Cold

Ch. 1 (prologue)

It was just a normal day at Camp Half-Blood, the Stolls pranking the newbies, Ares kids picking fights and wrestling around, Hephaestus kids tinkering around and working in the Bunker. Just normal camp stuff, but today was a special day. It was my eighteenth birthday as well as mine and Annabeth's two-year anniversary. Even though things have been going horrible since Conrad came around such as my parents dying and everyone basically forgetting me. I couldn't help but smile knowing my beautiful, smart, and sometimes dirty (if you know what I mean) girlfriend is still in love with me.

I was walking down to the strawberry fields to the spot where Annabeth and I sometimes do it and have our dates. As I was walking down I heard someone grunting and saying "Fuck yeah" a lot. I dismissed it and decided to walk a bit farther away until I heard a voice that I recognized all too well saying "Oh faster!" but instead of my name it said "Conrad".

"Annabeth?! What the fuck are you doing screwing him?" I yelled and Annabeth and Conrad scrambling around from behind the tree.

"Percy? What are you doing here I thought you had gone home?" she said walking from behind the tree and Conrad running off somewhere smirking.

"What? Today is my birthday and our anniversary!" I shouted getting angrier.

"Shit." She said looking down at her feet.

"Well?" I asked getting impatient. "Why were you screwing him when I'm your boyfriend?"

"I'm so sorry Percy. I just realized that I missed Luke a lot and he looks so much like him and he acts like him before Kronos. I got weak, I'm sorry." She said looking at me tears in her eyes.

"Well you know what, I don't believe you. I don't believe that you Annabeth Chase got weak for a guy who looks like the guy that tried to kill me, you, Grover, Chiron. I think that you saw your little vision of a newly built New York with your father and mother happy and instead of me there Luke was there again. And I can't believe that I was going to give you this." I said in disgust as I threw a promise wring that had sea green and gray crystals going around it and carved on the inside was "I promise to always love you".

Annabeth picked it up and read the inside and looked at it for a while before breaking down crying on her knees. Over the next few days I saw her around camp looking terrible and I felt horrible, so I went to her cabin planning on asking her if we could work this out. As I was on my way Malcom saw me and ran over to me trying to stop me from going inside the cabin. I just pushed through him and quietly walked in.

What I saw broke my heart into a million pieces, there lying on Annabeth's bed was her and Conrad watching something on her laptop and making out. I started to tear up and turned around to see Malcom looking down at the ground. I didn't know what to do now so I did the first thing that came to mind. Run.

I waited until night had fallen before doing anything. I didn't pack anything but some ambrosia, nectar, Riptide, a picture of me, Grover, Annabeth, and Thalia, a picture of my mom and Paul, some money, a small moleskin that was given to me by a mysterious man a couple of hours ago labeled "Cold", and my watch shield. I then got some gasoline from the Hephaestus cabin and drenched my room with all the gasoline could get. I then set up some Greek fire bombs and walked out of my cabin going up to Thalia's tree. I didn't look back one more time and just pressed the remote detonation button hearing my cabin blow up

(BTW, I wanted to let you people know. This is not my story! A writer from another site [Fanfiction.net] the true writer gave me permission to publish his story on here for all you to read. also, THESE ARE NONE OF MY CHARACTERS, ALL CHARACTERS [besides Conrad] BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. I thinks that covers the copy right shit.)
