Chapter 1

Heartbreak…

Rage…

Betrayal…

This is what happens when your fatal flaw is loyalty. That no matter what you have done, you will be forgotten by ones you believed to be your friends. Now I am nothing to them. Just a stupid, idiotic, pathetic, weak, worthless boy that they just used for fame. All because of my asshole of a half-brother. That happened to me very recently, and my best friend. Hi, this depressed person's name is Percy Jackson, my best friend is Nico Di Angelo. You know what, let give you my point of view of the betrayal done to the both of us.

Flashback (Percy's POV)

It was midnight and I was taking camp patrols, sitting next to Peleus the dragon and guardian of the Golden Fleece, when I saw someone running up the hill, with a small army of monsters behind her/he. I told Conner, who was taking patrol with me, to blow the conch shell and get Chiron, while I go down there. I took out Riptide and sprinted into battle.

Once I was close to the scene, I saw what I am dealing with. There were about six hell-hounds. The figure was a short, skinny, scrawny, lanky guy. He looked about my age. He had a rat-nest of brown hair, eyes color of mud, and bad case of acne. He was cowering and looks like he was about to piss his pants.

One of the hell-hounds lunged at me, but I rolled to the side and stabbing it on the side, turning it to yellow dust. Another hell-hound charged at me and I ran towards it, dropping to my knees, bent my back backwards, sliding under its stomach and stabbing it right in the middle of its body, covering myself in yellow dust. I quickly whipped my head up and saw that the last four hell-hounds surrounded me in a circle, growling and looking at me with blood-lust eyes. The kid was hiding behind a tree, watching everything with fearful eyes.

A plan popped in my head. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and raised my hands up. I was searching for water and found it at the beach. The same pain came to my gut, as I willed the water to come. When I opened my eyes, my hands were above my head, levitating water above me that could fill at least seven pools. Sweat dripped down my forehead. The hell-hounds looked at the water with fear in their eyes. They were about to escape, but they were not going away that easily. I pushed my hands forward and the water rushed at the hell-hounds. The hell-hounds were washed away, only leaving sounds of yelps and a trail of yellow dust. I was tired, but I made myself get up and walk up to the guy and make sure he was alright. I found him behind a tree, in a fetal position.

I just scoffed. "I'd change your pants if I were you." His face turned red and he walked away from me.

We walked up the hill and saw all of the campers there, ready for battle. Annabeth's face was relieved when she saw me, but her attention quickly went to the asshole, which unnerved me. The whole camp gasped at something glowing above his head. His parent has claimed him. Not any parent.

My DAD.

I mentally groaned when I realized he was my new half-brother. A bright flash came and everybody knelt down, as they all felt the power of a God. It was my father, Poseidon. I smiled at him, but it quickly faded away as he completely ignored me and walked up to my half-brother. "Everybody, welcome my son, Mark Sherman," Poseidon said with so much pride in his voice. That struck me at the heart.

And to make matters worse, as time went on, Mark started to boast about how he defeated a pack of six monsters and two weeks surviving on his own, with only his hands as weapons. He lied to everybody through his teeth. But what was worse, is that everybody believed him. They all look at him like, some sort of God. Everybody then started to resent me, except my closest friends. Mark told everybody lies about me. Destroying their things, blaming me, and how I let their siblings die in the wars. The only people I had left were Annabeth, Nico, Piper, Jason, Leo, Calypso, Hazel, Frank, and Chiron. Reyna was still praetor at Camp Jupiter and the legion still had my back.

But soon, Annabeth left me too.

It was midnight and I just came back after doing a little favor for Demeter about saving the environment. I was hoping for Annabeth to greet me at the border, but nothing. In fact nobody was around. They all seemed to be at the Big House. Everybody was cheering. I hid back in the shadows,and quickly joined by Nico who seemed enraged at what was about to happen.

"All hail, Mark Sherman, the most powerful demigod to have ever lived and true hero" shouted Zeus to the crowd.

Everybody cheered in agreement. Mark had a smug smile on his face that I just want to punch it right off his face. Mark then grabbed Annabeth and kissed her. She kissed right back without hesitating. She didn't even try to push him off, considering that she is my girlfriend, I snapped.

"What is going on HERE!?" I shouted over the cheering, walking up, making everybody stop cheering and watch me. They clearly saw I was fuming mad.

"Ah, look who finally showed up" sneered Zeus. Everybody looked at me with disgust and anger, my own father included. All except for Artemis, Hestia, Hermes, Hades and my roman friends.

"What. Is. Going. On?" I asked through gritted teeth. I took a step forward, but was stopped by my dad pointing his Trident at my chest. I looked at him with disbelief. "What are you doing?"

"The Gods have discussed together and have agreed to banish you and that boy, Nico Di Angelo from camp. You two are no longer welcome here" he said to me with venom in his voice.

