Assassin Guardian of the Universe (PJ Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: Disowned and Betrayed

About 6 months later...
Percy POV
Things have changed a lot.

And it's not for the better.

I don't think I can stand any more of this.

Leo's still missing. No one has seen him since the explosion that killed Gaia. Jason, Piper, and Annabeth grew very arrogant, bossing around the younger campers and making them do their bidding. They completely ignored me, and everyone treated them as if they were the ones who saved the world.

Does Leo's sacrifice mean nothing to them?

Frank and Hazel have no idea what's going on. The Romans have all returned to Camp Jupiter ever since they had started acting rude towards them. The Romans couldn't believe how Jason was acting and left.

Some of the younger campers hate me apparently because I get 'special treatment' for saving Olympus. I started being framed for taking older campers' stuff, like the Stolls' pranking tools and Katie's seeds.

One by one, my friends turned on me.

Annabeth grew distant and rude. I thought I should just give her time, as hubris was her fatal flaw.

Then Piper even went as far as to charmspeaking the campers and the gods that I was a no good traitor. In no time, Poseidon disowned me and the gods turned their backs on me.

Except Hestia and Hecate.

Hades and Nico spend most of their time in the Underworld, and didn't really care what was going on up here.

I guess I was naive enough to believe gods can change.

The day before the summer solstice, the younger campers started beating me up. I got slammed into the wall, and I just sat there staring off into space and taking the punches.

By the end of it all, my body was sore and hurt all over. I ate some ambrosia and decided I should visit my mom.

But when I opened the door, I see Kelli the empousa slash at my mom. Paul lay dead in a pool of blood on the floor.

I screamed in rage and slaughtered her. Then I ran over to my mom. She had deep gashes across her neck, her breaths getting shallower and shallower.

"Mom! It's okay now, she's gone..." Tears streaked down my face.

"Hush, it's okay... you made me proud, and I'll always love you my son. I don't blame you for this. My baby boy's a hero..."

With that, she kissed my forehead and took one last breath.

And her bright blue eyes clouded over.

Sally Jackson-Blofis was dead.

I cried for a good two hours before I called for Blackjack to take me back to camp.

But what I saw ripped my broken heart to shreds.

Annabeth was kissing another camper, and all the gods and campers were cheering. Even Poseidon, and he hated Athena and her spawn.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a ring.

Flashback to after the ceremony

I was wandering around Olympus, when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

I whirled around and saw Athena smiling at me.

What?

"Percy, I never got to thank you for going down to Tartarus for my daughter. So, as a thank you, I give you my blessing to marry her."

I was shocked, and tears started forming in my eyes. I bowed before her.

"Thank you, Lady Athena."

Flashback end

I stared at the ring. Forged by Hepheastus himself, it was a simple band of silver engraved with wave designs. In the middle sat a sea green pearl, and the inside of the band wrote "Your seaweed brain forever."

I guess things aren't forever.

That was the last straw. I dug up some dirt and threw the ring in it, proceeding to bury it. I then run into my cabin and started packing, ripping all the photo albums of the seven I had with me and burning them with my flame powers.

Suddenly, 2 flashes appeared behind me. I spun around, and I saw Hestia and Hecate before me.

"Oh Percy," they murmmured, embracing me in a hug. I cried and cried, wondering why a hero's fate was so cruel.

"Percy, if it's okay with you, we would both like to adopt you."

"Sure, I mean, what else have I got to lose?"

They smiled.

A warm glow surrounded me, and I felt power and strength coursing through my veins.

"There's one more thing. I'm taking a silent vow. Until the day I meet someone who can help me heal and love me, I won't speak again."

The two goddesses nodded and smiled sadly.

Hestia spoke up.

"I know of a travel agency that can take you to space once every ten years, on the day before the solstice. It happens that this year it will be opened to Earth. Do you want to go?"

I lifted up a finger. Hestia raised an eyebrow.

I grabbed Riptide and uncapped it. Then I slammed it into the floor of the Poseidon cabin and Riptide was buried up to its hilt.

I then thought in my head, "I, Perseus Achilles Jackson revoke my ownership of Anaklusmos. May it stay here until the day I see someone worthy enough to wield this sword."

I then nod and hefted my bag.

"Great, let's go!"

With that, the goddesses and the ex-son of Poseidon flashed away.

Hope you enjoyed! Stay safe during this pandemic and stay hydrated:)

Also, I do NOT own PJ. Rick Riordan does.
