed the water molecules from around me and shaped them to become nails. I froze the water and nailed a letter to the doors and walked away. The letter was to Chiron, everything I couldn't say to his face and more.

As I walked to Thalia's tree I turned and said the word I never thought would ever leave my mouth.

"Goodbye." With that, I turned around and headed for the Empire State Building.

Third Persons' POV

On Olympus...

As usual, the Olympians were arguing about the usual when suddenly Aphrodite stops and falls to the floor causing all the Olympians to also stop and look at the goddess of love. Hephaestus and Ares run to the goddess they love and help her to her throne. As they helped her up she started to cry.

"Aphrodite, what's wrong?" Zeus asks.

"A great love was just broken. But not just any love. A true unbreakable love." She looked at him. "Almost unbreakable. I feel heartbreak but I've never felt anything like this before. Ever."

The Gods looked at her in disbelief. Who could this have been? They thought. But before they could ask the doors to the throne room opened with the two-time hero of Olympus.

"Percy? What are you doing here?" Poseidon asked his favorite son.

Percy looked up and Aphrodite gasped. The gods looked at the goddess in confusion, but before they could say anything, she was in her human form hugging Percy. He was shocked at first but hugged her back knowing she could see and feel his heartbreak.

The gods in the room were all surprised and even more shocked at this.

"Perseus what are you going here hugging HER?!" Said the outraged goddess of Wisdom.

Percy turned to her with cold eyes making her flinch back. The hearth in the room slowly started to fade and didn't go unnoticed.

The goddess of the Hearth came out of her flame with a look of sorrow.

"Percy," Hestia said. "I am so sorry." And with that, she also hugged Percy.

Once they broke apart Percy turned to the gods.

"I have a request that I wish you to fulfill."

"No! Don't except!" Hestia and Aphrodite screamed.

"And what would that be young hero?" Hera asked with curiosity.

"Kill me."
