Percy's POV

Dream

I had just completed quests for Athena to get her permission so that I could propose to Annabeth. I had decided to drop by at my mom's place, after getting the ring from Hephaestus (who happily congratulated me after we chatted for a while), to tell her that I was going to propose. I was so excited. It had been two years since I had last seen her and Paul.

I might have been stalling to get to camp. I mean I wanted to propose as soon as possible but camp was not the same home it had been for me for the past years. I thought I could talk it over with mom and get some comfort.

I was thinking about all the betrayals and false accusations thrown at me since Xander had arrived to camp, as I walked to her apartment. The six (except Annabeth), Thalia, Nico, Will, everyone chose to believe Xander over me. They'd randomly attack me with the intent of harming me, talk bad about me and even make fun of me while I did nothing to defend myself. Even Chiron and Grover chose him over me. And the worst betrayal so far was that of father.

When I couldn't take it any longer and attacked Xander, and started to punch him (his face was turning blue and he had two black eyes), father appeared and threw me off Xander with such force, making me hit one of the cabins and injure my back bone (because of the impact). Every camper was shocked, most of all myself. He yelled at me, wouldn't even listen to what I had to say, took Xander's side, and verbally disowned me in front of everyone, all before I could even properly sit upright,

I was a bit worried that mother would find some way to kill Poseidon when she found out (and maybe laughed a bit at that though), but boy was I wrong. I knocked on the door and she opened with a smile. Seeing me, a look of fear crossed her face. I was shocked and thought I had misread it (I mean why would mother have that look???)...

Mother (surprised): Per... Percy??? Why are you here???

Me (smiling even though I was shocked): This is my home... Why wouldn't I be here???

Mother (not looking at my eye): Percy, I need you to leave... Don't you ever come here again, please... It doesn't really matter, you have camp and everyone there...

Me (shocked (tears forming in my eyes)): But why???

Girl: Mommy!!! Who's there???

Me (shocked): Who's that???

Mother (closing to door so I couldn't see inside): She you're half-sister. I'm so sorry Percy, but I don't want Lizzie to be in danger because of your visits and stays. You have camp so please don't come here anymore. We could meet anywhere else...

I couldn't believe it, mother, who had been with me since I was born, protected me and loved me, didn't want me around because she didn't want my sister to be mixed in my dangerous life??? What happened to the mother who was dying for me to visit her and keep her up to date??? Does she no longer need me now that she has another???

I faked a smile and said that all was well in camp (I no longer felt like telling her any of my problems) and that I wouldn't come by anymore. I went to camp to get Annabeth's comfort only to see her cheating on me with my brother, saying that he was better than me while kissing him. She even said that she hoped that I would never came back from wherever I had gone... 

I was heartbroken...

Soon after I was whizzed away to Olympus, where I was accused of working with Gaea, and a vote took place to decide whether I was to live or die... My father, who'd always protect me, would not even look into my eyes. Apollo, being the god of truth, chose his throne over our friendship. Not even Hermes would say a word for me (even he chose his throne). Only Hestia, Hephaestus and Hades tried to fight for me, but how can three overrule eleven??