My eyes widened. "Banishment? For what? What have we possibly done?" I asked them.

"For working with the Titans and Gaia in both wars. Mark has full proof of you two betraying us" answered Zeus.

"What?! Are you stupid?! After everything we have done, you banish us, by my stupid half-brother's lies?!" I shouted to everybody.

"Watch who you are talking to boy" Poseidon warned me dangerously.

"BOY?! I'M YOUR SON!" I shouted at him.

"You're not my son."

I looked at him, with hurt all over my face. "After everything I have done for you, this is how you repay me. A father should not treat their own child like this."

"YOU'RE A MISTAKE!" Poseidon shouted at me.

"So meeting my mother was a mistake, huh?" I asked him, rage fueling my body. "If I am a mistake, did you regret ever meeting my mother? Did you even loved her? Or did you just want to get into her pants?" I fired questions after questions at him. He was silent. "ANSWER ME!" I shouted at him, tears now coming down my cheeks as I was shaking in anger.

It was so quiet, that you can hear a pin drop.

"You have an hour to pack your things and leave. Never come back" said Zeus, breaking the silence.

My eyes connected with Annabeth. We had a silent conversation. Are you coming with me? My eyes asked her.

She didn't look at me. That's all the answer I needed. I looked away from her and looked at the ground, hurt, sadness, fury, and betrayal written all over my face. "Fine. But remember this day. The day you lost heroes. When you need us the most, we won't come to your aid. When you pray, we won't listen. Come searching, and you won't find us. But if you do, you won't live to see another day." I whispered coldly towards all of them as the winds started to pick up angrily.

I quickly left with Nico and walked to Cabin 3, to pack, as Nico already had his stuff gathered. Behind me I could hear the celebration going on. I marched to Cabin 3 and barge through the door. I was breathing heavily. Nico walked into the bathroom to start gathering my things. I walked over to the mirror, connected to my dresser. I leaned on the dresser and looked at my reflection. When I saw myself, words like Mistake, Traitor, whispered in my ear. Anger filled my body and I punched the mirror, shattering it to million pieces. I flipped the dresser to the other side of the cabin. I ripped off my camp necklace, feeling that it was choking me, causing the beads to bounce on the floor. I took off my camp shirt, like it was on fire and threw it across the cabin, leaving me bare chest. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration.

I punched the wall.

"How could you Percy?"

Punch

"I trusted you!"

Punch. Punch.

"I thought you were my friend?"

Punch. Punch. Punch.

"All your fault!"

Scream. Punch. Punch. Punch.

"All my fault." Tears spilled. I slid down on my back and down to the floor. I sobbed in my hands. Nico wrapped me into a hug and held me close and tight rubbing my back.

The words repeated over and over again in my head. I banged the back of my head on the wall, over and over again, just want to get rid of those words.

How could they do this to me? After everything I have ever done for them, this is how the repay me? I could see why Luke sided with the Titans.

Annabeth.

Her name just brings rage through my veins. After everything we have gone through, does that mean nothing to her? At least I have Nico with me, without him, I don't what know what I would do. He was my brother, despite him having a crush on me. That thought made me smile.

I just sat there, when I saw the ring my mother had given me. I picked it up and hold it tightly in my right hand. I was hoping to give this to Annabeth someday, but everything has changed. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back, hoping this is all just a nightmare. Through my closed eyelids, a bright white light came in my room. My eyes snapped open and I was blinded by the light. I used my hands to cover my eyes from the brightness of the mysterious light.

The light slowly faded away. I removed my hands from my face and saw that it was Artemis, Hestia, Hermes, Hades, I quickly jumped up to my feet and took out Riptide, pushing Nico behind me.

"What do you want? Are you here to kill us? Because if you are, we are not going down without a fight" I dangerously told them, ready to use Riptide as Nico had raised his blade as well.

"Percy, we are not here to harm. Quite the opposite actually. Please, just lower your weapon." Hermes said.

But I didn't lower my guard. "Swear it in the River Styx, that everything you say is true." He repeated the oath, thunder rumbled followed by silence.

"I just want a normal life" I said.

"And you will get a normal life" Hermes told me.

"What do you mean?" I asked them, as that received my full attention.

"Our offer. If you accept it, you will leave everything behind, a fresh start. Only if you accept" Hestia explained to me.

"It depends. What's the offer?" I asked them.

"If you accept our offer, we would like to become your Patrons. For millennia, I have been searching the right hero to be my champion, and I have found two" said a hopeful Hestia.

I look at each of their faces, detecting any false info or lie. But I saw none. I thought over their offer. It was very tempting yes, but if I take it, I'll know I will never have a normal life. But I do want to show everybody how much stronger I have become without them. That I don't need them. I am better off without them. With a final decision, I know exactly what to do. I knelt down on one knee, bowing my head.

