You all know me. Percy Jackson, twice saviour of Olympus, bane of the giants, bane of Kronos, defeated of Gaia and all round funny guy. I lived happily with my friends at Camp Half-Blood, many of my friends Camp Jupiter had come to stay for a while and the hunters were visiting.

Me, Thalia and Nico were all sat around a tree at the top of half-blood hill, spending some quality family time together. I hasn't seen any of them in ages, since Nico was busy helping his father in the underworld and Thalia was busy with the hunt, so we had a lot of catching up to do. We were all just sat laughing when we heard a piercing howl rip through the air. We all looked at each other and said "hell hound". We saw a boy with green eyes and dark hair sprinting towards us, but it was obvious he would be caught by the hound. We ra forward as he tripped over and Thalia shot the hound on the foot. Most monsters would disintegrate from one of Thalia's arrows, but I guess this one was too big. However, it did a good job distracting it and it moved away from the boy. Nico disappeared into the shadows and appeared behind the overgrown dog, stabbing it in the back with his Stygian Iron blade. Somehow, the dog did not turn to dust again and bit Nico in the arm. Nico screamed in pain and that made me run to save my friend, I dodged the hound's paw and stabbed it through the stomach. Finally it began to disintegrate and the I ran to check on Nico, he was bloody but I had seen him survive worse, I then went to check on the boy to see if he was ok.

He looked to be about 2 years younger than me, which meant the gods had broken their oath to me. I'd have to confront them about that later, but this kid looked just like me. Sea green eyes, black hair, he was like a smaller version of me.

"Hey kid, you ok?" I asked him. All of a sudden he leapt up and tried to wrangle riptide out of my hands. In shock, I let go of my trusty weapon and he ran to pick it up. Thalia ran from her hilltop vantage point and raised her spear at the boy. It was then that the rest of the campers showed up.

"Why would you leave me to fight for myself? You left that boy over there to die!" the stranger shouted at me and Thalia, "I killed that massive hound without any training while you two scaredy cats just sat by and watched!"

"LIAR!" Thalia yelled at the boy going to thrust with her spear, until a green light was cast over us and Thalia looked up in shock. Above his head was a glowing green trident, showing us he was my Half Brother. "All Hail..."

"John Smith," the boy said.

"All Hail John Smith, Son of Poseidon, God of the sea, storms. The Earth Shaker" Chiron announced. All the campers but me and Thalia kneeled, me because I would only show my respect to him if he deserved it and Thalia because she was about to skewer him and turn him into a Smith-Kebab. The second shock happened when my father appeared looking furious, "Step away from my son, daughter of Zeus!" he spat at Thalia.

"Dad, what are you doing here and why did you break your oath?!" I asked in confusion and anger that it was my own father who broke the oath. "I am here to welcome the greatest hero of all time, my son John Smith has been raised by me in Atlantis and is the hero of the seas!"

"But he stole my sword, blamed me and Thalia and said we had left Nico to die!"

"DO NOT LIE ABOUT YOUR BROTHER PERSEUS JACKSON! HE WILL BE WELCOMED AS MY FAVOURITE SON AND YOU WILL DEAL WITH IT! Now, John I want you to tell us what happened here." And so he began to retell his lie about how we left Nico to help him and how once Nico was injured, he fought off the giant hound while me and Thalia stood and watched. I could see Thalia was going to exploit and probably kill him, so was I but I knew that my father would punish us dearly if we dared to injure the hero of the seas. It was then that Nico woke up, dazed he asked what happened, and if the boy was alright. "What do you mean boy? I was the one who saved you while those two sat by and watched."

"Umm, actually you were laying on the ground after you tripped over on a twig or something and me and Percy charged at the monster, I stabbed it but then I was bitten. Oh yeah, by the way, can someone get me some ambrosia to help me? Well anyway, the last thing I saw was Percy charging the beast and then I woke up here."

