Betrayed and Forgotten

The Visit

TIDES POV

I forgot about the great feeling that I get when I'm riding a Pegasus. Like I'm on top of the world but I remember how close the ground is. I've ignored my shoulder but the pain just keeps seeping through and into my whole body, but mostly my chest. Could it be....? Nah, his blade didn't have any on it.. or did it? I apparently also forgot how fast Blackjack flew because before I knew it, I was at my mom's apartment. 'Thanks buddy, no go fly around until I tell you to come back.' 'Thanks boss! Have fun!' The Pegasus happily flew away and I trudged to my mom's apartment, (A/N:idk how these work.. I live in a house so bear with me) and knocked on the door. An older looking Paul answered. "How may I help you?" He asked sacredly, "Paul Blofis correct? Is Mrs. Jackson here?" He looked at me almost as if is blown my cover. He quickly called mom, who was holding a plate of fresh blue cookies that made my stomach sound like a beached whale, to the door. She sets the plate down and speeds to the door. She examined me up and down, "and who might you be?" I automatically knew one word that would mean everything.

"Mom."

Her eyes start to look glassy, "P-Percy? Is that really you?" I pulled down my hood and she attacked me with a hug. "I missed you so much mom." It was hard to keep the tears from rolling down my face. After what seemed like forever, we released from the hug and I gave Paul a bear hug. My mom smiled with a new light back in her eye. "It seems like we have a lot to talk about!" SHe ushered me in and made me sit down at the table, "would you like some fresh blue cookies?" My mouth started watering, it hadbeen fifteen years, can't a guy want a cookie? "You know me so well." "Well, once we're all settled, you mister need to tell us where you've been for the last fifteen years." She said with a nagging tone. So once we were all settled and sitting around the circualr table, mom and Paul holding hands, I told them my story; about how Ryder came to camp, how I was betrayed right before proposing to Annabeth, how I've been the commander of Chaos's troops ever since. she had a proud gleam in her eye when I mentioned that part, and how Chaos adopted me and how I have new powers. As I was saying that, the pain was steadily rising and it hurt to blink and I felt feverish. "Well mom, it's been nice chatting with you, but I have to go back to Camp now. I'll visit you when I can." she hugged me tight "You better, Percy." I slowly backed out of the hug and walked out of the apartment, dizzily keeping my balance as i made it outside, where the chilly air was making me shiver. 'Blackjack... Where are you? We need to go, like now.' A black pegasus came up and somehow I managed to climb on top. 'Go straight to Camp.... and fast.'

DEATHBREATH POV

After Tide left, camp activities went along as normal. We trained with the cmapers, and we sparred alone, with everyone watching us. Taking note on how to stand correctly and how to properly swing a sword. After a little while, it all got too much and I went to the beach to bealone. I can almost imagine Tide-- when he was Percy-- sitting there with a grin on his face while just simply looking out into the water, as if vewing its beauty for the first time. I imagine him a whole different person. Times have changed, the beach is no longer beautiful, due to the dead looking sand. I have no doubt in my mind that Percy believes it was his fault. I know what your thinking, 'hisname is TIde now.' Well no. I veiw him as Percy. He will always be Percy. Maybe not the same one, but still the same demigod. I was lost in my thoughts when I felt a tap on my shoulder and look up to see a curious Hazel looking down at me with her beautiful golden eyes. "Can I sit by you?" "Go ahead." I say, wanting to talk to my sister. "It used to be more...lively here. Until....he left." She looked out into the sea, "what do you mean, Hazel isn't it?" She nods her head, "Poseidon used to have a son other than Ryder..... he was so brave and... so loyal. According to the gods, he left.... and died... Ever since, the beach itself looks dead. The other gods are afraid that he's fading. Weird thing is, no matter how many times I visit the underworld, Percy's soul is not there. Neither is.. My brother's." Her golden eyes were full of sadness and regret and I felt the brotherly urge to hug her and comfort her, and kill the bastard that made her this way... That would be Percy and myself... I sigh, "if I tell you something, promise not to tell anyone?" She nods her head, and wipes tears from her face. "Hazel..... it's me... it's-" just then Tide MMed me and he sounded really weak.... 'Ryder...blade...check....poison..' I istantly bolt up and run toward the infirmary, "wait, who are you?" Hazel yells behind me. I wish to tell her and just stay silent and go to the infirmary. Percy was right... the blade was poisoned. 'Tide, where are you right now?' There seemed to be a pause 'Tide answer me now.' 'I'm on....Blackjack. I'll contact.. Chaos.' I could barely be assured by that. 'Tide no. Let me so it, I'll contact Alpha too. Just..don't fall off.' I didn't know if he responded, because right then I MMed Alpha. 'Hey there was an emergency Alpha. I'll need you to keep the troop in check.' 'Okay. If you need help just let me know if you need help.' Then I messaged Chaos as well. 'Chaos could you come please? LIke now?' Chaos flashed right next to me, "Death, what is it? Where's Tide?" I looked into his galaxy like eyes and told him the truth. "Well, Ryder challenged him to a duel and as you probably know, Tide kicked his butt, but what we didnt know is that Ryder's blade had a different type of poison and basicallyhe's on a Pegasus trying to get back here." "how...how long ago was this?" "This was right after lunch" Chaos's face paled and we both looked up trying to find the black Pegasus that would bealmost invisible to find, considering it was almost dark. Then I spotted something, no someone falling. I pointed it out to Chaos "quck sir, you have to catch him." Chaos nodded in agreement, "Yeah, because if it's the poison I think it is, he doesn't have much time left." We ran to catch the falling commander.

LEOS POV

Annabeth is a bitch.

One might call her an Annabitch.

Hehe.

That Tide dude is... AWESOME and all she cares about is if Ryder gets hurt. Maybe she needs a firey hammer in her face to finally make her smart again.. that's not such a bad idea....

In case if you're wondering, bad boy supreme is in Bunker 9 working on a legit way to find Calypso. Thinking of her beautiful cinnamon colored hair and her loving eyes made me sad, so this is how I cheer up most of the time. Yeaa I'm the kind of person who hides the pain with a joke of at least an upbeat attitude. Hazel, Jason, Piper, and Frank just don't know the feeling of being alone. Seeing them all so happy and in love well.. It kind of hurts. I don't think they know to what extent I miss him. I could tell him whatever I wanted and he wouldn't judge me for it, he was my best friend, sort of like a brother to me. Some tiny part of me told me to stop worrying and that he was closer than I think. Could that be true? Could Percy Jackson be back at Camp Half Blood? Impossible. The gods never granted him immortality. I hadn't realized it, but my hands had put together a celestial bronze model of Percy's face. Every detail exact. This actually happens a lot, I'll be thinking and my hands will go astray and build something new, but never before Percy's face though.... I wipe the tears off of my face and sigh. I put on my unmistakable '2 hot 4 u' smile and walked out of Bunker 9 with a full head 'he's alive, he HAS to be. He's Percy Jackson.' He thought as he walked towards the ewww campers. I will find Percy, and Calypso.