"I accept your offer My Ladies, and My Lords, but only if Nico gets the same offer." I told them.

Hades nodded before adding. "First you two must think of a place to go now that this has happened. Preferably if you have any family that will take my boy in with you Percy."

I thought hard. I looked around as if that will give me the answer to my question. And it did. My eyes landed on one particular picture that was on the floor, covered in shards of the mirror I broken. I slowly walked forward, bent down and picked it up carefully, dusting away the shards off. It was me, my mom, Uncle Chris, Aunt Victoria and Cousin Alison. A smile slowly appeared on my face, remembering that day. I got up and pocketed the picture in my jeans. Smilingly, I turned around and faced them.

"Beacon Hills, California. So I'll stay at my Uncle's house, but wouldn't they be dangerous because of my demigod scent?" I asked them, worried about my only family's safety.

"Once we have given you some of our powers, monsters will be too terrified to come after you. They will believe it will be a Godly presence, not a demigod. Only a few monsters will attack,but only if sent by another God" explained Hestia.

I nodded, relief that I'm not going to put other people in more danger.

"Are you ready?" Hermes asked.

I nodded and looked dead-eye at him and smiled. "I was born ready."

Hestia nodded at me and closed her eyes. She started to speak in Greek in a rapid pace, that I didn't understand a single word she said. Then orange and red mist came out of her body and reached to me. As the mist touched me, I gasped in surprise as power surged through me. I could feel it go through my veins. I felt a cold sensation go through the left side of my upper body and the left side of my neck. I felt so powerful, that I could fight the Giant War all over again by myself. I didn't realized it, but my body and eyes started to glow brighter in the dark. Everything seems so much clearer. My whole body glowed so bright that the gods shielded their eyes.

A few seconds later, it stopped and Hestia was sweating and breathing heavily. My vision was blurry and Nico and I were gasping for air. They were gasps around the room. I looked at them, Hestia, and Artemis, were blushing madly. "What? Why are you looking at us like that?" I questioned them.

Is it me or did this shirt grow tighter? I thought to myself, barely could breathe in my now tight shirt. They just stared at me, mouth opening and closing. Hermes and Hades were the only ones that seemed to be unaffected, as Hermes rolled his eyes at the Goddesses. Hermes snapped his fingers and out of thin air he materialized a full length mirror. Looking at it made me realize that Nico and I looked exactly alike except for our faces and hair of course.

My eyes widen as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I've changed. I was taller now, towered over my 6'0 to a 6'4. My sun-kissed tan glowed in the dark. My eyes shined brighter, more vibrant. I have also gain a few more muscles, the reason why my shirt is so tight and my pants being so short. I notice a black drawing at the left side of my neck, all the way down to my left arm, stopping at my wrist. I realized it was a tattoo. A tribal tattoo. It spread across the left side of my chest, stopping at the middle of my upper body. I turned around and the left side of my back is also covered in tattoos. Basically the whole left side of my upper body. I turned back around and trace the tattoo with my index finger.

"The tribal tattoo is your enchanted armor which is my blessing. When you are in battle, just think about the armor in your head and the tattoo will start to change into your battle armor. To change back, just think in your mind to change the armor back into a tattoo and it will. Go on, give it a go." Hades said as we checked out our tattoos.

I tightly shut my eyes closed and imagine the tattoo spreading all over me, forming into armor. You know the feeling when your foot fall asleep, well that is how my whole body feels. It was uncomfortable. I slowly opened my eyes, as the feeling went away. I was surprised at what I saw. All of my clothes changed. Nico followed my actions a minute later.

I wore a black sleeve-less under armor muscle shirt, with a black assassin jacket over it, with the hood already up, covering almost my whole face except my mouth, cheeks, and nose. Over my jacket was a midnight black and silver Greek/Roman chest plate with a fire in the middle. The other God's symbols surrounding the fire. I wore slim black jeans, with black army boots. I wore black leather fingerless gloves. I have a two swords holder was on my back that would make an "X" shape. I have belt of throwing knives. I also have a hidden dagger behind my back above my waist, three on the back of each of my shoulders, and one in each of my boot. I have ten black ninja throwing stars, in two pockets on either side of my hip.

I then closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and thought back to my original clothes. The uncomfortable feeling came back and I forced my eyes to stay open. I looked in fascination as the armor slowly disappeared and crawled up to my skin, forming back the tattoo at its previous place.

"My blessing has enhanced your hearing, sight, smell, strength, speed, and your reflexes. Your weapons on your armor will always come back. They are a mixture of Celestial bronze, imperial gold, and silver. Your armor will camouflage to any color to be unseen by your enemies. Also your hood will never fall down. Not even if someone pulls it down. Only you can remove it" Hestia explains.

