1,965 days.
Or five years, four months, two weeks, and six days.
That's how long he'd been safe. How long he'd kept it a secret from his friends. From his family.
They didn't have to know. They could live their entire lives without knowing. But he hated keeping it a secret. Lying to them, sneaking around, deceiving them. He hated it. He wanted to get away from it all.
But if he told them...they'd hate him. They'd call him a liar, a murderer, a monster. They'd leave him and try to get as far away from him as possible. They'd tell him that he should just crawl in a hole and die.
He'd heard that before. He was used to it. He knew he deserved it, too. After all he'd done, he deserved cruel words being thrown at him, he deserved to die, he deserved to feel the pain he'd caused years ago.
He certainly didn't deserve the parties being thrown for him, the people looking at him in awe, the person that loved him and thought he could do no wrong.
They had it all wrong. He was no "Great Hero." He wasn't someone who was on the "good side." He was cunning, ruthless, manipulative, and plain wicked.
No, not a hero.
He was the villain.

A PJO fic lol if it wasn't obvious :)
Percy Jackson is not a good person.
At least, not anymore.
Percy has been through a lot. Annabeth is dead and his few remaining friends are scattered across America.
Percy's been loyal and heroic his whole life, he's always done what the gods asked. And they have only ever repaid him with pain and indifference. So now it's his turn. His longing for justice is growing and the more bitter he becomes, the more it sinks in that without Annabeth, he has nothing left to fight for. But then again, there's nothing holding him back.
Revenge is something that has long been above Percy. But at the end of the day, at least it's something to fight for.
The gods have forgotten that loyalty goes both ways. It's about time someone reminded them what happens when you lose the trust of a Demigod who rules on loyalty.
