Percy POV

Life is great, my girlfriend Annabeth was beside me on the beach. We talked about random stuff laughing into the night. The seven and I are taking a rest for now, the last few weeks were hectic. With the second Giant War and all that stuff, rest is something we desperately needed. But as a demigod everything can go downhill for you, a monster could stab you in the back and kill you instantly. I shook those thoughts away and looked at my girlfriend. Then we noticed that the sun was setting. We packed up everything we had used and prepared to head back to our cabins.

"Bye Annabeth," I said. I leaned in for a kiss until a hand stopped me in my tracks.

"Seaweed brain, I'm so tired right now, can we do this tomorrow," she said, I nodded disappointed. Then Annabeth jogged off to her cabin. I watched her until she disappeared into her cabin. Then I turned around and starred out at Long Island. After a few minutes I headed back to my cabin. I took off my shirt and lied down.  I laid there thinking about my brother.

Nathan Burns.

I want to kill that boy.

Yes, kill.

I would never want to end a life simply because such a person annoyed me but Nathan Burns is an exception to that self-made rule.

You may ask what he has done?

Everything.

You may think that I'm Exaggerating, but I am not.

Nathan is the cause for everything in my already messed up life to be ruined.

Ever since he arrived at camp six long weeks ago I have wanted to rip his head off his shoulders.

But sadly he was my brother. He claimed to be 16, two years younger than me, so that meant Poseidon had broken the Oath a second time to bring Nathan into this world. And how I wished he hadn't.

Poseidon. He wouldn't let me call him dad or even father anymore. It had to be Lord Poseidon. He had been summoned to camp when Zeus found out about Nathan's age and that Poseidon had broken the Oath. Poseidon has proudly stated that 'yes, Nathan was his son.' That was also the day I heard Poseidon say to Nathan that 'Percy was just the tool I used to save Olympus.' We haven't spoken since.

I think if Poseidon had the choice he would of never of had me. Sally Jackson would never of met him and they would never of had a son called Perseus.

Mom and Paul, the man I thought of as a second father to me, didn't know anything that occurred at camp. I kept it secret. They already worried enough about me, I didn't want to worry them further. Mom was still worried that Hera would spirit me off again for an unprecedented amount of time.

Chiron had become distant with me. He ignored me, acted as if he wasn't my third father which I had thought him of these past few years. Every time I tried talking to him I got short, almost nervous replies, as he checked over his and my shoulders, as if checking who could possibly hear us or who would see us speaking. He didn't trust me with teaching the younger kids swordplay anymore which saddened me due to I enjoyed it immensely. It was always a fun few hours which brightened my day.

And Annabeth. Nathan had said one word to her and she has spent the last six weeks drooling all over him. And she said I drool in my sleep. At least I don't drool all over Nathan all day long. It's always 'Nathan this' or 'Nathan that'. I only ever see her at meals or by chance as she rushes around after Nathan like he's the God of Architecture. He isn't dyslexic too which means he's able to read to her, speak to her about things I don't understand.

All my friends treated Nathan as if he was the one who had spent most of his life here since he was twelve.

Clarisse actually liked him. She met him and walked past me muttering something about 'toilet water' which she still holds a grudge against me for. I thought we'd sort of become friends but ever since Nathan swaggered across the border she's taken every opportunity to try and injure or embarrass me since.

All but Grover, Nico, Thalia, and surprisingly Leo.

Grover had been too busy with being Lord of the Wild to be at camp so he wasn't influenced by Nathan. Plus he'd take one look at Nathan, twitched his nose and announced 'Nathan smells funny.' He later told me Nathan didn't smell like me, which in my opinion was good. Nathan didn't share the same 'sea scent' as Grover proclaimed it.

Nico had taken one look at him and started laughing before threatening to punch him in the face. The next day Nathan had a broken nose and Nico couldn't stop laughing. I later found out Nico was 'supposedly' at Camp Jupiter, where he had shadow-traveled earlier in the day when Nathan insulted Hades, Nico, me, the Underworld, Tartarus, Thanatos, Mrs O'Leary and Cerberus.

Thalia was off with the Hunters so she had no idea about anything. I hoped she would have a similar response to Nico. She did have a fearsome protective air around her friends and immediately disliked anyone that had offended or annoyed any friends.

And Leo had looked at Nathan and screamed, announcing Nathan 'couldn't be uglier than a child between Gaia and Ma Gasket'. Nathan had later insulted Leo's search for whatever he was searching for, he wouldn't tell us what exactly, but he still burnt Nathan's eyebrows off and every single item of clothing Nathan owned.

I only had three sure friends, Thalia I was unsure about.

I had been loyal to everyone yet they were not loyal back.

Nathan was making my life hell and I would rather have gone back to Tartarus.

So I made the decision to leave.


A million words would not bring you back, I know because I tried, neither would a million tears, I know because I cried. -Unknown