I looked down at my right forearm and flexed my arm. I started at my SPQR tattoo with 16 lines. Mars wanted to add more to them, to show everybody I am a true Roman warrior. Ares hates my guts, but Mars admires my skills.

Bipolar much.

Hermes came forward and gave each of us an envelope, "Open this when you are alone, it will explain why I can't give you my blessing." We nodded and pocketed it.

Artemis then came forward. "I haven't said thank you for saving me and holding the weight of the world for me. Also I'll like to apologize for my idiotic brother's decision and be happy if we become friends. I'll like to give this to you two. As well, I will bless you two giving the ability to transform into a wolf. Plus if you two want, on your way to your new home, I can have Lady Lupa help you two get used to shifting." Artemis said.

She snapped her fingers and out of thin air materialized something, as well as a beam of moonlight hit Nico and I. She placed it in my hand. It was cold. I looked down and saw that it was necklace. It was a silver and black chain connected to a half-moon pendant with a rubber cord in the inside, doing zig-zags. When I was putting it around my neck, Artemis started explaining. "When you pull on the pendant, it will transform into a silver hunting bow, with never ending arrows in a quiver. To transform it back, just imagine it back to a necklace."

"Thank you Lady Artemis. I'll gladly be friends with you. I'll will even help you recruit new huntresses. You have my word" I promised to her, as I bowed my head slightly

She gave me one of her rare smiles. "Thank you Perseus." She took a step back with the others.

"Thank you, all of you. I don't know where I'll be without your help" I gratefully told them.

Hades stepped forward and summoned a black Stygian Iron sword and held it up to me. "Percy, for your actions in helping my family in the wars and for being a role model for my children I give you my blessing as well as this sword, it's name is Alpha. You truly are the greatest demigod, this world has ever faced. If you need anything call me, I will show up in an instant. We will see each other soon in the future, Perseus. But for now, I bid you farewell, take care my son" added Hades, as they all started to glow, until they disappeared.

I sighed and started to pack everything of my belongings. Shirts, pants, shorts, shoes, money, drachmas, weapons, first aid-kit, ambrosia, nectar, and pictures of my Mom, Aunt Victoria, Uncle Chris, and Alison. I filled up two duffel bags and one backpack. I tested out my new found powers from Hestia and burned it. I watched as the pictures and camp clothes burned into ashes. I left Cabin 3, not even putting out the fire. Nico followed me into the forest to start our journey towards a new home across the country.

Flashback End

That brings us back to our regularly scheduled program. It's been about 2 months since we left Camp Half-Blood. We had spent about a month at Camp Jupiter, spending time with the Romans explaining our presence. And also getting used to being a werewolf, that could fully shift into a wolf unlike the normal hybrid. While we were there, we learned that we were an oddity among werewolves. Lupa was shocked when she looked into our eyes the first time we shifted successfully. Apparently, both Nico and I are something called True Alphas. Meaning, we assume the rank of Alpha without having to kill or take over a pack.

Currently Nico and I are on a bus somewhere in Nevada, before realizing that I need to call Chris and Victoria to get permission first. There was a click.

"Hello?" a man's voice said through the line.

"Um, Uncle Chris?"

He gasped at the other end of the line. "Percy?! Is that you?! It's been so long since I heard from you!" Uncle Chris said.

"Yeah, it's me. It's been a while."

"It's really good to hear from you. How you've been?"

I sighed. "I've been better."

He could hear the sadness in my voice. "What's wrong, Percy?"

I scratch the back of my neck and let out a deep breath. "I had a fight with my dad and was wondering if I can ask you a huge, mega favor?"

Before you start, no he doesn't know about the Gods and me. He thinks that my dad Poseidon works for the Navy.

"You could ask me anything. You're like a son to me" he told me truthfully.

That brought a happy smile on my face and my eyes to glisten with tears. "I was wondering if my friend and I could stay with you at Beacon Hills, until we graduate from high school. My friend is the one year younger than me, I promise that he won't cause much trouble, he is after all much like me. He is going through the same thing as me." I asked him hopefully.

"Of course you two can live with us." He told me.

"Thanks Uncle Chris, one more thing, don't tell Alison I'm coming I want it to be a surprise so make sure she opens the door. I will text you when we pull up. Thanks again." I thanked him.

"No problem. You will just have to crash in the guest room."

"It's alright."

"How are you going to get here?" He asked me.

"I'll fly over there. And thanks so much. Can't wait to see you."

"No problem. I can't wait to finally see how you've grown up."

You have no idea, I thought.

"Bye Uncle Chris. See you in a couple hours."

"Bye Percy. See you soon." He then ended the call.

Nico looked to me with a smirk on his face, in which I slapped the back of his head playfully. He leaned his head to my chest and promptly fell asleep. Leaving me to my thoughts. Nico, my sweet guardian angel…nothing will tear us apart now, mio amico. (Italian for: my friend)
