"Um, Fates?" Percy asked, remembering things from all those years ago.

"Yes, young hero?"

"I remember that at one point, I overheard the gods talking about plan C. They said they couldn't do it, can I see what would've happened if they did?"

"Yes, young hero," 

Percy was instantly teleported to the week after the final battle with Kronos. He remembered this moment, it was one of the moments he realized he loved Annabeth.

"Hey," he walked over to the blond.

Annabeth gave him a sad smile, prompting the son of Poseidon to continue, "Luke?"

"Yeah," Annabeth said quietly, "It's just, if he betrayed me and I've known him mg whole life, what about Grover, or Thalia, or you,"

"I'm not going anywhere," Percy said, just like he had all those years ago.

In a blink of an eye, he was transported to Olympus. That was not good timing.

Zeus opened his mouth, but before he could talk, Percy interrupted him. "You couldn't have pulled me two minutes earlier, or ten minutes later?"

"That's not why you are here, we believe-" Hera started.

"You believe? What do you believe? I just won a war for you guys, do I really have to do something else?"

"Perseus-" Posiedon started.

"You only ever fall me Perseus when you need something,"

"Jackson!" Zues thundered

"Yes my royal drama queen?"

"We don't want you to do something for us," Hestia said sadly.

"Oh, thank goodness. I after nearly dying to defeat Kronos for you, I'd be annoyed,"

"This is actually about you defeating Kronos," hades spoke from behind him.

"To be honest, I didn't even know you were there. You know, both you and Nico have the problem of shadow traveling every where. Maybe you should see a therapist because-"

"We are going to make you fear the water!" The king of the gods thundered, this time the demigod was interrupted.

With a small flash of the light, Percy knew the gods had done it before he could object.

"W-what?" Percy asked, this time his sass turned completely off. "Dad?"

Poseidon gave a small nod, "I'm sorry percy, it's for the best,"

"It's peruses to you,"

With that, the raven haired boy walked over to the exit, and headed back to camp.

"Percy," he heard a familiar voice behind him.

Turning around, he glared at Hermès, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Hestia. "What?"

"We voted against it. I just wanted you to know that,"

"Glad someone cares about what happens to me,"

I walked knot the camp barriers, immediately scanning the camp for Annabeth.

Finding the blond, Percy walked over to her. "Hey, I'm so sorry for leaving you earlier. The gods summoned me,"

"Your Fine Percy. It wasn't your fault, why'd they summon you anyway?"

"They said..." Percy started "they said they were going to make me afraid of water,"

"They did what?" Annabeth asked, surprised at the gods.

"They don't have the power to do that right?"

"Yeah. It was probably a joke,"

The two headed over to their spot on the beach, meeting Thalia, Nico, and Grover on the way there.

"Hey guys," they all greeted each other.

"Any one up for a swim?" Grover asked, the rest agreeing and getting in the water.

At camp, the rule of the lake was that anyone could swim, even if they were a child of the big three. Because of that, the campers loved to swim.

"Duh!" They all a greed, and the five of them changed into swimsuits.

Everyone but Percy ran towards the lake, jumping in. Well, Percy ran towards the lake, but as he tried to jump in, he stopped.

"Percy? You okay?" Grover asked

"Yeah. I don't know what's happening. I-I can't go to the water,"

"What?" Thalia and Nico asked.

"I don't know what's happening. I just, I can't go in there,"

"Why?" Grover asked.

"I don't want to drown, I don't know why,"

"Percy, your a son of Poseidon, you'll be okay,"

"Yeah, but- I just can't, okay?"

The group turned to Annabeth, who walked up to percy. "He went to Olympus and the gods cursed him to be afraid of the water. The only thing he can do with water is drink it,"

"That's.....terrible,"

"Tell me about it,"

"Do you think there's any way you could get in the water,"

Percy gave a sad shake of his head, "I don't think so. Every time I try, I just, i get this fear, and I can't go in,"

"I can't believe the gods. That's a terrible thing, they took away the water from you," Thalia said.

"I know," Percy said. He gave a look to the cabins and statues at camp, then back at his friends. "I don't think I can stay here, not after what they did,"

"What are you going to do? This is your home,"

"Not anymore,"

The group of demigods glanced at each other, "we're going too,"

"What? I can't let you do that,"

"We aren't asking for permission,"

Percy smiled, "well I guess I can't stop you,"

Before they could do anything, the demigod was transported to the future. He remembered everything, but it was like a dream, he couldn't stop himself from everything.

"Please. Who are you and what have we done to you to deserve this hatred?" Zeus asked.

He was joined by all the gods, well, the new gods. Years ago, four of the gods had left, along with some of the best demigods there was. They had barely survived the war with Gaia, and now the hooded people in front of them were destroying everything.

The one in the middle lowered his hood. The demigod has raven black hair, and his once joyful sea green eyes were filled with hatred.

"Percy?" Poseidon asked, "Son, your back?"

"It's Perseus. And I'm not your son. Maybe I was once, but you took that away from me when you took away the water,"

With a swift movement, all gods were at the through two of the hooded figures, all of them the betrayed ones from earth.

"Perseus," Zeus talked through a grunt, at Percys hands. "Why are you doing this to us?"

"You took away everything when you took away water, you took away the one thing I've always had. So now, I'm about to take away your everything,"

Percy and never felt so much rage as he did there. His pain and been hidden for years, and all he wanted to do was kill the god on the floor.

And that wasn't this reality talking.

It was normal Percy.

It's a bit longer than last time. Did you guys like it?!?!?!?