"You must be wrong, but anyways dad, I want a party to celebrate the arrival of the greatest hero ever." Thalia and Nico scoffed at that but with a glare from Chiron they didn't say anything more. "Of course my son, time to celebrate!"

During the party I saw Annabeth talking to John. 'Well,' I thought to myself, 'that's not gonna end well for him'. To surprise she started laughing at something he said and when I started to walk over towards her, she was glaring at me. She walked up to me and slapped me across the face. To say I was shocked would be an understatement, my wise girl had just slapped me. "AND THAT WAS FOR LEAVING NICO TO DIE, DO I EVEN REALLY KNOW YOU ANYMORE?! YOU KNOW WHAT PERCY, WE'RE THROUGH!" and with that she walked back over to my brother who was smirking at me. I couldn't believe what had just happened, did she just dump me?! Everyone was looking at me and I could see many emotions, from the new campers I could see anger at me for leaving someone to die, from Annabeth's siblings I could see happiness that she wouldn't have to deal with me anymore, but from the few friends that believed me was sadness because they knew I didn't deserve that.

Over the next few weeks, a rift began to appear in camp. The people who defended me were on one side (Thalia, Nico, Clarisse, Chris and the Stolls) and and the rest who believed John. Annabeth didn't leave John's side for weeks, apparently saying that she feared that we would stab him for telling the truth. Whenever I walked around camp I would get death glares and threats, it seemed that John had spread lies about me breaking things or stealing things. Of course, none of these are true but no one seems to trust me anymore. Katie Gardener (A/N - Is that spelt right?) came up to me one day and slapped me, saying that John told her what I did to her flower garden; One of Clarisse's siblings came up to and demanded a duel after I had made of mockery of each member of their cabin, Clarisse believed me and told her brother to go stab a dummy, but it still hurt. The only thing keeping me going was my friends, and especially Thalia. She stood by me and helped me whenever any of the campers accused me of something. We both, slowly, got closer to one another until one day she told me she was leaving the hunt. "WHAT! Thalia, why would you do that? I know you love the hunt!"

"Well sea-weed brain, I think I've found someone I love," she rolled her eyes at me, smiling.

"Well, who's the lucky guy?" I felt sad. Over the past few weeks I had grown to develop feelings for her, I hoped she would grow to love me two but I guess I wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't with me.

"Well, he's one of my closest friends, I've known him for years and he just broke up with his girlfriend." She said, for some reason she was blushing. "Uh...Who?" I asked, genuinely confused because it sounded like me.

"You." She whispered, just loud enough for me to barely hear it.

"Can you say that again, a little louder please," a grin beginning to form on my face.

"You, gods damn it kelp head, don't make me say it again, I'm sure neither of us wanted to be smitten by a certain huntress," she said, louder this time. She began to blush furiously.

"Um..so what do you think? Do you like me too?" She asked me, hoping for me to accept.

"Oh, pinecone face, of course I love you!" I told her as I pulled her into a hug, our lips closer than they have ever been and we were both excited when we got closer to each other. Our lips, finally connected, and I couldn't help but realise that this felt 10x better than anything I felt with Annabeth. I realised that Thalia was the one meant for me and not Annabeth. For the first time in weeks, I was happy.

4 WEEKS LATER

Over the past few weeks, me and Thalia had gotten closer and the hatred for me around camp had died down. Every so often, someone would come up to me and accuse me of something but either Thalia or one of my friends would tell them to shove it. I was back to my usual self and enjoyed myself to the fullest. Somehow, the hunters still had not left Camp and Artemis had not yet discovered me and Thalia. My other friends would occupy the hunters if they were close to finding us because we had the feeling that whatever Artemis would do to us, would not be any fun.

This worked for a while until Annabeth saw us. We were sat by Zeus' fist in the woods having one of our regular

make-out sessions when behind us a twig snapped and we saw Annabeth staring at us. Suddenly, a wicked smirk appeared on her face as she put on her Yankees cap and disappeared. We didn't know what she would do with the information of Percy Jackson and Thalia Grace making out, but we knew that whatever she did would have something to do with hurting me even more.

