Chapter 1

Why? Why? The two wars should have been enough but then HE came. The one that changed my entire life and reduced me to THIS!

Flashback:

I had just returned from scouting the perimeter of camp when I spotted a boy running away from 2 cyclops and ran towards them. I uncapped riptide, causing it to elongate into a sword, and jumped, flip slashing the first cyclop and stabbing the other one through the throat. Suddenly, the boy who looked remarkably like piper, pushed me down and snatched my sword. At that moment, the rest of the campers came hurrying over due to the commotion.

The new boy started bragging, " that guy over there just tossed me his sword and ran away."

"What?" "No I didn't!" I replied.

<b> Warning. Coarse language. Skim to the next bold words if you don't want to see the vulgar language.</b>

But, being the bitches that they were they ignored me and walked away , cheering the new boy on.

At the campfire, we discovered that his name was mark lake. After a week, he had started manipulating everyone around me and made the think I was the one causing trouble in camp. He even summoned a hellhound and blame me for it. They did not listen to me and instead, they kicked me out of camp. Then, I ran home and saw surprise waiting for me. Annabeth was there and was holding a box.

I was overjoyed as I thought that she was about to propose to me but instead threw the box at me and shouted! "Why did you kill the Stoll twins?!?!"

"w-what? What do you mean? I asked

"You know what I mean!" She replied.

"you killed them and even left a note stating that they got intoyour way of world conquest!"

I ignored her and went into my mothers apartment. There, I saw a horrific scene waiting for me.

My mother and father were hanging from the rafters with their innards hanging out of their open stomachs that looked like it was forcefully ripped open with a knife.

Just as I thought 'Who could have done this?' , I saw a message written in my parents blood.

The message read:

<i>Dear Percy, </i>

<i>this is for what happened in the pit.</i>

<i>Your torturer,</i>