The next day, while eating breakfast on the beach, since no one except my friends wanted me there, a flash of golden light, so bright it forced me to shut my eyes, alerted me that a God or Goddess had just flashed in front of me. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Hermes was stood in front of me "Lord Hermes, what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Perseus Jackson," he boomed in an intimidating voice, "you have been summoned by the Olympian Council to stand trial as evidence has been found that you were an agent of Kronos and a spy for Gaia. You are to come with me, willingly or not."

"I haven't done that but I will prove my innocence."

"Ok Jackson, hold onto me and I will flash us into the Throne Room." I held tight and I felt my feet leave the floor. Now, if anyone hasn't flashed before, I would NOT recommend it, when we appeared in front of the Olympians I felt like I was going to throw up. The only thing that stopped me was the glare I was getting from each Olympian besides Hades and Hestia (Percy gave them their thrones back at the end of the Giant War). "PERSEUS JACKSON," Zeus boomed interrupting the deadly silence, "YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY FOR CRIMES AGAINST OLYMPUS, HIW DO YOU PLEA?"

"Lord Zeus, I have fought for Olympus in 2 wars, I have done nothing but help the many demigods and respected each God, Major or Minor. So why would I betray Olympus." In demanded, outraged that anyone would accuse me of something like this.

"How about we ask the brave people who brought us this information, Annabeth Chase and John Smith." Both shock and betrayal ripped through me, I was confused as to why they would tell lies like this. "Lord Zeus, after I saw Percy's weird behaviour I though that me and John should search his belongings and in them we found plans of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter," she then turned to look at Artemis, "I'm sorry to say my lady that he was busy with your lieutenant. You see, he has seduced her and tried to get her to break her oath, he used some form of magic to force her into it I know it." I was shocked, I knew she would tell Artemis but like this? I didn't think she could have the heart to do that but obviously she did. Artemis went from a scowl to a look of horror and anger. She flashed out and returned with Thalia, my face lit up in her presence until I realised she was going to be punished. Artemis chained her to the floor and asked Thalia if she knew that I had used magic to force her to love me. I tried to protest but a muzzle appeared over my mouth and I saw Ares smirking. "My Lady, he has not used magic on me, I have fallen for him of my own will. I want to leave the hunt to be with him." The Goddess of the Hunt looked disbelieving, she looked at me as if I was a monster that she was hunting, it was a little scary. "You would not be aware of the magic, but if you are right then I cannot have him hurting such a good huntress in the future. You will take a dip in the River Lethe so that this false love will be washed away." Horror covered mine and Thalia's faces, she began to cry and I shouted at the Goddess to leave her alone.

All of a sudden Thalia spoke in the clearest voice she could muster "I..I knew. I helped Percy betray Olympus." A stunned silence filled the room, and then an argument started. Artemis wanted her to be sentenced to the Lethe and to stay a huntress while most of the other Gods wanted her death. "SILENCE!" Zeus shouted as loud as he could, thunder boomed in the distance showing his anger. "Thalia Grace, you are no longer a daughter of mine, for crimes against Olympus I disown you." A ball of light erupted from Thalia's chest and she crumpled, I ran towards her and shook her. She began to stir as I looked up and saw the ball of light be absorbed by Zeus. "Now, we are a council, are we not? We will vote on the deaths of the two traitors." Zeus stated, the shocked council looked at him. Apparently this was the first time he had said something as sensible as this. Except for Hades and Hestia, all the Olympians voted for our execution. The one that hurt most was my father, he didn't even seem fazed that he voted for his sons death. Thalia was still barely conscious, I held her close until Ares and Artemis ripped us apart. Zeus raised his master bolt towards his ex-daughter and a flash of lightning flashed towards her and she was gone. I screamed as my father raised his trident towards me and shot a green beam towards me as I cried for my lost love.
